‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’
Dr. Vivek Sharma
In a resounding manifestation of national progress and inclusivity, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY), spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has become a beacon of fervor across various districts in Jammu and Kashmir. With a resolute commitment to a Developed India, the Yatra strategically reaches the Panchayats of the Border and Hilly blocks within the Union Territory.
At the heart of this transformative initiative is a specially equipped van, serving as the epicenter for engaging activities during day-long events. A standout feature is the pioneering demonstration of Drone technology for agricultural innovation by the Department of Agriculture. This effort not only educates but also captivates attendees, showcasing the potential of drone technology in revolutionizing the agricultural sector.
Educational institutions actively contribute through the Viksit Bharat @2047 initiative, hosting interactive sessions and online webcasts. This collaborative approach emphasizes development devoid of discrimination based on caste, religion, creed, or sex.
For the first time in India’s independent history, development has reached the remotest corners. PM Modi’s Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra ensures that every scheme achieves 100 percent saturation, leaving no one excluded. This commitment mirrors a transformative vision for the nation, where inclusivity and progress intertwine.
The VBSY stands as a testament to collective action and unwavering dedication. As the Yatra unfolds, it vividly portrays a developed and united India, transcending geographical challenges from the hilly terrains of Doda Kishtwar to the plains of Jammu. The overwhelming response attests to the Yatra’s impact across diverse landscapes.
Zubair Bashir, a pharmacist in District Hospital Kulgam, highlights how generic medicine stores launched during the Yatra significantly reduced medication bills for patients. He appreciates the government for enhancing healthcare accessibility.
Samridhi Singh , a renowned singer from Kishtwar urges citizens to contribute positively towards making the nation ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. She encourages people to take advantage of the Viksit Rath and enroll in various welfare programs, fostering a united initiative.

In the last four years, Jammu and Kashmir have witnessed remarkable milestones, including the completion of the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab River. Diwali at Sharda Temple after 75 years, Muharram processions returning to Srinagar’s streets after 34 years, and the inauguration of J&K’s First Multiplex are noteworthy achievements.
The amendment to the J&K Panchayati Raj Act in October 2020 enabled the creation of District Development Councils, resulting in 35,000 elected representatives.
The road macadamization in Jammu and Kashmir has reached a record level, touching 20.84 km per day during 2021-22. Educational institutions thrive with the establishment of IIM, IIT, and AIIMS in Jammu, while AIIMS enriches Kashmir’s medical landscape. The region has seen the addition of 48 new colleges, five medical colleges, and two Cancer Institutes.
A new dawn for farmers in J&K is marked by initiatives like ?2517 cr for J&K farmers through PM KISAN, Gobardhan projects nurturing agricultural advancement, and settling ?96 cr+ claims under PM Fasal Bima Yojana. Over 2 crore tourists explored the breathtaking UT in 2023, with 15 tourist/trekking routes accessible.
The new governance era includes repealing 205 State laws, revamping 130, and leading with 890 Central Laws. Human, Women & SC/ST Rights Commissions have been established.
The journey of Viksit Jammu Kashmir aligns with the nation’s steps to achieve Viksit Bharat by 2047. Stories from beneficiaries, like a Kulgam family saving crucial funds through the #AyushmanBharat #SEHAT Scheme, Abdul Hamid Ganai’s positive experience with #PMKisan Samman Nidhi Yogna, and Zahid Ahmad Mir praising government initiatives, underscore the impact of these schemes on real lives.
In conclusion, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra stands as a transformative force, weaving inclusivity and progress into the fabric of Jammu and Kashmir. Through collective efforts and visionary initiatives, the region strides towards a developed and united India by 2047.
