Governor Highlights Buddhist Wisdom and Modern Science for Achieving Viksit Bharat 2047

Shimla :  The Governor underscored the transformative power of blending ancient Buddhist philosophy with contemporary scientific innovation as the cornerstone for realizing the vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047.' Speaking at a seminar focused on national development, the Governor stated that India’s path to becoming a developed nation lies in its unique ability to harmonize spiritual heritage with technological advancement.

The Governor emphasized that Buddhist principles—specifically compassion, sustainable living, and mindfulness—offer a vital moral framework for modern governance and social development. By integrating these values with the rigors of modern science and digital transformation, India can create a model of progress that is not only economically robust but also socially inclusive and environmentally conscious.

"Viksit Bharat is not merely about achieving high GDP numbers or infrastructure milestones; it is about building a society that reflects our civilizational ethos while leading in the global technology race," the Governor remarked. The address highlighted that the teachings of Lord Buddha, which emphasize the 'Middle Path,' serve as an ideal guide for navigating the challenges of the 21st century, including climate change, mental health crises, and social discord.

Furthermore, the Governor urged the youth and academic institutions to embrace research and development without losing sight of India’s cultural identity. The integration of modern technology in sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and education, when supported by a value-based ethical foundation, will ensure that India’s growth is resilient and sustainable. The event concluded with a call to action for policymakers and citizens alike to adopt a holistic approach, ensuring that the fruits of modern progress reach the last person in society, thereby fulfilling the nation’s 2047 vision.
