Road to developed economy: Country needs to foster a strong synergy between urban and rural India

The Viksit Bharat initiative aims to elevate the average income of 1.5 billion Indians to match that of developed nations by 2047. India's urban population is expected to grow from 34% in 2018 to 40% by 2030, while the rural population will see a slight decrease. To achieve developed status, a strong synergy between urban and rural areas is essential.
