The Uttarakhand government has launched an open call for suggestions from citizens and institutions as it prepares the Vision Uttarakhand 2047 document, a roadmap to transform the state into a developed region by the year 2047. The initiative is part of the wider Viksit Bharat State Campaign, which marks India’s centenary of independence.
Our correspondent reports that the vision document aims to reflect the aspirations of citizens across Uttarakhand. Suggestions have been invited not only from the general public but also from research and academic institutions, non-governmental organisations, and community-based groups. Officials explained that this inclusive approach would ensure that the strategy addresses ground realities as well as long-term developmental goals.
The Principal Secretary for Planning has requested that all inputs be submitted by 20 October 2025. Citizens can send their ideas online through the state planning department’s dedicated portal at https://cppgg.uk.gov.in/ukvision47/index.php/ideaform
or by using a QR code made available for convenience. Authorities have assured that each suggestion will be carefully reviewed and incorporated in a suitable manner into the final document.
Our correspondent adds that the government has stressed the importance of broad participation in the process. Officials noted that while experts will contribute insights on infrastructure, health, and technology, the voices of ordinary citizens are equally critical in shaping priorities. By involving diverse stakeholders, the state hopes to draft a vision that is practical, forward-looking, and aligned with the collective will of the people.
The Vision Uttarakhand 2047 document is expected to cover a wide range of sectors including education, healthcare, rural development, environment, energy, employment, digital innovation, and tourism. Officials have highlighted that sustainable growth will be a core theme, ensuring that economic development is balanced with environmental preservation in the Himalayan state.
Our correspondent reports that the initiative has already generated discussion in civic and academic circles. University faculty members have welcomed the opportunity to contribute research-based recommendations. Social organisations have pointed out the need for stronger policies on disaster preparedness and women’s empowerment, while business groups are expected to push for better infrastructure and investment opportunities.
Our correspondent adds that public participation is being seen as both a responsibility and an opportunity. Citizens have been urged to come forward with ideas that can help the state achieve self-reliance and inclusive prosperity by 2047. Officials expressed confidence that collective inputs would strengthen the foundation for implementation and make Vision Uttarakhand 2047 a guiding framework for decades to come.
The government has emphasised that this exercise is not only about planning for the distant future but also about instilling a culture of consultation and cooperation in governance. By actively seeking suggestions from people, the state hopes to set an example of participatory democracy and forward-looking administration.
With the deadline set for mid-October, the coming weeks are expected to see increased awareness drives encouraging citizens to contribute their perspectives. For Uttarakhand, the preparation of Vision 2047 represents both a challenge and an opportunity: to articulate its long-term goals clearly and to mobilise its people toward a shared vision of a developed state.
