Nutrition and Developed India 2047: Nursing the Future

Abstract

Nutrition is the foundation of human development and national progress. In India’s vision of becoming a Developed Nation by 2047, nutrition emerges as a vital driver of health, productivity, and economic growth. This paper explores the significance of nutrition from a Home Science perspective, focusing on its role in improving community health, empowering women, enhancing food security, and supporting sustainable development. It reviews national initiatives such as Poshan Abhiyaan, Mid-Day Meal Scheme, National Food Security Act, and Eat Right India, and discusses innovations in nutrition technology, policy integration, and behavioural change communication. The study concludes that a nutritionally secure population is essential for realizing the Viksit Bharat @ 2047 goals of inclusivity, sustainability, and resilience.
