Visioning Exercise

CII took India@75 as a grassroots initiative and converted it into a vision for our country shared by people from all geographies and all walks of life.

A participatory approach to visioning was kicked off under the leadership of CII in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group and Young Indians (Yi). This was done through:-

  • Sensitization sessions led by Prof. Prahalad across 7 metros involving interactions with Chief Ministers, leaders of political parties, IAS leadership, CII leadership and students;
  • 123 workshops and 984 interviews conductions across the country covering the voices of approximately 5500 people;
  • Vision documents for 17 states across India; exercise completed for 21 states
  • District Development Plans for 18 districts in Karnataka, AP, Kerala, TN and MP

Vision Document

Visioning exercise helped transform India@75 into the “People’s Agenda”. The core message was loud and clear. Indians want to imagine a new India; and not just a minor tweaking of the India they see around them. They want an India that is modern, socially equitable, fair and transparent. They want an India full of opportunities. They want to dream and want to work hard to make it a reality.

Ten broad areas were clubbed into following seven themes of the Vision Document

Under each theme, 4-5 statements have emerged as the elements of a vision. These statements represent the collective “Voice of India”. True to the spirit of India@75, these statements capture the aspirations which exceed present
level of resources and require innovation and development of next practices.
