# Modi unveils Saptadhara reform plan for Viksit Bharat 2026-08-15T06:55:36+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 80th Independence Day address from the Red Fort, announced the 'Saptadhara' framework, seven streams of strength to drive India toward a developed nation by 2047. Drawing a parallel with the ancient 'Sapta Sindhu' rivers, Modi called for sweeping changes in manufacturing, agriculture, technology, infrastructure, defence, green and blue economies, and India's global soft power. The seven pillars include manufacturing power with zero-defect goals, agriculture and food processing for global food leadership, technology and innovation, Gati Shakti for high-speed connectivity, defence self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar Defence), green and blue economies, and expanding India's soft power through trade and cultural influence. Modi said these reforms must achieve in 5-7 years what was missed in the last 5-7 decades. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: India, Narendra Modi, Saptadhara, Viksit Bharat Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pm-modi-unveils-saptadhara-reforms-for-viksit-bharat/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
