Introduction: A Nuclear Vision for Viksit Bharat@2047 As India marches toward its ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, energy security stands as a pivotal pillar in the vision of Viksit Bharat . Amid the global climate crisis and rising energy demands, nuclear power has re-emerged as a compelling solution. India’s commitment to achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 is both visionary and necessary—but achieving this requires a strategic shift in policy, participation, and international cooperation. While India’s nuclear energy sector has traditionally been a tightly controlled domain under government monopoly—primarily led by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) —it is now imperative to welcome private sector investments and foreign partnerships.

The Evolution and Impact of Blockchain Technology Introduction Blockchain technology is redefining the way digital transactions are recorded, verified, and secured. It is a decentralized, distributed ledger system initially introduced with Bitcoin in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. This innovative technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability, making it one of the most disruptive innovations in the digital era.
