AS INDIA NEARS its 100th year of Independence in 2047, we stand at a crucial juncture in our nation’s journey. The concept of ‘health for all’ has evolved far beyond traditional healthcare, now encompassing a holistic vision that touches every aspect of our citizens’ lives—from the food on our plates to the air we breathe, from the jobs we hold to the technologies we use.
This vision encompasses a range of innovations—from artificial intelligence (AI)-driven healthcare to sustainable farming practices, the development of climate-resilient crops, and the establishment of rural health tech centres. These advancements strive to ensure that quality healthcare and nutrition are accessible and affordable for all Indians, regardless of their location or economic status.
GROUND-UP WELLNESS
The agricultural sector of 2047 is on the brink of a major transformation, driven by innovative companies and research institutions. Tech innovators are developing AI and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions tailored to India’s unique landscape, optimising resource usage, and helping farmers produce more nutritious crops. AI algorithms account for India’s varied agricultural zones, ranging from the arid region of Rajasthan to the fertile plains of Punjab. Advanced IoT devices, designed for areas with limited connectivity, use mesh networks to provide real-time data and adaptive recommendations.
