TV2035
In brief, this document captures the needs and aspirations of Indians in the year 2035 and enunciates them in the form of 12 prerogatives – 6 individual and 6 collective.  A set of 10 Grand Challenges have also been identified. Towards achieving these prerogatives, a range of technologies at different stages of evolution have been identified as enablers in this context. This document is also being followed by technology road maps of 12 key sectors. A brief of these road maps is captured as “Technoscape” in the document. You may access the document at  (TV 2035 – Document link)
