Abstract The vision of Viksit Bharat 2027 reflects India’s aspiration to emerge as a developed, inclusive, and globally competitive nation by 2027. A key pillar of this vision is the active participation of young citizens, who constitute nearly 65% of the country’s population (Government of India, 2021). In today’s digital era, digital literacy has become an essential competency not only for economic advancement but also for social inclusion and democratic participation. It enables individuals to access, analyse, evaluate, create, and effectively communicate information using digital technologies. This study examines the significance of digital literacy in empowering youth to play a meaningful role in advancing the national development agenda of Viksit Bharat 2027. By analysing policy initiatives, educational achievements, and socio-economic indicators, the research assesses how strengthening digital skills among young people can reduce the digital divide, expand employment prospects, and promote inclusive growth. The findings indicate that well-designed digital literacy initiatives positively impact youth employability, civic engagement, and entrepreneurial development. The study concludes with strategic recommendations to enhance digital literacy frameworks, improve digital infrastructure access, and embed digital skill development more deeply within educational policies.
