India's Vision 2047 outlines an ambitious roadmap toward becoming a fully developed nation by its centenary of independence in 2047, emphasising poverty alleviation, economic self-reliance, environmental sustainability, social equity, and technological development. The study looks into how delicate ecosystems, weak governance, and regional political conditions interact within the Eastern Himalayas, specifically Sikkim and parts of northern West Bengal such as Darjeeling. Home to rich biodiversity and key rivers, this area is increasingly exposed to climate threats like repeated flooding and slope failures, worsened due to major construction works. Implementation gaps in policy have repeatedly intensified existing weaknesses here. This study explores regional issues through the lens of India's Vision 2047 plan. By examining academic research papers, policy documents, government reports, and credible news sources, the research attempts to find practical insights for policymaking, offering pathways to strengthen environmental adaptability, readiness for emergencies, and broader public involvement in governance across the Eastern Himalayas and similar regions.
