Question

With reference to the ‘ Sapta Dhara ’ development strategy announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day 2026, the concept was presented by drawing an analogy with which ancient Indian concept?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Sapta Sindhu. Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the ‘Sapta Dhara’ development strategy from the Red Fort in New Delhi on 15 August 2026 during the 80th Independence Day celebrations. ‘Sapta Dhara’ means ‘Seven Streams of Strength’ and identifies seven areas considered crucial for accelerating India’s national development. The seven streams under Sapta Dhara are manufacturing, agriculture, technology, Gati Shakti, defence, green economy and soft power. The Sapta Dhara framework is linked with the broader national objective of achieving Viksit Bharat, or a developed India. Prime Minister Modi drew an analogy between Sapta Dhara and the ancient concept of Sapta Sindhu, describing the seven streams as a new current of national strength. The framework sets an ambition to achieve within the next 5–7 years what India could not achieve during the previous 5–7 decades through the combined strength of the seven streams. Sapta Dhara promotes a holistic and concurrent approach to development, combining economic production, agriculture, technology, infrastructure, defence, environmental sustainability and international cultural influence. The strategy views national development as a multidimensional process, rather than measuring progress through a single economic indicator, with the ultimate objective of accelerating India's transition towards a developed nation.
