The Jurisprudence of Sustainability: Integrating Technological Sovereignty and ESG Mandates in India’s 2047 Developmental Vision

This research paper examines the legal and regulatory architecture necessary to achieve sustainable development within the framework of India’s "Viksit Bharat" 2047 vision. Drawing from a comprehensive interdisciplinary discourse, the paper analyses the legal imperatives of Artificial Intelligence (AI) sovereignty, the shift toward mandatory Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance in the corporate and banking sectors, and the integration of international treaties specifically the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework into domestic law. Furthermore, it explores the intersection of indigenous ecological wisdom, specifically Sanatan philosophy, with modern environmental jurisprudence to propose a culturally grounded legal framework. Ultimately, the study concludes that a robust legal framework must move beyond symbolic gestures toward enforceable standards that prioritise digital privacy, disaster resilience, and intergenerational equity through sovereign technological deployment.
