Viksit Bharat @2047: A Competency Framework for Future-Ready Civil Engineers

Author(s) Kosygin Leishangthem
Country India
Abstract The Speedy transformation of the construction and infrastructure sector through digitalization, sustainability imperatives, and emerging technologies is transforming the role of civil engineers in India's path to becoming a developed nation by 2047. This study explores the future skills and proposed a competency mapping framework for civil engineers along with smart and sustainable infrastructure development, and the demand for technologies like Building Information Modelling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins along with green construction practices and climate-resilient design. The application of these emerging tools and methodologies calls for a review of conventional civil engineering curricula to develop a workforce capable of managing complex data-driven projects and building resilient infrastructure [1].
It highlights significant gaps between current academic curricula and industry requirements and underscores the importance of incorporating interdisciplinarity, digital literacy, and sustainability-focused thinking in civil engineering education[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Based on three domains (technical skills, professional skills, and behavioural skills) as well as insights from industry trends, policy directions, and skill development initiatives in India, a competency mapping model is developed to prepare future civil engineers with the necessary skills for the complex and multidimensional challenges of large infrastructure projects as well as sustainable development practices[7] [8][9] [10] [11].
The paper also emphasizes the need for continuous upskilling, industry–academia collaboration, and outcome-based education for a future-ready workforce and highlights the shift from civil engineers as traditional practitioners to innovators addressing complex infrastructure challenges[12] [13][14] [15]. The proposed framework is meant to be a compass for educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to harmonize talent development strategies with national priorities, which eventually will lead to a robust, skilled, and future-oriented civil engineering workforce that will help realize the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 [9] [16], [17].
