- <p>The Arthashastra, authored by profound strategist, economist and philosopher Kautilya (popularly known as<br>Chanakya), is one of the most significant and noteworthy text that the Indian history and tradition has ever<br>witnessed. It is one of the most prominent vintage text that concerns with the fields of politics, administration,<br>economics and philosophy. The insights from the Arthashastra effortlessly withstands the test of time and<br>haven’t lost their relevance till day, with its lesson being implemented, still forges excellence. Modern<br>economies from across the world faces several bottlenecks in their policies and it is a prominent challenge to<br>cut-off the perfect balance of achieving fast-paced development but simultaneously accompanied by<br>sustainability. The study converges upon the prominent lessons drawn explicitly from the Arthashastra itself,<br>specifically focusing upon the economic aspects, from which inspiration can be drawn to craft contemporary<br>and modern economic policy frameworks so as to facilitate the achievement of the global sustainable<br>development goals in the domestic level. The chief area of focus lies upon the aspects concerning efficient<br>financial decentralization, efficient market control, ideal interest framework, advocation of an ethical and<br>virtuous financial system and efficient revenue mobilization. These principles incorporated in the<br>Arthashastra provides a vivid blueprint of ideal economic policy frameworks, which if implemented has<br>immense potential to facilitate and fuel the progression towards the attainment of Sustainable development<br>Goals (SDGs) and crave a smooth pathway to simultaneously achieve the Indian dream of Viksit Bharat<br>fuelled by Self-reliance (Atmanirbharta). Thus, this study makes an attempt to evaluate the lessons from the<br>Arthashastra and their suitability of being implemented in a modern economic framework to facilitate the<br>achievement of Atmanirbhar Bharat and SDGs.</p>
