Hey @chahatsagarmain, I've started efforts at #11596. Seems like there's a lot to this upgrade. I'm happy to let you take over if you're interested in this!

@anishasthana You can work on this , I am working on upgrading the express version right now .

The latest version of React is 19.0.0

for upgrading the React version 16 to 19 will bring performance improvements,concurrent rendering features, and better developer tools. we have take a some migration step to upgrad the version .

In my opinion we should break this issue up into smaller issues (one per major version) and follow up that way -- there seem to be a ton of breaking changes. @HumairAK can you do that? I don't seem to have the ability to edit existing issues.

Also, @chahatsagarmain if you have familiarity with React I'm happy for you to own it. I spent a while working on it and the complexity of the upgrade (in addition to my lack of recent experience with React) means it will take a while.
