India's recent history has been marked by unprecedented strides in growth, both in terms of the country's economy and population. While India is a relatively large country geographically, its population has been growing at about 1.2% per year. This may not seem like much, but with a 2011 estimated population of over 1.2 billion people, it means that India gains around 14 million new residents annually. When you consider that this figure is likely to increase as economic development continues and infant mortality rates fall, you can see why officials are concerned with the consequences of such rapid growth—especially when the number of available jobs doesn't keep up with the new entrants into the workforce each year.
To combat these challenges, many Indian cities have taken steps to improve their ability to attract foreign investment by increasing their infrastructure capacity and developing educational opportunities for their residents. As a result, cities like Bangalore have become known for being tech hubs where skilled workers can find employment in state-of-the-art facilities run by global firms such as Microsoft or IBM. The country as whole has also seen significant improvement in its GDP rate over time: from just above 3% per year in 1990 to nearly 7% today (about 8% for 2019 alone).
From a developing country in 1947, India has emerged as a global leader and rising superpower in the twenty-first century.
-
India has the world's fifth largest economy and has proven that it is one of the fastest growing countries in the world.
-
Its growth rate is higher than China and many of its neighboring countries.
-
It is a global leader in information technology and telecommunications. In fact, most of the American companies outsourcing their IT services to India because they know that this country excels at IT services. This shows how India has become an important part of globalization process. India has a large number of educated people who work for various multinational companies across different parts of globe thus boosting country's economic condition by earning foreign exchange through their hard earned money in other countries.
-
It is also known as "the world's largest democracy" because all citizens are allowed to vote regardless if they're rich or poor, regardless if they're male or female...etcetera!```
