India's Economic Success

In every region of the world there are culture and social differences

that set

countries apart. Each with an economic, social and political outlooks

on the

future that determine the way people live. These endless arrays, even

occur in

different parts of a particular of every country including one of the

worlds

most diverse, India.

India is separated into 25 states and 7 territories which create 16

major

languages and 1,000 minor languages and dialects. This diversity in

language

creates somewhat of a barrier for India to become one of the foremost

leaders in

world because of the lack of unity. Although, in the past, the India

governmenthas taken steps to correct this matter with promoting Hindi as the

national

language. However, Indians who cannot speak Hindi frowned upon this

notion.

They believed the best jobs would go to Indians who spoke Hindi and

with their

pride of their regional languages kept them from accepting this unity,

thus

government decided against this idea. Now, the India government

recognizes 13

regional languages as official languages. Children in schools learn

Hindi as

their second language, with English being used primary in higher

education.

Education has become the most recognizable forms of advancing one's

country,

India has exploded in schools and enrollment in these schools. As we

can see by

page 2, both chart's, the difference in a little more then 10 years is

considerable. Both school enrollment and the number of educational

institutions

have increased by an average of 63%, however do not get fooled by these

numbers.

The Indian's school system are extremely overcrowded and many children

drop out

to get a job to help support their families.

This problem with India's educational system falls in two parts, the

first being

that children who do drop out to find a job, is part of the social

problem that

India has been trying to correct. The Indian government started this

quest to

eliminate child labor in 1986 with a whole section in the United

Nations'



convention on the Rights of the Child. Additionally, in 1986 they

passed the

Child Labor Act that intended to ban the employment of children in

occupations

that are considered hazardous and to regulate conditions of work for

children

employed in occupations where child labor is not actually banned.

However, as

we can see by the summery of this act it does not make the necessary

changes to

the social conditions in which children have to work to ensure that the

family

has money.

The second problem with the educational system in India is the

overcrowding.

However this occurrence has more to do with the situation of population

increasing steadily over the past 20 years. As we can see by the 1st

page the

population will enter into the billions by the year 2001, which will

also have adirect impact on the density of India. If the figures for the year

2001 are

correct the density per sq. km should be around 422 which close to

twice as

crowed in 1991. This in turn again will have a direct effect on the

overcrowding of schools unless the Indian government starts to build

more

schools.

As we can see the educational system has its flaws not to mention the

fact that

most of the population lives in the rural area of India, which we can

see on

page 1, where modern development like schools are very few in number in

the

urban area. These alterations of the system must come from the top

i.e. the

government, however, they have gone through many changes themselves.

In the

past year the Indian government elected their new prime minister H.D.

Deve Gowda.

One of the main goals of prime minister Gowda is to carry on the

economic

reforms and increasing social spending to the lower and middle class.

This

would included India becoming more open to global investment and

building uprelations with almost all countries especially their neighbors Pakistan

and

China. Additionally, this would included more government allocation of

funds

including medical care, and other social reforms.

As we just illustrated the Indian government is in directed command of

India's



future in turns of economic development since all new reforms come from

the

prime minister Gowda. Another step within the government that has

aided India

in becoming an economic power is the time period which it takes to

create new

regulations and laws. In the past it was a few years now it is a few

weeks. As

we can see by page 3, these reforms by the government has been taking

its effect

because of the increase trend of these numbers.

The difference from 1981 to 1991 is staggering which is especially

shown in both

charts. In these past ten years all aspects of the Indian economy has

nearly

tripled in number and size. This is in part again from the government

forcing

economic changes but also in part from the expanding wealth of India.

The

problem of India is that the poverty is a high factor however thiscountry has a

large GNP. Although this value can not be compared to America since

because if

its large population they have one of the lowest per capita GNP's.

This low

ranking is strictly why the India is still a developing country.

The India economy is split up into nine basic parts with the four on

page three

being the main ingredients. The main one is considered to be

agriculture since

it provides the nation with the third of its income. This economy also

has been

increasing and less imports are coming into India because of improved

farming

techniques, with in turn has enlarged the economy. Service is another

economic

activity however, because of huge rural population this less important

in India.

Although, due to the expanding population all over India this has

become more

important in the past 10 years as seen in the charts on page 3.

Manufacturing also has become a leader in expansion in India. This is

in part

from the gaining of Independence in which India received from Britain

in the1950's. Thus India became more free to pursue, and have control their

own

manufacturing which in turn gain them their own economy.

India's economic success as a country is strictly from gaining

independence

India. However, just like ever developing country India has had

trouble in the



social aspect. In the upcoming years this corrections will have to be

addressed

since the India economy is expanding at an idea rate however, the social

conditions are staying somewhat behind of other countries.
