The World Order and the India Moment

It is now clear that since the pandemic and especially after it, the world is not the same place anymore. A lot many political, social and economic changes have been taking place across the globe. 

Poor countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America are now refusing to toe the line of the west on the Russia Ukraine war. For them, food and energy supplies are more important than any ideological battles the west wants to fight.  India, while gradually taking the leadership of the global south is also developing its economy.

Technological advancement: India has emerged as a major global player in the technology sector. The country is home to several major IT firms and has made significant strides in the development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other cutting-edge technologies. In addition, India has a vibrant start-up ecosystem, with a growing number of tech start-ups attracting funding from investors around the world.

Education: India has made significant progress in the field of education. The country has one of the largest education systems in the world, with over 360 million students enrolled in schools and colleges. In recent years, India has made major investments in education, with a particular focus on improving access to education for girls and marginalized communities. As a result, the country's literacy rate has increased significantly, and the number of children attending school has also increased.

Healthcare: India has also made significant progress in improving its healthcare system. The country has a vast network of public and private hospitals, clinics, and health centers, and has made significant investments in medical research and development. In addition, India has implemented several major healthcare initiatives, such as the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which aims to provide healthcare coverage to millions of low-income households across the country.

Infrastructure development: India has also made significant progress in infrastructure development in recent years. The country has launched several major projects, such as the Smart Cities Mission and the Bharat Mala Pariyojana, which aim to modernize and upgrade India's infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and airports.

Renewable energy: India has made significant progress in the field of renewable energy. The country is now the world's third-largest producer of renewable energy, with a particular focus on solar power. India has set a target of generating 175 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2022 and is well on its way to achieving this goal.

India’s development seems to have gathered pace in last year or so. All round development is now the mantra of the current government. 

A new benchmark has been set by this government which opposition parties are going to find difficult to cross. The bar has been set quite high. Thus, India seems to be taking the right steps to grow its economy. Many prominent industrialists have been talking frankly about how India is being unshackled. A strong government is needed to take difficult decisions and India has got it this time.

The people voted the Modi led BJP government for a second term, which seems to be delivering on all the promises made, and more. A rare phenomenon indeed in India.
