when will India become a developed country and what we can do to help india to become a developed country?

Answer 1

don,t trade youself, make yourself

Answer 2

India has huge potential... but I don't see how it is a developed country.

- The disparity between rich and poor seems to be huge.

- Indians are migrating to the US faster than you can say "information technology". The single largest group in my university's EE and Comp. Sci depts by far were Indian (well, to be fair Indian or Pakistani)

- I'm not sure that India has enough economic and social freedom.

I'm not an expert, but that's what I see.

Once the jobs that companies are NOW exporting to India start getting exported FROM India to some other less developed country- THEN you will know it's become a developed country,

Answer 3

India is a developed and rich country. We do have the modern stuff that other developed countries have. What we do not have is the speard of it. Its not even spread. I am not talking about the wealth but the advanced products.

Consider this an average Indian family has a lot of land and gold but they would never sell it to buy a proper air conditioner to keep em of the heat. They don't realize that they can afford it even if they did they only want property not comfort. Development comes with you wanting comfort.

Indian society tends to save and not spend. Until people start to spend its hard to develop.

Answer 4

I could ask when the USA is going to become a developed country as only 5% of our land is in use. It is relative, India is much better off today then in most of it past. They need to save, invest, and be productive

Answer 5

India is already a developed country

Answer 6

As mentioned by others India is second to none in many fields but the fact remains that we are yet not developed country. As one of the respondents mentioned we are shining, I agree at this point. what I would like to mention is that we all have to work hard towards making India a developed country. We have to put in extra effort to make it so. We have to make our surroundings pollution free, neat and most important is to educate all and inculcate the fact that by just watching and expecting others to do it will not be done we all have to do our share of work for that.

Answer 7

We the people of this great country have a big role in making it developed. Development does not mean becoming rich with a huge forex reserve. All round development include both material and spiritual. We have inherited a great traddition and culture in spirituality. But unfortunately we could not sustain this inheritance b'cos we became more illusioned with material gain. This tendency brought along with it dishonesty, lack of integrity, a false sense of contentment and lack of vision. To make our country developed we must introspect ourselves and take corrective measures to dispel such negative qualities. Once we become sincere in our approach and begin to recover the lost credibility, development is bound to be materialised.

Answer 8

India is shining and it is now envy of the world. It is already a developed country.

Answer 9

India, A Developed Nation by 2020?

Seems like this is on the minds of many Indians. An article in the Financial Express [December 29, 2003] quoted a few famous IIT Bombay graduates on this topic. Excerpt with bold emphasis added follows:

That is the question the Class of ’78 tried to answer after 25 years of passing out of their alma mater - IIT Bombay. The batch, which boasts of corporate chieftains like Nandan Nilekani, president and CEO, Infosys, researchers like Dr Narendra Karmarkar, bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, and even a politician — Manohar Parrikar, chief minister, Goa, narrated their experiences and how they have helped shape the country in their own way. The common theme across the discussions was that India could transition to a developed country in a very short period of time. Some like the chief minister felt the it could happen much before the year 2020. "Governance has to be public-centric," he noted. Mr Nilekani explained that the inherent capital in the country has to be better utilised for higher growth.

Reality Check

Assuming a most optimistic annual growth rate of 10% for Indian GDP for this time frame and accounting for population growth of about 1.5% per annum, translates to quadrupling of per capita income in 17 years. Currently this figure for income is at most US $700. It means that we will have about US $3000 per capita income by the year 2020, if everything goes extremely well.

This will bring us to about Mexico’s current level. That is, if we are very lucky. Is Mexico a developed country today? Ask millions of their natives who cross the Mexico-US borders to seek employment at fairly low wages. (If one wants to follow PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) logic, Mexico too is cheap.)

Moreover, the threshold for definition of “developed nation” is a ever-increasing. It means it will further delay our joining the league of “developed” nations.
What were these IITians Thinking?

[It is my belief that India is wrong to follow a Western model for development, mostly at the urging of its Westernized elites and business leaders. I think it will fail miserably. Instead, it should follow a development path to exploit its own unique potential. Will write about this more later under India directory.]

Have you heard of leaders and elites of other countries making such bold statements about the future without backing them up with facts? I haven’t. How would you feel if someone from, let’s say Uganda, made similar claim. Will you consider her to be a genius or a fool? What do you think when – and I am almost sure that right at this moment this is happening somewhere - some IITian informs his colleagues or fellow-students from developed countries about how India is going to be a developed country by the year 2020, what are those colleagues going to think?

Answer 10

firstly..to all people who say India is shining and already developed, I should say that its not "development" that is making it shine but "growth"
Development includes growth but not entirely growth. It includes Health, Education, Infrastructure etc..(refer to human development index).
India will become developed when its institutions are put in order and people become aware of individual as well as social responsibilities and keep aside the "jugaad" mentality.

Answer 11

we the people india should give stress to

family planning
education
create more employment oppurtunities
should disourage social evils


india will surely become adeveloped country by 2020
