The Indian economy ranks third in the list of countries all over the world based on the power of purchasing. It has been forecast by the global bank of investment, Goldman Sachs that by 2035 India will become one of the greatest economies of the world ranking only third after United States of America and China.
To reach the present status of growth the Indian economy had to cross a number of hurdles. In recent times, the finance minister has projected a growth rate of 9 %, however, he has also mentioned a number of challenges that the Economy of India will face in order to secure a top position among the leading economies.
The first and foremost factor that poses a threat to the Economic development of the India is its ever-increasing population. The rate of growth of a country is highly dependent on the population and the well-being of the people. Due to increased population, the infrastructure necessary for growth cannot be installed as a result the economy fails to prosper. Another factor that is the biggest hindrance of growth is poverty in India. India is a nation where more than 30 percentage of the population resides below the poverty line. As such, the country cannot utilize the human capitals that are unskilled due to lack of education. With poverty a related factor, which is illiteracy comes to the forefront and this is a major cause of the backwardness of any nation.
Unemployment is one of the primary factors that impede development. As the educated Indian youth are not able to land a job, the income of the nation does not increase. More unemployment implies that production is not increasing and as production does not rise, the GDP of India fails to increase. Finally, the gap between the pace of rural development and urban development results in slower growth of the nation as a whole.
