Cons
Even though with liberalization n growing IT and BPO revolution,
india is facing the problem of poverty and hunger. India ranks 94th (out of 118 countries researched) in the global hunger index. More than 150,000 framers committed suicide for every 30 minutes. Quality of public services had become pathetic. Health care issues are becoming more dangerous. On one good side of growing economy we have 6 million new phone connections every month then on another side we also have 30,000 villages that have never heard a phone ring even for a single time.
Conclusion
Even if india is on a move it is a resurgent india. India has
secured 43rd place in global competitiveness and would not attract close to $30 billion FDI in one year.
The country has also shifted over it sector and in that we are
moving away from bpo and entering the phase of epo and kpo.
