Today India is an underdeveloped country, but its rate of development is very fast. Recently it has been awarded as the third largest growing economy. In the field of science, India made tremendous progress in developing nuclear missiles, space rockets, more with the development of Silicon Valley in Bangalore it has become a I.T. hub. It is planning to send a mission to moon by 2007. India is a member of various international organizations like UN, WTO etc. India believed in the policy of world is family hence signing various treaties with various countries. India is well aware of the environmental aspects .Gandhiji told the people there is a lot on the earth to satisfy one's need but not ones greed. India has launched various project like project TIGER and opened various national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. The famous Asiatic lion are found in India only.

Wide reaching revolutions such as white for milk, green for crops, yellow for oilseed has been successfully implemented.

Now a days India has been facing many challenges in the areas of population, pollution, corruption, illiteracy, unemployment, terrorism and not the least, natural calamities like earthquakes ,floods , draughts, tsunami etc.

Of course taking population positively one can direct it to the greatest man power. Pollution can be tackled by creating awareness in the country about the environment. India ranks 83rd in corruption it can be tackled by giving up ones greed. Illiteracy is the root cause of the majority of problems, social backwardness, gender inequality, female foetocide etc. Many educational schemes have been developed by the government. Natural disaster is the greatest curse to mankind. Of course disaster management teams are prepared by the government. War the greatest enemy of the mankind and the passive war terrorism even worse than that. Indian states are facing such problems. India is negotiating its problems with economically strong countries and finding its way through.

Above all I BOW MY COUNTRY WHERE THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRACY SURVIVES, WHERE THE PEOPLE FEEL SECURE OF THIER LIVES AND PROPERTY.
