The 10 top challenges for India

India could be 40 times bigger by 2050, and may also have the potential to be larger than the US by that time. To achieve this, however, India needs to implement many changes. These are the findings of a global research report on ‘Ten Things for India to Achieve its 2050 Potential’, brought out by Jim O’Neill, Head Global Research at Goldman Sachs, and Tushar Poddar, V-P Research, Asia Economic Research Team at Goldman Sachs India. The reports lists a number of things for India to do, such as improving its governance, controlling inflation, introducing credible fiscal policy, liberalising financial markets and increasing trade with its neighbours. “Delivery of all these and more would ensure strong, persistent, medium-to-long-term growth, allowing India to reach its amazing potential,” it says. Here are the 10 top challenges for India:

1) Improve governance
Without better governance, delivery systems and effective implementation, India will find it difficult to educate its citizens, build its infrastructure, increase agricultural productivity and ensure that the fruits of economic growth are well established. Governance problems stem from the increasing inability of the government and public institutions to deliver public services in the face of rising expectations. A large gap between physical access to services and the quality of services provided is leading to a citizen satisfaction gap.
