      Economy India

      Economy - overview:

       India's economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern

       agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a

       multitude of support services. Overpopulation severely handicaps the

       economy and about a quarter of the population is too poor to be able

       to afford an adequate diet. Government controls have been reduced on

       imports and foreign investment, and privatization of domestic output

       has proceeded slowly. The economy has posted an excellent average

       growth rate of 6% since 1990, reducing poverty by about 10

       percentage points. India has large numbers of well-educated people

       skilled in the English language; India is a major exporter of

       software services and software workers; the information technology

       sector leads the strong growth pattern. The World Bank and others

       worry about the continuing public-sector budget deficit, running at

       approximately 10% of GDP in 1997–2002. In 2003 the state-owned

       Indian Bank substantially reduced non-performing loans, attracted

       new customers, and turned a profit. Deep-rooted problems remain,

       notably conflicts among political and cultural groups.
