Inclusive Growth in India: Issues and Challenges

The amazing growth of India's gross domestic product (GDP) has eclipsed the growing gaps in absolute and relative inequality, revealing two sides of the country. On the one hand, India is a bright country that is gaining media and international attention as it competes globally and benefits from economies of scale, globalization, and technological advancement. However, there is a more significant but less obvious suffering in India, where a sizable portion of the populace still lives in poverty and in peril. These two sides reflect the hope and misery of India. Promoting inclusive development and striking a balance between these two factors will be the region's largest task in the next years. Examining the potential and challenges of accomplishing this kind of growth in India is the aim of this study.
