This document summarizes India's development since independence across several areas: Reservation based on caste has had both adverse effects by benefiting some undeserving people over deserving ones, while initiatives like Make in India have brought foreign investment and increased GDP by encouraging manufacturing. Infrastructure development through public-private partnerships has attracted foreign investors to sectors like railways, roads, airports and power. However, India still faces challenges around resource processing and automotive safety standards, as seen in some vehicles failing crash tests, while air pollution from vehicles in cities like Kolkata remains a concern despite lower overall numbers compared to Western nations.

INDIA: Retrospect and Prospect

2. INTRODUCTION-
• After nehru’s India, shastri’s India, and indira’s India it is now modi’s India.
Since independence India has gone through many changes like-
- Reservation on caste system
- Religion based politics
- Make in India
- Defense indigenization
- terrorism
- ISRO achievements
- Infrastructure
Into which some have adverse effect on the society while
some are promising.

3. Reservation in India on the basis of
caste
• The candidate who is more worthy based on
merit should get the opportunity irrespective
of his caste,creed and religion.
• Since economic status is not a test
used,undeserving people gain the advantage
and deserving one are still without a
significant change in their situation
• “Do we need talent or reservation to build our
country?”.

4. Make in India
• Make in India is an initiative of the Government of India to
encourage Multinational and domestic companies to
manufacture their products in India. It was launched by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on 25 September 2014.
• Brings FDI to our country
• Increases GDP of our country
• Helps in development of our country
• Increases employability.
• Improves our foreign relations.

5. AIR POLLUTION DUE TO
AUTOMOBILES IN KOLKATA
• NEERI carried out a survey in Kolkata to collect
information on the level of CO pollution
City Maximum 1 hr values – ppm
London 58
Chicago 46
Los Angeles 43
Washington 41
New York 27
Kolkata 35
• The Kolkata data shows that although the number of
vehicles in Indian cities is smaller compared to western
cities, yet the intensity of pollution caused by them is
apparently the same, if not more.

6. AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY
•Failure of Indian vehicles in NCAP tests. Some vehicles like Datsun Go were deeemed
unfit for use.
•Guwahati High Court barred new models from being sold claiming it was unsafe for
hilly regions.
•Compromising “Quality Over Price” tradition is on the downturn.

7. Infrastructure
• Infrastructure is basic supporting (physical
and organizational) structures needed for the operation
of a economy to function.
• Govt. is working in PPP mode to develop infrastructure
which attracts foreign investors.
• Foreign investment helps economy to grow.
• Sectors involved
 Railway
 Roads
 Airport
 Power
 Telecom

8. Resources
• They are the source or supply from which benefit
is produced.
• Resources are the major factors which helps a
nation to grow.
• India is rich in resources but there is lack of
facilities to process them which leads to value
subtraction of our resources.
• Nowadays, we are understanding the importance
of value addition to resources and we are
working on it.
