  1. India a land of knowledge India is a land of plenty Arts - No Comments » - Posted on May, 28 at 8:22 pm India is a land of plenty. With such diverse cultures India is arguably one of the richest as far as art forms are concerned. Culturally vibrant, India allures one and all.

By 2025, 42.5 percent of the population will be urban. • Even though the percentage of the population living in urban areas is quite small compared to developed countries these people’s presence is causing a lot of problems: unemployment and underemployment, and shortage of basic amenities like water supply, sanitation, sewerage, and electricity.

  3.

Many don’t get employment throughout the year and commute between urban and rural areas. After the harvest, they migrate to urban areas for a few months before the rainy season.
