OVERVIEW
25 Challenges
For India

We've identified five themes for the
overall growth story-and 25 challenges
within them-that need to be addressed,

questions involved. They cover a broad

to the aspirational-and include challenges relating to delivery, to our
quality of life and, indeed, to the very basic issues of
development themselves.
