India. We say the future is India"

4. Imagine what India would look like in
another 35 years, that is, in 2050?

5. Could it be the world's most powerful
nation?
Or the world leader in the fields of
science, technology and medicine?
Or home to the most passionate,driven and
successful entrepreneurs?
LET'S FIND OUT!

6. It is expected that by 2050, India will overtake
China to top the list of the most populous countries
and these countries will represent about 50% of the
total population.

7. This means that India would have to stretch its
already insufficient resources to fight poverty,
hunger, illiteracy and disease to support all the
needs of the rising population.

8. Women will take the lead in the workforce by the
half-century. Their presence will increase steadily
in traditionally male-dominated fields such as
engineering and the corporate sector.

9. With more and more people working towards educating
the girl child, there would be no difference between
a man and a woman by the middle of the century.
A woman would be just as valuable as a man, and
gender-based division of labour and female
infanticide would be a thing of the past!

10. India could turn into a green nation if its cities
adopt a sustainable, renewable-energy-based economy.
The use of solar energy and wind energy,
alternatives to plastics and raising awareness about
eco-friendly living must be prioritised to achieve
this goal.

11. Newspapers and magazines would disappear with
massive advancement in technology. Every child,
youngster, parent and grandparent would be hi-tech
and everything from education to grocery shopping
would be computerised.

12. China will overtake the US to become the world's
largest economy by 2020, which in turn will be
overtaken by India in 2050, according to the Wealth
Report by Knight Frank & Citi Private Bank.

13. The wealth report says Mumbai and New Delhi will
rank among the top 20 global cities in the next
decade in terms of economic activity, political
power, quality of life, and knowledge and influence.
There will also be a steep rise in the number of
entrepreneurs and start-ups as more and more
youngsters have turned to being their own bosses as
opposed to working for/under a firm.

14. Yes there will be challenges!
But let's do our very best to realise the dream
of making India THE future...
... a nation that drives change in the world
and one that stands taller than the Himalayas
in all its pride and glory.
JAI HIND!

15. Thanks for being a great
audience!
