Major problems of India

1. Major Problems In India India is a fastest developing country in the world. India, with its diversified culture, civilization, natural resources, technology and huge skilled human resources, is also a fastest growing economy in the world. But at the same time there are several problems which is affecting the growth and development of the country.

2. These are the Major Problems of India • Corruption • Illiteracy • Unemployment • Poverty • Pollution • Women empowerment • Terrorism • Caste Based ReservationSystem

3. Corruption • Corruption is one the major problems faced by India. •  There is hardly any office, in both private and public sector, that is untouched from this disease. • Corruption has impacted Indian economy and government so much that it has its existence from the lower level to the highest level in the hierarchy of power.

4. Illiteracy • India has the highest population of illiterate adults at 287 million. • The illiteracy levels from the year 1991 to 2006 have risen to a whopping 63 percent. • 60 lakh children in India are still out-of-school. • India is ranked 123rd out of 135 countries in female literacy rate.

5. Unemployment • Unemployment is a situation where in the person willing to work fails to find a job that earns him/her a living. • Unemployment in India is projected to increase from 17.7 million last year to 17.8 million in 2017 and 18 million next year. • The reasons for this Unemployment scenario are:  high population, defective education system, excessive burden on agriculture, low productivity in agriculture sector combined with lack of alternative opportunities for agricultural worker, unskilled workforce etc.

6. Poverty • At present, 28.5% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line. • Poverty is just like a disease to which many other problems such as crime, low-paced development, etc are associated. • High population growth rate is one of major reasons of poverty in India

7. Pollution • Pollution refers to the contamination of the earth's environment with materials that interfere with human health, quality of life or the natural functioning of the ecosystems. • The rapid growing industrialization is leading lots of environmental issues by its uncontrolled polluted emission. • Pollution is the main reason to lead lots of disease, health issues and long-term livelihood impact.

8. Women empowerment • Women empowerment is the empowerment of women which helps them to take their own decisions by breaking all personal limitations of the society and family. • Women are given a top place in India from the ancient time however they were not given empowerment to participate in all areas.  •  Women are given first priority in India however on the other hand they were badly treated in the family and society.

9. Terrorism • Terrorism is the unlawful act of violence which is used by the terrorists to make people fear. • Terrorism is used by various social organizations, politicians and business industries to achieve their goals in very easy way. • Unemployment has been one of the major causes due to which terrorist groups lure the young generation easily by providing them hoards of easy money.

10. Caste Based Reservation System • Reservation is a supportive action taken by the government for fixed quotas, where some seats in private and government institutes are reserved for socially and educationally backward communities, scheduled castes, and tribes. •  Even if the student has fewer marks he will get an advantage of this policy. That’s why a student from general category and with good marks will not get the benefit of this. • Reservations on the basis of caste and not on the basis of condition are bad and unacceptable. Fair and just reservations to uplift the people with poor conditions of life, those who don’t have meals to eat, clothes to wear and no home to live in.
