    Being the 2nd largest country by population and the 7th largest by area, India is blessed with certain assets and has to face certain challenges.
    Assets: – Demographic dividend (India has majority of young population which is beneficial for its growth)
    – Richness in natural resources like coal, jute, thorium,etc.
    – India is covered by the ocean on 3 sides which could strengthen blue economy of the country.
    – India’s cordial relations with its neighboring countries and other far countries as well.
    – Flourished service sector of the country.
    – Our culture and heritage which is helpful in boosting the tourism sector.
    Challenges: – Strategic location that is a threat to internal security of india.
    – Social inequalities in terms of gender, caste, region, religion, etc.
    – Poverty and unemployment.
    – Being a developing nation,India somewhere lags behind in technology.
    – Corruption.
    Thus if we use our assets in the right direction, they would act as key growth drivers of the developing economy of India.

      As India is world’s 7th largest country in the world, which is having a very good physiography and rich biodiversity and also world’s 2nd largest population to work. All these features blessed India with certain assets as –
      – longest constitution
      – Peninsular region – as it is helpful in trade across the countries as well as in exchange of cultures between countries.
      -Natural resources- richness in it makes India self dependent in energy production.
      -Unity in diversity
      – Large population to work
      -Strong army
      – Good rainfall
      Despite having these assets, India is facing some challenges like –
      – Internal security because of the peninsula in the south and himalayas in the north
      – Poverty
      – Unemployment
      – Communal riots
      – Illiteracy
      – Natural disasters in the south
      – Patriarchal society
      Inspite of having challenges, India is growing with the help of –
      – Tourism
      – Natural resources
      – Blue economy
      – Aware youth
      – Developing science and technology
      As India is still a developing country, it is trying it’s very best to be in developed nations, which is not far so. Inspite of these challenges, India is still growing very well and also get recognition at international level as a nation of “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”.

    भारत विश्व के शक्तिशाली सैन्य बलों में से एक हैं तथा भारत विश्व में 3 स्थान पर आता है। भारत के पास कुछ संसाधन और कुछ चुनौतियां हैं _
    संसाधन – भू- आकृति प्रदेशीकरण जैसे _ उत्तरी पर्वत (सुरक्षा की दृष्टि से), प्रायद्वीप पठार ( आर्थिक विकास), विशाल मैदान ( यहां से प्राप्त कंकड , पत्थर जिनसे अवसंरचना का निर्माण ), तट और
    द्वीप( समुंद्र द्वारा रेत का निर्माण ) ।
    _सुगम नदी तंत्र के द्वारा उपजाऊ भूमि में कृषि ।
    _ जैव विविधता ।
    _भारत का सबसे उत्तरी पर्वतीय हिमनद (सियाचिन )जो भारत के लिए सबसे महत्व रखता है सुरक्षा की दृष्टि से ।
    चुनौतियां_ भारत की तटीय सुरक्षा ( 7500 किलोमीटर लंबी द्वीपों सहित)
    _जनसंख्या घनत्व में वृद्धि परंतु विकास में कमी ।
    _ प्राकृतिक संसाधन जैसे_ कोयला , जूट, खनिज की प्रचुर मात्रा के कारण वहा पर औद्योगिक निर्माण के कारण पर्यावरण नुकसान ।
    _डिजिटल इण्डिया के बढ़ते साइबर सुरक्षा का बढ़ता खतरा ।
    यदि हम अपने संसाधनो के प्रति समझ को और विकसित करते है तो भारत का विकास, विकसित देशों के समान गति करने लगेगा ।

    India with holding a 1.3 billion of population and being the world’s largest democracy has successfully marked its position globally . There are certain key factors are associated
    behind this position like-

    1.)India’s Democracy is its biggest strength. Supremacy of constitution prevails here. Every citizen of our country is trying to upheld the integrity and sovereignty of our nation
    and still continuing this process after the 75th year of independence , this makes our country so unique from others.

    2.)On the other side India’s Agriculture is one of the biggest asset of India, still 43% of people is based on Agriculture so almost half of the population is still contributing to our 18% national GDP

    3.)Apart from that India’s MSME Sector is India’s biggest asset , it produces 12 Cr of jobs and almost cover 90% of industries in India , contributes 30% Of GDP and 48% in export.

    4.)India is like a country where youth percentage is maximum in world (UN Report) which produces a stronger base for our country.

    5.) India with holding world 4th Strongest army in the world is undoubtedly is one of the precious asset

    6.)Apart from that INDIA’s old heritage and culture , monuments , various arts along with 40 UNESCO world heritage site makes our country culturally rich and.

    But there are certain challenges also associated with our country-

    1.) Still in INDIA only 35 million of people among 400 million of labor has at least one of their social security.
    India among the lower-middle income countries is spending 2.5% of their GDP for ensuring social security.

    2.)In INDIA still the problem of backward class exist after 75 year of independence we are not able to uplift them in spite of various concession , according to G Rohini Commission report
    only 25% OBC are enjoying the benefit of reservation , so its difficult for us to grow when a percentage of our population is still not out of deprivation

    3.)Regular conflict with neighbouring countries regarding many factors makes problem in various sector which ultimately hampers our growth.

    4.)Apart from that poverty , unemployment , Non-continuation of policies and corruption makes INDIA internally weaker.

    So, overcoming this challenges are not easy but making the people aware about their country can act as a key factor to transform INDIA to world’s strongest democracy from world’s biggest democracy.

  7. PRACHI CHAUDHARY

    Introduction
    India is the 7th largest country in terms of area and lie in south Asia bounded by Arabian sea in the southwest and bay of Bengal in southeast & has a world’s largest democracy.
    ASSETS OF INDIA
    1 Agriculture-In all over the world ,food crises are widely facing by many countries .In India, agriculture sector beaten the pandemic. It is a shock absorber sector.
    2 Tourism-Tourism in India has significant potential considering the rich cultural and historical heritage and highly contributing in India’s foreign reserves.
    3 Himalayas-It acts as a natural barrier. If there were no Himalayas, our country would have been barren like the Thar Desert.

    Despite all these assets India has some challenges too. Such as
    1 Lack of awareness about government polices among masses.
    2 No doubt there has been a lot of Poverty Alleviation Programs designed by government, but there is still a lot to be done.
    3 Inter state disputes can be seen widely. eg-river water dispute, linguistic dispute etc
    4 Patriarchy is a big concern a small example is generally we are using chairman instead of chairperson
    5 Easy & cheap accessible to the internet or gadgets among children is also creating some social concern as they become highly addicted .
    conclusion
    Despite all these challenges and some linguistic and socialistic differences ,India not only promotes but also shows at the international level that is UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

    As India enters it’s 75th year of independence it clearly shows its emergence as a global power. Being the owner of such a huge population ( 2nd largest in the world ) , India is blessed with plenthora of assets and simultaneously has to face certain challenges too.

    ASSETS:
    #Unity in diversity
    #lengthiest constitution
    #agriculture
    #strongest army in the world
    #great source of many natural resources like rubber,jute, copper etc.
    #cordial relationship with neighbouring countries
    #representation of India at global platform as being the part of SAARC, BRICS, BIMS-TEC etc. ( India is the host for recently held 13th summit of BRICS on 09 sept 2021)
    #blessed with majority of young population

    But, there are certain challenges too which India has to combat for surviving in the long run:
    #border disputes
    #imbalanced budget ( growing expenditure and less income)
    #religious conflicts
    #internal security
    #poverty and employment

    So, assets and challenges are a part of same transaction only, but the fact which should be kept in mind is that the overcoming of these challenges would lead India to a great height of success.
