 India is emerging as one of the economic giants of the world, and is gaining international influence and global leadership as the world's biggest democracy with a population of over 1.2 billion people. The way India performs will have far-reaching consequences on whether the economic awakening of the country, which began more than two decades ago, can be a good model to be emulated by other developing countries. This book is the product of nearly two years of research conducted by the Asia Competitiveness Institute and is a collection of policy papers and data-sets for the 35 states and federal territories of India. The methodology used covers an approach which goes beyond ranking. Researchers conducted a policy simulation on how each state or federal territory can improve its competitiveness, which is a compelling value-added proposition enabling policymakers to identify relative strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities, guiding them to prioritise areas in crafting policies and development strategies.
