    Other sectors like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals,biotechnology, nanotechnology, telecommunication,shipbuilding, aviation and tourism are showing strongpotentials with higher growth rates.

    India followed a socialist-inspired approach for most ofits independent history, with strict government controloverprivate sectorparticipation, foreign trade, andforeign direct investment. However, since the early1990s, India has gradually opened up its markets

    through economic reforms by reducing governmentcontrols on foreign trade and investment.

    Strengths

    The World Bank classifies India as a low-income economy. India's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, handicrafts,

    textile, manufacturing, and a multitude of services. Although two-thirds of the Indian workforce still earn their livelihood

    directly or indirectly through agriculture, services are a growingsector and play an increasingly important role of India's economy.

    The advent of the digital age, and the large number of young andeducated populace fluent in English, is gradually transforming Indiaas an important 'back office' destination for global outsourcing ofcustomer services and technical support.

    India is a major exporter of highly-skilled workers in software andfinancial services, and software engineering
