performance remained below expectations. India however
managed to attract FDIs in various sectors with Make in India, Smart
Cities, Digital India getting a big boost. From signing of Civil Nuclear
deals to negotiations at the Paris Agreement, India ensured it makes
it to global headlines. With GDP growth of more than 7 percent it
became the fastest growing big economy overpassing its Asian rival
China. It played a major role in evacuation efforts in Yemen and relief
and rehabilitation efforts during the Nepal Earthquake. It suffered the
impacts of climate change with insufficient monsoons that continued
the rural distress and excessive rainfall in the coastal areas that
brought cities like Kolkata, Chennai to standstill.
Retrospection - #ChennaiFloods
The recent rains in south India created havoc in Tamil Nadu and Andhra. Overflow from
arterial rivers flooded Chennai and brought it to a standstill. Essential Commodities
including milk, water vegetables faced shortage of supply as transportation was
completely cut off due to water logging and prices of vegetables sky rocketed.

The government offers 12 subsidised cylinders to every household with an LPG connection in a year, which costs the exchequer Rs 40,000 crore annually. If this number is brought down to nine or even six per household, then, according to experts, will save the government Rs 8,000 crore (according to estimates based on fuel prices in 2013-14).
India had imported 189.43 million tonnes of crude oil in 2014-15 for Rs 6.87 lakh crore. This fiscal, the imports are projected at 188.23 million tonnes, almost the same level as last year. The successful rollout of the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric)-India scheme will result in an annual savings worth Rs 60,000 crore on India's oil import bill by 2020.
India signed a Rs 98,000 crore deal with Japan which includes key areas of defence and nuclear energy along with building of India's first bullet train network between Mumbai – Ahmedabad.
