Abstract

The article reports that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his Independence Day speech warned Indians that economic development for a nation is unsustainable if it does not benefit the poor. Although Singh's coalition government led by the Congress party has achieved sustained economic growth, 30% of Indians still live below the official poverty line. Singh emphasized the need for water conservation while promising plans for rural irrigation and health care.
