20 charts illustrating India's development journey since independence

On August 15th, during India's 76th Independence Day celebrations, Prime Minister Modi addressed the nation from the Red Fort. He declared India's aim to become a developed nation within 25 years, outlining policies to support domestic production in electricity, defense, and digital technologies. He also criticized corruption and cronyism within government departments, stating that India is entering a crucial anti-corruption phase and urging citizen support in combating this issue. The Times of India presented a visual representation of India's 75-year development journey through 20 charts. Largest Democracy India, with 912 million eligible voters, is the world's largest democracy. Approximately 69% of the eligible population registered to vote, with 67% exercising their franchise in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, compared to 45.67% in 1951. Sixth Largest Economy Since independence, India has overcome immense challenges to become the world's sixth-largest economy, with a size of $3.17 trillion, following the US, China, Japan, Germany, and the UK. Independence itself marked a significant turning point in India's economic history. Since 1947, its per capita income has increased 500-fold. Exports as a Major Growth Driver India exported only $1.27 billion worth of goods and services in 1950-51. Growth remained stagnant for the next few decades due to stringent policy regimes. In recent years, India has opened its economy to the world—particularly after the implementation of the government's liberalization, privatization, and globalization (LPG) policies introduced in 1991. Significant Increase in Foreign Exchange Reserves Despite recent depletion, India's foreign exchange reserves remain the world's fourth largest. In 1951-52, reserves stood at only $1.82 billion, remaining stagnant amidst the economic growth challenges following independence. 500% Increase in Food Production To comprehensively boost the rural economy, India's food production has increased 500% since independence. Although India is primarily an agrarian economy, with 85% of its population residing in villages and dependent on agriculture, the country was not self-sufficient in food. Frequent famines resulted in not only insufficient but also uncertain food supplies. Well-Developed National Highway Network The government has made significant strides in building a comprehensive highway network and continues to upgrade it. Highway construction increased sevenfold from 1950-51 to 2021-22. The annual construction rate of four-lane, six-lane, and eight-lane National Highways (NHs) has increased by over 300% in the past seven years. Growth in the Power Sector India has successfully transitioned into a power-surplus nation, with a total installed capacity of 370,106 GWh. At the time of independence, the total installed capacity was 1,362 GWh. Since then, ensuring electricity supply to almost all houses in the country has been a long journey. On April 28, 2018, the government declared that all census villages were electrified. The last village to be electrified was Leisan village in Manipur. Surge in Registered Motor Vehicles The number of registered motor vehicles has surged from just 300,000 in 1951 to nearly 300 million in 2019. This increase indicates improved accessibility and quality of transportation for citizens. Over the past decade, India's total registered motor vehicles have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 9.91%. Third Largest Domestic Aviation Market As India celebrates Independence Day, the government released data showcasing the increase in passenger traffic at the country's airports, witnessing a remarkable 30-fold increase over 40 years. Last year, India became the world's third-largest domestic aviation market. Leading Global Milk Production India ranks first in global milk production, accounting for 23% of the world's output. Over the past three years, India's milk production has more than tripled, increasing from 17 million tons in 1950-51 to 209.96 million tons in 2020-21. Third Largest Egg Producer India is the world's third-largest egg producer. The country's egg production has increased from 1.83 billion in 1950-51 to 122.11 billion in 2020-21. During the same period, per capita egg supply also jumped from 5 to 90 per year. 75% Literacy Rate When India gained independence from British rule, it was left with a largely illiterate population. In 1950, only two out of ten Indians were literate. Despite India's overall literacy rate being very low, slightly above 18%, female literacy was even lower at 8.86%. By 2022, this has almost reversed. From an 18.3% literacy rate in 1951 to 74.4% in 2018, India has made significant progress in building a well-educated nation. Data shows girls surpassing boys in primary education. Higher Education India has 1,043 universities and over 42,000 colleges for its ambitious youth. In 1950, India had only 27 universities and 578 colleges. According to government data, student enrollment increased by 11.4% from 2015-16 to 2019-20. During the same period, female higher education enrollment increased by 18.2%. Expanded Scope of Medical Education Similar to primary and secondary education, the scope of medical education has also expanded to accommodate more students and meet the country's growing healthcare needs. In 1950, India had a total of 28 medical colleges, with negligible private sector participation. However, the number of medical colleges has steadily increased, particularly since the latter decades of the last century, including many in the private sector. Doctor-to-Population Ratio Since 1951, the number of doctors in India has significantly increased—from just over 61,000 to over 1.3 million today, coinciding with population growth and the commissioning of more medical colleges. In addition to allopathic doctors, another 565,000 rural medical practitioners provide valuable services, often in remote areas with limited medical facilities. Schools The number of schools has increased more than tenfold since independence—from 140,000 in 1947 to over 1.5 million today. Swachch Bharat Mission According to the government, with India's Swachch Bharat Mission in full swing, the country achieved its goal of 100% rural sanitation coverage well before the 75th Independence Day. Data shows that in 1981, rural sanitation coverage (percentage of population with toilets inside/attached to their houses) was only 1%. Decline in Infant Mortality Rate India's infant mortality rate (IMR) has significantly decreased over the past 75 years. The IMR has reduced from 146 per 1,000 live births in 1951 to 30 per 1,000 live births in 2019. Doubled Life Expectancy In 1951, the average life expectancy for Indian men was 37.2 years. Now it is 68.2 years. For women, it was 36.2 years and is now 70.7 years. In fact, an average Indian woman can now expect to live a few years longer than the average man.

Stephens Convention Center, Chicago, USA Exhibition Cycle: Annual Organizer: Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) Exhibition Organizer: Shandong Zhenghe International Exhibition Co., Ltd. Exhibition Introduction PLMA’s Chicago Private Label Trade Show has successfully been held for 41 editions. It is the only trade show in the Americas entirely dedicated to private labels; it offers a unique opportunity to meet retail decision-makers and serves as a platform for retailers and suppliers to negotiate and build their private label businesses, making it an excellent way for companies to enter the private label retail market in the Americas. A similar exhibition is held annually in May in Amsterdam. In 2019, 1,439 companies from 54 countries and regions participated, with 2,570 booths, 54 national pavilions, 429 international exhibitors, and over 5,200 professional buyers. Buyers came from supermarkets, drug chains, mass merchandisers, discounters, clubs, dollar stores and convenience stores, online and specialty retailers, food service distributors, and wholesalers. Products covered thousands of categories. Including food, beverages and snacks, health and beauty, over-the-counter drugs, household paper and cleaning products, housewares, and general merchandise. Fresh and organic foods will also be featured at PLMA’s 2022 exhibition, as retailers are seeking suppliers who can introduce these categories into their stores. Market research shows that plant-based diets already have a loyal following among shoppers, so this market continues to grow. With consumers more interested in cooking than ever, exhibitors with private label kitchenware and lifestyle products will be a significant part of the show floor. Market Analysis Today’s retailers place great emphasis on expanding store brands to address growing consumer trends. PLMA’s trade show reflects the latest consumer preferences and choices. Every major private label category is covered at the exhibition, allowing attendees to see the latest market trends. Therefore, many retailers bring their entire sourcing teams, including category managers and packaging specialists, to the show. For exhibitors, this is a rare opportunity to collaborate with customers and develop products to increase sales. Walmart began launching its private label – Great Value – in 1992. After more than 20 years of development, Great Value’s sales have reached nearly 10 billion US dollars, with the brand encompassing 2,000 products, bringing significant sales performance and considerable profits to Walmart.
