Over the next decade India will overtake China as the world’s most populous nation, home to one in five people. Its economy is booming but if India, and the world, are to reap the rewards of this then the growth must be sustainable – both in economic and environmental terms, benefiting all of society and lifting millions out of poverty. Working together, the India Centre aims to play a small role in supporting India to achieve its sustainable development goals, changing the world for the better.
