A Comprehensive Study on Changes in Indian Lives
A collaborative effort by professors from prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) in Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Lucknow, Indore, and Rohtak has resulted in a comprehensive study that sheds light on the significant changes witnessed by Indian citizens over the past five years.
Led by principal investigator Prof Dheeraj Sharma from IIM Rohtak, alongside a team of co-investigators and dedicated researchers, the study analyzed various socio-economic parameters influencing the lives of individuals across India. Data was meticulously collected through a structured survey spanning 22 regions and states, targeting a diverse pool of 85,326 respondents from various backgrounds.
The study's key findings highlight improvements in government trust, infrastructure, youth optimism, agricultural income, health and sanitation, digital engagement, labour market, public services, and travel. The survey report specifically emphasizes improvements in sanitation, road and rail travel quality, electricity, and digital access as the top five significant changes in the past five years.
This comprehensive study not only celebrates areas of progress but also sheds light on ongoing challenges, providing valuable insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and the academic community. As India continues its journey towards inclusive growth and development, the findings from this study are poised to inform future initiatives and reforms, shaping the nation's trajectory for years to come.
