Here is one very disappointing piece of news about our nation’s current competitiveness. More than the rank, the “trend” is what is really worrying.
World’s most prosperous nations: India slips 10 places to be at 88
India has slipped 10 places to the 88th spot in the World Prosperity Index due to poor healthcare and education systems coupled with a weak entrepreneurial infrastructure. The prosperity index is based on 89 variables and claims to comprehensively rank the level of prosperity in 110 nations of the world.

I think government should really wake up to the realities. Note the areas where India has gone down the trend: it’s about healthcare and education systems – the prime targets of our so called “govt for aam adami”. We need some genuine soul search.
