Happy New Year 2024 dear friends! The year 2024 is poised to have a big impact on India and the world at large, keeping us busy with many events. Here are some events that many of us may be interested in.
In 2023, India surpassed China to become the most populated country of the world. So, going forward, more than ever, it will be impossible to ignore India as both a market and supplier of resources.
Already it has been predicted that in the year 2024 India might overtake Germany to become the fourth largest economy, just behind United States, China, and Japan. As a matter of fact, we might soon overtake Japan also, and become the third largest economy. Please note we are already the fifth largest economy.
The year 2024, is also the year where our scientists will prepare for expanding their ambitions in space. ISRO is set to conduct at least 12 launches this year. Also this year, many launches are planned in preparation for the Gaganyaan, India’s manned mission in space.
Finally, 2024 will see the elections for the 18th Lok Sabha. Interestingly, along with us, about 64 nations and about half of the world’s population are set to elect their leaders. USA, Russia, Pakistan, Taiwan, European Union and most probably the UK are either scheduled or expected to hold elections in this year. Further, it is obvious that AI will influence the results of the upcoming elections in a big way.
Thus, I am going to cast my vote, be ready to watch more and more Hollywood movies with Indian tadka, make children sit through broadcasts of rocket launches and, last but not the least, pray for medals during the Paris Olympics.
Seems it is going to be a busy and eventful year for me, and I hope for all readers too!
Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous new year.
