India’s GDP growth is projected at 7% for FY 2024-25, with significant reductions in poverty and unemployment rates. Social protection schemes like the Targeted Public Distribution System cover 800 million citizens. Labour market reforms, formalisation, and initiatives like e-Shram and NCS are transforming employment landscapes. International collaboration under India’s G20 presidency supports skill recognition and global work mobility, positioning India for sustained, inclusive development.
