INDIA IS DEVELOPING COUNTRY

A developing country (or a low and middle income country (lmic) less developed country less economically developed country (led) or underdeveloped country) is a country with a less developed industrial base and a low human development index (HDI) relative to other countries. However this definition is not universally agreed upon. There is also no clear agreement on which countries fit this category. A nations GDP per capita compared with other nations can also be a reference point. In general the United Nations accepts any countrys claim of itself being developing. The term developing Describes a currently observed situation and not a changing dynamic or expected direction of progress. Since the late 1990s developing countries tended to demonstrate higher growth rates than developed countries. Developing countries include in decreasing order of economic growth or size of the capital market: newly industrialized countries emerging markets frontier markets least developed countries. Therefore the least developed countries are the poorest of the developing countries. Developing countries tend to have some characteristics in common. For example with regards to health risks they commonly have: Low levels of access to safe drinking water sanitation and hygiene; energy poverty; high levels of pollution (e.g air pollution indoor air pollution water pollution).
