Sept 24th Delhi briefing

Our last day on India was mostly spent in meetings learning about present and future directions for Indian agriculture, trade opportunities, and fund investment into India. Some interesting stats we learnt about India are;
It is 2.4% of Global landmass
Has 16% of global population
Population growth 18mill per year
Life expectancy is 67years
Dry land agriculture is 60% rest is irrigated, 70 to 80% of irrigation is groundwater based

After the briefings we visited a slum area to see first hand the work being done by Asha an NGO aid agency. The group was very surprised how happy these people were living in the slums

We finished our last day in India with a quick trip to the Delhi gate, the presidents house, and a lovely spicy curry tea.
