India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the largest liberal democracy in the world. India has a coastline of over seven thousand kilometres and borders Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. India is adjacent to the Indian Ocean island nation of Sri Lanka.
Although India has seen strong economic growth over the past few years, the scale of its need remains huge. 76 % of the population lives in poverty, and there are more people living on less than $1 a day in India than in sub-Saharan Africa. dfid.gov.uk, 02 February 2010
