Sustainability aspects of India’s economic growth?

India is celebrating the successes of economic growth. But the growth is from sectors like Information technology, Manufacturing etc.., which can employ educated labour in its workforce. This also develops the secondary level of industries in infrastructure ( like transportation, construction, power etc..,). When India is growing now it can do a better sustainable model prepared for the future. How well are aspects of sustainability addressed ????

About 300 million middle people increasing their income level - Is India environmental conscious in emissions?

A lot of new buildings are constructed recently – are the green conscious (like use of natural light, solar power, reuse of water etc..,)?

Are large infrastructure projects constructed now prepared to face the future challenges?

More and more people are moving from agriculture to take part in the industrial development. With more than a billion people in India alone – India needs to increase competiveness of farming (other than subsidies) ?

How prepared is India to face a natural disaster and still sustain the growth? ( an aspect of risk which is seldom considered when growing)
