I live in India. Well definitely there is a change in last 15-20 years. People have money to buy phones, bikes, tv along with DTH connection, etc even in poor villages. Electricity situation is much better. Roads are much much better now. Access to baking is much more prevalent. Digital services has brought much needed access and corruption is lesser. We have many brands, malls, restaurants etc. Air travel which was elite in 2005s is now common place and accessible to many more (but not all). Rail travel has improved marginally, I would say. Water and sanitation has improved marginally.

Education has though largely remained where it was i.e. cities have very very good schools, colleges (but expensive) etc and higher eduction (colleges etc) is much more prevalent but primary education in rural areas is still a concern. Same with healthcare. It has improved drastically in cities but not in rural areas.

However there is still a 20% population which lives below the poverty line. This, in Indian context is still a very large number (250-280mn). Government cannot put their foot off peddle here. Education, nutrition, healthcare, roads, safe drinking water, santitation, electricity, social equality etc are the goals that they need to continue focusing on.
