Abstract: This paper starts from the assumption that in order to increase India’s role on a regionaland global scale the country has to consolidate its internal coordinates by stimulating economic andsocial development based on the three pillars of sustainable growth, namely the economic, social andenvironmental. It addresses various facets of India’s socio-economic evolution and highlights thepotential impact of the current reform measures on sustainable development and social infrastructure,with direct implications for India’s participation in the system of international relations. Despite thedemographic dividend and remarkable progress in reforms, India faces a number of constraints,which makes the development of physical and social infrastructure, reduction of the informal sector,diminishing of the negative externalities associated with urbanization and the decrease of dependenceon energy imports to be essential for achieving its goals in the future.
