About India Follow us

India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with
a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. It has
 
achieved all-round socio-economic progress since
Independence. As the 7th largest country in the world,
India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it
is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a
distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great
Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at
the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean
between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian
Sea on the west.
