According to itypeusa, India is a large country located in South Asia with an estimated population of over 1.3 billion people. Hindi and English are the two main official languages and Hinduism is the main religion practiced by the majority of its citizens. India’s economy is heavily reliant on services, which account for around two-thirds of its GDP, as well as agriculture and industry. Additionally, there are several industries such as textiles, automotive, IT and telecommunications that contribute to its economy as well. In terms of education, India has seen some progress in recent years with an increase in access for students from all backgrounds. Additionally, healthcare services have improved greatly due to government-funded initiatives such as free health care for pregnant women and children under five years old. Overall, India is a vibrant country with a rich culture that continues to be an important part of global society today. It is known for its traditional music which can be heard throughout the country and traditional dishes like curry are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. There are also many national parks that are home to some of Asia’s most stunning wildlife including tigers, elephants and various bird species. India is located in the Northern Hemisphere and is in the UTC+5:30 time zone. This time zone is referred to as Indian Standard Time (IST). India does not observe Daylight Saving Time and its clocks remain at UTC+5:30 throughout the year. It is important to note that India is split into two time zones, with most of the country lying within IST but some parts of India, such as Andaman and Nicobar Islands, lie in UTC+6:30. Due to its location near the equator, India experiences relatively mild seasonal changes in daylight hours throughout the year. In summer months, daylight lasts for around twelve hours while in winter daylight lasts for around eleven hours. Sunrise and sunset times vary slightly depending on location but are generally consistent across most of the country. For example, sunrise generally occurs between 5 am and 6 am while sunset usually takes place between 5 pm and 6 pm all year round. See ebizdir for India Economical Facts.
