Achieving the Millenium development goals in India
Vícenecová, Romana ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bartušková, Hana (referee)
The world economy is currently going through many changes. The economic strength of developing countries has increased significantly, however the power of developed countries tends to decline. One of the emerging economies, which is gradually strengthening its position as one of the strongest players in the world, is India. Despite all the economic potential, India still ranks among the developing economies and many factors, such as poverty or hunger, keep slowing down India's growth. The biggest program, which seeks to help the developing countries, is called the Millennium Development Goals. These goals were established in 2000 by the United Nations. My bachelor's thesis aims to analyze progress in achieving the Millennium development goals in India with a focus on meeting the three specific targets related to poverty, education and women empowerment. This work captures the successes that India has already managed to reach as well as mentioning the targets that will not be met.

India: poverty as an obstacle to further development
Lauberová, Petra ; Steinmetzová, Dana (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines a relationship between the growth of Indian economy, reducing of poverty in the country and the need to raise the capacity and quality of the local educational system. The Republic of India currently occupies second position in the ranking of the fastest growing economies in the world. Its economic success is largely controlled by the output of the tertiary sector, which is difficult for a qualified workforce. Unfortunately, finding qualified workers in India to fill positions that are in demand is very challenging. The demand for education grows only with raising of the incomes of the population and therefore poverty becomes an obstacle to further development in the country. The first chapter of the thesis defines the concept of poverty in general, provides different ways how to measure it and represents some global concepts and strategies for combating it. The second chapter describes the evolution of the Indian economy since independence to the present and focuses on areas which have caused its upsurge. The chapter also examines how current crisis has influenced these areas and provides some characteristics and facts about poverty in India. The final chapter evaluates the Indian educational system, pointing out its weaknesses and outlines the solutions that would enable its access to the wider sections of the population and improvement of its quality.
