These deficienties cant all be blamed on a monsoon but it is a big dampener that has led agriculture to a stand still. It forms a substantial part of the undeveloped economies. "Additionally, the more cautious investor sentiment globally has seen potential investors become more critical of India's policy and infrastructure shortcomings stem from lack of action towards an undeveloped mercerised farm structure.

S&P has lowered base case forecasts of 2012 real GDP growth by about half a percentage point for some countries, such as China to 7.5%; Japan to 2.0%; Korea to 2.5% Singapore to 2.1%; and Taiwan to 1.9%.

This report says that children in poor households are more than twice as likely to be stunted as those in affluent ones. However, even in the wealthiest 20% of the population, one child in five is undernourished. India's performance in the barometer indicates both "frail commitments and outcomes". The number of children dying before their fifth birthday declined from 12 million in 1990 to 6.9 million in 2011 globally. In contrast to this overall positive trend, progress in reducing childhood under nutrition has been tardy. It remains the underlying cause of more than a third of all child deaths worldwide at around 2.3 million in 2011.
