BBC World Service, BBC World News and BBC.com/news will be delivering an array of content examining all aspects of India’s business, political and cultural life.
The season will launch with ‘India Rising’, a pan-BBC News day of content delivered by reporters based in India working with journalists from the Business and Economics unit, on 27 August.
For BBC World News TV, business editor Kamal Ahmed will report live from Delhi.
He will look at how Prime Minister Modi’s reforms have progressed and how UK companies are faring.
There will be a round-up edition of ‘India Business Report’.
Meanwhile, listeners on BBC World Service will hear from the correspondents as well as Indian economist and philosopher Amartya Sen.
Business Daily will explore the need for investment to help provide new opportunities for the millions living in poverty.
There will also be content on BBC.com/news including animations, video and explainers to help audiences understand the data and what it means for India.
BBC World Service English controller Mary Hockaday said, “With India’s economic performance under the spotlight, this is the perfect time to take an in-depth look at the country’s rapidly evolving business and financial landscape from successes to areas of challenge, and focus on the people whose daily lives underpin the economy.
For our listeners in India and around the world, we’ll also be discussing India’s dynamic arts scene, its wonderful food culture, and the importance of education for the next generation of growth.”
The content will further engage with the audiences using social media via the hash tag #indiarising2015.
The focus on India will continue over the following months with content across BBC World Service Radio, BBC World News TV and online at bbc.com/news.
