Microphones in the earcups actively monitor what you hear, including unwanted outside sound. The difference between the unwanted sound and the desired sound is then electronically processed, creating a correction signal that acts to negate the unwanted noise. The speaker within each earcup is then fed the correction signal. This signal, combined with the passive noise reduction of the headset itself, dramatically reduces the outside noise that reaches your ears

World Development Indicators (WDI) , published annually by the World Bank says ...
Equally surprising is that 35% of India's population lives on less than $1 a day, which is comparable to Bangladesh's 36% and much worse than Pakistan's 17% and Sri Lanka's 6%.
Times Magazine says .. over the last three years India has achieved "the second fastest [growth] rate in the world".
But based on WDI , this common wisdom turns out to be an exaggeration.
And, combined with the vibrancy of democracy and the successes of higher education in India, this has led some commentators to argue that its future augurs even better than China's.
The problem with South Asia is that, being poor, even this smaller inequality means much greater hardship for the poor and this is what is feeding various kinds of rebellious movements in the region

India resides in its village's. Around 65% of the population lives in rural India. I come from one of those village. These villages are hardly untouched by so called growth and modernisation. The fourth generation of the families in my village still are same as their forefathers. None of government reforms or reports have ever made difference! And nor will they make any in future. Its upon educated people like us who can be catalyst in changing their tomorrow. Even if its one step at time. I am in process of taking that step. How about you?

--- Indian Global Giants :
10 lakhs = 1 million
100 lakhs = 1 crore = 100 * 100000 = 10 pow 7
100 crore = 1 billion = 100 * 100 * 100000 = 10 pow 9.
If 25,000 crores , then 25,000 / 100 = 250 billion
If 40,000 crores then 40,000 / 100 = 400 billion
Ten years ago, 1996 , Companies of even small size were expecting revenue of
100 billion , 100 * 100 crores by 2000.

Mukesh Ambani's Reliance also boasts the investment plan of 1200 billion & more.
Anil Ambani investing 550 billion , ie , 550 * 100 crores.
