The World Bank office in New Delhi has around 150 professional staff members; of these, around 95 percent are Indian nationals who specialize in areas such as education, health, infrastructure development, financial management, and rural development. The Bank works closely with the Indian government, as well as with civil society organizations and communities in designing its support for the country.
India remains the Bank’s largest single borrower. Our lending to the country touched an all time high of $3.7 billion in 2006-2007 - more than double the amount lent a year earlier. The bulk of new lending has gone to much-needed infrastructure and human development projects, reflecting the rapid growth of India’s economy. In June 2007, our assistance was spread over sixty seven projects across the country.
