Rising prices: Inflation: from 2004 to 2014, the money in circulation has increased from 3600 billion to 12000 billion INR.

With several years of sustained inflation and economic growth, the money in circulation was sure to rise. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Rs. 14.265 trillion in currency notes was in circulation on 20 March, accounting for 12.3% of India’s gross domestic product (GDP). This is up from  Rs. 12.835 trillion a year ago. The two highest denominations ( Rs. 500 and  Rs. 1,000) have seen the highest growth rates by far, followed by the  Rs. 20 note. The  Rs. 50 note has seen a sharp decline in production. The RBI gets the most value for every note printed of these denominations (in terms of cost as a percentage of value of the note). Add to that the fact that the higher denominations see far less wear and tear and so have to be replaced less frequently, and it looks like printing money will gradually become cheaper for the RBI http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/tdg8G3rKtQFmwE2hCcOrFK/What-does-it-cost-to-print-money.html

But after Nasscom launched the 10,000 Start-ups programme, that number had doubled to 200 start-ups through last year, Rajan Anandan, Google's India chief, told Business Standard in a recent interview. The buzz around start-ups in India is unmistakable. Various corporate houses, white-collar executives and governments are contributing towards building an exciting entrepreneurship environment in the country, and Nasscom's year-old initiative is a significant stakeholder in this. The programme, in which both Google and Microsoft are partners, has completed a year and has entered its third phase. This comes on the heels of the IT industry body receiving flak for being too "IT" driven, and not taking up the cause of products and start-ups enough. This programme, however, has proved to b
