India's economy grew by 7.4% in the period between January and March - up from 6.2% the previous quarter and significantly beating analyst expectations.However, growth for full 2024-25 year, which runs between April and March, is pegged at 6.5% - the slowest in four years.

The country's central bank - the Reserve Bank of India - meets later in June and is expected to cut rates for the third time in a row to boost growth.India remains the world's fastest growing major economy, although growth has sharply dropped from the 9.2% high recorded in financial year 2023-24.Asia's third-largest economy benefitted from strong farm activity, steady public spending and improved rural demand in the last financial year, even as manufacturing and new investments by private companies remained weak.

While rural growth has improved on account of a strong winter harvest, it is not nearly enough to offset continuing weakness in urban consumption, which has flagged due to high unemployment and lower wages.India's growth engine remains heavily dependent on the government's infrastructure spending on roads, ports and highways, in the absence of significant improvement in private investment.

Going forward, domestic growth should benefit from government's income tax cuts announced in the federal budget, as well as "monetary easing, expectations of an above normal monsoon and lower food inflation", Aditi Nayar, an economist with the ratings agency Icra, said.

But ongoing global uncertainties, including US President Donald Trump's trade war, are expected to weigh on export demand.Made up of 20 school children from the Madadeni Township in South Africa, the choir is visiting the UK as part of Project Zulu, an initiative by the University of the West of England (UWE).

Raising funds for their schools back home, they have showcased their traditional Zulu song in a number of West Country locations, including a Bristol Bears game and in Bath and Bristol city centres.Project leader, Ben Knight, said their final performance would take place at the Bristol Beacon on 5 June.

Project Zulu arranges for choirs from South African townships to tour the UK every two years.Mr Knight said UWE students studying professions such as teaching, engineering and occupational therapy were sent out to the township in South Africa annually to "spend a few weeks making valuable contributions to the educational life of schools in the township".
