00:00The rich Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar is on a trip to India.
00:16He reached India yesterday evening on February 17, and today, on February 18, he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Draupadi Murmu and discussed many issues.
00:28Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself went to the airport to pick him up, and this country is such an example of the world that it is rare to see.
00:36Qatar is counted among the richest countries in the world today, but it has never been so. Qatar used to be a poor country.
00:44So how Qatar became a super rich country from a poor country, we will know in this video.
00:51Qatar is one of the smallest countries in the Middle East. Its population is only 2.8 million, and it also has about 90% immigrants, i.e. people from other countries, who live here to work.
01:03Until 1925, Qatar was not considered to be livable. The people here were fleeing to other countries.
01:10Today, Qatar is one of the richest countries in the Middle East. Qatar is a country of only 12,000 square kilometers, and it was once called the country of fishermen.
01:20Until a time, most of the population of Qatar was fishermen or food-poor. In such a situation, these people did not stay in any one place.
01:27In Qatar, between 1930 and 1940, there were terrible economic crises.
01:33The country's economic system had collapsed. At that time, about 30% of Qatar's population had fled.
01:39According to the United Nations, only 24,000 to 25,000 people were left in Qatar at that time.
01:45Even after such bad conditions, how did this country become a rich country in the next 50 years? This is a very interesting thing.
01:54The year 1949 proved to be a change of fate for Qatar. This year, the first oil well was discovered in this country.
02:01This well was found 80 kilometers from Qatar's capital Doha.
02:05The well was discovered at a time when the whole world was on the brink of World War II, and Qatar took full advantage of it.
02:13Qatar started selling oil to other countries, and this started filling its treasury.
02:18Fate began to change, and from here, poor Qatar began to become the richest country in the Middle East.
02:24Happiness began to return in Qatar, and after 1950, its population also began to increase.
02:29Those who left the country began to return to their country.
02:32Not only the citizens of Qatar, but also the people of other countries began to reach here in large numbers in search of work.
02:38By supplying oil to many countries in the world, Qatar's GDP reached 30 crore US dollars by 1970.
02:47The search for oil raised Qatar's economy, and the search for natural gas gave wings to its economy.
02:54The first natural gas store was discovered in Qatar in 1971.
02:58Then Qatar found out that it is one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world.
03:03At that time, Iran and Russia had the largest natural gas reserves.
03:08In this area, these two countries were suppressed.
03:11Then in the 1980s, Qatar ended the rule of both natural gas areas.
03:17Now, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are also unable to compete with Qatar in the Middle East.
03:21Qatar's per capita income and GDP are ranked sixth in the world.
03:26Qatar is also among the countries with the highest salaries in the world.
03:30If we talk about Qatar's per capita income, it is $ 80,000, which is more than Rs. 70 lakh annually.
03:38Which includes it in the richest countries in the world.
03:42And this income is the income from oil and natural gas.
03:47In addition to this, Qatar competes with big countries in the field of health, education, infrastructure, and technology.
03:54America also asks Qatar for help in trouble.
03:57If we talk about the army, there are about 90,000 soldiers in Qatar.
04:01Qatar provides many facilities to its citizens for free.
04:05No money is taken from the citizens for health care facilities in the country.
04:10In addition to this, school education is also made available for free here.
04:14Citizens get free electricity and water for free.
04:18In addition to this, no tax is collected on income in Qatar.
04:23In addition to this, every citizen of Qatar has been given the right to get a job.
04:27Qatar's hospitals are of world-class level.
04:29And Qatar's spending is increasing in the field of education.
04:33Qatar is not only economically strong, but it has also made such a mark among the countries of the world.
04:39The World Cup football has also been organized there.
04:41Qatar also wants to hold the Olympics.
04:43Qatar invests its sovereign wealth fund in the world's major financial institutions.
04:48Qatar has also made big purchases in many countries.
04:52India also feels that if Qatar starts investing here, it will also come out of its economic system.
04:58Anyway, we will definitely update you on what has been discussed and what has been dealed between the two countries.
