1. It might appear that in a country like India this question is less relevant. But in fact it is not so. When you observe people living in countries where sunlight is abundant, they mostly try to avoid sunlight wherever possible - due to a number of reasons of course, one simply may being not to get any more tanned than necessary.
2. In developing countries at least the way while going to work used to be somewhat outdoors, but since this is changing and more and more people are working in offices, going to work by car and all rooms being fully equipped with AC, we cannot ensure that receive their daily optimum dosage of sunlight.
3. It is reported in various news and media channels for example in India, that people are getting more and more depression, especially in cities. This was unheard of in the past. Reason for this need to be studied more and certainly stress plays a major role, but there are chances that subtle things like less exposure to sunlight (which was abundant and natural so far) are also reasons that support such mental diseases.
In conclusion I would suggest that all offices, hospitals and schools around the world - being in sunlight rich or sunlight poorer countries - should be equipped with the best possible lighting of which full spectrum light still is the most natural choice.

Does the full spectrum lamps have any relevance in countries like India where sunlight is abundant, through out the year?
I've recently read an article "Viva-Lite | The benefits of Daylight lighting" from squidoo. Does the full spectrum lamps have any relevance in countries like India where sunlight is abundant, through out the year?

There do not appear to be any scientific studies supporting the benefits of using these lights. Furthermore, if they were of natural spectrum they would be dangerous to your skin. I couldn't tell for sure if they really are full spectrum or just have more blue. Depending upon which they are, they are either useless for health or outright dangerous. This would apply equally in India.

However, you are totally wrong that a normal full spectrum lamp is dangerous for you skin. The amount of light is in normal room under 1000 lux, mostly much, much under. If the lux amount would be over 3500 (this never happens e.g. in offices), the best full spectrum lamps would make some D-vitamin on the skin e.g. in 30 minutes. If the fixture has a plastic shield, the light would cause any D-vitamin. You can never get so much light from a full spectrum lamp that the skin would burn. It is impossible to get tanned under full spectrum lamp. This is a fact. I have lived and worked near 20 years under full spectrum lamps. You should also test those lamps, you could read more faster and the colors are natural like at noon outdoors.
