Country that's favoured with help being set up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

india

'country' is the definition.
(India is an example)

'favoured with help being set up' is the wordplay.
'favoured' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'help' becomes 'aid' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'help'**).
'being set up' is a reversal indicator.
'aid' written backwards gives 'dia'.
'in'+'dia'='INDIA'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "where to ring for help?" , "[TEST TEAM]" , "Land of Bombay and Calcutta" , "Sub-continental country" , "Subcontinent of Asia south of Himalayas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
