Conference Theme
“Emerging Sectors: Growth Drivers For
Indian Economy”
India has been bursting at its seam and is on the threshold of a buoyant
economy since the initiative of liberalizing the economy way back in 1991.
The Sine qua non of all the initiative taken by successive governments since
1991 has been to snow ball the economy to a state of sustained growth
progress and greater quality of life. The success stories of corporate growth
and growth of specific sectors abound and history is a witness to it. The
question that has dogged economists, academicians and the business
professionals has been, while the country has seen growth, is it pocketed to
specific sectors only, and why is there little progress in certain areas. What
have been the triggers for growth and on the counter, what has been
inhibiting growth of our country? Why is there still a need for rekindling of
the debate on FDI? Have the statesmen, bureaucrats and economist not
envisioned the country's progression and defined its path? Have the
government failed to visualize the key issues impacting the growth of the
country? The conference on “Emerging Sectors: Growth Drivers for Indian
Economy” will focus on these key issues and sectors, which in turn will
facilitate in achieving desired results. It is hoped that the key outcome of the
conference will be in the form of contribution not only to the existing
literature but also document the key noting and observations of the
corporate and academia.
