Theme – "Infrastructure Development: The Key to India’s Success"

India’s economic scorecard has been impressive in recent times. This veneer of progress, however, conceals an ugly reality. India continues to fare dismally on the human development scale – widespread poverty, illiteracy, the gender gap, insufficient healthcare access, the growing urban-rural divide and unbalanced interstate growth are some disconcerting challenges that we face as a nation.

For India’s growth to be sustainable and inclusive, the need of the hour is rapid infrastructure development. The private sector can play a crucial part in bolstering the government’s focus on improving infrastructure. Efficient Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can set infrastructure growth on the fast track. While headway has been made in attracting private investment in the past decade, much remains to be done. Effective private sector participation in infrastructure development is contingent on the ability to commercialize projects.

Our panel, comprising eminent speakers from both the public and private sectors, will discuss infrastructure development and related challenges that India faces, and explore opportunities for effective Public-Private cooperation that will set the nation on the superhighway of long term prosperity.
