MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE(SHRI NAMO NARAIN MEENA)

(a) to (d): The World Economic Forum organised an ‘India Economic Summit’ at New Delhi on November 14-16, 2010. Reportedly, the theme for the Summit was “Implementing India” and the deliberations focused on how domestic and international decision makers from business, government and civil society could implement policies for inclusive growth agreed in the summit held last year and how the country could manage fulfilling the requirements for sustaining high growth and balancing it with the negative externalities that such a process might entail. The recommendations of this summit and other such recommendations emanating from other international and national organisations/ institutions, researchers/academia and civil society, from time to time, would serve as useful inputs in the process of shaping policies in this regard.
