BSE Institute Limited, a whole subsidiary of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) organised its first conclave on “The Indian Inclusive Growth Story”.
The Indian economy, which has over the last six decades passed through various phases of growth, is now all set to enter an altogether different orbit: one marked by a high rate of expansion, combined with inclusive growth. In the last few years, inclusive growth has been at the forefront of studies sponsored by multilateral aid agencies, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and several non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, for inclusive growth in a country like India, private sector involvement is equally important. The government and private sector can play complementary roles in driving inclusive growth. There is a need for the public and the private sector in India to have a unified approach towards how they can extend, innovate, and collaborate in new ways to drive inclusive growth. The event by the BSE Institute was an initiative to lay a common platform to welcome thoughts from the youth as well to hear the opinions of the experts.
Ambarish Datta, MD & CEO, BSE Institute Limited said: “India’s government has made ‘inclusive growth’ a key element of the policy platform stating as a goal, ‘achieving a growth process in which people in different walks in life feel that they too benefit significantly from the process.’ In the first conclave here, we have had some interesting discussions and presentations exploring how our country may achieve a self-sustaining, inclusive growth. I'm sure many of these ideas will be put into action and leave a lasting impact on India's inclusive growth story, especially in the area of skills, education, health and digital.”
In the two days of the conclave, the first day focused on the participation of studentsfrom various colleges across Mumbai in events such as Paper Presentations, Just a Minute, Group Discussion and Quiz. On the second day, guest speakers addressed the audience on various themes. A panel discussion was also conducted.
The event was graced by Nand Kumar, IAS, Principal Secretary of Maharashtra School Education & Sport Department. The first panel discussion was on ‘Institutional Reforms and Strengthening of Resource Institutions for Education in India’, while the second dealt with ‘Responsibilities in creating an Inclusive Health Care system in India’.
