Crafting India’s Sustainable Growth Model – How Not To Copy China or the West
11 June – Saturday – Bangalore 09.30 AM – 2 PM Venue – Management Development Centre IIM Bangalore – Free Entry
Why The Conclave
India urgently needs an indigenous sustainability model which can be in harmony with its economy, society and culture. Such an all-round or holistic growth model could help India evolve as a vibrant nation, if not a super power.
There’s broad consensus that India CANNOT afford to follow the Western model of inequitable growth or the Chinese ‘grow now, pay later’ model. But there’s not enough dialogue, debate or conversation about what India should do instead.
No one has a problem with rapid growth with equity. Do we know how to achieve this balance? Do we have an idea what will happen to India’s eco-system if we if we grow between 8 and 10% and abolish poverty by 2030?
The governments – central and states – seem eager and serious about supporting clean energy and clean India. India’s commitment at the recent Paris Summit is laudable. How can we build on this momentum?
The effort should start NOW. Procrastination could result in India adopting a nasty cocktail of Chinese and the Western ways by default. The price India could pay could be very heavy.
Throughout our history, we have learnt from others while preserving our roots to forge forward. Can we do this again now?
The conclave will address the following questions:
- What are the models of all-round growth that India could pursue?
- How could India test and validate a few of these models by 2025?
- What are the key barriers to overcome in enabling a shared vision or focus?
- How can India’s culture and heritage be leveraged through such models?
