Seminar Theme
Economic reforms initiated in the nineteen nineties have had a much needed positive impact on the Indian economy. The resultant high growth trajectory into which the economy was drawn caught the attention of the rest of world and catapulted India into the league of promising emerging economies of the world. Comparing India to economies like China became fashionable. From 2008 onwards, like many other economies of the world, the Indian economy too, began to get sucked into the quagmire of global recession. The difficult external situation which the economy has been facing for some time coupled with the weakening of its macroeconomic fundamentals have reflected in falling growth rates. High levels of domestic inflation, fiscal difficulties and increasing current account deficits have not only taken the rupee on a roller-coaster drive but have also contributed towards the ebbing of business sentiments. Inability to tackle the problems on priority and proactive basis has raised questions about equity, transparency, inclusiveness and sustainability of the growth model. In this context the conference invites original papers on the “Emerging Challenges and Prospects of the Indian Economy”. The papers should seek to identify, analyse specific challenges of the Indian economy and come out with appropriate solutions.
The Goan economy has not been left isolated. Its economy which is heavily dependent on mining and tourism has almost come to a grinding halt due to the ban on mining. Although this issue was hanging like a Damocles’ sword for quite a long time, not much was done about it at the public policy level. In this context there will be a parallel session on the ‘Emerging Challenges and Prospects of Goan Economy”. Original papers are invited from scholars on this particular topic for deliberations.
