The event started off with the welcoming of the honorable speakers with a bouquet, followed by the lighting of the ‘Lamp of Knowledge’. Mr.Amlan Ray – Faculty of National Economic Planning (NEP) was the anchor of the seminar and pointed the discussion towards the issues raised by The IIPM Think Tank. The colloquium questioned the rationale on the inclusive intent of the budget and focused on the following areas:
1. Does the budget proposal have adequate allocation and policy announcements for social sectors – namely health, education, and employment?
2. Is the interest of the economically weaker section given priority in the budget in order to reduce poverty and economic inequality?
3. Is there any target towards reducing social inequality which in turn can bring down economic inequality? Has the FM taken adequate measures for upliftment of the ethnically backward people namely minorities, dalits and backward community in the country?
4. Are adequate measures taken for increasing growth in agriculture sector to match the growth story of industry and services?
The audience comprised people from corporates, academia and the students. The panel discussion was mind blowing and had a huge impact on the students in terms of their understanding of the country’s economy. The discussion went on for three hours and ended with a conclusive session by the panelists. The panelists were unanimous on three points:
1. Transparency and accountability are much more vital than mere allocation
2. Quality of the fiscal deficit (reasons for borrowing) is important and not the quantity
3. There is an urgent need of a second green revolution in India.
A special prize for the ‘Best Question’ of the event was bagged by Mr.Sudhansu of FW 0709 batch. He was chosen by the panel and the prize was awarded by Mr. B.S.Ragnhavan.
