" A Development Vision for India "_by Dr. R Balasubramaniam

Dr. R Balasubramaniam talks about “A Development Vision for India " as part of the Azim Premji University Colloquium Series. August 05, 2016 . About the Lecture The talk will revolve around the concept of how ‘Development’ needs to be viewed as a constant expansion of human capabilities. It will trace the history of the Nations’s growth over the last millenia and the paradigm of how expanding human and social capital is more critical to India today than ever before. It will also demonstrate how this expansion can result in economic consequences for all. The talk will also include how the eco-system for implementing this paradigm needs to be created and why the development agenda set by the Govt. must reflect the ‘voice’ of the people/communities. It will conclude with a call for collective action that includes the Governent, an engaged citizenry, a sociall responsible private sector and vibrant civil society groups. The talk will be based on the experience of the speaker from founding and running one of India’s leading development organization for over three decades and from studying and teaching in some of the world’s leading schools including Harvard & Cornell. It will also draw from the many experiential anecdotes written in his latest book, ‘i, the citizen’.
