The 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy is hosting an event titled “India’s Economy in the Next Quarter Century: Opportunities and Challenges” on Thursday, May 9, 2024, from 2 PM to 6:30 PM. This public event is open to individuals aged 18 and older and is supported by the center.
India recently celebrated its 75th anniversary of independence, marking significant changes in the country over the years. Today, India is the world’s most populous country, the fifth-largest economy globally, and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Despite these achievements, India still faces fundamental challenges in its development journey.
The event organized by the 21st Century India Center aims to bring together leading economists to discuss current research insights and explore how future academic work can address the most pressing economic issues that India will encounter in the next 25 years. The keynote speech will be delivered by Michael Kremer, a University Professor at the University of Chicago, and co-recipient of the 2019 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences. Additionally, there will be a special lecture by Karthik Muralidharan from UC San Diego, author of the book “Accelerating India’s Development.”
The agenda for this public event includes a panel discussion followed by a break before moving on to the keynote and special lecture.
