India Economic Summit 2007
The 23rd India Economic Summit focused on how to build centers of excellence across India in order to sustain high economic growth. While India has achieved significant growth in recent years, participants acknowledged that major challenges remain, including developing infrastructure, education, and job skills for the expanding workforce. Minister of Finance Palaniappan Chidambaram noted that simply increasing spending and investment is not enough - India must ensure it is achieving real outcomes and results on the ground. All agreed that a top priority must be improving education and training to develop India's human resources at all levels of society. Building the centers of excellence needed across India to drive inclusive growth will require mobilizing people's skills and productivity, especially in rural areas.
