RATHIN ROY @MANTHAN SAMVAAD 2020 on 'The Economy: Looking Back, Looking Ahead' [Subs in Hindi & Tel]

THE TALK
My talk will delineate the challenges that had caused the India growth story to falter and decline this decade. The COVID crisis has only accelerated the decline in that growth story. For India to secure sustained inclusive growth there needs to be a change in the output composition of growth. But effecting that change requires confronting formidable economic and social challenges, which present political ideologies are either unwilling or unable to embrace
