The Indian economy is going through a severe economic crisis. What caused the crisis and how serious is it? What are the remedies available in a situation like this? Is government’s response to the crisis adequate to deal with the problem or is it likely to worsen it?
Society for Social and Economic Research along with the Centre for Informal Sector and Labour Studies, JNU, organised a conference on September 13, in which a very distinguished panel of economists dealt with these questions.
