India’s Energy Development Programmes and Inclusive Growth

The Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (U.P.) in association with the Decision Sciences Institute, U.S.A. and University of Alabama, U.S.A., organized an international conference on Decision Sciences & Technology for Globalisation on January 2–4, 2008. In many ways it was truly international because of a large number of participants and also speakers from abroad. I had the honour of inaugurating this conference. The conference contents covered all the aspects of functioning of industry and business (viz. production, marketing, finance, I.T. etc.), because the decision making process cuts across the entire spectrum of organization’s working. For my own inaugural address (extempore) I chose the theme “India’s Energy Development Programmes & Inclusive Growth”.
