Invitation

POST DEMONETISATION BUDGET: A PIF ROUNDTABLE

January 10, 2017, New Delhi

 

“Post Demonetisation Budget: A PIF Roundtable” is being organised by Pahle India Foundation (PIF). 

 

The Union Budget is an opportunity for the Government to outline its priorities for the year to come. It remains the litmus test for assessing the direction and the detail of the government’s policy thinking. The Union Budget 2017-18 is going to be a ‘big’ budget in terms of its impact before the election year 2019 for lifting the economy in a major way. There are four provincial elections lined up and with demonetisation it is evident that Mr. Modi also undertakes structural reforms and not just incremental steps. This is not all. This Budget will be presented amidst the turbulent global environment demanding major moves from the Indian economy. The Roundtable aims to address the focus areas for this Big Budget.

 

Given your interest in the subject, we would welcome your presence and active participation in this Roundtable on January 10, 2017 at 2:30pm in the Lecture Room II, Basement, India International Centre Annexe, Lodi Road, New Delhi. A tentative agenda is given below. A line in confirmation would be greatly appreciated. If you are not able to attend, kindly nominate senior officials from your organization. For any further information, please contact Mr. Anil Kumar (anil.kumar@pahleindia.org)

 

Looking forward to your positive response.
