Navigating India’s Economic Future: A Keynote and Lecture Series by Michael Kremer and Karthik Muralidharan
The 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy is hosting an event titled “India’s Economy in the Next Quarter Century: Opportunities and Challenges” on Thursday, May 9, 2024, from 2 PM to 6:30 PM. This public event will take place in the Malamud Conference Room at the Institute of the Americas and is open to individuals aged 18 and older. Admission is free for all attendees.
Recently celebrating its 75th anniversary of independence, India has undergone significant changes over the years. Today, it is the world’s most populous country, the fifth-largest economy globally, and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Despite these achievements, India still faces fundamental challenges in its development journey.
The keynote speech will be delivered by Michael Kremer, a University Professor at the University of Chicago, and co-recipient of the 2019 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences. Additionally, there will be a special lecture by Karthik Muralidharan from UC San Diego, author of “Accelerating India’s Development.” The agenda for this public event includes a panel discussion followed by a break before moving on to both keynote and special lectures before concluding with a reception.
