The Stanford King Center on Global Development hosts the 19th Annual Conference on Indian Economic Policy on June 3 and 4. The conference brings together policy makers, academics, business experts and community members to discuss critical issues facing the Indian economy. This year’s conference focuses on priorities for the new government in India. As with earlier conferences, the program will feature a mix of academic papers and panel sessions combining business leaders and senior policy makers. Session topics will include agriculture, energy, health, media and politics, business and industry, and macro-economics.
