Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources, River Development, states “We are very much committed towards progressive development. Compared to the last 60 years with 4 and half years of our government, we have given an appropriate vision to our country. Agricultural crises is the biggest crisis today! And I have addressed it to the government.
We have prioritised agriculture and the growth rate has been raised up by 20%. Without strengthening rural agricultural economy, purchasing power of the large population, employment in rural areas the manufacturing and service sectors cannot boost. I am aiming to start about 5 projects for water connectivity which are of Rs. 2 lakh crores”

The 5th edition of our flagship event assumes significance at a time when India is at the cusp of a major transformation as we prepare to emerge from the current $2.6 Trillion economy to a $5 Trillion by 2025. With a strong purpose to drive this agenda and to unleash the true potential of India Inc., India Economic Conclave strives to build conversations for constructive dialogues and discussions on the critical points concerning the economy”.
