India's Economy in the Next Quarter Century: Opportunities and Challenges

May 9, 2024: India's Economy in the Next Quarter Century: Opportunities and Challenges
India recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of its independence. Much has changed about India in the intervening years. India is now the world’s largest country by population, the fifth-largest economy globally and is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Yet fundamental challenges remain in India’s development path.
Join the 21st Century India Center for an engaging event as we bring together world-class economists to delve into current research insights and discuss how future academic work can build on this knowledge to help make progress on the most pressing economic problems India will face in the next quarter century.
Keynote speech by Michael Kremer, University Professor in the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago and the co-recipient of the 2019 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Special lecture by Karthik Muralidharan from UC San Diego and author of the transformative new book, “Accelerating India's Development.”
