It is a pleasure to be present here today to address this august gathering at this workshop on sustainability. I am, indeed, glad to see different organizations with varied interests and areas of work coming together to address the sustainability issue, a subject which is fast gaining importance, not just in India, but also globally.
Today, all stake holders – Government, industry, business, banks and consumers – have increasingly started realizing that if India and Indian businesses have to maintain a high growth momentum in the medium to long run, they have to focus on various facets of sustainability and I am sure, this Conference will serve to underscore this vital aspect.
