Summits

Delivering Equality, Growth and Social Justice

4th SKOCH Summit

4th SKOCH Summit | Wednesday & Thursday | 27th & 28th October 2004 | Hotel Intercontinental Eros, New Delhi


With well over half of India’s developmental expenditure not really reaching the target groups, all stakeholders acknowledge that higher monetary allocation is going to help only when accompanied by structural changes in delivery systems.

As India works towards delivering equality, growth and social justice to all sections of the society, the need for sound ICT deployment along with a good governance perspective is becoming increasingly critical and compelling. India @ Work Summit showcased successful experiments at fixing delivery mechanisms, but as in all such past Skoch seminars it also attempts to come up with innovative solutions. Intensive workshops in select areas will be conducted by key leaders in different specialist fields, and best practices shared with senior level participation from the government and policy makers, successful industry players, academia, analysts, NGOs, consultants, domain experts as well as global technology enablers. A mix guaranteed to catalyze your thought processes as never before.
