Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission of India, was at the Canada India Centre for Excellence at Carleton University to deliver the annual Dhahan Lecture on Monday, Oct. 28, 2013.<\/p>\n

On the subject of \u201cIndia: Challenges and Opportunities,\u201d Dr. Ahluwalia delivered a comprehensive and engaging overview of the economic challenges facing India amid a slowdown of global financial markets.<\/p>\n

He cited global issues such as a decline in GDP and growth rates, combined with domestic constraints that include regulatory issues. However Dr. Ahluwalia pointed to upcoming fiscal reform, such as modernization of the tax system, financial inclusion mechanisms, and the introduction of a goods and service tax, which he described as a\u00a0 \u201cgame-changer\u201d in private sector development.<\/p>\n

In addition, a unique identification system \u2013 the largest database in the world enrolling 100 million people a month –\u00a0holds the promise to address\u00a0bottlenecks and leaks in the\u00a0delivery of\u00a0government services.<\/p>\n

A central theme of the India\u2019s government economic plans is the concept of inclusive growth, which in addition to a reduction in poverty, includes the participation of marginalized groups.<\/p>\n

Within future challenges, there are many opportunities for Canada-India trade and bilateral relations, particularly in energy, given the demand requirements within India.\u00a0Dr. Ahluwalia, who is also co-chair of the Canada India Energy Dialogue with Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, stated that Canada\u2019s knowledge of energy generation and transmission, along with public partner partnerships, could be at the heart of the relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n
