South Asian Economic Development: The Way Forward
An International Conference from the Perspective of Young Researchers
April 9-10, 2015
The Faculty of Economics at the South Asian University, New Delhi, is pleased to announce its
inaugural international conference with young researchers. South Asia is well known as the
region that has consistently grown at impressive rates over the last decade and a half, while
being home to the largest concentration of the world’s poor. Interrogating the extent of and
reasons for endemic poverty coexisting with sustained economic growth is the basic raison
detre for the proposed conference to be held during April 9-10, 2015 in New Delhi. Evaluating
‘what has worked’, ‘what has not’ and, therefore, ‘how precisely do we go forward’ will form
the core scientific content of the proposed conference.
Being part of a unique university with a mandate of inculcating regional consciousness among
the citizens of South Asia, the Faculty of Economics considers it an obligation to contribute to
the understanding of the challenges and opportunities for inclusive development in the region,
especially in its economic dimension. Through this conference, we hope to provide a platform
for sharing both broad visions of the region’s collective future, as well as results of detailed
research focusing on specific themes relevant for the region.
This event will be dedicated to the memory of Professor G. K. Chadha, Founding President of
South Asian University, who passed away in March 2014. A renowned economist and
administrator, Professor Chadha spent the last years of his life building the South Asian
University from scratch. His vision of South Asia as a strong regional entity and South Asian
University as a vibrant intellectual space to support this goal will be the guiding force behind
this conference.
