A national conference on

An Assessment of 25 Years of Globalization in India

Organised by

About the Conference
In India, elimination of barriers to trade and
investments since 1991 under the process of
economic globalization has led to complete
opening up of domestic markets and business
space for imports and foreign investment.
Consequent surge of import into India has
resulted in huge trade deficit and persistent
depreciation of the Indian rupee. Indias most
adverse balance of trade is with China, which
exceeds over US$ 51 billion. On the other hand
liberal FDI regime has resulted in increasing
foreign ownership and control over the industry,
trade and Commerce. More than of the market
of several sectors has gone into the hands of
foreign MNCs. Concerns like the rising
unemployment, growing inequalities in income
and wealth, threat to environment and adverse
effects on family, social and cultural value
systems are also being raised. All these poses
real challenge before the economy and polity,
and also about sustainability of the process of
globalization.
A series of policy reforms have been made to
open and integrate Indian economy with the rest
of the world. Various agreements signed under
the domain of the World Trade Organization
(WTO) have also started restraining the
governments of their sovereign right to control
trade and investments into the country. Further,
even the use of emerging technologies through a
pro-people IPR regime is also restricted.
This has also led to cause a wide range of
disparities at inter & intra-national levels.
Casualization of work force and disproportionate
growth of low income jobs devoid of bare
minimum welfare and social security coves are
new challenges before the society. It, therefore,
becomes imperative to have an assessment of
these 25 years of globalization in India and take
corrective measures where ever required. With
this purpose in mind, Guru Gobind Singh
Indraprastha University,Delhi is organizing a
one day conference on 12th September 2016, to
discuss the issue of globalization in India from
different angles.
