A National Seminar titled ‘Agricultural &
Environmental Concerns – Role of Education’ is to be held on Friday, 4th
February 2011 at Hotel Taj Coromandel, Chennai. Thought leaders will discuss
India’s economic growth performance since 1991 which received worldwide
attention and many consider Indian economy as the “emerging giant”. However,
quite a few disturbing trends are also observed during this period, such as the
widening gap between the have’s and the have-not’s, large unemployment in
the agriculture sector, and the country has to deal with the co-existence of
rotting grain mountains and mounting hunger mouths. A number of industries
heavily depended on natural resources are planning/implementing huge capacity
expansions in their capacity without concern for, the environment, local
population and their aspirations. Social tensions in various parts arising out
of the above are not uncommon. The seminar “Agriculture & Environmental
Concerns – the role of Education” looks at the role of education in
addressing these grave concerns, so that India can achieve inclusive growth,
through greater thrust to agriculture, strengthening of the human capital base
and improved governance, while addressing environmental concerns.
