INDIA IN ASIA: DEEPER ENGAGEMENT
March 3-5, 2023, Neemrana Fort-Palace
The India in Asia: Deeper Engagement Conference has been initiated by the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP) to help deepen person-to-person and non-governmental institutional engagements with the Asian region.
This annual conference is aimed at building and deepening intellectual engagement among experts who have government, academic, private sector, or think-tank experience about the Asian region. The first of these conferences was organised from March 3-5, 2023 at the Neemrana Fort-Palace, Rajasthan.
The Conference brought together academics, influencers, and policymakers to discuss and explore the implications of Asia’s growing significance. It served as a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, with the aim of strengthening relationships and furthering research in the region.
There were five sessions at the India in Asia: Deeper Engagement Conference, apart from an opening and closing session. The sessions were as follows:
- Opening Session: Setting the Stage: Deepening India’s Engagement with Asia
- Session I: Impact of Geopolitics on Asia’s Economic Options
- Session II: Human Development and Health Policy in Asia
- Session III: Trade Integration and Global Value Chains in the Asia Pacific Region
- Session IV: The Geopolitical Effects of Economic Changes: Politics in Command
- Session V: Climate Change and Sustainability
- Closing Session: Making up for Lost Time: Towards an Annual Conference
Details about each session are available in the Conference Agenda and the Conference Compendium.
