In this 24th Summit we revisit the theme from the 4th Skoch Summit held in October 2010 at New Delhi.The 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) document has a subtitle of inclusive growth. This lists out divides and disparities and these can be spatial (geographic) or collective-category (gender, caste, community, ethnicity, religion) based. Reforms that trigger growth must be inclusive in the sense of broad-basing growth and mainstreaming deprived and backward segments. While growth throws up market-based opportunities, there must be equal access to markets. The main items on this inclusive growth agenda are the following:
- Education
- Health
- Infrastructure
- Governance
- Subsidies
- Spatial deprivations
- Financial Deepening
- Public goods and Public expenditure
- Land and natural resource markets
- Special Session: A Billion Connected People - Making of a Digital Nation
