Mysuru: Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDM-IMD), Mysuru, has organised a workshop on Nov.9 on the theme “Inclusive Sustainable Growth: Challenges of Change” at its premises in city at 9.30 am.

The workshop is organised as part of the 3rd International Conference on Economic Growth and Sustainable Development which will be held on Nov. 10 and 11.

The workshop is designed specifically to enable research scholars and academicians in identifying emerging research issues and research gaps in the field of sustainable growth.

It gains significance owing to increased research interest in this field. Though countries like India or China are successful in achieving high economic growth in the last few decades, such growth appears to be unsustainable. At this backdrop, the workshop brings together academics, research scholars and corporate executives to deliberate on the underlined issues.

Dr. Parameshwar P. Iyer, Principal Research Scientist, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, will deliver a talk on sustainability in management of technologies.

Dr. Rangan Varadan, Founder and CEO, MicroGraam, will provide insights on the role of micro finance and strategic interventions of Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) in enabling inclusive sustainable growth.

Dr. R. Indira, retired Professor and former Director of International Centre, University of Mysore, will share practical experiences on inclusive sustainable development issues of women and marginalised in the society in Indian context.

Dr. Brahm Sharma, Director, AIMS Centre of Sustainability, Bengaluru, will discuss the opportunities and challenges of sustainable industrial development for inclusive growth.

A panel discussion with eminent speakers including Dr. N.R. Parasuraman, Director of SDM-IMD, Dr. R. Indira and Dr. Brahm Sharma will debate upon the emerging research issues in the area of Inclusive Sustainable Growth. The panel discussion will be moderated by Dr. M.R.Suresh of SDM-IMD.
