Facts, figures and faith
India is the only country where there is so much interest in the budget presented every year by the central government. Yet India is supposed to have emerged into the era of liberalisation and free market. Why then is there a dependence on what the state does? Why then the fear that an irrational faith in the state is leading corporate houses up a blind alley? Hear the views and insights of some important men of ideas at The Telegraph Panel Discussion on The faith corporates have in the budget is misplaced. Speakers: Ashok Desai, Ashok Ganguly, Pawan Munjal, Salman Khurshid, Suhel Seth and Udayan Bose. Moderator: Rudrangshu Mukherjee.

Event: The Telegraph Panel Discussion When: Today at 7 pm Where: Bengal Club
