Dr. Ramkumar during the opening said, “India is poised for tremendous growth in the manufacturing and retail sectors having already made its mark in the IT and service sectors. Governments of India's aim and policies are all geared up towards having a double digit inclusive growth. The exponential growth in the information technology industry in India has no doubt enhanced the middle class population in India, but the growth has been confined to only certain segments of the society. India's majority of population, approximately 60 percent still live in rural areas. It is important to raise the standard of living of the rural population to have all inclusive growth."
