We had a phenomenal guest lecturer at our campus today. A celebrity economist, British Labour peer and Padma Bhushan awardee, an author and a Dilip Kumar admirer, all rolled into one. Yes, it was none other than Lord Meghnad Desai.

The guest lecture by Lord Desai was a highly interactive
one, with the audience throwing a plethora of questions at him from various
areas concerning India, its economy and politics. Needless to say, he fielded
each of the questions with aplomb. Among the wide array of topics discussed at
the lecture were the dilemma faced by our economy of choosing between fuelling
growth and controlling inflation, the assumptions of Efficient Market
Hypothesis, the separatist movement in Kashmir, whether macroeconomic
indicators really indicate growth, Indian politics, the Amartya Sen versus
Jagdish Bhagwati debate, the BRICS being a misnomer etc. His views on Indian
politics thriving on poverty as a means to sustain itself were especially
interesting. Lord Desai shared with students his insights and opinions
accumulated over a life rich in academic as well as political accomplishments.
Mr. Sachin Tendulkar, Divisional Manager, Dhanlaxmi Bank,
delivered the vote of thanks. The event was concluded by Mr. Kailash Rathod who
offered Lord Desai a token of appreciation on behalf of Sydenham Institute of
Management.
We are sincerely thankful to Lord Desai for kindly
consenting to visit the campus for the guest lecture, and to Mr. Sachin
Tendulkar for his endeavors in making the guest lecture possible.
