Fourth Arijit Mukherji Memorial Lecture

IIM Calcutta organized the fourth Arijit Mukherji Memorial Lecture on 12th February 2020 at the campus. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Krishnamurthy V. Subramanian, Chief Economic Advisor, Govt of India and an alumnus of IIM Calcutta. The subject of his lecture was ‘Wealth Creation’ and he shared insights from The Economic Survey of India-the flagship annual document of the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. Dr Subramanian stated that the cover of the survey itself conveys synthesis. The event started with an address by Prof. Prashant Mishra, Dean, New Initiatives and External Relations where he spoke fondly about the Late Professor Arijit Mukherji and the background information about instituting the lecture. This was followed by an introductory speech by Prof. Anju Seth, Director, IIM Calcutta who welcomed Krishnamurthy V. Subramanian to deliver the lecture.
