Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, distinguished delegates to the conference, distinguished friends. A warm welcome to all of you.
Today we commemorate Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary. She is celebrated for her determined leadership and for her deep and genuine concern for the poor. Among Indira Gandhi’s many personal qualities, was her wide range of interests, her great curiosity about people, places and most of all about ideas... She captured the best of new thinking in diverse areas and interacted with many individuals around the world who were exploring new ways to tackle world problems. On many such issues, the Indira Gandhi Conference touches upon this aspect of her personality. They also serve the broader purpose of shaping public opinion and contributing to public policy. These conferences are not just about the development agenda. They are also about ways of giving it political and economical momentum.
