43rd National Convention of Company Secretaries Inaugurated At New Delhi

Come, Make in India! PM Modi's aggressive push to revive an ailing manufacturing sector, has found  resonance with India Inc. The Make in India program includes major new initiatives designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, protect intellectual property, and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. Keeping “Make in India” as the central theme, the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) today organised a curtain raiser press conference on the occasion of the ensuing 43rd National Convention of Company Secretaries which is scheduled from the 17th till the 19th of December 2015.
The National Convention would deliberate threadbare the issues related to Make In India as even after one year of the launch of this flagship programme of the Government of India the professional fraternity is left wondering as to what direction to take, what is happening in the business environment or industry and how to make the most of opportunities that present themselves. These are some of the questions that are sought to be answered during the deliberations at the 43rd National Convention of Company Secretaries, as there is still need of a clear direction for moving forward and ways to increase the sustainability of their organizations."

External spillovers likely to hit India's financial system: RBI report

  While India’s growth remains insulated from global headwinds mainly due to buoyant domestic demand, the domestic financial system could, however, be impacted by external spillovers, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said in its half yearly Financial Stability Report published on Monday.Furthermore, the rising global trade disputes and intensifying geopolitical hostilities could negatively impact the domestic growth outlook and reduce the demand for bank credit, which has decelerated sharply. “Moreover, it could also lead to increased risk aversion among investors and further corrections in domestic equity markets, which despite the recent correction, remain at the high end of their historical range,” the report said.It noted that there is some build-up of stress, primarily in financial markets, on account of global spillovers, which is reflected in the marginal rise in the financial system stress indicator, an indicator of the stress level in the financial system, compared to its p...

Healthy balance sheets augur well for economy: RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra
