Introduction
India is at the crossroad of transforming itself into a rapidly developing emerging market economy. The
inherent strength of the economy is also reflected by the resolve with which the country was able to come
out of recessionary trends, sooner than most other economies. However, this was not without its share of
the problems. The country still has a long way to go before its fundamentals are strong enough to resist
any kind of economic shock that the world may go through again. As India expands its role in the global
economy, there is an imminent need to strengthen its financial sector further in aiding economic
development and facilitate a smoother integration with the global financial markets. India has made rapid
progress in reforming the banking sector and securities markets. These reforms were undertaken within a
comprehensive package involving improved fiscal responsibility and enhanced central bank independence.

Objective of Conference
The objective of the conference is to bring together academicians and practitioners with research
interests in the field of finance. The conference provides a forum for disseminating research findings,
practices and techniques in finance and exchanging ideas among academicians and practitioners to
promote a better understanding of contemporary issues and solutions to the challenges which are faced
by the economy in respect of financial reforms.
