WHAT IS THE COMPETITION FOR YOUNG MANAGERS? Madras Management Association has been organizing the 'Competition for Young Managers' annually since 1996. The event aims to recognize competitive excellence among young managers and provide them with an unparalleled opportunity to hone their analytical, creative thinking, problem solving, team work and leadership skills. This is one of the foremost and hugely popular competitions exclusively meant for young managers working in public and private sector organizations. It brings disparate teams of young executives from the corporate world on a common platform to research, analyse, discuss and deliberate on a theme of contemporary managerial interest and national significance. It provides unique opportunities for young managers to demonstrate their knowledge, creativity, experience and professional prowess, grooming them to become the “Leaders of Tomorrow”.
ABOUT THE THEME “India’s Century: How to drive Sustainable, Inclusive Growth” The past year has seen multiple global events impact growth and economic and energy security. Amidst these headwinds, India – with a resilient economy and strong domestic demand – is poised to take on the challenges of subdued global demand and energy self-sufficiency. With the right moves, India could make the most of the opportunities presented by its young workforce and growing economy, shaping a unique growth story. With this theme in mind, there will be three special sessions: “Sustainable growth with energy independence”, “Atmanirbhar Bharat to accelerate frontier growth” and an “Execution masterclass as India paves the way towards global leadership”.
KEY POINTERS TO PARTICIPANTS Analyse: Inclusive growth refers to an impartial allocation of resources with benefits incurred to every section of the society. What are the intended short and long term plans envisaged for the society to ensure the availability of basic needs, education, health care, employment, etc. Inclusivity and growth makes little sense unless sustainability forms an integral part of the economic development. Where does India stand today, as world sees this current century belonging to India. Assess:Inclusive growth is defined by many academicians as the pace and pattern of growth, which are considered interlinked, and therefore in need to be addressed together. UNDP has described inclusive growth as “the process and the outcome where all groups of people have participated in growth and have benefited equitably from it”. Has the Indian society evolved adequately to claim its rightful rank in the global index of inclusivity and sustainability? Advocate: Expects have concluded that inclusive growth is the “growth that has a high elasticity of poverty reduction”, i.e. It should have a higher reduction in poverty per unit of growth. Equity to access for basic facilities, equality of opportunities for every citizen with the aim of protecting the interest of future generations is a long haul, but the ultimate dream of every modern society. As a society, where do we stand, and how do we make this century, truly our own, for the larger good of humanity at large.
