GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE GREATER TRANSPARENCY WHILE CREATING SEZS

Founder-director of the India Development Foundation (LDF) Shubhashis Gangopadhyay is one of India’s most authoritative economists. Also a consultant to various government bodies, Gangopadhyay believes Indians need to be more alert to the government’s economic policies and should force New Delhi to make all global deals transparent. This, he told Harsha Baruah, will ensure transparency and help the common man understand the changing global business scenario and how it will impact their lives. This interview is the seventh in the Tehelka special series that looks at the growing urban-rural divide in India over a host of economic issues.
