Speaking on the occasion, Ram Niwas drew attention towards the prevailing economic crisis and liquidity crunch throughout the world. He highlighted upon the efforts being made by G20 in order to tide over the present crisis. Defining entrepreneurship, he said it is ‘making the best out of the worst, thinking ahead of time and planning differently.’ He substantiated his discourse by giving example of countries like Netherlands, Australia, Israel, Japan, South Korea and China.
