Business Club holds lecture
A lecture on quot;Commercialisation of Infrastructurequot; was organised by the Business Club of Panjab University Business School today.
The key speaker on the occasion was Pardeep Singh, Chief Executive Infrastructure of I.L. and F.S. and visiting faculty member at the Harvard University. He discussed the reasons as to why infrastructure was not commercialised in India and the need and techniques for commercialisation.
He stressed the importance of an efficient legal framework in the development of infrastructure. However, he said, commercialisation is not the cure for ills, so it will have to be tested over a period of time.
