Grant Description

As is the case in the United States, the different Indian states have varying business climates, and there is much that can be done on the state policymaking level to promote competitiveness and economic growth. To that end, the U.S. Embassy New Delhi seeks to sponsor a Symposium on State Competitiveness, with a special focus on the North Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, and Haryana (including Union Territory Chandigarh). This initiative aims to share best practices that would allow states to become more competitive, improve the business environment, and promote trade between the U.S. and India.
