“Infranet 08” – A Blueprint for Building North

“Infranet 08” – A Blueprint for Building North
Wednesday, 13 February 2008 : Kamal Mahal, Maurya Sheraton, New Delhi

India’s Eleventh Plan has set a nationwide target of USD 575 billion as the spending need for infrastructure. A sizeable portion of that will be needed by the states of North India, where infrastructure has to improve quickly to make it easier for businesses to operate and for people to live and work.

Across all the sectors of infrastructure and across all constituencies, “infrastructure” is the one-word mantra to faster growth.

As you may be aware, CII has been focusing on various issues pertaining to infrastructure over the years through its flagship event ‘Infranet’. This year with its focus on Infrastructure across the Northern Region, CII Infrastructure and Urban Development Sub–Committee in association with Feedback Ventures as the Knowledge Partner is organising a one-day Conference – Infranet 08 scheduled for Wednesday, 13 February 08 from 1000 hrs (Registration : 0915 hrs) to 1800 hrs at the Kamal Mahal, Maurya Sheraton, Sardar Patel Marg, New Delhi.

The problems in infrastructure are well known. What is not so well-known is replicable solutions from government agencies and private providers that have worked in another part of the country.

The objective of the conference is to find sustainable solutions and answers that facilitate coordinated investment by both the private and government sectors. Sector-by-sector, the sessions will explore what has worked, and how to replicate it. The event would focus on some critical issues like energy, urban development, and transport.

I am writing to you to take advantage of this unique Conference. A brief program overview is attached for your ready reference. You are requested to confirm your company’s participation through the enclosed Reply form.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,
Gopal Sarma
Conference Chairman

Workshop on “Import Export Documentation – Best Practices”

Workshop on “Import Export Documentation – Best Practices”
15-16 February 2008: CMA Tower, Auditorium, A-2E, Sector-24, NOIDA

Confederation of Indian Industry is pleased to announce a Two Days Workshop on Import Export Documentation – Best Practices on 15 – 16 February 2008 at CMA Auditorium, Noida.

Imports and Exports involve heavy documentation. The banks deal in documentation and not goods. The licensing authorities grant licenses or disburse incentives on the basis of documents. The customs allow clearances on the basis of documents. The buyers or sellers abroad need precise documents or need precise instructions regarding documents. Indeed, most performances have to be documented accurately.

The trouble with documentation is that quite often, what is done cannot be undone. For example, amending a customs document after clearance is next to impossible. It is difficult to retrieve documents transmitted to banks or buyers or sellers. So, there is every need to do it right the first time.
