WHAT WILL
THE PROJECT DO? |
|
Against this
backdrop, CUTS has undertaken a project to
develop a Functional Competition Policy (the
FunComp Project) as an attempt to fill the gap
and help the Government of India to come up
with a Competition Policy that would be
‘implementable’ as against one that is
‘ideal’. The report will be in the form of a
discussion paper, which would highlight the
issues that will lay out a road map for
further research. |
|
How is the
project being implemented? |
|
In order to
implement the project, CUTS has engaged
various experts. The project is been guided by
a Steering Committee which comprises of
eminent persons such as S. Sundar of TERI
(Chairman of the steering committee), Shankar
Acharya of ICRIER, Suman Bery of NCAER, and
Shrawan Nigam and Pronab Sen of the Planning
Commission. The Steering Committee meets at
frequent intervals to review the progress and
decide future action. |
|
What are the
contents of the report? |
|
The report would
cover the competition policy scenario in India
at a macro level as well as at sectoral level.
The report would be structured in the
following manner. |
