Revival of growth in vital sectors of economy will be the focus of discussions in the two-day economic editors conference beginning in New Delhi Tuesday. The conference to be inaugurated by the Finance Minister Mr Pranab Mukherjee will also hold discussions on efficient and transparent implementation of flagship programmes for ensuring inclusive growth.<br/> The National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme and other infrastructural projects to lift the rural economy will also be deliberated upon in the conference organized by the Press Information Bureau. The exit of financial packages, more stimuli for employment intensive sectors will be at the center of discussions in the conference. A proposal to this effect is already under consideration of the government. The state of agriculture, which is likely to register negative growth due scant monsoon rain and steps taken to curb rise in food prices are also likely to hog the limelight in the talks.<br/> The conference gains special importance as the economy recovers from the impact of the global economic crisis. Our Correspondent reports that with economy estimated to grow around 6.5 per cent this fiscal, the foreign direct investments have picked up and several sectors in the industry particularly financial and Real Estate have started registering healthy growth.
