Commenting on the 2025 National Conference, Dibyendu Chakraborty, Chairman of the Conference Committee, said, “India must generate employment opportunities, particularly for its youth, to fortify its economic base. Modern economic and production activities depend heavily on energy, with energy and economic growth intertwined in a complex way. As the economy expands, so does the demand for energy.
