  • Background Note
    Digital Conference on B20 Global Dialogue in India 1400 –1815 hrs (IST): 7 October 2020 Background Note 1. Overview of Key G20 Engagement Groups G20 is an important global forum that promotes multilateralism through constructive debates, discussions, and dialogues. In past 10 years, G20 at the Leaders’ Summit level has gained more acceptance and the scope of its agenda has widened significantly. In addition to issues of economic growth, financial stability, and international financial architecture, G20 has gradually covered development issues including Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the recent years. Besides the contributions by Finance and Sherpa Tracks led by the host governments, G20 process has benefitted enormously from the inputs provided by different Engagement Groups such as T20, B20, S20, W20, C20, among others. The three engagement groups of T20, B20 and S20 representing three important pillars of G20 agenda hold great relevance. In a holistic sense, T20 for academics and scholars, B20 for business leaders and entrepreneurs and S20 for scientific fraternity and innovators together in the G20 countries have been representing the critical intellectual mass of G20 manifested in series of policy recommendations, reports, policy briefs and other forms of publications. The specific roles and contributions of these groups to the G20 Summits are as follows: o Business 20 (B20) Established in 2010, B20 represents the interests, opportunities, and challenges in the business and industrial sectors in G20 countries and in the world. The group includes business leaders from various member countries and leading business organisations across the world. Many a time, private sector issues and concerns are not properly articulated in policy circles hence remain unaddressed.

Today world expects India to play a leadership role and lead the economic growth. It is really energizing to be on a platform like Yi, comprising of the youth who dream of a great India and believe in themselves to institute a change in the economical and social scenario of the country. The young Indians of today in various fields have made us proud. This new generation has stamped its identity in all walks of life – they are writing books, making films, sculpting, drawing; they are equally at ease with contributions in medicines, technology and communications; they are excelling in performing arts and sports, they are traveling to space to bring to mankind hitherto unheard of information and discoveries. Dreams are important as they inspire and drive people to achieve things. Every young person should have a dream to be a leader and work towards converting that dream into reality.
