Over 150 organisations from across the country today began a 3-day convention on infrastructure financing with a view to draw the government's attention in the run-up to the annual meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
The AIIB's annual meeting will be held in Mumbai on June 25-26.
The convention, held under the aegis of the Working Group on International Financial Institutions here, was addressed by social activists Medha Patkar and Ulka Mahajan, economist Arun Kumar and journalist Sucheta Dalal.
Hitting out at the AIIB, Patkar said, "Though AIIB aims to push infrastructure in Asia including India, they have nothing to do with improving the social and economic status of the poor people of the country,."
