Business Matters: Development vs Tradition in India 05 Mar 15

Thu, 5 Mar 15

In the third of our special live programmes from Chennai in India we explore the impact of rapid development on the region and its people. Presenter Fergus Nicoll heads to the seaside town of Nagapattinam to find out how the fishing industry is faring ten years after the Indian Ocean tsunami which led to tragedy on its shores. We also hear from millionaire Nandan Nilekani, the co-founder of Infosys. He tells us that entrepreneurs can help grow the Indian economy. BBC Correspondent Theo Leggett heads Dehradun in Northern India to learn about the struggle to retain traditional agricultural techniques - in the face of GM seeds and hi-tech practices. Also - our reporter Vishala Sri-Pathma discovers how young Indian couples are navigating arranged marriages and dowries. Our live guests this morning are N. Sathyamoorthy, director of the Observer Research Foundation and Hema Venkatraman, an architect and blogger.
