The country is sending five Union Ministers, three Chief Ministers and Ministers from several other states to WEF this time.
The five-day meeting, beginning January 20, will explore how to re-launch growth, harness new technologies and strengthen social and economic resilience, according to the WEF. The global meeting will see participation by nearly 3,000 leaders from over 130 countries, including 350 governmental leaders.
