CONCEPT NOTE:
Economics, at its very heart, is the study of people. It seeks to explain what drives human behaviour, decisions and reactions when faced with difficulties or successes. Economics is a discipline which combines politics, sociology, psychology and history. It lays the foundation for other disciplines such as business and management and public policy. An economics degree gives you a high level of mathematical and statistical skills and the ability to apply economic principles and models to problems in business, finance and the public sector.
A career in Economics will help you understand social aspects such as choices, optimum resource mobilization, policies, unemployment, poverty and much more ranging from micro to macro level. It will prepare you with analytical and problem-solving skills regarding everyday life decisions.

As Abhijeet Banerjee and Esther Duflo have said “Economists are more like plumbers; we solve problems with a combination of intuition grounded in science, some guesswork aided by experience, and a bunch of pure trial and error.”
The Department of Economics, cordially invites all interested to attend the Webinar on 23rd July 2021 at 2.00-3.00pm.
