social events

It works to encourage intra-student body interactions through fun mixers and stress-busting sessions, with the aim of making Economics accessible to the entire student body, not just economics students.. It would also entail establishing an intra-society relationship by organizing team bonding and growth-inducing events.

academic events

One of the events that will be organized by this team is the Ashoka University Paper Presentation Competition. Our aim is to make it an event that is student-driven; one that highlights research and academic rigor from students enrolled in undergraduate programs at institutes across the country.The idea behind having this event is to encourage critical thinking and academic writing and to use the two to foster engagement with and a wider discussion of the crucial economic issues of the day. The team behind this event will work actively to manage logistics, encourage participation, and market the competition.
