ECOLIBRIUM, the Economics Department Society of PGDAV College is a very dynamic body that keeps organising competitions, seminars, talks etc. to keep students updated with economic developments and give them real world exposure.

The highly anticipated Economics Department’s offi cial ‘Freshers’ Welcome’ programme was held on 3rd September, 2015. The Principal, Dr M. M. Goyal, welcomed the freshers and spoke about the scope of economics and the importance of teacher-student interaction. Dr Pratibha Agarwal, the teacher-in-charge of Economics Department noted the significance of the occasion and encouraged the students to work and follow their dreams. The new students also got the opportunity to showcase their talents and creativity.

On 8th October, 2015, Ecolibrium organised an intra department competition called ‘Understanding Newspaper,’ commencing with the paper presentation on the topic ‘Price Of Development’. The motive of this competition was to make the students read, analyse and understand economics and finance related news.

The topic referred to the conflict between RBI and the Finance Ministry regarding the interest rate and the students followed the issue closely for the presentation. Dwelling upon the theory, practical aspects and policy implications of the topic, the competition was an enriching experience for all the students. The judges for the event Dr Dolly Narula and Dr. Ashwini Mahajan also presented their views on the topic unveiling its various intricacies. The judges also welcomed the enthusiasm displayed by the students and hoped that they would maintain their keen interest in macroeconomic policy. The event concluded with Dr Pratibha Agarwal announcing the results and congratulating the winners.
