Econvista 2016
Sponsorship Proposal

The Department of Economics

Lady Shri Ram College for Women is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher
learning for women in India. LSR continually strives for excellence in the sphere of
education, emphasizing on holistic learning in tandem with its philosophy, Leadership with
Social Responsibility.
The Department of Economics at LSR holds an unparalleled repute in India. The Department
in order to encourage and motivate learning beyond the classroom organises regularly
interactive sessions with eminent scholars in the field. Some of such guest speakers have
been Madame Christine Lagarde (Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund),
Dr. Poonam Gupta (Senior Economist at the World Bank), Mr P. Sainath (Founding Editor
of Peoples Archive of Rural India, PARI), Dr. Subir Gokarn (Director of Research at
Brookings, India), Dr. Atul Sood (Associate Professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New
Delhi), Dr. Nachiket Mor (Currently a Member of Central Board of Reserve Bank of India)
and Prof. Pulapre Balakrishnan (Former Director of Centre of Development Studies).
The annual students Symposium, Econvista, organized by the Department of Economics
provides a platform, wherein some of the most innovative and intellectual minds are brought
together to engage in discussion, interpretation and application of policies and economic
theories. Econvista aims to extend beyond the realm of Economics to deal with critical
economic, social and political issues within an integrated framework. Given its immense
popularity as providing an opportunity for applied learning, the event has been sponsored by
very many reputed organizations in the past.
The transformation of the Econvista from local to national and then to international have
been a matter of pride for us. Some of the highlights of this journey are as follows:

Econvista 2014
This National Level Economics Symposium witnessed participation from nine outstation
colleges and several Delhi University colleges. Dr. Isher J. Ahluwalia, chairperson of the
Board of Governors of Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations,
made the Symposium special with her gracious presence as the chief guest.

Econvista 2015
The event went International after being immensely successful at the national level. This
Symposium had many prominent personalities as Guest speakers like Prof. Deepak Nayyar,
former Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India, Mrs. Shikha Sharma,
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Axis Bank, Dr. Rajat Kathuria, Director
and Chief Executive at Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations. It
also had participation not only from nine national colleges, but also from international
colleges, such as Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and Kathmandu
College of Management (KCM).

Econvista, 2016
OBJECTIVE
Econvista 2016 with its new non-competitive initiative, Ideas Forum, aims to connect and
particularly take further the interdisciplinary approach to teaching-learning of Economics.
The incorporation of Ideas Forum will therefore take Econvista 2016 from being a two day
to a three day event.
In an attempt to broaden the scale of Econvista 2016, we look forward to participation from
international colleges such as Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Nanyang
Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore
Management University (SMU), Kathmandu Management College (KMC), Lahore School of
Economics and Aga Khan University.
