Course Details:
To tackle the challenges of the present time, economists have devised various solutions. Unlike a mathematical problem,
economics does not possess a single 'correct' answer that is universally applicable. By acknowledging the diverse
perspectives of past thinkers, we are inspired to formulate our own unique approaches to address contemporary economic
issues, such as profound inequality, financial crises, and global warming. The success of these efforts would grant more
individuals the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives, while failure could result in considerable hardship. Failure to
access essential food and medication, for instance, could lead to tragic consequences. The responsibility for addressing
these issues extends beyond economists with advanced degrees; it encompasses all of us.
Studying economics equips individuals with a deeper understanding of their surroundings, facilitating comprehension of
fellow individuals, organizations, markets, and governments. This knowledge enables individuals to respond effectively
to the challenges and opportunities that arise when circumstances undergo change.
Economics focuses on the production of graduates morally upright and fully equipped with appropriate toolkit to serve the nation and global community at large.
