About Details
Econs - The Economics Club of IIM Kashipur was established to create a community of passionate individuals who are interested in economics and its applications in various fields. Our aim is to provide a platform for students to engage in events related to economics and its impact on society.
The club is open to all students who are interested in economics. We encourage members to participate in our events and activities, and contribute their unique perspectives. Throughout the year, we organize a variety of events such as Filmonomics, Game of Econs, Infographics, Apna Sapna Money Money, Budget Prediction, Arthashastra and Budget Analysis to provide members with opportunities to explore and learn about different aspects of economics, and to help them develop their critical thinking, problem-solving, and public speaking skills. The club also publishes monthly newsletter which includes technical jargons of economics, current affairs and some other related topics.
Through the activities, the club tries to provide the opportunity to explore the student’s interests in economic domain and develop new skills while creating lasting memories.
