Established in April 2023, Arthshodh, the Research Cell of the Department strives to foster research collaboration among students across all departments of the college. One of the major achievements of the cell was to conduct an extensive all-India primary survey to assess the educational impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic. The survey was conducted online and the research findings point towards significant negative effects of the pandemic on learning outcomes and mental health of undergraduate students. Additionally, students have been conducting extensive research using macroeconomic data sets, providing exposure to pan-all India and countrywide data sets.
A series of online lectures were conducted by faculty members of our college to inculcate research skills, to develop interest and awareness about research among students, and to develop their research acumen. Details of these sessions are as follows:
