Subodh Mathur’s Post

Greetings Everyone! I'm Chayan Kumar Guin, currently pursuing my Master's in Economics at Jadavpur University, Kolkata. My journey with Economics has been extensive and transformative, marked by many ups and downs. Over time, I have gained a deep connection with the subject, which has profoundly influenced my personal and academic development. Throughout this session, I have shared my experiences and the challenges I've encountered. Economics has not only shaped my academic pursuits but has also played a crucial role in molding my character and perspective. This journey has been filled with cyclical fluctuations, mirroring the very essence of economic cycles, and has been instrumental in my growth as an individual. https://lnkd.in/eb-TWqTb

Hello, my name is Uddiptya Bharali and I am currently pursuing a degree in Economics Honours. I am from a small town called Udalguri in the BTR region of Assam. My decision to study economics stemmed from a profound curiosity about how economies function. I have been captivated by the abstract models and theories that economists use to explain and predict economic behavior and phenomena. The fascination has only grown as I have delved deeper into subjects such as microeconomic theory, game theory, and econometrics. In the future, I aspire to contribute to the field of economics through research focused on theoretical modeling. My goal is to pursue advanced studies and engage in research in economic theory. https://lnkd.in/giyfCWgH

I am Priyanshu Chavda, and I possess a profound passion for economics. I aspire to pursue research in the future. Pursuing a career in economics was not my initial intention, but it seems to have been destined for me. Additionally, I aim to crack the Indian Economic Services (IES) exam and contribute to nation-building through policymaking. I love spending time reading books. My interests also include History and Geopolitics. https://lnkd.in/eZgGgSU7

I am Cherrie Panwar, currently pursuing MSc Economics at University of Leeds. Here, I share my explorative journey towards Economics, starting from my childhood. I discuss how various factors such as personal interests shaped my path to where I am today. I delve into my experiences and my research on smartphone addiction and binge-watching among young adults. I also highlight my interest in data analytics, which led me to pursue further studies abroad. Moreover, I express my views on the importance of behavioural economics in today's economy and policy-making. Using the example of Delhi's pollution problem, I argue that behavioural economics can enhance environmental policies by considering human habits and biases, leading to more effective interventions for pollution reduction. https://lnkd.in/emHimxrW

Subash Surendran Padmaja writes: Economist: What, why and how? Who Are Economists? From Nobel laureates like Dr. Amartya Sen to influential policymakers like Dr. Gita Gopinath, economists shape our understanding of complex issues. They are not just policymakers or academics; they are also scientists who use rigorous methods to analyze and solve real-world problems. Economics: A Science Economics blends art and science. As scientists, economists prioritize objectivity and reproducibility. They formulate hypotheses, collect data, and employ statistical analysis to draw evidence-based conclusions. A prime example is the work of Nobel laureates Dr. Abhijit Banerjee and Dr. Esther Duflo, who used Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) to inform policy-making. Economics: An Art Despite the scientific approach, economics also involves understanding human behavior. The story of Nokia’s missed opportunity in the smartphone market highlights the importance of integrating insights from anthropology, psychology, and sociology. Interdisciplinary Collaboration The intersection of various disciplines enriches economic analysis. For instance, climate scientists' efforts to highlight global warming gained traction when economists quantified the financial impact, underscoring the vital role of collaboration. Today’s talk underscored that being an economist is about more than just numbers; it’s about understanding and influencing the world through a blend of rigorous science and insightful art. #Economics #ScienceAndArt #Interdisciplinary #PolicyMaking #VidepedSeries #EconomistLife https://lnkd.in/egikVNX6

Get ready for the future! We’re about to drive real change, and registration will open soon. It’s inspiring to see Sindhi student organizations stepping up. Here’s what’s on our agenda: 1. Tackling religious extremism 2. Addressing intra-provincial migration 3. Building unity and countering the hatred between Mohajirs and Sindhis 4. Creating economic opportunities through collaboration 5. Promoting mutual understanding and respect The path ahead is challenging but promising!

Dialogues on Democracy & Development presents, in association with #MazdoorKisanShaktiSangathan, #Episode01 in the series titled "Siddhanth Samvidhan Ke" supported by SOAS University of London. On October 17, 1949, Jivatram Bhagwandas Kripalani applauded the inclusion of Fraternity in the Preamble.  “Again, I come to the great doctrine of fraternity, which is allied with democracy. It means that we are sons of the same God, as the religious would say, but as the mystic would say, that there is one life pulsating through us all, or as the Holy Bible says, ‘We are one of another’”.  Despite the relevance of Fraternity in our Constitution, it is rarely taught in classrooms and almost never discussed in public.   Therefore, with this video, we aim to promote discussion and application, of the forgotten constitutional value of ‘fraternity’ back in our public and social life. We particularly encourage education practitioners, teachers, companies and civil society organizations to use this video as an educational resource to build understanding and promote fraternity - in their schools, colleges, companies, organisations, unions. The aim is to foster inclusivity, empathy, and social cohesion in society. Let's work together to ensure fraternity is woven into the fabric of our collective consciousness. #DialoguesOnDemocracy #ConstitutionOfIndia #Samvidhan #Fraternity Anjor Bhaskar | Sushant Kumar | Mansi Patel | Divya Ahir https://lnkd.in/gCw_RN-v

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920) was an Indian mathematician who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Despite having no formal training in pure mathematics, he developed highly original and unconventional results that astounded even seasoned mathematicians. About Ramanujan: 1. Early Life: Born on December 22, 1887, in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India. Showed a deep interest in mathematics from a young age and was largely self-taught, studying advanced texts such as A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics by G.S. Carr. 2. Discovery by G.H. Hardy: In 1913, Ramanujan wrote a letter to British mathematician G.H. Hardy, sharing some of his groundbreaking results. Hardy recognized his genius and invited him to Cambridge University, where they collaborated. 3. Major Contributions: Developed the Ramanujan Prime, Ramanujan Theta function, and Ramanujan’s Summation. Contributed to the formulation of partition functions, modular forms, and mock theta functions. His work on infinite series, particularly for π, is widely celebrated. 4. Personal Struggles: Suffered from poor health, partly due to the cold climate and dietary challenges in England, as well as the pressures of intense mathematical research. Returned to India in 1919 in declining health and passed away on April 26, 1920, at the age of 32. 5. Legacy: Despite his short life, Ramanujan produced nearly 3,900 results, many of which were later proved correct and influential. The Ramanujan Journal, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, was established to publish research in areas influenced by his work. His birthday, December 22, is celebrated as National Mathematics Day in India. Ramanujan's life story is a testament to his prodigious talent, perseverance, and passion for mathematics, making him one of the greatest mathematicians in history. 4 6 2 5 1 3 8 7 0
