Kautilya Parishad – Activities
in
Academic Year 2016-17
Convenor – Ms. Geeta Ahuja Student Representative – Shubham Dogra
The Kautilya Parishad organized a number of
academic and educational programmes in the last academic year under the convenorship
of Ms. Geeta Ahuja. She was helped by Mr. Gautam Jha and Ms. Deepika Sharma. At
the beginning of the academic year, Kautilya Parishad, in association with The
Research and Consultancy Cell, organized a talk on “Scope of Research in Economics” which was delivered by Prof. Chawla. In the month of
September an ECO-QUIZ was organized for Economics Discipline students of
BA (Prog.) which saw substantial student participation. Owing to the large
popularity of the ECO-QUIZ, it was organized once more on March 23-24,
2017, which again saw active student participation. The top three teams were
also given cash prizes apart from certificates, on both the occasions.
The Kautilya Parishad also organized two talks
in the months of March and April. One talk on career counseling titled ‘How to Face Interviews and Career
Opportunities after Graduation’ was organized on March 10, 2017 by Mr.
Gurmeet Singh of TIME Education Pvt. Ltd. Another talk on ‘Overview of Indian Economy in the Current Context: A discussion of
GST’ was organized on April 5, 2017 by Mr. Ankur Jain of TIME Education
Pvt. Ltd. Both these talks saw good participation from the students and were
very informative for them.
As has been a tradition, Kautilya Parishad
organizes a Public Speaking Competition every year. This year the
programme was held on March 31, 2017. 10 students spoke on issues affecting the
Indian Economy, ranging from demonetization to BREXIT. The top three speakers
were given cash prizes. A consolation prize was also given. All the
participants were given certificates of participation. Kautilya Parishad will
continue to organize more such programmes in the future
also.
