Conferences and Workshops

Successfully presented my research paper at the Research Scholars' Day Conference organised by the DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SCIENCE , IIT KANPUR. The conference proved to be a confluence of ideas, featuring diverse subject experts, interesting insights, and honest feedback. I am extremely grateful to Dr Wasim Ahmad for taking the time from his busy schedule to engage with my work. I also thank Saurav Kumar for his insightful comments as discussant, and Dr Hargungeet Singh for chairing the session and offering helpful suggestions. This conference would not have been as memorable without the hospitality and support offered by fellow scholars and friends, especially Aqueel Ahmad (who ensured I had a bed to sleep and food to eat for that extra night), Abhisek Mohanty (whom I troubled a lot for these photographs), Annesha RoyChowdhury, Aakriti Aggarwal, Ushmeet Kaur, Shiv Ratan Tiwari, and a whole bunch of people whom I didn't get a chance to meet personally. The sense of vibe and camaraderie amongst the students was unparalleled.
