The 8th Annual economics Festival was held on 16th and 17th.Though it was decided to organise the festival as a low key affair considering the situation in Mumbai,students participated from all over Mumbai and made it a grand success.About 50 colleges including the IITMumbai, University post-graduate departments participated in various innovative events.
Ruia College won the trophy for best College winning maximum prizes followed by Acharya and Marathe College.
Students found all events very different and the most popular events were Economics songs with 37 entries and quiz contest with 30 entries from different colleges.
Shri Adi Godrej inaugurated the festival by giving a detailed account of Indias journey since the beginning of planning.
He also outlined the task before us to make India stronger by maintaining the growth momentum.He seemed to be very confident about the ability of our economy to bounce back and expressed confidence that the economic slowdown will be over in about 7-8 months.
This festival is organised with objective of making the youngsters think like economists so that we can create "Leaders in Economics".By looking at the success of the festival we are very confident that our mission will be successful.
I owe the success of this festival to all my young friends from diffent colleges who have tremendous potential.I also owe a great deal to The State Bank of India for extending their support for the festival.
