ECONOMICS
Economics is the most dynamic and ever-evolving social science, filling the contours between the society, the government and all the sectors- from IT to agriculture that drive a State. It has garnered immense relevance over the years and is at the forefront of academic research, discussion and debate ubiquitously.
