The Chanakya Economic Forum found its roots in 2014-15, marking the celebratory Golden Jubilee year of MPE Society’s SDM College of Arts Science and Commerce, Honavar. It serves as a haven for students passionate about economics. Throughout each academic year, the forum orchestrates a diverse array of engaging activities, including enlightening guest lectures, insightful budget analyses, and lively celebrations commemorating events like World Population Day. At its core, the forum seeks to ignite curiosity and raise awareness about both national and global economic affairs among its members.
Diverse competitions form the heart of the forum’s activities, ranging from stimulating economics quizzes and thought-provoking essay competitions to creative poster presentations and spirited debates. These competitions not only foster healthy competition but also encourage participants to deepen their understanding of economic concepts and real – world issues. Additionally, students showcase their creativity and innovation through model preparations, articulate their viewpoints in pick-and-speak sessions, and proudly display their small projects.
The crowning moment of each year is the grand valedictory function, where distinguished guests honor the achievements of participants with prestigious medals and certificates. This ceremony serves as a fitting tribute to the hard work and dedication of students throughout the year.
Every year, a new team of enthusiastic students is entrusted with the responsibility of planning and executing these events, ensuring the continuity and vibrancy of the forum. The Chanakya Economic Forum remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a love for economics and providing a platform for intellectual growth and community engagement within the college.
