About the event

Established in 1954, the Department of Economics-Patan Multiple Campus (DECON-PMC) is the oldest department of Tribhuvan University in Nepal. As per national goal and mission of highly qualified and critical human resource development, DECON-PMC has been running M.A. Economics program and Bachelor program since 1990. In this regard, the department largely conduct teaching and learning activities to 1000 students of M.A. Economics and 300 students of B.A. economics per annual academic calendar, along with research activities, dissemination programs and peer reviewed journal publications. the Economic Journal of Development Issues(EJDI) is available in Nepal NEPJOL.

Over the last decade, the global economy has suffered from macro-economic instability and growth fluctuation due to regional wars and COVID19. The world has adopted macro-economic recovery shock for stability and growth. Its reflection can be found in the national economy as mild recession. This critical context is a key concern of the department for exploring alternative fine-tuned evidence based organic solution for macro-economic stabilization and economic growth rather than inappropriate imported prescription. Therefore, the department aims to create a departmental flagship platform to the economists, social scientists, policy makers, business professionals, emerging economists, political economists, etc. for critical discussion on development issues, sharing new scientific ideas, and interact with well-known academics and policy makers network. For this good caused objective, the department offers the first flagship event, First International Conference on Economics in 2024 (FICE 2024).
