DESCRIPTION :

The Delhi School of Economics is one of India?s premier institutes of higher learning. The school was launched in 1949 by V.K.R.V. Rao¸ with the support of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It grew out of a vision that a newly independent nation¸ which aspired to social and economic progress¸ needed a vibrant centre for advanced studies in the social sciences. The department of economics¸ along with its sister departments of geography and sociology¸ has produced many of the country?s leading academics¸ educators¸ administrators¸ policy makers¸ corporate leaders and journalists. Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen¸ Prime Minister Manmohan Singh¸ and the late Sukhamoy Chakravarty¸ one of the architects of India?s Five Year Plans¸ have all taught here.
