Where Policy Meets Purpose
The primary objective of Vinayaka Mission’s School of Economics & Public Policy (VSEP) is to cultivate upcoming economists, social leaders, and thought leaders equipped with the capacity to address dynamic socio-economic challenges by promoting inclusivity at the local, national and global levels.
Studying Economics and Public Policy at VSEP will play a vital role in nurturing young minds and making them future-ready, not only as employers and entrepreneurs but also as leaders across sectors.
Given the importance of evidence-driven public policy, it is important to train the young generation of economists with an interest in public policy using state-of-the-art methods, and given its objectives, I wish VSEP great success in this regard.
