The New Era- Knowing How and Why to Research

Economics Study Center (ESC) is delighted to successfully complete the first episode of "Talk Research". We want to thank Professor M M Akash, PhD for sharing his PhD thesis : "Impact of Modern Variety Rice Technology on Rural Factor Markets (Land and Labour) " in front of the students of Economics. The program was held on 14th February, 2016, at room no. 4045 (Arts building).

Talk Research is a new initiative taken by ESC. In this program series, renowned academicians and researchers of Economics both from our department and renowned organizations/institutions will share their research experiences with the students they had during their PhD/MPhil or any notable research work.
