Jalandhar September 13 (Jaswinder Singh Azad)- Under the aegis of Apeejay Education, Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar leaves no stones unturned when it comes to provide quality education. Since its establishment, it is known for its unique and creative teaching practices which makes the learning fun and educative at the same time. Keeping this in mind, the Economic Forum of the college organised ‘Mehfil-e-Economics‘ with a goal to introduce the students with the factual knowledge of economics but in entertaining way where students can be pro- active and that includes interaction as well.
Principal Dr. Neerja Dhingra while presenting her views about this event said that Mrs. Sushma Paul Berlia (Chairperson, Apeejay Education) is always a source of inspiration for us and she herself being a successful business woman inspires and motivates us to practice such teaching methodologies that are fun and educative at the same time. After attending the event, Dr. Dhingra said that the event should have been named Ecotainment as the students had lot of fun in the programme but they learnt about the principles and theories of Economics as well.
Dr. Supreet Talwar, Head, Department of Economics addressing the Principal Dr. Neerja Dhingra, said, “With your inspiration, our department is always encouraged and inspired to do something creative and I hope that we will always get your guidance in the future too.”
The event opened with the recitation of poem titled – Ishq-e- Economics by Riya and Manya
The event opened with the recitation of poem titled – Ishq-e- Economics by Riya and Manya (Bsc Economics Semester 5th). The poem expressed that even the soft emotions as love and affection can be expressed using the jargons of Economics. This was followed by Kashm-a-kash, in which several scenes/photographs from the national and international cinema were shown to the students and questions were asked on the basis of the same.
Also, the students- Shreya Agarwal, Lakshita Joshi, Aditya Bhasin, Chirag Relan, Vanshika Arora, Purnima Narsingh and Kavya dramatised a street play that was centralised on the basic issues that are prevalent in Punjab and overall India. The play was so-well enacted that everyone was left in awe afterwards. It is worth mentioning that the entire programme was smoothly run with the brilliant and flawless anchoring done by the students- Bhavini and Anmol(Bsc Economics Semester 5th).
Principal Dr. Neerja was joyous to see such initiatives taken by the faculty members of the college. She appreciated the efforts of Dr. Supreet Talwar and Dr. Simkee Dev for ensuring the creative learning process and teaching methodologies. Addressing the students, she said that she is happy to see the enthusiasm of the students and inspired them to keep up with the good work and shine in both academics and extra curricular activities.
