I still remember my female servant who used to work at my house in India. She once remarked that babu ji (babu used to call someone whom you want to interact in india and ji is used as a token of respect) ‘tommarow i will be absent and on my behalf my daughter will come. I inquired would not it will impact on her study performance upon which she said ‘ in either way I am not going to make her any collector or engineer. She is most likely to do the same work which I am doing right now .At that time I saw this in terms of humanistic way. But later when I figured out the exact reasons and tendencies towards this approach of people was related something towards the Economics factors of the country. It initiated my interest in seeking social problems in the realm of Economics. Economics was my favourite subject in my school days .I was always the kind of people who wanted to do well for the countries growth and learning economics helped me to understand the nuiances of the factors which leads upto the growth of any countries. I was fascinated towards determining the price index and calculating the growth domestic product which is the indicator of growth of any countries. So i enrolled myself as a student of Economics honours in university level education. There i met the students from the different streams i:e political honours students who used to stressed upon the religious aspect which causes hinderance towards growth of the nation and from the English literature student I heard the word “ The survival of the fittest. I was open towards the extra co curricular activities so as a reward I found myself luckier as a Participant , Yale Young India Global Scholars Program. Where i connected my previous understanding of social issues and their relationship with Economics .My reading of economic methods particularly relating to india’s religious matter ended in a complete analysis on how religion attempts to explain irrationality in economic decision-making. I was delighted to meet a Harvard scholar. Who helped me in my essay there. The Harvard scholar was a very refine person with generous attitude. I got motivation from him and went on to conduct my research with his assistance .And composed Econometrics research paper. The research was quite a challenging task it required all my understanding of Economics and the knowledge of all the reading from the article , journals, blog, news, autobiography, quote from particular individual and text book knowledge etc. I applied my knowledge of mathematical techniques for the analysis of Economic. These factors which were contributing towards my analysis of research work were the foundation upon which I was managing to conduct my research work. There in my research period I often tend to recall my first conversation with my servant which I had in my house which I believe has paved the way for me getting into the field of Economics I still recall her afterwords when she said in India there are not many who are willing to accept women in a domestic work place. Those two women in my life played a major part in my taking up the field of Economics. I was later introduced to a girl named jaya who was a rular teenage girl . Who shared her experience of how the absence of sanitary products leads towards the health related disease in female section of the society. I was concentrated toward finding the solution to these problems and went on to gather primary data , conducted surveys, workshops etc. I found there were lots of food wastage in government run institutions. I explored the reason behind these issues related to female section of society and through my research I came up to the conclusion that lack of Education was the prominent reason behind all of these. While doing this i appreciated the relevance of textbook economic principle to improve the lives at a MICRO scale. I approached the government officials and discussed the relevance of wastage of food and explored policy which can come in effect to the development of the nation and drafted potential solutions.

My journey into Economics.
