Message from the President, Indian Economic Asssociation

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings to the all Members of IEA, Executive Committee Members, Vice President, Joint Secretaries, General Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. Anil Kumar Thakur, formers Presidents of the IEA and friends of IEA.

Let me begin with profound thanks to the Executive Committee Members and the members of Association for your support and efforts to make the working of Association easy and supportive. Needless to say that without your support, the Association would not have progressed the way it has during the last few years.

Let me welcome Professor R. Radhakrishna, Chairman of Centre for Economic and Social Studies, Hydarabad. We thank Prof. Radhakrishna for accepting to be the President of the 99th Annual Conference 2016, to be held in Trirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Prof Radhakrishna is an internationally known Economist of repute. Beside being a teachers, he has served in several capacities - as Vice-Chancellor of the University; Director of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Studies, Mumbai;Member Secretary of the ICSSR; Chairman of National Statstical Commission, and many more contributions in many other capacities. His association with IEA as conference President will enhance the status of the Association.

I must also mention here that the Association has enhanced the per-conference activities by organising several Regional conferences, which are quite useful to the regional associations, particularly to the young faculty. I congratulate the offce bearers of the Regional Associations for taking the initiative for such conferences and seminars. I feel sorry that I could not attend these conferences.

I must bring this message to an end now. But I must mention about the big task before the Association, as the 100th year of the Association is approaching fast. The Association should take early initiative to plan the activities during the centenary year in 2017, involving all former presidents and other distinguished academicians in the country.

This year 2016 Conference will be held in Tirupati. I am quite sure that with your support and cooperation, it will also be as successful as the earlier conferences.

Thank you once again for your cooperation. Hope to see you on December 27, 2016 in Tirupati.

Sukhadeo Thorat
IEA President and
Editor-in-Chief, IEJ

MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE PRESIDENT

Dear Colleagues/ Fellow members,

I am greatly elated to be the president of pre-centenary IEA Annual Conference to be held during 27th-29th December 2016 in Sri Venkataswar University, Tirupati.

IEA is one of the oldest and biggest academic association in India having 5000 plus members drawn from wide spectrum—from policy makers, academicians and graduate students. In addition to the annual mega event (Annual Conference), IEA organises a variety of academic activities in economic discipline: workshops and seminars at both national and regional levels. It also encourages and organises state-level chapters which are labelled as state economic associations. Its annual conference is a mega event drawing 2000 plus members and 300 plus papers on select economic themes which are to be published in multi-volume conference issue of Indian Economic Journal.

It also publishes monographs and edited volume on selected themes. The conference themes always have eminence current relevance focusing on frontier areas of economic research. They have a mix up economic theory and current economic problems of India. The 99th Annual Conference is going to discuss the macro economic performance of Indian economy such as savings & investment, economic growth & inﬂation, federal public fnance, international trade & balance of payment, banking and agriculture growth. All these topics are of great current economic relevance and both economist and common man have equal interest in them.

I congratulate the Department of Economics and the administration of Sri Venkatswar University for their initiative to organise the 99th Annual Conference of IEA. I also congratulate Prof. Sukhadeo Thorat, president, Dr. Anil Kumar Thakur,General Secretary and Treasurer and other offce bearers of the Association for their resolve to hold the same in Tirupati. I was very much impressed with the discipline shown by the participants and enormous energy and effort put up by the offce bearers of the Association during the 98th Annual Conference held at CESS, Hyderabad. I wish the same spirit will prevail among them even in the forthcoming annual conference at Tirupati.

Finally, I wish the 99th IEA Annual Conference would be a great success paving the way for the grand centenary celebration to be held during December 2017.

With best wishes
R. Radhakrishna

Dear Friends,

I would now like to invite you all to the forthcoming 99th Annual Conference of the IEA that is being held at SriVenkateswara (S.V.) University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, as usual from 27th—29th December.

I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. A. Damodaram, Vice Chancellor of S.V. University and Chief Patron of this conference for this benevolent gesture. His personal request in Hyderabad and now too his taking personal interest in everything for the success of the conference is not something one sees everyday from the Vice Chancellor that is indeed exemplary and my heartfelt thanks to him for his able personal guidance.

Furthermore, I would also like to thank here Prof. M. Devarajulu, Registrar of SV University and a very active life member of the IEA family for his repeated assurance to me that he will take personal care of everything too and make this 99th conference a grand success. Thanks are also due to Prof. R. Radhakrishna, Chairman CESS, who very graciously accepted to be the Conference President for this year’s conference.
