ECONOMIC CONVENTION
Conceived by the HSNC Board, The idea of the International Economic Convention for college students was mooted way back in 1993, by Dr. I. G. Patel, the then Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and followed up by Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India. It was due to consistent efforts of Dr. (Mrs.) Indu Shahani, former Sheriff of Mumbai, Dr. Ram Tarneja, former Managing Director of Bennet Coleman, to make International Economic Convention materialized and reached great heights, by attracting participation from the colleges of the Board as well as other colleges affiliated to the University of Mumbai & International Universities such as West Georgia and Bulgaria to name a few. The crucial impetus of the Convention has been to provide students with a platform in which the principles that govern economic policies and their impact on the national and international scenario could be analyzed, studied, and debated.

The Three-day HSNCB’s 30th International Economics Convention was hosted by R.D.& S.H. National College, on the theme “Exploring The Changing Dynamics Of Economies Through Digitalization” on 10th, 12th & 13th December 2022. Seven National and one international Teams participated in this research-oriented convention.

Ravindra Ramchandra Bangar, IRS Commissioner CGST, Navi Mumbai, and Dr. Tirthankar Patnaik, Chief Economist at the National Stock Exchange of India, were the Chief Guests and Keynote Speakers, delivering their Keynote Addresses on current trends in the Indian economy to set the intellectual and academic note for the entire convention. The other esteemed dignitaries gracing the inauguration were the Immediate Past President, Shri Kishu Mansukhani; Trustee HSNC Board, Ms Maya Shahani; and Secretary, HSNC Board, Principal Dinesh Panjwani.

The Chief Guest for the Valedictory Ceremony was HSNC University Provost, Trustee, Mr. Niranjan Hiranandani. From this year onwards, i.e., from the 30th International Economic Convention, a new Rotating Trophy was added, which is the D.M.
