The Humanities and Social Sciences Department at IIT Gandhinagar hosted its first-ever ‘𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀’ 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲’ on January 30 and 31. Designed as a forum for dialogue and collaboration, the meet brought together academic researchers from the central Gujarat region to engage in thoughtful discussions on education, gender, water, and public policy, areas of growing national importance. Opening remarks by Prof Deepak Singhania, highlighted the value of interdisciplinary engagement and the need to build stronger academic networks across institutions. Prof Praharsh Patel explained how the intent was to foster local collegial community of scholars where scholars can build discourses by academic engagements. The programme featured a series of informative seminars from academics from IIMA, Ahmedabad University, IITGN, and IRMA, offering diverse perspectives on contemporary economic questions. Prof Tarun Jain (IIM Ahmedabad), in his keynote address, examined gender gaps in science education through an innovative analytical lens. Using large-scale assessment data, he showed how the increasing quantitative framing of science questions, rather than subject content alone, contributes to changing gender performance patterns across grade levels, raising important questions for pedagogy and assessment design. In the second keynote session, Prof J V Meenakshi (IIIT Delhi) presented a critical review of groundwater management interventions in India. Her analysis highlighted how technology-driven solutions, such as micro-irrigation, often fall short of conserving groundwater due to rebound effects and equity concerns, calling for more evidence-based and realistic policy approaches. Together, the sessions reflected IITGN’s commitment to fostering an open, collaborative platform where rigorous, policy-relevant research can inform both academic discourse and societal outcomes. #IITGN #IIMAhmedabad #IIITDelhi #EconomistsOfIndia #EconomicsResearch #IndianEconomy #PolicyResearch #PublicPolicy #DevelopmentEconomics #AppliedEconomics #EducationEconomics #GenderAndEducation #ScienceEducation #GroundwaterManagement #InterdisciplinaryResearch #AcademicCollaboration #ResearchForImpact #EvidenceBasedPolicy @EduMinOfIndia | @PIB_India | @PTI_News | @iitdelhi | @IIMAhmedabad
