DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

CDS started a new Master s Programme in Applied Economics during the academic year 2012-13. The programme is affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and within a matter of three years it has found a place as one of the top Master s level courses in Economics in the country. This is evidenced by the fact that the course has attracted considerable interest from very discerning graduates from some of the best universities in the country and that too in large numbers. The course has some distinctive features, which transform someone who has pursued it into a well-rounded economist with a strong foundation in economic theory and quantitative techniques and also the application of economic theory to a wide range of economic problems of developing countries. In this way the training that our students receive makes them eminently suitable for a wide array of careers in government and private sector, in industry and academia, in journalism and in civil society organizations. Careful but rather sophisticated analysis of empirical data, which are at the same time theoretically informed, is an important hallmark of our training at the Centre. Finally, a word about our graduates who are in the process of entering the labour market. All of them have earned their place in the course after a rigorous and competitive nation-wide entrance examination. Further, they have continued to work very hard, possess excellent communication skills, both oral and written and also can be trusted with any kind of responsibility. I wish the entire batch the very best in their future endeavours and without any hesitation would welcome them to our own centre should they decide to do further studies in economics. Professor Sunil Mani Programme Co-ordinator.

CDS taught me two lessons. First, anything is worth studying if it is based on observation of life around us. Second, we should be open-minded about method. CDS in the 1980s when I was a student gathered together a group of methodological liberals. They were receptive to history, statistics, economics, anthropology, Marxism, neoclassicism, and subalterns. Such mixture did not descend into chaos because individually, the faculty, and the visitors, were bright and creative minds. Looking back, it is trust in one s observation and methodological liberalism that mattered most to my evolution as an academic. I imbibed both qualities in CDS. I hope the tradition continues.

R Nagaraj, Professor, IGIDR, Mumbai

Before CDS, I was searching for my calling and passion. At CDS, I found it. This was the gift of Professor K.N. Raj, an intellectual giant, and his wife, Sarsamma, who generously adopted my wife, Jyothsna, and me into their lives. Dr. Raj taught me the importance of the highest standards of intellectual integrity while relentlessly pursuing a scholarly investigation

research is a slow process, he said . (is insistence on folding history and politics into economic policy discussion have enriched my research immeasurably. I had the great good fortune also of being mentored and welcomed by Professors Iqbal and Leela Gulati. Professors A. Vaidyanathan and T.N. Krishnan were always there to discuss research and policy ideas.

CDS is where I learnt my economics. If "It is a method, rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of mind, a technique of thinking" - as John Maynard Keynes said - the Centre helped me acquire it. With some of the country's finest economists as teachers, liberal intellectual environment, and a thoughtful student body, studying at the Centre was an intense and rewarding experience.

CDS fostered a dynamic and adaptive learning environment with a thrust on academic rigour and honed my skills in economic analysis. Importantly, I learnt the importance of nurturing institutions in the role that each one has to play in ensuring the dynamism of institutions. It also taught me to be guided by a sense of social responsibility in whatever I do. I carried these learning to my classrooms-teaching management students, training corporate executives and government officials. CDS academic legacy has a indelible influence in my professional advancement. J. Dennis Rajakumar,

Director, EPW Research Foundation, Mumbai

For many decades the unique academic programme of CDS has turned out graduates who have gone on to occupy senior positions in a vast number of areas -- academics of course, and financial institutions, civil society and the media.

I owe my conviction in Kenneth Boulding quote that 'Theories without facts may be barren, but facts without theories are meaningless' to my training at CDS with an integrated perspective on these two dimensions.

I have great memories of my time at CDS , for the camaraderie and friendships that the community provided. I was privileged to be amongst a group of brilliant minds, committed to finding solutions to India's numerous development challenges. Being a Malayalee, I was also proud to be associated with a place of academic excellence like CDS, in my own home state!

CDS is more than an institution that taught me Economics. It taught me to think and empathize with the issues and problems that affect the lives of the common people in rural and urban India. The professors and seniors at CDS along with the CDS community and the various discussion forums outside the campus provided an intellectually stimulating environment to the young mind.
