Bengaluru Dr. B. R. Ambedkar School of Economics University

BASE is expected to provide necessary support in economic human power to the country and creating an inclusive society through participation of key stake holders in government, public, private and academic institutes.

The focus of the Bengaluru Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics would be to provide state of art learning in Theoretical, Applied Economics and connectivity to other Social Sciences, so that research activities at the School of Economics will be accordingly shaped. The School shall provide knowledge and learning tools for policy development and initiate Public discussions on policies and emerging scenarios in society and economy. Freedom to learn, litheness in teaching and ease in learning leading to androgogy shall be the fundamental model of education.

Bengaluru is strongly emerging as a hub of international business. As a result, the demand for quality manpower with robust training in analytics is strongly felt. We have in Bengaluru quite a few centres that train in economics but possibly could muster the required orientation and faculty flexibility. These have produced good person power but still have stayed far from creating a unique place on the National map. The proposed Bengaluru Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics will fill that important void in the teaching support required for public policies, private trading industries, government agencies and also analysis of evolving trends and patterns in the economy. It is expected to shed light on the implications of various initiatives and activities undertaken by the government, private sector, developments at the regional, national and global level.

Analytical research capacity in the social sciences both to monitor the course of the economic development and society on the one hand, and to guide the futuristic would be of immense value to the society in general. Given the diverse and fast-changing economy of the state and its linkages with the international business, creating that crucial demand for first rate trained developmental personnel. The required analytical power can only be inculcated with rigorous training and that should come from a public institution which is not driven by a profit motive. The BASE is planned to emerge as a School of Excellence in Karnataka but effectively it should serve as a school of excellence in Southern India and for the country as a whole. It shall have to acquire a unique brand name at international level through
