Mahatma Gandhi University has got the nod for setting up the Dr K N Raj Centre for Planning and Public Finance, for which the state has sanctioned `50 lakh.
“The government has given the nod for the centre which we had proposed and sanctioned `50 lakh as feeder fund.
It will be a nationallevel centre of excellence in economics,” said Pro-Vice- Chancellor Rajan Varghese.
The Masters programme in Physical Education M PEd has also been restarted.
“We relaunched the programme on Wednesday,” he said.
The post-graduate programmes at the centre will commence this year.
M Phil and PhD programmes are also in the pipeline.
The centre is dedicated to the memory of the late Raj, who was a teacher, economist and member of the Planning Commission.
The centre aims to rearticulate his vision of the planned economy for the benefit of the common man against the backdrop of market-versus-state directed economy.
“There is a dearth for good centres in economics in the state and this will be of national and international repute,” he said.
Focus will be on planning, macroeconomics, and public economics, including fiscal federalism.
Research and consultancy in planning, macroeconomics and public finance, which includes centre- state financial relations and public debt, are also planned.
The aim is to create a centre of excellence in economics, an institution for teaching and research with specialisation in planning and public finance.
It will also be a platform for discussion on economics
