Economics society was the most important part of my college life and I''m privileged to be a part of it for 3 years. It not only helped me to develop myself as an individual, but also provided me with greater opportunities and exposures which made me realise what my potentials are.
Testimonial by Alumnus 3: Shrey Mahendra (Joint Secretary 2018-19, Secretary 2019-20) My experience in the society was a combination of wisdom and innocence which is unnaturally endearing. I did not know I could push my limits to such an extent to organize all the events. I would not have known what skills and talents I possess if I hadn''t been a part of Economics Society. I joined the society late, but better late than never.

Being a part of the Economics Society of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College for continuous three years was a proud phase of my life. This society has guided me how to have proper delegation and decentralisation of work, how students can work in a team and organise best National Level Events. All our mentors are extremely friendly, talented, and wonderful people. They have taught us at each and every point and helped us to achieve something extraordinary and hone our skills in all possible ways.
