Lahore School of Economics wins 1st position in Policy Case Competition

A team of senior year students from the BSc Economics and Finance Program competed in Kinnaird College's Policy Case Competition at the Annual Economics Tutorial alongside other prestigious universities. The students were Ameera Khan, Fizza Rahman, Maria Syed and Muhammad Musa Faraz.

In this year's competition, the policy brief was based on the government's notion of "Creating 10 million jobs in the next 5 years". The team from Lahore School of Economics devised a framework based on the government's 11 point agenda targeting labour-centric sectors.

Based on this framework, the team developed programs such as "Imran Khan Brigade" (an initiative to promote education, health and sustainability), "Darakht Ugao Paisay Banao", "Online Platforms for Informal Sectors", "Promoting technopreneurship" and "Improving agro-industrial policies for SMEs" which were judged to be creative, pragmatic and sustainable.
