Samvaad – The Literary Discussion Circle of Essenzia
Samvaad is the Literary Discussion Circle (LDC) of Essenzia – The Economics Society of Ramanujan College. It was established in order to encourage conversations and discourses on contemporary topics from a diverse range of fields. In particular, Samvaad organises discussions on contemporary topics, books, movies, documentaries, etc. Meet the Author is the flagship event series of Samvaad, in which an author is invited to meet the students and have an interactive session with them. It is a democratic institution; student posts are filled by election each year, which happens in a transparent manner and in several phases. One Head and two Deputy-Heads are elected for the well and coherent functioning of Samvaad. In addition, executive members are elected by the Head and Deputy-Heads. A team of faculty members – consisting of a Convenor and a Co-convenor – is also a part of Samvaad, which assists and guides the students’ team in organising events and programmes. Membership of Samvaad is open to all students of the College.

Essenzia Research Wing
The Essenzia Research Wing (ERW) is an initiative to promote research-oriented learning and foster fresh economic thought; so that knowledge can be experienced beyond the classroom.
ERW promotes and facilitates research initiatives, training and academic writing for undergraduate students on all issues encompassing economics and statistics. We aspire to build a dynamic and interactive community of authors by providing a framework in which disciplines can convene and flourish. The ERW is dedicated to the highest academic standards guaranteed by peer review and critical scrutiny of research output.
ERW aims to create concrete foundations for development of economic and statistical research. We provide funding to research projects carried out by the faculties with a team of undergraduate students. Participants get access to e-resources such as journals, publications and datasets subscribed by the college library. Students are provided with opportunity to refine their research abilities by participating in webinars, online and offline workshops, lectures and seminars. All research outcomes stand a chance to be published as working paper of ERW and on the ERW’s webpage.
The research wing also aims to facilitate training and specialisation of faculties, scholars and professionals. To this end, the wing is actively involved in organising time bound faculty development programmes, conferences and special workshops on all topics related to economic and statistics.

Essenzia Career Wing
Essenzia Career Wing aims to provide students with variegated insights about different career prospects through regular sessions and webinars from experts in different industries. These webinars target to provide clarity about a particular career, a predilection to choose that career, the necessary knowledge required for pursuing that career, and a structural approach on how to build these careers.
Essenzia Career Wing endeavours to streamline the paths of youth towards their target destination and prepare them to be their best form. The objective remains to help the students through effective communication and assistance, master a skillset that will enable them to think critically and imbibe the skills necessary to enter a wide range of careers and the willingness to acknowledge the continuously evolving nature of the subject.
