India has lost a prominent voice in the field of economics with the passing of Bibek Debroy. The renowned economist, who served as the Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India, breathed his last on Friday at the age of 69.
Debroy’s contributions to the Indian economy were multifaceted and far-reaching. His sharp intellect and deep understanding of economic principles led him to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s economic policies. His insights were highly sought after, not only by the government but also by academics, industry leaders, and the public at large.
Debroy’s journey began at the Ramakrishna Mission School in Narendrapur, followed by a distinguished academic career at Presidency College in Kolkata, the Delhi School of Economics, and Trinity College, Cambridge. This exceptional educational background laid the foundation for his future achievements.
His passing leaves a void in the world of economics and public policy. Debroy’s legacy will continue to inspire generations of economists and policymakers. His contributions to India’s economic development will be remembered for years to come.
