The Department of Economics organized a one-day Workshop on MS Excel (Following the University of Calcutta CCF Syllabus). The adoption of New Education Policy 2020 by the state of West Bengal has led to the introduction of a new syllabus in all streams of undergraduate study in the University of Calcutta under the Curriculum and Credit Framework (CCF, 2022). In view of this, the newly introduced four-year Economics Honours course has included MS Excel as part of its undergraduate syllabus. Students studying Economics will be tested on the Excel spreadsheet software in the second semester itself. Excel being an extensive and overarching software, it becomes necessary that the different colleges affiliated to the University of Calcutta adopt a common instruction methodology. In view of this the workshop was organized by the department, and the target audience was the Economics faculty from different affiliated colleges of the University of Calcutta. Prof Sudakshina Gupta, Chairperson, UGBoS (Economics), University of Calcutta was the chief guest, while Dr Shirsendu Mukherjee, Associate Professor, St Paul’s Cathedral Mission College and Member of the UGBoS (Economics), University of Calcutta was the resource person for the event. After a brief inauguration programme the actual workshop commenced. Dr Mukherjee conducted a 5-hour hands-on session wherein he discussed the various features of the Excel spreadsheet. The workshop was conducted in the computer lab (Room # 442) and 38 Economics faculty from different colleges in Kolkata and the neighbouring districts participated in it. The two sessions – each of two-and-a-half-hour duration, were immensely enriching and the participants in their feedback requested that another workshop on mS Excel be conducted soon.
