2013 marks the 26^thyear of PARETO TIME – the annual inter-college festival organised by the Economics Department of Kirori Mal College. Like every year we have tried to make it more than what it’s ever been.  A three-day event includes something for everybody- from main stream hard-core Economics related events to just light hearted fun events. If you give us a moment, we’ll keep you engaged for long. The main events include Mock Stock, Paper Presentation, Debate, Lensomania, which is the movie-making event and Minister’s Cabinet that involves budget allocation in hypothetical situations and problems. An event called “The Start-Up” is a test of innovative business and marketing ideas. There are many other lighter “side-attractions” as we call it like bidding of IPL players and a representation of barter economy called “The Bazaar”. A guest lecture by Mary E.John would mark the beginning of the last day. There is also a General Quiz, Ad-Mad, retention of names and a utility-maximising event named “Satisfare”. It all started off today, on 18^th morning and ends on the 20^thevening with the much talked about Treasure Hunt. The whole festival is designed so as to reach out to as many people as possible. Well truly, if you knew all the behind the scene efforts gone in making and pasting posters around campus (especially the wall of democracy) and with the event pages being created on Facebook every day for most events, it’s been pleasurably exhausting. Pareto-Time provides a platform to learn while you win prizes without even realising it and to celebrate life as we know it. This festival has much to offer and a lot to look forward to.]]>
