" KUESA has given me an opportunity to impact lives through community service. It has also given me an arena to transform ideas from imaginations to practical application. It has also built my confidence through interaction with students and corporates. It is the only association i would recommend any student interested in Economics affairs to join. KUESA is also a hub for employees and entrepreneurs."
