Dr. Tareef Husain | Charting New Paths in Regional Economics

From the corridors of the Central University of Gujarat to the frontiers of regional economic research, Dr. Tareef Husain’s journey exemplifies the power of dedicated scholarship and innovative thinking. Currently shaping young minds as Assistant Professor at Gaya College, Magadh University, his story is one of continuous evolution and impactful research.

A Foundation Built on Research Excellence

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” goes the saying, and for Dr. Husain, that step was taken at the Central University of Gujarat. His doctoral research (2014-2018) broke new ground in understanding SME exports, revealing how regional dynamics and agglomeration shape the export landscape of Indian enterprises. This wasn’t his first foray into regional economics – his M.Phil. research (2012-2014) had already illuminated the intricate relationship between policy frameworks and pharmaceutical industry growth across Indian states.

Pioneering Research: Where Theory Meets Practice

Dr. Husain’s publication record reads like a roadmap of contemporary economic challenges and solutions:

The Art of Knowledge Transfer

Dr. Husain’s career isn’t just about research – it’s about transformation. At INFLIBNET, he demystified complex statistical tools, authoring user manuals that bridge the gap between data and insight. His six-year tenure at Galgotias University saw him wearing multiple hats: Program Chair, NAAC Coordinator, and most importantly, a mentor who guided three Ph.D. scholars toward their academic dreams.

Voice of Experience: The CUG Legacy

“Transformative and enriching” – these words echo as Dr. Husain describes his CUG years. Under Prof. Jaya Prakash Pradhan’s mentorship, he learned that rigorous research isn’t just about methodology; it’s about asking the right questions and pursuing answers with unwavering dedication.

Looking to Tomorrow

Today, Dr. Husain stands at the intersection of traditional economic theory and contemporary challenges. His research agenda tackles pressing questions: How can we bridge regional economic disparities? What role will technology play in shaping regional development? How can we ensure growth that’s not just robust but inclusive?

• Regional Development: Mapping paths to balanced growth
• SME Dynamics: Understanding the backbone of economic vitality
• Pharmaceutical Industry Analysis: Decoding sector-specific growth patterns
• Industrial Cluster Development: Fostering economic ecosystems

The Road Ahead

“Economics isn’t just about numbers,” Dr. Husain often reminds his students. “It’s about understanding how policies and practices shape lives and livelihoods.” His current research aims to decode the impact of globalization and technology on regional economies, always with an eye toward sustainable and inclusive development.
