Bibek Debroy, India’s top economist and chairman of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, passed away at 69, leaving behind a legacy of insightful economic policies and literary contributions.

Bibek Debroy, a prominent economist and the esteemed chairman of India's Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (EAC-PM), has passed away at the age of 69. Known for his sharp insights into economic policy and his vigorous advocacy for reforms, Debroy was a towering figure in Indian economic discourse. With a career that spanned decades, he was not just an economist but also a prolific writer and a cultural scholar who deeply understood the socio-economic fabric of India.

Born in an era that demanded acute economic awareness and transformation, Debroy emerged as a leading voice advocating for innovative strategies to tackle issues like poverty and agricultural income taxation. His ideas, though sometimes controversial – such as the call for taxing agriculture – aimed at modernizing India's economic framework. Debroy had a knack for sparking dialogues that went beyond the ivory tower of economics, engaging policymakers and the public alike in discussions that could influence real change. His contributions were not only limited to economics; he was celebrated for his literary works, particularly in the realm of classical literature, showcasing a mind that thrived on knowledge from diverse fields.

Tributes have poured in for Debroy following his untimely passing, including a heartfelt message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hailed him as a great scholar. Modi’s words capture the essence of Debroy's stature – someone who not only contributed to economic policy but also enriched the intellectual landscape of the country. Personal anecdotes from colleagues and students reflect a man committed to making a difference, tirelessly working to provide insights and recommendations that aim to shape a better future for India.

As we remember Bibek Debroy, it’s worth noting the impactful legacy he leaves behind. His role as the Chancellor of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and his award of Padma Shri recognize his valuable contributions to academic and economic communities. Did you know that Debroy's work was instrumental in advocating for indices to measure poverty in India beyond the traditional lens? This shift in perspective is part of what made him a visionary. His passion will continue to inspire many, ensuring that his insights into economics and policy discussion live on for generations to come.
