About the Course : 

Microeconomics (व्यष्टि अर्थशास्त्र) व्यक्तियों के बीच सीमित संसाधनों के आवंटन का अध्ययन है। व्यक्ति से हमारा तात्पर्य उस इकाई से है जो स्वत निर्णय  करने में सक्षम है | निर्णय लेने वाली ये इकाई एक व्यक्ति भी हो सकता  है,  एक परिवार  भी, एक फर्म  भी | आर्थिक सिद्धांत इस Assumption (धारणा) पर आधारित हैं कि सभी निर्णय लेने वाली इकाई का अच्छी तरह से परिभाषित उद्देश्य हैं; जैसे व्यक्तियों के लिए उपयोगिता अधिकतमकरण (Utility Maximization) और फर्मों के लिए लाभ अधिकतमकरण (Profit Maximization) |  ये सब इकाईया  आर्थिक वातावरण के प्रोत्साहन (Incentives) और बाधाओं (Constraints) को समझते हुये एक बहुत ही व्यवस्थित रूप से कार्य करते हैं।

वस्तुत: Microeconomics एक ढांचा (Structure)  प्रस्तुत करता है है जो हमलोगो को आर्थिक सेटिंग में मानवीय पहेली की मूलभूत समझ हासिल करने की क्षमता देता है। Microeconomics के मूल सिद्धांतों के इस पाठ्यक्रम में उपभोक्ता सिद्धांत, निर्माता सिद्धांत के साथ-साथ बाजार संरचनाएं शामिल हैं जिनके माध्यम से हम निर्णय लेने वाले इकाइयों, उनके व्यबहार, एवम बाजार को समझेंगे |

Microeconomics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources among individuals. Economic theories are based on the assumption that individuals as well as firms have well defined objectives; utility maximization for individuals and profit maximization for firms and they act systematically according to the incentives and constraints of their economic environment. It is this framework that allows the economist to gain a fundamental understanding of the human puzzle in an economic setting. This course in the fundamentals of economics covers consumer theory, producer theory as well as the market structures through which individuals and firms interact.
