The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) honours Lord Meghnad Desai by establishing a new student support fund and a memorial lecture series. The initiative recognises his lifelong contribution to economics, public policy, and academic thought at a global level.
The newly launched student support fund aims to assist deserving students in pursuing their education at LSE, with a focus on inclusion and academic excellence. It reflects Lord Meghnad Desai’s strong belief in accessible education and intellectual freedom. Alongside the fund, LSE introduces an annual memorial lecture that brings together scholars, policymakers, and students to discuss key economic and social issues.
Lord Meghnad Desai remains closely associated with LSE through his years of teaching, research, and public engagement. His work continues to influence economic thinking, political debate, and interdisciplinary studies worldwide.
Through this initiative, LSE strengthens its commitment to supporting future generations of students while celebrating the legacy of one of its most distinguished academics.
