Abstract

This paper draws on three categories of evidence: pub lished macroeconomic datasets from the IMF, World Bank, OECD, and Reserve Bank of India; secondary synthesis from peer-reviewed literature and government reports; and original analytical modelling using established economic frameworks(Lagrangian optimisation, Fisher equation, NPV analysis). Quantitative estimates derived from the Student Price Index (SPI) framework represent illustrative calibrations anchored to publicly available price data, not outputs of for mal econometric regressions.
