It paves the way for development and plays vital role (serve as a catalyst) in bringing socio-cultural, economical, technological, political and environmental advancements. In case of our country, the government takes different measures to enhance the development; one is by education. But our education system faces different challenges. Among them is our students are not taking learning as their own responsibility rather they consider it as a fulfillment of having some kind of certificate. In short, they are not actively participating in the classroom. This study tries to address how to improve classroom participation in economics students from Samara University by Appling experimental action research. In doing so, the results of the study were, before policy intervention the classroom participation were so weak and poor which was only 14% of students were participate from total number of students in the classroom; whereas after policy intervention classroom participation were so nice compare to before, which was 40% of students were participate from total number of students in the classroom. At the end of the day the researchers were recommended that the concerned body could undertake the inside mentioned policy interventions (actions taken) for sustainable improvement of students’ classroom participation.
