Here is your answer
To provide a definition of current independent of the type of chargecarriers
, conventional current is defined as moving in the same direction as the positive charge flow. 

yashikant537: positive charge
yashikant537: since electron moves in opposite direction of current and electron has negative charge so electric current must have positive charge
shantanu7112: but current isnt a vector quantity dude. how the net can be calculated
yashikant537: it is a convention
rahulbkg93pcs37b: it is not that electron moves in opposite of current.....
shantanu7112: means what
yashikant537: electric current was invented much before the discovery of electrons
rahulbkg93pcs37b: flows of current means flow of charge.....it moves in opposite of field direction
shantanu7112: ohh.. I got it. thanks dude
yashikant537: ok
