INTRODUCTION
The Department of
Economics is as old as the college itself. Established as an undergraduate
department in 1967, it developed into a postgraduate department in 2003 and has
now attained the status of a Research Centre. Over the past decades, the
department has produced numerous University Rank Holders. The interdisciplinary
postgraduate programme, M.A. Business Economics (Self-Financing), was
introduced in 2003 and was later renamed M.A. Economics in 2016. The department
is committed to the academic and holistic development of its students through
various curricular, co-curricular, and extension activities. In commemoration
of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the department
organizes the “Spare and Share” Food Distribution Programme, which is one of
the distinctive social outreach initiatives of the department.
