About the Department

The Department of Economics was established at the inception of the college in 1972. Presently, the college offers a three-year integrated Bachelor of Arts program with Economics as a specialization. After receiving autonomous status, the Economics Department introduced market-oriented curricula, focusing on factors that contribute to the overall development of our students.

The department regularly organizes various activities for the students, such as study tours, student seminars, guest lectures, and more. The faculty members are actively engaged in research. Two faculty members have completed their Ph.D. degrees and have undertaken minor research projects with financial assistance from the UGC and the University of Mumbai. The research projects address local issues.

The department’s areas of expertise include Agricultural Economics, Labor Economics, Industrial Economics, and Public Finance.
