ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Post- Graduate degree in Economics was introduced in 1994 and Under Graduate Degree Course was introduced in 1967. it is the largest major Department of the college having nearly 200 Students and 10 Faculty members. It was the only humanities department in the college offered special Economics Courses with Statistics and Calculus ancillaries in 1975-76. Since autonomy in 1990 the department offers innovative, application oriented and new job oriented courses and Diploma Courses on Front office Management.
We have compulsory courses on Environmental Economics both at UG and PG level. After the introduction of choice based Credit system, similar to Value education we have incorporated a course on Environmental Education. We have prepared syllabus and course materials for the same.
The department of Economics is very much interested in Environment, every year we conduct one day Intercollegiate Seminar on “Eco-Friendly and Eco-Consciousness”. The special feature of this seminar is that it is purely students’ participation through means of presentation of papers on the “Environmental aspects”. Moreover the department has formulated “Enviro Club”.
The department has the experience of organizing many seminars and workshops. An UGC Sponsored Two day seminar on “Revamping the Financial Sector in India” in Aug 1999. the department is blessed with dedicated teachers who periodically publish research articles , present papers in conferences and being resource persons for various seminars. The department affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University is now offering Mphil in Economics.
The department of Economics has the unique feature of organizing a one day intercollegiate seminar on “Eco-Friendliness and Eco-consciousness” every year. This seminar was purely students oriented which encouraged the paper presentation on Environmental aspects by the students.
