Economics UG & PG

About the Department

It gives us immense pleasure in introducing our economics department as a pioneer department established in 1964 with eminent Prof.Dr.R.E.Benjamin, who migrated from GTN College and was elevated as professor of Economics in Madurai Kamaraj University. Subsequently Prof.R.Munisamy followed by Prof.V.Shanmugasundaram adorned this department from 1973. With stupendous efforts, they conducted various activities for the students in the banner of planning forum, population study club and leo club. After their retirement we have also conducted budget panel discussion, state level statistical survey and regional level workshop in our college. In 2015, our college was accredited with B grade by NAAC and in 2017 Autonomous Status was conferred by University Grants Commission. Immediately after this, our department was geared up to organize many programmes at national level by availing sponsorship from funding agencies like UGC,ICSSR,NHRC,DST,TANSCHE,TNSCST,NCW,ICWA. One of our faculty has participated and presented his paper in the IIMS, 9th and 10th International Conference held at Bangkok, Thailand in 2018 and Vietnam in 2019 with ICSSR travel grant.
