Department of Economics is one of the oldest departments established in Gramgeeta Mahavidyalaya in 2009. Since its inception, the Department has been offering undergraduate courses in Economics. It attracts the largest number of students at the undergraduate levels from within and outside the City. The Department has a long tradition of imparting quality education. Many of its alumni hold prominent positions both in academics and administrative spheres across the State – a small testimony, perhaps, to the excellence of training that we provide to our students.
The teaching programmes in the Department are focused on proper blending of ‘quality’ and ‘relevance’. This is sought to be achieved by periodic updating of syllabi in conformity with the advancement of the knowledge in the subject with equal emphasis on theoretical and applied economics.

The thrust areas include the various fields of Development Economics, Economic Growth, International Economics, Financial Economics, Agricultural Economics, Environmental Economics, Industrial Economics, Health Economics, Monetary Economics, Labour Economics, History of Economic Thought, Public Finance, and Population Studies.
