Economics is vital for the very survival of a nation. To inculcate firsthand knowledge of prevailing economic challenges, the Department has adopted three-pronged strategy i.e. class room instructions, research and dialogue with stockholders with following aims;

Class Room Instructions; To impart theoretical and conceptual know- how among the students in the class room.

Research; To inculcate analytical skills among our graduates, so they can develop, understand and address prevailing economic challenges through rigorous research.

Dialogue; To try answer to the burning questions of current economic situation.

The core goal of the department, through above mentioned strategies, is to produce the graduate with strong theoretical background, sharp analytical skills and mental toughness to take head on the future challenges of practical life.
