DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS

About Department of Economics

ORIGIN & DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Economics department is one of the oldest departments of the college. The Department of Economics started its functioning at the very inception of the college and has a history of 57 years so far. It began teaching economics classes for Pre-Degree courses, and within a couple of years, it became a full-fledged department with a degree course. Prof. Rose Williams was appointed as the first Head of the Department of Economics. Her experience and practical wisdom counted a lot at the beginning of the department. Now the department has completed 55 years of existence with the undergraduate course with sociology & history as subsidiary subjects. What the department today is the outcome of the conscientious work of the faculty members- Sr.Joshua(1966-85), Sr.Bianca(1966-89), Sr.Rose Ann (1972-2002), Dr.Sr.Vandana (1973-2004), Mrs. Gracy Raphel(1974-2005), Dr. Valsa John C (1983-2015), and Dr. Baby V O(1985-2016).  Mrs.Alphonsa.A.K joined and served our department as a sociology professor from 1979-to 2011. The year 2013-14 is a landmark in the history of our department as it was upgraded as a postgraduate department in that year. The department provides a scholastic atmosphere through competent instruction, skill-oriented certificate courses, curricular and extracurricular activities, etc.
