Established in 1967, the Department of Economics has evolved significantly over the years. Initially focused on Modern Indian History and Banking as subsidiary papers, it transitioned in 2004 to include Cooperation alongside Banking. Notably, in 2006, the department introduced a vocational course in 'Advertisement, Sales Promotion, and Sales Management,' supported by the UGC. Prof. N.K. Vaidyanathan served as the department's inaugural Head. Presently, the department comprises two permanent faculty members and one guest faculty. Over the last eight years, the department has consistently achieved remarkable results, consistently exceeding an 85% success rate.
