Since the inception of college, the Department of Economics has been with single mind devotion to provide a sound foundation to under graduate students and fairly large numbers of the students of the department have brought glory to the department and college as well. The department proposes to study the prospects of food processing and viable industries in the region. It also proposes to study the economic consequences of the permanent shut down of Gaya cotton mill, Guraru sugar Mill and others employment generating industries. Such studies have become more important in view of the decentralised nature of planning and local resource based approach to development.
