Overview

The Department of Economics has been a cornerstone of our college since its inception in 1964, beginning with the first batch of the Humanities stream. It became a fully-fledged department in 1968 when the college was elevated to a senior institution. Under the visionary leadership of the first Principal, Rev. Msgr. Peter Uralil, the Department laid a strong foundation for academic excellence. The introduction of the B.A. Degree Programme in Economics in the same year marked a significant milestone, with Rev. Dr. Simon Kottoor serving as the first Head of the Department.

Over the years, the Department has grown in stature and legacy, having nurtured 50 batches of undergraduate students. It proudly maintains a vibrant and active Alumni Association, which played a key role in organizing the Department’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The Department is committed to the holistic development of its students, regularly organizing a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities.
