OVERVIEW
Year of Establishment: Undergraduate – 1984, Post Graduate – 1998
Economics is of great importance as Economist rules the Nation, and rightly quoted by Mrs. Joan Robinson “The Purpose of studying Economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by Economist”.
To acquire a complete knowledge of the working of the economy and the behavior of human beings to fulfill their material wants, basic knowledge of economics is necessary as it provides valuable knowledge for making decisions in everyday life.
The Subject is also important as it is career oriented and one of the papers taught in other Programmes offered by the University. The Department of Economics at St. Thomas College caters to the needs of the students not only at the UG and PG level but also provides their service to other departments where this subject is part of their curriculum.
