About Us

The Department of Economics was started in the year 1953 with under graduate course. The PG programme was started in the year 1967. At present, our department is the most sought after place for PG programme in the MG University and probably in Kerala state, as reflected by student preferences in the PG admission process. The number of students securing ranks and NET are on the increase every year and many former students are occupying faculty positions across colleges in Kerala. The present faculty of the Department is committed to continue the great legacy that was established by illuminories like Professors, V.J. Mathai, A.O. Joseph, P.T. Cyriac, N.J. Devasia and E.S. Joseph. Many of our alumni have reached great heights in their career, the famous example being Mr. Augustine Peter IES, (Member, Competition Commission of India). The Department regularly conducts socio- economic surveys in and around our locality to capture the living conditions of rural households. “Ecofiesta”, an intercollegiate fest which is organized every year has by now been established itself as one of the major events among intercollegiate fests.
