Economics 

The Department

The institution rightly recognized the importance of Economics as a subject of study and incorporated it in its main curriculum right from its inception. The department of Economics launched its onward journey in 1971 with 50 students in graduate course (B.A.) and 200 students in pre-university course.  During these 31 years of academic journey, the department has achieved a creditable growth in terms of quality education in Economics to all sections of Students.

Uniqueness

  • TUTORIALS SYSTEMS: The Tutorial System in the Department has been functioning very effectively in identifying the potentiality of our students.  The procedure that we adopt for effective tutorial system is:
    • Each Faculty is allotted around 20 students in order to have intimate and closer interaction.
    • Each Faculty collects personal information from the Tutorial Ward. These informations include the students' Socio-Economic background as well as future plans.
    • The innate potentialities of each student in leadership, Essay writing, Oratorical competition, sports etc., are identified.
    • The tutor in charge, along with the parents of the students conduct counseling sessions for the students to shape their career.
    • Students, on the basis of their identified potentials are encouraged to participate in various curricular, co-curricular and extra curricular activities.
    • Students of our Department have already shown leadership qualities through the office they have held in the college students union.  The faculty members have helped these office bearers to solve the students' problems on many occasions without compromising their academic standards.  Some of our old students after identifying their potentials for higher education have come back to teach at GNC.  Some of our P.G students after completion have joined research institutes like Madras School of Economics, and University of Madras. 
    • The Department has made it a point to select best outgoing student every year to encourage healthy competitions among the students.   A panel of Faculties through a multiple index of attendance, attentiveness, class participation, discipline, and marks scored in the internal as well as University Examinations select the best outgoing students.

  • University Rank Holders have done the department proud. Many of the students of the department have research degrees form reputed institutions and occupy covetable positions in esteemed institutions.
