Today subject Economics is an essential and all pervasive academic discipline that caters to all sections of the society and is no longer considered as an elitist social science that is meant for intellectuals and scientists who work with multiple government agencies. The core job of an economist is to research and analyze the trends in different sections of society and industry. So the basic motive of this Department in the University is to create and decipher the knowledge on one hand and enhance the skills of the young youth on the other hand.
The Department is one of the oldest Departments of the University which started in 1980 in Satavahana Institute of PG studies.
