Calcutta University Department of Economics

Hi I am interested in knowing about the Department of Economics at Calcutta University as well as the course it offers and the faculties f the department?

The post-graduate Department of Economics was formally settled in 1917. Prior to that Economics was educated as a major aspect of History in the undergrad level. The first seat in India was established in the Economics branch of the University of Calcutta in 1909. The division was known as the bureau of Political Economy after foundation, as it likewise contained the seeds of the bureaus of Philosophy and Political Science.

The division has two Centers for Advanced Research. The more seasoned one is the Center for Urban Studies, moved to the Alipore Campus of the University in mid 1990s and the more youthful one is the DRS (now DSA) (UGC upheld Special Assistance Program) on the Economics of Globalization and Sustainable Development, began in 2007-08 and arranged in the B.T.Road grounds itself.

The division has dependably been a dynamic one in the fields of scholastics, research and position. It has kept pace with the continually changing requirements of the scholastic circumstance of the nation and has overhauled its syllabus and the examination framework every once in a while.
