Department of Agricultural Economics
The Department of Agricultural Economics was established in 1946 with the inception of the College of Agriculture, initially offering undergraduate courses in Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology. Postgraduate education commenced in 1958, followed by the introduction of the Ph.D. programme in 1982. Over the years, the department has expanded its academic and research activities, offering UG, PG, and doctoral programmes. It has made significant contributions through cost of cultivation studies, Agricultural Market Intelligence schemes, and problem-oriented agro-economic research. Graduates have career opportunities in universities, research institutions, banking, agricultural finance institutions, NABARD, agribusiness firms, consultancy, NGOs, policy think tanks, and are eligible for civil services, economic services, and other competitive examinations.
