The Department of Economics offers an undergraduate (UG) Honours course, with a current enrollment strength of 32. The department began its journey with the establishment of Model Degree College, Rayagada, in the 2016-17 session. Over the years, it has evolved from a sapling into a young tree. As part of the syllabus, students have the opportunity to study various well-structured economics subjects, along with basic mathematics and statistics, which sharpen their understanding and make them job-worthy. The department is fortunate to have benefited from the services of several dedicated teachers, whose contributions have led to improved student results year after year.
HoD’s Message: Economics is both a prestigious department and one of the categories of the Nobel Prize, and students of Economics should feel proud to be a part of it. Economics offers a wide range of career opportunities, from becoming a banker at commercial banks to serving as an officer at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). At the central level, students can serve the country by joining the Indian Economic Services (IES). At the state level, students can pursue various positions in the Planning and Convergence departments, as well as other departments, contributing to the development of Odisha.“The reasons for failure may differ, but the reasons for success remain the same throughout the ages: hard work and self-confidence. Have faith in yourself, and the miracle will follow.” To all my dear students, my final message in this temporary world is to strive to be a great human being.
