Message from the Chairman
Welcome to the Department of Economics
Transcending the boundaries of time, Jagannath School-established in 1868- converted into a university on 20 October 2005. Jagannath University became widely renowned due to the handiwork of many legendary personalities. The Department of Economics was first established in 1972 in the erstwhile Jagannath College offered Honors Degree in Economics. The department commenced its activities under the Faculty of Social Sciences since the inception of this university in 2005. The Department of Economics is now one of the oldest departments of Jagannath University. The department has become a vibrant place because of the close interactions and cooperation among the students, teachers and staff. Besides the Bachelor with Honors, master’s and PhD, the department currently offers Professional master’s degree. Presently, 25 faculty members are employed in this department including six Professors, eight Associate Professors, ten Assistant Professors and one Lecturer. Nine teachers have already completed their PhD. With the local and foreign degrees, the teachers have been dedicated themselves to the betterment of the students and university as well. Furthermore, the department employs two officers, two staff and four office assistants, who with their relentless efforts have been assisting the students and teachers in various administrative-related jobs as well as in other activities. At present, the Department of Economics has five running batches including Honors and Masters. After graduating from this department, the students have been working in prestigious positions and contributing to various social welfare activities at home and abroad. One might hope that in the coming days the students and teachers, with their relentless and lively efforts, will take this department in the top position in this country.
