About The Department:-

        The Department of Economics is one of the oldest departments of the University. It came into existence along with the university on 18th July, 1946 with Dr. M. K. Shetey as the only teacher in the department. The department received a fillip when Dr. A. N. Agrawal joined the department as Reader and Head in 1947. He organized an impressive “Economics conversazine” in the beginning of 1948, which was inaugurated by the founder Dr. Harisingh Gour himself. In 1953 Professor L.C Jain, Ph.D., D.Sc. (London) joined as the first Professor of Economics. He put the department on a firm footing. Research activities were not only initiated but were considerably strengthened during his regime. In 1957 Prof. S.B.L. Nigam (Ph.D. London) became the Head of the department. He was in the department for a short time in 1960 he left the department and became India’s Permanente representative at International Labour Organization, Geneva.  

         In 1960 Shri J.N. Mishra (M.Sc. London) became Reader and Head of the Department of Economics. He guided the destinies of the department for 13 years. With liberal financial grants from the UGC a large number of books and journals were acquired for the library. Dr. J. L. Agrawala, Dr. A. Raman and Dr. B.D. Mishra, Dr.Shriprakash and Dr.P.K. Patankar all so  joined the department as Assistant Professors. To improve the teaching and research in Agricultural Economics, Dr. V.P Pande went to London School of Economics and he was awarded the degree of Ph.D. in 1963. In 1964 Dr. V.P. Pande was made Reader in Economics to improve teaching & research in Agricultural Economics. Shri M.L. Tripathi also joined the department as a Research Assistant during this period. Dr. M.K. Shetey  was appointed Reader in the department in 1969. Thus, during the first and the second five year plans, the department progressed rapidly, largely due to liberal grants sanctioned for the department by the UGC. Shri K.C. Jain joined the department as a research assistant in 1970. The three intervening Five year plans had more or less by passed the Department. After the sad demise of Prof. J.N. Mishra, Dr. V.P. Pande became the Head of the Department in 1968 and in 1972 he became Professor of Economics.

         Prof. V.P. Pande took keen interest in the department. It was his initiative that an additional Professor in Economics of Growth and One Reader in Agricultural Economics were sanctioned by the UGC in the fifth five year plan. During his tenure Teacher Research Fellowship scheme was introduced in the department and about 15 Lecturers from different states joined the department as Teacher Research Fellows. One Technical Officer Shri Shayam Manohar Mishra was also appointed during the same period.

        In October 1983 Prof. V.P. Pande retired and Dr. A Raman became the Reader & Head of the department. Dr. Raman later became Professor in 1985. The specialized Post of Professor (Economics of Growth) was offered to Prof. R. Mehrotra who joined the University in May 1985. In March 1985 Dr. Subodh Pande joined the department; previously he was serving in the M.P. State Educational Services. Dr. Subodh Pande was selected by the UGC under the Government of India’s Cultural & Academic exchange programme to visit Hungary for three months. In Hungary, Budapest Dr. Pande was attached to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1990. Prof. R. Mehrotra became DCDC and later in April 1996 he retired from the University. On 1st May 1996 Dr. Subodh Pande became the Head of the Department.  Dr. Subodh Pande continued as Head of the Department up to 2002. During this period Dr. G.M. Dubey was appointed as Lecturer in Economics and later in 2013 he became Professor. Dr. K.C. Jain became the Head of the Department of Economics in 2002 and continued as Head up to May 2007.
