The Department of Economics of the college has been playing a notable and leading role in providing economics education in the rural areas covering Koothattukulam, Thirumaradi, Pampakkuda, Ramamangalam Piravom and Kunnathunadu Grama Panchayats. Initially Economics was offered as a subject for the Pre Degree Course in Humanities under the Kerala University. In 1991, the department was upgraded as an Undergraduate Department offering B.A Degree Programme in Economics. The department is committed to serve the society at various levels by offering its services in disseminating and publicizing the most recent economic developments in India and elsewhere in the world and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
