Vision

To envision excellence in quality education and moulding intellectually competent persons in economics, the department’s vision is to emerge as the leading centre of teaching, research and extension activities. It aims to develop intellectual skills, creative knowledge and economic skills among the students for creating novel ideas. The district Ballia is situated on the bank of the river Ganga and studying the erosion and flood related problems of the region is important. Departmental research is focused on the various economic aspects of both the problems, so that the economic development of this region can be accelerated. Migration from this district is also observed in every corner of India and the world. Department of Economics aims to continuously involve in the study of various economic aspects of migration from the region. The department intends to develop itself into a specialized centre of study in Eastern Uttar Pradesh specifically in the field of migration and the economics of river erosion.
