Introduction

Economists focus on decision-making for efficient, equitable, and sustainable use of scarce resources. The prime focus is to achieve economic growth that raises standards of livings for broad swaths of a population and to promote development that includes marginalized people, and different sectors of the economy in social, political, and economic processes for increased human well-being, social and environmental sustainability, and empowerment. Economic theory provides deep insights into individual and social behaviors as well as a variety of contemporary issues. The employment prospects for economists are very wide as the importance of economics is inevitable. Students acquire problem-solving skills that are valued by the government and business community, techniques to examine a variety of socio-economic, climatic, and environmental issues. Our department is well-known for the excellence of its teaching and research, with a strong reputation for producing innovative graduates. The Department of Economics has developed curricula to meet present-day requirements. Formulation of policy alternatives by conducting solution-oriented research to assist the decision makers for uniform growth and developing manpower in line with the demands of local and international markets are the priorities of the Department. In this context, the Department of Economics is playing a key role to fill the gap in the availability of human resources that are required to improve the momentum of economic growth and eradicate socioeconomic evils.
