Objective :

The objective of the Economics Department, Bijni College is to provide thorough, updated, and comprehensive knowledge of the subject, empowering students to excel academically and compete effectively in today’s dynamic environment.

Vision :

          The Department envisages a vision and some of the activities proposed for materialisation of the vision are-

1. To enhance the interest of the students in Economics and thereby increase the enrolment in the Department through various curricular and extra-curricular activities.
