About the Department
The Post-graduate Department of Commerce was started in 1979
as one of the two departments, which were started along with
the establishment of Post- graduate center at Davangere. The
Commerce Department was started in this area, which is
considered to be an important commercial city in the state,
and it would benefit the students of this area. The P.G.
Centre was under the control of University of Mysore. When
the Kuvempu University was formed in 1987, the P.G.Centre
was brought under the purview of Kuvempu University, so also
the Department of Commerce. However, the center got
separated from Kuvempu University and given the university
status under the banner of Davangere University on 18th August,
2009.
