About the Department
The Post-graduate Department of Economics was started in
1979 as one of the two departments, which were started along
with the establishment of Post- graduate center at Davangere.
The Economics 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 Economics. However, the center got
separated from Kuvempu University and given the university
status under the banner of Davangere University on 18th August,
2009.
