The Department of Economics, Jorhat College came into being with the very inception of the college. At the beginning Economics was taught as a core subject. With the increase in the number of students and responding to the demand of time Major course was opened in 1977-78. The first batch of students came out successfully in the year 1979. Since then a large number of students have offered Economics as Major subject.
It has been an earnest endeavour on the part of the department to undertake number of academic and co-curricular activities. The department also undertakes various initiatives as its responsibility towards the society.
