Some heads of banking sector also gave their valuable views about the current economic conditions. Prof. B. S. Ghumman delivered a lecture on “WTO and India”. The department organized educational tours to different places and commercial establishments. Students took an active part in these tours. All the members of the department take an active interest and participate in the college activities and administration. They are fully associated with the conduct of examination, sports, extra curricular activities, staff council, organizing of college functions, activities connected with the finance, students welfare etc. They give their full cooperation to the Principal. The members of the department take up assignments given by other departments for teaching ‘the subjects relating to economics,’ to their students. Sometimes, different institutions from different places approach the principal for the services of our lecturers. With the approval of the principal, we provide our teaching faculty. All the members of the department take an active interest in the students’ activities and guide them in various ways. Student-teacher relationship is an important part of our daily functioning. Suggestions and views of the students are invited, discussed and implemented, wherever required. Students are given assignments to be written as well as for discussion. These assignments are evaluated and guidelines for further improvement are provided. They are encouraged to discuss the matter. As a result of these efforts, 29 students (since 2000) qualified UGC/NET test. Many students were selected as lecturer in different colleges. About 15 students are working as officers in the banking and insurance sector. Some students are running their own business. Some students have gone abroad for studies as well as for employments. Efforts are made to provide more and more knowledge to the students and for this purpose new books are purchased for the college library.
