The Department of Commerce, formally set up as a separate entity in 1967, has imbibed the DSE tradition of exploring new frontiers of knowledge and innovation in academics. In its history spanning over three decades, it has redefined commerce education in the country. The Department has the legitimate claim and pride of being the premier institution in India for course curriculum development, teaching and researches in Commerce discipline. The rapid growth of the Department of Commerce is reflected in its expansion as well as novelty in its academic programmes. This has led to the commencement of master level professional programmes, in addition to the traditional M. Phil., Ph.D. and their flagship M.Com. Programmes. As a response to market imperatives, the Department of Commerce initiated two new post-graduate professional programmes in 1995, namely, Master of International Business (MIB) and Master of Human Resource and Organisational Development (MHROD). In the short period of over ten years, these courses have made a mark through teaching and research in all contemporary areas of International Business and Human Resource Management. |

Shortly after independence, a group of visionaries led by Prof. V. K.R.V. Rao and supported by the then Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru were driven by an ambition to create a center for advanced learning and research in social sciences comparable to the best in the world and worthy of an independent subcontinent. Thus, in 1948 the Delhi School of Shortly after independence, a group of visionaries led by Prof. V. K.R.V. Rao and supported by the then Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru were driven by an ambition to create a center for advanced learning and research in social sciences comparable to the best in the world and worthy of an independent subcontinent. Thus, in 1948 the Delhi School of Economics (DSE) was conceived on the lines of the London School of Economics. Subsequently, when Prof. Rao became the Vice-Chancellor of the University, the process of setting up four new departments, namely, Sociology, Geography, Business management and Commerce, was initiated.
Guided by the vision of its founders, the school lays highest importance on maintaining excellence in teaching, both as an end in itself and as a basis for creativity and for sustaining excellence in research. The pioneering works of personalities like Prof. Amartya Sen, Prof. B.N. Ganguly, Prof. Jagdigh Bhagwati, Prof. Sukhamoy Chakraborty, Prof. K.N. Raj, Prof. Manmohan Singh, Prof. P.K. Ghosh and Prof. L.C. Gupta have contributed to the social and economic development of the country.

Dean Speaks: The market is like a battlefield today and competition is war. Under such a scenario, it becomes imperative for enterprises to strategize their moves, seek to achieve a comparative advantage and enhance the excellence of their strategic human capital. The spillover of liberalization and globalization has been observed in every sector of the economy having a cascading effect on each and every activity in the organization - be it marketing, finance, or human resource. Newer paradigms evolving in corporate and industrial world have resulted in increased need for efficient solution providers with coherent perspectives, updated knowledge and technologies.
The world today needs leaders and managers who are willing to continuously learn, unlearn and change; who are skillful to recognize opportunities and act; and who are capable of working together and with people.
Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics, aims at developing leaders with knowledge and skills essential to challenge and revel in today?s fiercely competitive global business environment. As part of the University of Delhi, the Department of Commerce is known for its academic excellence, quality research and industry interface. We in the Department are committed to adherence to pursuits and provision of corporate world?s real life work exposure to the students, value creation with emphasis on academic rigour.
With the ever changing business world, advances in management thoughts and increasing globalization of education, it is imperative that we update ourselves on a continuous basis and each train the students in a multicultural context in multiple disciplines. Students are selected from diverse educational, professional and cultural backgrounds. They are taught various concepts, theories and an understanding of national and international business complexities through case studies, presentations, role plays, guest lectures and conferences to attune them to the present and future business requirements. Also, courses are constantly updated with invaluable inputs from the industry and professionals so that the students are taught today what they have to practice tomorrow.
We do hope that our students with such a highly acclaimed academic pedigree of DSE and the skills, competencies and values that we inculcate in them during the period of their stay with us will prove invaluable to any and every organization that they may join in future.
