                        ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 
           
          At the outset let me express my deep gratitude to the Lord Almighty. It was 
          really a challenge to revamp the syllabus of Mahatma Gandhi University. The 
          university syllabus commanded great academic charm and hence utmost care 
          has been made to update and modify it without losing its innate richness. I take 
          this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all those who were part 
          of this endeavour for restructuring the syllabus of U G course in Economics 
          under Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. 
          I  express  profound  gratitude  to  the  honourable  Manager  of  CMS  College, 
          Most.Rev.Bishop Thomas K Oommen, Principal, Dr. Roy Sam Daniel, Vice 
          Principal Dr. Varghese C Joshua, Academic Council of CMS College, for their 
          sincere co-operation and guidance for the timely completion of this work. 
          I extend heartfelt gratitude to Dr. T.P Sasi Kumar (Former Scientist, ISRO), 
          Dr. N. J Rao (Former Professor, Indian Institute of Science), and Dr. C James 
          (Scott  Christian  College)  for  their  valuable  interference  in  enriching  and 
          structuring this syllabus in a scientific and erudite manner. 
          I  place  on  record  my whole hearted gratitude to the members of faculty of 
          Economics and board of studies for their untiring efforts. I also appreciate the 
          efforts of members of College academic section and other staff. 
          I humbly express my gratefulness to the honourable Chairman and Members 
          Board of Studies of Mahatma Gandhi University for framing an excellent and 
          enriched syllabus with a sustained outlook of academic excellence. 
          I am also grateful to all who participated in the workshops organised by the 
          College for restructuring the syllabus. I also place on record my gratitude to all 
          professionals,  Academicians  and  other  stakeholders  who  gave  valuable 
          suggestions in this regard. 
                                        
                                        
                                      Chairman,
