DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS

      Home Economics is a challenging subject which has "Home" as the centre of its study. It focuses on the Home as an important Unit of the Society and facilitates an in-depth study of the changes in today's world. Keeping in mind the vast importance of this subject, it was introduced in our Institute in July 1962 with immense efforts of Dr. Nalini P. Varadpande. Over the years, it steadily developed into a full-fledged efficient Department. The Post Graduate classes were granted in 1981 due to conserted efforts of Dr. Varhadpande. Dr Mrs. S.A.Wasu, an ex-faculty of the Department was the recipient of the State Teachers Award (2001) a prestigious award of Government of Maharashtra. Dr. Mrs. N.D. Sinha is the Head of the Department at present and it is due to her untiring efforts that the Department became a centre for M.Phil. in Home Economics, affiliated to Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University, Nasik.
