About the Department
HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Department of Commerce was introduced in Auxilium College in the year 1980 with an initial sanctioned strength of 50 in the UG Course. During the first few years of establishment, the Department was under the care of Mrs. P.M. Vijayalakshmi, Head of the Department of Economics. There was only one Assistant Professor of Commerce to handle Commerce classes and the Law related subjects was being handled by Ms. Suseela, an advocate from Vellore.
After a few years, when the Department obtained sanction from the Government as well as the University of Madras, to which the College was affiliated then, the number of staff members in the Department increased to three who started handling all the subjects including Law related subjects.
