The Madras School of
Economics came into existence in 1995,
thanks to the vision and efforts of some
leading academicians, industrialists and
financial institutions in India. The
primary objective was to create a centre
that would nurture quality teaching and
research programs in economics. Within a
short span of time it has realized this
objective and is today counted among the
premier institutes for higher education
and research in economics in India. The
National Assessment and Accreditation
Council awarded MSE an “A” grade.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests
has designated MSE as a Centre of
Excellence in Environmental Economics.
