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.
