The primary goal of an educational institution is to serve the society in the most effective way it can. The department of Commerce, DDU Gorakhpur University, being conscious of its social obligations, has drawn plans to undertake a variety of research projects proposing to make a deep probe into the various relevant problems faced by the local trade/industry and other segments of the business arena and to explore and suggest opportunities suited to their needs and potentials. The problem of unemployment is obliterating briskly the prospects of growth of the region and overwrought by this, the local youth prefer to migrate to industrialized venues for vocation. These research projects would, on the one had, help build up a platform for meaningful interaction between the researchers and the business community and on the other, supply inputs of knowledge and awareness to the local youth so that they could be able to find out ways and means to earn their livelihood locally. In view of the challenges posed by the changes taking place in the field of Commerce education at the global level, the department is going to introduce a variety of value added courses relating to e-commerce, on-line Marketing, BPO, e-Banking, Insurance, Salesmanship and Advertising at the UG level along with different management courses at the PG level, viz., Master of Financial Studies (MFS) and Master of International Business Management (MIBM). These courses would be operative in coordination with the proposed Distance education program of the University.
