                         The establishment of the Department for agricultural 
                          economics and rural sociology was conditioned by the 
                          predetermined social happenings in these regions and 
                          by the needs of specific agrarian economic research. 
                          During 1968, within the framework of the Institute activity, 
                          the special Section for economy and planning of agriculture 
                          was founded.
