About

Date of Commencement of Dept.: 1972

Every year this Department rolls out graduates with a strong commitment to contribute to society in their own capacities. Students from diverse academic and social backgrounds – from economically challenged minorities to the ones who wish to transform their lives to become self-sufficient and move towards upward social mobility; from the mediocre to bright ones, from average to weaker ones opt for Sociology as their Discipline Component. The Department embraces them all and offers various platforms of equity to excel in academics, research, soft skills, employment opportunities and community work. Be it field work, surveys or innovations in student-centric teaching-learning methods, internships or research-based studies, the Department offers endless opportunities to students to excel in a wide range of activities. The outcomes are indeed rewarding- many of them who are first generation college and at time school goers bring us pride when they excel in academics and win prizes in co-curricular and extra-curricular, research and other competitions. Overcoming all kinds of challenges at familial, community, social and most importantly at financial levels, these students complete their graduation. After completing their graduation, students opt for progression not only in the field of sociology but also for studying law, education, management, women’s studies and others. Our alumni are lawyers, teachers, entrepreneurs, HR Representatives.
