About the Department :         

Sociology delves deep and reconnoitres issues vital to our own lives, our communities, our nation, nay the world. The sociological imagination and the skills that one learns through the study of sociology are absolutely inimitable, regardless of the paths we eventually walk our way. The attitude to understand and develop empathy for diverse populace and cultures, the ability to think critically about social problems and social policy, and the aptitude to analyse data and interpret materials and write coherently are just a few of the many skills the study of sociology stands for.

Our Masters‘ programme and research activities focus on topics and themes vital to the discipline and have been oriented towards addressing contemporary sociological issues in their thematic, theoretical and methodological aspects that have both basic and applied dimensions. Students and faculties put their best of endeavour to bring semblance between time- suited course curriculums and need based CBCS pedagogy. The Department has all that it should/must have including high-tech class rooms, smart classes, a full-fledged computer laboratory and a departmental library. We offer a unique environment in which to study sociology, either on its own or in combination with other disciplines, and to pursue sociological research at the cutting edge of the discipline. Availability of several open elective courses floated by relevant departments facilitates reciprocity and exchange of students among them within the University.
