The Department of Sociology was established in 1970. To fulfill the need of quality improvement and to bridge the gap between post graduation and research, the department started with M.Phil. programme. Since the Indian society is still largely rural and a large segment of population is backward and weak, the department has been undertaking studies and teaching in the areas of Rural Sociology, Studies of Weaker Sections of Society with an emphasis on the understanding of Research Methodology and Sociological Theory. There is always a field orientation at all levels of courses to grasp the contemporary social reality. Currently we offer B.A (NEP), M.A. , Pre Ph.D. & Ph.D. programs for the aspiring students.

The department has organized a number of seminars; conferences, lecture series, field work camps, area study programmes during the years. Several research projects have been completed and teachers got fellowships, visitorships, and study grants by centers abroad and in India.

From the very beginning the department encouraged a view of learning by participation. The department has interaction programme between teachers and students through regular participation. Each student of M.A. will prepare and submit a term paper on selected topic in each course and present the same in the seminar. The seminar paper is assessed by teachers and marks are added in the continuous internal assessment of every course/paper which is added in final tally of awards. Weekly seminar is a regular feature in which visitors, teachers and research scholars present their papers on going work. Every research scholar presents his/her research proposal before getting registered for Ph.D Programme and a seminar on the findings of research before submission of his/her thesis.
