OVERVIEW

The Department of Social Sciences and Humanities offers a vibrant and interdisciplinary learning environment through the B.A. Programme with three subject combinations: Economics–History, Economics–Political Science, and History–Political Science. The department is committed to fostering critical thinking, analytical skills, and a deeper understanding of social, political, economic, and historical processes that shape contemporary society.

Our curriculum is designed in accordance with contemporary educational frameworks and includes Skill Enhancement Courses (SECs), Ability Enhancement Courses (AECs), Value-Added Courses (VACs), and Generic Electives (GEs). These courses provide students with a balanced blend of disciplinary knowledge, practical skills, and holistic development.

The department is supported by a dedicated team of highly qualified and research-oriented faculty members who actively engage in teaching, research, and academic collaborations. Students are encouraged to pursue higher studies and research in disciplines such as Political Science, History, Economics, and Hindi, while also preparing for competitive examinations and diverse career opportunities.

To enrich the academic experience, the department regularly organizes seminars, workshops, guest lectures, conferences, and panel discussions featuring eminent scholars and practitioners from India and abroad. These activities expose students to emerging ideas and contemporary debates in the social sciences and humanities.

The departmental society, Abhivyakti, provides a dynamic platform for intellectual, cultural, and extracurricular engagement. Through quizzes, debates, cultural events, alumni interactions, and community-oriented activities, students are encouraged to develop leadership, creativity, and communication skills. The society also publishes the annual departmental magazine Agragami and organizes the annual departmental festival Mridang, both of which showcase the talents and achievements of students.

The department takes pride in its accomplished alumni, who have made significant contributions in Civil Services, Academia, Research, Entrepreneurship, Sports, and various other professional fields, serving as an inspiration to current and future generations of students.
