The journey of the Department of Sociology was started in the year 2001 as an elective subject of B.A. General Course with an intake capacity of 150 students. Academically our students have consistently performed well & the Department of Sociology is known for its good record. The medium of language used to teach students are both in Bengali as well as in English. The departmental library has topic related sociology text & reference books and is few stocked for catering to the needs of the students in both Bengali and English.

Though the department presently has only one full time faculty but sincere efforts by the faculty fulfil the need of the students as far as possible for understanding of the subject and intellectual development of the students. The department encourages student-teacher interaction in subject related and career development related.
