The Department of Sociology offers an undergraduate three years Honours course and Generic Electives to other Honours courses. The department was started in 1974. It trains students to develop a 'sociological imagination' and to make connections between the private and the public domain. The department has consistently been producing two or three University rank holders from each class every year. Equipped with these skills our students move on to successful postgraduate programmes such as social work, sociology, mass communication, human resource management, development studies, and law in the best universities all over the world. Our students find placement in diverse fields such as the media, publishing houses, the corporate sector, the public sector, NGOs (national and international), research, and many other sectors related to development. The students of the Department have represented India at International Youth Exchange Forums, World Youth Forum and as UN volunteers. In the academic year 2019-2020, the department has also started teaching the BA Programme. The uniqueness of Sociology demands that creative and imaginative methods are adopted to teach students. The Department believes in the adage that Sociology surrounds us and that the only way to be truly sociological is to have a dialogue with one another. Therefore, the classroom teaching is not top-down but is done in an interactive way through the use of chalk and talk, newspaper analysis, films, multimedia and field visits. One of the first lessons given to the students is based purely on visuals. Visual methods provide a means to understand the practices of representations as cultural texts, develop interpretations of meanings in socio-cultural contexts, and decode images of social relations and individual experiences. These methods applied along with reading the relevant texts drive student motivation and interest in learning, and induce sociological imagination and critical thinking. There are also invited lectures, panel discussions and seminars on themes and issues about the syllabus as well as sociologically important. Given the pandemic situation in the world methods of online teaching and learning have been adopted.
