Sociology

The Department of Sociology is one of the principal humanities departments of the College and came into being with the establishment of Government Post Graduate College Gairsain in the year 2001. The importance of Sociology as a subject cannot be undermined as it helps in giving the students a perspective on the evolution of mankind and teaches them the Social progress of various civilizations. The Graduate programme has a balanced course content covering the evolution of human Socialization from time immemorial to recent times. A comparative analysis of Sociological developments in India and the world is provided to students during the three years of study. The course prepares students to pursue careers in academics, research, civil services, defense services journalism, mass communication, law & Social Works.

Class room interactions are an occasion to cultivate a range of related skills such as those of writing, critical thinking, as well as the ability to discerningly wade through innumerable details and complex arguments. The department implemented online teaching in face of COVID19 to facilitate teaching-learning process; hopefully, in future online mode would complement classroom experience. At present Dr. Haresh Ram is working as Assistant Professor in  Dept. of Sociology.

At present 92 students are admitted in the subject of Sociology. 44 in the first year of graduation, 26 in the second year of graduation and 22 in the third year of graduation
