A student-centred, diverse and inclusive learning community that engages in critical social inquiry — extending knowledge to enrich individual and public life.
The Department of Sociology started in 1966 with the establishment of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College — a founding department of the institution.
Over the years, student preference for Sociology as an elective at the undergraduate level rose substantially, building the foundation that justified introducing the Honours Course in 2003. That growth in turn made the postgraduate course possible.
The PG programme ran initially on a co-opt basis with the Department of Sociology at Guru Gobind Singh College for Women across 2016-17 and 2017-18. With the College Management's support, the Department began running its postgraduate course independently in 2018, with a batch of 60 students.
The Department now enrols students from diverse national and international backgrounds. Faculty specialisations cluster around gender studies, rural development, family studies, development sociology, and research methodology — a range that allows students to work across the principal sub-fields of the discipline.
From gender studies to rural development, from family sociology to research methods, the Department welcomes students prepared to ask difficult questions about the social world.
