History

About

“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday"- Pearl S. Buck
Through the teaching-learning of History, we are committed to inculcate and develop the socio-cultural sensitivities of our students. Our students have been successful in media, defence, academics, civil services and multinational corporations. Besides these avenues, History also offers new and exciting opportunities in research institutions, archaeology, museology, archives, heritage management and historical tourism.
Both Core and Discipline Specific Electives of our Honours and Programme courses prepare students to understand the historical processes beginning from the most ancient times that have resulted in the burgeoning of India and the globalisation of the world. We strive to make the study of History more interesting and engaging through presentations, projects, and interactive sessions with eminent historians and through visits to various museums and heritage sites. The Department society, Dharohar, organises these events.
