Introduction
Keeping in view the rising demand for Sociology, both by public and private sectors, the department started MSc Sociology programme in 2001. The program combines an emphasis on competence in social theory and research methods. Students are trained in several sub fields of sociology in which the faculty has concentrations of expertise. Among these are population dynamics, social statistics, gender issues, development issue, deviance etc. It is this broad perspective that has made sociology a unique and one of the most comprehensive academic disciplines.
