Academic Department

The Department was established in the year 1944. The two years B.A. pass course programme was started in the year 1947. History, like other disciplines is a growing subject and perspectives and interpretations tend to change with new theories, new methods of analysis, availability of new sources and changing contexts. The last five decades have seen the growth of new areas of historical study such as environment, women, urbanization, population, agrarian system, trade and a host of other areas. It is important therefore, to incorporate the new areas of historical interest in the syllabus.
