Sociology as a discipline always encourages, students to develop reasons for social differences, including differences in social behaviour. They will grow as a citizen who will understand the reasons for the differentials in group opportunities and outcomes. Sociology will also teach them the relevance of social hierarchies and social power in everyday life. Keeping in view the dynamic nature of society, Sociology as a discipline has immense importance to develop competencies and skills required for keeping oneself professionally engaged and personally well informed to participate in the social learning process to update knowledge and practice.
The main purpose of the Undergraduate Programme in Sociology is to develop and disseminate knowledge, skills and values through teaching, field-based training, internship and research projects in order to promote, maintain and improve the functioning of
individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities existing in the society.
