Sociology Department

About the Department

The Department of Sociology was founded in 2010, with Dr. Md Rizwan serving as a passionate trailblazer who laid its foundation and guided its early stages. The Department of Sociology admits students to its four-year graduate programme. Major areas of teaching are: Sociology of Religion, Sociology of Marginalized Communities, Social Anthropology and Population Studies. We prioritize critical empiricism, theoretical involvement, and a comparative approach, which are fundamental to our disciplinary heritage. Our department also promotes interdisciplinary investigations alongside related areas of social thinking and research.
