The Department of Political Science was instituted in 1959 along with the establishment of the College with undergraduate course and later on post-graduate course was introduced. Mr M.N. Anand was the founding faculty member of the department in the college. This is one of the most active, vibrant and innovative departments. It is the only bilingual (Hindi and English) department. Department consists of young and enthusiastic teachers committed to creating a democratic academic culture. Several teachers from the department have taught post-graduate classes and guided research students. Teachers have actively contributed in academic and administrative bodies, such as Executive Council and Academic Council of the University. Some of the faculty members have been on the editorial boards of reputed national and international journals. The department endeavours to impart a holistic education. Our pedagogy is influenced by the philosophy of balance and the need to develop all facets of one’s personality. In our stakeholders, we try to inculcate the values of integrity and commitment, in the classroom and beyond. Students are made aware of their social roles and responsibilities through extended learning hours in the activities of NSS, NCC, Eco-Club, WDC and other college societies.
The department envisions endowing each student with life-long learning capabilities, creative thinking, innovative skills and humanitarian values. The primary goal of the department is to provide students with the conceptual and analytical understanding of political institutions and processes of the state. Our objective is to create an academic environment in which students can acquire knowledge of the discipline, develop their academic skill, think critically about the world around them and prepare to become good citizens. The Department has a vibrant and interactive learning atmosphere, enabling students to develop their intellectual as well as aesthetic faculties.
