Sociology is the most contemporary and versatile of the Social Sciences. It trains students to grasp social structure, understand social processes, map the dynamics of social change, decipher social interaction and make sense of individual and collective experiences in their social, historical and cultural contexts. Sociology encourages critical thinking by questioning assumptions, challenging stereotypes, and examining social phenomena from multiple perspectives. It helps students develop a more nuanced understanding of the world and resist simplistic explanations of complex social problems.

The Dept. of Sociology was established in the year 2006 in Govt. College Sanjauli. To begin with, the Department started with 52 students and now has grown up to the strength of 550 students which shows exponential growth of the department. The Department is committed to learning through doing and learning as an act of dialogue. The academic calendar is dotted with a range of formal and informal activities that will keep up the excitement of learning. Students are encouraged to take part in the academic and cultural life of the college.

The department believes in the holistic and overall development of student’s competencies and critical faculties. It endeavours to equip them to take part in wide range career paths upon graduating.
