About the Department
Department of Sociology begins its journey on 8 November, 2016 with 15 students (in P.G. 1st Semester) and only one Faculty (Sri. Kumar Chhetri) in Raiganj University. After that U.G. Course started on 10 July, 2017. At present the total number of student of this department comes around 92(U.G. 1st , 3rd & 5th Semester and P.G. 1st & 3rd Semester) and total number of Faculty is 5. Ph.D is introduced in the Department in 2020-21. Total 16 students get admitted in PhD Programme. As Raiganj is a border area and majority of students belong to rural areas surrounding the University it’s a great opportunity for the Department of Sociology to initiate research projects on varied significant social issues involving students after their completion of their U.G. and P.G Course. At the same time it’s a challenge for this department to develop sociological outlook among the students so that they can build up an attitude to serve the community in future.
