Department of Sociology - Estd.1964

The Department of sociology of this college is one of the earliest departments in the subject, in India. It came into existence and became the first Sociology Department under Kerala University. It has produced more than a thousand Sociology graduates over the past 40 years. The Department has been continuing its excellent academic record since its inception.

The Department organizes social exposure programmes, nature study trips, quiz competitions, periodic get-together and celebrations to mark important occasions, poster exhibitions, seminars, group discussions, periodical meetings with parents etc. The social exposure programmes include visits to tribal communities, slums, hospitals, juvenile homes, homes for the destitute etc. The various extra and co-curricular activities equip our students for a healthy community life in future. The students are also given opportunities to participate in seminars and conferences conducted by agencies /organizations outside, under the supervision of the faculty.

The Association of Former Students of Sociology (AFSS) functions effectively to establish and maintain contact with our former students. It publishes a bi-annual news letter, "Socio News", and organises various programmes.
