The Department of Political Science was set up in 1993. However, honours course in Political Science was started of late in 2017 with a beginning with just few students. Since then there is no turning back and the Department now has witnessed massive increase in the strength of students every year. And because of its popularity, it has become the most sought subject of study among the students. Politics is all pervasive and its influence in every aspect of human life cannot be denied. Thus, an understanding of politics is essential for everyone to become active and productive members of society. The discipline of Political Science studies the theory and practice of politics and thus has immense relevance and scope. While political philosophers have reflected on the basic questions of political life since the beginning of recorded history, the field remains dynamic as the concerns and focus of the discipline keep expanding over the decades in response to the changing socio-political landscape at both the national and international level.
