FOREWORD
Social and cultural activities are important in preparing students for real life, and in strengthening
their personal skills. Social / cultural events not only help students connect with the college but also
help students excel in a desired area and enhance skills such as organizational skills, presentation,
leadership and interpersonal communication. As social and cultural events are of utmost
importance, the college promotes all extracurricular activities which are both compatible with the
institution's educational goals and meet the needs of the college.The Association of Political Science
has rendered its presence special in college history by conducting programs on relevant subjects by
inviting dignitaries from different sectors such as politics , law, human rights, education etc. Yet
another academic session flows distinctively past with cultivation of the spirit and social service
activity by Association in college. This study humbly sets out an account of the Association 's
accomplishments in the academic session.
