At present we have a thriving band of research scholars pursuing their Ph.D. degrees under the able supervision of our faculty members. There are approximately a hundred research scholars in our department and the Ph.D. submission award rate per annum is approximately three. Besides the core conventional and foundational courses cultural, socio-economic, political, and religious aspects of various epochs of Indian History, the department also offers a diverse array of courses on European and Asian History. Courses on Intellectual History of China and Japan, Contemporary World, History of Nepal and Sri Lanka, History of South-East Asia are blended along with thematic courses on Tribal History, Gender, Diaspora Studies and History of Dalit Studies. The department also offers courses on Maritime History and Trade. Recently we have introduced courses in emerging areas such as History of Science & Technology, Medicine, History of Environment and Ecology. Recently the department has also introduced another course for master’s students called MA in heritage management. Responses from the students are encouraging and we are determined to develop these courses as our major thrust areas for research in the coming days. These new areas allow the blending of sociological and anthropological perspectives, opening possibilities of the realization of interdisciplinary research in a rigorous manner.
