About Department

 

The department of Sociology came into existence in the year 1955 as an integral part of the Institute of Social Sciences (the then: Agra University, Agra) now Dr.Bhim Rao Ambedkar University, Agra. It was aimed to impart postgraduate teaching and research in Sociology along with social work and social psychology. However, the social work course became and independent or separate department in 1983. Initially the department had adopted the annual examination system but since 1970 it switched over to the semester system along with adopting an alternative course of study, that is an alternative to the university run course, which is pursued by the P.G. Colleges affiliated to the university. The department is regarded as a role model for teaching and research in sociology due to its high standards. Research is an essential aspect of the activities of the members of the department. These activities are undertaken at different levels. The collective work of the members of the department express itself in four ways:
· Planning and execution of research projects on behalf of the department.
· Organization of and participation in research seminars of the Institute.
· Production of the institute research journal “The Journal of Social Sciences”
(Discontinued).
· Supervision and guidance of the work of numerous research students working for
their research degree.
The number of students in department limit to only one section of 30 to 40 students for M.A. and 15 seats for M.Phil course. The admission of students is based on the test-cummerit rule. At present 15 students are actively pursuing their Ph.D. The department has had the unique distinction of organizing many conferences for both Indian Sociological Association and Uttar Pradesh Sociological Association. Besides, this one conference of the World Sociological Conference was organized under the convenership of Lt. Prof. R.N.Saxena, Head, Department of Sociology, who was also the founder Director of the institute.
Distinguished sociologist of international repute like Prof. Yogendra Singh, Prof. D.N.Dhanagra, Prof. Yogesh Atal, Prof. Indra Dev, Prof. R.N.Saxena, Prof. P.K.Srivastava, Prof. S.L.Sharma and Prof. S.V.Pande had been members of the department and at one or other stage of its development.

Since the inception the thrust has been to study and impart training in statistical applications in various fields, social sciences in particular. In 1977, the department designed the first course in computer applications in the university when there were no computers in the university. The assistance of AMU was taken for arranging practice sessions on their mainframe systems for the statistics. The department has the distinction of installing the first mainframe computer in 1985. Since then the department has been imparting training in computer applications. Presently, the department runs M.Stat. and M.Phil (Statistics) courses. Curricular Aspects Students of M.Phil are required to complete four theory papers and one dissertation on recent developments in statistical theory and practice.
