 Department : Sociology

   The department of Sociology was started in the year 1969. Prof.P.S Dhawale is the founder of the department of sociology. He is the first man heading the department of sociology.  Then sociology was taught  as a minor subject. Since then the department has been slowly expanded. The main contribution for popularising this subject also goes to him. The literature of sociology and books concerned to the department also were inducted in the Library by him. Gradually, the number of  students offering the subject of sociology also increased considerably.                                                                              In the year 1987-88, Sociology was introduced as o major subject in the college by Prof.P.S Dhawale. The credit of introducing this subject as a major subject also goes to him. The first batch of major Sociology consisted around 20 students. Later, in the due course of time the number of students offering Sociology also gradually increased. This shows the interest of students in studying this subject.

        In the year 1988, Prof.P.S Dhawale was appointed as the principal. Then the workload of the department also was increased because the 2nd batch of major Sociology was launched. Shri.V.N Jamkhandi was appointed as Lecturer in Sociology in the year 1988.

In the year 1995, Prin. P.S Dhawale who was also heading the department was retired from his service. Since September, 1995 Prof.V.N. Jamkhandi is heading. In the year July,1996 was promoted as a Lecturer in Senior Scale.

Objectives of the department-

1 ) To popularize Sociology as a teaching subject;

2)  To create awareness in the students regarding the role of sociology in society.

4)  To enlighten the students regarding the scope of sociology in future.

5)  Every year we are placing orders to the library for new latest published books of sociology, with textbooks of department authors and journals so that students can derive maximum use of these books in their academic development.
