FROM THE DESK OF HOD

Political Science is such a subject that deals with the various themes like democracy, governments ,powers , Constitutions, politics, global politics, political culture, comparative politics and Indian Political thought and Philosophies and Western Political Thought and Philosophies. This subject as a discipline enriches its students with the knowledge of political systems, political philosophies and thoughts and governances patterns of the various countries of the world. The course concerned with the political Science is making its students fit for understanding holistic concept of democracies, governances, policies ,diplomacies that which are necessary to be aware of by a individual as a citizen. Democracy will not be successful until and unless its citizens are virtuous and educated. In respect of this fact, the department has been trying to give the best to its students by instilling the ideas of politics and governing patterns into them. It can also firmly be said that without the political knowledge of the citizens no nation, no county can go ahead to the zenith of socio-political developments in democracy.
