About the Department of
Sociology
The Department of Sociology at
Holy Cross College, Agartala, began offering the General course from 2009 and
introduced the Honours programme in 2015. Since then, the department has been
committed to fostering critical thinking and social awareness among students,
equipping them to engage meaningfully with the world around them. Our academic
programs are designed to help students understand and analyse the structures,
institutions, and inequalities that shape human society, while also engaging
with contemporary social issues and possible solutions.
Backed by a team of dedicated
faculty members with expertise in diverse areas of sociology, the department
offers a vibrant learning environment. Students benefit from excellent
infrastructure, including smart classrooms, access to a well-resourced library,
and a multi-media resource centre that supports both teaching and research.
Our curriculum combines
theoretical knowledge with practical engagement, encouraging students to
explore multiple sociological perspectives. A wide range of elective options
ensures interdisciplinary exposure, while personalized academic support is
provided to address the varied learning needs of our students.
To enrich academic life, the
department regularly organizes seminars, conferences, and workshops that expose
students to current national and international sociological debates.
Areas of teaching and research
include: Sociology of Religion, Family, Marriage and Kinship, Gender,
Development, Education, Work, Rural and Urban Society, Economic and Political
Sociology, Criminology, Population Studies, Environmental Sociology, and Sociology
