Vision and Message of Head of Department

Dr. Pradeep Kumar Parida

Professor

The Department of Sociology at Pondicherry University was established in 1993. The Department offers academic programmes and encourages research and consultancy in Sociology. Our vision is to encourage students and scholars to acquire critical knowledge, theoretical insights and research skills through rigorous and continuous training. The strength of our department lies in its diversity in terms of – age groups, gender representation and also diverse backgrounds of faculty. Our mission is to produce critical and reflexive thinkers and actors who can make a difference as informed global citizens. The Department offers Ph.D., M.A., Integrated M.A. (since 2012-13 onwards) and B.A. Honours (since 2023-24 onwards). The outcome of these programs are: to create opportunities and skills for the scholars’ academic research career, to provide skills for higher learning and career opportunities in Government and Non-Government sectors, to enable students academically to pursue higher education, and to provide students field based training and counselling for internship and employment opportunities. We prepare students for a diverse and increasingly global job.
