Sociology Department

History of the Department of Sociology

The Department of Sociology was established in 1986 by the then Principal Dr.H.Basanna. Later on, Prof.N.Eshwarappa, a great academician and a noted administrator had given impetus for the development of the subject in the College. The contribution and continuous support of these two great personalities for the growth of Sociology at Veerashaiva College is incredible. The department was started with just five students only. In the subsequent years, 80% of the Arts students in the total admission opted sociology as one of the optional subjects.  The qualified and rich experienced faculty in the department contributed to the increase of strength.

Sociology has become popular at different levels of Modern Society. Its role is not less significant in enriching our culture and heritage. It develops job skills among the learners. Most of the job aspirants choose Sociology as an optional subject for I.A.S. / I.P.S. and such other competitive examinations. It indicates the widening importance of Sociology. It makes students to become more objective, rational, critical and dispassionate. Students of Sociology especially those trained in research procedures are in increase in demand in Business, Government, Industry, City Planning, Social work, Social welfare, Supervision, Advertising, Communication, Administration and many other areas of community life.
