About Department

Our department was established in 2001 as an integral part of the college. Initially, the subject was offered only at the undergraduate level. Keeping in mind the enrollment of students and the importance of the subject, the college offered the subject at the P.G level in 2013-14. Since then, our department has been making progress at both U.G and P.G levels continuously.
