The School consists of five departments, namely the Departments of Political Science, History, Sociology and Law, and Cultural and Creative Studies. All these departments continue to be actively involved in teaching and research. Members of the faculty have been attending regional, national or international conferences in their subjects. Seminars and workshops too have been organised. Two departments, namely, History and Sociology, brought under the Special Assistance Programme of the UGC, are engaged in individual and also collective projects. The Department of Law was started in 2005.
