Vision:

Through teaching and outreach efforts in Indian history within the framework of global history, the History Department seeks to increase students' awareness of the past and its legacy. We think that students can comprehend the present and look towards the future only if they have a critical understanding of the past.


Mission:

  • Transform the students into citizens who are critically informed about the past and its consequences for the present and future.
  • Through their practicum, seminars, and extension activities (such as historical tours and travels), we encourage our students to actively interact with the past—not as spectators but as practitioners and participants.
