The history department was introduced in this college in 1920, the year of foundation of the college.  The Department’s mission is twofold: to introduce students to the breadth and depth of the human experience by a comparative study of past and contemporary societies and cultures, and to develop their ability to conduct research, analyse and assess evidence, and articulate sound conclusions both orally and in writing; to train students to understand the social, cultural, political and economic forces in their historical context which have changed our world.

The vision of the department is to developing a capacity for independent thought, critical analysis, self-awareness and social awareness by the nurturing of a keen sense of individual and social responsibility and the building of respect for cultural diversity and the rule of law.
