History Department

The History Department aims to make the students aware of the past and its legacies through teaching, research and extension activities in Indian history in the context of world history.  We believe that only a critical understanding of the past will enable the students to understand the present and help them look towards the future

• Transform the students into citizens who are critically informed about the past and its consequences for the present
• Promote studies in history, society and culture of Maharashtra in general and Maratha history in particular 
• Empower students to cope with the challenges of globalization by instilling in them a life-long passion for learning about the past. The knowledge about the interconnections between the global, national, regional and local history will equip the students to face the challenges with confidence.
