Introduction to Political Science

Political Science is the study of political institutions, processes, behavior, and ideologies that shape governance and public affairs. As an academic discipline, it examines power structures, government functioning, policy-making, and the role of citizens in political systems. It blends theory with practical analysis, drawing from history, law, economics, and sociology to understand governance at local, national, and global levels.

Our course in political science offers a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with analytical skills to critically evaluate political developments. Core areas of study include Indian government and politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and public administration. The course also explores contemporary issues such as democracy, human rights, global conflicts, and environmental politics, encouraging students to engage with real- world political challenges.

Emphasizing both classical and modern political thought, the program introduces students to key thinkers like Aristotle, Machiavelli, Marx, and Ambedkar, alongside contemporary debates in political philosophy. Through a combination of lectures, seminars, and research projects, students develop a nuanced understanding of governance and policymaking.

With its interdisciplinary approach, the program prepares graduates for careers in public service, law, journalism, research, and diplomacy. By fostering critical thinking and civic engagement, Political Science provides a strong foundation for those aspiring to contribute to governance, policymaking, or academia in an increasingly complex political world.
