Department of Philosophy
About the Department:
The Department of Philosophy was established in 2007, the same year the College came into existence. Since its inception, the department has offered Philosophy as an elective subject under the B.A. programme. Its primary objective is to introduce students to the essential concepts and traditions of philosophical thinking, encouraging them to explore life’s fundamental questions and develop critical reasoning skills. The department supports students in understanding philosophical perspectives that span across time and cultures. It places emphasis on nurturing rational thought, moral reflection, and intellectual curiosity. Special attention is given to students who require academic support, through remedial and mentoring sessions. Despite facing limitations in faculty strength, the department remains committed to the comprehensive growth of its students—academically, ethically, and personally.
