in 1959 as a constituent of the Delhi School of Economics. To begin with, the department trained students for two courses: M.A. and Ph.D. In 1966 a two-year course for the M.Litt. degree was introduced. This has been replaced since 1976 by an M.Phil. degree course of a year’s duration. In 1968, the department was recognised as a Centre of Advanced Study (CAS) in Sociology by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The department receives a renewable five-year grant from the UGC under the CAS scheme.

In 2010, Professor Nandini Sundar from the department, won the Infosys prize in the field of social anthropology.


Department of Geography

The department traces its origin to October 1959, when under the initiative of Professor V.K.R.V. Rao, the then Vice-Chancellor of the University and an eminent Economist, a Department of Human Geography was established as a constituent of the Delhi School of Economics. Professor George Kuriyan, a well-known geographer of India at that time, was the first professor and founder of the department. In 1966, Professor V.L.S. Prakasha Rao took over from him and guided the Department until 1973. The department has expanded considerably since 1973. The name of the Department was changed to the Department of Geography in 1976 to indicate the widening scope of teaching and research activity in physical and human aspects of Geography.


Department of Commerce

In December 1967, the Department of Commerce was established as a separate department by carving it out of the composite Department of Economics and Commerce, Delhi School of Economics. It became an independent faculty in 1992. Currently, along with the Department of Financial Studies, it constitutes the Faculty of Commerce and Business Studies. The Department of Commerce started a one-year full-time Post-graduate Diploma in International Marketing (PGDIM) in the year 1985–86. PGDIM remains as a management course in the Department of Commerce. PGDIM is currently coordinated with Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, University of Delhi. The department also offers a full-time two-year Master’s programme in International Business (MIB), laying special emphasis on aspects of international business operations including Global Marketing and International Financial Management. The Master of Human Resource and Organisational Development (MHROD) programme was started by the Department in 1995 to impart managerial competencies in the domain of Human Resource Management and Organizational Development. From 2014, the MIB and MHROD courses have been restructured as MBA (IB) and MBA (HRD) respectively.
