The Department of History is among the oldest departments in the College, introduced when the College was established in 1975. Over the years, the Department has produced many successful graduates, including the current Principal. The faculty is committed to providing the right learning experience which would ensure the all-round development of its students. It has taken steps to promote a close relationship between teachers and students, and organized departmental activities to cultivate academic interest among students.
