About School of Social Sciences Mahatma Gandhi University

The School of Social Sciences (SSS) was established in October 1989 as an interdisciplinary department in accordance with the directives of the University Grants Commission to facilitate teaching and research beyond the conventional disciplinary boundaries. Rather than an assemblage of centres specializing several disciplines as independent facets, it is a single centre for teaching and research cutting across conventional contours and boundaries of disciplines. All the major social science disciplines are dealt with at the SSS, as vigorously interacting disciplines that incessantly nullify their status as free-standing domains.
