Dr. B.B. Mohanty, Head
(head.soc@pondiuni.edu.in)
The Department of Sociology was established
in January 1993 and the first batch of M.A
and Ph.D. degree students were admitted
during the 1993-94 academic year. From its
inception, the Department has stressed the
need for training human resources required
for the employment market and accordingly
oriented its curriculum and course work that
emphasized application in addition to sound
theoretical understanding. Our instructional
methods pay special attention to developing
skills in use of computers not only for data
analysis but also as a tool for sourcing
information and accessing databases around
the world through the internet. Our alumini
students are employed in such reputed
organizations as WIPRO and Ramco Systems
as well as in State and Central Government
concerns. A few have found lucrative
employment in countries such as North
America, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
The research areas undertaken by students
and faculty members cover Human Resource
Management, Development and Health
Policy, Dual Career Families and Family
Policy, Sociology of Nursing, Non-

Change, Sophisticated Causal Modeling of
Health Seeking Behaviour and collecting and
analyzing primary data on Communities in
the neighborhood.
