Mission & Vision

The sociology department at Ballia recognised the importance of disseminating the finding of sociological research and training the next generation of sociologists and decided to introduce undergraduate courses in Sociology quite early on. Interdisciplinary has always been an article of faith for sociology under the auspices of Ballia University and it constantly endeavoured to introduce sub-discipline and special areas of study in response. You may find how JNCU will find its legacy and this Legacy is lived and vision is equalized in the following pages that elucidate the learning outcome Framework for the undergraduate and post-graduate, Ph.D. curriculum for sociology at University JNCU.

The scholarly and institutional foundations of the sociology discipline were laid by eminent Sociologist, late Professor G S Ghurye at the University of Mumbai. The Department of Sociology, JNCU Ballia, believed to disseminate social, cultural, moral and secular values and trained students with these values as well trained with critical thinking about social phenomena and society. The Department of Sociology, JNCU conceived as interdisciplinary and became a school of thought.
