The study of social life, as well as the social causes and consequences of human behavior, is known as sociology. Few fields have such a broad scope, ranging from family studies to hostile mobs, from individual and group behavior in complex organizations to the role of sport in society. Sociology provides many distinct ways of viewing the world in order to offer new ideas and solutions while also evaluating the old. Sociology provides a wide range of research techniques that can be used in a variety of areas of study and practice.

The Department of Sociology was instituted at Alankar Mahila PG Mahavidyalaya in 2006 since the inception of the College. The Department offers instruction in Undergraduate Papers which form part of the curriculum of B.A. (Pass) course of the University of Rajasthan.

Since Sociology is the youngest and perhaps the most versatile of the Social Sciences, the study of the subject remains an integration with other Social Sciences like Psychology, Economics, Political Science, etc.

The Department in the past years in collaboration with other departments at the College have been organizing activities like Guest Lectures, Student Seminars, Exhibitions, Poster Making, etc. for the students.

Students of the Department are also actively involved with activities of National Service Scheme and other avenues of Social Work.
