Established in the year 1964, the department of political science in Raja Rammohan Roy Mahavidyalaya stands out to be one of the premier departments of the institution offering both honors and general course in the subject since its inception. At present there are four full time teachers and four SACTs sincerely committed to the development of academic as well as co-curricular faculty of the young learners. Students are inspired not only to delve deeper into the subject through their active participation in the regular teaching-learning process but they are also encouraged to hone their ability of critical thinking through the organization of various activities like seminars, conferences, quiz competitions and youth parliament. The rich treasure of books in the departmental library caters to satiate the craving of the students for knowledge in and outside the syllabus.
