ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE OF THE SCHOOL

(Vice Chancellor Prof. Satyaprakash, Prof. R. K. Tiwari of IIPA New Delhi and Dr. A. P. S. Chauhan during Fourth Prof. Amreshwar Awasthi Memorial Lecture)

The School of studies in Political Science and Public Administration has organized its M. A. Political Science, M.P.A.; M. Phil. Political Science, M. Phil. Public Administration, & M.F.A. academic programs around broad rubrics, viz. : -

1. Political Theory and Ideologies,
2. Politics in India,
3. Comparative Politics,
4. Public Administration,
5. Research Methodology,
6. Financial Administration, and
7. Development

However, the School also believes that for a critical understanding of Social Science Students Would also need some exposure to areas like Political Economy, International Politics, Grassroots politics & Human Rights. In the structuring of courses an attempt has therefore been made to include "hard core essential" of Political Science and Public Administration on one hand and the "Inter-facial" aspects of cognate disciplines with interdisciplinary/ multidisciplinary approach on the other.

Prof. Pushpesh Pant, Vice Chancellor Prof. Satyaprakash and Dr. A. P. S. Chauhan during Memorial Lecture of H. H. Shrimant Madhav Rao Scindia on 10th March 2002
