ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The department of Historical Studies was created in the year 1986. Initially both summer sequential programme and regular programme in M.Phil Historical Studies were offered by the department. The main objective of the department is to make women visible in history through research. All research scholars both PhD and M.Phil choose topics pertaining to women. Thereby we were able to restore the history and status of women belonging to various communities/various field of TamilNadu.
