The Department of Sociology at Sacred Heart College is one of the earliest of its kind in South India. Having been founded in the year 1964, it celebrated its Silver Jubilee in the year 1989.The Department has been elevated to the status of a Post-graduate Department by introducing the M A Programme in Sociology in the Golden Jubilee Year 2014. We have produced nearly 2000 Sociology graduates and qualified professionals. The department is continuing its tradition as one of the college’s foremost centres of excellence, in both academic and extracurricular areas. The Department upholds an unwavering commitment towards educating each generation of students in matters of social relevance and responsibility by providing them opportunities for exposure/outreach/field study programmes other than regular class room study.
I see that a very good family spirit exists in the department and both the faculty and the students work like the members of a large family. I see also very talented students who want to build up their carrier in fields like Business Administration, Social Work, Human Resource Management, and even IAS take up sociology as the subject of their specialization. So, I am very happy to witness the growth of this department over the years and congratulate the management and the teachers who nurtured it over the years.
I had the first taste for Social Activities when I did my BA in Sociology at Sacred Heart College Thevara and the academic flare in me was first ignited by my beloved Professors in the department. The Course in Sociology was nothing but a practical field experience which oscillated between classroom and real life situations and it definitely helped me in finding my areas of interest and in shaping my career in future which was nothing but Sociology itself.
I choose Sacred Heart College Thevara because I thought that living and studying in a metropolitan city like Kochi would offer unique opportunities. The outreach programmes conducted by the department really helped me to realize the realities of the outside world and it paved my interest to learn more about people and various communities.
I had the privilege of accepting an invitation by the Department of Sociology of Sacred Heart College, Thevara to conduct an orientation programme for the students on Career Opportunities at the Various Central Government Departments of India. The department organised the seminar, ensuring participation in great numbers.
Sacred Heart College opened a wider horizon for me. It gave me the opportunity to both learn and unlearn. The department of sociology of the college helped me gain a better perspective.
