Hi. Bachelor of Arts B.A. Honours in Sociology is a full-time three-year undergraduate degree course offered by the Gauhati University, Guwahati. Gauhati University was established by an ACT of the State Legislature, namely, the Gauhati University ACT 1947 (Assam ACT XVI of 1947), of the Government of Assam in the year 1948. The University is funded by the University Grants Commission and the Government of Assam. Besides, various agencies of the Central and State Government provide various grants and assistance for Research and other Academic activities. The University is in its 58th year existence, and is the oldest, the largest, and the most premier seat of higher education in the entire North Eastern Region of India. It was indeed a dream come true for thousands of people of Assam who had relentlessly agitated for decades for an institute of higher education in the province when Gauhati University was established on 26 January, 1948. For a long time, the only university in the entire eastern region was at Calcutta. This university catered to the needs not only of the students from Bengal but also of those from Bihar, Orissa and Assam. Naturally, therefore, seats for students from Assam were extremely limited and very often even meritorious students found themselves ousted in the fray. Over the years, this had caused resentment among the educated Assamese youth and the necessity of a separate university began to be acutely felt.
