The Department of History, established in 1948, along with the very inception of Gauhati University itself, is a pioneer in the Northeastern region of India. The Department aims at academic excellence and fosters higher education and research through interaction with other universities as the way forward to world development. The courses offered have implications and challenges for an active futur
e contribution to an understanding of the current social reality entrenched in historical roots. The programmes seek to connect with the collective history of various communities. The main thrust is on historiography, regional history, marginalized voices that includes gender studies. Attempts are made to expose the students to new ideas and trends in histor y- writing through lectures and interaction with renowned scholars, discussions, seminars, and study tours. The Faculty has been actively engaged in research and projects funded by UGC, ICHR, and ICSSR with particular emphasis on the North eastern region. Associate Professor
