Introduction

We, the faculty at Department of History believes that knowledge about past is power and that knowledge strengthens the mind, body and spirit of humans and make them socially useful citizens.  History was taught in K.E. College since 1978, as part of Department of Economics.  In 1999-2000 Model II B.A History (Voc.)
