PROFILE

In 1999, the Department of History was established and started offering Model II BA History Programme with Communication and Publishing Science as Vocational Subjects, although History was offered as a Subsidiary Subject to BA Economics students since 1978. Dr T M Mathew was the first Head of the Department of History. In June 2024, the title of the programme was changed to BA History (Honours) with Communication and Publishing Science as Specialisation after the introduction of Four Year Undergraduate Programme in Kerala. Rev. Fr. Mathew Velamkunnel CMI, Rev. Fr. T T Cherian Thalakulam CMI, Dr T M Mathew, and Dr Rosamma Mathew have retired after offering distinguished service to the department. As part of vocational training, students receive on-the-job training in printing and publishing at St. Joseph’s Press, Mannanam. The students of the department have secured University ranks and brought several laurels to the college.
