In the earlier phases the Department was functioning as a combined Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the activities were primarily focused to research. Subsequently teaching in anthropology at the post graduate level was introduced in 1963. Bifurcation of the combined department occurred in 1977, and an independent department of Anthropology was established with a view to provide greater autonomy so essential for the development of teaching and research.
