The Department organises students meet, various competitions, Special Lectures, Guest Lectures by Resources persons from regional institutes. We have various student development programslike add-on courses. Field visits are undertaken every year, and the students are encouraged to attend symposia, seminars and conference (South Indian History Congress, Tamil Nadu History Congress and Indian History Congress) with proper guidance from the faculties.
Historical Studies aims at helping students to understand the present existing social, political, religious and economic conditions of the people. The present is in fact development of the past. Without the knowledge of history we cannot have the background of our religion, customs institutions, administration and so on. Our present conditions are thus the result of the past problems.
