The department organizes students’ study tours on a regular basis. Students of M. A course as well as research students of the department participate in these tours and are expected to undertake preparatory activities / assignments on the basis of which they are selected for the study tours.

So far, students have studied assembly elections in states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat and Goa as a part of the study tours, have visited work of social organizations in Mahahrashtra and participated in the camps of social movements like NAPM.

The study tours were part of the UGC’s research programmes at the department under the SAP and the CAS scheme and are now a regular feature of the Department’s annual budget sanctioned by the University.
