History is a powerhouse of information. It records the events, happenings and challenges of humankind in its totality, unmindful of space and time. The History department through its subject directs the learner towards the exploration of the events in the context of both National and International happenings. Today our study has become more critical and scientific as we dive into the catalogue of events in a descriptive manner. The subject of history directs our enthusiasm to know and wonder about our own doings and thereby inspires us to learn more and achieve better in the years to come. The course tries to keep in mind the three important aims of Higher Education – innovative learning, research and comparative study building up within the student a thirst for excellence.

The Department of History is one of the oldest departments of St Agnes College, Mangalore., established in the year 1921. In the past 98 years decades it has educated thousands of graduates who have made their mark in society.
