Syllabus for

Academic Year  (2024)

This course emphasizes both the theoretical and the practical aspects of statistical analysis, focusing on techniques for estimating statistical models of various kinds. The goal is to help you develop a solid theoretical background in statistics, and the ability to implement the techniques and critique empirical studies in social sciences.

CO1: Explain what is meant by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

CO2: Understand the characteristics, uses advantages, and disadvantages of each measure of central tendency and measure of dispersion.

CO3: Describe the classical, empirical, and subjective approaches to probability.

CO4: Describe the five-step hypothesis testing.

CO5: Calculate and interpret the coefficient of correlation, the coefficient of determination and the standard error of the estimate.

The Indian subcontinent has exhibited remarkable evidence of the origins of state formations, developments in terms of social formations, and traditions of culture. This course aims to introduce the students to this rich repository of ideas and concepts about the subcontinent, particularly the ancient and early medieval periods. The course concentrates on aspects of society and social formation of the northern and southern regions of the subcontinent. Aspects of social hierarchy, formation of social groups, social mobility, acquiring significance to one social group, and erstwhile marginalization of others are concerns of this course. 

Culture and cultural traditions in India have adapted to new trends and tendencies, quickly allowing elements of assimilation. The course aims to look at peculiarities of early societies like the chalcolithic cultures up to the early medieval cultural tradition of Sufism. Polity and state formation in India are unique in their ways, with many political powers experimenting with their theories of state in the region. Many historians have theorized various aspects of state formation in different regions of India about different chronological periods. This course introduces those theories to the students, enabling them to form a comprehensive idea of Indian history, specializing through the lens of polity, society, and culture. 

Course Objectives: 

• To introduce the students to various theories of state formation in ancient and early medieval India.

• To engage the students in debates and discussions about various elements of social formation in the Indian subcontinent.

• To familiarize the students with aspects of culture, peculiarities of cultural elements, and elements of cultural assimilation and synthesis as seen in the Indian subcontinent.

• To introduce the students to the life, society, polity, and culture of Indians, focusing on ancient and early medieval periods, thereby helping the students critically analyze life in early India.

Public policies essentially capture the intentions of the government. Without a policy, there can be no governance. To govern there must be a set of guidelines. Policies provide those guidelines. Policies enable the public to measure the achievements of the government. A policy document lists out the intentions or objectives of the government for a social problem. This course introduces the foundations of public policy to the students. Policies on important subjects like Health, Education Forests and Environment etc. are important areas of study in this course

The course is designed to introduce students to environmental economics issues and theory. The course also aims at a detailed treatment of the intersection of the economy, environment and human society. The course has two major areas of focus. The first part will cover the ways in which markets fail to allocate resources efficiently in the presence of pollution and the various policy options available to rectify market failures. The second part will provide the various market-based and non-market-based approaches to environmental valuation. The course will also introduce other aspects of the linkages between society and the environment.
