The Department of Political Science at Government College, Mokeri, was established in 1991 to fulfill the curricular requirements of the third group Pre-Degree program. Over the years, it has evolved into a vital component of the institution’s academic offerings, significantly contributing to the History graduate program by providing a complementary paper.
In the academic year 2024-2025, the department broadened its academic scope under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) by introducing two Minor Courses—Indian Constitution and Human Rights.
