Anthropology

Department of Anthropology has been formally started as a new department within Rajiv Gandhi University from 1st June 2012 with the joining of Prof. Sarit K. Chaudhuri, the founder head of the department. This has followed by the joining of three Assistant Professors, Dr. Dhritiman Sarma, Dr. Mohammad Asghar and Ms. Radhe Amung, representing three fundamental branches of Anthropology. However, the Post Graduate Course in Anthropology actually began in 2001 as part of academic programmes in Arunachal Institute of Tribal Studies (AITS) and all faculty members of the Institute contributed irrespective of their disciplinary affiliation for the growth of Anthropology as a discipline as well as knowledge base.
