    divider-image

    The magnificent and prolific history of Jharkhand has never found its due place in context of ancient Indian history. Even today, this topic evades any significant research. The absence of prior historical and archaeological exploration and studies have cast a thick veil over the chronological history and ancient culture of the region. The few findings and papers that do exist present a very fragmented depiction of a culture lost in the sands of time.

    In light of the above, the esteemed academia of the University felt the pressing need of a course for those passionate about unlocking the mysteries of our past and preserving the same for our future generations. The University Department of History introduced the Post Graduate Degree Course in Archaeology & Museology in the year 2011 under self-financing scheme.
