The Department of Sociology at Kateel Ashok Pai Memorial College is committed to fostering a deep understanding of society, culture, and human behaviour. The department aims to equip students with analytical and research skills that enable them to critically study social structures, institutions, and contemporary social issues. Sociology is offered as an optional subject at the undergraduate level, providing students with a strong foundation in classical and contemporary sociological theories, social institutions, social change, research methods, and Indian society. The curriculum combines academic learning with practical exposure to social realities through surveys, fieldwork, and community-based projects.

The department emphasizes value-based education, encouraging students to become socially responsible citizens who contribute to community development and social transformation. Regular seminars, guest lectures, field visits, and awareness programs enrich students' academic experience and broaden their sociological perspective.
