The department of ancient history occupies a significant place in the area of Indian archaeology. The inception of the department was done along with the Ram Sajivan Singh P.G College itself. The department of ancient history has a separate infrastructure that was done to give special emphasis to the study of ancient Indian history, its heritage, culture as well as world history. Apart from just imparting knowledge about ancient history, the department also specializes in the field of regional archaeology, epigraphy, paleography and ancient languages. In this college, ancient language has been a special part of enriching India's rich heritage and culture. The establishment of the independent department of ancient history was done to carry forward the rich legacy of scholars in this field with association with the state's top universities and other states. Therefore, the setting of this department is the fruit of the rich legacy of the universities that dates back to the pre-independence period. Since its inception, the department has established itself as a nodal department in the region to study India's past. The department gives special focus on regional history and heritage and puts emphasis on the study of Indian civilization and culture. A number of new sites have been explored in recent years by our faculties and staff in the department.
