research papers and articles. The department is also associated with a bi-annual journal ‘The
Meerut Journal of Political Science and Public Administration’.Since its inception, the Department’s emphasis
has been to initiate and strengthen the empirical

urban environment. The themes of this projects
and dissertations try to touch the problem areas
relating to the weaker sections of the society.
Apart from the governmental and non-governmental
institutions, political, social and administrative
processes have also been studied. At micro level
the research studies have emphasized on the role
and functions of the regional and international
institutions, having linkages and interaction of
global factors at different levels. At present,
