Papers such as "Ancient and Medieval Societies" and "Issues in 20th-Century World History" encourage critical thinking and a broader, global perspective.

Generic Elective papers like "Delhi Through the Ages" are instrumental in exploring Delhi's history and its evolution through different eras. This helps to foster critical analysis and link the past to the present.

Our skill enhancement courses (SECs) provide hands-on learning opportunities through courses like "Radio and Cinema" and "Archives and Museums," offering practical experience for students.

The Department of Human Development & Family Empowerment (HDFE) at Bharati College was started in 1984, under the parent Department of Home Science, offering HDFE as an optional course in B.A Programme. The department was initially called Family and Child Welfare (FCW) though later the nomenclature was changed to HDFE. The department has been actively engaging with the discipline of Human Development through academics as well as curricular activities.

The students of the undergraduate course who have opted for this paper are given practical exposure to different NGOs working for women and children. HDFE has been contextualized and embedded in the broader perspective of life span development. The increasing thrust on development programmes and legislations for women and children generates empowering awareness and prepares the students on 'quality intervention programmes’.

The course also provides practical experiences of working with children which will enable students to develop necessary skills to work effectively with infants and pre-schoolers in various settings.

As a part of B.A program, HDFE is offered with Political Science as a combination. HDFE contains a focus on preventing and intervening in problem behaviours.

Integral to the department is its vibrant society named “Shruti Samvad,” which fosters musical creativity, expression, research, and dialogue. Emphasizing diversity and interdisciplinary interaction, the society cultivates leadership skills and serves as an agent of change by addressing concerns faced by music students in higher education.

The two permanent teaching faculties—Dr. Sarita Pathak Yajurvedi (Associate Professor) and Dr. Amit Singh (Assistant Professor)—are highly qualified and professional, dedicated to training and guiding students. They actively encourage participation in various inter-college and intra-college cultural activities, nurturing holistic development. The students of music put their immense effort to make every event a great success.

Furthermore, the Department of Music is committed to creating a nurturing environment that stimulates artistic growth and fosters a sense of community among students. Through workshops, seminars, and performances, students are provided with opportunities to showcase their talents and refine their skills.

With a strong emphasis on tradition, innovation, and inclusivity, the Department of Music at Bharati College continues to enrich the lives of its students, preparing them for a future steeped in musical excellence and cultural understanding.
