Department of Khasi

The Department of Khasi is one of the oldest departments of the College starting right from 1937. Students belonging to the Khasi Jaintia community took Khasi as a vernacular subject. Gradually Modern Indian Language (MIL) replaced the vernacular subject and in 1976 Honours course in Khasi language and Elective Khasi as an elective subject were introduced. The Department has a large number of students offering Khasi Honours, Khasi MIL and Elective Khasi in the three-year degree course.
