    Karnatak University being the second oldest in the state of Karnataka is proud that its UGC-HRDC has this recognition of NRC in Sociology. Our department of Sociology is robust and I am sure it will do a good job in producing qualitative, authentic and intellectually insightful videos to strengthen the discipline of sociology through their online refresher course. I am sure this will breathe in freshness and update the knowledge of teachers in the various areas of Sociology and help them to become better teachers. I wish the UGC-HRDC of Karnatak University, Dharwad all success in its new engagements with NRC and look forward to the strengthening of our department of Sociology in Karnatak University through this endeavour. .
