Sociology is the scientific study of society, people, and their relationships.

Sociology strives to understand people. How do people behave? Why do groups form in society? How do structures like power, culture, values, class, gender, and roles govern society? What is society like? Why is it like this? And, how does society change? Sociology is the science that seeks answers to these questions. Therefore, sociology plays an important role in understanding society.

Just as a medical doctor conducts various tests to diagnose a disease, a sociologist also studies and researches in detail the conditions of various aspects of society. Sociology works systematically on issues ranging from identifying problems to diagnosing them. Sociology has also played an important role in identifying socially appropriate and practical solutions.

The main field of sociology is the in-depth study of different ethnic groups, languages, regions, classes, cultures, and communities. At the school level, useful life skills are taught through social studies, social education, and moral education. At the college level, social practical knowledge is given through sociology, so that any person can always take steps for the good of society. Sociology also works to motivate people to contribute to the development of the country from their respective fields. Such subjects also work to make us realize that we all have an equal responsibility to reduce the distortions in society and build a civilized society. Therefore, in today's society, there is a need for subjects that teach moral values, beliefs, and our traditional knowledge and skills, which sociology has fulfilled.

Currently, the field of sociology is also gradually growing. The more society moves towards modernity, the more social problems are also increasing unknowingly. That is why the need for sociology has been realized and taught in every discipline and department, be it nursing, forestry, or BBM! Sociology is included as a compulsory subject in many other faculties. Sociology helps in understanding the core issues of society. The scope of sociology includes studying problems in depth, finding various solutions to solve them, and solving problems through those solutions.

As society continues to follow the path of modernity, many problems are also increasing rapidly. Sociology also creates an environment where the root causes of those problems can be found and solved easily and simply.

Sociology has become a center of attraction at the undergraduate, postgraduate, MPhil and PhD levels. Since any subject or faculty can study sociology at the postgraduate or higher level, the attraction of students towards sociology has increased. Even after studying other subjects, older people are also found to come to study sociology after realizing the need for sociology. That is why people from young to old are studying together in the same class. Apart from the classroom courses, they also exchange knowledge and experience in their fields. That is why the classroom provides theoretical knowledge. Other informal discussions, tea chats, and informal meetings allow for the exchange of practical knowledge.

Every year, 500 students are enrolled in the Central Department of Sociology, Kirtipur, at the postgraduate level. In addition, the number of students studying sociology in other campuses including Tribhuvan University is increasing day by day. Currently, the number of students studying sociology has reached thousands. Similarly, 35 students are studying in the MPhil-PhD in Sociology at the Central Campus, Kirtipur every year. More than 60-70 people take the entrance exam for it. It seems that the required number is not met in some other subjects, but the latest statistics show that many students are taking the entrance exam in sociology.

Sociology conducts an in-depth study of social surroundings, behavior, festivals, language, religion, and culture. Sociology also studies various anomalies and anomalies that are currently increasing in society. Divorce and violence incidents are increasing. Why are these incidents increasing? Sociologists also study them.

Even seemingly ordinary topics affect society in an unknowing way. It is necessary to discuss and debate about them. With the increasing interest of students in sociology, various studies, research, discussion programs, research paper presentations, and national and international conferences are being held every year. Recently, more than 100 research papers were presented at the international conference organized by the Central Department of Anthropology, and researchers from more than 10 countries participated in this conference. Some of the research papers in this conference were related to sociology. Sociology acts as a bridge connecting every discipline with each other. Previously, subjects that were only required to be studied by humanities faculty have now been made compulsory subjects in other faculties or disciplines. Due to this, the field of sociology is gradually growing. In fact, studying sociology helps a person to know 'himself'. Sociology also plays an important role in understanding the environment, objects or situations around him. It is not just about getting good marks in exams, it is equally important to have good behavior and culture in a person. Social science subjects provide detailed information about human behavior, relationships and culture.

Since Plus-Two, sociology has been studied by creating various work areas. Sociology has done the work of taking students to the 'real world' for practical knowledge, not just book knowledge. A certain percentage of marks have been kept as practical in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, which has increased the attraction of students to sociology. Such practical, educational practices are constantly trying to make the subject lively. That is why it seems that students are particularly attracted to sociology.

It is necessary to study, research and discuss sociology, which provides information about the real form of society, lifestyle, traditions and culture. Recently, the number of students in the humanities faculty has been decreasing significantly. Colleges that used to teach 13 or 14 subjects are currently only able to conduct 4 or 5 subjects. If we look into the reason for this, it seems that the enrollment of students in the humanities faculty is decreasing significantly. However, despite this, the attraction of students towards sociology and social work is still increasing. Problems have started appearing in all sectors due to the trend of going abroad as soon as the 12th grade is over. At a time when the number of people who are forced to sell their ancestral property at an early age and are attracted to the beauty of foreign countries is increasing, could the subjects under the humanities faculty have been revived and if students could be attracted to it through practical knowledge and practical numbers, could the trend of young people going abroad have been stopped?

If we could promote traditional knowledge and skills through such subjects and guide them on the path of becoming entrepreneurs, it would create an environment where the youth can stay in Nepal. Everyone knows that the trend of the young generation going abroad is increasing due to work and studies. To stop this trend, more emphasis should be placed on entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship rather than the employee mentality. Recently, the discussion on social entrepreneurship has also increased a lot. Now, it is necessary to communicate through various means that not only those who have studied management, but also students who have studied humanities can engage in business and business and that there are various opportunities. The country can develop only if the skilled population of the country remains in the country. We must love our land ourselves, we should not wait for others to do it for us.

It is necessary to study, research and discuss sociology, which provides information about the real form, lifestyle, traditions and culture of Nepali society. There should be discussions among today's youth on topics according to the needs of society. Sociology has played a special role in building a prosperous society. The importance of this subject is increasing day by day.

Even seemingly ordinary topics tell about the depth of society. Society is hidden in every object we use in our daily lives. Sociology also does the work of keeping society together. For example, if we take a pen as an example, many people contribute until the pen becomes a 'pen'. This work is not possible with one person alone. Sociologist Prof. Dr. Chaitanya Mishra used to give an example in class saying, 'Society is hidden in everything we see' and 'our hair also has a sociology'. How should we keep our hair long or short? This would vary according to the person and his society. That is why people used to live in groups or herds since their ancestors or even in the wild, which made it easier for them to hunt and gather food and escape from violent wild animals.
