The History Club gives a creative space for students to debate, deliberate and expresses their perspectives on historical events. It plays vital role in moulding students’ personality and sense of historical enquiry. The competitions of the club also serve to promote the teamwork. Under the aegis of the club, the History Square- a History wall magazine has been initiated that displays various panels on themes of historical relevance.
