Dear Ms. Athini,
Thanks for your post. Though I have no idea about what Social science subjects are taught in your college (so that I could have an idea about the teaching staff & Honours/PG classes etc.)
However, you can consider the following journals for your College library.
And make it sure before ordering please consult with your academic staff & get these journals officially approved by your Library Committee.
Here is the list;
(1) Economic & Political Weekly
(2) Indian journal of Social Work
(3) Contributions to Indian Sociology
(4) Indian Economic & Social History Review
(5) Social Scientist
(6) Seminar
(7) North East Indian Journal of Social Science Research
& News on North East India (combined subscription)
(8) IASSI Bulletin
(9) University News
(10) Yojana
As far as my knowledge is concerned, the above journals altogether less than rs. 20, 000/- annually & I have mentioned in sl. No. 7 two publications which exclusively depicts issues of NE Region.
Incidentally, some 300+ Social Science journals are published from India but as I believe only a handful of them are worth keeping.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, calcutta
