The Department of Political Science in Government Degree College for Women, Madanapalle was established in 1984. Initially, it used to offer only one course i.e. HEP, with History and Economics as other combinations. In 2007 a new course HUP was started in Urdu medium with History (Urdu) and Special Urdu as other combinations. Again in 2016 a new course H.P.T. was started along with Special Telugu and History as other combinations.

The department makes an effort to engage students in understanding the current political world, building active citizenship and democratic engagement. It provides the students with a perspective to engage with the political, social, economic, and cultural issues of the times. As a discipline, Political Science endeavors to understand the ‘political’ in the world we live in from the global context to the most intimate yet equally political and significant personal context. It sees itself as providing a space for young women to engage in critical thinking, activism, advocacy as well as leadership. It equips them to share their views in a space where they could interrogate their own deeply cherished values and understand the difference and its implications.
