About The Department

Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man – Swami Vivekananda.

The Department of English had set out its glorious journey with the year of establishment of the institution in 1960. Of course, General Degree Course was introduced then and this continued till 2001. In the year 2002 Hons. course is introduced in the college challenging many obstacles and difficulties. Being a rural college, almost all students come from Bengali medium school. At the beginning, this was a psychological hindrance to the learners to cope up with the fear of uncertainty in the competitive arena. But gradually, this fear began to convert into strength as the expert faculties groomed and motivated them. At present the Department has two Assistant Professors and six Govt. aided SACT teachers. The Department is committed to provide the best possible education to the learners not only to read, write and speak in English but also to make them complete human being in future through their holistic development. The Department promises to nurture and nourish the intellectual faculty of the pupil; open up their cultural and humanistic vision and above all to make them upright with their acquired knowledge and skill to fight against all sorts of odds and oddities and find a victory and jubilation at the end. The motto of the Department is ‘to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield’.

Our Vision

If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun – Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.

The college is located far away from the cities and town. The students came from the remote villages. Most of them are first generation learners. Our vision is to provide them appropriate pedagogies available in English Studies while nurturing their reading, writing, speaking skills so that they can prepare themselves for the competitive arena. We provide quality education with a view of preparing every student to be self-reliable and equip them with sound knowledge of the subject concerned as well as conscious of the moving world. Our vision is to-

To develop their soft skills- proper communication in English which is essential to build up their career.
To nurture their creativity crucial for literary studies through their participation in performance activities, essay competition, magazine publication etc.
To develop their research skills so that they can engage in research on their own.
