Department of English: |
|
The Department of English began its journey along with the inception
of the college on March 5, 1964. A new chapter was added to the department as
Honours course was introduced in 1998. The department flourishes not only
through its regular teaching- learning process, but also through a host of
enthusiastic activities and programmes. It regularly conducts an annual
Special Lecture programme, philanthropic activities, as part of Institutional
Social Responsibility, counselling of the guardians, walling up of two
creative wall magazines, Fortnightly Yours and Montage. An
output of the research centric endeavour of the faculties and alumni is Ripples,
our departmental Journal. This subject of humanities develops imaginative,
creative, introspective and judgmental faculties of the young students and
enriches them with critical perspectives to explore the social system
surrounding us. |
