Greetings from the PG and Research Department of English
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire" - W. B Yeats
The transformation and the empowerment of the students mainly lie in the hands of the instructors who help them to gain confidence in sculpting their own future. Cohering to this, the galaxy of enthusiastic faculty of the Department of English primarily focuses on the holistic development of the learners. We, as a team strive to nurture the aspiring students with multidimensional skills. Through intercollegiate and interdepartmental competitions, the department helps the students face the competitive sphere with confidence and courage. Activities like seminars, lectures and cultural events are conducted to enhance and equip the students both in the curricular and the extracurricular domains. With the grace of the almighty and the incessant efforts of the faculty, the department assures a very healthy and amicable, at the same time a competitive ambience for our future professionals.
History of the Department
One among the early departments, Department of English has charted intense growth and immense spurts of energy. Within 6 years of its inception in1966, it established itself as a postgraduate department. Beginning in 1972 the PG programme has won a number of laurels thus securing input in the form of PG Development Fund. Further the department evolved as a research department in the year 2008 initiating the M.Phil degreefollowed closely by the Doctoral Degree in 2009. The staggering number of applicants per year necessitated parallel programmes of both Undergraduate (2010) and Postgraduate (2014) levels.Such growth trajectory was augmented by the stalwarts of teaching faculty, libraries at the college, department and research centre sections, excellent infrastructure, optimally cutting edge audio visual support and so on. Since the gaining of autonomy the Department has been strongly involved in the curricular design which has always been student centred. For instance, the Certificate of ProficiencyJournalism and Mass Communication, UGC sponsored, has benefited hundreds of students so much so that it further branched into a Diploma Course in 2011, and an Advanced Diploma Course in 2012 which were offered till 2017-18. Besides equipping students for employability, the syllabus also ascertains instilling value system, eco spiritual dimensions,inclusivity thus developing a holistic personality.
Vision:
Sculpting integrated individuals through English language and literature.
