The department of
English has been opened
in this composite
Institution since its
inception, in 1981. It
functions with an
adequate number of
competent teachers with
the requisite
qualification to cater
to the needs of its
students. Two of the
teachers are in the
direct payment category
while another is in the
management payment
category.
The subject is taught as
a compulsory subject in
the institution. At
present the department
has 303 students from
the locality out of
which the girls
outnumber the boys. This
shows that our backward
locality is gradually
waking up to the need
for women empowerment.
The success rate of the
students is 77%, which
shows the interest the
students take in
learning English to
enable themselves to
face the competitive
world.
The department depends
on the Central Library
to provide learning
resources to its
students. The library
contains 1590 books on
the subject apart from
internet from which the
department downloads
materials as and when
necessary.
The department enhances
its number of books with
the financial assistance
provided by U.G.C. as
well as from the funds
collected as library
fees from the students.
Apart from lecture
method, the students are
made aware of the
nuances of the language
through interaction
among themselves and the
faculty members. The
department actively
participates in the
subject counseling of
the students at the
beginning of every
academic session. The
teachers of the
department are
graciously permitted by
the head of the
institution to
participate in seminars
and other such faculty
development programmes.
One of the faculties had
been to Bangalore on one
such programme while two
of the members have
attended State &
National level Seminars
from time to time. The
department takes the
help of CIEFL,
Hyderabad, National
Library, Kolkata to
procure necessary
teaching materials. |
