Their valuable services have enriched the teaching pattern of the department. They are encouraged to attend seminars, workshops and to go for orientation courses/ refresher courses etc.
The department has taken many initiatives and innovative steps to achieve excellence in teaching. The teachers render lectures, give study materials to the students, use up-to-date technological know-how in the classes like PPT (Power Point Presentation).
Through repeated tests, special classes, home task checking and cross examinations, the teachers try to bring a substantial section of students to an optimal standard. The department has substantial number of books and journals both in the seminar and central libraries.
Regular formal meetings are held among teachers, students and guardians to exchange their feedback. These meetings are also helpful for proper coordination, bonding and understanding among them.
The department tries to develop the creative attributes of the students. A departmental journal “Studies of Politics and Education” is published in association with the Department of Education. The students participate in various inter-college competitions. They recently took part in the ‘Mock Parliament’ competition held in the Behala College, Calcutta. The department organizes seminars, departmental tours, extension lectures and so on.
