“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character- making, assimilation of ideas”
-----Swami Vivekananda
The Education department of Heramba Chandra College came into existence in the year 1963 with education as an elective subject of three years General course. From the session 2002-2003, Honours course in education was introduced in our institution. Keeping in view the vision and mission statements of college, the department has successfully taken many initiatives and innovative steps in order to realize the achievement of goal of excellence in education. Admission in the Honours course is done on the basis of eligibility criteria fixed by the University of Calcutta. After admission they remain under a process of continuous supervision of teacher. Department has prepared the Curriculum Transactional strategy (CTS) for making the teaching-learning process more effective and efficient. Regular internal evaluation through entry-level test, surprise test, class test etc. are taken throughout the year.
