Enhanced with a proper teaching methodology and academic planning right from its inception, the department has been able to move ahead leaving behind visible footprints of success and improvement. As the study of Bengali language and literature cannot be limited through the boundaries of the current curriculum, the department has endeavoured to provide the students with an overall knowledge of library criticism, past and present. Frequent special lectures by faculties of other Colleges and eminent speakers are arranged along with interactive sessions so that the students are encouraged towards a sound creative speculation.
