the department.
Strength
This is an autonomous department under university of North Bengal; therefore, we are interested to initiate m. phil. / ph d programme at our department.
We want to organize a national seminar very soon at our department.
We want to convert every class room as “smart class room”. We also want to initiate a consultancy programme here so that
fisherman, honey bee culturist, people who need ecology related information etc. can be benefited from here.
Weakness Many of the teaching as well non-teaching posts are lying
vacant in the department. Due to the rise in the intake capacity of students every year
the classrooms and laboratories has now been small. There is an immediate need to increase the accommodation facilities for the students.
The department lacks the supply of clean drinking water for students as well as teaching and non- teaching staff.
Opportunity Some of the teaches are actively engaged in research in
college and associated with well known research institutes All round development of students through academic,
extra-curricular activities, study tours and excursions. Consultation sessions for students to prepare them for
public examination like NET, SET, SSC Challenges
To promote hard work and uplift the scholastic capacities of studentsthrough appropriate motivation.
To cultivate research aptitude among UG and PG students. Limited freedom in deploying innovative teaching methods
due to syllabus and time constraints arising from the (1+1+1) examination system adopted by the University of North Bengal
52.Future plans of the department
To want to organize seminar and workshop in the department Submission of research project for financial assistance To replace the exsisting classrooms into smart class To renovate and upgrade the exsisting museum
To introduce new special papers in post graduate courses
