Here knowledge of truth alone does not suffice; on the contrary this
knowledge must continually be renewed by ceaseless effort, if it is not be
lost. It resembles a statue of marble which stands in the desert and is
continually threatened with burial by the shifting sand. The hands of
service must ever be at work, in order that the marble continues lastingly
to shine in the sun. To these serving hands mine shall also belong. …

The most important method of education accordingly always has consisted
of the where pupil was urged to actual performance. This applies as well to
the first attempts at writings of the primary boy as to the doctor’s thesis on
graduation from the university, or as to the mere memorizing of a poem,
the writing of a composition, the interpretation and translation of a text,
the solving of a mathematical problem or the practice of a physical sport.
But behind every achievement exists the motivation which is at the
foundation of it and, which in turn is strengthened and nourished by the
accomplishment of the undertaking.

                                                                       1931, Albert Einstein

Brief History of the College
Even after six decades of attaining political independence the peripheral areas of our state
are deprived of the lights of higher education. The Ranibandh block is one of those areas.
The lofty hills and the sprawling dense forest have made it inaccessible. To respect the
rights to education of the people from the periphery of West Bengal a college was
established in this block, vide order no. 970 –Edn (A)/10M – 57/13 dated 30/10/2013 under
the auspices of Government of West Bengal known as Government General Degree
College at Ranibandh.

The academic activities were inaugurated from the session 2015-2016. In the academic
session 2015-2016, the college began its journey with six subjects of humanities: Bengali,
English, Sanskrit, Santali, History and Education as 3-years honours subjects. In addition
to this, the college also offers the general course in Humanities. The College is affiliated
to the Bankura University from the academic session 2017- 18. Before 2017-18 the college
was affiliated to The University of Burdwan.

From 2017 - 2018 academic session, Physics was introduced as 3-years of honours subject.
Though the college has 3 departments for science but only the general courses associated
with the Physics Honours course are taughte here. No independent general course
curriculum for science is offered to the students yet.

The College has a sizeable 5-acre campus with a three storied building. The spacious and
sprawling campus of the college with its lawns, gardens, playgrounds gives a healthy &
student-friendly environment keeping in view the all-round development of the students.
Different cultural programmes, observation of special days, keep the students engaged in
socio-cultural activities. The college also upholds seminars, lectures, workshops, sports
activities, N.S.S and other co-curricular activities for the wellbeing of the students. There
are two separate students’ common rooms respectively for boys and girls. A healthy
canteen is set up for both the teachers and students. Several scholarships and financial
supports are provided to the meritorious and needy students.

On the ground floor the college library provides ample opportunities to explore the world
of books and hence, the knowledge. There are well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry
and Physics. Moreover, the college has set up two virtual classrooms and a laboratory for
Mathematics too. Two Virtual cum Smart Class rooms with projector, internet facilities,
audio-visual facility are available. The college has an IQAC, as a mechanism to build and
Government General Degree College, Ranibandh - Government of West Bengal - Prospectus 2020-21 - Government General Degree College at ...
ensure a quality culture in the college. The college, overall, gives an encouraging and
supportive environment to the students to spread their wings for their future success.

Beinfg far away from the urban amenities the students of this college have to face lots of
hurdles and hardships. Riding on a strong will power and unflagging enthusiasm, they
overcome all these hardships. In the previous two sessions we, the teachers, have always
put our best foot forward to help them find a solution to the hardships they encounter.
Our aim was, is and will forever be, to build a healthy, joyful and unhindered ambience
for the students to help them in their pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

From the Principal’s Desk
                            While visiting a Buddhist monastery in Japan the physicist
                            and the great teacher Richard R. Feynman was told by a
                            Buddhist priest a few words: “To every man is given the key
                            to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.”
                            Quoting these words in his book The Meaning of It All
                            Feynman commented: “And so it is with science. In a way it
                            is a key to the gates of heaven, and the same key opens the
                            gates of hell, and we do not have any instructions as to which
                            is which gate.”

 Shri Madhusudan Garain     The expression of human feelings and perceptions can be
     Officer-in-Charge      summarised as human behaviour. And the nourishment,
                            protection, and a stable development of human civilisation is
dependent on human behaviour. Through the adjustment and controlling of the human
instincts the expression of human behaviour can be made beautiful, wholesome. The more
deep–rooted the acquired practical knowledge and creative values are the more integrated
will be the development of the human civilisation. To expand the comment of Feynman
we can say that a quality education proves to be the ‘key to heaven’. That is why education
is called human resource.

Our college is located in the hinterland of high hills and deep forest in the periphery of
West Bengal. To respect the rights of the people of this remote area of West Bengal and
to strengthen the base of higher education in West Bengal the Government of West Bengal
established this college in 2013. The academic session started from the year 2015.
Notwithstanding various adversities we face, we are determined to spread quality
education in this peripheral area of West Bengal.

I, on behalf of all teachers and non-teaching staff of our college, welcome all the students
desirous of higher education to join this glorious journey of pursuing the infinitely rich
world of knowledge. I urge the students to join in this endeavour of creative production of
knowledge, and the blessed, beautiful, adjusted, and integrated growth of human
perceptions.

                                                                              With thanks

                                 have adopted for Unnata Bharat Abhiyan.

For ‘Plastic Free Zone’ campaign we have visited those villages and instructed the
villagers clearly as how to prohibit single use plastic products like water bottles, coffee
cups, plastic bags, polystyrene foam items, etc and made them understand the harmful
effects of plastic pollution and its effect on environment and on us. We have also instructed
them on how to avoid plastics and look for alternatives like using jute, cloth or paper bags,
and suggested to at least reuse them as many times as they can before disposing the
plastics off if they had to use plastics.

faculty and non-teaching are happily participated the procession, and finally the end of
procession we got gathering our conference room, our Principal sir delivered awareness
lecture about disadvantage of using plastic bags and also delivered lecture about the
memory of our national hero Iswar Chandra vidyasagar.

For Water Conservation we have come to understand that the villagers solely depend on
tube well and pumping for their daily need of water and farming due to the lack of both
water conservation knowledge and absence of water reservoir. We have communicated
and instructed through different programmes as to how reduce the unnecessary wastage
of water and the recycling of water to maintain the underground water level as per the
process of "earth keeping" by conserving rain water by digging ponds, lakes, canals, etc.
we also understand that to conserve the underground water level, the villagers are in a
dire need of water reservoirs.

                                              Department of Bengali

Bengali is one of the most spoken language in the world and its literary history can be
traced back to more than nine hundred years ago though the Bengali language began to
assume a distinct form in the 7th century CE. Now it is an opportunity to us to explore
this vibrant language and its prolific literature through 3 years undergraduate course
framed by Bankura University since academic session 2017-18 following the CBCS
curriculum.

The Department started its journey immediately after the first academic year announced
by the Government General Degree College at Ranibandh under the affiliation of the
University of Burdwan in 2015-16. Far away from the urban amenities the college and
the department had to face lots of hurdles and hardships in its beginning years.
Gradually, with a lot of care, we have been able to enrich our department with adequate
amenities and resources. In 2019, two students have got first class from the 2 nd graduate
batch of Bengali Honours under the curriculum of the University of Burdwan. The current
graduating students of our department who are under the CBCS Curriculum of Bankura
University, are more promising. With the help of all, we are dreaming to build our
department richer and more productive.

COURSES

The Department offers undergraduate Honours, program, generic and a Modern Indian
Language course in Bengali. Curriculum and syllabus of these courses is under CBCS
with the affiliation of Bankura University.

Since its inception, The Department of English of this college has set its goal of illumining
the students of this underprivileged and underdeveloped area by enabling them to
comprehend and master the English language and literature, and instilling the
humanitarian ideals of man-making and character-building education.

On the one hand, the department focuses on fulfilling all the requisites of the
undergraduate (Honours and Programme) courses under CBCS by taking regular classes

The term ‘Education’ is used in many senses. ‘Education’ itself is a subject or discipline.
In this sense Education is the study of the process of educating. Education is an
interdisciplinary subject. Furthermore, it has its own various principles, ideas, factors,
methods and elements in the spheres of education.

In recent years, Education has become one of the most popular subjects among the
students pursuing higher education in India. The Department of Education of our college,
with Undergraduate Honours and Programme courses, started functioning from the
inception of the college. The Department offers Education as Honours, Programme and
Generic Elective subject. The academic conditions in terms of teaching – learning process
is quite healthy but not adequate enough to fulfil the criteria of the curriculum under
CBCS. Library facilities are available to facilitate the requirements of our students. The
Department has successfully taken many initiatives to realize the dream of achieving
excellence in education as well as to establish a cordial student-teacher relationship.

History encompasses a very dynamic range of study i.e. past, present and future. It
analyses the present in the light of the past with a view to the future. The study of history
provides an opportunity to know the complexities of the present with greater sensitivity.
This in turns shapes the mind ofthe students for broader and better understanding of the
world around them. Keeping this thing in mind the department of history is always trying
to enable their students to respond creatively to the emerging needs of the society.

The Department of History of our College, began its journey from the academic session
2015-16. Besides teaching, the Department organizes class wise seminar, debate, quiz,
and Group discussion, so that they can keep pace with the time. The department takes
part in all educational and cultural activities. Department is also seeking to encourage
holistic participation of its students in college life. We are looking forward to organize
educational trip which would help us in imparting knowledge about history. Above all,
the faculty members are always ready to render all possible assistance and guidance to
students within and outside the campus as and when required. Consequently, students
get through the final examination with flying colours every year and go for further higher
studies.

                   Extracurricular Activities

In the 21st century the pure academic type of education that students are introduced to is
steadily paving way to a whole new type of education with a special focus to incorporate
three major genres of education: reasoning, psychomotor and emotional learning.
Education is a broad concept that surpasses the four walls of a classroom. The core aim of
education is to foster all round development of a students. All round development
essentially means intellectual, physical, moral, sensible, and social development. All
round development can be achieved only through education. Education plays a
fundamental role in the making of a man/woman and his/her development as a culturally
well-developed social animal. To fulfil these objectives, there is a prime need of striking a
balance between syllabus, curriculum, books, and co-curricular activities beyond that.

The vision, mission and objectives of the institution are made to percolate into the fabric
of the institution in such a way that through all the curricular and extracurricular

activities in the college continued throughout the year, they are constantly practiced,
followed, and carried into effect.

The College provides ample scope for development of an integrated personality and it has
keen interest in promoting co-curricular activities of the students. Competitions are
arranged occasionally in various events like debates, music, song, quiz etc among the
students of this College. Apart from this Students organize and participate in culturals
events like Nabinbarana/Fresher’s Welcome, Briksharopan Utsab, Teachers’ Day
celebration, etc. They also celebrate Independence Day, Republic Day, Rabindra-jayanti
etc enthusiastically.

      Online Teaching-learning Initiatives

The current pandemic due to novel corona virus has significantly disrupted the higher
education sector as well, which is a critical determinant of a student’s future. For
educators, the COVID-19 Pandemic is a quintessential adaptive and transformative
challenge, one for which there is no preconfigured playbook that can guide appropriate
responses. Without bowing to the current challenges, we are committed to our students
to continue the teaching-learning process. Although we could not eliminate the difference
between classroom teaching and online teaching, but we could explore a new approach of
teaching-leaning process through online mode.

Riding on a strong will power and unflagging enthusiasm we are trying to overcome all
the hardships during this period. We have arranged several online classes through
WhatsApp, Conference-call Google Classroom, Google Meet etc. The study materials have
been uploaded in our websites and distributed in specific WhatsApp Groups.
