এ কালে যালক আমরা এডুলকশন বলে তার আরম্ভ শহলর। তার লিছলন বযবসা ও চাকলর চলেলছ আনু ষলিক হলে।
এই লবলেশী লশক্ষালবলি ররে-কামরার েীলির মলতা। কামরাটা উজ্জ্বে, লকন্তু রয রযাজন রযাজন িথ গালি চলেলছ
ছু লট রসটা অন্ধকালর েু প্ত। কারখানার গালিটাই রযন সতয, আর প্রাণলবেনাে িূ ণণ সমস্ত রেশটাই রযন অবাস্তব।

সহরবাসী একেে মানু ষ এই সু লযালগ লশক্ষা রিলে, মান রিলে, অথণ রিলে; তারাই হে এনোইলটনড, আলোলকত।
রসই আলোর লিছলন বালক রেশটালত োগে িূ ণণ গ্রহণ। ইস্কুলের রবলিলত বলস যাাঁরা ইংলরলজ িিা মুখস্থ করলেন
লশক্ষােীপ্ত েৃ লির অন্ধতাে তাাঁরা রেশ বেলত বু ঝলেন লশলক্ষত সমাজ, মেূ র বেলত বু ঝলেন তার রিখমটা, হালত
বেলত তার গজেন্ত।

রসইলেন রথলক জেকি বলো, িথকি বলো ররাগ বলো অজ্ঞান বলো জলম উঠে কাংসযবােযমলিত নাটযমলির
রনিলথয লনরানন্দ লনরালোক গ্রালম গ্রালম। নগরী হলো সু জো সু ফো টানািাখাশীতো, রসইখালনই মাথা তুেলে
আলরাগযলনলকতন, লশক্ষার প্রাসাে।

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 & Our
                   Forethought
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
give 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

                                                Prospectus 2021-22                  4

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 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.

The vision of our college is to provide innovative educational environment, best
academic standard, opportunities and experiences that enable individual,
communities, and the district to thrive, develop and prosper. We strive to become
the standard of excellence, fostering creativity of gender and socio-economic
standing and to enable them to stand of all sections of society irrespective of gender
and socio-economist irrespective of standing and to enable them to stand up to the
challenges of the new millennium with courage and conviction. We focus on
teaching and learning, creation of an environment where knowledge is used to
expand growth and progress and to inculcate a liberal mind. We aim to offer quality
education to students of all the sections of society irrespective of gender and socio-
economic. We focus on teaching and learning, creation of an environment where
knowledge is used to expand growth and progress. Students are equipped with the
facilities, which are needed to recognize and expand their inherent qualities, to
help, strength and confidence to face society in general and become responsible
citizens to face society in general.

The Departments are motivating their students at various levels so that the young
minds transform into inquisitive and enthusiastic students by nature. They
exclusively follow students’ participatory learning methods. Since the College is
located in tribal belt, departments encourage their students to tap the indigenous
tribal knowledge.

Being 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 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.

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                     Shri Madhusudan Garain
instructions as to which is which gate.”                     Officer-in-Charge

The expression of human feelings and perceptions can be 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…

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.

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

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.

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 2nd 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

Inspired by the invigorating sloka from Katha Upanishad “उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य

superstitious, shackled minds to awaken the sleeping soul and usher in a new era
emancipated from all kinds of slavery. 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 and completing the syllabus accordingly so as to brighten the academic
career of the pupils , and on the other hand, it inculcates the humanitarian ideals

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but
makes our life in harmony with all existence.”           ------Rabindranath Tagore

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.

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a
tree without roots”                                            --------Marcus Garvey

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,

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.
