The department comprises qualified, active and efficient faculties. We produce
comparatively well-trained students. The department has been famous since
long. Research projects are regularly applied for and done.
Regarding infrastructure, there are lapses due to paucity of funds. We need to
develop a rich departmental seminar library. Presently, our students are

153

catered by the Central library of the college which houses sufficient number of
books and references in the subject area. We recommend purchase of books
every year to have new editions and better books that come out.
We wish to develop further by having a separate computer aided well-
equipped Research lab with quality reference books and journals. We have our
plans already developed and shall be executed if and when funds are obtained.
We plan to approach UGC in this regard too.

We need to expand and induce new methods of teaching and learning. And for
this, sophistication is required at a higher plane. We hope to achieve that in
near future. We are abreast of the challenges and hope not to leave any
opportunity that comes in our way to enhance the infrastructure.

The department of Political Science has its strength in its capable young
faculty. We follow schedules of classes with special attention on students’
learning progress day by day. We identify the slow learners early and give
them special inputs to catch on with advance learners. With some further
impetus, we may do better. Despite some drawbacks, we plan to enlarge the
available facilities for better efficacy. One way is to share and collaborate with
other departments for space, library, ICT solutions and applications and other
modern facilities in relation to teaching and research.

competitions in sports/games or even at National level. Our subject is popular
among students and they love to study it at both undergraduate and

implement it in the form of enhanced facilities and space once we obtain
required funds from some source.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and
Extension activities: Students take part.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
The department has a separate building. All faculty members are qualified and
popular. Our assignments to students inspire them to understand the intricacies
of the subject and they enthusiastically come forward to learn and carry out
projects. Undoubtedly, we need to improve more and bring some modern
facilities to the department. We have been taking help from other institutions
with whom we collaborate.
The challenge is to arrange the scarcely available funds. Being a subject of
contemporary importance, we are seeking help from the Govt. agencies and
other sources. We think we can do better once we get the assistance from any
source to develop further.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
The department of English is one of the best departments armed with
adequately qualified and sincere faculty members. Given wider space, we are
capable of faring better. We do have all basic facilities to perform well but we
hope to enlarge these with better infrastructure and ICT solutions that shall
induce us to use our full potential and inspire the students as well. More often,
we organize seminars and workshops relevant to the various socially
significant themes in modern living, women’s empowerment, current trends in
politico-socioeconomic thoughts, philosophy, interdisciplinary activities,
career opportunities, Social media applications and utilities etc.
We have a 3-year degree vocational programme in ‘Functional English’ that
has been running successfully for many years and an approved proposal for a
post graduate course in ‘English with Media studies’. With these programmes
coupled with our complete involvement with the smart Language laboratory of
the college, we have plans to grow further and attract students with an eye to
the contemporary job market and self-employability. Definitely, we have a
tough challenge ahead of us but we are determined to come out clean of all

174

barriers.
As said somewhere else, the department is proud of having been served by
highly respected, renowned and eminent faculty members in the past. We too
salute them. We try to maintain the reputation and old glory with our sincerest
efforts. However, if we are told to identify one of our weaknesses, it is that we
are underutilized, or one may say that we have not exploited ourselves fully.
We have plans to popularize English literature among students as a viable
career option even in this era of commerce and competition. Simultaneously,
we may not forget taking recourse also to the possible applied aspects that arm
you with a job immediately.

regularly.
Though we lack space for expansion and more activities, we do our best and
use the available infrastructure optimally. A challenge to us is the customized
utilization of ICT applications to their potential. However, we try to adapt and
evolve by converting our teaching materials on ICT lines. We have also
adopted other modern teaching methods. We have now a policy following
which we need to convert any challenge into an opportunity.

has been great. Despite lower number of faculty staff members, we engage
students in regular classes and give them inputs to learn the subject.
Assignments and on-spot seminars help them a lot. Our one achievement has
also been the results of students’ learning depicted at university examinations.
Our students are regularly in the Merit list.
Through 2014-15, we plan to induce certain additional facilities in the form of
ICT solutions. Students are expected to learn by observing the historical
events with the help of archived documents supported by recorded videos. We
also plan to hold workshops that will showcase the important events of
ancient, medieval and modern history of the country and the world. Quiz will
follow the workshops. Students will be made to ‘feel’ and then learn the
history.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
The Department publishes a Research Journal ‘Urdu Today” quarterly.
‘Samanantar’ is compiled by Dr. T. Fatmi. Mr. S.I. Quadri’s 81 articles have
appeared in Newspapers/magazines. He has developed expertise to coach and
train the aspirants for NET/JRF examinations of University Grants
Commission, New Delhi for the first Paper (General) and Urdu language.
More than 40 JRF and 75 NET candidates were successful in previous years.
We extend academic support in different forms to NCERT, New Delhi; CIIL,
Mysore; Bihar Archives, Patna; Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi; All India
Radio, Patna; Doordarshan, Patna.
In context of the above mentioned activities, we require better space and
facilities. However, we do have access to J&MC facilities. The challenge is to
popularize Urdu literature among non-Muslim students too. By coordinating

188

with other language subjects e.g. English, Hindi and Maithili departments, we
can do it. We collaboratively work in Our modern Language Lab.

Demand ratio in our department is excessively high. All faculty members are
competent and qualified. Evidently, the challenge is to manage such large
number of students. In addition, we have to teach I. com students too.
We use different methods to teach students in graduate and post graduate
classes and make them learn the subject in an interesting way.
We have plans to develop further and bring about innovative changes to help
develop and train students (especially of post graduate) with the aid of modern
applications and tools e.g. IT enabled solutions, Excel/Lotus spreadsheets etc.
We need more space and updated facilities for which we are trying.
