The college library enriched with equipped staffs, valuable books and other apparatus is an effective support base for both students and teachers. The Departmental Library with its unique collection extends support to the students in addition to the services offered by the Central Library of the College. Apart from study the students of the department are associated with community service and extension activities. Along with cultural activities like Nabin baran and teachers’ day academic events like seminar, symposium and different competitions are undertaken.
