The

1999, since establishment of the college. Considering the increasing strength
of the students studying political science in the schools of the hinterland,
the college has introduced honours course in 2010. The department is to include
students of multiple character in terms of socio economic profile and family
background. Some of the students are from poor families and backward castes
along with rich and elite classes. The college along with the department has to
play a special role in advancement of the poor and backward students and the
slow learners for example, remedial coaching, supplying of study materials etc.
The college library enriched with equipped staffs, valuable books and other
apparatus is an effective support base for both students and teachers. The

and extension activities; academic events like seminars, special lectures;
cultural activities; different competitions like youth parliament competition,
essay competitions etc. Among the mention worthy achievements by the students
of the department, there are university topper, assistant professor, net/set
qualifiers and state aided college teachers. Organized efforts of students,
teachers and college authority have brought the department of political science
in the lime light.
Since the students of the
department are coming from different socio-economic background some of the
students suffer from discomfort and uneasiness so far classroom environment,
teaching method, etc. are concerned. Departmental teachers are very much
sensitive about such feelings and try to handle the less-expressive students
carefully. Most of the students are coming from Bengali medium schools with
poor writing, reading, and communicative skill in English. In order to motivate
them and to make them habituated in English language teachers try to deliver
class lectures through bilingual medium.
Remedial classes are arranged
for the slow learners. Teachers are very careful to understand the weakness or
the limitations of the slow learners and guide them to overcome their
limitations towards the improvement of the result.
Advanced learners are suggested to consult reference books more vastly. Apart from the class lectures they are asked to go through e-sources on the related topic. keeping in mind the demand of the subject, teachers take initiatives to make the students updated so for national and international socio-political issues and scenario are concerned. Teachers encourage the students to express their mind and view independently on any relevant topic. Face to face discussion, informal debate on any given topic is followed within the classroom to make the students of the department more enriched in the subject. Latent potentiality and skill of some students are explored through such method.
