Our Vision

We are aware that most of our students are first/ second generation learners from rural areas. Our vision is to provide them appropriate pedagogies available in Chemistry Studies while nurture their reading, writing, speaking skills so that they can prepare themselves for the changing job market. We provide a friendly, nurturing and inclusive environment of teaching and learning. Our vision is to-

• To equip them with necessary knowledge of Chemistry Studies – with a focus on the various genres of poetry, fiction, drama etc - so that they can develop a love for reading and appreciating literature on their own.
• To develop their soft skills- proper communication in Chemistry which is fundamental in today’s job market.
• To nurture their creativity crucial for literary studies through their participation in performance activities, essay competition, magazine publication etc.
• To develop their research skills so that they can engage in research on their own.
• To develop their critical thinking so that they can become conscious and responsible citizen of the country.
• To make them socially aware and inculcate in them values of cooperation, sacrifice and fellow feeling with their fellow beings.

Our Mission

We help students build knowledge of the content and methods of literary studies. Our graduates are well prepared for professional and post-graduate study and for lifelong learning. As part of our roadmap for achieving our vision we provide the following best practices:

• Interactive class through ppt and audio visual medium
• ICT enabled classes through Google Meet as part of hybrid-mode of teaching.
• The Department of Chemistry has a movie club called Cinebus and we screen various movies based on literary texts as well as movies by renowned directors from across the globe for developing critical appreciation of literary and cultural issues of the students.
• We publish one wall magazine called Praxis and one digital magazine called Extra Notes every year for nurturing their creativity.
• The Drama Club of the Department encourages the students to develop their acting ability.
• We organize student seminar, student workshops, debates on contemporary issues, annual quiz competition, essay writing competition, occasional exhibition cum painting / photography competition etc to nurture their creative faculty and develop their communicative skills.
• We organize special lectures annually by renowned academicians from across the country to make the students aware of the latest developments in the literary and intellectual fields. We have Critical Thinking Forum where we invite scholars to share their research so that our students can be aware of latest research fields and gain knowledge about research through interaction with the invited scholars.
• There is a Seminar Library in the department and we offer internet and printing facility to the students at a minimum cost.
• We invite our successful alumni to take classes that help them to remain connected to the department. As part of our inclusive approach we have Slow Learners/ Advanced Learners a well as mentoring facilities. Students can approach us through email or whatsApp.
• The annual educational tour is another attraction for the students. We made it a mission to make the students aware of the North-East India, a region which is least known to mainland India. Therefore, we take our students to North-East India which also helps them understand the indigenous literature from North-East.
• We are developing an effective grievance redressal mechanism and we plan to be in touch with the parents throughout the year by creating a WhatsApp group of parents and teachers.
