About the Department

Welcome to the Department of Bengali at Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous).
The Department of Bengali at Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous) offers a holistic learning environment and a rich heritage. Established in July 1960, it initially served students of the Higher Secondary Unit with early teachers like Dr. Ramendranath Sarkar and Sri Ananta Rana. Over the years, the department has grown, offering Bengali as a compulsory and elective subject for B.A. students since 2002, and as an Honours subject (Core Course) since 2019. The faculty is dedicated to fostering critical inquiry, language competence, and literary appreciation, with students regularly engaging in seminars, workshops, and lectures.

Perspective

The Bengali Department as is sincerely striving to disseminate quality teaching learning ambience so that our learners can grow and absorb it to the core of their personality. We put honest endeavors to finish the allotted syllabus for each individual teacher within the stipulated time and try to encourage them to go beyond the curriculum. Our Seminar Library contains more than one thousand books. The students, apart from College central Library, can borrow books from the departmental library too on short term basis. The students are encouraged to participate in the extracurricular activities beyond classroom. They do participate regularly in the seminars in presenting papers and they bring accolade for the department. 
We have some great personalities in the department as our teachers, such as Swami Shastrajnanandaji Maharj, Secretary, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Narendrapur, Dr. Gobinda Sarkar, our retired Teacher.

Objective

Bengali department has taken pride of having a folk gallery, where arts and crafts form every corner of the West Bengal have been collected. If you visit our College, visiting our folk gallery is a must. We organize seminars, symposiums, special lectures periodically. Our teachers are regularly contributing in peer-review nationals and international journals. Department will chase the dream of opening the post graduation and research programme in near future. The department has already put up a thesis archive for the students who will take up academics as their career option.
