    DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE

About the Department

The political science curriculum had inaugurated itself as a pass subject in 1960. It was after 60 years, in 2020, that the department became available as an honours course. The Head of the Department is Dr Pulakesh Sarkar. 
Whilst being quite an infant department, it also has been a prodigy, establishing a very meritorious alumni, who have now been placed in established institutions like Jadavpur and Calcutta University, within the state, and central universities like University of Hyderabad, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi University, TISS Guwahati, etc. A unique proposition of this department has been the number of activities it involves. From two yearly wall magazines (named Dialego), a yearly fest entitled Vox Populi, film screenings to a lot of debates, interactive sessions, etc, the students of this department are always hustling to be in academic participation. 
The guest faculty members, along with Dr Pulakesh Sarkar, ensure that they promote a friendly atmosphere amidst students, in order to exercise a healthy level of interaction. The supporting guest faculty includes Sri Subhankar Pradhan, Sri Sourav Chakraborty, Sri Biswajit Das and Sri Gour Gopal Mistry, along with several visiting senior faculty members like Prof. Indrashis Banerjee of RKM Vidyamandira, Retd Prof. Jatisankar Chatterjee (Ex faculty: RKM Vidyamandira), Retd Dr. Sibranjan Chatterjee (Ex faculty: Maulana Azad College) and Retd Prof Achintyam Chatterjee (Ex faculty: RKMRC Narendrapur). The department also boasts highly supportive seniors, who often indulge in friendly debates with the juniors over political ideologies, and provide constant enlightenment about the subject. We strive to work harder to make ourselves better and ensure that the political science department remains a very inclusive, student friendly area as well as a meritorious one, to make things easier.

Perspective

The department believes in overall inclusivity, and shall always stand by the same. To narrow down the division between the teachers and the taught, through warmth and leniency, in order to achieve an overall academic and co-curricular boost is what we strive for.

Objective

An atmosphere that practices academics, research, interactions, etc, in a cooperative manner, rather than an individualistic one, is what we hope for. We are headstrong upon helping out each and every single student, to bring out the best in them, seeking creative growth as well as the capacity for critical thinking. Assessing the society and its many vices, we seek to create pioneers, who would propagate liberated ideals, penetrating the walls of the classroom, reaching corners where they would become the voice for the voiceless.
