Vision of the Department:

---

To establish a strong base of literature studies along with equipping the students with a practical linguistic knowledge of Bengai language with a view to create a job oriented pool of students. The department aims to create a flowerbed for the students where they seamlessly graduate from first generation learners/college goers to aficionados of literary studies. The department seeks to expose the students to a larger and more competitive environment by making the students engage in inter college and intra departmental seminars, conferences and other forms of academic encounters. Ultimately, the department could grow into an autonomous unit with its own Masters’ programme with a valid research agenda with sufficient government and non-government funding in the next five years.
