Department of English

The Department of English started functioning in 1965, initially enrolling students for the General Course. Later, in 1995, the Honours Course was introduced, keeping an eye on its need and demand in the locality. At its primary stage, only one substantial post was sanctioned by the D.P.I and years later, a second post was created. Eventually, a third post was created and sanctioned by the D.P.I .
