Department of English
Language is inherently loaded with ideological meaning, and understanding these imports of ideals requires an inquisitive mind, assisted by appropriate knowledge. The department of English aims at equipping the students with knowledge of linguistics, simultaneously introducing them to the aesthetics of literary studies, and infusing an interest in research.
Our undergraduate program introduces a range of subjects that not only induce the spirit of learning and exploration, but also provides them with a multi-dimensional world-view that inspires lifelong habits of critical thinking and compassionate understanding required for wholesome existence. While linguistic studies deal with the contours of communicative mediums, literature caters to instinctive understanding of life, encompassing a channeled arrays of cross-disciplinary concepts related to social, psychological and historical understanding, thus creating an influx of a sufficiently compact knowledge-base.
The department of English was established in 2011, with an aim to provide students with an opportunity to gain prolific knowledge in the areas of linguistics and literature .The department of English also serves a pivotal role in the enhancement of proficiency in all four skills of students from all disciplines across the University. The real aim behind initiating the Undergraduate program was to focus on understanding and preservation of literary and linguistic knowledge while equipping students with an organic sensibility towards the sensitivities attached to communicative traditions. Thus creating a simulative environment which impacts the thinking habits of all stakeholders, assisting them in making informed decisions in life. This corresponds to our overall mission of equipping students with the art of living
Moreover, our faculty is constantly striving to produce pertinent, productive research both in language and literature. We aim to stay au courant with the contemporary research trends and novel areas of studies related to the relevant fields, and we encourage our undergraduate scholars to invest in these areas of exploration.
