We are a four member faculty striving together to foster love for literature. We believe in inculcating the ideals of integrity and perseverance as enshrined in the life of our founder: the nineteenth century academician and humanitarian PanditIshwarchandraVidyasagar.The students are always solicited to attend the lectures regularly where the texts are taught with meticulous care. The teachers hold informal discussions and try to enliven the class room lectures with the help of powerpoint presentations and question answer sessions. In each class, time is set apart for addressing the queries of the students. The students may also approach the teachers with their doubts after class hours as well.
