Department of Philosophy
The Department of Philosophy started its academic journey from the academic session 2013-14. Initially the department was run by Guest Faculty. In the second year of its existence, Dr. Roitualiana Darlong, Assistant Professor joined the department. Since its inception there have not been good strength as there are not many students in the feeding schools as well. Philosophy is taught as elective subject only since its beginning till date. Dr. Darlong is single faculty member until Dr. Monoranjan Das, Associate Professor joined the family but who stayed only a year and half.
As the department always has small number of students, it is easy to impart education with various methods, like micro teaching, group discussions, departmental seminars etc. Moreover, teachers can be easily access by students. The department has adequate number of books in the library.
The department lays prospects and scope for the students through the designed syllabus and beyond to help build their lives meaningful and pursue human values. It is through ethical motivational endeavor that students are equipped in incorporation of social and political philosophy as well.
The department arranged tutorial type classes for weak and slow learners in addition to normal routine.
