Departmental Wall Magazine named “Dialego” focusing on specific topic is published within the academic session. A bilingual Departmental Journal named “Statecraft” was published first time in 2016. “Humanity and Disaster” (মানবতা এবং অতিমারী) was the theme in 2022-23. All the students gathered to observe Teachers Day, celebrate Fresher’s Welcome and bid Farewell to outgoing or pass out students. “Democratic Consciousness: Challenges and Opportunities” was our focus in 2023-24. Every year after the wall magazine is published there is departmental seminar concluded by student’s presentations.

Electoral Literacy Club has been set up in our college. The Electoral Literacy Club is functional and representative in character and the structure that is decided is stated below.

Executive Committee is to be formed with 3 teachers, 1 office staff and 4 student representatives from all semesters. The Nodal Officer also does mentor the club. Apart from members, students act as volunteers to assist in the activities of club. The District Collector, who is also District Election Officer (DEO) and Electoral Registration Officer, guidance is sought in our endeavour.

The said Club is formed to generate awareness about their political right i.e. right to vote. It works as Voter Awareness Forum (VAF) for staff and newly admitted students. It is quintessential to motivate the voters so that politically apathetic denizens realise that one man one vote is a very effective weapon to bring about change in democracy. The target will be to create Empowered (Prospective) Voter. Every vote and opinion counts in democracy.

Thought provoking games, classroom activities, quiz, outreach programmes etc are organised at regular intervals to create informed electorates.

The future voters will be informed about process of registration and voting. All must exercise their voting rights.

As majority of our students are from socially, educationally and economically backward sections of society and most of them are first generation learners, it is possible to reach out to the community and marginalized sections through the students.

Poster competition, awareness session and preparation of Handbook for voters are part of Plan of Action (POA) of ELC. Mock election will be staged to generate awareness about voting process and furnish with first hand information. Election issues or agenda can be taken up to organise debate and healthy discussion on specific problems.

A drive will be taken through Google Form to find out how many admitted students have enrolled themselves as voters in the electoral roll if not, then what are the issues to be addressed upon.

Last but not the least students will encourage all the voters to exercise their right in free and fair means (ethical voting).

Most of our pass out students has joined a Whats App group formed to connect with them whenever there is any academic exercise, departmental seminar, Teachers day celebration, launch of wall magazine Dialego they actively come forward to be a part of the necessary endeavour. A few alumnus has shown keen interest to join Parampara Study Circle. The pass out students also interact with faculty for academic support and guidance even share the problems that they are facing in the University while pursuing higher education seek assistance from the concerned faculty. There are students who have shown keen interest for personal guidance and assistance in UPSC and WBCS exams as well as JNU entrance to pursue Masters Degree.
