Department of Education

 

The Education Department of the College started its journey a few years after the establishment of the College with part-time teachers like Shri P. Gupta, Shri S. Mazumdar and some others managing the department till Shri (Late) Nani Gopal Goswami joined the department as the first regular teacher on 9th August, 1961. Shri (Late) Baidyanath Bhattacharjee joined the department in 1961 and later in 1964 Dr.(Mrs.) Biloris Lyndem Laso also followed suit. Shri Goswami expired while in service and Shri B. N. Bhattacharjee retired from services in early eighties. Dr. Lyndem left the department to join an assignment in North Eastern Hill University and at present she is the Chairperson, State Women Cell, Meghalaya. The department has been catering to the needs of the students with respect to the course contents of the Degree Courses in Education (General and Honours courses) as prescribed by the University as well as Higher Secondary courses of the Meghalaya Board of School Education. The department of the College has plans to conduct survey and research pertaining to the problems of school drop-outs, rural illiteracy, more socially relevant course content and overall improvement of the teaching learning of the subject at the different levels.

Presently, the department comprises of following four lecturers:

  1. Smti. O. Kharkongor (HOD)
2. Smti. R. Dkhar
3. Dr. H. Iangrai
4. Smti. H. Diengdoh
5. Smti. I. Tariang


The overall performance of the department has been very satisfactory,considering the low entry level percentage of the students (only 45% marks for Honours), but as the teachers take extra interest to meet the requirements of the students the academic environment is quite homely making it comfortable to the students.
