English

English, a universal language, is a phenomenon that cuts across geographical and cultural boundaries and unifies the world as a whole. In the contemporary global scenario, English has grown by leaps and bounds and positioned itself as the language of education, technology, science, trade and cross-cultural relations. In addition to its basic tenet which caters to help widen the learners’ perspective by introducing them to various cultures across the globe, English Language and Literature as a discipline furnishes the inculcation of values, enriches communicative skills, and thereby grooms the holistic development of the students. The Department is chiefly interested in opening fresh avenues for personality development and command of language skills and behavioural skills along with the acquisition of English language skills through language lab activities and Cambridge English examinations.  It offers need-based programmes, provided in an academic environment of quality higher education, and imbibes essential and universal values implicit in literature and life. The students are trained to acquire English communicative skills along with knowledge about varied social and national values obtained from the study of literature written in English around the globe.
