Inclusion of Regional Culture into the Institutional Practices
The Santali Department of this institution came into being in 2007 which was just one year after the establishment of the College.
Incorporating the study of a regional language in the form of a Course to be taken up by students in both Honours and General programs by following the University guidelines.
Decentralizing the myth of ‘the centre’ and ‘the periphery’ by granting similar value to Santali Language and Literature like all other subjects taught.
Encouraging the non- tribal students to become aware of the rich cultural heritage of Santali Literature.
The College being located within a tribal area and thus named after two famous tribal freedom fighters, it was inevitable that the language and literature of the Tribal Communities be incorporated into the mainstream of the institution’s curriculum so that it could ensure the abolition of a discriminating attitude towards Tribal Community and its culture through a regular practice of cohabitation between the Tribal and non- Tribal learners getting admitted in the institution. The unavailability of any other higher educational institution in the district to impart an undergraduate degree to the students of the University of Burdwan.
