Department of English

About the Department

The department of English was established in 1998, the year of opening of the college. It engages classes at UG and PG level. Dr. Bramhadutta Pandey, the former principal of the college, explored his knowledge and experience. The foundation that laid down by him blossomed the department. His invisible hands are still behind the achievements of the department. Dr. Smt. Pathak had briefly served the department. The department is marching ahead under the successful leadership of Dr. Subodhkumar Singh, the Principal of the college at present.
