Philosophy Honours Course was introduced in the year 2002. One of the students from the first batch has obtained 1st class in the year 2005. Medium of instruction in this college is English. In spite of that, many students take admission in this department from several Bengali medium schools of the city and its outskirts. The faculty gives essential effort to help them that they can follow lectures and secure good results in the final examination. In order to boost up the self-confidence of the students, the faculty guides them in organising Departmental seminars where each and every student gets a platform to present her paper. Students of this department take part in various inter collegiate debates and seminars that are organised for the students by different Universities on International Philosophy Day every year.

Vision & Mission

Vision & Mission

In every school of Indian thought, philosophy is intimately associated with practical life. Darsan makes them aware of truth and reality in every aspect of life. Theory does not exist without a practical application. Philosophy is pursued, not as an academic discipline, but as a necessary guide for man's life. A knowledge of truth needs to be cultivated in order to understand how life can best be led and this knowledge can best be provided by this subject. It became customary for Indian Philosophers to explain at the beginning of a philosophical work how it served human ends (puruṣārtha). Study of puruṣārtha in the beginning itself gives them life lessons and also creates a vision in their lives which in the long run becomes their mission, that is to uplift all, the whole universe, Vasundhara through this wisdom and enlightenment The department will develop lifelong learners via innovative curriculum, active learning and research activities.
