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
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. The
Department of Philosophy envisions educating students by
offering a balance between access and excellence, enabling these
students to achieve fulfilling careers commensurate with their
abilities and to meet the needs of the global society. Students
who graduate from our department will become lifelong learners
in diverse careers, serving the greater good by developing and
sustaining an ethical civilization.

Philosophy allows you to consider the big questions in life
and teaches you how to analyse and communicate ideas logically,
which are skills that many employers value. Once you have
secured for yourself a degree in philosophy, you can venture
onto any career field with a diverse set of job opportunities.
Human resources
A career in philosophy is helpful in developing the skills
required to efficiently work in HR. Since philosophy
students better balance out empathy and compassion with
workplace professionalism, and weigh the pros and cons of
any situation from all angles.
Counsellor/ mediator
A career in philosophy allows you to think for yourself and
to analyse and comprehend ideas clearly and logically, which
is why counselling and mediating are recommended job
profiles. A career in philosophy with counselling or
mediation requires you to be a good listener with excellent
communication skills and to be able to parse and decipher
what's really occurring between two or more potential
hostile parties.
Journalism and writing
Journalism and other writing endeavours rely on strong
communication, along with the ability to synthesize complex
information and translate technical jargon in an
intelligible manner, making it the perfect career in
philosophy to pursue. A philosophy degree encourages and
refines these skills. Individuals with a background in
philosophy who are interested in entering this industry can
find work as reporters, broadcasters, news correspondents,
and media analysts.
Academia and research
To launch your career in philosophy, you can enter the field
of academics and research by becoming a professor. After
all, teachers and need to be good at conveying complicated
terms, concepts, and ideas to their students. A
philosophy-trained teacher will be able to articulate and
express complex ideas and terms, making almost all subjects
accessible and within reach for all their students.
Advertising and marketing
The marketing and advertising industry relies heavily on
strong communication skills and clear deductive reasoning.
Philosophy graduates who are comfortable with the written
and spoken word stand to benefit the most from this
landscape, as do those with a keen sense for developing
cogent, logical arguments for public consumption while
tackling societal issues in the same breath. Pursuing a
career in philosophy can help you find employment as
editors, copywriters, advertising managers, art directors,
and marketing consultants.
Pursuing a career in philosophy lies in its quality of being
dynamic yet fundamental to the way life works, making it a
popular subject choice amongst young students. The only thing
you need to do is keep asking questions, and light up the
inquisitive side you possess.
