The college, despite its constraints of being a constituent college of Burdwan University, has developed an indigenous ecosystem for innovations, and Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in the following ways:
- Observance of festivals and special days like Republic Day, Saraswati Puja, Dol Utsab ( the festival of colours), 25th Baisakh (The Birthday of Rabindranath Tagore), birthdays of other great Indians, Independence Day, Raksha Bandhan Teachers’ Day, etc. which bear the hallmark of Indian culture and Indianness.
- The Library preserves some rare collections of Indian literature, including Bengali, Sanskrit and Indian English Literatures. For example, the college library has rare authentic collections of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
- The Library has a rich collection of Sanskrit scriptures and books on Sanskrit Poetics.
- The Library contains a separate room for preserving historical books and biographies. For example, in our library can may find the rare critical journals on Dalit Literature.
- The nurturing of Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is particularly done through certain courses with the CBCS syllabus. For example the CC1 of English Hons is on Classical Indian literature which includes texts like the Mahabharata (Book-2), Kalidasa’s Abhijnan Shakuntalam, Sudraka’s Mricchakatika, Banabhatta’s Kadambari, etc. Similarly at the UG level such Indian critical concepts like Bharata’s Rasa theory and Anandabardhana’s Dhvani theory are taught.
- Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is further cultivated by inviting experts on areas germane to Indian literature, criticism and culture on the one hand, and by inviting faculty members of Sanskrit and Philosophy from within the college to offer an overview on these areas.
Being a constituent college, this college does not have an Incubation center in the true sense of the term. Nevertheless, the college has constituted a governing cell for promotion of research. Teachers who have earned appreciable distinction as researchers are members of the body which acts as an Incubation Centre to promote and initiate the following actions:
- To advise and assist the faculty to apply for Major/Minor Research Projects and other Fellowships
- To motivate the faculty to publish research articles on regular basis
- To identify emerging areas of research
- To publish the College multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, JAST
- To ensure that books and equipments procured for a particular research can be further utilized by other researchers
- To preserve & make accessible fruits of research
The cell is visibly active as evident from the following:
- Five issues of the Research journal published
- Taken initiative to update teacher profile and post it on institutional website
- www.mucwcburdwan.org in order to open avenue for collaborative research
- Taken decision for adhering to the principle of research-ethics in publication
- Recommended to the Management introduction of Research-incentive scheme
- The college also encourages its faculties to ensure their IPR, and technology transfer
- Moved the college authority in approaching the University with proposal for recognition of research supervisors. At present there are six successful research supervisors from this college: Dr. Sisir Kumar Garai (Physics); Dr. Pradipta Sengupta (English); Dr. Ahin Punya Mitra (Philosophy); Dr. Anupama Chowdhury (English); Dr. Kazi Mojur Ali (Nutrition); and Dr. Nayan Roy (Zoology).
