Assistant Professor and Head of the Department

B.A. (Hons.) in Hindi, The University Of Burdwan, West Bengal, India

M.A. in Hindi, The University Of Burdwan, West Bengal, India

Ph.D in the year 2009 from The University Of Burdwan, West Bengal, India

I ranked First class in B.A (Hons.) Hindi at The University Of Burdwan West Bengal, India where I stood First in First class in M.A Hindi with record marks and was awarded University Gold medal. I enrolled for  PhD at the University of Burdwan in the year 2005 and was duly admitted satisfactorily to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in arts Hindi on dated 09th June, 2009. I had past experience working as Channel Presenter and announcer for live programme in All India Radio, Calcutta for more than 6 years; I have ample experience of translating Radio-plays in AIR Calcutta and script writing for Tele-soaps, Mega-serial, Documentaries, Music video for Doordarshan, Kolkata, HMV and other private channels. I have also completed online examinations MCP, MCSE, MCSA and MCDBA of Microsoft Corporation USA in the year 2001. I started my journey of teaching career from a college residing at South Calcutta in the year 2004. In the year 2006 I accepted the offer of teaching in the Department of Hindi at Women’s College, Calcutta, more specifically to say from the inception of the department at Honours level in Under Graduation. Teaching stints as Lecturer and Head of the Department at Women's College, Calcutta for 7 years was really very convincing for my academic and administrative spell. I also served Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Calcutta region as Guest faculty and Evaluator at post graduate level for more than 5 years and continued my Radio-talks for Gyan Vani Channel of IGNOU especially meant for distance education. I have published several articles in various National Journals, Multidisciplinary peer-reviewed International Journals and E-journals. A monograph “The Fictional Works of Agneya: Reflections on Impending Death” which is a part of my research work had been published by Aksharmanjari in the year 2009.

I have always a keen interest on ‘Stream of Consciousness’ because I believe Human psychology is the root cause of any sort of changes and Literature works as a perfect reflector which facilitates to understand people of anywhere by means of plunk dimension. Psychology based writings of eminent Hindi author ‘Sacchidananda Hirananda Vatsyayan Agneya’ with comparative analysis of world literature of same genre thus became in prime focus of my research pedagogy. I have seven years of working experience as Head of the Department in Women’s College, Calcutta.

For almost a decade in the Calcutta University affiliated colleges I taught courses of History of Hindi Literature, Modern poetry and fictions with critical methodologies and comparative criticisms at Honours level. I have also taught interdisciplinary courses to the students of Bengali Honours in Women’s College, Calcutta. Currently I am teaching Pre to Post-middle era in The History of Hindi Literature and also Hindi plays – Etymology, Theory, Comparative & Contemporary views to the under graduate major students and Indian poetics (Kavyashastra), Postmodernism for post graduate major students.

I have an experience working as counselor and evaluator in diploma and degree courses at Post Graduate level in Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) for more than five years.
