AN INTRODUCTION

Assam University, Silchar, is a Central University established by an Act of the Indian Parliament (Act XXIII of 1989), and came into existence in 1994. Situated in the Barak Valley of southern Assam, the University is nestled in a sprawling 600-acre campus at Dargakona, about 23 km from Silchar town. In 2007, Assam University opened a 90-acre satellite campus at Diphu in the Karbi Anglong Hills District of Assam, thereby making quality higher education accessible to a wider section of society. With students’ strength about 3246 in the Silchar campus and 705 in Diphu campus, the University is a veritable melting pot of diverse communities, ideas and creativity. Apart from the two campuses of the University, there are 73 affiliated and permitted colleges in the five districts of south Assam, which together constitute the jurisdiction of Assam University and there are more than 37,367 students enrolled in the affiliated colleges. Since 1994, Assam University has expanded both in size and reputation. Today, there are 39 postgraduate departments under 16 schools of studies in the Silchar campus and 10 departments in Diphu campus, offering a wide range of programmes geared towards equipping students and research scholars with knowledge, skills, experience and confidence, the benefits of which they can reap well into the future. Besides, there are several Centres of Study in the University dedicated to research of high quality. Recently, the University has developed a strategy for enhancing the range of pedagogic uses of technology. As part of this strategy, the University is in the process of gradually turning all its classrooms into state-of-the-art ones enabling teachers to teach using a wide variety of media. There's no gainsaying that in the last twenty two years of its relentless pursuit of academic excellence, Assam University has made giant strides in providing better academic atmosphere and improved infrastructural facilities.

Department of Hindi

Year of Establishment : July, 1998 Head of the Department : Prof. Krishna Mohan Jha

Research and Developmental Activities

The Department is situated in a university which has unique feature of being in a linguistically and culturally diverse milieu. M.A. Hindi students of the department are from Bhojpuri, Bengali, Manipuri, Bodo, Mizo and Assamese speaking societies. Hindi as Official and National language has a definite role to play in this remote area.

Teaching and research in Hindi at university level in itself is an achievement in this remote region of North-east India (i.e. Barak Valley). This has not only helped to integrate the people of this region with wider Hindi linguistic and literary scenario but it has also helped in establishing dialogue between Hindi speaking and other linguistic societies who’s culture, language and literature is very significant for national unity and integrity. In this background, the Thrust area of the department is Hindi Literature with special emphasis on contemporary Literature and its interaction with other Indian Languages and literature. M. Phil. & Ph.D.- Research is being pursued on Historiography of Hindi Literature, Hindi Poetry, Fiction and Hindi language.
