Nagaraj Research & Development activities Department has been able to bring virtually every aspect of communication discipline under scanner for the purpose of research. It has been an earnest endeavour on the part of the department to unearth the opaque areas of the field of communication. The teachers in the department are alive to the problems of applicability of academic research and are trying to break new grounds in an effort to bridge the gulf between academia and the outside world in a developing society. The department harbours the hope of developing an Indian paradigm of communication research because it would be able to put the department not only on the international map but also would impart it a distinct place among the Indian universities. The department has a policy of engaging the research scholars in meaningful activities and has already been able to employ almost 30% of its research scholars as permanent employees. The department provides a healthy library facility to its research scholars. The department has decided to use its resources for dissemination of modern scientific knowledge to rural people through the use of traditional medium of communication and is currently holding discussion with different agencies like National Rural Health Mission, Sarba Sikshya Aviyaan Directorate to decide on the modalities of cooperation. The department has in the last one and half year actively started the practice of bringing in professionals and internationally reputed professors from foreign universities to provide the students with an understanding of the humdrums of outside world.

Department of Hindi Year of Establishment : 1998 Head of the Department : Dr. Krishna Mohan Jha

Research & Development activities: The Department of Hindi was established in the transit accommodation in 1998 with Masters Degree Programme in Hindi. The Department has been offering PhD Programmes since 2001. The first batch of M. Phil course started in January 2007. The department is situated in a university which has unique feature of being in a linguistically and culturally diverse milieu. Assam state has its neighbours all the north eastern provinces (Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh) apart from Bangladesh. That’s why linguistic and cultural diversity is its defining feature. Barak Valley has Bangla as its main language. After that Manipuri, Hindi and other languages follow. Dimasa, Khasi, Hamar, Kuki, Naga are the tribal languages of the area. Tea garden labourers are Santhal, Munda, Oraon and Oriya speaking apart from Bhojpuri (A dialect of Hindi) speaking population. 31

Students of the Department are from all these different linguistic backgrounds. Hindi as national and official language has a definite role to play in this remote area. Before opening of Hindi department in Assam University there was no system of Hindi teaching in this region at higher level. At present the university is not only running P.G level courses in Hindi but the department is also working as nodal centre in Hindi teaching in affiliated colleges. 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 and different societies, their culture, language and literature which is significant for national unity and integrity while developing knowledge. In this background the thrust area of the department is as follows- A) Contemporary Hindi Literature and its interaction with other Indian Languages and their Literature. B) Socio-linguistics. C) Nineteenth century Hindi literature and Renaissance. The Department had the following teaching staff during the year : Professor s: Bishwanath Prasad, Satya Pal Singh Chauhan Associate Professors : Krishna Mohan Jha Assistant Professors : Prabhat Kumar Mishra, Akash Verma, Sheetanshu Kumar, Vedaparna Dey Courses offered : M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D by course work, D.
