১৯৩৩, শিক্ষার শিশিরণ, রিীন্দ্রনাথ ঠািুর
Here knowledge of truth alone does not suffice; on the contrary this knowledge must continually be renewed by ceaseless effort, if it is not be lost. It resembles a statue of marble which stands in the desert and is continually threatened with burial by the shifting sand. The hands of service must ever be at work, in order that the marble continues lastingly to shine in the sun. To these serving hands mine shall also belong. …
The most important method of education accordingly always has consisted of the where pupil was urged to actual performance. This applies as well to the first attempts at writings of the primary boy as to the doctor’s thesis on graduation from the university, or as to the mere memorizing of a poem, the writing of a composition, the interpretation and translation of a text, the solving of a mathematical problem or the practice of a physical sport. But behind every achievement exists the motivation which is at the foundation of it and, which in turn is strengthened and nourished by the accomplishment of the undertaking.

Brief History of the College
Even after six decades of attaining political independence the peripheral areas of our state are deprived of the lights of higher education. The Ranibandh block is one of those areas. The lofty hills and the sprawling dense forest have made it inaccessible. To respect the rights to education of the people from the periphery of West Bengal a college was established in this block, vide order no. 970 –Edn (A)/10M – 57/13 dated 30/10/2013 under the auspices of Government of West Bengal known as Government General Degree College at Ranibandh.
The academic activities were inaugurated from the session 2015-2016. In the academic session 2015-2016, the college began its journey with six subjects of humanities: Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Santali, History and Education as 3-years honours subjects. In addition to this, the college also offers the general course in Humanities. The College is affiliated to the Bankura University from the academic session 2017- 18. Before 2017-18 the college was affiliated to The University of Burdwan.
From 2017 - 2018 academic session, Physics was introduced as 3-years of honours subject. Though the college has 3 departments for science but only the general courses associated with the Physics Honours course are taughte here. No independent general course curriculum for science is offered to the students yet.
The College has a sizeable 5-acre campus with a three storied building. The spacious and sprawling campus of the college with its lawns, gardens, playgrounds gives a healthy & student-friendly environment keeping in view the all-round development of the students. Different cultural programmes, observation of special days, keep the students engaged in socio-cultural activities. The college also upholds seminars, lectures, workshops, sports activities, N.S.S and other co-curricular activities for the wellbeing of the students. There are two separate students’ common rooms respectively for boys and girls. A healthy canteen is set up for both the teachers and students. Several scholarships and financial supports are provided to the meritorious and needy students.
On the ground floor the college library provides ample opportunities to explore the world of books and hence, the knowledge. There are well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry and Physics. Moreover, the college has set up two virtual classrooms and a laboratory for Mathematics too. Two Virtual cum Smart Class rooms with projector, internet facilities, audio-visual facility are available. The college has an IQAC, as a mechanism to build and ensure a quality culture in the college. The college, overall, gives an encouraging and supportive environment to the students to spread their wings for their future success.
Beinfg far away from the urban amenities the students of this college have to face lots of hurdles and hardships. Riding on a strong will power and unflagging enthusiasm, they overcome all these hardships. In the previous two sessions we, the teachers, have always put our best foot forward to help them find a solution to the hardships they encounter. Our aim was, is and will forever be, to build a healthy, joyful and unhindered ambience for the students to help them in their pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

From the Principal’s Desk
While visiting a Buddhist monastery in Japan the physicist and the great teacher Richard R. Feynman was told by a Buddhist priest a few words: “To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.” Quoting these words in his book The Meaning of It All Feynman commented: “And so it is with science. In a way it is a key to the gates of heaven, and the same key opens the gates of hell, and we do not have any instructions as to which
is which gate.”
Shri Madhusudan Garain The expression of human feelings and perceptions can be Officer-in-Charge summarised as human behaviour. And the nourishment, protection, and a stable development of human civilisation is dependent on human behaviour. Through the adjustment and controlling of the human instincts the expression of human behaviour can be made beautiful, wholesome. The more deep–rooted the acquired practical knowledge and creative values are the more integrated will be the development of the human civilisation. To expand the comment of Feynman we can say that a quality education proves to be the ‘key to heaven’. That is why education is called human resource.
Our college is located in the hinterland of high hills and deep forest in the periphery of West Bengal. To respect the rights of the people of this remote area of West Bengal and to strengthen the base of higher education in West Bengal the Government of West Bengal established this college in 2013. The academic session started from the year 2015. Notwithstanding various adversities we face, we are determined to spread quality education in this peripheral area of West Bengal.
I, on behalf of all teachers and non-teaching staff of our college, welcome all the students desirous of higher education to join this glorious journey of pursuing the infinitely rich world of knowledge. I urge the students to join in this endeavour of creative production of knowledge, and the blessed, beautiful, adjusted, and integrated growth of human perceptions.
With thanks

We have also instructed them on how to avoid plastics and look for alternatives like using jute, cloth or paper bags, and suggested to at least reuse them as many times as they can before disposing the plastics off if they had to use plastics.

The Department started its journey immediately after the first academic year announced by the Government General Degree College at Ranibandh under the affiliation of the University of Burdwan in 2015-16. Far away from the urban amenities the college and the department had to face lots of hurdles and hardships in its beginning years. Gradually, with a lot of care, we have been able to enrich our department with adequate amenities and resources. In 2019, two students have got first class from the 2nd graduate batch of Bengali Honours under the curriculum of the University of Burdwan. The current graduating students of our department who are under the CBCS Curriculum of Bankura University, are more promising. With the help of all, we are dreaming to build our department richer and more productive.

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.” Rabindranath Tagore

Education is an interdisciplinary subject. Furthermore, it has its own various principles, ideas, factors, methods and elements in the spheres of education.

Extracurricular Activities
In the 21st century the pure academic type of education that students are introduced to is steadily paving way to a whole new type of education with a special focus to incorporate three major genres of education: reasoning, psychomotor and emotional learning. Education is a broad concept that surpasses the four walls of a classroom. The core aim of education is to foster all round development of a students. All round development essentially means intellectual, physical, moral, sensible, and social development. All round development can be achieved only through education. Education plays a fundamental role in the making of a man/woman and his/her development as a culturally well-developed social animal. To fulfil these objectives, there is a prime need of striking a balance between syllabus, curriculum, books, and co-curricular activities beyond that.
The vision, mission and objectives of the institution are made to percolate into the fabric of the institution in such a way that through all the curricular and extracurricular

Online Teaching-learning Initiatives
The current pandemic due to novel corona virus has significantly disrupted the higher education sector as well, which is a critical determinant of a student’s future. For educators, the COVID-19 Pandemic is a quintessential adaptive and transformative challenge, one for which there is no preconfigured playbook that can guide appropriate responses. Without bowing to the current challenges, we are committed to our students to continue the teaching-learning process. Although we could not eliminate the difference between classroom teaching and online teaching, but we could explore a new approach of teaching-leaning process through online mode.
Riding on a strong will power and unflagging enthusiasm we are trying to overcome all the hardships during this period. We have arranged several online classes through WhatsApp, Conference-call Google Classroom, Google Meet etc. The study materials have been uploaded in our websites and distributed in specific WhatsApp Groups.
