Teachers’ DirectoryDirectory----2012012018888 UTTAR BANGA KRISHI VISWAVIDYALAYA Pundibari, Cooch Behar, PIN: 736165, West Bengal, India 1 | P a g e Preface ttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya has played significant role in advancement of Uknowledge in agricultural science and educating students. It has efficiently dealt and is dealing with the local problems of agricultural production system in different agro-climatic conditions of northern part of West Bengal through research and development. Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya is playing a pivotal role to make agriculture more attractive, knowledge vibrant as a profession both for farmers and the students. Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalya has one of the most outstanding faculties in the nation. The tradition of excellence continues today. The teachers of this university are experts and scholarly innovators in every agricultural, horticultural and agricultural engineering field and speciality. As an instructor who participates in the teaching culture at the University, he/she has a great deal of latitude for how he/she teaches his/her course. Their teaching, however, also contributes to our collective mission as undergraduate and postgraduate educators. The faculty members have established an environment conducive to learning, one where ideas can be exchanged freely and easily, engaged the students in learning, where students are motivated to learn, intellectually stimulated and challenged, supported for student learning, where students have access to the academic help they need from instructors and from across the University and also integrated the assessment into student learning, where assignments and tests are part of the learning process, give students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding and provide students a sense of progress in the course. Keeping all these in view there is an urgent need of preparing the directory of the University teachers who are the prime movers of the University. This directory will try to make a journey through the small introduction of the University teachers. The task of preparation of the teachers’ directory of the University could have been completed only with keen support and involvement of all Faculties and the University administration. Still, I would like to make a special mention of Dr. Kausik Pradhan, Assistant Professor, Department of Agricultural Extension, Dr. Nazir Ahmed Pala, Assistant Professor, Department of Forestry, Dr. Gopal Shukla, Assistant Professor, Department of Forestry and Prof. Suchand Dutta, Professor, Regional Research Station, Terai Zone, who have extended their support in the entire process of compilation, designating and editing the directory with their brilliant aptitude and skill. I wish to record my appreciation for the careful and painstaking work of designing the directory by Mr. Subhendu Das who has extended additional time beyond his normal duties. I believe this directory will definitely serve the intended purpose.
