Pandit Tirthanath Sarma, eminent scholar and litterateur, responded to and actively participated in the nation building by taking charge as the founder Principal of the College. From its modest inception as an Arts College, Pragjyotish College has now developed into one of the premier institutions of higher education in Guwahati as well as in the North East. At present, it is a well known full- fledged degree College, imparting higher education in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. The College also has two Post-Graduate departments, viz. Assamese and Tourism Management. The College is permanently affiliated to Gauhati University and registered under 2(F) and 12(B) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. The College has the distinction of being assessed and accredited twice by the NAAC in 2003 and 2010 respectively, and it was placed in ‘Grade B’ in a four point scale, valid upto 2016. The College is most ideally situated on the bank of the river Bharalu in the Western part of Guwahati. Pragjyotish College is about 1 kilometre away from its confluence with the mighty Brahmaputra and about 4 kilometres away from the Guwahati Railway Station and at a distance of about 20 kilometres from the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport. At the backdrop of the College is a beautiful panoramic view of Nilachal hill, the famous abode of Mother Goddess Kamakhya. At the entrance of the College, the two beautiful ponds present a serene atmosphere for pursuing knowledge and excellence. In the emblem of the College is ingrained the motto Tejasvinavadhitamastu (Let our studies be vigorous...) and a conch shell at the centre on a eight- petalled full blown beautiful lotus, which symbolizes pure knowledge and the relationship between the teacher and the learner, praying to Almighty God for energy, protection, maintenance that ultimately leads to peace and bliss. In its glorious existence of over sixty years, Pragjyotish College, as alma mater, has produced a galaxy of eminent persons in all walks of life. The College celebrated its Diamond Jubilee Year (2013-14). As on date the faculties of Pragjyotish College has involved full of academic activities. Teachers have organised research activities, writing books and papers of popular utility as well as higher research standard. Among the two streams (Arts and Science) seventy permanent teachers and in addition twenty- two in Commerce, seven in Computer Science, seven in Master of Tourism Management (MTM), two in Bodo and more than thirty guest faculty members. At present thirty-nine teachers are Ph.D. holders and four teachers pursuing Ph.D. with the help of UGC grants and sixteen teachers are M.Phil. holders. The Pragjyotish College Teachers’ Unit (PCTU) instituted memorial lecture of founder Principal Pandit Tirthanath Sarma, most of the departments organised UGC sponsored Seminar, Educational Talk, Blood Donation Camp and performing various academic activities with their departmental students like educational tour, publishing wall magazine, social works, etc. Aims & Scope The overwhelming purpose of the journal is to create a community of scholars and to promote serious study in the field of Humanities, Science and Commerce. It does so by acting as a vehicle that promotes scholarship and disseminates knowledge in any section of the Journal is of interest. Prag Consilience will make a serious effort to bring to light all these issues. In this publication, we have tried to follow APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing from the book titled Simon of Schuster Handbook for Writers, 7th Ed., 2002 written by Lynn Quitman Troyka with Douglas Hesse and the book titled Strategies for Successful Writing- A Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader and Handbook, 6th Ed., 2002 written by James A. Reinking, Andrew, W. Hart & Robert, Vonder Osten. However, we have followed MLA (Modern Language Association) style in case of some literature papers. As this is our first publication, we will take care of all these aspects in our future publication with the help of creative suggestions. In this Vol.1 No.1 (2016) of Prag Consilience (ISSN 2456-6861, RNI No. ASSMUL/2016/70132), we publish twenty-four research papers covering different subjects contributed by the esteemed authors. Here I take the opportunity to thank those authors who have contributed their valuable learned papers that have made the publication possible. To look after the research activities of the College, Pragjyotish College Research Council (PCRC) was constituted on 24/08/2015 with the following members: President: Ms. Pallabi Sarmah, Principal (i/c) Pragjyotish College Vice President: (1) Dr. Runima Baishya (Science Section) (2) Dr. Jogesh Chandra Deka (Humanities Section) Secretaries: (1) Dr. Priyam Barthakur (Science Section) (2) Dr. Jyotirmoy Sengupta (Humanities Section) Members: (1) Atanu Kr.
