curriculum, we have offered different types of philosophy like theistic, atheistic,
polytheistic, monistic etc. to enrich and broaden the mental horizon of the students.
We want to acquaint students with the contemporary philosophical development so
that they may become curious to know the real significance of ultimate reality. We
are trying to make our students competent enough to serve our motherland sincerely
and selflessly so that they can be the bright illustration of morality. We offer a unique
opportunity to pursue a diversified and a well-balanced plan of study which includes
courses ranging from epistemology, metaphysics and axiology. Some of our areas of
specialization are analytic philosophy, ethics, philosophy of language, philosophy of
mind, phenomenology, existentialism, aesthetics, contemporary continental
philosophy, marxism and post-modernism. More than five hundred students are
studying in the Department at present, with the active and cordial guidance of 24
academic staff. In addition to B.A. Honors and M.A. degrees the Department offers
M.Phil. and Ph.D Degrees as well under the active guidance of the well qualified

Mission and Objectives of the Department
The mission of the Department is to develop human resources by exploring the fullest
potential with intellectual capability, cross cultural and ethical values. The department has a
spirit of making students enthusiastic in lifelong learning through quality education for
better life, better nation and knowledge-based society. The objectives of our Department are
to develop the ability of the students to enquire into the key problems relating to this
universe and the lives therein, to define issues precisely and to criticize them, to learn how to
construct and formulate arguments, to expose hidden assumptions, to develop open-
mindedness towards ideas other than one's own, and to write and speak with precision,
coherence and clarity. We have been trying to create a congenial atmosphere for the
students to express their views regarding the origin and development of life and the
universe. As Philosophy is called the love of wisdom, students should enquire into the
meaning and truth hidden in nature and natural objects. The graduates of this Department
have a prospect to join various prestigious jobs in Government and Non-Government
