Apart from Professor Das Mahapatra the name of another distinguished Professor Dr. Ashis Kumar Majumder be mentioned, who had his Ph.D thesis under the able supervision of Dr. Sukumar Sen the legendary personality in Bengali Language and Literature and his thesis was of such a towering standard that, Dr.Sen alluded it in his almost legendary books “BangalaSahityerItihas” ( History of Bengali Literature). The present faculty members of the department are always enthusiastic to carry out intensive research work in various areas of language and literature. Apart from its heavy academic workload and activities the department has organized many special lectures and seminars not only on conventional issues of literature, but also in most of the valuable areas of literature beyond the prescribed syllabus of different courses from the year 2015-2019.
