  • Interdisciplinary Activities:
    • As the first wave of COVID-19 forced a nationwide lock-down all the educational institutions along with other sectors were taken aback due to the sheer unpreparedness for the circumstances. When sustainability of life became a matter of anxiety, education and cultural activity went much down on the priority list. At such a critical juncture our institution decided to stick to the important values of our nation in whichever way possible. An official YouTube channel was created to transform the cultural and other related activities to the digital platform. Students from various departments including former students performed singing, dancing, recitation etc from their home and sent video recordings. Those recordings were compiled into a single large video and uploaded onto the said YouTube channel on 08 May 2020 in order to celebrate Rabindra Jayanti in online mode. Online inter college Quiz competition 2020: It was observed that the forced isolation during the COVID-19 lock-down situation was slowly destroying the free spirit of the student community. Though we were trying our best to boost their energy level in online classes, a complete substitute for their physical meeting and enjoying the warmth of friendship was not possible. A humble attempt was made in collaboration with Chakdah College and Sree Gopal Banerjee College to increase the involvement and energy level of students by arranging an online quiz on 23 June 2020. Online debate and cross word puzzle competition 2020: It was also observed that not all the students are comfortable in quiz. In order to accommodate students who would prefer some recreational creative activity we had organised an online debate and crossword puzzle competition as well with the same collaboration as mentioned above on 24 June 2020. These two online competitions catered students not only from Kolkata and surroundings but from North and South 24 Parganas, Burdwan, Nadia and Berhampur as well.
