Strength:
“My hope of the future lies in the youths of character, intelligent, renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient – good to themselves and the country at large”
– Swami Vivekananda
Youth is strength of this great country. Significantly, the premier and one of the oldest departments of Dinhata College that is the Commerce Department was set up in the very year of establishment of Dinhata College, itself. Legend has it, that at one point of time, Dinhata College was known across district borders right upto Siliguri and beyond and students hailing from far-away Assam came to study Commerce subject at Dinhata College. The hallowed precincts of Dinhata College boasts of two Assistant Professors of the Commerce department, namely the Head, Dr. Surya Narayan Ray and the highly qualified and energetic Dipak Kundu, who are very enthusiastic and dedicated that belie their young age. They take Tutorial, Class test to improve the overall performance of the students and hold extensive interactions with the students through Guardians-Teachers Meetings, Educational/Industrial Tours, Special Lectures and so on. Moreover, there exists homely atmosphere and intimate relationship between teachers and students. The Commerce faculty enjoys a commendable bonhomie with the faculty of other departments and enters into on-campus inter-departmental partnership. For example, the Head of the Commerce Department, Dr. Surya Narayan Ray had entered into a on-campus interdepartmental partnership with Sri Pradip Chandra Saha, Head of Political Science Department, to jointly convene a UGC sponsored National Seminar on 26-27 December, 2015. Likewise, the Head of the Commerce Department, Dr. Surya Narayan Ray had also entered into a on-campus interdepartmental partnership with Dr. Sadhan Chandra Kar, the erstwhile Head of Economics Department and presently the Principal, alongwith Dr. Amlan Majumder, the current Head of the Economics Department to jointly convene a UGC sponsored National Seminar on 19-20 December, 2015. Dr. Surya Narayan Ray also delivered an enlightening and well-received lecture on Renaissance in Cooch Behar to the English students during an English Departmental Seminar.
Weakness:
The Department has only two permanent teachers. Most of the students come from poor and backward family and thereby cannot attend classes regularly as they are to provide economic support to their family. Also, the number of students to the Under-Graduate courses of Commerce is gradually decreasing during the last few years. This is perhaps due to the lack of knowledge of the vast potential of commerce in huge bustling cities like that of Kolkata or New Delhi, as well a due to the lack of employable opportunities in governmental teaching posts.
Opportunities:
However, the learners are always made aware of the wide scope for their future. Efforts are on to enhance the quality of the students by giving them opportunities of interaction with the senior faculty members of other cognate institutions or Seminars by means of special classes.
A special opportunity awaits the commerce graduates of this College to take advantage of the current Indo-Bangladesh SAARC bonhomie when eventually, the Indo-Bangladesh rail line is re-opened and trade and commerce will flourish once again.
Challenges:
The future of the Department of Commerce of Dinhata College is pregnant with opportunities. The economic prosperity of this great country depends on the academic brilliance of the commerce graduates churned out by commerce departments of nation-wide colleges. The main challenge is to enhance the skill potential of the students in classes as well as to create awareness about the huge employable as well as entrepreneurial potential of commerce graduates in big metropolis or elsewhere.
