Principal's Message :


   As we are going to plan for this new academic session, we had to face a situation never witnessed in our lifetime. We are in the midst of Pandemic affected by the dreaded Corona Virus. Everything had to be stopped at one go. The petrifying and severe impact of COVID-19 has shaken the world to its core. Further, most of the Governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In India too, the government as a part of the nationwide lockdown has closed all educational institutions, as a consequence of which, learners ranging from school going children to postgraduate students, are affected.

   These nationwide closures are impacting over 91% of the worlds' student population. Several other countries have implemented localized closures impacting millions of additional learners. UNESCO is supporting countries in their efforts to mitigate the immediate impact of school closures, particularly for more vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, and to facilitate the continuity of education for all through remote learning. The UNESCO report estimates that the corona virus pandemic will adversely impact over 290 million students across 22 countries. The UNESCO estimates that about 32 crores students are affected in India, including those in schools and colleges. Therefore, the government has come up with e-learning program so that our institution. Nevertheless, Covid-19 has prompted experts to rethink the conventional mode of education. Digital education appears to be a viable solution to fill in the void for classroom education for a period of three to four months while minimizing the chances of any infection to students until classes resume. E-learning also has come as an interesting and interactive alternative as compared to classroom teaching.

   For this academic session, the governing body of the college has initiated some plans for the staff and students. Though, our college admission process and payment system were paperless since 2018, from this year On line Learning Management System would be started, as it is not possible to start conventional class room teaching, following Covid-19 protocols of the State and Union Government. The admission Cancellation process will also be on line, where students who are interested to change their college after getting selection at other college of their choice.

   I am pleased to mention here that our proposal for allotment of land for establishment of 2nd Campus is approved. For this, the initiatives taken by our local MLA and Honourable MiC, Tourism, Sj. Gautam Deb is praiseworthy. He is also kind enough to donate 15 Desktop Computers with high configurations for the development of our Language and Computer Laboratory. Our Governing Body, led by President G.B Sri Jayanta Moulik always extend his supports for innovative ideas and all round development of the institution.

   The college has highly qualified faculties, supportive office associates, well equipped laboratories with modern Computer and Language Laboratories; library with rich collection of books, journals and periodicals with specious reading room separately for faculties and students; canteen facilities and all other facilities. The college is the only college in Siliguri with valid NAAC Accreditation and ISO certification. Besides formal education, the college has two units of NSS and from this year two / three units of NCC ( One Boys and Two Girls SD) are expected to be raised.

   The institution is named after a great freedom fighter & revolutionist "Surya Sen", nicknamed as "Master Da". As a Principal, for me, education is not learning by rote and then repeating it in the examination. Our approach is student centred and goes beyond text books, class rooms and boundaries. Students develop practical skills, enabling them to apply their learning to unfamiliar situations and think & act critically about different issues confronted in their life. This will prepare them a lifelong success. This edifice and temple of learning will always be a source of never-ending inspiration to our young students.

Last, not the least, I welcome to you all with our best wishes to this Mahavidyalaya.
