Principal‟s Message

From the Principal‟s Desk Dear Students

In 1881, an 18 year old teenager, not unlike yourself, presented himself before the spiritual guru, Sri Ramakrishna, at a temple in Dakshineshwar and asked him profound questions on the nature of existence. This interaction would later be known as the beginning of the making of the man who would go on to be known around the world as Swami Vivekananda. This anecdote shows that it is never too early to consider the most important questions a person can face, it is never too early to ask what small change you can bring to this world and even if you haven‟t thought of it until now, it is never too late to begin. At the core of his belief system was a deep and abiding trust in the true nature of human beings who would act as ethical beings because it was the right thing to do.

Each and every one of you will one day have to ascribe a meaning to your life. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.” Your education here, in this college and outside it, during your time here and long after you graduate, will help you find that truth. The true hallmark of that education would be one “by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one‟s own feet.” So, seek out that education, discover that truth and remember to use it well.

I welcome you all to this great institution of higher learning and assure you of a nurturing and caring environment that will see all of you blossom into empowered and sensitive human beings. Dr. Hina Nandrajog Officiating Principal

French The Department of French came into existence in 2008 in Vivekananda College. The aim of French studies is to gain knowledge of a global language spoken in around 29 countries and the second-most widely learned foreign language in the world.

Living in a globalized world, one can hardly ignore the importance of a foreign language. Being a polyglot or learning a new language, not only improves career prospects but also enhances understanding of a new culture and henceforth, increases one‟s social and intellectual boundaries. Needless to say, the knowledge of a foreign language places you as one step ahead in a multi-national environment.

Here at Vivekananda College, we acknowledge its importance and offer French as Core Programme in BA Programme. The language will be taught from basics for a span of 3 years, enabling the students to acquire language abilities in particular and the subject matter around it in general, such as, culture and civilization, translation into other languages, literature etc.

The students of the Department participate annually in the cultural fest held at the Department of Germanic & Romanian Studies. The students participate in various competitions, e.g. French poem recitation, singing, plays, and French cuisine.

History History- Key to the Past and a Gateway to the Future

At the college level, History teaching extends across a broad range of subjects and geographical areas. We also place an emphasis on critical attitude towards the study of History and its sources. History teaching and writing has also moved towards an interdisciplinary approach. Hence it involves close collaboration with other disciplines such as Sociology, Political Science, Economics and Literary Studies. The discipline of history opens up many possibilities for the students. Besides teaching and research, it is possible to utilize a programme in history for the purpose of joining administrative services. Students who have some background in fine arts can utilize their history by training for the field of cartography (map making) and atlas making. Mass media and tourism are the other fields which welcome students with background in history. Another interesting place for the students to work is the museum while archaeology also provides an interesting professional opportunity. Apart from the curricula the students are also involved in some extra-curricular activities which are organized by the History Society – Sanskriti:

In every semester, students will have hands-on practice on computers. They will visualize the various things, i.e. graphs of functions, solving differential equations and optimization of the problems. In this way, they will actually visualize the topics, which they have studied in theory. They will also see rotations and manipulations of the graphs with the cursor.
