As an educational institution it is our persistent endeavour to make our students self-reliant for a bright future ahead. The development of their innate skills plays a vital role in this regard and is prioritized as one of the best practices of the institution. We have started some courses and workshops where interested students can register for free and sharpen their skills. The Add-On Courses on Communicative English, Nepali Lekhan Shaili, Art of Review have been started to enhance the communication skills in English and groom the budding writers in Nepali and Hindi. The Abbritti Shikshon Kormoshala, a workshop on recitation skills in Bengali is conducted for interested students. Since 2020-2021 session we are observing Students’ Week, annually when we test our students’ skills, mental as well as physical agility, creative aptitude, through various competitions: song, dance, recitation, extempore, storytelling, quiz, painting, photography, instrumental and the like. Intra college football, volleyball, badminton competitions are also held on our playground during this week. We have hosted the District Level Youth Parliament Competition under the Department of Parliamentary Affairs, Government of West Bengal, on our college campus on November 9, 2019, where we secured the second position and won the Best Speaker award. Our students have surprised us with their spontaneous deliberation in a debate competition on Make in India – Skill India: Opportunities to the Next Generation, organized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, All India Radio Siliguri to commemorate 75 years of Indian Independence on December 23, 2021. We have signed MOU with other organisations like Rice Education, The George Telegraph Training Institute, Frank Finn: Institute of Airhostess Training, Skill Hut, Brain Development Computer Academy to enhance the skills of our students and open different avenues of employment for them. As an undergraduate, general degree college, we do not have scope of campus placement unlike the technological institutions. Nonetheless, in our own way we strive to sensitize our students about different job opportunities. During the pandemic times, the Zoology department conducted a webinar on ‘Employability Prospects in Bioscience.’ Our institution has a career Counselling Cell which fosters students’ interaction with successful professionals from different walks of life. On 19/1/21 Sri Sujit Lama from Matiali Police Station conducted an interactive session with our students where he enlightened them on the different steps towards enrolling into police force. NCC unit in collaboration with Career Counselling and Placement Cell organized a programme to inform the students about the different steps to enter Indian Army. On April 7, 2022 we joined hands with Pratham Education Foundation to arrange an awareness programme on skill development. A gentleman from the organization conducted an interactive session with the students where he acquainted them with various vocational training directed towards self-employment that are available to the students at a nominal fee. We still have a long way to go. Several plans are yet to be materialized. Language lab is one of the foremost of them that we are working to arrange from next year.
