What do we want from the study of Bengali Language & Literature? First of all, we want to understand the different methods of reading literature. But this is not the only requirement. We also want to pay something back to the discipline. We want to inspire future researchers to help us appreciate Bengali literature from a novel viewpoint.

Besides this global outlook, we want to investigate local culture extensively. The Department would like to inspire the students with East-Midnapur's own dialect, various folk elements and the coastal areas’ own culture. In this way, the local culture will be linked with the global.
