The Department of Teachers’ Training started its journey in 1966 under the affiliation to University of Calcutta as Teachers’ Training Section to provide trained-teachers in then society at Prabhat Kumar College, Contai which is one of the oldest colleges in Purba Medinipur District even then undivided Medinipur, West Bengal and it is successfully running till date.

Teaching is a noble Profession where the teachers play a pivotal role in the tripolar education system which revolves around the students, the teachers and curriculum. Our department produces every year about 100 Trainee-Teachers who would be the architects of the nation building.

The department always provides quality education and adequate knowledge about approaches, methods, techniques, psychological principles and theories which are very important part of Teaching-Learning process for the trainee-teachers who can get two years to adapt these teaching qualities through simulated teaching practice, school internship programme, field visits and fulfillment of the practicums to become sound teachers.

The department promotes and spreads such kind of education that not only offers knowledge but also arranges student-teachers’ aesthetic sense, leading to the development of a society founded on love, mutual respect and understanding.

Seminars, conferences, webinars, workshops, special lectures, talks, extension services and activities are arranged time to time in the department under the supervision of the our faculty members on the present-need-based topics and areas to boost and motivate the teacher-trainees.

In a nutshell I wish to recall Greek great philosopher and intellectual personality, Aristotle who stated “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”.
