About the Department

In consonance with the vision of the founding fathers of Dinabandhu Mahavidyalaya, to spread the light of knowledge, the department of Political Science has relentlessly been working towards achieving the same. In the same tone the department had adopted the motto of ‘Fiat Lux’ (Let there be light). The department strongly believes that knowledge is not merely academic but it envelopes the skill to navigate through the hurdles of everyday life. The department has sought to practise its mission with resoluteness and passion so that students churn out to be good citizens, and above all good human beings.

Presentation of papers by students on topics related to the course is encouraged so that students overcome their inhibition of public appearance. The students showcase their enthusiasm by regularly participating in presentation of departmental wall magazine, E-magazine, youth-parliament competition, quiz competition and other activities.

Poised in the dissemination of learning, the teachers themselves have enriched the teaching-learning process through their researches; though lack of resources and infrastructural bottlenecks do sometimes interfere with the process.
