Department of Political
Science (under School of
Social Sciences of Bankura
University) starts its journey on 5th September, 2014 along with other 10 departments at Puabagan Campus (from 21st January,
2016, our department runs from the
Main Campus, Purandarpur). At present,
the department offers
two courses, namely,
Master of Arts in Political Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science.
Our Post Graduate
syllabus has been prepared in such a way that it covers the
paramount areas of Political Science i.e. Political Theory and Thought, Public Administration,
International Relations, Comparative Politics, Indian Politics along with the course like Research Methodology. Our Post Graduate
students can opt for
any one special paper among
the four (namely, Political Theory and Thought, Indian State and Society, Public Administration and
International Relations). While preparing Under Graduate (for affiliated colleges
under Bankura University), Post Graduate and Ph. D course work syllabus, special emphasisation was given to
include local culture and history.
At present 10 Ph. D scholars are doing their research in our department. In collaboration with the
NET/ SET Coaching Centre, Bankura
University, our department provides such coaching
for interested aspirants.
Although the department is new but already in
collaboration with the Indian Council

Research (ICSSR); Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare, Govt. of
West Bengal; and Commission for Scientific & Technical Terminology, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD, Government of India), it has organised
several state, national
and international level
seminars/ conferences/ workshops/ webinar. During one of the workshops (Topic: Ageing, Disability and the Rural Elderly Populace in West Bengal) we have spent a day with the residents of a local ‘Care
Home’. It is an unforgettable moment from both of our ends. Furthermore, our department has organised a Colloquium on the theme “Diaspora: Collective Memories, Cultural Imagination and Concrete Realities” where students from various departments of Bankura University participated as paper presenters. Besides
these, special lectures

Professor Shibashis Chatterjee (Topics: ‘Post-Marxist Theory’
and ‘India in the Contemporary Multipolar World’),
Professor Syamal Kumar Ray (Topic: ‘Gandhi, Nehru and Subhas--- Ideas, Thought and their Reflection on Activities’), Dr Sibranjan Chatterjee (Topic: On Gandhi and Vivekananda) were arranged. Since January,
2021, we have launched our e-Journal named “Bankura
University Journal of Political Science”. We also have a seminar library
operating since September, 2019 for the benefit of our students
and research scholars.
Very recently, we signed an agreement with an eminent publisher to publish
an Edited Book on the basis of full papers received during our
International Webinar held during 27-29 July, 2020. When pandemic starts,our faculty members submitted audio-video
lectures to the ‘Bankura University Digi Resources’ website,
so that our students should not suffer at all.
