STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
&nbsp;
The Department of Political Science at Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya has a unique blend of strengths and challenges. While we take pride in our commitment to providing quality education in the realm of political science, certain areas need attention to further enhance our academic offerings.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Strengths</h3>
<ul>
<li>Personalized Attention: With only two faculty members in the department, the student-to-teacher ratio allows for more personalized attention. Students benefit from closer mentorship, deeper engagement in class discussions, and a supportive learning environment.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Experienced Faculty: Despite the limited number of faculty, the existing members are highly qualified and bring significant expertise and dedication to their roles. They are committed to fostering critical thinking, political awareness, and a comprehensive understanding of political systems among students.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Innovative Teaching Methods: The department has consistently embraced innovative teaching methods, incorporating case studies, debates, and seminars to engage students and make political science more relatable and practical.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Strong Academic Foundation: Our curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in political theory, comparative politics, international relations, and Indian government and politics, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their academic and professional pursuits.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Weaknesses</h3>
<ul>
<li>Limited Faculty: One of the most pressing challenges faced by the department is the limited number of faculty members. With only two professors, the department struggles to cater to the growing number of students and the expanding scope of the curriculum. This results in a heavier workload for faculty members, which can impact the overall quality of education.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Understaffed for NEP Curriculum: The implementation of India's National Education Policy (NEP) has introduced a more interdisciplinary approach to education, emphasizing research, internships, and holistic learning. To fully align with these new requirements, the department urgently needs additional faculty. Expanding the department would allow us to offer a broader range of courses, improve student-faculty interaction, and strengthen the overall academic experience.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Limited Research Opportunities: Due to the small size of the department, research activities are often constrained. With more faculty, we could foster a stronger research culture, encouraging students to participate in political science research, which is crucial for their academic development and career growth.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;Lack of Specialization Options: With a limited number of faculty members, offering diverse specialization areas within political science becomes difficult. Expanding the faculty would allow for more specialization options, catering to students&rsquo; varied interests and preparing them for diverse career paths.</li>
</ul>

MISSION AND VISION
&nbsp;
Mission
The Department of Political Science at Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya is dedicated to providing quality education in the field of political science, with a focus on nurturing critical thinking, civic responsibility, and an understanding of governance and public policy. Despite limited resources and faculty strength, the department strives to offer a comprehensive curriculum that fosters a deep understanding of political systems, political theory, and international relations, encouraging students to engage with contemporary political issues at both national and global levels.
&nbsp;
Vision
The department envisions becoming a dynamic and robust center for political science education that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute meaningfully to society. In line with India&rsquo;s National Education Policy (NEP), we are committed to expanding our faculty and resources to enhance academic offerings. Our goal is to introduce honors courses in political science, thus providing students with a more specialized and in-depth study of the subject. With increased faculty strength, the department aims to support a more diversified and interdisciplinary curriculum that meets the evolving needs of our students and the academic community.
&nbsp;
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Current Challenges</h1>
The department currently operates with only two faculty members, limiting its capacity to meet the growing demands of the NEP curriculum. The absence of an honors course further constrains our ability to offer specialized knowledge to students. We are in urgent need of additional faculty to ensure the department can fulfill its mission and vision, while also aligning with the NEP's emphasis on multidisciplinary learning and research excellence.
