compulsory for all bachelor degree students.The classes of this subject is very much
practical problem-solution oriented.The students become more aware about the
impact of their small acts. There are no Honours or General courses in this
department, only compulsory paper. But some students have been motivated so
much by the subject that they have chosen it as the subject of their higher studies.
