35. Conclusion-

Though we have limited faculty members and heavy work-load but we are trying our level best to serve the department in particular and the college in general. We are devoted not only to the classroom teaching but also to the society related activities like worm rearing, women literacy mission etc. for the upliftment of the society. If we get sufficient staff, brilliant students at entry level and the others facilities in the department; certainly this department will be one of the best departments in the college. We believe that if the environment and situation is favourable for able leadership it makes a history. So, we are working for a friendly environment with a favourable situation to make better history of our department in near future. However, we have the opportunities of academic pursuit of the department; we are planning to work for popularizing the subject (History) at School and College level locally.
