About the School :
The School of Humanities is one of the newest entities at Netaji Subhas Open University, culled out of the erstwhile School of Humanities and Social Sciences on 5th June 2015 vide Memo No. Reg/1010 which is a follow through to clause 15.(1) of Netaji Subhas Open University 1st Statute (Revised) 2014.
The establishment of the School of Humanities (SOH) marks a reiteration of the commitment of Netaji Subhas Open University to underline the need of devising strategies for capacity building through Humanities. With this broad goal in mind, the SOH intends to pursue serious academic research and offer programmes to learners within the precincts of the Open and Distance Learning mode. With dynamic and vibrant faculty to moot, the vision of the School is to intensify outreach through ODL so as to inculcate an ambience of cultural-literary pursuits that has always been the forte of the state of West Bengal. The mission of SOH is to foster a community, cutting across institutional lines, that will disseminate the study of language and literatures in vernaculars and English, encourage trans-literary activities, become a centre for pan-India literary confluence and in due course of time evolve as a window to the wider world from this part of the country. In a nutshell, the endeavour of the SOH will be to rear itself in the true spirit of Open Learning.
Our hand-picked human resource is well augmented with a state of the art Interactive Learning Centre that serves as a hub in the creation of next generation multimedia materials, a full fledged Editing laboratory for training learners of Journalism and Mass Communication courses, infrastructure for smart classrooms and a well stocked library. The faculty of the SOH have engaged themselves in UGC-DEB sponsored projects and this keeps them in constant interactions with the wider academia. Our faculty are also invited for consultancy and special academic exchanges by institutions both in the ODL and regular modes.
As regards our regular way of functioning, while keeping up the trend of intensive Personal Contact Programmes (PCP’s) that is characteristic of NSOU, the new School eagerly awaits the resuming of Ph.D programmes in conformity with revised UGC rules. In the context of our existing courses both at Graduation and Post Graduation levels, we are on constant vigil in updating and revising syllabi, monitoring academic delivery, organising counselor workshops and learner interactions as also nurturing our learners with an individualised holistic approach.
