Literature is a mirror of life reflecting imaginative input and poetic view of life as its content. By facilitating learning of English language and literatures in English, our department focuses on transforming learners, so that they become empowered citizens endowed with skills for varied competencies and with values to outreach to build a humane society.

The multicultural ambience prevailing in the college campus provides enough space to explore into learning across disciplines with cross-cultural approaches, encouraging critical thinking and multidimensional worldviews.
