The Bengali Department started with the inception of the college in 1955. Eminent litterateur and Principal of the college Dr. Suddhasattwa Bose was one of the pioneers who tried his best to enrich the department. Later, poet Dr. Palash Mitra, eminent critic and writer Dr. Pallab Sengupta , Vice Principal Nakshatra Kumar Roy Chowdhury , Parimal Dutta , Rekha Ghosh and Uma Chattopadhyay strengthened the department with their strong literary conceptions and ideas.
The prime objective of introducing the Honours Course, from the very beginning, was to provide opportunities to girls of poor and middle class families to improve their quality of life through education. The department is resolved in its commitment to continue the tradition, honouring strong literary value of the pioneers.
