SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strength

The student’s enrolment and the annual pass percentage are the two main strengths of the department of Bengali, Ambedkar College, Fatikroy; besides, the good rapport between students and teachers and Remedial coaching classes for students on holidays are not less than a factor of strength which helps the department to achieve success and excellence in academic pursuit.

Weakness

Lack of permanent faculty as compare to the enrollment of students.

Opportunities

There are ample opportunities to organize Seminar, workshop etc. on Bengali Language and literature and the head of the institution and department have strong inclination to encourage such academic events

Challenges

The challenge for this department is to reduce the dropout rate of students between each year and to create job opportunities; besides, one of the major challenges is to prepare the students to be well qualified in regional language, i.e. Bengali.
