The weekly Teachers’ Seminar organized by the department every Wednesday from 4.30 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. with a two-fold objective: first, maximum utilization of the resources of the university without the requirement of any additional funds/grants; second, giving maximum possible exposure to our undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. (including prospective Ph.D.) students to interdisciplinary research aligning with the key mission of the National Educational Policy (NEP).

Faculty members from across the departments of Visva-Bharati deliver lectures and interact with our students. In the last academic year, our students listened to esteemed scholars/professors from Physics, Chemistry, Statistics, Zoology, Modern History, Archaeology, Mathematics, Women’s Studies, Art History, Journalism & Mass Communication, Economics & Politics, Education, Anthropology, Bengali, English, Marathi, Hindi, Ancient Indian History, and Philosophy.

Faculty members from the Centre for Comparative Literature and Centre for Women’s Studies chaired the academic sessions;
