  • Departmental library with sufficient number of books
  • Supporting weaker student with study materials and financial help

  • Poor Communication Skill (both Verbal & Non – Verbal)
  • Limited Job opportunity
  • Detoriating student strength

3. Opportunities

  • There is no degree college in three mouzas viz., Hatichong, Silpukhuri  and hence, it may be  a great opportunity to attract the students by offering need base courses
  • To train and counsel students to become more employable

4. Challenges

  • To make economics as an interesting/ potential subject among the rural local students
  • More drop out due early marriage and poor economic background
  • Attracting qualitative students because there are 4 degree colleges in the district headquarter
