Social and Cultural Practices

Cultural Activities:

Mankar College believes in the all-around growth of the students. Bookish education can not provide that. For better development of the mind and soul, a student must be encouraged to indulge in cultural activities regularly. Keeping that in mind Mankar College keeps cultural activities as a part of its regular activities.

• Every year we celebrate the Annual Cultural Fest – LAHARI. It is a two-day program. On the first day, students of our college perform on stage. The second day is reserved for eminent Guest Performers.
• During LAHARI the awards for the annual cultural competition are given to encourage them more and more for participating in such activities.
• Also, cultural programs are organised to celebrate Rabindra-Najrul Jayanti, Kabi Prayan (22nd Shraban) International Mother Language Day, Teachers’ Day etc.
• Tagore has always given impetus to the cultural development of the students. Mankar College, a devout believer in Tagore’s philosophy continues to give impetus to projects that would make the students aware of culture and Nationalism. On 19th November 2022, Baul Samrat Padmashree Purna Chandra Das blessed the college with his footfall to conduct a workshop with the students on Baul Song and Philosophy, , conducted in collaboration with Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira (Autonomous), Belur Math, Howrah.

 Social Activities:

Mankar College is located adjacent to the Jungle Mahal of the former Maharaja of Bardhaman. It caters to the demand of a large number of people belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The proof is the demography of the villages in the vicinity of the college. Demographic diversity can be found in the villages around the college. A large number of populations belong to SC, ST and Minority communities and many are financially backward. Depending on these, the college pertains to its social responsibilities.

• The college encourages students from these backward areas to enlighten themselves with the blessings of education and shine in life. Even there is a facility to study under Netaji Open University on our campus, which allows them to continue their education while managing their employment simultaneously.
• Ours is an institution which is only thirty-two years old and it attracts many first-generation learners. But even within these few years, it has acquired such a reputation that it even attracts students from the nearby Urban areas like Bardhaman and Durgapur.
• Mankar College is known for its discipline-friendly atmosphere. The staff and faculties are always advised to maintain the decorum prescribed in the model code of conduct.
• It is also reputed as a student-friendly college keeping an ambience of gender equity and women's safety. Our Sexual Harassment Cell and Vishakha Committee confirm the question of women's safety within the campus.
• The college also takes part in plantation programs.
• Blood -Donation camp is organised by the college every year under NSS & NCC.
• The college organises “Samabyathi”, a project under which the poor population of the locality are given used as well as new dresses.
