About Madhurima Dasgupta
I am Ms Madhurima Dasgupta, Assistant Professor of Department of Sociology from

12 National and International conferences/seminar and workshop. Some of the notable ones
are:

As a student, I also acquired 1 st Position in B.A. (Hons; Sociology) and Philosophy and
Education part-II, at Rani Birla Girls’ College in 2009 along with 1 st Position in B.A. (Hons;
Sociology) part-III at Rani Birla Girls’ College in 2010.
As a teacher, I ensure teaching learning pedagogy not only through ‘chalk and talk’ concept
but beyond that which involves regular field visits, showing films and documentaries to
students so that students can develop sociological insight and get practical exposure to
existing social reality. The relationship between me as teacher and my students is based on
mentor-mentee relation where my students report me about any problem that they face in the
University or in their personal lives.
My hobbies include drawing, digital painting, reading Indian story books, cooking Bengali
cuisines, singing and even dancing. I am a trained Bharat Natyam and Creative dancer who
have participated in cultural programs of one’s school and colleges and also in the University
where I am presently employed. Though I am on the verge of achieving my ambition after the
completion of PhD, yet I aspire to be a good Human Being by helping people irrespective of
their caste, class, sex, creed, religion, and ethnicity. Moreover, I believe in serving Humanity
since the task of Sociology is to study society free from the value orientations of individuals.
