Department of English of Shri Shiv Chhatrapati College of Arts, Commerce and Science is one of the renowned departments in the Savitribai Phule Pune University. The members of the department have always been putting the heads together to transcend mediocrity to excellence.
Functional English course at degree level has been run by the department of English quite successfully for last 15 years which enables students of the rural area to acquaint well with the four skills of English; listening, speaking, reading and writing. The students who get BA degree through this course can keep their foot on the port of education, business, law and Mass Media. They can face many global challenges in every possible way.
We don’t treat students as an empty vessel of plastic material  according to the will and wish of the teachers. They are not allowed to sit in the classroom in a row as swarms of flies and listen to what the teachers speak and write what they dictate. We give them platform to open their lips boldly. They are the real pillars of the nation who can lead their country towards the path of scientific attitude and an honest soldier to sacrifice himself for the sake of his motherland.
The total built up area of the department is 20 Sq. mt. with separate cabin for the head and members of the staff.
