Established in 2006, the Department of Education is an NCTE-accredited body running a B.Ed. Course.
On October 9, 2024, the Department of Education, Patna Women's College Autonomous celebrated the festival of Dussehra with great enthusiasm. The event, filled with cultural performances and thoughtful presentations, was anchored by Ayushi Singh, Khushi Rani, and Prathibha Kumari.
The celebration commenced with a powerful recitation of the vandana "Jay Jay Bhairavi Vandana," written by Vidyapati, and performed by Umang and her group. The theme of Satyatsya Shakti—the unity of truth and power—was highlighted by Misa, who elaborated on how the combination of Shakti (power) and Satya (truth) is essential for progress. The significance of Goddess Durga's eight hands, symbolizing different forms of power and virtues, was also highlighted.
The cultural performances were vibrant and diverse, showcasing traditional dance forms. Yashashvi Suman and her group performed Jhijhiya, a traditional Maithili dance, while Priyanka Hansda and her group captivated the audience with a Dhunuchi dance, set to the rhythmic beats of the "dhak" drum. Rinni Kumari and her group added to the festive spirit with a lively Garba and Dandiya performance to the song "Dholida."
Dr. Prabhas Ranjan, Assistant Professor, addressed the gathering, delving into the philosophical concept of Advaitvad (non-dualism). He emphasized that truth is the ultimate expression in Indian philosophy, and there is only one primordial truth or soul. He further explained that festivals like Dussehra offer a break from daily mental engagement, providing an opportunity to connect with a higher domain of consciousness and reflect on Shakti and Satya's deeper significance.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Kalyani Kumari.
