Human Values & Profession Ethics
Human Values & Profession Ethics
Prof. S. Nurul Hasan College is committed to integrating essential cross-cutting themes such as Professional Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment, and Sustainability into its curriculum in collaboration with the University of Kalyani. These themes play a vital role in shaping students’ perspectives, values, and behaviors, both personally and professionally.
Professional ethics are a cornerstone of the educational framework, particularly in programs emphasizing community ethics and environmental communication. Courses in disciplines like Political Science, Sociology, and History examine ethical considerations and gender issues, while Sociology and Education focus on human values, emphasizing ethics and peace education. Environmental sustainability is woven into courses such as Geography, which covers ecology and renewable energy, and all students are required to complete a mandatory Environmental Studies course to engage with sustainability challenges.
The National Service Scheme (NSS) promote community welfare and environmental awareness through initiatives like tree planting and the distribution of essential goods, fostering civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. To address these critical issues, the college organizes a week-long Value Orientation Course at the beginning of each academic session. This course allows new students to engage with resource persons on ethical topics and participate in discussions aimed at moral upliftment.
Professional ethics are emphasized across various subjects, with the Arabic department focusing on ethics as a core aspect of its curriculum. The Physical Education department and the Yoga center host workshops and training programs on Intellectual Property Rights to promote professional integrity. Gender concerns are addressed in courses across disciplines, including Political Science, English, Bengali, and History, covering topics such as Gender Rights, Social Issues, Domestic Violence, Feminism, Ecofeminism, Women’s Education, Inequality, and Women Empowerment.
The Internal Complaints Committee celebrates International Women’s Day with seminars, participatory activities, and discussions featuring prominent speakers on gender-related issues. The NSS also conducts awareness programs for local communities, focusing on personal hygiene, nutrition, and health.
Human values are integrated into various disciplines, with Political Science exploring social and political communication, social changes, and challenges. Language departments engage with themes of Humanism, ethical debates surrounding euthanasia and suicide, and social and political philosophy. Human Geography examines social processes and well-being. Special lectures and NSS activities, including flood relief and donations, further promote human values.
Environmental and sustainability issues are addressed through Political Science, Geography, and Economics. The curriculum includes Environmental Studies as an AECC paper, covering pollution, hazards, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and sustainable development. The college organizes seminars, online workshops, and webinars to celebrate World Environment Day and other relevant occasions, enhancing awareness of environmental issues.
Beyond the curriculum, the NSS conducts cleanliness drives, plantation initiatives, and awareness programs on water conservation and the dangers of plastic, reinforcing environmental consciousness among students. By collaborating with the University of Kalyani to enrich its curriculum with these vital themes, Prof. S. Nurul Hasan College equips students with a strong ethical foundation, gender sensitivity, human values, and environmental awareness, preparing them to address global challenges, advocate for social justice, and contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.
