About-
In the field of research I like short stories, fictions (Kathasahitya) and narratives. I had completed my Ph.D. degree in the field of narrative on 14 August 2014. My research subject for Ph.D. is: ‘Gram Parikkramamulak Bangla Gadya Akhyane Banglar Samaj Nirikshan (Nirbachita Grantha Abalambane)’. Various criticisms and research works on short stories and fictions are also going on. Besides, I am engaged with the literature of Bangladesh, especially with short stories, fictions and narratives.

Biography+
After completion of my Master Degree I have taught the UG and PG students in Sree Chaitanya College, Habra as a Full-time Contractual Lecturer from 07.01.2009 to 31.03.2010. Then I have joined Netaji Satabarshiki Mahavidyalaya, Ashoknagar as an Assistant Professor and worked from 01.04.2010 to 02.01.2013. Now I have been continuing my job at Presidency University as an Assistant Professor.
Research / Administrative Experience+
To choose the subject matter of my research I came across many ideas. But four-dimensional consciousness and Quantum Mechanics constantly rejects all our ideas. While the technology exceeds the frontier ever and ever to overcome the theory of electron and proton, why should we stick to the old and traditional fields? On the contrary, if the contemporary can be adjudged in the parlance of eternity, how would it be? If it is of the basic unit of society, the village life, then I thought it would be splendid!
Subject of my Ph.D. degree is: ‘Gram Parikkramamulak Bangla Gadya Akhyane Banglar Samaj Nirikshan (Nirbachita Grantha Abalambane)’. In this research work, special emphasis is given on the writings of Abdul Jabbar, Ansaruddin, Ashokkumar Kundu, Dinendrakumar Roy, Hasan Azizul Haque, Monajatuddin, Purnendu Patri, Raghab Bandopadhyay, Satyen Sen, Shantikumar Mitra, Subhas Mukhopadhyay, Sudhir Chakraborty, Tushar Kanjilal et al. The research is trying to find out various theories and information about social-atmosphere, and a brief and selected, lively and heart touching social panorama.
Still now no research has been made on the said topic, though each of the books on which the research is made, can be called a separate thesis. So, it is something new in choosing the subject of research. It is something like time-travel.
Teaching / Other Experience+
Generally, I like to teach Bengali short stories, fictions and narratives both of India and Bangladesh.
Post Graduate Supervision+
I am interested in supervising Postgraduate students in the field of Bengali short stories, fictions and narratives both of India and Bangladesh.
Two students have joined as Research Scholar for Ph.D. degree under my supervision in the Presidency University:
1) Swarup Halder: Working on novel.
2) Suman Samadder: Working on Satyajit Roy and his literature.
