Also The related Art Department has taken the responsibility to create a skilled person who will be capable of making world class products. That will surely get good market in home and abroad.
The theoretical part of the subject also contains the history of art, detail study of different artists etc. To make this subject more effective, a multidisciplinary course has been chalked out which includes physical science, social science, environmental management, house planning with interior and exterior decoration, fashion designing, marketing etc.

Students having B. Sc. (Hons) and M. S. degree, first of all are expected to become a good human being, because Art is not only a subject that gives knowledge to produce some special products, but also, it refers and describe the manner in which any activity can be performed nicely. Also the students can use their knowledge and skill in different sectors, such as- designer, maker and merchandiser of clothing, jewellery, jute craft, wooden craft, pottery, interior decoration etc. furthermore those who are not engaged in any professional work, they can also use their knowledge and skill in producing different products for their family, friends and relatives.
