Farewell Programme for Dr. Sumita Banerjee

On January 30, 2025, Loreto College bid farewell to Dr. Sumita Banerjee, Associate Professor and former Head, Department of English, who retired after 32 years of dedicated service to the college. A prayer service was organised, after which she was felicitated by the Teacher-in-Charge, Sr. Dr. A. Nirmala. The students of M.A. First Year showcased their talents by presenting central scenes from Shakespeare's Othello. Thereafter, Dr. Banerjee joined the faculty and former teachers for a farewell lunch.

The English departmental farewell for Dr. Banerjee was held on February 1, 2025 and was attended by several former pupils as well as current students. The undergraduate and postgraduate students joined together to present characters from various plays taught by Dr. Banerjee over the years. This was followed by fond reminiscences of former pupils. A magical backdrop of a forest was painstakingly recreated by the current students in keeping with Dr. Banerjees’s ecological interests. The event concluded with high tea on the lawns of Loreto College.
