Currently Dr. Safiullah Ansari is Head of the Department and Dr. S.C. Gupta and Dr. Sandhya Sinha are working as Assistant Professor.

Year 2010 was a Golden Year when keeping in mind the smooth and exemplary working and vision of the Department, Kolhan University offered the course of Honors in Hindi to Karim City College. The College accepted this responsibility, and from the year 2010, Hindi Honors course has been offered along with all previous courses successfully. The Dept. has instituted general courses for Graduation level students. In the year 2017, CBCS pattern of syllabus was introduced and the Department is involved in conducting this new syllabus with technological aids of teaching. Currently, 1st and 2nd semesters of CBCS are ongoing in which courses like Hindi Hons, MIL, SEC, DSC, GE are being offered for the Honours and programme course students. (Syllabus enclosed)

Along with these, the second year of the earlier pattern is also ongoing in which Hindi Hons, Hindi subsidiary, and Hindi MIL are compulsory for all three streams, as well as for non-Hindi students in science, arts and commerce. Hindi is also an optional paper for all students.
Alongside all the aforementioned courses, the Department has occasionally organized extra and co-curricular activities to nurture literary interest, literary skills, and reading-writing habits of standard and utility-based literatures. Essay and debate competitions, kavi-goshthi, katha-vachan, and guest lectures are the main activities in this regard. It is a matter of pride for the College that many alumni are contributing literary works on state, national and even international platforms.

Every year the Department produces a good number of Hindi Honors graduates who keep the Karim City College name flying high.
