Preface

Government Arts College, Karur, is a pioneer institution and the institution is located in a

semi-urban area, making quality higher education accessible to the rural masses of the

Karur District. The college was established in 1966 at Thanthonimalai, near Kalyana

Vengataraman temple on Dindigul main road, just two kilometers South of Karur with a

view to uplift the educational standard of the rural masses.

In the beginning the college was started as the men`s college with pre-university courses

under the affiliation of Madras University. In the forthcoming academic years some

Under Graduate Courses as History, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Geography

were started both in Tamil and English mediums. The college achieved its most

significant contribution in the development of society and nation by offering higher

education to women also in the academic year 1972-1973 as the college was converted

from men`s college into a co-educational institution. This conversion has brought about a

lot of social changes in the region by making the traditional, home-bound women into

socially important and elevated personalities by imparting them a good education.

As a result many women students got employment in many Governmental and non

Governmental organizations. The college has a remarkable feat etched in its chronicle by

being the first institution in the district to introduce a Post Graduate programme in the

department of Botany in 1978-1979. The academic activity of the institution progressed

in leaps and bounds with addition of a series of U.G. Courses as B.A. English (1979),

B.Sc. Zoology (1980), B.Com. (1982), B.A. Economics (2005) and B.Com (CA) in 2010

and P.G. Courses as M.Sc. Mathematics (1981), M.Com (2000), M..A. English and

History (2003), M.Sc. Zoology and Computer Science (2004), M.Sc. Physics (2005),

M.Sc. Geography (2010), M.Sc. Chemistry (2011) and M.A. Economics (2011). The

college made a strong impact on the lives of rural students by introducing Computer

Science at the Under Graduate Level, which was the first of its kind in a Government run

Colleges in Tamil Nadu. As a milestone in the success history of the college, research



programmes like M.Phil and Ph.D were introduced in various Arts, Science and

Commerce departments. These courses are offered both in part time and full time basis.

Thus now the college provides 15 Under Graduate programmes in shift I, 2 Under

Graduate programmes in shift II, 12 Post Graduate programmes, 9 M.Phil programmes

and 10 Ph.D. programmes in part time and full time basis.

The College which was originally affiliated to Madras University came under the

jurisdiction of Bharathidasan University, Trichirappalli, since 1982. It is now appreciated

as one of the best Government Arts Colleges in Tamilnadu by providing a good success

rate of the students, effective co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

The development of the college is being witnessed by multi-dimensional activities carried

out in the campus which are very useful in the settlement of the students at the earliest

convenience. When compared to the initial stage, many Classrooms, Laboratories,

Parking slots, Library, Auditorium and other basic amenities were developed. The

college maintains a remarkable record of placement which increases the confidence level

of the students. Research activities are effectively carried out by organizing conferences,

seminars, workshops, symposia, major and minor projects by the staff and the students,

publications of books and articles in journals and participating various international,

national and state level research forums. Computer Literacy Programme was introduced

by Government of Tamilnadu in order to help the Non-Computer students by providing

adequate training and certificate.

The institution reached a milestone by the Autonomy Status granted by UGC in 2008.

The college was granted three star status (2000) and subsequently rated with B + grade

status (2006) by NAAC. From 2007 onwards the curriculum design and model adopted

by the college follows Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and semester pattern. This

CBCS pattern enables the students to enlighten themselves in different fields by choosing

the options in the elective courses of their own interest. The academic reputation has

already been established by the grant of autonomy and the status of accreditation is an



offshoot of academic excellence. Autonomy has provided the academic freedom required

to design innovative curricula and use of multimedia and modern methods of teaching

and evaluation. In other words, it had given a new dimension to the institution; a new

mind-set to the faculties and a new hope to the student community

Executive Summary

Government Arts College, Karur, is a pioneer institution and the institution is located in a

semi-urban area, making quality higher education accessible to the rural masses of the

Karur District. It is conferred with Autonomous status in 2007. It continues its journey of

academic excellence in imparting Quality Higher Education by responding to academic

and administrative challenges. In preparation for its cycle III of accreditation, the college

made the self study report evaluating quality in terms of sustenance and enhancement and

the continuous improvement of the college in the past five years, based on the seven

criteria highlighting the key aspects under each criterion.

1. Curricular Aspects

The 7 years of successful autonomy gives Government Arts College further scope and

energy for continued dynamism in higher education curricula. The curriculum is

constantly updated and every new academic programme is strategically planned. The

exposure of faculty in recent advances and feedback from students, alumnae and

academic experts give the right impetus and direction for necessary changes in the

curriculum. Participation of stake holders in the Boards of studies and the Academic

Council is a distinctive feature of Government Arts College. Industrial experts in the

academic bodies contribute to the quality of the existing curriculum; facilitate the

initiation of novel programmes and collaborative projects. Introduction of new courses

and modification in existing ones with appropriate title change resulted in a phenomenal

increase in admission in many departments. The soft skill training and placement training

at the final year of UG enhances the employability of students.



The college is exploring the possibility of credit accumulation to earn the degree at one’s

own pace incorporating flexi timing with flexi learning under CBCS, realizing the need

for accommodating the slow learners with the high achievers in the academic

programmes.

2. Teaching-Learning and Evaluation

Realizing the significance of institutional accountability in the teaching learning and

evaluation process, the college implements adequate in-built mechanisms and adopts new

mechanisms in achieving the goals of academic autonomy. The students admitted to

Government Arts College are from a heterogeneous background and over the past few

years there has been a considerable increase in the number of SC/ST and OBC students

as well as in the enrolment of students in Basic Sciences. The review of admission

process in the recent past has paved the way for the enhancement of seats in some of the

degree courses like BA English.

The entry of freshers into the college is made comfortable with adequate orientation. A

special bridge course is taught by faculty to those who struggle with proficiency in

English. A felt challenge regarding the input is the broad spectrum of academic caliber to

which the college is making efforts to respond by providing individualized teaching

learning programmes.

ICT facility is extensively used for Teaching-learning and evaluation by using ICT

enabled class rooms and the multimedia facility. All department staff rooms have Wi-Fi

internet facility. The faculty members are constantly being recharged in their own

discipline and on general professional competence through training programmes both

inside and outside the college. The library and laboratory are well equipped for enhanced

teaching and learning are the major learning resources. In addition to the general library

all departments have departmental libraries.



3. Research, Consultancy and Extension

Since teaching, research and extension are the three major dimensions of higher

education, the college promotes a research culture among faculty and students. Currently

the departments of English, History, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,

Botany and Zoology are recognized as Research Centres and other departments are

making efforts towards this. The number of publications in various national and

international journals has been increasing year after year. Interdisciplinary research on

issues related to Environment is encouraged to address the global concern on

environment. Faculty members from Botany and Zoology have attracted research funds

from funding agencies for their proposals. The college has organized conferences and

seminars. These conference and seminars have paved the way for our faculty and

research scholars to have interaction with many National scholar and scientists.

At present five major and two minor research projects are going on, 71 research papers

have been published in journals. Further to promote research culture on campus, the

College Research Council is planning to organize workshops on “Writing Research

Proposals‟. The faculty members at GACK must multitask to be able to manage the

different responsibilities simultaneously, hence programmes on time management is

planned to enable many faculty members to balance teaching with research more

efficiently.

The Extension programmes namely NSS, NCC, YRC, RRC, Rotaract, Leo Club etc

offers a wide variety of programmes for students. The NSS and NCC have rigorous

requirements for completion and students earn higher credits on completion of these.

Every year a few of the NCC cadets are recognised nationally for participating in the

National parade. To strengthen the support services with regard to placement for students,

the Placement Centre is striving hard by offering career fair and strengthening industry

Academic interface.



4. Infrastructure and Learning Resources

Augmenting infrastructural facilities as a catalyst for Academic Excellence has always

been one among the significant concerns of the institution. The whole campus is

equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity. The computing centre is used extensively for

academic and administrative purposes. Grievance Redressal Cell enables quick redressal

of the complaints related to various issues of the students. The air conditioned

Multimedia Smart Class with LCD projectors and interactive boards provides the right

ambiance for the effective conduct of academic programmes. The General Library, the

nerve centre of learning at college has an open access system. The college has special

laboratories such as Botany lab, Chemistry lab, Physics lab, Networking Lab, Tissue

Culture lab, Optics Lab, Psychology Lab, Language Lab, and computer labs which are

used extensively for Teaching, Learning and Research. There is an auditorium that is

used as multipurpose hall for the conduct of cultural programmes, examination, for

organizing conferences, seminars, scientific meetings, parent teacher meetings and for

other college functions. There is a health centre in the campus with a part time nursing

assistant. CCTV Cameras are fixed at various places on the college to ensure the security.

5. Student Support Services

The heterogeneous nature of the students input necessitates the institution to provide

excellent student support services in varied forms to facilitate the transformation among

the students as visualized in the mission of the college. One senior most professor acts as

the Co-ordinator of all student support activities. The class representatives act as a link

between the students and the management. The economically needy students are

encouraged by the award of scholarships from the Government of Tamilnadu. The

students are given special coaching for UGC NET/SET and entry services Exams. The

college is disabled friendly in terms of the curriculum, infrastructure and support

services. The departments adopt the teaching learning and evaluation strategies of their

PG programme with the objective of equipping the students to successfully face

competitive exams like UGC-CSIR-NET. The departments encourage students to



participate in state, national and international level of curricular and cocurricular

programmes. The Health Centre of the college has a visiting Doctor who comes

frequently. The canteen with a variety of food and additional attractions for relaxation.

The College has a very strong track record in sports. Sports students are given flexibility

in attendance and evaluation. Deserving sports students are given merit scholarships.

Student grievance redressal mechanism is implemented at the departments and at the

college level. The college has a non-registered alumnae association. A student Co-

operative store and a photocopying facility on campus. Though an annual alumnae meet

and initiation of fresh alumnae chapters indicate a dynamic relationship with alumnae

still departments need to adopt fresh mechanisms to strengthen the rapport with their

alumnae, who are a potential resource for the growth of the college. The transformational

change experienced by the students from their entry level to the exit level stands as a

proof of the excellent student support system offered by the college.

6. Governance, Leadership and Management

The college has a rich tradition of visionary and transformational leadership which has

driven the institution towards the phenomenal growth and development that it

experiences today. The Leadership given by enlightened members of the Governing

Council, Finance Committee and the officers of the college facilitate in sustaining and

reflecting the vision and mission of the college through every activity of the Institution.

The officers of the college work closely with the other members of the administrative

team namely the IQAC coordinator, Controller of Examination, Co-ordinator of

Extension Programmes, Heads of various Departments and the Co-ordinators of various

committees to offer collective leadership in all dimensions of organizational

management. The organizational structure operates with top down and bottom up

approach. Decisions pertaining to academic matters are finalized in a participatory

manner at the Governing Council, which comprises of the Heads of Department.

Dissemination of information for smooth and effective functioning is facilitated through

the existing mechanism of office automation. The quantitative growth in the structure and

processes of the institution demands a faster and authentic mechanism for data



management and hence, the college is planning to bring in paperless governance

(e -governance) in the near futures.

Continuous improvement is monitored through implementation of the annual plan of the

department. The college has an established mechanism to monitor efficient and effective

use of finances. The Internal Quality Assurance is managed by IQAC. Quality sustenance

of the college is assessed based on the eight measurable objectives embodied in the

Quality Policy. The management provides an ample array of welfare schemes for

teachers. Sustenance of the organizational culture is done through constant rejuvenation

programmes. Faculty recruitment is done by Teachers Recruitment Board, a

Governmental Institution and the fresh recruits are given an intense orientation to become

aware of the core values and ethos of the collegiate education. However, the college is

expediting avenues for faculty enrichment measures which reaches the intellectual,

emotional and motivational dimensions. The perspective plan is drawn as short-term and

long term goals in the different functions of the college such as teaching and learning,

Research and development, Industry Interaction, Community engagement, Human

Resource Planning and Development, Internationalization and Infrastructure. To

implement these plans in a meaningful manner, adequate measures will be taken to

mobilize resources. Participatory leadership and team work culture which reflects the

core values and ethos of the institution enable the college community to internalize these

and in turn creates institutional loyalty and the willingness to walk an extra mile.

7. Innovations and Best Practices

Government Arts College adopts innovative practices in academic and administrative

matters and is open for adapting to emerging trends in Higher education and is willing to

be vulnerable for this cause. The college responds to eco concerns with its eco friendly

initiatives. The UG Curriculum is restructured to evolve an Integrated Curricular model

to facilitate better academic progression through the incorporation of academic

programmes of various kinds at different levels. The recent innovation in promoting

research culture is by encouraging the Interdisciplinary research. Other support services



are also provided. The college recognises the students and encourages them to apply for

minor research projects with the financial assistance of funding agencies. As an initiative

towards Nation Building, instilling better civic sense among the students is perceived as

an area of priority.

The best innovative practices which contribute towards quality sustenance and

enhancement of the academic process over a period of time are: Eeffective creation and

maintenance of question bank for practical examination and Inter-discipinary approach in

research for extension. The institution with a vision to become an institution with a

difference in the country is willing to attempt any pioneering effort in its onward journey

towards academic excellence. In the present context of 21st century challenges in Indian

Higher Education, the college aspires to strike a balance of inclusiveness with quality

enhancement. The enormous opportunities available in utilizing the technology for

administrative and academic programmes will be harnessed in the days to come. The

young men and women who leave the portals of this institution will be people who are

rooted in the core values and ethos which uphold the noble traditions of the nation, yet

willing to open their minds to new vistas of knowledge to become the agents of social

transformation.

2. CRITERIA-WISE INPUTS

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Design and Development

1.1.1 Vision and Mission Reflection

Goal

Enlightening the unprivileged through Education

Vision

It is our vision to persuade every mind in this temple of learning to

tirelessly seek the truth to face the challenges of the times and honestly

participate in the establishment of universal peace, progress and love

Mission

It is our mission to create in everyone an honest searching mind to be

ready for value-based creative citizenship for regional, national and

global peace and progress

The learning processes and experiences are geared to liberate, transform and enlighten

the learner. The college is growing in terms of the content and variety of the curriculum

offered at the undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG) and research levels. Its

meticulously planned curriculum has attracted widespread demand. Although a dynamic

curriculum is the predominant feature of the autonomous status of the college, the quality

of the education imparted to students is monitored. Any change in the curriculum is

scrutinised at both departmental and institutional levels prior to implementation. These

monitoring bodies are formed both with internal and external experts. Each department

constitutes its own Board of Studies for initiating curricular reform. The Board is formed

by an external quorum of subject experts, field experts (industrialists), all faculty



members of the department and alumnae. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

functions at the institutional level primarily with internal and external expertise whereas

the Academic Council is the passing body of curricular reform comprising of a

compulsory quorum of external experts along with internal experts in various disciplines.

The college curriculum is designed to develop higher order cognitive skills such as

analysis, problem-solving, evaluation and synthesis. The mandatory curriculum for the

undergraduate courses is divided into five parts.

Part I offers Tamil language. Part II offers English language. Part III comprises of all

major, allied and major optional courses and project work/internship/training. The

curriculum framed by the various departments is holistic. The major subjects of each

discipline are buttressed by relevant allied, major optional and elective courses of the

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) that help the learners master their major discipline

and at the same develop an appreciation for interdisciplinary studies. The CBCS also

ensures that students choose their own basket of courses according to their aptitude, their

preferred choice of career or higher studies and research after graduation. Cognitive skills

of analysis culminating in synthesis are developed and strengthened by doing projects,

facilitating progression to postgraduate and interdisciplinary studies. Part IV of the

curriculum includes all non-major courses such as Environmental Studies, Electives,

Value Education, Women’s Studies and Elective courses enable students to have a

broad-based learning of other disciplines.

The Value-Based courses offered to all undergraduate students from semesters I to V

and to postgraduate students in semesters I and II inculcate personal and group values

needed for life, career and societal responsibilities.

Extension Programmes and activities of the Institution like National Service Scheme

(NSS), National Cadet Corps (NCC), Youth Red Cross (YRC), Rotaract, Leo Club,

etc. are offered as a mandatory component for the award of the undergraduate degree.



1.1.2 Mechanisms in Design and Development of Curriculum

Exposure to new areas of higher education is obtained by the faculty while attending

Seminars, Conferences and Workshops inside and outside the college and through

Orientation and Refresher courses. The new areas are periodically discussed for the

framing and teaching of existing new courses at the departmental level. Feedback from

students, alumnae, academic peers and others are received regularly. They are analysed

and initiatives are taken for the development process. Necessary changes are made in the

existing programmes / courses by the departments. The newly designed programmes /

courses are presented to Board of Studies. This dynamic and multifaceted process helps

the departments to develop meaningful curricula which are relevant in the context of

higher education and societal needs.

1.1.3 Involvement of Industry, Research Bodies and Civil Society

Stakeholders from Industry, Research bodies and civil society are made to involve in the

curriculum development process in a unique manner. Each department constitutes a

Board of Studies following the given UGC norms. This Board includes experts from

Industry and Research Bodies as Special Invitees, Members of the civil society are also

invited to be a part of the Board of Studies. The Academic Council includes experts from

the service sectors (schools and hospitals), small and medium scale industry, civil

society, research bodies and the affiliating University, to give valuable suggestions.

1.1.4 Aspects of Curriculum Design and Development

Employability

Under graduate programmes are designed with a view to enhance the employability to the

students. Post graduate programmes are redesigned to cater to the demand of clearing

higher level competitive examination like UGC-NET, UGC-CSIR-NET, etc. The

curriculum of traditional courses has been redesigned / modified to enhance the

employability of students.



Innovation

The autonomous status of the college allows for academic freedom to bring about

innovations in the CBCS. Even though Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education’s

norms is followed, the introduction of flexibility with vertical and horizontal mobility

provides greater opportunities for students.

Research

At the postgraduate level, project work is mandatory. Mini projects are taken up by PG

students and research scholars. College Research Council promotes the research activity

among the students by conducting various seminars, workshops and other related

activities. Faculties are encouraged to participate seminars, present their papers. They are

also supported for their publications.

1.1.5 Curriculum Development and relevance

Components of the curricular programmes and significant elements of the overall

curriculum is planned and prepared with a view to sensitise and involve the minds of the

learner in local, regional, national and global needs and issues.

1.1.6 Adherence to the Guidelines of the Regulatory Bodies

Development and restructuring of curricula always fall within the guidelines of the

University Grants Commission and the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education.

An academic challenge is to learn beyond classrooms through community service.

Lateral and Vertical Mobility

The CBCS provides scope for lateral and vertical mobility within and across programmes

and courses. The students at both PG and UG levels in both sciences and humanities have the

flexibility in choosing the elective courses offered by other departments, which provides

ample room for lateral mobility. This offers students with an opportunity to be exposed to

and learn academic contents entirely different from their major field of study. Vertical

mobility that is visualised within the CBCS programme is materialized by offering a pool of

elective courses by all the departments for the II and III Undergraduate students which could

be chosen by them without restriction of their year of study. Exposure to curriculum in

related fields is provided through Major Optional courses offered by departments which

could be chosen by students of the related departments, that is Science courses for Science

students and humanities courses for humanities students.

courses is followed to ensure the rigour of the internal assessment process. Continuous

Internal Assessment of students is done through assignments, tests, seminars and

laboratory work and projects in strict adherence to the deadlines as per the work plan.

Seminars are compulsory components of PG.

2.5.5 Adherence to Examination Schedule

The College adheres very strictly to the declared examination schedules unless there is an

emergency due to unforeseen holidays declared by the government and under such

circumstances examinations are rescheduled.

2.5.6 Declaration and Publication of Examination results

The average time taken by the College for declaration of examination results is 10 – 15

days. After the examination period, the passing board needs to scrutinise the results and

the examination results are published on the college website and are also displayed on the

notice boards in the Control of Examination Office.



2.5.7 Pre Examination process – Examination process – Post Examination process

The office of the Controller of Examinations (COE) is in-charge of the entire

examination process. Pre-examination processes as Time table generation, OMR, student

list generation, invigilators, squads, attendance sheet, etc. are prepared by COE office.

The examination material management and logistics are carried out by the COE with the

supervision of the Chief Superintendent. The post examination process as attendance

capture, OMR based exam result; auto processing, generic result processing and

certification are done beautifully in COE office.

2.5.8 Reforms in Ph.D. Evaluation

According to the norms of Bharathidasan University, Ph.D. Evaluation is done by the

concerned guide, one Indian examiner and one foreign examiner. The evaluative reports

are consolidated by the guide and sent to the university. Based on the consolidated report

the university permits the public viva-voce for which one external examiner will be

selected by the university from the panel of examiners given by the guide.

2.5.9 COE Operation streamlines

Preparation of Schedules for centralised examinations and transparency for both theory

and laboratory courses along with the planning of the college calendar, disbursal of

necessary materials to external experts and receipt of hard or soft copy of the examination

questions, preparing the attendance sheet, conduct of the exams, evaluation format for all

courses in each semester, computerisation of questions computer entry of marks,

maintenance of a database for external examiners of all disciplines, calculation of

Examination fee as per college norms eliciting the necessary information of eligible

candidates for the issue of hall tickets are some efforts made by the college to streamline

the operations of the Controller of Examinations.

Supplementary examination is another redressal measure for the outgoing students.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Learning outcomes for Programmes

Learning outcomes are clearly stated for each course while the course content is prepared

and then it is passed through the Boards of studies and Academic Council. A copy of the

course content with the learning outcomes is made available to the students for their

reference.

2.6.2 Monitoring Learning outcomes

Since many of the learning outcomes include higher level cognitive abilities, Blue prints

make sure that the analytical and application types of questions are included in the

question paper to ensure the achievements of these learning outcomes. The student

centric teaching and learning method also ensures the achievement of learning outcomes.

2.6.3 Collection and analysis of data

The data on students learning outcomes is collected from the department and Controller

of Examination Office and analysed. The outcome of the analysis is the platform for the

formulation of strategies to overcome the barriers of learning.

3.6 Extension Activities and Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR)

3.6.1 Sensitising on Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR)

Young faculty members are given the opportunity to serve on the extension programmes

committees together with the experienced and trained faculty members. Workshops held

periodically help the individual to internalising the mission of the college. This enhances

their involvement in the extension programmes of the college. Faculty members are

encouraged to attend workshops, seminars and conferences organised by universities and

NGOs to become more professional in implementing the extension activities of the

college. The college strives to instill civic responsibility in the young minds of students

through extension programmes and value based courses so that they develop into

sensitised, socially responsible.

3.6.2 College-neighborhood network and student engagement

College collaborates with the local service agencies that serve the society, thereby

promoting partnership and networking. The students are involved in activities like scribe

work, cleaning historical monuments, tutoring rural children, conducting surveys,

donating blood and participating in rallies to create awareness on social concerns. The

annual seven day NSS camps conducted in selected villages create a healthy rapport

between the college and the community. Continuous visits to a particular village

strengthen the bond and create space for sustained outreach activities.



3.6.3 Promoting the participation of students and faculty in extension programmes

The contributions of students and faculty in extension activities are adequately

recognised and considered for awards. These provisions help to motivate students to

participate in these programmes. Faculty members and students involved in extension

activities, are recommended for NSS special award based on the norms given by the

University/National/State.

3.6.4 Social surveys, Research and Extension work aimed at empowering the

underprivileged

Extension activities give wide exposure to students on societal challenges, environmental

issues, learning difficulties and prevailing injustices towards the less privileged and the

marginalised. Consequently, they become empathetic and learn to approach issues

objectively. These activities widen their horizon and help them to come out of their

comfort zone and see the other side of life.

3.6.5 Awards received

Our Faculty member Dr.P P. Rajan, Assistant Professor, Tamil and Mr.A.Sundaram,

Guest Lecturer in Tamil, were awarded Sri Bharathi Award by Kaviyarasar Kalai Tamil

Sangam, Paramathi Velur. Dr. T. Seethalakshmi, Assistant Professor of Physics has

received Best Teacher Award from “National foundation Entrepreneurship Development”

– Chennai and Young Scientist Award from Dr. G. V. Health and Education

Foundation, Srirangam, Tiruchirappalli – 06. Dr. K. Balasubramani, Assistant Professor

of Chemistry has received Young Scientist Award from DST – FAST TRACK Scheme




3.6.6 Extension activities complementing academic learning experience

Extension activities pervade all aspects of life on campus. These programmes expose

students to various types of people who are mostly underprivileged. The service

experience inculcate the following values and skills in them: Learning to work together

Careful use of resources, Understanding one another, Value of the family system,

Accepting people as they are, Teaching skills, Cooperation and Enhanced communication

skills.

3.6.7 Community participation in extension work

In NSS Camps, students work with the Community in infra structural developmental

work for the village. Medical and Veterinary camps co-organised at rural sites ensure that

the students work together with the community.

3.6.8 Mechanisms to track students involvement

The rigorous requirements for attendance and evaluation help in tracking the students

involvement in the various activities of the college. The student is required to put in 120

hours for NSS and 80 hours for other extension programmes. They are evaluated on the

basis of three components namely Participation, Cooperation and Leadership. Only

students who have 50% attendance are allowed to compensate the lack during her period

of study. If not, the student has to re-register in the extension programme and complete it

in order to be eligible for the award of a degree.

3.6.9 Networking with other Institutions for Service

CRITERION VI:

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

Goal

Enlightening the unprivileged through Education

Vision

It is our vision to persuade every mind in this temple of learning to

tirelessly seek the truth to face the challenges of the times and honestly

participate in the establishment of universal peace, progress and love

Mission

It is our mission to create in everyone an honest searching mind to be

ready for value-based creative citizenship for regional, national and

global peace and progress

6.1.2 Distinctive Characteristics of the College

The college is located in the educationally backward part of the country, where a

traditional and conservative society is emerging out of its self-imposed bondage into the

challenges of modern day living. In this socio-cultural context, Government Arts College

provides quality education to young generation, transforming them into creative citizens

for regional, national and global peace and progress. Students come from semi urban and

rural backgrounds; from private schools and corporation schools; from schools with

English or Tamil as the medium of instruction; from well-educated and not-so-educated

families. At present, more than 50% of the admitted students are first generation learners.

Admissions are given on a first come first serve basis taking into consideration their rank

in the admission list for the respective academic programme.



6.1.3 Leadership involvement

The college has the collective leadership of a dynamic administrative team which

includes, the Principal, Controller of Examinations, Heads of all the departments,

Librarian, Physical Director and Bursar. The Governing Council meets whenever

necessity arises, atleast twice a semester. Three different committees constituted by the

Governing Council, discuss all matters within their purview and present their reports and

recommendations to the Governing Council. A thorough discussion ensues and final

resolutions are taken for implementation. The fee pattern, proposals on infrastructure

facilities, property matters, funds received and the expenditure incurred, are all presented

in detail in the Council meeting. After a careful discussion strategies are planned for the

implementation of the schemes.

6.1.4 Leadership position vacancy

The principal position was vacant for more than a year. The appointing authority of the

principal is the State Government. Due to some unavoidable circumstances there was a

delay in the appointment of the principal and thus the vacancy prolongs for more than a

year. During the period of vacancy the senior most faculty of the college acted as the in-

charge principal. In no way the absence of the principal was an obstacle in the smooth

and effective functioning of the college. From the beginning of the academic year 2013-

2014 regular principal is in office.

6.1.5 Filled up positions of statutory bodies

The college takes utmost care to maintain dynamic statutory bodies inside the campus

always by filling the positions and conducting the meetings at the stipulated intervals and

whenever the necessity arises. When a member is retired the next senior professor will

become the member by virtue of seniority. For some committees the membership period

is restricted and at the end of the period a new member will be elected. The process goes

on smooth for the successful implementation of welfare schemes and development of the

college.



6.1.6 Promoting Participatory Management

The participatory management approach is practiced at different levels in the college and

stakeholders are involved in the process of decision making based on collective wisdom.

This approach is specifically implemented to experience the benefit of participatory

management.

6.1.7 Leadership by the University to the College

Government Arts College is an autonomous institution having permanent affiliation to

Bharathidasan University. The University Nominees of the Boards of Studies and

Academic Council offer constructive suggestions that strengthen Academic Autonomy.

An elected senior member attends the Academic Council of the Bharathidasan University

regularly. Proposals to start new academic programmes are submitted to the University

by October of that year. The commission, deputed by the university, to ensure the

availability of academic expertise and learning resources at the institution is an

academically enabling procedure. Equivalent certificates for innovative academic

programmes of the college are considered favorably by the university, ensuring support

of academic innovation under autonomy. During the time of admission, the university

sanctions additional seats on request for highly sought after courses. The University

cooperates with the institution in issuing the provisional and other certificates to students

at the appropriate time.

6.1.8 Grooming Leadership at all Levels

The Principal, administrative officers and coordinators of various committees attend

leadership training programmes organised by national and international organisations or

institutions. The college deputes faculty members from different levels and departments

to national and international seminars and training programs to strengthen leadership

roles. An unbiased representation of faculty members from Humanities and Sciences and

of different age groups is ensured while such deputation is done to prepare them for



future leadership. At the college level workshops and seminars with all members of the

faculty enable experience and fresh ideas to be transmitted among each other along with

the input from the resource person. The faculty members with potential at the middle

level are identified and trained by entrusting them with the responsibility of an office or

convenorship of committees. All committees are constituted with a judicious mix of

junior members and senior members so that the younger members of the faculty imbibe

the work culture of the college and get groomed for leadership. Such an arrangement is

mutually beneficial and has a synergetic effect for the institution

6.1.9 Knowledge Management

Any new segment of knowledge that is received or created at the college is well

disseminated to all levels. Such a sharing of knowledge leads to better learning

experiences and evolving of new programmes.

The College Research Council organises regular presentations of the research findings of

the faculty. Any learning experience by a faculty member who is deputed to attend

seminars, workshops or courses outside college are shared in the Faculty Meetings or at

the Department meetings. The feedback of the organising and working committees at

different levels is recorded systematically for consideration in the following year.

Whenever a new system of automation is evolved at the Computing Centre of the college,

it is always demonstrated before the stakeholders for the validation of the new knowledge

created.

6.1.10 Values Reflected in the Functioning of the College

Contribution to National Development

The goal of higher education is to equip the individual with knowledge and skills that

meaningfully contribute towards meeting societal needs and thereby contribute to the

development of the nation. This goal has been embodied in the quality policy of the



sanctioned strength of students is obtained from the University for the Highly Demanded

Courses to enhance the Gross enrollment ratio, every year, physically challenged students

are given preference in the choice of courses during admission. New courses are

continually planned and existing ones updated to meet societal needs, different teaching

methods ensure that the core competencies of students are developed making them

employable, training students to be lifelong learners through testing at different cognitive

levels.

Service-learning Programmes also help students extend their academic learning to

society. Participation of cadets of the NCC in many national camps and parades during

the Republic Day, Independence Day, fosters patriotism and develops an eagerness to

serve the nation. Service to society through National Service Scheme (NSS) and NSS

camps are mandatory. These experiential learning sensitises the students to work for the

society and thus contribute to nation building.

Fostering Global Competencies among Students

Global competencies involve effective communication skills, leadership qualities,

creativity, interpersonal skills, higher level of emotional quotient and being a good team

player. Continuous updating of curriculum keeps with global standards. Project works

enable students to enhance and develop their creativity. The project report presentation

and the ensuring viva voce develop their communication skills. Different soft skill

training programmes organised at the college level enhances the capacity of the student to

fight shyness and persuasively state their view.

Inculcating a Value System among Students

The importance of a value system to guide students as they step into a world of work is

recognised by the college and is incorporated in the motto of the college as well as in its

mission statement. Value based programmes are offered by the college to inculcate

values. A spirit of generosity, love for nature and wildlife is imbibed.



Promoting Use of Technology

In a fast changing world, technology is not merely for communication. It can

significantly improve the efficiency of the teaching-learning-testing process as also the

process of administration and management. OMR sheets are used for data entry of

registered candidates and it ensures quick processing of data. The COE office compiles

and keeps records of all students. Alumnae details are maintained and constantly updated

Systematic record of attendance and marks for each student course-wise helps monitor

the students` progress and offer help where needed. A language laboratory and computer

laboratories, equipped with appropriate software are located on the campus. A Question

Bank is stored electronically for use in practical examinations. Well-equipped multimedia

Smart Class room is used for seminars and workshops by departments.

Quest for Excellence

The college, since its inception, has been striving towards excellence. Realising that this

is an ongoing process the college takes continuous steps to improve on all fronts.

Feedback to faculty is given every year with appropriate inputs for further improvement.

Overall well-being of all the members at the campus is an important concern and

therefore mechanisms to address and redress the grievances of students and staff are

maintained. A separate cell is established for grievance redressal. Faculty members bring

their grievances to the principal of the college and in turn the principal constitute a

committee to redress the grievances. Students` grievances are mostly dealt at the

department level where they bring grievances related to academics to their teachers or

advisors. Parents share their grievances with the teachers on a one-to-one basis at the

Parent Teacher Meetings. In addition to all this there is a grievance cell that separately

functions for students.

facilities and student support services. The analysed data from the feedback is presented

in the Governing Council Meeting for further action. This process has resulted in

changes and betterment in curricular aspects, infrastructural facilities and student support

services.

agencies and the college for FDP programmes, affiliation for new courses, All India

survey on higher education etc. The university authorities support all innovative efforts

taken by the college being an autonomous institution affiliated to the university. The

representatives from the university are members on the Boards of Studies and Academic

Council of the college where they offer constructive suggestions for all the

developmental plans of the college.

6.2.8 Benefits of CDC

members for the UGC Faculty Development Programmes. It also helps in procuring UGC

merged-scheme grants and forwards the applications for Innovative programmes/

proposals to the UGC.

6.2.9 Feedback from Non-Teaching Staff, Teaching Staff, Alumnae and Parents

Feedback from non-teaching staff is obtained through discussion with them at regular

intervals. The suggestions from them are considered and used in the betterment of the

institution. They are very much helpful in the rectification of drawbacks if any, which

prevail in the administration. The college also receives need based feedback from

teachers. The feedback obtained from the blend of both experienced and young talented

faculties and their suggestions play an impartment role in shaping up the institution.

Alumnae Feedback is also collected from our alumnae every year during their graduation.

Analysis of the feedback gives information on the number of students who have gone for

higher studies, employment details of the alumnae in addition to their opinion about the

academic programs that they underwent while in college. The feedback also gives details

about various national / international level competitive exams cleared by the alumnae.

Parent-Teacher meetings are held regularly in the college. This meet encourages the

personal touch where rapport with the parents is established.



6.2.10 Departmental Autonomy and Accountability

Autonomy with respect to student admissions is given to the departments to admit

students based on the merit as per the Government norms. Before releasing the

provisional list of students selected for admission, the Principal and the admission

committee validates the list with regard to compliance with admission norms. In

academic programmes, the department is given the freedom to design different courses.

However, the Controller of Examinations monitors the academic programmes for its

credibility. Departments are given the freedom to constitute the panel of external

members for the Boards of Studies. Autonomy is given to the faculty to device various

pedagogies for the Teaching-Learning process. Departments are given the freedom to

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Best Practice – I

1. Title of the practice

Question Bank for practical Examinations

2. Objectives of the practice

To increase the element of objectivity and consistency

To ensure validity, reliability and fairness

3. The Context

Practical examinations are the compulsory component of examination pattern in

almost all the higher education institutions. The questions for the practical

examination were set by the staff members on the day of examination both by the

internal and external examiners. There was a possibility of subjectivity in the

preparation and there was a chance of fore announcement to the candidates.



Further there was possibility of minimizing the entire practical syllabus into the

convenient units and skip other parts of the syllabus. This scenario necessitated a

new methodology in which the objectivity can be maintained and at the same time

validity and fairness are ensured. A novel practice has been designed to meet out

the needs.

4. The Practice

At the beginning of every academic year every staff members who are involved in

the practical examination are instructed to prepare a set of questions for practical

examinations in their relevant subjects. The questions are collected by the

Controller of Examinations, analysed, and stored safe. During the time of

practical the questions are selected by the COE, printed individually for every

student and distributed to them on the spot. This practice avoids subjectivity and

ensures the validity and fairness.

5. Evidence of success

The practice enables the institution to conduct the practical examinations

effectively.

The malpractice is minimized since the sequence of question is different

for every student.

The students are trained in all parts of the practical syllabus, thereby

avoiding the exclusion of some units.

6. Problems encountered and Resources Required.

The difficulty in updating the question

Lack of opportunity for mock exam

Sufficient amount of materials for practical can be acquired.



7.3.2 Practice – II

1. Title of the practice

Students uniform dress code and Identification card.

2. Objectives of the practice

To develop the concept of equality among the students, they are instructed to

come in uniform on Mondays. Different uniform are given for UG and PG

Students. The uniform for the girl students is sarry. Wearing of Identification card

is mandatory for students. It is useful in identifying the students with the

department and branch to which they belong. It is also helpful in indentifying the

entry outsiders in the college premises.

3. Challenging Issues

Since the students are not used to wear sarry prior to the admission in the college,

they find diffcult to wear sarry and feel uncomfortable in the beginning and

accustomed to it in the later stages.

In the preparation of identification cards, errors in the personal particulars are

unavoidable and is a recurring issue.

4. The Practice

The practice of following the uniform dress code and wearing of identification

card would certainly make the students highly disciplined and may create oneness

among the students. It would set an example for unity in diversity.



5. Evidence of Success

All students used to come in uniform dress during the specified day with

identification card and is a opt solution to solve the problem of discrimination

among the students.

6. Problems encountered

The practice goes on smoothly without any obstacles.
