PREFACE

The establishment of NAAC in 1994 revolutionized the scenario of higher education in

India by promoting and monitoring qualitative enrichment initiatives and capacity

building. DAV College for Women, Ferozepur Cantt., identifies closely with the goals of

national development and Quest for Excellence espoused by NAAC. Situated in the

border belt of Ferozepur, a region that has been categorized as ‗educationally backward‘

by UGC, the college has been rendering commendable service in the education and

empowerment of girls from the underprivileged sections of society where women

education is often merely a distant dream. Ever since its establishment in 1969, our

institution has been ensuring social equity and enabling access to higher education for the

segment of female population that exists in obscure villages amidst deprivation and

neglect. It is always a challenge to bring this segment to the forefront, and our institution

feels a deep sense of gratification in striving for the same, with considerable success so

far.

As the college gears up for re-accreditation, Cycle (2), it wishes to place on record its

appreciation and gratitude to NAAC for having devised the unique mechanism of Self-

Study Report (SSR) for self-appraisal and self-assessment so as to achieve excellence.

With the presentation of the Self-Study Report (SSR), the college reiterates its

commitment towards Quality initiatives, Quality sustenance and Quality enhancement in

higher education.

Looking forward to the NAAC visit as an experience that will be intellectually rewarding

as well as academically stimulating.

Executive Summary

DAV College for Women, Ferozepur Cantt., is playing a crucial role in women

empowerment in the border belt of Punjab. Managed by expert and eminent stalwarts in

the educational arena, and under the aegis of DAV College Managing Committee, New

Delhi, the college is founded on a sound educational philosophy. Its main thrust is on

imparting value-based education for the holistic development of its students ever since its

inception in 1969. The Vision and Mission of the institution are the vehicles to fulfill this

endeavor.

Vision of the Institute: DAV College for Women is located in the border belt of

Ferozepur which has been identified by UGC as ‗educationally backward‘. The college is

being instrumental in transforming the scenario of women empowerment in the region.

The institution is focused on imparting modern knowledge along with the spiritual core

of Vedic values to students. As part of the widespread DAV educational network, the

emphasis is on guiding and motivating the girls to make a healthy transition from

adolescence to a responsible adulthood. The college aims at inculcating life-long learning

skills by building self-confidence, determination, perseverance and methodical thinking

besides fulfilling the main aim of providing excellent facilities for gaining knowledge and

achieving pedagogic heights.

The Mission and Objectives of the Institute:

To educate and empower women and make them economically independent.

To provide education that enables our students not only to excel in the multifarious

professions of their choice but to develop within them such sterling equalities as will give

shape to a more just and egalitarian society.

To enable the students to imbibe moral values, professional attitude and communal

harmony so that they become commendable citizens who can serve society, their country

and the world.

To build up a sense of pride in students of their cultural heritage and national identity.

Ans:

Format for Presentation of Practice

1. Title of Practice: Inclusive Education: A Focus on Social Inclusivity in Higher

Education

2. Goal:

To improve enrolment of students belonging to:

a. Rural areas

b. Socially Backward Groups

To achieve this through:

a. Awareness drives

b. Pre-enrolment campaigns

c. Incentives

To provide books and other educational inputs.

To prevent dropout of these students from the college.

To ensure that they successfully accomplish their courses.

To ensure social and economic empowerment through education.

3. Context:

A developing nation marked by a drastic urban rural divide and high illiteracy rate

needs a greater focus on inclusivity.

This divide becomes much more pronounced in case of higher education for

women with a background of diverse social inequity.

UGC has identified Ferozepur as an ‗educationally backward‘ area in Punjab

Ferozepur is also a border belt and the college provides the best academic

opportunities so as to be affordable to girls living in the remote villages of this

region.

4. The Practice

DAV COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, FEROZEPUR CANTT. [PUNJAB], INDIA 155

Enrolment of students of underprivileged section of society is achieved through:

1. Awareness campaigns in villages

2. Pre-admission enrolment drives

3. Participation of faculty members towards the fulfilment of this goal through

their social channels and links

The students who approach the college authorities for admission but have limited

means are provided financial incentives. For instance, fee for socially backward

students was completely waived and free study material from book bank was also

provided.

If needed, the Counselling Cell of the college motivates the families of these

students to allow their daughters to pursue higher education.

5. Challenges

1. A conservative, prohibitive gender-bias and demotivating mindset that

discourages higher education for women.

2. Lower learning standards of students belonging to rural areas, due to lack of

quality educational facilities at school level in rural schools, serves as a major

impediment in their further development.

3. Lack of adequate financial resources for sustaining higher education courses

7. Problems Encountered and Resources Required a) Special goverment grants are required to facilitate the teaching-learning process in

case of students coming from underprivileged sections of society.

Format for Presentation of Practice

Title of Practice: Moral Education and Community Service.

Goal: To foster a strong moral self that is the foundation of a noble character.

The college places great emphasis on building a sturdy moral base among the

students. It is the formation of a strong and noble character that is the actual aim

of education.

Context:

To inculcate moral values in the present generation of girls and help them develop

a feeling of self-worth as well as commitment towards service to the community.

The Practice:

make the students commendable citizens of society, the college inspires them to

follow the motto of Arya Samaj: To make the world the best it can be. In this

context, the college is involved in regular community service programmes

through its units of NSS and NCC, as well as Arya Yuvti Sabha. These

programmes have included, in the last four years, Blood Donation Camps, literacy

DAV COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, FEROZEPUR CANTT. [PUNJAB], INDIA 158

programmes, health and hygiene awareness camps, environment education and

vocational training projects.

Evidence of Success:

The students have been motivated for community service and hence have shown a

great enthusiasm in organising as well as participating in the following various

programmes:

The Department of Psychology has grown over the years; it has a well-qualified staff which

makes use of innovative teaching methods. With technological advancement, psychological

problems are increasing day by day. Thus, the need of trained psychologists is on the rise. Many

opportunities are available for students of Psychology in the field of Guidance and Counseling

in schools, AIDS Awareness and De-Addiction centres. Many students are getting placements in

these fields. The strength of students is increasing every year. The challenge for the department

is to help students get more jobs in this globalised and competitive era. The future plan of the

department is to emphasize practical training to the students and arrange more field trips so that

students can enrich themselves with in-depth knowledge of the subject.

heartedly in rendering social service to the community. Mrs. Bimla Marwaha herself

remained Programme Officer of the college unit for a long time and continues to be

actively involved with such work. The students of the department also participate regularly

in all awareness campaigns conducted by various departments eg. NCC, Red Ribbon Club,

Eco Club, Blood Donation Camps, etc. Recognising the needs of the weaker sections of

society, the students of the department are encouraged to donate voluntarily their old books

to the needy. ‗Save Environment‘ – an awareness programme has been started by the

department to enable them with better means and ways to deal with waste management.

Also, from time to time, the department has held awareness drives towards the growing

menace of drug abuse and its effects on the society.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

The Department of Economics has qualified, dedicated and hard working faculty. No

projects are yet defined in the syllabus. Economics is a core social science having a major

representation in various competitive examinations and therefore, has vast applications in

diversified fields and offers opportunities of collaborative efforts with other departments.

Its syllabus needs to be more research-oriented. The future plans of the department are to

conduct more guest lectures by inviting experts. It also plans to encourage faculty to take

up projects.
