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.

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

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:
The college orientates students towards moral education by facilitating
inspirational Hawan Yagyan and deliberations upon Vedic teachings. In order to
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:
Mahatma Hans Raj Blood Donation Camp was organised in November 2014 in
which 101 units of blood were donated.
Cleanliness Drive, Medical check-up camp was organised in Arya Anathalya, the
oldest orphanage of Ferozepur, for three days in the month of September 2014.

The Department has a well-qualified and experienced staff.The teachers help the students to hone their
creative and critical writing skills.The students of the department are well-versed in the regional language
which facilitates them to have vast job oppurtunities in media,as translation experts and in teaching.The
only challenge faced by the department is less availability of software in Punjabi language.The future
plans of the department include more emphasis on research and taking up more research projects.

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.

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.

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.
