2. Objectives of the Practice

� Helps to eliminate obscurantism, religious fanaticism, violence,

superstitions and fatalism. � Providing moral values and etiquette to make the student a

good human being.



96

3. The Context

The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an

increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for

readjustment in curriculum in order to make education a forceful tool

for the cultivation of social and moral values. In our culturally plural

society, education should foster universal and eternal values, oriented

towards unity and integration of people.

4. The Practice

In addition to the regular curriculum, values such as truth, peace,

non-violence, right conduct, love and compassion are induced as core

values by refashioning the education system. It consists of universally

accepted education and it is a precursor for knowledge and evolves to

meet contemporary needs. Hence in all our curricular, extra

curricular and extension activities values are integrated to maintain

peace and harmony. Guest lectures, organising seminars exclusively

on Human values and Relevance of Gandhian principles, arranging

field trips to old age homes, participation in community development

activities to generate service mindedness, along with highlighting the

sayings, quotations of eminent people, their experiences which gives

impetus to the students on values.

5. Evidence of Success

Students developed high moral character, self discipline, and sense of

service, devotion to duty, selflessness, self control, tolerance and

respect for the views of others. It enabled them to respect values

enshrined in the constitution. Through this practice students learnt

how to be firm in the unfamiliar and difficult circumstances.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

It is not a programme but it is a process. So values can not be imbibed

overnight. Yet, they are nourished and nurtured continuously through

committed staff of various faculties. Necessary monetary assistance is

provided for taking students to field trips to have real time

experiences.

Best Practice -II

1. Title of the Practice.

Measures for the benefit of Marginalized Sections

2. Objectives of the Practice.

Bring learning to the door-step of all social and economic parities

without bar.

3. The Context.

The college having on its roll mostly students from the S.C, S.T

and other underprivileged sections, it takes all necessary steps to

impart them education at affordable costs.



97

4. The Practice

The college, since its inception a century back, has the belief that

education is the tool to bring about social change. It had on its

mind then to drive away social evils and promote an awareness of

ones right for independence. The college, true to its credentials, is

not behind in the implementation of the programmes enshrined in

the constitution. The government policy of reservations for the

underprivileged sections is strictly followed. Proof of

transparency is that the list of selected candidates is publicly

displayed. For the benefit of the sections, the college has made

hostel facility available at affordable prices. Remedial classes are

also conducted for the sections.

5. Evidence of Success

Number of students who have studied here have reached positions

of pride, the college being fed with a good number of students

belonging to these sections.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The challenge for the college lies in making these disadvantaged

rural crops of students ready to face the world. The college has

made ready state of the art laboratories in English, Commerce

and Computer Science departments for imparting communication

and other skills. A course in personality development skills and

other add-on courses have been introduced. Various scholarships

instituted for their welfare by alumni also take care of their

welfare

Post Accreditation Initiatives

Assessment and accreditation of the institution was done by NAAC in

2009. The College was accredited with ‘B’ grade. Earnest efforts were

initiated by the Students, Staff and Management striving hard to work

collectively to create an academic ambience to sustain and enhance the quality

and excellence. In the aftermath of the accreditation process, the institution

had been immensely benefited and efforts to enhance the potential strength

factors and rectify the deficiencies through appropriate interventions had

begun.

A synoptic view of the criterion wise post accreditation initiatives

taken by the College in designing and implementation of strategies to achieve

quality in its functioning is given in detail below.

[ I ] Curricular Aspects:

Sincere attempts were made to introduce innovative and value added

courses with a wide range of programmes offered at both UG and PG level.

After NAAC accreditation two post graduate courses (M.Sc Organic

Chemistry, M.Sc Analytical Chemistry), an Under graduate Course (B.B.M)

and two other new combinations in B.Sc course (M.S.Cs &M.C.Cs) were

introduced. Academic flexibility was achieved through conducting Certificate

Courses, Add-on Programmes, Remedial Classes, Bridge Courses and

obtaining feedback from students on curriculum. Conscious efforts were

launched by the faculty members in each Department to achieve Curriculum

flexibility and the syllabi were revised and up-dated regularly. Conducting

Seminars, Invited Lectures, Professional Development Programmes etc., as an

integral part of curricular activities had been institutionalized. Value

orientation, Social awareness, Women empowerment programmes formed part

of the Curricula. Renewal of autonomy for the college for a further period of

six years (i.e. up to 2017) enabled the college to continuously upgrade the

syllabus and introduce new subjects and to make it as contemporary and

relevant as possible. There is a mechanism of feedback on curriculum obtained

from students, faculty and responses received from all the stake holders are

analysed and acted upon.

[ II ] Teaching-Learning and Evaluation:

Introduction of a broad spectrum of courses attracted the students and

paved way for increased enrollment of students which is a sustainable growth

indicator. The College is encouraging interactive teaching methodology

through latest technologies integrating with conventional teaching.

Convergence of one or more teaching, e-learning methods have further

strengthened the planning capabilities of the students. Library with internet

access and INFLIBNET facility has generated much interest in students and

faculty.

xxviii

The College has unique distinction of having transparent, confidential,

credible evaluation system. Midterm evaluation, student feedback mechanism

and effective grievance redressal system have been put in place to make

teaching and learning more accountable. Transparency in evaluation system is

ensured by giving answer scripts to the students. One of the best practices

introduced by the college includes issuing academic schedule at the beginning

of the academic year itself and timely declaration of results. Innovative

teaching methods like Power Point Presentations, e-learning methods,

supplying study material, Guest lectures, field trips have promoted interactive

learning and sustained student interest.

Feedback of courses and teachers by the students is taken to strengthen

the accountability in teaching-learning process. For assuring quality education

IQAC is in charge of disseminating quality perspective among the stake

holders of the institution.

[ III ] Research, Consultancy and Extension:

Creation of new knowledge through research is one of the

major activities of the College. Top priority is accorded to research and

Spectro-photometer has been installed in the Chemistry laboratory. Students

are motivated to under take formal visits, surveys, study tours to various

centers of excellence. Use of internet facility and ICT has enhanced the

technical capabilities of the students. Strengthening of research activity in the

College is done through mutually re-enforcing linkages between teaching and

research. Considering Faculty Development as one of the important elements

for ensuring quality excellence, twelve faculty members were deputed to

pursue PhD under FDP. To promote research, the Major and Minor Research

Projects funded by UGC have been undertaken by faculty. Large number of

faculty members attended National/International Seminars and Six National

Seminars/Conferences were organized by the institution. Orientation

programmes were conducted for Junior Lecturers. Research contributions have

been extended to community service to fulfill responsibility towards society.

In the field of extension activities many of the departments have linkages with

NGOs and other organizations which enable faculty and students to engage in

research. Extension services rendered by NSS Units instill a sense of

responsibility towards society

[ IV ] Infrastructure and Learning Resources:

ICT and infrastructure have enabled the college to impart

technological literacy in the campus and to promote e-culture. A separate

block consisting of six class rooms and a Mathematical Computer Laboratory

with thirty Computers has been established. An exclusive Girls Hostel with

eight rooms to accommodate forty students is under construction. Safe

drinking water facility has been provided at Library, women’s waiting hall,

office and students common places. Individual Departments are provided with

Inverters and a high capacity generator was installed at the examination

section. The College Library has a large collection of books and journals and

other publications. It is well supported by internet access to e-journals through

INFLIBNET.

xxix

[ V ] Student Support and Progression:

Support services in the form of remedial classes, special coaching

classes, add-on programmes and certificate courses are being conducted. The

Career Guidance and Placement Cell provides the related information and

material regarding career opportunities in higher education and employment.

Anti Ragging Committee and Women Empowerment Cell are functioning

effectively and no case of Women harassment has been reported. NCC and

NSS units exclusively for girls are functioning. A large number of alumni are

extending their assistance and cooperation to the development of the

institution.

[ VI ] Governance, Leadership and Management:

Democratic atmosphere with decentralized administration is in vogue.

All the decisions are made in the Heads Council meetings. The Management

encourages the faculty to organize and attend Seminars/Workshops and keep

them abreast of latest knowledge resources in their respective fields. To

improve the learning levels of the students, IQAC is functioning for re-

enforcing culture of excellence.

[ VII ] Innovation and Best Practices:

Life skills education is extended by NSS, NCC and Women

Empowerment Cell to all the students to face the challenges of the day to day

life. For this value oriented education is included in the curriculum as a best

practice to shape the personality of the youth. This enables the students to

work for social reconstruction. Measures taken to bring learning to the door

steps of all social and economic sections without bar is yet another best

practice implemented in the College.
