1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for

effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the

process and substantiate through specific example(s).

The university designs the course curriculum of their own. However,

some teachers from the affiliating colleges are invited to the meetings

have participated the meetings of Board of Studies for designing the

curriculum. Moreover, the departments submit their suggestions

regarding the syllabi in writing and the university also incorporates on

reliability and proximity.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers

receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectively

translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?

The university organizes workshop before implementation of the

revised curriculum. Dibrugarh University switched over its annual

university organized workshops on zone basis and the course

curriculum, examination system, evaluation processes were discussed

elaborately.

The college authority also deputes some teachers for short term,

refresher and orientation courses where the teachers can discuss about

the course curriculum.

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the

institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the

Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other

Criteria-wise Inputs 27

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries

such as industry, research bodies and the university in effective

operationalisation of the curriculum?

In fact, the curriculum is designed by the Board of Studies in

consultation with the concerned departments of the affiliating colleges.

Only a few members from the colleges are invited. Obviously, the

colleges have to keep close contact with the respective departments of

the university. The industries or the research bodies have been not

directly involved in effective operationalisation of the curriculum.

However, in partial fulfillment o the curriculum, some departments

arrange industrial visit with the students.

1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff

members to the development of the curriculum by the University?

(number of staff members/departments represented on the Board

of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder

the course with all demands. The curriculum of “Bioinformatics”,

carrier oriented course, was designed by the department of Botany,

Chemistry and Computer Science.

1.1.8 How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of

curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation?

The college has to implement the curriculum once it is approved by the

university. Each department analyses the curriculum and intimates the


Board of Studies if any incompatibility or incoherent topic is observed.

The Board of Studies too solves this in constructive way.

The departments make all possible efforts to acquire the course

contents by collecting relevant course materials or sometimes by

inviting expertise resource persons from the university so that the

students be ensured with desirability. The college sometimes organizes

exchange programmes with neighbouring colleges.

1.2 Academic Flexibility

1.2.1 Specifying the goals and objectives give details of the

certificate/diploma/ skill development courses etc., offered by the

1.2.4 Does the institution offer self-financed programmes? If ‘yes’, list

them and indicate how they differ from other programmes, with

reference to admission, curriculum, fee structure, teacher

qualification, salary etc.

The college offers self-financed programmes in

specialization and the teachers are engaged basically as guest lecturers.

The college authority, in consultation with an ad-hoc committee, fixes

the fee structure as well as the salary components.

1.2.5 Does the college provide additional skill oriented programmes,

relevant to regional and global employment markets? If ‘yes’

provide details of such programme and the beneficiaries.

The university has designed the curriculum incorporating computer

conventional face-to-face and Distance Mode of Education for

students to choose the courses/combination of their choice” If ‘yes’,

how does the institution take advantage of such provision for the

benefit of students?

The university has not provided for any flexibility of combining the

conventional face-to-face and Distance Mode of Education for

students. So, the students cannot enjoy the synergic mode of learning.

1.3 Curriculum Enrichment:

1.3.1 Describe the efforts made by the institution to supplement the

University’s Curriculum to ensure that the academic programmes

and Institution’s goals and objectives are integrated?

The curriculum designed by the university is focused on the subject

seminars, group discussions, literary, cultural, quiz, debate

competitions, organizes popular talks, training, coaching, counseling

programmes to achieve its goal and fulfilling objectives.

1.3.2 What are the efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize

the curriculum to enhance the experiences of the students so as to

cope with the needs of the dynamic employment market?

free access in the college library.

1.3.4 What are the various value-added courses/enrichment

programmes offered to ensure holistic development of students?

• moral and ethical values

• employable and life skills

• better career options

• community orientation

The College enrolls a number of students in NCC. The cadets

participate in blood donation camp and many other national camps and

have earned several achievements. Some of the cadets have also been

able to get employed.

The students under NSS have extended services to the community in

several occasions like flood relief, Voters’ awareness campaign etc.

Moreover, the college has emphasized on and has been carrying out

some ‘Non Academic Initiatives’ towards enhancement of ‘Life Skills’

through some out bound training methods such as nature trails, training

on photography in the forest, introspective programme in forest

environment, corporate social responsibility etc. Digboi College,

through its Students’ Union, has raised “Student Aid Fund” to help the

poor section of students. These non academic initiatives sensitize

towards instilling “Life Skills” among students and help to grow

adaptability, team work, ethical and social sensitization.

1.3.5 Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the

feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

Feed-back on curriculum are being collected from students, alumni and

guardians in some certain sets of questionnaires. Valuable suggestions

The university also responds positively.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its

enrichment programmes?


The Principal and the IQAC monitor the quality of the enrichment

programme through discussion in various levels. If any loophole is

noticed or reported then make all efforts to rectify the anomalies or

incompetencies.

1.4 Feedback Systems:

1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and

development of the curriculum prepared by the University?

The course curriculum is ordinarily designed by the university through

its Board of Studies and Academic Council. Some senior faculty

members of our college are invited to the meetings of Board of studies

and can share the issues. Prior to the designing of new curriculum or

development, the Principal advises every department to discuss among

themselves and asks them to submit their modalities in writing to the

proper authority. The faculty members too proceed accordingly and

have been able to play a vital role in development of the curriculum.

1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and

stakeholders on Curriculum? If ‘yes’, how is it communicated to

the University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment

and introducing changes/new programmes?

The IQAC entrusts upon some faculty members of collecting feedback

on the curriculum from the students, alumni and guardians. The

“Body” prepares a format of questionnaire and collects the feedback.

The relevant suggestions are communicated to the University for

taking necessary action. The university too reciprocates with

appreciation. The feedback also helps in internal enrichment of the

curriculum.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the

institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for

introducing new courses/programmes?)

Any other relevant information regarding curricular aspects

which the college would like to include.

The college has introduced some new programmes in the last four

years. These are

• A Distance Education Study Centre for UG Course under

Krishna Kanta Handiqui Open University, Guwahati, Assam

• Permission has been procured to open Diploma Course on

“Wildlife Conservation”, “Certificate Course on

Communication Skill”, “Certificate Course on “Computer

Hardware and Networking” and “PG Diploma in Journalism

and Mass Communication”.

The opening of these courses may be justified on the ground that this

locality is far from the state capital and important cities of the country

and the students are from mostly lower income group.


CRITERION II

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrollment and Profile

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the

admission process?

The Principal of the college convenes a meeting of the heads of the

departments, quite before the time of admission, and prepares the

norms of admission as suggested by them. A prospectus committee is

then constituted for preparation of the college prospectus, the

admission norms have been incorporated there in also with the

admission forms. The college ensures publicity for admission through

the following ways:

i) Displaying admission schedule in the college notice board,

ii) Uploading the college web-site (also provisions for down

loading the admission form)

iii) Displaying hoarding and banners in the important corners of

the busy public areas.

iv) Using local channels of electronic media.

v) Advertising sometimes in print media

vi) College prospectus.

The college maintains transparency in admission process as it follows

all the norms in letter and spirit. Every successive step is being

informed to the students in the notice board.

2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex.

(i) merit (ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies

and national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test

or merit, entrance test and interview (iv) any other) to various

programmes of the Institution.

The principal constitutes admission sub-committees separately for

Arts, Science and Commerce stream. A chairperson with a senior

faculty and a few members has been selected for each stream and they

look into all affairs of the admission processes. However, the principal

oversees the procedure. The admission committees notify the dates of

submission of forms, scrutiny of the forms and also the dates of

interviews. The Committees collect the admission forms after due date,

scrutinize and prepare a list of suitable candidates strictly on the basis

of merit, University and Govt. norms for different categories and also


the norms laid down in the college prospectus. The selection lists along

with waiting lists are displayed in the college notice board notifying

the dates for interview. In the interview the committee members verify

the original documents and credentials. A synchronous counseling is

done by the faculty members of concerned departments on the basis of

past performance of the students and suggests them for their

prospective combination of subjects, which is noticed to be an eye-

opener for the puzzling student. The chairperson then forwards the

applicant for admission.

The common admission test is not held, however, some of the

departments hold screening test for major course aspiring students.

2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for

admission at entry level for each of the programmes offered by the

college and provide a comparison with other colleges of the

affiliating university within the city/district.

The comparative minimum and maximum percentage of marks for

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission

process and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome

of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of

the process?


Yes, the college has a mechanism to review the admission process and

the students’ profile. The Principal, the Vice-Principal and the HoDs

sit before the commencement of the new session, finalize the total

number of seats for major courses and also the cut-off mark at the entry

level. This body also analyses the students’ attendance, performance in

the internal sessional examinations. Extra care has been taken for the

weaker students, such as remedial classes, tutorial classes are arranged.

Synchronous counseling by respective faculty members on the day of

interview motivates the students for right selection of their subject

combinations and in the long run they have been benefitted a lot.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for

following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission

policy of the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect

the National commitment to diversity and inclusion

* SC/ST

* OBC

* Women

* Differently abled

* Economically weaker sections

* Minority community

* Any other

The college adopts a special strategy by publishing the allotment of

seats as per Govt. directives in its prospectus. Categorized seats are

allotted on the basis of merit, economically weaker section, women,

differently-abled etc. Relaxed norms for these special categories have

also been mentioned in the prospectus. Category-wise allotment of

seats in each stream are as follows: SC-7%, ST(P)-10%, ST(H)-5%,

OBC/MOBC-15%, Physically Disabled-3%, Sports-1%, NCC-1% and

Staff-1%.

2.1.6 Provide the following details for various programmes offered by

Sometimes the criteria are not fulfilled by the applicants and hence the

number of students varies.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity:

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled

students and ensure adherence to government policies in this

regard?

Fortunately, Digboi College does not have any physically disabled

student till now. In case, such students happen to be enrolled, the

college will extend all possible facilities as per Govt. guidelines.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of

knowledge and skills before the commencement of the

programme?

If ‘yes’, give details on the process.

The college has made its all efforts to assess the students’ needs in

terms of knowledge and skills just in the beginning of the session. A

counseling programme on the day of admission by the faculty


members and an induction programme on the 1st day of the new

session have regularly been organized to assess their needs. In the

Freshmen Social programme also the fresh students are given full

liberty to share their inconveniences. The authority takes keen interest

in resolving the issues. It needs mention that from this session the

authority has adopted the guardian-teacher concept. The first and third

semester students are randomly made into some groups and allotted

almost equally per teaching member. The guardian-teacher and the

groups will sit once in a month, will exchange their views relating to

the students’ individual problems, his/her drawbacks, latent talents,

aims and ambitions etc. The guardian-teachers have been entrusted to

explore all these sources and counsel accordingly.

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the

knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Add-

on/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the

programme of their choice?

As for the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge

the knowledge-gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with

their concerned programme, remedial classes are arranged for the

weaker section of students. Moreover, a few introductory classes are

taken to review their knowledge level.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such

as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?

The college authority has constituted “Sexual harassment and

Protection Cell”, “Digboi College Women Welfare Center”, “Equal

Opportunity Cell”, “Anti-ragging Squad”, “Discipline Committee” etc.

to look after the sensitive issues like gender sensitization, protection of

women and girl students. Digboi College Women Welfare Centre has

particularly been organizing gender sensitization programme, stress

management, time-management etc. by inviting some specialized

personalities.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

The faculty members of respective departments identify the advance

learners on the basis of their performance in class tests, sessional

examinations (in-semesters), interaction etc. The stratified groups are

then allotted advance topics, assignments. They are also assigned to

solve the university question papers of at least last 5-7 years

examinations. The faculty members, then, discuss the question papers

in extra classes. The shortcomings are pointed out. The students are


also provided lists of some reference books available in the

departmental as well as the central library for furthering of their

knowledge level.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and

information on the academic performance (through the

programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students

from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,

slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may

discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)?

It is obvious that the students, whose performances particularly in the

1st and 2

nd semester are not satisfactory, are at the risk of drop-outs as

the back system provided by the university entails overburden to them.

Each department shortlists such stratified groups comprising

disadvantaged and economically weaker sections, slow learners and

arrange remedial classes, extra classes so that the drop-out risk could

be minimized. Another reason for drop-out is that a good number of

students enrolled in the college are from economically weaker section.

The college authority takes it most seriously and put all-out efforts to

harness UGC grants (e.g. Conveyance allowance), Govt. Scholarships,

book facilities etc. Moreover, student free-ship, fee concession is being

provided from its own fund to a limited extent. Digboi College

Teachers’ Unit (DCTU) and Digboi College Students’ Aid Funds also

extend financial help to the poor but meritorious students.

etc.)

The college authority always has been encouraging the faculty

members in enhancing their research activities through its “Research

Forum”. The authority extends all necessary cooperation to the faculty

in procuring research grants from UGC and other funding agencies. As

a result, some teachers have availed the Major and Minor research

project from UGC.

Ongoing major research projects = 03 (Dr. Dip Saikia Principal; Dr.

M. Sharma Borthakur, Economics Department; Dr. Kanchan Konwar,

Physics Department).

Ongoing minor projects = 05 (Dr. Anamika Neog, History Department;

teaching during the last four years.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the

students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for

improving the quality of the teaching-learning process?

The college has been following the practice of evaluating the teachers’

performance by students’ feedback mechanism on random basis. The

students are supplied with formats with some certain questionnaire.

The students complete the format regarding the concerned teachers

without any prejudice. The forms are collected, analyzed and the

teachers found any discrepancy or adverse report are advised for their

rectification.

The college has also planning for external academic audit by peers in

the coming years for improving the teaching-learning process.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the

institution especially students and faculty are aware of the

evaluation processes?

The University frames all the rules and regulations regarding the

evaluation process in the meeting of “Board of Studies” and

“Academic Council” and circulate the resolutions to all the affiliating

colleges. The principal also provides the copies of resolutions to the

HODs and ensures that the faculty is aware of the evaluations. The

principal convenes general meeting of the faculty members and

apprises the evaluation processes through discussion.


Consequently, the faculty members also apprise the students in their

respective classes. As the University switched over the annual system

to semester system in 2011-12, so the University organized some

workshops on zonal basis and discussed the evaluation process in

details and ensured that each and every teacher are well acquainted

with the process.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the

institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the

institution on its own?

Dibrugarh University switched over the annual system to semester

from the session 2011-12. As a result, major changes surfaced out

quite ahead of time, the University had organized symposia, workshop

to discuss every pros and cons of the implications and collected

suggestions on implementations of the semester system in

undergraduate level and accommodated the outcomes of the symposia /

workshop etc. The college also discussed the proposed curriculum and

evaluation process and put suggestions, some of which were

accommodated by the university as well.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the

evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the

institution on its own?

As the University is the sole authority in designing the structure of the

course curriculum, so the affiliating colleges have little scope in it.

However, the faculty as Board member or as an invitee takes part in

this reformation process. In the semester course, the University

reserves the right to set questions of 80% marks in each paper in end

semester examination and the rest 20% marks are internal marks due

by the colleges. This 20% are accrued of 25% from 1st sessional, 25%

from 2nd

sessional examination, 25% from students’ attendance and

25% from seminar / GD / assignments etc. The college ensures the

effective implementation of the sessional marks through in-semester

examinations; seminar/GD /Assignments and strict norms of students’

attendance.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment

approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few

examples which have positively impacted the system.

The college authority as well as the departments applies some

formative approaches to evaluate the achievements of the students.

These are, frequent class tests, two in-semester (sessional)


examinations, class room interactions, home assignments, seminars,

group discussions etc. Moreover, University questions of last few years

have been allotted to the students as home assignments. These are

checked and the defects are shown to them. These summative

approaches are key aspects for evaluation of their achievement.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years

and weightages assigned for the overall development of students

(weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning,

communication skills etc.

Dibrugarh University introduced semester system in UG course w.e.f.

2011 academic session in place of annual system. A degree student

must complete six semesters successfully for his graduation. In each

paper, 20% of Marks has been fixed as internal assessment and the

affiliating colleges have been entrusted to allot this marks internally on

some certain weightage. The total marks 20 accrued of 25% from 1st

Sessional, 25% from 2nd

sessional, 25% from students’ attendance and

25% from seminar / GD / assignments etc. The college maintains

transparency in allotting the internal assignment. The students are

shown their answer scripts after checking, marks are displayed in the

departmental notice boards. The teachers correct any anomaly as notice

by the students. The attendance is recorded in true sense and seminars /

GD / assignments have been evaluated jointly.

2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliating

university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by

the students?

The College has been specifying the graduate attributes in their merits,

other potent talents, and human values. The college takes up all

possible efforts for better teaching so that the students might secure

good marks in their examinations and can make progression for higher

studies. The talents in other non-curricular aspects are being searched

organizing competitions in the college week events and streamline

them. Various career guiding workshops like entry into administrative

services, forest services, banking services, handicrafts training have

been organized. They are equipped with computer literacy internet

browsing. The students can publish their innovating thinking creative

writing through college magazine, wall magazine and project works

etc. Participating in Inter College Youth Festivals, the students get

scopes for their exposure of talents and activities. The seminars, group

discussions organized by the departments facilitate the students in


building their leadership quality, enhancing communication skill and

self-confidence.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with

reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?

In the mid-semester i.e. sessional examinations the evaluated answer-

scripts are shown individually to the students. If the students bring any

discrepancy to the notices of the evaluator, then are rechecked the

answers and corrected if there is authenticity.

The University conducts the end semester examinations. The question

papers are set by the University and answer scripts are evaluated at

different zones and scrutinized properly by appointing scrutinizers and

head examiners and subsequent stages for results are completed

confidentially and declare result in due time. The students can apply

for recheck within stipulated time as per procedure, if they are not

satisfied. The University makes necessary arrangements for re-

evaluation and issues fresh mark-sheet with or without change of

previous marks. The students have the right for RTI and their

grievances are redressed.

2.6. Student performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’

give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

CRITERIA VII

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness:

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and

facilities?

The college has so far not conducted any green audit. However, it

proposes to start conducting green audit in near future.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus

eco-friendly?

* Energy conservation

* Use of renewable energy

* Water harvesting

* Check dam construction

* Efforts for Carbon neutrality

* Plantation

* Hazardous waste management

* e-waste management

The College has made conscious effort to make the campus eco-

friendly. A “Beautification and Environment protection” sub-

committee has been constituted to look after the issues of campus

beautification and environment protection. The committee has been

vested with powers to frame plans and policies that would contribute

towards the beautification of the campus as well as takes up issues

related to environment protection inside the campus.

The college has recognized the importance of plantation of trees in

conserving the environment and contributing towards carbon

neutrality. Plantation of tree saplings in the college campus is one of

the major events on the occasions like “World Environment Day”,

“College Foundation Day” etc. every year. These are nurtured and

cared for by the gardeners under the guidance of faculty members.

The orchard garden at the slope of the ideal hillock, near the Boys’

Hostel, was made ready on 15.08.2012. Varieties of orchard plants

were selected and planted with a motive to attract birds and other

frugivorous animals to add more to the natural beauty of the college. A

mini botanical garden, mostly with medicinal plants, has been well

maintained at the initiative of the Botany Department. Variety of

indigenous medicinal plants are planted and conserved. One flower

garden beside the auditorium and another in front of administrative


block are well maintained. Some ornamental trees were also planted

along the approach road in the non-built up areas.

Identification and nomenclature is a basic key in scientific study of

flora and fauna. Keeping this view, almost all the trees inside the

college campus have been identified and labeled with scientific and

common names and a check list was prepared. Some of our faculty

members have also photographic collection of local and migratory

birds that are watched in our campus and have also been identified.

Moreover, the college has been taking efforts continually towards

creating environmental consciousness among the students as well as

the common people in and around Digboi. Some of the faculty

members, at the initiative of the college, and in association with Assam

Science Society, Digboi Branch; Aranyak, an NGO; and Digboi Forest

Division have organized several awareness programmes.

The college has initiated a water harvesting plant in the Arts Block

with a view to save electricity and to keep the campus eco-friendly.

CFL bulbs are used in the college as well as the hostels for energy

conservation. Moreover; the college fraternities are already used in

stopping unused lights and fans. A transformer has been already

installed in the campus for stabilization of the current. The college also

proposes to install solar panels for renewable source of energy.

7.2: Innovation:

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years

which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the

college.

The college has introduced a numbers of innovations during the last

four years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of

the college. Some of the notable innovative works are;

• Displaying thought of the Day: “Digboi College Students’

Science Club”, a student wing of Assam Science Society, Digboi

Branch, was established on 1st October, 2005. It consists of a

secretary and a number of office bearers from among the students

and three teachers guide them in all respects and the committee is

reconstituted every year. In addition to organizing quiz, debate,

extempore speech and inter-departmental seminar competitions

among students of science stream, the science club had come up

with the novel idea of writing and displaying “Thought of the Day”

and has been meticulously carrying forward the practice since

August, 2012.


• Counselling on “Gender Sensitization”: Digboi College Women

Welfare Centre (DCWWC) has been making strenuous efforts

towards counselling girl students on different gender related issues.

However, a counslling session on gender sensitization was

conducted exclusively for boy students on 01.04.2014. Mrs.

Nandita G. Sarmah, a psychological counselor, acted as a resource

person in the programme.

• Counselling students at the time of admission: The faculty

members of respective departments counsel the students just before

their admission. They analyze the mark sheets of the students and

their achievements with perusal and suggest the students to take up

the combination of subjects, major subject etc. on the basis of their

last performances. The majority of the students face problems in

selecting their combinations of subjects and thus the students are

much benefitted.

• Craft workshop: Digboi College organized a four-day handicraft

workshop from 11th

to 14th

February, 2013 in collaboration with

the “Regional Design and Technical Development Centre, Ministry

of Textiles, Government of India” and 80 students participated.

The workshop consisted of two parts: bamboo-cane work for boys

and block-printing for girls. Two resource persons imparted the

training. After completion of workshop, a competition was

organized where the participants enthusiastically presented their

newly acquired skill using their innovative ideas. An exhibition

was also held and the students exhibited their own creations.

• Student mentoring: A mechanism for students mentoring has been

introduced by the college authority. The students were divided into

some of small groups on random basis and the faculty members are

allotted equal number of students. Thus, the faculty members can

have one to one interaction with the students and try to know their

domestic or personal problems, their hidden talents, their aims and

ambitions etc. The faculty members counsel on prospects and

perspectives of the individual students. This practice makes the

introvert students to extrovert one.

7.3: Best Practices:

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no.

98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional

Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the

core activities of the college.


The college has adopted a number of best practices with pragmatism

and achieved visible impact among the students and the society.

1. Title of the Practice:

Creating environmental consciousness:

• Goal: The future of mankind is closely linked with the future

scenario of the environment. But it is a cause of great concern

that recent years have witnessed a great deal of degradation in

environment. Due to deforestation, man-made pollution,

emission of green house gases from industries, serious effects

have been noticed in global warming, ozone layer depletion,

abrupt climatic changes and thus results in degradation of the

world environment consequent upon which the animal and the

plant kingdom are worst affected. And, if this scenario is

continued unabated, there is not much time for a devastating

calamity. The scientists, the national leaders, the intellectuals

have already conglomerated on various occasions and searched

for well thought out plans to save environment for future

generation. True, these plans and strategies would not come

into effect unless the common people and the young generation

are conscious of this serious issue. Keeping in mind this view,

Digboi College has taken conscious step towards awareness

campaign on creating environmental consciousness among

college fraternity and the common people in its vicinity.

• The context: Digboi College is situated in a backward area and

illiteracy rate is still high. Obviously, to make them aware of

these serious issues some problems are encountered. To carry

out the programmes, a good amount of money is also essential.

Moreover, the faculty members have to bear a burden in

addition to their normal duties. But then, these challenging

issues have been addressed with self-dedication in alleviating

this dreadful issue.

• The practice: The college has endeavoured in creating

environment consciousness among college fraternity and

common mass in its vicinity by organizing several camps as

enumerated in the following tables.

Attempts have been made to develop environmental

consciousness among students by exposing them to environment

related activities, details of which are given below:

Moreover, plantation of trees is done on some occasions like,

“World Environment Day”, “College Foundation Days”, every

year.

• Evidence of Success: The students are highly motivated and

found to take keen interest in environment related programmes.


The neighbouring people also have shown their growing

interest in plantation of trees, checking deforestation and in

conservation of biodiversities.

• Problems Encountered and Resource Required: The College

faces financial in-sufficiency in carrying out the programmes

that has been managed with difficulty. Other resources are not

insurmountable.

• Notes: As the environmental degradation is a world-wide

problem, so every individual, every institution, NGOs must be

involved to ever contain the issue. Digboi College may be a

source of inspiration in taking single step in this venture.


Blood Donation

• Goal:

The very term “donation” has its own significance, a symbol of

generosity ever perceived. Donation of blood to a patient in dire

necessity or in traumatic severity is even most precious of all.

In view of this, organizing blood donation camp by the

institution adds new dimension to it.

• The Context:

Digboi College NCC unit has been organizing such blood

donation camps for the last few years in association with 26

Assam (Independent) Coy, Digboi. The college authority also

extends all possible help in this regard and encourages the adult

students for voluntary donation of blood. Unfortunately, there is

no any blood bank in Digboi and as such the college has to

invite technically expertise persons from Tinsukia Civil

Hospital or Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh for collection of

blood from the donors.

• The Practice:

The college admission form incorporates the provision for

“Blood Group” and contact numbers of the students with

supporting documents. So, this ready reckoner system helps to

call the students with requisite blood group at the time of

emergency. The NCC unit of Digboi College has given much

effort in organizing “Blood Donation” camp on several

occasions,. The NCC unit organized a day long “Blood


Donation” camp on 26-11-2012 on the occasion of NCC Day in

association with 26 Assam (I) Coy. A team of doctors and para-

medical staff of Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh collected

the blood from 50 voluntary donor cadets. The NCC unit also

organized another camp on the occasion of “National Voluntary

Blood Donation Day” on 1st October 2013 in association with

26 Assam (I) Coy NCC and Assam Medical College,

Dibrugarh. 85 cadets came forward for voluntary donation of

blood out of which blood was collected only from 52 cadets by

the doctors and paramedical staff of AMC, Dibrugarh. It needs

mention that Digboi College was ranked 3rd

in contribution of

Voluntary Blood Donation in the year 2013-14. Office of the

state of the Art Model Blood Bank”, Assam Medical College

and Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam awarded “Certificate of

Appreciation” for this achievement.

• Evidence of success:

It may be mentioned with satisfaction that in each “Blood

Donation Camp” more numbers of cadets and students than

targeted came forward for voluntary donation of blood. On

observing this enthusiastic and sacrificial attitude of the NCC

cadets and students, the college authority has decided to

organize “Voluntary Blood Donation Camp” regularly in the

years to come.

• Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The main problem encountered in organizing “Blood Donation

Camp” is that there is no Blood Bank facility at Digboi.

Moreover, the financial involvement is pretty large.

Notwithstanding, the college will organize such camps on

regular basis if possible with more frequencies.

• Notes:

It is a most regular phenomenon that the patients have to face

trouble due to want of available stock of blood pack in the time

of dire necessity. This can be addressed to a greater extent if the

healthy people come forward for voluntary donation of blood

which is undoubtedly the highest service to mankind.


3. Title of the practice:

Campus Audition

• Goal:

Digboi College is situated in a hillock of undulated topography

buttressed with lush green landscape. The college has also

planted trees on the occasions like “College Foundation Day”

and “World Environment Day”. Moreover, it has a botanical

garden, an orchard garden and flower gardens. These attract

varieties of birds, butterflies and other animals. Some of the

faculty members are devoted and spirited to have an audit of

the flora and fauna of the campus with an aim to motivate the

students, and creating an urge for environmental studies among

the college fraternity.

• The Context:

Obviously, the campus auditing of the flora and fauna is a

laborious task, needs patience, prolific knowledge and high

resolution camera of zoom lens. Nevertheless, the members

have been able to do this commendable job with their arduous

skills.

• The Practice:

A few of the faculty members, namely Mr. Kedar Nath Timsina

(Vice-Principal), Dr. Tilak Ch. Dutta (HoD, Botany), Mr. R. R.

Tarinag (Asst. Professor, Zoology), Mr. Gauri Buragohain

(Asst. Professor, English) and Mr. Deborshi Gogoi (Asst.

Professor, Commerce) have been associated with the campus

auditing of the flora and fauna of various species. Till date,

they have identified 157 species of local and migratory birds,

202 species of plants and trees (inclusive of medicinal

varieties) and have also fixed sticker plates with common and

scientific names in most of the trees. It is also audited that the

campus is having 21 nos of various species of orchids. The

Botany department has prepared a handbook on the available

floras of the college campus. The college has also published a

book on “Pictorial Guide of Flora and Fauna of Digboi”. Over

and above these, they have also identified 47 species of snakes

(a few are rare species) within the campus and rescued 34

snakes. The injured snakes have been offered nursing and

handed over to the Forest Department. Photographic collection


and documentation have been made for all these works. They

have also plan to identify the butterflies, insects etc. in the

coming days.

Time constraint of the students as well as the faculty members

is the limitation in carrying out this practice emphatically.

• Evidence of Success:

As a result of the campus auditing and photographic

documentation, the students of Botany and Zoology

departments are much more benefitted. These will help them in

pursuing some projects also. Many of the students have been

trained to identify the venomous or non-venomous snakes by

physical verification and some faculty members as well as

students are being trained in handling the snakes, rescuing and

nursing which would invariably help in conservation of

biodiversity. It is observed that the students have become

curious about the Nature as an impact of this practice.

• Problems Encountered and Resource Required:

In adopting such a practice, financial involvement is inevitable.

No other problem is encountered as the campus is sufficient for

the students, to be explored first.

• Notes:

Single step is the beginning of a long journey. Similarly, such a

native practice may be the key factor in exploring the mystery

of the vast Nature. Empowering the zeal of the students

towards environmental studies, such a practice undoubtedly

plays the role of promoter.


Decentralization of administrative works

• Goal:

The reputation and reliability of an institution is the transparency of

Financial Management. In view of this, college authority

constitutes several sub-committees to look after the specified

functions of these committees independently.


• The context:

The sub-committees are formally approved by the Governing Body

(Management Committee) of the college and hence fully

authorized and supported. As a result, no interference is to be faced

from any corner.

• The Practice:

The Principal constitutes the sub-committees in consultation with

teaching and non-teaching staff. Each sub-committee is comprised

of a few members of the staff including a convener. The Governing

Body approves these committees subsequently for a period of two

years. The Principal is the ex-officio chairman. The convener

convenes the meetings and discusses the related issues in detail and

executes the decisions.


Due to performance of the sub-committees like Building

Construction, general purchases, the college has saved a handsome

amount than estimated or targeted for the purpose.

• Problems encountered and Resources required:

The sub-committees are principle making bodies and utilize the

allocated fund of the college and hence problems are not

encountered. However, the concerned committees prepare budgets,

plan and estimates and make ready for placement in UGC or Govt.

schemes.

• Notes:

Decentralization of the administrative works to the efficient and

collective body results in clean and transparent administrative

system with much reliability. The stake holder specially the staff

members get the opportunity for direct involvement in all round

development of the college.


Financial support to poor and distressed students

• Goal:

The college is situated in a backward area and many of the students

come of poor family. For them higher education is like a day dream

only. In view of this the college and the teaching staff raise funds


to provide financial support to the poor but meritorious students.

Moreover, every effort has been made so that maximum number of

students can enjoy Govt. Scholarships.

• The context:

As the number of students coming from lower income group is

more, so it is really a complicated problem for addressing their

acute hardship and the college has to face a challenging problem.

• The Practice:

The college has created an “Aid Fund” collecting a very nominal

amount from the students annually. A sub-committee constituted

for this Fund invites application from the poor, meritorious

students with proper supporting documents. After screening, the

committee selects a number of genuine students and distribute

cheques among them. The “Digboi College Teachers’ Unit” has

also raised a “Fund” by contributing an amount monthly. The

Teacher Body also adopts similar procedure to disburse the fund

among the selected students. In 2009-10 session 55 numbers of

students have been supported by the institution and 142 numbers of

students were able to get Govt. Scholarship. Due to financial

constraints limited number of students has benefitted. The college

has also granted free-ship to some students from its own fund.


Due to this financial support many students are able to pursue for

higher studies. Some of them have been graduated as a result of

this practice.

• Problems encountered and Resources Required:

The college and the Teachers’ Body have to face a lot of problems

in generating the Fund to a desired level. Moreover, the number of

students from lower income group is also high. So, the quantum of

support is not sufficient.

• Notes:

In India many families are still below poverty line and at the same

time literacy rate is not satisfactory. In this context, more financial

support from any organization may catalyze the process.


Technology up-gradation

• Goal:

The whole world had changed suddenly with the advent of

information technology and a new era began. The world had been


transformed to a global village and at control of a finger tip. In

pursuit of this, computer literacy has appeared at fast track and

foremost frontier at present. To cope up with these all, the college

has also given much impetus in this front.

• The context:

Most of the teaching and non-teaching staff were not well versed in

computer knowledge. The college had to face some difficulties in

this challenging issue and had to address these problems in

upgrading this practice.

• The Practice:

A few years back the college had been running with manual system

in the office, library and the departments too. As the staff were

lacking knowledge of computer, so the college planned first to

literate the office staff as well as the teaching staff with computer

knowledge. Computer literacy programme with designed syllabus

were organized and imparted training by some of our own faculty

members from computer department and others. The official works

had been completely computerized by installing some softwares.

The office staffs were also deputed for training to enhance their

competency. INFLIBNET supported SOUL software had also been

installed in the library for data management and the librarian was

deputed for training. Internet facility has also been provided to the

office, library, teachers’ common room and all departments with

free access. Very shortly all the departments will have internet

facility. Moreover, an internet browsing centre for students with

free access is all set to ready for opening at the library. UGC

sponsored NME broad band connections were provided to 15

faculty members and 5 for students browsing centre. INFLIBNET

supported N – LIST facility had also been provided to almost all

the faculty members. The college possesses 70 computer sets at

present and 20 more sets to be added very shortly. The college had

already established a centralized computer centre-cum laboratory.

The college installed CCTV camera in main entrance gate,

administrative building and in some important spots of the

buildings. Intercom facility had been installed to every department,

office, library and the college canteen. From next year the results

of internal examinations will be available on-line. Setting up of

departmental self service portal (DSSP) is in process. The college

has a plan to install ‘Community Radio’. The manual attendance


register of the staff had been replaced by a face detector biometric

machine. An advance litho machine (copy printer), data card

machine 800 (For I/Card), LCD projectors were purchased.

• Evidence of Success:

It needs mention that the college has been successful in excelling

technological upgradation though not to the targeted scale of

height. Almost all the faculty members and office members have

been trained the computer skills to a satisfactory level. Teachers

and students avail free access to internet.

• Problems Encountered and Resource Required:

The college has the target of transforming the class rooms with

SMART BOARD facility for enhancing ICT enabled environment,

the implementation of which needs a huge fund and thus problems

encountered.

• Notes:

The college had to adopt the uphill – task of bringing the most

computer – unskilled staff members to a certain level of skilled

ones through computer literacy programmes. This might be the

source of inspiration not only on the technology upgradation but in

some other unveiled aspects.


Human Resource Management

• Goal:

The college aims at assessing the human power requirements for

teaching staff, office staff, library staff, fourth grade staff and

hostel menials periodically and to recruit as soon as possible if any

shortfall is noticed. The IQAC monitors their performances and

obtain feed back through students. The IQAC plans for staff

development programmes and also provides necessary incentives

within its capacity.

• The practice:

The learners may be benefited when they get full supports from the

administrative staff, teaching and hostel staff. The classes must be

regular, reading materials be course oriented and easily

borrowable, laboratory be well equipped along with skilled bearers.


The IQAC keeps close contact with the departments, the library

and the hostels and assesses the man power needed. If any shortage

is found then brings it to the notice of the authority and suggests

for immediate recruitment. The authority also takes necessary steps

to fill up the vacancies owing to retirement of the incumbents or

some other reasons. The college being a provincialised one and

certain procedures are to be followed and as such the recruitment

may be delayed. Nevertheless, during this period the authority

recruits for the posts locally on ad – hoc basis by paying salaries

from own fund so that the system is not disrupted.

In some cases like hostel menials staff, watchman, cleaner, mali

(gardener), security personnel, the Govt do not sanction any post.

In spite of that the college has appointed these non sanctioned posts

from its self generated fund for smooth functioning of the college

in general and for the benefit of the students in particular.

The IQAC pays patient hearing to the complaints or collects

through complaint box related to any matter of administrative staff

and redresses to the best. The teaching faculties have been assessed

by the students through a standard format of questionnaire,

analyses and identify the specific areas of weakness and intimate

the faculties for their self rectification.

The college has always encouraged the faculties to participate in

orientation, short–term course, refresher courses for their

knowledge up-gradation. The teachers are also encouraged to

procure research projects, FIP for M. Phil, Ph. D. for their career

progression. The teachers are also encouraged to attend and present

papers in National, International Seminars and publish books and

chapters in edited volumes.

• Evidence of success

Due to this practice, the vacancies created in the teaching, non-

teaching and fourth grade staff have been filled up at an early date.

If not due to lengthy procedure of the Govt., the posts have been

filled up on ad–hoc basis from the self – generated college fund.

A large no. of teachers has been facilitated to attend State/

National/ International seminars and present papers. The teaching

faculties have also been facilitated to participate in Refresher,

Orientation, short term courses for their knowledge up-gradation,

to carry out research works for their carrier progression.


The non teaching staff and 4th

grade staff have also been deputed

for training to enhance their work efficiencies and skill

development.

• Problems Encountered and resources required:

As the Govt. rules are to be followed strictly, it takes time to fill up

the posts immediately and as such the process is delayed. Again

when the teaching faculties have to participate in Refresher/

Orientation/Short term courses, the classes may be hampered.

Notwithstanding, the college authority solves these problems.

During the absence of any faculty, the classes have been managed

without disruption by the other faculties. In case of delayed filling

up of vacancies, the authority appoints on ad hoc basis for which

the college has to bear the requisite payments for this purpose from

its self generated fund consequent upon resource mobilization.

• Notes

In any educational institution, the beneficiaries must be targeted

upon the students. The classes must be regularly held, the syllabi

be completed and revised if possible and should get all possible

help from office/ library/ technical staff. The IQAC strictly follows

to extend utmost care for the students career progression through

this practice.


Extension activities

• Goal:

In addition to normal academic responsibilities the teaching

community has some social responsibilities too as an elite group in

bringing up the society to a level of well being. Thus, the motto of

extension activities has primarily been ingrained.

• The Context:

Digboi College takes up some extension activities in collaboration

with Assam Science Society, Digboi Branch. About 80% of the life

members of the “Society” are from our teaching and non teaching

staff. Digboi College authority also extends full support to this

organization and encourages to carry out programmes in various

places in the vicinity of Digboi. Eventually Digboi College and

Assam Science Society, Digboi Branch work symbiotically for the


betterment of the general masses and students in particular. So to

say, no challenging issues have to be addressed in designing and

implementing this practice rather could be practiced in an

invigorative way.

• The Practice:

At the initiative of some of the faculty members “Digboi Science

Society” had been established in 1995 as a branch of Assam

Science Society, Guwahati and was rechristened as “Assam

Science Society, Digboi Branch” later on. The science society had

MoU with Digboi College Teachers’ Unit under the umbrella of

Digboi College and since then has been undertaking many

programmes as social responsibility in a collaborative way. Just to

name a few;

i. Organized “State Level Science Exhibition”, “Teachers’

Training Workshop for the teachers of Tinsukia District”,

Popular talks inviting some renowned scientists, Free health

check-up camps in some village areas, various awareness

programmes on health, hygiene, drug abuse etc. in the

vicinity of Digboi.

ii. Organized National Children Science Congress (NCSC

Tinsukia District Chapter) twice (2006 and 2011)

successfully among the students of the district.

iii. Observe “National Science Day” every year in association

with the neighbouring institutions to popularize science.

iv. Observe “World Environment Day” every year to make

aware the people of various environmental issues and

environmental protection, about pollution menaces and to

check pollution, conserve biodiversity etc. Organize

meetings, rallies with slogans and placards against the ill

practices prevailing like superstitious and unscientific mind

sets.

v. Organize “District Level Prize Money Science Quiz

Competition” among the students of class IX-XII standards,

art competition, debate and extempore speech competitions

etc.

vi. A few of the members have been expertise in identifying

venomous and non-venomous snakes and imparting training

to some students and local people. They have been also

rescuing snakes, caring the injured ones and thus protecting

some rare species also.


vii. Digboi College Women Welfare Centre (DCWWC) has

also been rendering yeomen’s service by organizing flood

relief camp, free health check-up camp, child care camp,

Food processing and Fruit preservation training to Self-

Help Groups etc.

viii. The college has been conducting the State Level Chemistry

Olympiad among the students of class IX-XII standards

under the aegis of Department of Chemistry, Gauhati

University.


The college has been able to achieve some results by adopting this

practice if not to the desired scale of height. Some of the students

have earned laurels in state level quiz competitions, competitive

entrance examinations etc. One major success needs mention that

the people contact our faculty members if and when snakes enter

their residences or have a glance at their campuses. The

neighbouring localities have become conscious about the

environmental pollution and raise their voice and react over these

issues.

• Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

With the introduction of the semester system by the university the

faculty members have to devote more time for their primary duties

which obviously encounters problems to some extent. Moreover, it

cannot be denied of the involvement of a huge fund for effective

implementation. But then, the college fraternity is not lagging

behind in fulfilling the urge for their social responsibility.

• Notes:

Just as drops of water can make the vast sea, so by adopting such

practice as a stepping stone may ripple far and wide with

snowballing effect.


Career Counselling

• Goal

The success of an institution is largely determined by the

progression of their students into higher levels of studies and

their entry into service. The goals of the career counseling are:

• To enable students to enhance employability


• To provide career opportunities

• Developing self reliant individuals

• The context:

It has been often noticed that students make wrong career

choices or achieve their chosen option either because of their

ignorance about – job avenues open in front of them or the

necessary line of study to be taken to enter into the desired

choice.

• The Practice:

The college has a cell for Career Counseling which has been

constantly guiding the students. Students are exposed to

different career options and the necessary line of study to be

taken up for pursuing a particular job option, by competent

persons. General counseling sessions are organized where

expert career counselors update students about different

avenues. Students are selected into relatively smaller groups

according to their stream, subject, inclination and preference

and separate counseling for entry into different fields are being

arranged for these groups. Intensive coaching for students

inclined to for entry into banking and allied services was

organized from 19/02/2013 to 22/02/2013 for 4 days.

Observing the over-whelming respond of the students the

college organized another eight day coaching programme from

23/09/2013 to 30/09/2013. Dipankar Sharma and Diksha

Bhardwaj of EIMT, Guwahati acted as resource person for both

these coaching programmes where 160 students of 2nd

and 4th

semester (science and commerce) were benefitted.

A programme for brief overview of the selection for Indian Air

Force recruitment rally conducted by Indian Air Force was

arranged for BSc 1st semester students having Physics,

Chemistry and Mathematics on 24/09/2012. Coaching class for

entry into administrative services are held on from time to time.

Mr. Jogesh Baruah, ACS, ADC, Tinsukia, Mr. A. Gyani, IAS,

ADC, Tinsukia acted as resource person for such a coaching

class held on 11/08/2012.


Students of different streams are found to be more focused

about what they want to do after their graduation and the

corresponding line of study.


• Problem Encountered and Resource Required

The main resources required for organizing a coaching

programme are the competent resource persons and the

requisite fund involvement. The college has to face problems in

both the aspects as there is no competent resource persons

Strength:

• The faculty members are dedicated, competent and can cope with

changing demands of the course curriculum.

• Internet facility is available.

• Organizing State Level Chemistry Olympiad under Gauhati University

every year.

Weakness:

• Infrastructural facilities are not enough.

• Due to Roster System compliances in case of appointment, one post of

Assistant Professor has been lying vacant for a few years.

• Students enrolled in Major and general courses are of average merit

and some from lower income group, thus, the drop-out rate is still at

margin.

.

Opportunity:

The college is located in an area surrounding with Oil and Coal

industries, tea gardens and forest resources. Hence, there is enough

scope to open some courses related to these sectors that have every

possibility for generating employability. The chemistry may be the key

subject in exploiting these opportunities.

Challenges:

The challenges are

• The faculties must be able in dwindling drop-out rate, enhancing more

progression of students to higher studies.

• The faculties must create an atmosphere of research works by

undertaking major and minor projects. Students be inculcated to carry


out innovative projects that may lead them for attraction towards

research and development (R & D) than the tendency for white collar

jobs.

Future plan:

The department has plans:

• To introduce PG / PG diploma courses.

• To organize national seminars

• To organize a workshop conglomerated with some eminent scientists,

chemists from the industries and public sectors to discuss the emerging

issues of applied chemistry for student motivation.

Strength:

• All the six faculties are very active, dedicated, co-operative and hard

working and thereby it contributes towards making the department

strong and dynamic.

• The collection of books in the departmental library is very useful for

the students to clear their doubts and have in-depth knowledge on the

subject matter and expand their horizon of knowledge.

• The department is equipped with internet connection that enables the

faculty members as well as to the students to keep them updated.

• The department has a tradition to give practical-base knowledge

through industry visit, filled survey, etc.

• The department is actively involved in organizing various conferences,

Seminars, Workshops, Field-surveys, industry visits, etc. in different

capacities from time to time.


Weakness:

• Lack of Financial help to the poor students taking admission in to the

Department creates a problem to continue their studies and thereby

increasing the dropout rate.

• Student’s teacher ratio is very high & big class room also hampers the

individual attention of the students due to shortage of adequate faculty

members.

• Department face difficulties in organizing Seminars, students’

counseling, talks, Symposia, Departmental meetings and research

related activities due to shortage of separate Conference Hall.

Opportunity:

• As the college is situated in extreme Northeastern part of the country

adorned with natural treasures, there is an ample scope to develop

skill-based professional courses in Tourism, Entrepreneurship and

other allied subjects linked with commerce education.

• The department has high potential for developing ‘industry-academy

interface’ by initiating industrial research, internship, etc. as the area is

surrounded with industries like IOCL, OIL, Coal India Ltd, and other

reputed tea industries.

• The area being very close to Indo-Myanmar border and Government’s

initiatives towards Look-East Policy would open up ample

opportunities in expansion of commerce education and service beyond

borders.

Challenges:

• Due to rapid changes initiated by globalization, the course materials in

commerce education need frequent up-gradation. Availability of

quality study materials with up-to-date data sometimes becomes

difficult.

• As most of the students are from economically poor backgrounds,

continuing their education till graduation becomes quite difficult due to

their engagement in economical activities at an early age. This is a

matter of concern as it is contributing towards increase in the drop-out

ratio of the students from the college.

• Growing number of applicants for commerce education every year is a

matter of concern for the department as well as the college authority as

the seat capacity is quite limited and there is a shortage of adequate

Strength:

Existing faculties are hardworking and dutiful. The laboratory and

Library of the department is well equipped for the present course. Major

course has been introduced from last year.

Weakness:

Number of faculty and technical staff is not sufficient as per norms. The

laboratory is not sufficient for research work.

Opportunity:

New skill based and career oriented courses can be introduced with the

existing facilities.

Challenges:

The major challenge of the department is to increase the number of

students by motivating the students about the scope of the subject. The

local industry IOCL also appoints the students having the subject

combination of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics which discourages

the students to take the subject.

Future Plan:

The department plans to:

a) Organize a National level seminar.

b) Improving the in house research work by acquiring UGC and DST

projects.

c) Introduce new career oriented course.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future Plan:

Strength: Geography as a subject in academic curriculum is quite recent

in Assam. But still few colleges offer geography as a core subject.

And Digboi College is one of them. In H.S. level it was started in

Digboi College in 1999 and degree level in 2002. From the

beginning till date the curve shows a rising trend regarding result

and number of students. The department is endowed with well

equipped two classrooms and a teacher student interactive learning

environment which diminishes the hesitation and shyness of the

students and help in making a good personality in the students.

Weakness: If we talking about the weakness of the department, from

beginning till date the department has only one faculty. Most of

the students are economically backward. And as far as the subject

is concerned it required a number of practical instruments and the

students have to prepare the field report by their own and complete

it at their own cost. It is the reason that hampers the students to get

a free flow regarding admission to the subject.


Opportunities: The department has also poses some sorts of

opportunities to the students to know the world and to improve the

analytical skills through the way of field report writing.

State government initiates a necessary step to incorporate the

geography as a compulsory subject in high school level which

fulfils the employment opportunities to our students. Moreover

they can prepare for the competitive examinations.

Challenges: The department also have some challenges like- the

students comes from the poor family could not bear the expenses

required to study geography and has every chance of increasing

drop outs without completing the course. In Spite of this, we are

looking forward to create a full-fledged department and a

professional course to improve the learning process of the students

and to make the students fit for the professional world. Hope the

above mentioned requirements could fulfil our thoughts in future.

Future Plan: The newly established subject has some sort of problems.

Regarding this, some vision documents has been given below for

degree to P.G. level within 10 years.

1) One practical lab with all required practical instruments.

2) One video recording/still photography camera for educational

tour.

3) Essential equipment for geographical study like satellite

imagery, toposheet, models, thematic maps, etc.

4) A centre for GIS and Remote Sensing studies with an

infrastructure and required machineries and related software.

• Convenor, Organizing Committee, Inter College Badminton

Competition.

• Member, Sub-committee (Teaching, Learning and Evaluation),

NAAC






Strength:

• The faculty members are dedicated, competent and can cope with


• Team work among faculty members.

• Internet facility for teachers and students.

Weakness:

• Infrastructural facilities are not up to date.

• Number of students enrolled in Major course is not as per

expectation.

• Students enrolled are of average merit and some from lower

income group, thus, the dropout rate is still at margin.

.

Opportunity:

• As Mathematics plays a vital role in diverse field of study in the

present context and students of this region are not found interested

in going for a career in Mathematics, there is a scope to introduce

career oriented courses related to direct applicability of

Mathematics and Computer Science.

• There is a scope to establish a Centre for regular short term course

on Teaching of Mathematics for school teachers under State

Government’s Scheme as there is need for such training in this

region.

Challenges:

The challenges are:

• The faculties must take effective effort in minimizing dropout rate

and enhancing more progression of students to higher studies.

• The faculties must create an atmosphere of research works by

undertaking major and minor projects.

Future plan:


• To introduce PG courses.

• To construct a mathematical lab

• To initiate academic exchange programmes with neighbouring

colleges.

* Chalk and board, Power Point presentation, providing study material

etc.

* Group discussion, seminars and assignments among students to


* Remedial classes for weaker and slow learners identified by their

performance in the unit tests, sessional exams, class tests etc.

* After completion of each unit, expected questions and patterns are


* Tutorial classes are also taken to prepare students for final exam.




Participation of students in NCC, Students Science Club, Faculty

member as convener of National Service Scheme, Faculty member as

convener for Entry into Services and Career Counseling cell, College

Week, Advisor DCSU, Involvement in DCSU Election, Seminars,

Workshop etc.


Strength:

* Most of the students are serious, sincere and obedient to teachers in

both theory and practical classes

* Students are ICT oriented.

* Face to face interaction with students.

* Team work among experience and dedicated faculty members.

* All faculty members are permanent

* Four faculty members have awarded Ph. D. degree

Weakness:

* The existing faculty members need to manage the higher secondary

section in addition to the degree courses. This imposes a little burden

to the respective faculties.

* Shortage of teachers since a long time hampers completion of course

in time.

* No individual study room for teachers in the department.

* Salary for part-time teachers being very nominal.

* Weak linkage with industries.

* Lake of adequate infrastructure including modern techniques.

Opportunity:

* Many industries like IOCL, OIL, CIL, tea etc. are present in the

adjoining areas. The college as well as science departments can tie

up with these companies to produce skilled and efficient workers and

may absorb our students after completion of their courses.

* We have research facilities in our department as there is an ongoing

UGC funded Major Research Project.

* Students are given exposure to departmental seminars, group

discussion, organizing fresher and parting social activities etc. for

their all round personality development

Challenge:

* Good students are not interested to study general course.

* The Govt. takes time to grant concurrence for the appointment of

teachers. This affects the smooth functioning of the departmental

activities. So, authority must take action for immediate appointment

of teachers.

* Attract larger number of students to offer Physics as main subject.

* Try to minimize dropout rate of students.


Future plan:

* P. G. Course

* Good laboratory having all facilities.

* To undertake major and minor research projects.

workshops / seminar) with external experts.:


Recently a talk on “HORNBILL; FARMER OF THE FOREST” by Mr.

Naniwadekar has helped the Students enriching their knowledge

specially in the interaction session.

33. Teaching method adopted to improve student learning.:

From green board to overhead projector and now with LCD and also

with power point computer display help the students to improve their

learning techniques. Students now a day adapt nicely the most advanced

technology to materialize their conceptual thoughts into pin point

answering during the end semester examinations leading to raise the

academic profile of the department.


extension activities.:

All the faculty members do not stick only to classroom teaching instead

we understand our social responsibilities. That is the only reason for all

our departmental colleagues to join in a local NGO, Assam Science

Society, Digboi branch and became the life members of the said NGO.

All of us do not hesitate to participate in almost all the programmes of

the local NGO like “HEALTH CHECK-UP” camps in village areas,

”BLOOD DONATION CAMPS”, polythene free zone drive and other

awareness programmes.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plan.:

STRENGTH: Strength of the department depends on the following

fields:

(i) Academic

(ii) Students’ enrollment

(iii) Infra structure

(iv) Departmental Library

(v) ICT facility

(i) Academic: With the dedicated efforts of our four competent

departmental colleagues, we have been able to provide a congenial

academic atmosphere among the students. Students take active

part in each and every aspect of academic excellence. The

outcome of these continuous efforts of student-teacher-parent

pyramid have been well reflected in the form of brilliant results

by the Major students since the inception of our Major courses

in the year 1993. This endless journey of academic brilliance helps

not only in drawing the attention of the authority but also

establishes a good reputation about the department. This skyhigh

expectation of the authority acts as a stimulus in achieving

sustainable academic brilliance.


(ii) Students’ enrollment: During the period of admission, maximum

number students opt for studying in zoology major courses.

Manyfold increase in students’ influx to our department

encourages our departmental colleagues which compelled us to

increase seat capacity from near five to twenty eight numbers. Last

year only the number of zoology major seeking students reached a

staggering figure of 77. Out of which only 28 numbers of students

were allowed to take admission.

(iii) Infrastructure: The newly constructed zoology department has

four numbers of well decorated rooms, two of those are utilized as

classrooms and the other two rooms are meant for practical

purposes. One of the practical rooms is furnished with three

granite topped, water and gas connected octagonal tables which

can accommodate twenty four numbers of students at a time and

the other room has also granite topped, sink fitted rectrangular

biochemical tables which can provide the seatting arrangement of

24 numbers of students.

(iv) Departmental Library: Department has its own library with a

collection of more than 150 number of text related books. The

books are accessed by both teachers and students with the help of

two separate issue and return registers, one for teachers and the

other for the students. The entire process of issue and return is

maintained by the HOD of the department.

(v) ICT Facility: Department is well equipped with internet

connectivity. It has its own set of a desktop computer set and a

printer. Both students and teachers avail this facility, specially

students access this facility at the time of completion of their

projects. Beside these, the department has projector, over head

projector also.

WEAKNESS: The lack of research activity leading to Ph. D. has been

sorted out as one of the major weaknesses in our department. Since none

of our departmental colleagues has been a Ph. D. holder, which leads our

inability to bring the Major Research Projects. Another area of weakness

happens to be the incorporation of “BIO-INFORMATICS” as one of the

papers in the recently introduced SEMESTER SYSTEM syllabus of

semester VI major courses. Due to the lack of expertise and also the

shortage of one teacher we are unable to increase the number of seats in

our department.

OPPORTUNITY: With the dogma of academic brilliance by our major

students, we thought of utilizing this opportunity by demanding the

errection of new building of the department of zoology from the

authority. The college authority with its positive attitude has constructed

and handed over the newly constructed department of zoology which has


started functioning since 2015. The natural lush green environment of

the college has become an automatic habitat choice for many flora and

fauna. Once this opportunity arises we immediately thought of utilizing

this opportunity into action by introducing a certificate course in

“WILD-LIFE CONSERVATION” under career orientation course.

Entire credit goes to the Principal Dr. Dip Saikia for bringing up this

COC from the UGC along with its financial allocation. The course has

been in operation since 2015.

CHALLENGES: Our departmental major threat comes from the

number of DROP-OUTS by the newly admitted batch of students. The

level of drop-outs has been increasing day by day. The reason for

increased drop-out level is noway related to the malfunctioning of the

existing councelling system by the councellors of the institution but the

students find difficulties in acclimatizing themselves with the recently

introduced TDC SEMESTER SYSTEM by the Dibrugarh University.

They search for other easier options for the completion of their degree

courses. Last year, eight number of girl students left our department and

joined in B. Sc. NURSING courses. To overcome this threat, the

departmental colleagues have taken the increased DROP-OUT as

challenges and future plan to decrease DROP-OUT level into minimum.

We have a mentoring system for semester I courses, where we could

spend maximum time listening their problems closely.

Future Plan:

I along with my departmental colleagues have thought and sorted out the

departmental future plan effectively. The entire future plan of the

department incorporates the idea of improving the method of quality

teaching and learning processes. Since the natural lush green campus of

our college automatically becomes the habitat choice for more than 160

number of avian species, innumerable number of butterflies, insects,

variety of mammals and other fauna, earlier we thought of conserving

the flora and fauna of the college in its natural habitat. To make aware of

the students about the importance of conservation strategy, one of our

departmental colleagues Mr. R. R. Tariang has been able to start a six

month duration certificate course on “Wild-Life Conservation” under

Career Orientation Course since December 2014. The sustainability of

the course will definitely help us to go for fulltime degree course in

“Wild-Life Biology”.

We have a plan to open up butterfly garden, bird nesting colonies for

endangered spices, fishery, sericulture host plant nursery, one year

diploma in “Wildlife Conservation Biology” and animal rescue center

etc. in future.
