The action plans regarding curriculum design and development are

prepared by the Tripura University time to time. For effective implementation,

department-wise senior teachers are invited by the University in

meetings/workshops of curricula development where the faculty members play

an active role to formulate the action plan. The college has an effective mechanism

of implementation of curricula through its academic committee. The committee

comprises of faculty members from various disciplines i.e. Science stream/ Social-

science stream and Commerce stream. The responsibilities of the committee

include designing academic calendar, preparation of master routine, monitoring

the day-to-day academic activities and performing academic audit to ensure

effective implementation of the curriculum. The academic committee motivates the

faculty members to utilize ICT mode of teaching/using e-learning resources for

beginning of the academic session where they discuss about the distribution of the

topics of respective syllabus among the available faculty members along with

number of classes required and estimates the tentative dates to finish the assigned

module and prepare a final layout of the same. Then finally a departmental routine

is prepared in line with the master routine and displays the same in the notice

boards. The HoD’s of each department along with the faculty members help the

Internal examination Committee to conduct internal evaluation as per the

academic calendar in due time. Faculty members also take extra classes/tutorial

Introduction:

The Dasaratha Deb Memorial College has started its journey on 24th

November, 1979 at Government Higher Secondary School Khowai with only 14

students. The college was affiliated to Calcutta University, West Bengal. The

foundation stone of the college building was laid by Lt. Dasaratha Deb, the then

Education Minister, Government of Tripura in 1987. The earlier name of this college

was Government Degree College, Khowai, which was renamed as Dasaratha Deb

Memorial College in 2000. It is a government degree college offering Bachelor’s

degree in Honours and Pass categories in Science, Arts and Commerce streams. This

institution is one of the largest institutions in the state of Tripura which offers

degrees in all three streams. The impetus to the development of the College took

place since 2008, when a massive drive for reformation and automation was initiated

by the faculty and staff of the College. Since then, the college is regularly moving

towards expansion.

The geographical location of this institution placed it under rural category

despite a fact, that Khowai has been one of the newly formed districts in Tripura.

The location of this college is at an ideal place in Khowai town. This institution caters

to the needs of the students belonging to Scheduled Tribe community at large, along

with other communities. This institution provides an innumerable contribution in

the development of higher education in Khowai. Despite several economic and

developmental obstacles, the status of higher education in Tripura has risen to an

appreciable level. DDMC has become one such avenue for this kind of development

as far as, Khowai is concerned. The student’s strength in this college has kept on

increasing with the passing of time. The government of Tripura has provided

adequate support for the development of this college. A new administrative block

Dasaratha Deb Memorial College: A SWOC Analysis


and a new library and classroom block has been constructed in 2011, which is being

used at present. The construction of boundary wall of the college is under progress.

The college receives grant in aid from University Grants Commission for the general

and infrastructural development. The college as a constituent of the Directorate of

Higher Education, Government of Tripura receives salaries of the staff from the

government of Tripura and also receives fund for general development.

It is no doubt a fact that, the Dasaratha Deb Memorial College is a biggest seat

of learning in Khowai District. A new college has been established in another sub-

division under district Khowai nevertheless, Dasaratha Deb Memorial College is still

drawing the attention of students from every nook and corner since, it offers a

spectrum of courses irrespective of gender, geographical location, social & economic

strata. During the year 2013-14, 2090 students are enrolled in various disciplines

exhibiting a typical example of multi-disciplinary co-educational institute. Besides

formal education, the college was in logistical partnership with Tripura State

Council for Science and technology for executing one year certificate course of

Entrepreneurship Development Program specifically on Computer/IT domain and

also initiated short-term certificate course on Fundamental of Computer

Applications for in-house students. In the present academic session i.e. from 2014-15

sessions the college has adopted semester system along with other Government

Degree colleges in Tripura. The affiliating university i.e. Tripura University is

implementing Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and has already included various

upcoming subjects which will increase the employability of the students. Our

endeavor is to take Higher Education out of traditional contours and make it more

job and market oriented, accessible to all segments of society, ensuring gender equity

and increasing rate of employability. In the current academic session the college has

received the approval of Physical Education Pass Course and is expecting approval

in Honours Course in the subjects viz., Human Physiology, Botany and Zoology.


Not to bolster the perfection, a SWOC analysis shall provide a pragmatic view

of the institution:

Strength:

1. The college is the oldest college of Khowai district of the state. It caters to a

large number of students (2090) in the district belonging to all caste and creed

hailing inclusive education policy.

2. The college has an adequate area of 8.59 acres.

3. The college has four buildings namely Physical Science, Humanities, Bio-

science and Administrative Building.

4. The college has one beautiful sports ground, and a well furnished canteen.

5. The faculty strength is 46 among which number of Associate Professor is 01,

Assistant Professors is 26 and that of Post Graduate Teachers is 19.

6. The college offers Under Graduate Courses in Science, Arts and Commerce

streams comprised of 17 subjects and two certificate courses.

7. Out of 17 subjects the college offers Honours Courses in 12 subjects.

8. The College has campus-LAN and Wi-Fi connectivity (limited area)

functioning for round the clock and internet facility available of 10Mbps

broadband (under NMEICT project) and one 512 Kbps WI-max internet

connectivity.

9. All the departments have computers and internet connectivity.

10. The central library has customized Library management software and

digitization process is going on.

11. The College has four (04) smart classrooms equipped with projectors and PA

systems.

12. Faculty members are involved in research activities.


Weakness:

1. The catchment area of the college constitutes a sizeable chunk of economically

low income group which acts as an impediment/key hurdle in registering

their names for enrolment in college. Although college tries its best and

within its financial resources to attract such students by way of providing

financial assistance/scholarships/post-matric scholarship out of different

funds and by approaching state social welfare department.

2. Most of the departments are facing a shortage of faculty members. The

average student teacher ratio is 1:45 which exhibits the weakness.

3. A few Smart-classrooms are to be equipped with digital boards for more

effective interactive classes.

4. Unavailability of technical staff (non-teaching) for all Science and Computer

Science departments.

5. Shortage of trained staff in the Central Library affects the maintenance of

library related procedures.

6. Shortage of library staff affects the functioning of the library.

7. Shortage of Class-rooms in Arts and Science blocks.

8. College doesn’t have any Auditorium for organizing any big functions.

9. College doesn’t have adequate modern sports equipment.

10. Shortage of teaching as well as non-teaching staff quarters.

11. Problem of drinking water and sanitation.

12. Departments are not equipped with books for ready-reference during college

hours.


Opportunities:

1. If number of teachers is increased the students will get the actual academic

benefit.

2. If number of efficient ministerial staff is increased the official work will run

smoothly which will ultimately help the college academic environment.

3. Auditorium in the college campus is urgently required for maintaining

cultural awareness and over all development of the students of the college.

4. If skilled Laboratory Assistants are employed in the college, the science

students will be benefited in their practical courses.

5. Building of teachers staff quarters are required for mitigating the problem of

teachers’ accommodation.

6. Increase in class rooms will boost the academic atmosphere of the college.

7. Enhancement of research activities.

8. Strategic priorities and initiatives to enhance faculty excellence.

Challenges:

1. If the college does not get proper infrastructure the meritorious students may

move to colleges in neighboring areas.

2. The competitive ability may decline if students do not get proper facility and

proper attention from faculty.

3. The employability ratio of graduate students.

4. Physical infrastructure is not in line with the growth in enrolment.

5. Insufficient & costly transport facilities from remote villages are leading to low

attendance of students.


6. Most of the students belong to the economically backward sections of society

who have to work for their daily bread and find it difficult to attend the

classes regularly.

7. There has been a lack of basic skills of English language among the students.

4.3.5 How does the institution facilitate extensive use of ICT resources

including development and use of computer-aided teaching/ learning

materials by its staff and students?

The institution actively promotes and encourages the faculty members

to give lectures in the ICT enabled classrooms so that the students can be

matter. Moreover, the teachers also use PowerPoint presentations to

demonstrate and explain intricate subject matter and also giving popular

lectures. Students are also motivated to give lectures on their own during

technologies deployed (access to on-line teaching - learning resources,

independent learning, ICT enabled classrooms/learning spaces etc.) by the

Access to on-line teaching - learning resources: Access to online teaching-learning

resources has aided many teachers to get a look at some lectures form the

eminent academicians all over the country and abroad. Some teachers even

display the lectures in the smart classrooms to the students and later discuss

with the students about how much they have grasped and learnt. The online

access has also led to the use of research articles and reviews by several

teachers to explain some parts of curricula which are not found in the

commonly used textbooks.

Independent learning: Access to internet and the influx of journals and new

edition books has encouraged several students towards independent learning.

This has led to the creation of a strong relationship between teachers and


students and the establishment of an academic environment that have a

positive effect on the focusing of memory, attention and problem-solving

skills of the students. The institution has found the following benefits of

independent learning: a) Improved academic performance; b) Greater student

awareness of their limitations and their ability to manage them.

ICT enabled classrooms/learning spaces: The use of ICT enabled classrooms have

contributed to the academic growth of the College. A number of teachers are

delivering their lectures by PowerPoint presentations, WebPages and research

papers. This has played a very important role in the motivation and increased

the attendance in classes.

All the above mentioned techniques in association with traditional chalk-

blackboard, educational charts and model demonstration teaching has helped

the Institution towards building a better teaching-learning process which has

not only enriched the students but also inspired the faculty members. These

activities have resulted in a student centric teaching-learning environment

and at the same time gradually transforming teachers into facilitators.

7.2 Innovations

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.

Some of the innovations that have created a positive impact on the

functioning of the College are given below:

Establishment of departmental libraries: This was started with a

handful of books that were given as specimen copies by a

publisher. In the last three years, as the purchase of books

increased, more books were added to the departmental libraries.

Subscription of printed journals: This has renewed the interest of the

faculties towards research activities and as many as eight teachers

were motivated to submitting MRP to UGC-NERO.

Establishment of Computer enclave in the central library: Both the

teachers and students can avail of internet facilities for their

academic pursuits.


Access to e-resources: Subscription to e-resources like INFLIBNET

and British Council Library has ensured accesses to large number

of books and journals that were not available before.

Purchase of scientific equipments: This has enriched the Science & IT

departments and has been a great help in imparting quality

practical knowledge as well as carrying out project work in the

laboratory.

Setting aside of classrooms earmarked as Seminar/Conference Hall in Bio

Science Block: So far many classes and discussions were held in this

hall which gives the students an opportunity to learn in audio-

visual mode making learning more effective and interesting.

Establishment of internet connectivity in different blocks of the College:

This has not only helped the faculties but also the students are

getting access to online teaching and subject resources.

Library is in process of automation by software of Orell-Honeycomb: This

will enable the students and teachers alike to access the library

database from any section of the College and also can place a

demand for issue of a particular book.

A number of blackboards have been replaced by green glass boards and few

LCD projectors with screen. The faculties are encouraged to use dust

free chalks and OHP techniques for teaching so necessary to keep

the environment eco-friendly.

Installation of audio system in the large classrooms: Most of the

students of the in Social Science disciplines opt for a few particular

subjects resulting in crowded classes. They have to be

accommodated in a number of sections. Installation of audio

system enables the faculties to address a larger strength of students

especially which facilitates class room teaching.


Setting up smart classrooms: The students are getting access to

teaching by ICT enabled resources and thereby improving the

teaching-learning environment.

Providing drinking water facility to all blocks of the College: This has

given drinking water facility to all the people inside the campus.

Organizing/participating in-campus and off-campus extension and

outreach programmes through the NSS unit and student volunteers:

Increased student awareness about environment and local

community which has made them more responsible towards the

Society.

Formation of Alumni association, Parents Teachers Association etc.: The

College can get regular feedbacks from the stakeholders related to

the development of the college.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format

Which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional

Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities

of the College.

Best Practice 1: Academic Quality Assurance

Background: The College caters to a huge cross section of students from all parts

of the state. Majority of the students come from poorer section of the society.

Many students also work in their spare time to support their families. In order to

meet the needs and provide quality education, the College has devised some

strategies in academic and non-academic reforms.

Strategies Adopted:

i. The Admission procedure has been made computer oriented by use of

software.

ii. The college provides an option of three subjects in order of preference for

Honours courses.


iii. The College has adopted a strategy of Counseling for waiting list

candidates to provide hassle free admission.

iv. The College has created its own system for issuing photo ID-cards to

students. In this way, the students are photographed by the faculties and

non-teaching staff and the ID-card is created in computer and printed with

ID-card printer.

v. The Class routines have been designed on the basis of availability of

classrooms so that the students of all years can attend their classes despite

classroom shortage in the institute.

vi. Every year the college authority prepares an academic calendar which

prepares the students for the up-coming events of the academic year.

vii. Monthly tests are held for all Honours students of all the Annual

Curriculum to assess their performance on regular basis.

viii. Sessional exam are also held for the students under Semester System.

ix. Implementation of semester system on the basis of Choice Based Credit

System for undergraduate courses from the academic session 2014-15.

x. Introduction of Physical Education and Kokborok as elective subjects in

Under-Graduate programme, also certificate course in Kokborok

language and Diploma course in Computer Application.

xi. Introduction of effective classroom practices using ICT enable services.

xii. Continuous internal and external evaluation system through variety of

assessment methods (e.g. Group discussion, viva, seminar and written

examination).

xiii. Introducing a computer literacy programme for the students of 3rd year

who want to learn the basic knowledge of computer with the available

computers.

xiv. Most of the departments maintain individual departmental library.

xv. A few departments also maintain wall magazines on their display boards

on a regular basis. There are many students who have a flair for writing,

the faculty members try to give these students an opportunity to hone

their skills.

xvi. The college is situated in a rural district and a number of students come

from remote areas of the district with almost no knowledge of their rights

and responsibilities. They are informed about Anti-ragging measures,

their right to equal opportunities and inclusive education, career


counseling etc. Settings up of these cells are undoubtedly beneficial to the

student community at large.

xvii. The college plans several activities to celebrate/observe important dates

like Independence Day, Republic Day, World Disabled Day, World

Women’s Day, World Environment Day, National Science Day, World

Ozone Layer Day etc. as a part of co-curricular and extra-curricular

activities. These enrich the students knowledge regarding the importance

of the specific days.

xviii. The College also stresses upon cultural achievement of the students. The

talents of the students who are proficient in traditional or folk

songs/dances or acting are nurtured and they are even trained to

participate in various competitions where they have won several laurels

too.

xix. Sustaining a complaisant atmosphere for teaching and learning is the very

objective of any educational institution which acts as the main impetus for

academic excellence. The Discipline Committee ensures that the students

do not loiter in the corridors in their free periods and they attend all

classes punctually. The students are usually sent to Library Reading

room/Common rooms/ Laboratories.

Best Practice 2: Reforms in Administrative Aspects:

Strategies Adopted:

i. The College owns integrated software to maintain Library, Office and

Store.

ii. Emphasis on paper free office procedure.

iii. Proper maintenance of respective sections like RTI cell, Establishment

section, Academic section and other related sections.

iv. Emphasis on the execution of various guidelines of UGC related to the

maintenance of minimum standards in education like Anti-ragging

Committee, Committee for complaints against sexual harassment (in

accordance with the guidelines of the Supreme Court of India with

reference to Vishaka Vs State of Punjab).

v. Emphasis on least consumption of power in the college.

vi. Proper maintenance of Academic Administration through different


committees like academic committee and discipline committee

vii. To ensure transparency in the purchase through the provision of Lower

purchase committee, UGC Committee and Development Committee.

viii. Emphasis on Inclusive Decision related to the expenditure through UGC

and State funds.

ix. Proposed plan for the re-establishment of extension of new Arts Building,

extension of 2nd and 3rd floor of Administrative Building, extension of 3rd

floor of Bio-Science Building, extension of residential facility for faculty

and staff members, submitted to the Chief Minister of Tripura at high

level meeting held in the Office of District Magistrate & Collector, Khowai

a) Any specific highlight of the department: The Department has established one

small sized garden with plant species having medicinal values / food values

which are used in different parts of the state. Students of this department are

actively involved in maintaining and enrichment of the garden by planting new

plant materials.

b) Vision of the department: To provide the necessary learning and infrastructural

facilities to the students of the Department with an aim for their better carrier

development. Such type of scientific practical oriented studies will provide the

potentiality of excellence in academics. At present our college is not having any

Botanical Garden. Being a part of North Eastern region of India, Tripura is also

rich in floristic diversity. Thus, Department of Botany strongly feels the need for a

Botanical garden in the College campus for conservation of indigenous flora as

well as to impart Botanical knowledge covering conservation issues and

educational activities to the students. Another important mission is to establish

the Departmental R & D facilities for the advancement of the research activities in

near future.

Annexure5: Entitlement Index for Higher Education

A formula based allocation of grants takes into consideration several parameters identified

mainly on the basis of need and performance based criteria. The choice here is dictated by the

availability of data. Three parameters are identified under the need-based criterion. These are

population in the 18-23 age group, per capita income ,and GER. Seven parameters are

identified under the performance based criterion which include improvement in GER, state

expenditure on higher education, college-population index, institution density, teacher student

ratio, quality, educational achievement in levels prior to higher education. In case of some of

the sparameters, more than one indicators considered for assessing the performance. Hence, in

total, there are 19 indicators (seeTable3.1)-Rational e for the inclusion of each of these

indicators shall be elaborated. A small part of the allocation can be kept aside for special

problems.
