3. The Context
The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an
increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for
readjustment in curriculum in order to make education a forceful tool
for the cultivation of social and moral values. In our culturally plural
society, education should foster universal and eternal values, oriented
towards unity and integration of people.
4. The Practice
In addition to the regular curriculum, values such as truth, peace,
non-violence, right conduct, love and compassion are induced as core
values by refashioning the education system. It consists of universally
accepted education and it is a precursor for knowledge and evolves to
meet contemporary needs. Hence in all our curricular, extra
curricular and extension activities values are integrated to maintain
peace and harmony. Guest lectures, organising seminars exclusively
on Human values and Relevance of Gandhian principles, arranging
field trips to old age homes, participation in community development
activities to generate service mindedness, along with highlighting the
sayings, quotations of eminent people, their experiences which gives
impetus to the students on values.
5. Evidence of Success
Students developed high moral character, self discipline, and sense of
service, devotion to duty, selflessness, self control, tolerance and
respect for the views of others. It enabled them to respect values
enshrined in the constitution. Through this practice students learnt
how to be firm in the unfamiliar and difficult circumstances.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
It is not a programme but it is a process. So values can not be imbibed
overnight. Yet, they are nourished and nurtured continuously through
committed staff of various faculties. Necessary monetary assistance is
provided for taking students to field trips to have real time
experiences.
Best Practice -II

Post Accreditation Initiatives
Assessment and accreditation of the institution was done by NAAC in
2009. The College was accredited with ‘B’ grade. Earnest efforts were
initiated by the Students, Staff and Management striving hard to work
collectively to create an academic ambience to sustain and enhance the quality
and excellence. In the aftermath of the accreditation process, the institution
had been immensely benefited and efforts to enhance the potential strength
factors and rectify the deficiencies through appropriate interventions had
begun.
A synoptic view of the criterion wise post accreditation initiatives
taken by the College in designing and implementation of strategies to achieve
quality in its functioning is given in detail below.
[ I ] Curricular Aspects:
Sincere attempts were made to introduce innovative and value added
courses with a wide range of programmes offered at both UG and PG level.
After NAAC accreditation two post graduate courses (M.Sc Organic
Chemistry, M.Sc Analytical Chemistry), an Under graduate Course (B.B.M)
and two other new combinations in B.Sc course (M.S.Cs &M.C.Cs) were
introduced. Academic flexibility was achieved through conducting Certificate
Courses, Add-on Programmes, Remedial Classes, Bridge Courses and
obtaining feedback from students on curriculum. Conscious efforts were
launched by the faculty members in each Department to achieve Curriculum
flexibility and the syllabi were revised and up-dated regularly. Conducting
Seminars, Invited Lectures, Professional Development Programmes etc., as an
integral part of curricular activities had been institutionalized. Value
orientation, Social awareness, Women empowerment programmes formed part
of the Curricula. Renewal of autonomy for the college for a further period of
six years (i.e. up to 2017) enabled the college to continuously upgrade the
syllabus and introduce new subjects and to make it as contemporary and
relevant as possible. There is a mechanism of feedback on curriculum obtained
from students, faculty and responses received from all the stake holders are
analysed and acted upon.
[ II ] Teaching-Learning and Evaluation:
Introduction of a broad spectrum of courses attracted the students and
paved way for increased enrollment of students which is a sustainable growth
indicator. The College is encouraging interactive teaching methodology
through latest technologies integrating with conventional teaching.
Convergence of one or more teaching, e-learning methods have further
strengthened the planning capabilities of the students. Library with internet
access and INFLIBNET facility has generated much interest in students and
faculty.
xxviii
The College has unique distinction of having transparent, confidential,
credible evaluation system. Midterm evaluation, student feedback mechanism
and effective grievance redressal system have been put in place to make
teaching and learning more accountable. Transparency in evaluation system is
ensured by giving answer scripts to the students. One of the best practices
introduced by the college includes issuing academic schedule at the beginning
of the academic year itself and timely declaration of results. Innovative
teaching methods like Power Point Presentations, e-learning methods,
supplying study material, Guest lectures, field trips have promoted interactive
learning and sustained student interest.
Feedback of courses and teachers by the students is taken to strengthen
the accountability in teaching-learning process. For assuring quality education
IQAC is in charge of disseminating quality perspective among the stake
holders of the institution.
[ III ] Research, Consultancy and Extension:
Creation of new knowledge through research is one of the
major activities of the College. Top priority is accorded to research and
Spectro-photometer has been installed in the Chemistry laboratory. Students
are motivated to under take formal visits, surveys, study tours to various
centers of excellence. Use of internet facility and ICT has enhanced the
technical capabilities of the students. Strengthening of research activity in the
College is done through mutually re-enforcing linkages between teaching and
research. Considering Faculty Development as one of the important elements
for ensuring quality excellence, twelve faculty members were deputed to
pursue PhD under FDP. To promote research, the Major and Minor Research
Projects funded by UGC have been undertaken by faculty. Large number of
faculty members attended National/International Seminars and Six National
Seminars/Conferences were organized by the institution. Orientation
programmes were conducted for Junior Lecturers. Research contributions have
been extended to community service to fulfill responsibility towards society.
In the field of extension activities many of the departments have linkages with
NGOs and other organizations which enable faculty and students to engage in
research. Extension services rendered by NSS Units instill a sense of
responsibility towards society
[ IV ] Infrastructure and Learning Resources:
ICT and infrastructure have enabled the college to impart
technological literacy in the campus and to promote e-culture. A separate
block consisting of six class rooms and a Mathematical Computer Laboratory
with thirty Computers has been established. An exclusive Girls Hostel with
eight rooms to accommodate forty students is under construction. Safe
drinking water facility has been provided at Library, women’s waiting hall,
office and students common places. Individual Departments are provided with
Inverters and a high capacity generator was installed at the examination
section. The College Library has a large collection of books and journals and
other publications. It is well supported by internet access to e-journals through
INFLIBNET.
xxix
[ V ] Student Support and Progression:
Support services in the form of remedial classes, special coaching
classes, add-on programmes and certificate courses are being conducted. The
Career Guidance and Placement Cell provides the related information and
material regarding career opportunities in higher education and employment.
Anti Ragging Committee and Women Empowerment Cell are functioning
effectively and no case of Women harassment has been reported. NCC and
NSS units exclusively for girls are functioning. A large number of alumni are
extending their assistance and cooperation to the development of the
institution.
[ VI ] Governance, Leadership and Management:
Democratic atmosphere with decentralized administration is in vogue.
All the decisions are made in the Heads Council meetings. The Management
encourages the faculty to organize and attend Seminars/Workshops and keep
them abreast of latest knowledge resources in their respective fields. To
improve the learning levels of the students, IQAC is functioning for re-
enforcing culture of excellence.
[ VII ] Innovation and Best Practices:
Life skills education is extended by NSS, NCC and Women
Empowerment Cell to all the students to face the challenges of the day to day
life. For this value oriented education is included in the curriculum as a best
practice to shape the personality of the youth. This enables the students to
work for social reconstruction. Measures taken to bring learning to the door
steps of all social and economic sections without bar is yet another best
practice implemented in the College.
