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
Self Study Report | Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai, Tripura 22
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.

conditions prevailing in their region. Such field experience enables them to

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

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

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
Self Study Report (SSR) | Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai, Tripura 128
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.

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.
Self Study Report (SSR) | Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai, Tripura 177
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.
Self Study Report (SSR) | Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai, Tripura 178
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.
Self Study Report (SSR) | Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai, Tripura 179
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

capacity laser printers, network printer, dot-matrix & colour printer) etc. The
Department has also 10MBPS internet connectivity by BSNL through OFC and
512kbps WiMax broadband internet connectivity by BSNL. Labs are equipped
with 38 nodes with 2 high-end servers connected through
LAN. The lab is having Hubs, Rackmount Level2 24 port & 16 port switches and
wi-fi access points. The department has already proved its efficiency by
implementing campus LAN. The department organizes short-term training
programs in Computer Applications for the students not having computer as a
subject and very novice in that field.
b) Vision of the department: Computer Science as an academic course
involves familiarizing students with the hardware, operating systems,
networking, applications, software programming, languages, Internet related
fields & newer technologies and their convergence like multimedia technology.
So BCA & DCA programmes targets the development of aptitudes and abilities
in the following areas:
To impart computer hardware and basic software education to enable the
students to program and maintain computers and microprocessor based
equipment.
To develop real life systems solutions and to build state-of-the-art systems
for various applications.
To inculcate the requisite knowledge and skills to enable students to join
companies in middle level positions as computer programmers or system
analysts.
To develop effective solutions for Govt. organizations, Commercial
establishment and the software industry.
To become full-fledged IT professional to meet the demands of the ever
growing IT industry.

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.

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.

Preface
The Dasaratha Deb Memorial College, Khowai started its journey on 24th November, 1979 at Khowai Government Higher Secondary School with only 3 students. It was then affiliated to Calcutta University, West Bengal. The foundation stone of new building at its present location was laid by the then Educational Minister, Government of Tripura, Shri Dasaratha Deb.
This Government Degree College was renamed as Dasaratha Deb Memorial College couple of years after our Hon’ble Ex-Chief Minister, Late Sh. Dasaratha Deb in 2000. At present, the Institute is offering undergraduate studies in 16 subjects on three main streams Humanities Commerce and Science and has an approximate strength of 2090 students.

2.1 Executive Summary of IDP
Dasaratha Deb Memorial College is the biggest seat of learning in Khowai District. A new college has been established in another sub-division yet this institution has been still drawing the students from every nook and corner since it offers a spectrum of courses irrespective of gender, geographical location, social & economic strata.

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.
