PREFACE It is a matter of great pleasure for me to mention that after NAAC accreditation in 2007,
we are again approaching for re- accreditation- Cycle-2, this year. For us NAAC
accreditation is important because it gives us an opportunity for self-analysis as well as it
gives us an identity as an accredited academic institution. NAAC accreditation ensures
quality and enables an institution to receive grants from both Govt. and semi Govt.
agencies which is essential for ensuring a better infrastructure that would promote better
higher education and research. Keeping in view the NAAC recommendations in 2007, we
have revised our action plans for the development of this college so that our college
would play an effective role in the field of higher education for women in this area. The
college has been receiving all types of assistance and co-operation from UGC, DPI, Zilla
Parishad, District Magistrate, MPs and other public representatives to carry out all
developmental works. We are also grateful to Ms Gouri Adhikari Biswas, formerly
Associate Professor and Head, Dept. of Economics of this college, for her generous
donation of Rs. 30 Lakh which was a great contribution to the construction of First floor
of Science Building of this college.
I would also like to acknowledge the sincere service of all my Teaching and Non-
Teaching staff and the enthusiasm of my students which has immensely contributed to
the steady growth of our institution till date.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans: Strength:
Separate departmental room with computer facility, Teacher; Knowledge skill, Obedient and initiated student Sympathetic college management in respect to teaching; teacher Students relationship Proper coordination among the faculty Cordial relation with the teacher of PG faculty of University
Weakness: As there is only one permanent teacher in the department , it is not always possible to do what we
went to do for the improvement of department Opportunity
Total numbers of honors students is 20-25. so the teacher can take and care and extend individual care and attention.
Teacher also pays special c lass and provides them with study materials. students can use departmental computer.
Reference book, text book and question bank are also issued from the departmental library. Challenge
Thought the department is lacking sufficient teacher and students come from remote areas and most of them are first generation learners and belong SC/ST community, we try our level best so that the students can join higher studies and establish themselves in service.
Every year some students go for PG with first class and second class honors marks. We have a plans to arrange for an yearly exhibition if the college fund permits.
Future plan: To produce study materials. Guide students in their research projects To organize exhibition for better awareness of the subject in trams of latest development in the
subject area

SELF STUDY REPORT, NAAC, II Cycle 2017
Balurghat Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Balurghat, Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal 124
Laboratory setup for the department Adequate help from the College authority for new and innovative ideas for helping the students to
meet their goals. Weakness:
There is only one permanent teacher in the department and many a times it is difficult to organize other activities for the students.
Despite the fact that we have a separate building, we still would like to have our own departmental room and one more laboratory for proper functioning.
Lack of a reference cum seminar library within the department. Opportunity:
Our department is a very young department and yet we have an appreciable number of students enrolling for honours in Botany each year, over the years, the College also has gained much publicity and appreciation and hence more number of students are expected to join in the coming days.
The current faculty strength is -03 (One full time, one part time and one guest), this provides a good opportunity to carter to the students requirements individually.
Department is provided with a Computer with internet facility (Which is currently shared with Dept. of Zoology and Chemistry), this gives an opportunity to download study materials for the students.
Challenge: Students are from different social and economic backgrounds, imparting education to these diverse
groups is a challenge, specially where extra expenses are involved in practical lessons and study tours.
Students exams in English and almost all of them are from Bengali Medium, hence it a big challenge for the teachers of our department to impart hem the right knowledge, understandable to them without diluting the subject matter. We constantly encourage them to develop writing and learning skills in English.
Most of the students are interested in pursuing higher studies, so it is a big challenge and responsibility of the teachers that we should groom our student in right manner and equip them sufficiently for further studies ahead.
Future plan: With the aid from the college fund, we intend to set up an experimental cum educational garden,
which would have medicinal plants and few plant material enlisted in the course curriculum of the students.
Department also is planning to start a wall magazine, where students of the faculty and other science faculty of the college can contribute articles which would inculcate and develop writing skills among the students.
In the near future, Department would like to carry out one or two Minor Research Projects, where students will be involved.
Department would also like to hold a State level or a National Level Seminar on contemporary issues and development in Life Science research and education.

Unfortunately ,under existing system we cannot appoint teachers: the recommending authority is College Service commission . The problem is retention of teachers. Once a teacher get a chance in a different organization of his own choice , we cannot stand in his way. We are rather duty bound to accept his resignation and to wait till College Service Commission sends a new one. We, however, appoint Guest teachers on temporary basis.
3. We have opened PG Distance Education Programme under Rabindra Bharati University.
