PREFACE

Government Degree College, Dharmanagar was established on 21st September 1979 with a vision to

provide quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of region, religion, caste,

economic strata and academic performance in earlier years. It was established by a group of educationist,

enthusiastic social reformers who thought about providing higher education facility to the future

generations of this remotest part of the state. Since its humble beginning in 1979, the college was

affiliated to Calcutta University and later on the affiliation was transferred to Tripura University, when it

came into existence in the year 1987. This year Government Degree College, Dharmanagar steps into the

35th year of its existence to serve the aspiring people of this area and as well as the nation. As I muse over

the glorious decades of the College's growth, my heart fills with love, admiration and pride for the fertile

soil which the College provides to the students who enter its portals to live as responsible human beings.

It gives me immense pleasure to submit the Self Study Report (SSR) of our college to the National

Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) for accreditation in compliance of our LOI requirements

for further quality sustenance, enhancement and improvement of the college. This exercise has provided

us an opportunity to review and analyse the institutional progress and further strengthened us in our quest

for Quality in the times to come. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell of our college has been instrumental

in raising the bar of excellence and adopting and implementing diverse quality enhancing measures. This

report is the outcome of the collective efforts of the entire campus community. I deeply appreciate the

wide involvement and sincere, collaborative effort of the entire team. The institution is striving to carve a

niche for itself on the national education map by adopting innovative initiatives, acquiring new skills and

employing new techniques. Hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing soon from you on your decision

on Peer Team Visit for Inspection.

Though we got affiliation for the subjects Hindi and Statistics, for the lack of faculty members we are

unable to start these departments. The College aims to mould the student community hailing mostly

from the marginalized and economically backward sections of the society into better individuals, and

guide them to contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding the values of secularism,

national integration and social commitment. The primary objective of the institution is to enable the

students to cope up with the demands of the contemporary global scenario through effective

transaction of the curricular and co-curricular aspects. Academic excellence, personality development

and social orientation are our guiding principles.

Apart from the regular Bachelor‘s Degree Programmes offered in the college, there is one Distance

Education Study Centre under Tripura University and another study centre of IGNOU which have

been offering different programmes (both UG and PG) in the ODL Method to the interested learners

of this region.

In the academic session 2014-2015 in pursuance of the affiliating university norms, the college is

offering semester system of Degree courses in both Honours and Pass courses. At present, the college

has a designated Principal and 53 (fifty three) faculty members. Among the regular faculty members

34 (thirty four) are Associate Professors/ Assistant Professors as per UGC norms and the remaining

regular teachers are engaged and designated as Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) by the Department of

Higher Education, Government of Tripura. 15 (fifteen) teachers have Ph. D Degree. Moreover,

every year during peak time of the academic session, some temporary/guest teachers are also engaged

on contract basis as per necessity. There are 30 (thirty) administrative and technical staff in the

college. The total student strength of the college in the session 2014-2015 is 3704 .The College

follows the guidelines framed by the affiliating university and the Directorate of Higher Education,

Govt. of Tripura in the implementation and execution of academic activities.

The criteria-wise efforts can be summarized as follows:

Curricular Aspects:

Keeping pace with the global needs, the curriculum is designed and developed for all the courses as

framed by the affiliating Tripura University. The institution also moulds the students by developing

their analytical ability, participation in competitions, seminars, conferences, sports and games etc.


Page 5

All the UG courses follow the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) started from the academic

session 2014-2015 in which the students move to higher studies by considering the lateral and vertical

mobility within and across the programmes and courses. To cater to the needs of the growing

population and demand for higher education among the rural youth, the institution also offers various

self-financing programmes such as DCA and BCA.

The institution has a vibrant Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) which meets periodically and

decides on the measures to be taken to improve and sustain the quality of higher education.

Teaching-Learning and Evaluation:

Admission to the programmes is by a transparent, well-administered mechanism, complying with all

the norms of the affiliating university. The institution ensures equity and wide access and is well

represented by students from different geographical area and socio-economic, cultural and

educational backgrounds.

The college strictly adheres to the government norms in the admission process giving chance to the

meritorious students belonging to the various sections of the society.

Every year a review meeting of the Admission Committee is held to ensure the improvement in

admission process. The whole admission process is reviewed and innovative ideas are taken into

account and incorporated for making the admission process smooth and efficient.

Since the college is located in a border area mainly comprising of aspirants belonging to the socially

and economically backward groups, the college ensures equity by admitting students from the

disadvantaged communities including women.

The entry of the Fresher is made comfortable with a formal welcome accorded by the senior students.

The college has adequate in-built mechanisms which are continually updated to achieve the goals of

academic excellence. The college plans and organizes teaching, learning and evaluation schedules by

strictly following the University Academic Calendar, by maintaining academic diaries of the

academic events and co-curricular activities and preparing its annual blue print of the academic

events and co-curricular activities.

Fully aware of the extent and significance of institutional accountability in the teaching learning and

evaluation process, individualized teaching-learning programmes/coaching are conducted to cater to

the broad spectrum of academic calibre of students admitted. Internal tests are conducted to assess the

academic needs of the students and slow learners and advanced learners identified through an analysis


Page 6

of the formative tests. Remedial classes are arranged to help the slow learners to adapt to the rigorous

teaching learning process and to make credible academic progress. Specialized classes are organized

for enhancing the competence and performance of advanced learners and economically backward

students are given remedial coaching during Improvement Period. ICT based teaching learning and e-

content developments are some of the best practices for the summative exams to be conducted by the

college. Student mentoring and guidance services are provided for the students at the academic and

personal. The college also organizes programmes to sensitize the faculty and students on social

responsibilities and environment. The college maintains a student-centric and learner-centric

atmosphere to achieve the desired learning outcomes. The teachers employ interactive and

participatory approach creating a feeling of responsibility in learning and make learning a process of

construction of knowledge. ICT based facilities are used extensively for dissemination of knowledge

and evaluation. ICT enabled class rooms and multimedia facility enable the access of e-resources for

the teaching learning process. Interactive instructional techniques like focussed group discussions,

brain storming sessions, experiments, Power Point Presentations and application of ICT resources

enrich the teaching learning experience and engage students in higher order thinking and

investigation. Creating e-modules, question banks, regular evaluation and assessment of questions

and generation of material/content for summative exams are some of the best practices of the college.

National seminars/ conferences/workshops, invited talks, and discussions are an integral part of our

learning process. The College has the distinction of having its staff, outstanding scholars which adds

a new dimension to the reputation of the college. Teachers Quality is assured by recharging the

faculty members in their own discipline and on general professional competence through training

programmes and Faculty Development Programmes. Faculty takes initiative to learn and keep abreast

of the latest developments, to innovate continuously, seek improvement in their work and strive for

individual and institutional excellence. The strong feed-back mechanism for faculty involving self-

appraisal, stakeholders and Head of the institution help faculty members to enhance their professional

competency. As an institution with nearly 35 years of service to the people, the college has evolved

an evaluation pattern with higher weightage to formative evaluation and is, therefore, conducive to

the formation of higher level cognitive skills. Responsibility of implementing, monitoring and

reviewing the student centric teaching-learning plan and evaluation is vested in the Examination

Committee with the IQAC support. The college has introduced many evaluation reforms in the recent


Page 7

past. Innovative evaluation process based on Internal Assessment helped to gauge the knowledge and

skills acquired and also enhance the competence of students.

It is located far from the madding crowd and has a serene environment conducive to the

teaching-learning process.

The College has active cell of NSS, NCC unit with the motive to serve the society &

contribute to the economy.

The technical, administrative & support staff are computer literates and professionally

qualified.

Adopting latest methodology for nurturing weaker students through remedial classes.

which helps students to take higher education.

Weakness:

Basic infrastructure such as adequate number of class rooms, an auditorium, and medical care

unit with fulltime doctors, adequate smart classrooms, round the clock reading facility, guest

house, and counseling room are, no doubt, the need of the hour for our Institution.

Likewise, the full automation of library and office and separate library building is also a dire

requirement.

Shortage of faculty members.


Page 11

Planned faculty development, technical and support staff development and also training

classes for support staff have to be organized.

As an affiliated Government Degree College, our college has no autonomy and has been

facing a number of administrative, financial and academic bindings.

Opportunities:

Programme (ASAP) and Equal opportunity Centre can definitely enhance the employability

and attract campus recruitments.

Challenges:

standards.

Innovative practices for students of various streams.

Organize more faculty training program to empower and enable the use of various innovative

tools and technology for improved of teaching and learning.

To develop global perspectives to meet students demand.

To develop Community outreach, Curriculum expansion and technical supports.

By increasing involvement, learners show willingness to engage in active citizenship in future

and finally buildup curriculum that incorporates real-life materials.

The college has wholeheartedly embraced the concept of going in for (NAAC) accreditation so that

self appraisal alongwith financial benefits from various organizations may continue to shower on to

the college. In this respect the college authority has already dispatched a letter of intent to the NAAC

authorities with a copy to the Director of Higher Education, Government of Tripura, along with,

different committees necessary for the NAAC evaluation. The process has already been on track by

the Principal, and the members are working hard to make this accreditation process a grand success.

public in the years to come.

The college aims to inculcate the highest intellectual standards through rigorous academic

commitment and discipline. Students are inspired to aspire for higher level of academic achievement

by mastering the subject chosen to study. The institution strives towards overall development of

Page 37

intellectual requirements of students in the fast paced life through the involvement of faculty,

department and other stakeholders.

The curriculum, framed by the university, is modified, enriched and organized by the collective

efforts of the teachers and the taught. First priority is the institutional reality. Teachers are free to

adapt themselves to the feasibility of the institution. They help students to approach the syllabus from

practical realities, develop the habit of attending library regularly, update them through exposure to

bookish knowledge alone is everything. The students must read, but they should also look

beyond books to the practical world. They must develop values that will give them a sense of

unity with the world outside. Our staff and students are full of regard for multi-religious and

multi-lingual realities of our country. Our college is in tune with communal harmony and

national integrity. Our NSS and NCC units are always alert in regard to community services

and national solidarity.

We are equally aware of the changing realities of India and the world. To make our students

ready to face such challenges, we set up Career-Counselling Cell, invite experts for

counseling, and help our students under various capacities to go for better career

opportunities.

No less significant is the sense of fraternity and harmony among the staff and students.

Whenever any incumbent is challenged in any way, everybody within the college is ready to

rise to the occasion. Poor Boys‘ Fund, personal collection and help extended by people

outside have helped us much to get successfully through insurgencies. Such moments make us

fully aware of the importance of maintaining relationship with the greater community. We

believe in reciprocity and harmonious coexistence.

Alumni, peers. The IQAC analyses feedback and prepares response chart for future use by the

Principal. The feedback thus obtained is communicated to the University for appropriate action

through the faculty members who are part of the Board of studies & Board of Examiners in the

particular faculty in the University. The feedback has been utilized in enriching the curriculum.


Page 39

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes?

curriculum prepared by the University?

Designing and restructuring of courses mainly lies on the Affiliating University. The college,

however, makes significant contribution in the curriculum design and development.

The existing courses are restructured and updated to meet the emerging national and global trends by

reviewing periodically the syllabus of the reputed institutes, by organizing and attending education

fairs and seminars/conferences on emerging trends in various sectors. Our faculty keep themselves

abreast of the changing national and global trends by attending Refresher Courses and participating in

seminars.

changes required to dovetail into the contemporary system are discussed with all the faculty

members. In-house departmental meetings are held to review the courses and programmes.

Feedback of students and their parents on the desired changes in the curriculum are obtained. Inputs

Curriculum? If „yes‟, how is it communicated to the University and made use internally for

curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes?

Yes, feedback is taken from student council regarding the curriculum coverage, quality of teaching,

infrastructural facilities etc. The overall impression in these regard is quite satisfactory. However, a

major criticism appears in certain cases, which can directly be attributed to the temporal

administrative lacuna, such as paucity of teachers in few departments.

The curriculum feedback is communicated to the parent University and also Directorate of Higher

Education, Govt. of Tripura.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institutionduring the last

four years? What was the rationale for introducing newcourses/programmes?)

internal assessment, tutorials, class tests, interactive sessions, group discussions, students‘ seminars

etc. Among the summative evaluation approaches we can mention holding of final test for old course

students before the university exams, parent-teacher meetings etc. All these methods of evaluation

have a positive impact on the system. Students‘ academic progress is monitored regularly through the

formative methods. Depending upon the evaluation slow and advanced learners is identified by the

departments. Remedial classes are often arranged for the students who could not perform

satisfactorily. Summative methods are helpful to know the overall performance of the students and

thus help students to evaluate themselves for effective preparation for the university examinations.

2.5.5 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and

performance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide an analysis of

the students results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the

differences if any and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered.

The College holds internal examinations each year. These examinations are taken for first-semester,

second-year and third-year students. Results of these examinations are published centrally. The

evaluated answer scripts are shown to each of the students by the departmental teachers, pointing out

the mistakes and shortcomings of their answers. The teachers also suggest the points to be covered to

address the questions. Some teachers provide the model answers in written format with relevant

comments. Class tests and tutorial classes are held regularly by the departments in order to assess

students‘ knowledge and skills. Besides these tests, students‘ presentation in seminars, group

discussions, projects in the relevant subjects etc. also help in monitoring students‘ performance before

the university examinations.

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.

There is complete transparency in the internal assessment. The criterion adopted is as directed by the

University. All the students are familiar about the transparency in internal assessment. The internal

assessment is made by the faculty members keeping in mind the following aspects / factors of

students‘ performance during the academic year:

1) class attendance

2) class assignments

3) score in the internal assessment etc.

Inspite of all the above aspects of the students, their behavioral aspects, independent learning and

communication skill etc. are also taken into consideration during the assessing of a student.

2.5.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation as an indicator for

evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If „yes‟

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?

In the recent years, institutions of higher education across the country have recognized that a full

commitment to teaching and learning must include assessing and documenting what and how much

students are learning and using this information to improve the education. When we articulate the

main goals for a course, we need to see whether students have achieved them, and then use the results

to make our courses better. We‘re on the way to Learning Outcome. Learning Outcome Assessment

is the process of collecting information that will tell an organization whether the services, activities,

or experiences it offers are having the desired impact on those who take part in it. The institute‘s

approach to the learning outcome assessment is defined clearly. Faculty is best suited to determine

the intended educational outcomes of their academic programs and activities, How to assess these

outcomes, and how to use the results for program development and improvement is a part of student

evaluation. The results of Outcome Assessment are used to evaluate the effectiveness of academic

programs and activities, and student services, and not the performance of individual faculty or staff.

Faculty use the information collected to develop and improve academic programs.

2.6.2 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to

facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?


Page 67

like Assam and Mizoram to achieve higher education through various master degree

programmes.


Page 68

2.6.4 How does the institution collect and analyse data on student learning outcomes and use it

for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

As mentioned under 2.2.6 the college preserves all relevant information of students. The academic

progresses of the students are analyzed in the head of the departments‘ meetings and in the

departmental meetings. Departments arrange for remedial classes for the students whose progresses

are not satisfactory.

2.6.5 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes?

The college monitors the achievement of learning outcomes through IQAC and Academic Council

which ensure the achievement of learning outcomes by:

Finding out slow and advance learners and making policies to improve their learning

outcomes.

Conducting test examinations/ internal assessment.

Although, resources for promotion of ecotourism spread over four districts in the state; however, the

progress is limited to vicinity of state capital Agartala alone.

Dr. S. Ghosh, Assistant Professor, Dept of Human Physiology has done research project on

nutritional status of Darlong tribes of north Tripura district. His research findings suggest that, in

spite of their financial constraint, their nutrition status is comparable with other common people.

Students of the department of Human Physiology conduct diet surveys annually as part of their course

work on selected different areas in and around the college. This helps them and also the people

surveyed to understand nutritional deficiencies in their families. Along with faculty members of the

department, necessary corrective measures are also suggested to overcome these deficiencies.

Sri Satyajit Das, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Political science has done a survey research on Munda

(belongs to tribe community out of 19 tribes of Tripura) women about their political participation and

awareness in Tripura. The concerned survey revealed that the Munda women are not very much

aware about the political phenomenon of Tripura but surprisingly it has also been revealed that their

participation is high in political process of Tripura.

He also worked on ‗Recruitment process of tea garden labourer in Tripura since the very inception of

tea garden in Tripura‘. The paper deals with the history of migration of tea garden laborer in Tripura

and the problems they faced during their immigration.

profile of Mundas in Tripura and in every step the census report of India as well as Tripura have also

been included. The objective of the study was to know the history, total population and their

immigration in Tripura. This has been fulfilled in some extent.

He also worked on changing cultural profile of a tea garden community with special reference to

Mundas in Tripura. This paper explains the changing phase of culture of that particular community

and it causes. At the same time it deals with the impact of modernization on their culture and their

present status.

He also worked on Local self Government with special reference to Kadamtala gram Panchayat. This

paper explores the profile of concerned Panchayat and status of people under aforesaid panchayat. It

also narrated the expenditure and various funds that have been granted by State government and

Central government. It also showed that funds are not utilized in a particular financial year.

He also had done a work on TTAADC and Tribal welfare in Tripura. The paper deals with the

TTAADC and various welfare schemes for the people of those areas granted by State government and

Central government. It revealed the economic, social condition of those people.

He also worked on Role of E-Governance in Multicultural societies. This paper dealt with how to

maintain good governance in a multicultural society like India and what are the obstacles in the way

of good governance that has been mentioned in a proper way and few measures were also taken into

account.

qualities like selfless service and sense of responsibility towards community development but also

create a sense of awareness among rural people . Continuous visits to a particular village strengthen

the bond and create space for sustained outreach activities. As a follow up, medical camps, health

awareness programmes and awareness programmes on nutrition and hygiene were conducted in order

to create a healthy atmosphere for living. Recognising that women and children are one of the most

vulnerable sections of society, the health and hygiene of women and children is given prime

importance in the annual camps conducted in villages by the NSS units. Free medical camps and

awareness programmes on AIDS and other health related issues sensitise women and help them

dispel prevalent myths. Exhibitions, programmes and competitions conducted by various departments

motivate students from less privileged background to pursue Higher Education. The college organizes

visits to Old Age Homes to add colour to their desolate lives. Free Counseling Camps are organized

Red Ribbon Club (RRC)

Red as a sign of warning is particularly relevant in the context of impressionable youth. At an age

when sex is an adventure, an exploration of intrinsic desire, the thought of danger is far, far away.

Yet, it is this group, defined by curiosity and boldness that is extremely vulnerable to AIDS. Youth is

a nation's future. They are the trend setters, the leading lights of every home and therefore very


Page 140

influential. The Red Ribbon Club (RRC) is a voluntary on-campus intervention programme for

students in colleges. It has since acquired a momentum that will be a huge resource in India's fight

against AIDS. The programme aims at harnessing the potential of educated youth and helps them to

be the educators among their peers in the entire campus and the community at large.

3.6.6 Give details on social surveys, research or extension work (if any) undertaken by the

college to ensure social justice and empower students from under-privileged and vulnerable

sections of society?

The following social surveys and research are undertaken by the college to ensure social justice and

empower students from under-privileged and vulnerable sections of society:

Committed to the cause of women empowerment especially the under-privileged and

vulnerable sections of society, the college undertakes social surveys and extension work to

ameliorate the lot of women under the aegis of NSS, Students‘ Union .

Dept. of Physics organize awareness programme minimizing the energy consumption and

using the clean energy to overcome the energy scarcity and keeping the environment clean.

Dept of Chemistry always puts their effort to remove superstitions from nearby villages and to

aware them about the near future water crisis, environmental issues like global warming etc.

Initiatives from Botany Dept have been taken to aware the villagers about the importance of

plants in our life. Villagers are trained about the use bio fertilizers.

Faculties and students of Mathematics Department very often collect data from nearby areas

regarding the education, health and economic status of the villagers and later on these data are

processed using mathematical and statistical techniques.

Economics Dept. organize various Rural Development awareness Programme.

Election awareness programme, awareness programme regarding administrative decision

making process in the rural area.

3.6.7. Reflecting on objectives and expected outcomes of the extension activities organized by

the institution, comment on how they complement student‟s academic learning experience and

specify the values and skills inculcated.

The extension activities/community experience followed by guided reflection enhances their social

commitment together with personal, civic and academic learning. The Foundation Course


Page 145

incorporating Women‘s Studies, Human Rights Education, Environment & Society and Value Based

Courses exposes students to issues of Gender equity, Eco-consciousness and self-esteem which

inculcate a sense of social responsibility among students.

The first important aspect is that students learn to think beyond themselves. They have an

urge to do something productive for others in the Society.

The classroom studies more or less being theoretical, the students get wonderful opportunity

to apply these things practically.

Teamwork, Leadership Skills, Time Management, Effective Communication Skills, Effective

Decision Making are just a few things students learn while participating and organizing

various projects and programmes.

NSS provide avenues for students from different social and racial backgrounds to engage in

the same activities and in the process get to know one another better. This enriches students‘

social experience and enables them to have a better understanding of the entire cross-section

of society. By working together with other individuals, students learn to negotiate,

communicate, manage conflict, and lead others. Taking part in these out-of-the classroom

activities helps students to understand the importance of critical thinking skills, time

management, and academic and intellectual competence. Involvement in activities helps

students mature socially by providing a setting for student interaction, relationship formation,

and discussion. Working outside of the classroom with diverse groups of individuals allows

for students to gain more self-confidence, autonomy, and appreciation for others' differences

and similarities.

3.6.8. How does the institution ensure the involvement of the community in its reach out

activities and contribute to the community development? Detail on the initiatives of the

institution that encourage community participation in its activities?

INFLIBNET facility

Printing, scanning and photo copying facility is provided for students and staff

On-line study-materials of some eminent teachers are shown to the students by

4.3.6 Elaborate giving suitable examples on how the learning activities and technologies

deployed (access to on-line teaching - learning resources, independent learning, ICT enabled

classrooms/learning spaces etc.) by the institution place the student at the centre of teaching-

learning process and render the role of a facilitator for the teacher.

Students are motivated only when the learning activities are authentic, challenging, multidisciplinary,

and multisensory. Videos, television, and computer multimedia software can be excellent

instructional aids to engage students in the learning process. ICT enabled classes can thus enhance the

teaching-learning process. Using ICT students can initiate their own inquiry, develop hypotheses, and

then test them. They provide opportunities for students to practice basic skills on their own time and

at their own pace. They provide access to worldwide information resources and offer the most cost-

effective means for bringing the world into the classroom. This way the student is placed at the center

of teaching-learning process and the teacher assumes the role of a facilitator. Keeping these in mind

the Institute facilitates the followings

In some of the classrooms there present on-line projection facility to use asa

teaching-learning resources

Some of the Desktop computers are used solely by the students with internet facility

– this will help them for independent learning.

Computer library with terminals and internet facility are technology enabled learning

spaces

4.4 Maintenance of Campus Facilities

4.4.1 How does the institution ensure optimal allocation and utilization of the available

financial resources for maintenance and upkeep of the following facilities (substantiate your

statements by providing details of budget allocated during last four years)?

for planning and budgeting at the institution level. The overall maintenance of campus facilities

solely depends upon the funds provided by the Government and UGC. In order to have a clear

picture, the amounts of expenditure incurred by the college for maintenance of campus facilities

under different heading are as follows:

The college authority along with the NSS and Science Forum unit has also taken many initiatives

like, plantation programmes, solid waste management, awareness programme, campus cleaning

progrrame etc to make the college campus an eco friendly Eden.

Green auditing:

Already we have conducted the green auditing programmes in our college premises. College

authority has also taken many initiatives like, plantation programmes and Afforestation practices,

conservation of nonrenewable energy, solid waste management etc to make the college campus eco

friendly and pollution free. College authority also has taken some steps regarding beautification of the

campus.

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

Energy conservation

Use of renewable energy

Water harvesting

Check dam construction

Efforts for Carbon neutrality

Plantation

Hazardous waste management

e-waste management

Energy Conservation:

Special care is taken to reduce the misuse of electricity.

Use of renewable energy:

Nil

Water harvesting:


Page 239

Water harvesting not only a local or nation demand but also a global demand now a day due to the

scarcity of fresh water with a special emphasis to portable water. In this context college has set up an

open rain water harvest project and the college has sufficient amount of water stored for harvesting

and plantation practices.

Check dam construction: Nil

Efforts for Carbon Neutrality

Plantation of trees has been increased to sequester CO2 emitted in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse gas emission has been reduced by encouraging the employees and students to

carpool their travel.

Plantation:

Plantation practice is one of the most important and healthy practice that the college performs at

regular intervals and so the college campus is actually lush green. Every year during the

―Briksharopan and Banamohotsab‖ i.e during monsoon as per plantation programme college practices

afforestation. The campus has many rare and indigenous species of herbs, plants and trees which

increases the biodiversity of flora and fauna as whole.

Hazardous Waste Management:

Hazardous waste is such a waste which cannot be managed easily and effectively. In our college

generation of hazardous waste is minimum and so till now no such management is required yet, but

still the waste generated in the department of chemistry is actually minimized by reducing the usage

of different organic and inorganic solvents. Other than that the other wastes that is generated is of

biodegradable type which is actually gathered, collected together and then composted in pit and

further more the waste after conversion is used as as fertilizer for the plantation purpose in the

college. Thus ecological sustenance is maintained and a healthy environment is maintained in the

college.

E-Waste Management:

Electronic waste, such as discarded computers, office electronic equipments, mobile phones,

television sets and refrigerators are disposed off as per their conditions.

Recycling and disposal of e-waste involves risk, it is handed over to expert persons only for

dismantling or recycling.

6. Problems encountered and resources required:

In the implementation of the NSS practice, the major problem that the college encounters is that of

lack of adequate fund. The NSS activities are performed with the fund released by Govt. (which has

share of both Central and State govt.) from time to time. For instance the fund released by Govt.

during the session 2012-13 for NSS activities are mentioned below.

Regular activities Amount in

Rs. (a)

Special camp

activities

Amount

in Rs. (b)

Central Share 15,060.00 Central Share 15,185.00

State Share 5,280.00 State Share 5,058.00

Total Sanction 20,340.00 - 20,243.00

Grand Total (a +b) 40,583.00

The college NSS unit has the enrolment capacity of 120 volunteers. To implement different social

extension activities with this meager fund of Rs. 40,583/- is very difficult. This financial constraint is

the main obstacle in the efficient and sustained execution of different social extension activities of the

college. As the college is a Government college, it has no autonomy to generate any fund or fees from

the students or other sources.

On the other in promoting this value based education such as NCC, the constraints or limitations that

the college faced is that of financial resources. As the college is guided by State Government rules,

the college on its own cannot generate any fund or collect any fees from the students to meet the

expenses in connection with implementation of different social extension activities/ programmes. Due

to this reason The Ministry of Defense, Government of India through the Commanding Officer of

North-east India sanctions funds for the NCC cadets for smooth functioning of the NCC Units

running in colleges. The funds provided for the cadets are in the nature of Tiffin Allowance and

Washing Allowance. There is restriction in practice of parade for cadets as the concerned departments

provide Tiffin allowance for cadets @ Rs.12/ only per cadet for a maximum of 20 days in a year.

The college has no scope for preparing and allocating funds for planning and organizing extension

and outreach programmes. All the activities are implanted as per grants allocated and received from


Page 250

Government. The fund sanctioned for carrying out the activities was very much insufficient. Due to

result of that Government enhances the rate of refreshment allowances to NCC cadets @ Rs. 15 /- per

parade of 40 mins. w.e.f 1st Sept. 2014.

33 Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning :

Step 1 - Making an idea about weakness and required learning capacity of

incumbents of department by proper interaction.

Step 2 – Planning topics of the Syllabus as per requirement.

Step 3 – Preparing acceptable study materials.

Step 4 – Delivering lectures with interaction.

Step 5 – Evaluating regularly by class tests.


Page 279

Step 6 – Power point presentations.

Step 7 – Special care taken for SC/ST/PH and backward students.

Step 8 – Ball and Sticks used in some special classes.

Step 9 – Conducting mini projects to generate scientific temper.


The student of the Chemistry Department actively involve with NSS, NCC, Science Forum etc.


Strength :

Department of Chemistry is one of the active science departments of Govt. Degree

College, Dharmanagar in existence. At present department of Chemistry is has 20 seats of

honours and 60 pass at undergraduate level. The department has Four faculty members,

all of them are very sincere and students friendly.

Good undergraduate level experimental setups for Honours as well as general courses are

avail Department of Chemistry.

The university results reveals the passing percentage of the Students of both honors and

pass is above 95% and the students are highly appreciated in their future place of study

and work and most of them are well placed in various Government and private

organizations.

The Department is moderately equipped with various scientific instruments for the

conducting the practical of undergraduate level (Honors and Pass) as well as for the

purpose of research.

Internet connection is available for teachers and 3rd year students. Text books and

Reference books as listed by Tripura University are available in college library. Some

books (including specimen copies) for students and teachers (preferable for various

chapters) are stored in department for study in ‗free times‘ during college hours.


Page 280

Weakness :

The department is seriously feeling the shortage of faculty strength and at least 05

(five) sufficiently qualified permanent teachers are required for well functioning of

the teaching activities, future research and up gradation of the department for

advanced studies.

More standard undergraduate experimental set-up for students and sophisticated

equipment‘s/instruments for research activities and project related works are lacking

in the department.

Online library facility and separate computer lab for the department are unavailable.

No Supporting staffs viz. demonstrator, teaching assistant, laboratory assistant, and

Group D staff are available.

The faculty members of the department yet could not start active and independent

research due to lack of availability of major grants but hopeful to receive the same

from various funding agencies in future.

No PG, M.Phil and Ph.D degree programmes.

Opportunities :

To introduce PG programme.

Interactions with people attached to higher studies and research works in Chemistry and

different chemistry related subjects (for eg food technology, forensic sciences etc.)

including Ex-students engaged in different chemistry originated fields are very much

helpful especially for students for their future planning.

To start soil and water testing facilities for the adjacent areas to facilitated local people.

Challenges :

Majority of the Honors and Pass students generally come from Bengali medium schools

and face difficulties with English medium books & lectures/instructions delivered by

faculty members, though they posses sufficient scientific aptitude so it is a real challenge

for the faculty members of the department to motivate them and help them to grow their

self reliance which can show the path to build their career.

To strengthen Institution-Industry relationship.

To recognize and reach the below average students.

Strength:

The student-teacher ratio is in consonance with UGC norms. As the ratio of student–teacher is

adequate, individual attention can be given to each student of the department. Most of the

faculties in our department are well experienced and possesses multiple qualifications in addition

to the normal qualification. The sincerity, punctuality and dedication of the faculty members

motivate the students in their academic pursuits. The performance of the students of our

department is excellent in terms of percentage of students qualifying in university examinations.

There is a separate teachers‘ common room for the department with internet facilities for the

faculties. This facilitates in smooth administration of the department.

Weakness

The major weakness of the department is its input quality of students. Though the intake capacity

is 50, we have been facing dearth of eligible applicants to opt for Honours Course in Commerce

due to lack of feeding schools offering Commerce stream at +2 stages. As most of the students

are coming from Bengali medium, they take time to follow English medium texts and references

books as well as the instructions of the teachers. This hinders them to compete with the students

of outside states.

Opportunities

There are many opportunities open to the pass out students Commerce Department in terms of

employment scope both in Government and Corporate sector. Every organization irrespective of

its nature like Government, Public, Private, Profit-making, Non-profit making requires an

Accountant for systematic recording of books of accounts and preparation of final results of the

enterprise at the end of an accounting year. Commerce graduates are well equipped with

appropriate knowledge and skills to serve the purpose of Accounting of every organization. There


Page 291

is also ample scope for Commerce graduates to start business of SME as they acquire enough

skills in the area of entrepreneurship. There are also opportunities for pursuing commerce related

professional courses like CA,ICWA, CS, MBA and Bachelor in Law etc. as a better career option

in terms of self-employment as well as job prospects.

Challenges

The most vital challenge faced by the Commerce Department is its quality of input of students.

Students taking admission to the department does not possess the basic concepts of the subjects,

which demands enormous time for infusing the basic knowledge of Accounting and its related

subjects. This has become a great challenge for the teachers of our department. The department

have been constantly facing problem of adequate infrastructural facilities. However for

independent ICT enabled classrooms, we have submitted a proposal to UGC for procurement of

additional computers, Projector, Photocopier etc for the department. The Department of Higher

Education seldom allows the faculties for participating in Orientation, Refresher Courses or other

Faculty Development Programmes organized by Academic Staff Colleges of UGC.

Strength

Economics is the most vibrant and relevant area of study all over the world.

Most of the faculties in our department are well experienced and possesses multiple

qualifications in addition to the normal qualification.

Weakness

Inadequate number of full time faculties. The major weakness of the department is its

input quality of students.

Though the intake capacity is 30, we have been facing dearth of eligible applicants to opt

for Honours Course in Economics due to lack of feeding schools offering Economics

stream at +2 stages without Mathematics.

As most of the students are coming from Bengali medium, they take time to follow


Page 299

English medium texts and references books as well as the instructions of the teachers.

This hinders them to compete with the students of outside states.

Opportunities:

There are many opportunities open to the pass out students Economics Department in

terms of employment scope both in Government, NGOs and Corporate sector.

There are also opportunities for pursuing some professional courses like MBA, MSW and

MRD etc. as a better career option in terms of self-employment as well as job prospects.

Challenges

The most vital challenge faced by the Economics Department is its quality of input of

students.

Students taking admission to the department does not possess the basic concepts of the

Mathematics, which demands enormous time for infusing the basic knowledge of

Mathematics. This has become a great challenge for the teachers of our department.

The department have been constantly facing problem of adequate infrastructural facilities.

The student-teacher ratio is not in consonance with UGC norms. As the ratio of student –teacher

is inadequate, individual attention cannot be given to each student of the department. Most of the

faculties in our department are well experienced and possesses multiple qualifications in addition

to the normal qualification. The sincerity, punctuality and dedication of the faculty members

motivate the students in their academic pursuits. The performance of the students of our

department is excellent in terms of percentage of students qualifying in university examinations.

There is a separate teachers‘ common room for the department with internet facilities for the

faculties.

Strength:

The Borok language, Kak-Borak, also known as Tripuri, is any of the native languages of

the Tripuri people of the Indian state of Tripura and neighbouring areas of Bangladesh. The

word Kók Borok is a compound of kók "language" and borok "people", which is used specifically

for the Tripuri people. As it is the mother tongue of many tribes in Tripura, a handsome number

of students are interested to take Kakborak as a subject.

Weakness:

We have just got sanction for this subject. As a result there is no permanent faculty member for

this subject. Number of students are also very few. Problems are also there with the availability of

books.

Opportunities:

There are many Kokborok-speaking tribes in the Indian states of West

Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Mizoram and the neighbouring provinces of the country Bangladesh mainly

in Chittagong Hill Tracts. It is the standard for teaching and literature. It is taught as the medium of

instruction up to class fifth and as subject up to graduate level. As the subject is on the way of

developing, there is a lot of scope to work with this subject.

Challenges:

Non-tribal community of Tripura are not interested to take this subject. They are not confident

with this language as with Bengali, English or Hindi. It is the main challenge of this language

subject to spread this subject among all community of Tripura and also outside Tripura.

One student of the department qualified in M.Sc from Tripura University (A Central University)

with a first class. In the year 2014, one student stood 2nd

in the Final University Examination. As

the department is only a few years old, number of passed out students is quite small. No

systematic record has yet been kept, but many students qualified in different administrative

Softwares are used to show the students three dimensional animations for teaching courses like

dynamics, statics, three dimensional geometry. Very often computer generated plots are used to

teach the students on topics like functions, two dimensional geometry, calculus etc. Softwares

like Matlab, Mathematics, Maple are used in those purposes. For computer practical and practice

we are offering computer in the ratio 1:1. Of course the main teaching aid is chalk/marker and

board.

For practical of numerical analysis we suggest our students to collect data from practical fields

rather than just copy a question from text book.

Through regular Class tests and Unit tests students are made accustomed with Examinations. In

brief-

Students are motivated for research Inflibnet for various topics to prepare their projects.


Mathematical And Science Quiz are organized t create interest for Mathematics.

Daily 5 to 10 minutes are are spent in the classes to revise the discussions of previous

days classes and questions from students are encouraged in class.

The students are encouraged to appear in the weekly test.

Softwares are used to show the students three dimensional animations for teaching courses like

crystal structure, optical phenomana, wave nature of light, dynamics, statics, three dimensional

geometry. Very often computer generated plots are used to teach the students on topics like

functions, two dimensional geometry, calculus etc. Power point presentation are an integral part

of the knowledge imparting process.

SWOC analysis of the department

Strength

Obedient and attentive students.

Brilliant Results.

Qualified, Competent Faculty.

Well maintained and well equiped laboratories for both Honours and General courses

students.

Weakness

Shortage of teacher.

No Laboratories technician staff.

Scarcity of Journals and Research facility.


Quality students are avoiding general degree course.

Lack of lab instruments for carrying out projects for final year student.s

Opportunities :

Students strength are increasing day by day.

Lab equipments are increasing as fund are provided more.

So the Dept. is reaching in a position to have P.G course.

Apart from teaching, dept. is providing conducive environment for research.

Certificate course may be initiated.

Challenges :

In H.S level a large number of students are afraid of having Mathematics as elective

subject so number of students may be come down in near future.


Page 380

Students are more kine in technical education instead of basic sciences.

As courses are mostly theory based so less chance to be absorbed.
