PREFACE
It gives me immense pleasure to submit the re-accreditation report
(Cycle-2) of our college to the National Assessment & Accreditation Council
(NAAC), Bangalore.
Our former prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once said
“The destiny of a nation is shaped in the class rooms”. True to this
statement, every effort should be made to remind the young inheritors, their
heritage and provide them such guidance and inspiration as may be required to
prepare them to face the future challenges with enthusiasm and confidence.
Aiming to be a centre for academic excellence and higher learning with a
mission “To impart quality education to empower students and to
eradicate social evils in the community”, the college is constantly trying to
restructure and renovate its infrastructure and practices. We feel convinced to
assert that we are on the right path in developing necessary ambience for
enhancement of research aptitude of the faculties and all round development of
personality of students blended with social commitment.
As an endeavor towards imparting quality education, the college was
accredited with C ++ grade in 2004 – 05. It is assured that all the observations of
NAAC peer team, 2004 have thoroughly been taken care of. It is because of the
measures initiated as the post accreditation quality sustenance move, that our
untiring efforts have started yielding satisfactory dividends. College by utilizing
the resources from UGC as grown steadily in the field of research and also has
improved as for as infrastructure is considered. The student strength is also
progressed both in terms of number and result during the post accreditation
period.
It is our bounden duty to acknowledge and appreciate the synergy put
forth by the authorities of the department of collegiate education, the college
development council, tumkur university, all the esteemed members of teaching,
non teaching staff, parents and alumni without whose co-operation this report
would not have been a possibility. The multi-faceted achievements of our
students presented in the report bears testimony to the effectiveness of our new
endeavor. We hope that the NAAC will also appraise and justify our sincere
efforts.
I look forward the visit of NAAC peer committee

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES
RAR–GFGCASCS: 2015-16 POST ACCREDITATION INTIATIVES
The evaluative suggestion made by the peer team on its first visit to the
college on 4th & 5th august 2004 and the action taken during the post
accreditation period is as under.
1. The government should take immediate steps to fill in all the teachers
vacancies caused by transfers, unauthorized absence and retirement.
The government has filled the vacancies through public service
commission and general transfers. The government has also made rules to
transfer the employees only at the end of the academic year and also
insists a minimum of five years stay to be eligible for next transfer.
2. The government should take appropriate action to prevent unauthorized
absence of part-time teachers.
The guest faculty, the then part time teacher’s appointment is made
centralized at commissionerate level and monitored through biometrics.
3. The government should take appropriate steps to pay the honorarium to
part time / guest faculty promptly.
The payment is promptly made to the bank accounts of the respective
guest teachers.
4. The remuneration of the part time faculty is very meager and it needs
immediate revision.
The Government of Karnataka has revised the remuneration of guest
faculty, the then part time teachers where in non NET/SLET/PhD teachers
will get Rs.8, 000=00 per month and with any of the above qualification
they are entitled to get Rs.10, 000=00 per month.
5. Frequent transfers dislocate teaching learning process in the college and
the government should try and avoid transfers during the academic year.
As said earlier, the transfers are initiated only at the end of academic
years once in five years to avoid chaos in teaching learning process.
6. When transfers are made, substitutes should be made available as early as
possible.
The commissionerate arranges to provide substitutes either by
deputation or appointing guest faculties for transfer vacancies.
7. The college may explore the possibility of introducing more course options
to increase flexibility in course combinations keeping in mind the latest
trends and social needs.
The college in its post accreditation period has started BBM under
management stream, Eng.S.P & M.A. (History) under social science stream

CRITERION – VI GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP
Being a government college the Department of Collegiate Education,
Government of Karnataka plays a vital role in recruitment, administration
and finance through management information system.
We have a college development council headed by the local member of the
legislative assembly which consists of ten members with principal as
member secretary and the office Gazetted manager as the treasurer. The
chairman of CDC is empowered to nominate the remaining members. The
main function of the CDC is to raise the funds from the public for the
development of the college and also it act as the guiding force for the
betterment of the college.
The college has college development funds, with the approval of the
council the principal is empowered to draw the funds for the fulfillment of
the college needs.
The major decisions in the matters of administration are taken in the
college council comprising the principal, the heads of the departments and
gezetted manager. Committees like admission committee, time-table
committee, disciplinary committee, purchase committee, sports
committee, library and reading room committee, NSS committee, student
welfare committee and examination committee which are monitored by
IQAC helps in taking decisions on the issues that bear on the general
administration of the college.

Various committees submit annual reports to IQAC, which in turn locates
deviations, discusses with its members and recommends the principal for
suitable action.

members for acquiring higher degrees like M.Phil and PhD through faculty
development programme of UGC. Institutions also depute teachers for
orientation and refresher courses and are also permitted to avail OOD
facilities to participate in seminars, conferences, and workshops.

SWOC ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTION
RAR–GFGCASCS: 2015-16 SWOC ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTION
Driven by our mission statement knowledge for underprivileged
Integration of teaching and research
Illustrious faculty, student centered teaching
High success rates in university examinations
Thirteen and five of our faculty members have been proactive as members
of board of examiners and board of studies respectively
Well stocked and partially automated library

The student teacher ratio is very high
Being an affiliated government college autonomy for academic
empowerment and financial mobilization is limited
Paucity of time for teachers for research activities
Limited career oriented programmes in the curriculum
Dependency on guest lecturers to look after the surplus work load
As college is located in a sprawling area of 9.31 acres of land further
expansion is possible
The college intends to develop research center
Lot of scope for empowerment of women from this socially and
economically backward area
The college has the necessary infrastructural resources to take this to a
higher level
Interdisciplinary approach at undergraduate level is a great opportunity
in the present era
Imparting quality education to the rural and marginalized sections of the
society and make them competent according to globalized benchmarks
Present curricular structure requires thorough haulage to suit the
employability quotient
As ours is the government affiliated college we have not been able to enter
into faculty exchange or student exchange programmes due to structural
and regulatory limitations
Attracting the companies for interviews and campus placements
