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

Page 9: GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA DEPARTMENT OF COLLEGIATE EDUCATION RE-ACCREDITATION REPORT ... · government of karnataka department of collegiate education re-accreditation report (cycle–ii)

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.

IQAC is actively involved in framing the academic plan for each year.

Various committees submit annual reports to IQAC, which in turn locates

deviations, discusses with its members and recommends the principal for

suitable action.

In order to empower the faculty, the Government of Karnataka has not

transferred the faculties frequently. Institution deputes its faculty

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.

experience of learning beyond traditional method of teacher-centered

lecturing. The two-way teaching methodology is being practiced. Emergent

technologies such as LCD, OHP, and charts have been integrated into the

curricula, which makes the student to acquaint the subject matter. Though,

seminars by the students is not the part of the curriculum, they have been

encouraged to take up the seminars and the response is quite appreciable.

Quiz competitions are being conducted at class level regularly, to make

them to be more familiar with the current events.

In latter part of each semester, study tours are conducted to the places of

interest, which fetches them an idea about ground reality, so that they can

compare the class room knowledge to that of the field condition.

Institution publishes multilingual annual magazine NELASIRI.

The college is trying to provide and nurture ambient research

environment for both teachers and students. This is evidenced by the

completed and ongoing minor research projects, funds sanctioned for

conducting national conferences, research papers and books published,

fresh proposals submitted to UGC seeking grants for conducting national

conferences and research projects.

Through our programme SEVASANIHA different services meant for

students are made available to them in respective class rooms, which

results in saving valuable time of the students.

Our programme SAMUDAYA SPANDANA under which the NSS units of

our college in addition to their routine work extend the social services to

the nearby rural community and play a role towards the eradication of

social evils around the area.

SWOC ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTION

Page 25: GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA DEPARTMENT OF COLLEGIATE EDUCATION RE-ACCREDITATION REPORT ... · government of karnataka department of collegiate education re-accreditation report (cycle–ii)

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 students of the college come from surrounding villages which do not

have frequent conveyance facilities, affecting the success rate

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

7.1 ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS 7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a green audit of its campus and facilities?

Though, there is no formal structured green audit mechanism, still the

NSS units of this institution pay extra attention towards maintaining

environment, conducive to the students and others. There are countable

numbers of trees in the old campus with little room for growing more. As far

as new campus is concerned, construction work hinders environmental

friendly activities. As recommended by IQAC, the department of Botany is

planning to bring up botanical garden, in association with other departments.

It also aims at establishing check dam and rain water harvesting units after

the completion of the compound.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco

friendly?

Energy conservation: Nil

Use of renewable energy : Nil

water harvesting : Proposed to start

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.

The college has taken efforts to internalize best practices some of them are

as follows.

The college has a rapport with the stake holders through electronic media,

letters and college website.

Centralized admission process is practiced.

To avoid chaos of standing in queues, college collects fees and issue marks

cards in the class rooms itself.

Teachers extend financial and non financial support to deserving students.

NSS and NCC units organize community based programmes like, blood

donation, health checkup, plantations, awareness programs and other

social issues and community development.

Students are taken to field trips and study tours to get them practical

exposure to life time situations.

The best practices which are contributed to the achievement of

institutional objectives are elaborated below

Best practice: 1

Title of practice: “SEVA SANIHA”

Goal: The objective of the practice is to save the valuable time of the

students

Context: The College is working in two campuses one and a half kilometer

apart with single administrative office located in the new campus causing a

lot of inconvenience to a majority of students in all activities during the

course of studies. Hence, SEVA SANIHA is launched

The practice: The College offers the following facilities to students under

this practice

i) Collecting fees in the respective class rooms

ii) Issuing and collecting filled application for scholarships, bus pass, and

examinations in the class rooms

iii) Issue of hall tickets and marks cards in the class rooms

RAR–GFGCASCS: 2015-16 CRITERION – VII: INNOVATION AND BEST PRACTICES

Evidence of success:

This has been a great success as the number of students studying in the

college is quite large and office work gets decentralized due to sharing of

responsibilities by teaching staff. The decentralization has benefited both

students and office staff.

Problems encountered:

The provision of this practice results in slight disturbance in the regular

academic schedule.

Best practice: 2

Title of the practice : “SAMUDAYA SPANDANA”

Goal: The primary aim of education is not only to elevate personal

standards but, also to discern one’s responsibility towards the society. Our

institution always wants its stake holders to fulfill their social

responsibilities.

Context: the outstanding vision of the college is to eradicate social evils of

the area which is located in a socio–economically backward place and it is

the dual responsibility of the college to inculcate values and work towards

promotion of the community.

Practice: The college uses its NSS and NCC units to share and shoulder the

community responsibilities as mentioned below.

i) Blood donation camp.

ii) Health checkup camps for human and live stock.

iii) AIDS, drug addiction and antisocial activities eradication drive.

v) Legal awareness and road safety rallies.

vi) Plantation and environmental hygienity awareness activities.

Evidence of success:

People in and around the area are benefited by the activities of

SAMUDAYA SPANDANA. The beneficiaries express their pleasure and extend

gratitude for the services rendered.

Problems encountered:

The institution encountered few hurdles while executing the

programmes as most of the folks here are under dark clutches of ignorance,

illiteracy and poverty.
