PART – A: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Curricular aspects
Government First Grade College, Nagamangala upholds the motto of “To train the students in knowledge and skills from all the possibilities to compete and achieve excellence through confidence and to make them intellectual human resources” in its graceful realization of the vision through dissemination of knowledge and value based holistic instruction. The institution offers 3 U.G Programs (B.A, B.Com. and B.B.M.) affiliated to Mysore University. All programs are financed by Department of Collegiate Education, Government of Karnataka.
In addition to it, regular enrichment programs are conducted to satisfy the diverse needs of the student community.
Faculty members participate in and organize seminars / workshops at Regional level and special guidance on ICT teaching technology, have resulted in sufficient exposure to recent advances and changes in curriculum innovative initiatives.
Several resource persons with enriched knowledge in various disciplines have visited the institution for special lectures. The faculty members are consulted on academic matters and curriculum design & development by Mysore University through representation in academic bodies of both university and state. 02 of the faculty members participate actively as Board of Examiners. The institution has always fostered a collaborative network and has linkages with all
its beneficiaries such as industries, NGOs and local knowledge groups and the university to facilitate curriculum designing and career planning. 2. Teaching – Learning & Evaluation
Government First Grade College, Nagamangala maintains a student – centric environment conductive for quality education and student empowerment. The conducive teaching-learning atmosphere and open admission to all eligible students have lead to maximum student enrollment in almost all disciplines. The admission committee involves faculty members who help & counsel students in selecting the right course. The newly admitted students are assessed soon after commencement of the program and are offered bridge classes to negotiate the syllabus of the program. The institution conducts remedial classes for slow learners to improve their academic performance. Advanced learners are also encouraged through challenging assignments & projects.
Support and guidance services are provided to students at the academic, personal and social levels. In this regard mentoring system contributes significant “Peer group learning” helps slow learners where the advanced learners act as peer teachers and help the slow learners.
The institution has organized several programs to sensitize staff and students on gender inclusion environmental issues, life skills and community orientation.
The institution has planned & organized teaching, learning and evaluation schedules by strictly following the Academic calendar of the university.
Strict adherence to Bio-metric attendance, maintaining work diaries, review meetings headed by the principal & the internal quality committee plays a vital role in quality enhancement and sustenance of teaching learning process.
Regional level seminars, workshops, expert talks, debates, quizzes and group discussions are integral to the learning process.
2
Quality is given utmost consideration as the government appoints the faculty through direct recruitment. The department has recruited guest faculty through on-line based on experience and merit. Measures are taken by the institution for regular quality improvement of the faculty. The quality of teaching and learning is monitored at the departmental and institutional levels through internal academic audit & evaluation by stake holders.
Regular tests, assignments, internal examinations are conducted to evaluate the students as per the university norms. The transparency is maintained in allotment of internal marks.
The grievance cell addresses complaints relating to internal assessment grades & other grievances. The student’s performance and progress is closely monitored by mentors and feedback is communicated to parents. 3. Research, Consultancy & extension
The college is not a Research Centre. Recently, promoting research which has invariably become one of the major focus is institutions of education. Keeping this in mind, the college has set up a research cell to initiate research activities among students.
The institution has to its credit 01 Ph.D. holder; 02 faculty members are pursuing their Ph.D, 07 M. Phil holders and 05 NET/SLET holders.
The Research unit functions with the objective to encourage faculty members & students to pursue research. The research team has been engaged in encouraging students to write synopsis and research proposals through conducting field surveys and visit to libraries and research centers. Some of the departments have signed collaborations with institutions/NGOs to organize workshops. Research activities are also encouraged in almost all the departments. The faculties are invited as resource persons and published articles. We have special extension programs with focus on under privileged and vulnerable sectors of the society.
4. Infrastructure and learning resources
The college is a government institution and there are no provisions to collect higher fees other than allotted by the government. The whole budget depends on allotment by government. The Principal and College Development Council has taken maximum efforts to equip classrooms for more than 739 students, staff rooms, library, sports room, IQAC, NSS/Scouts and Guides, computer lab which are extensively used for effective teaching – learning.
The institution also has a playground with volleyball, Kho-Kho, shuttle badminton, Kabaddi grounds and the college uses the stadium for track events and in-door games. An Audio-Visual room is available within the campus.
The college is situated 05 kms away from town limit with Canteen and refreshments are available within 100 meters around the campus. The library is situated at the heart of the building with Inflibnet facility and sufficient space for reading is available. The entire campus is well maintained with beautiful shadow trees. 5. Student support and progression
An effective students’ welfare mechanism functions in the institution with a view to empower students in this campus. Financial assistance in the form of scholarships/ fee concessions is given to students with an intention that no student discontinues his /her studies due to financial constraints. The amount of scholarship disbursed is increasing year by year.
3
Grievance cell, anti-ragging, anti-sexual harassment is effectively functioning in the campus. Students actively participate in Sports, NSS/Scouts and Guides to improve their skills. The competitive cell has motivated students to write competitive exams, the success of which is indicated in employment of students. Progression to higher education is low compared to the strength, probably because most of the girl students are denied higher education because of non availability of Post Graduation centers nearby, or due to marriage. Most of the students prefer B.Ed. courses rather than post graduation. The college has registered Alumni and 25 various committees are functioning as support systems for students. 6. Governance, leadership and management
The Principal is the managing authority of the college monitored by the Department of Collegiate Education, Government of Karnataka. He manages both the academic and administrative with a stated quality policy of which the IQAC has an important role to play. The college advisory council and CDC meet regularly to distribute funds collected by CDF and the Department on preferential basis. Feedback system regularly informs about the loopholes in the system which are set right with thorough discussion. The institution is democratic in its functioning with decentralized distribution of duties and responsibilities including all stakeholders. Great efforts are done by the Principal to communicate with higher authorities related to the infrastructural and other needs of the college and properly utilize the funds for overall development. 7. Innovations & Best practices
The institution has always encouraged innovations as a culture. Innovative practices are initiated in teaching - learning process in a significant way. Best – practices are the final outcome of innovating initiatives. Among several such initiatives, the Best practice includes single window system, computerization of library and feedback system.
The second Best practice includes the initiatives taken by Internal Quality Assurance Cell. This involves continuous planning and strategizing one level and effective execution of the same. The system holds together heterogeneous components of students & staff into one whole functional unit such that each gets space and specific responsibility which in turn makes productive contribution towards the institutional growth.
Some of the major initiatives taken by IQAC include mentoring, remedial classes using resources available in the college, data collection-documentation and increased participation of students in activities related to college and community.

Our Logo
Rationale of Logo:
The logo of the college adapted recently, highlights the vision of the institution ––
“To train the students in knowledge and skills from all the possibilities to compete and archive excellence through confidence and to make them intellectual human resources”.The logo specifies the regional culture which has at its centre Sowmya Keshava temple withthe rich heritage. With the great blessings of Sowmya Keshava, the students work hard, study welland go for higher education. It is said that this temple was built during “Hoysala” empire and the same empire gave shelter to many poets. It shows that it is a land of education in which education was encouraged.
1.1.2. How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective
implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate through specific example(s). The college meticulously develops action plans for effective implementation of the
curriculum. Bench marks are set for each department to implement the curriculum effectively. At the outset, the principal of the college conducts protracted meetings with the staff members of various department heads to develop various strategies for effective implementation of the curriculum. Teachers are encouraged beforehand to impart the curriculum through innovative teaching methods such as presentations, assignments, discussions, workshops, seminars, industrial visits, computer education apart from regular/traditional teaching methods.
The staff members of various teaching departments conduct their internal meetings and develop academic plans for the coming academic year. Keeping in view, the number of working days available, the syllabus is divided into units which are to be finished by a given deadline. Each department of the college follows the academic calendar issued by the affiliating university.
The college plans its annual academic schedule which clearly mentions the topics to be taught and number of working days allocated to respective topics, the amount of syllabus to be tested in various class, monthly, terminal or half yearly exams. Heads of each Department prepare the work load based on which teachers are recruited on-line apart from the permanent staff. Teachers are guided to prepare lesson plans as per the syllabus allotted.
18
Theoretical class room teachings are delivered using ICT facilities wherever necessary by providing live examples for effective implementation of the curriculum.
To help students for better practical understanding of the curriculum industrial visits, Projects and social surveys are assigned for students to complete.
The Staff Council and IQAC meet at the end of each year to assess the academic activities of the College, and suggestions for improvement are noted. At the beginning of the next year, meetings are held to draw up an academic calendar based on these suggestions. Each department presents its action plan in the staff meeting at the beginning of the academic year. Feedback from stakeholders is also considered during this stage.
For the effective implementation of the schedule, the time table committee is constituted for formulation of the general academic timetable and methods to record attendance, designing of teacher’s work diary, conduct of internal and university examinations, operation of grievance redressal related to exams etc. Monthly planners and lesson plans are drawn up by individual teachers for effective transaction of university curriculum. The internal examinations are conducted according to the academic calendar and parent-teacher meetings are organized to discuss the performance of the student by Mentors. Tutorial hours are utilized to help slow learners and extra classes are arranged so that the syllabus may be completed well in time. 1.1.3. What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from
the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices? The curriculum prepared by the Mysore University, Mysore to which the college is
affiliated, is well transacted to the students after serious preparation as well as critical thought by the teachers concerned. Being an affiliated Institution we are always in tune into the latest trends in education and guidelines.
The Mysore University regularly organizes Seminars, Orientation programs and Workshops to keep the knowledge and teaching aptitude of the teachers updated. The faculty of the college can discuss their issues or problems, if any, while participating in the meetings of the Board of Studies.

effective curriculum delivery, we give weight age to academic improvement and at the same time give sufficient importance to overall development of students by encouraging them to work with various forums of the college such as NSS, Scouts and Guides, cultural, social and literary forums and other various Committee functioning in the college.
The college relies upon the globally trusted and followed teaching strategy, i.e., the chalk and talk method. However, the college and the teaching faculty have taken many initiatives for effective delivery of the curriculum. The College faculty is trained by the computer department to make them familiar with the use of computers so that they are able to use the modern technological resources internet, projectors etc. to supplement their class room lectures. Each Department has Book Banks for the use of teachers and students wherein all the latest books are made available to the faculty for their reference. In addition to the regular subject classes, the college also organizes special lectures by inviting experts from various fields to share their knowledge with the students. The college also organizes special Personality Development Programs for its students.
The students are also taken out for educational tours such as industries/trade fairs, exhibitions, field visits and visit to places of historical importance/research centers to provide them a firsthand knowledge of various things. Furthermore, for effective curriculum delivery, the college has got the provision of special/ remedial classes for slow learners.

affiliating university has a system in place to get recommendations from its affiliated colleges through Board of Studies. Few of the faculty represents the academic bodies of the MysoreUniversity who regularly participate in the process of syllabus design. This is mainly due to the fact that most of the faculties of the college are recently employed with an experience of not more than six to eight years.
Our teachers also participate in the discussions relating to workshops conducted by the university. Whenever they find that the syllabus needs to be modified to meet the present trends, they communicate their ideas in black and white to their respective Members of board of Studies through the Principal of the college.
The members of the faculty brain storm and discuss amongst themselves the relevance of the syllabus designed by the affiliating university. While recommending or forwarding the suggestions to the Board of Studies our teachers normally take into consideration the students’ feedback as well as other faculty members of various departments.
It has been a regular practice of the college to depute senior most faculties to meet the students in the class rooms exclusively and informally outside the class room to get their informal feedback.

are achieved in the course of implementation? The institution has formed communication channels among all the stakeholders to
ensure that objectives of the curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation. Once the academic session is in full swing and all the laid action plans are being
followed, the college at various points takes stock of the effectiveness of these action plans.

To do this, various tests, monthly exams are conducted to monitor the outcomes of the syllabus. Systematic documentation is maintained to review the outcomes of the curriculum. If at any step, the college realizes that the laid objectives are not being achieved; the college plans for a remedial action and strategies are devised to cover up the gaps, if any; in the delivery of the curriculum to ensure that it enables the college to achieve the stated objectives of the curriculum.

At the end of each periodical test, progress reports which consist of unit test results and attendance status are submitted to the office for further action. Counseling is given to slow learners. Parents of such students are called to meet their respective faculty member, if required.

policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders? The institution has evolved a stakeholders’ web by forming different platforms like

2. Goal
The main objective of the institution is to transform the students into well meaning citizens through the committed pattern of instructions based on carefully prepared and well designed curricular aspects. At the same time it is also important and prime responsibility of any institution to prepare their wards into emotionally well balanced, morally perfect and social values respectable citizen of the society rather than preparing them only for the academic aspects. The institution has also taken an initiation to make every student to be positive towards the social value based and lifesaving program in their life time.
3. The Context
The college within a short period of seven years has adopted many best practices to create awareness and to serve for social cause along with academic disciplines. sports and cultural events has been part of the college since its inception. The college has crossed many hurdles in day to day activities to serve the young generation on different issues in making them to face and involve in the social value based activities. Each department was taken so much of positive steps in implementing the innovative way to reach the main stream. The blood donation and determination of blood group task to be performed voluntarily with a sense of institutional social responsibility. The institution which understands this need in the present context, to create social awareness among rural youths and send a message that the institution is keen take social problems as a prime concern in the society.
The college on its own can’t be able to do so. hence in order to perform it as a basic should have specialized agency co-operation and the service are definitely necessary to implement it.
4. The Practice:
Presently our institution is working on its own campus with adequate amenities .It is an opportunity to take immediate action of any plans without any disturbances as our college faced earlier in the high school premises at Nagamangla town.
The best practice has been adopted since 2013 and the college, plans to continue the task in the future also. The NSS, Red Cross student’s wing of the college with the collaboration of District blood bank Mandya, organized a blood donation camp at the college campus on 8-2-2014.
Mohammed Raffiq in -charge for blood bank along with his medical team gave a speech about ‘The importance of the blood donation in the present scenario and given information on Personal health benefit for blood donor.’
117
Still more valuable information motivated the students to take part in more number. The formality which allows as an individual to involve in the voluntary blood donation process was finalized with the co-operation of the supporting staff.
The medical team drew blood both from the students and teachers donated blood voluntarily; Totally 57 unit blood was collected on that day.
The second year blood donation camp was organized on 11-8-2014 with the same departments with the support of the staff members and collaboration with the blood bank unit, which located in the district government hospital at mandya.
Dr.H.R.Shobha has given valuable information about the Necessity of blood donation as a responsible citizen of the society and inspired the students to involve, if the basic test permits them to donate blood voluntarily.

Because of the inspired speech by doctor, some of our students succeeded by convincing their friends to involve in the voluntary blood donation camp with the right sprit.
The detection of the blood group of the students was done on the same spot, which help them to know their blood group without stepping in to the diagnostic centers.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
Since our college satiated five Km away from the town limits, It is inconvenient to meet the sponsors and the public to involve in large number. The main aim of the college was to organize these kinds of programs successfully. The college faced many difficulties in approaching the public to involve actively in the blood donation program due to the lack of transportation facilities. It is an open secret that the entire staff members were busy with their hectic schedule in the regular department work due to the semester system. And it is true that the criteria of drawing blood has played major role in making the female students depressed due to their body weight that was not up to the required level , even though the students were very much interested in donating the blood voluntarily.

Government First Grade College, Nagamangala is a growing college in the rural area. It is facing difficulties with the neighboring college since its inception regarding strength is concerned, which located in the same area.

The spirit of the students was enhanced during their visit to analyze the significance of the particular place and the contribution towards progress of the society. The students met several people during their visit program and gathered information about their need related to particular place or the organization. These kinds of programs helped the students to understand the thing in an easy manner.
6. Problems encountered and Resources required:
The major problem was that the college is not receiving any financial assistance from the department to organize these kinds of programs, though the institution made own arrangement by using local available resources to fulfill the task.
Since our college is located in the rural area, the female students find difficult to get permission for these kinds of programs where the department heads taken initiation and convince their parents to involve in it. Availability of permission, financial resources are the major issues which need to be concentrate more for designing and to implement it. This is the appreciable job done by the institution in its small tenure.
