Jindal First Grade College for Women

NAAC-Self Study Report

Chairman’s Message

Dr S.R Jindal’s vision is to empower the rural women with quality based value

education. In this direction, establishing the Degree College was a great mile stone. What

started as a trickle is now a robust river with multiple tributaries. With strength of 84 in 2010

we have reached more than 500 students with three courses in less than 5 years. Dr S.R Jindal

believes that the real assets of an institution are its teachers and no stone is left unturned to

recharge teachers in terms of teaching and learning methodologies as it ultimately gets

transformed to students.

Going for NAAC accreditation is a very thoughtful and a bold decision in a sense that

college is just 4 years old and still there is a long way to go. The pressure from the local

village leaders, parents and students to start Post Graduate Courses has made us to go for this

wise decision. We believe with NAAC accreditation the quality bar will scale a new height.

K R Raghunath

Principal’s Message

Jindal First Grade College for Women was established in the year 2010 with a vision

to provide value based quality education to rural women. It was the vision of our patron

Dr S.R Jindal to empower and educate rural women and it was also his dream to take higher

education to the door steps of the rural women. This great vision is being fulfilled by the

institution by providing education to rural women from neighbouring villages. The growing

strength and excellent results has ignited the ambition in the minds of local people to urge the

management to start Post Graduate Courses and hence the NAAC accreditation.

In a span of less than 5 years the college has embarked upon various activities which

are student and community centric. It is our earnest desire to give society a woman who can

lead from the front. Though our institution is very young the mission for accreditation is

embarked, whereas the other institutions will take years going for NAAC. Our commitment

to quality and social justice is never compromised. Students across religion and caste are

admitted and are given host of facilities to continue education.

The decision to go for NAAC accreditation enhances our belief in quality education

and our main motto Quality Alone can empower the Individual. I am pleased to say that by

going for accreditation we are strengthening our quality policy.

CRITERION – I

CURRICULAR ASPECTS



24

SUMMARY OF CRITERION – I

CURRICULAR ASPECTS

The University designs the curriculum and the constituent college has to implement it

as per the guide lines. The college does not play any role in curriculum design however

college can give feedback about the curriculum.

The college makes efforts to realize goals and missions of its own by effectively

implementing the curriculum as designed by the University. For the effective planning and

implementation of the curriculum the college undertakes various measures such as preparing

a comprehensive curricular and co-curricular calendar with necessary working committees to

implement the same.

Since ours is affiliated college, even though we cannot take part in framing academic

syllabus, the college has constituted Academic Development Committee which consists of

regular meetings with experts of Industries. Based on committee suggestions, the college is

inculcating practical knowledge to the students through value added courses.

The syllabus is completed as per the expectations of the University and to the

satisfaction of the students. For effective transaction of the curriculum, the college organizes

student enrichment programs. The feedback from the student is obtained both orally and in

written format and other stake holders communicates their feedbacks at appropriate meetings.

The institution ensures that the objectives of curriculum are achieved with an instant

goal of providing quality education. The college ensures that the objective of curriculum is

imparted through innovative teaching methods such as power point presentation, seminars,

assignments, discussions, mock interviews, workshops, industrial visits, usage of WI-FI

facility, library etc. It also ensures that students are updated regarding the latest trends in their

area of specialization.

CRITERION – II

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION



26

SUMMARY CRITERION – II

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

The institution has absolute transparency in the admission process. An admission desk

is set up with the team of personnel to counsel the candidates and parents who wish to seek

admission to the various programs conducted by the institution. The admission desk

comprehensively provides multiple solutions to all the queries and enquiries regarding the

admission, this ensures wide access to the admission process followed by the institute and it

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

and educational backgrounds.

Prospectus of the college with comprehensive details of programs is printed every

year. The entry of the new students is made comfortable with the orientation programme

conducted by the institution and also a formal welcome accorded by the seniors.

The college evolved in 2010 with 84 students and increased to 515 in the year 2014-

15 which is 6 times more than the initial strength. 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,

co-curricular activities and preparing its annual blue print.

An induction program and a bridge course are conducted to all the students who have

joined the college. During these programs the student’s current level of knowledge and skills

are assessed. Certain participatory exercises such as group discussions on current issues,

simple quiz contest, etc., are conducted

Students are grouped based on the needs that are required to enable them to

effectively perform academically. To bridge the knowledge and skill gap, foundation lectures

are delivered before commencement of the regular classes. Further, the students’ performance

is accessed through internal test. On the basis of all these factors, students are categorized as

advanced learners and slow learners. Remedial classes are arranged to help the slow learners

to cope up with the rigorous teaching learning process and to make credible academic

progress. Specialized classes are organized for enhancing the competence and performance of

advanced learners.



27

ICT based teaching learning and e-content developments are some of the best

practices for the summative exams to be conducted by the university. Student mentoring and

guidance services are provided for the students at the academic, personal and psycho-social

levels.

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 in gaining

knowledge.

The college has a well equipped library with 3,000 books including text books,

reference books, general books, 10 National and International journals and periodicals on

various subjects. The Library provides various support services such as book bank scheme

with more than 800 books for economically weak and poor students, computer facility with

Wi-Fi connection which assist faculty and students on information on selected topics,

information on new arrivals, display of interesting articles, question papers of previous years

are maintained for students reference and to prepare for the examinations.

Teacher Quality is assured by recharging the faculty members in their own discipline

and on general professional competence through training programmes and Faculty

Development Programmes both inside and outside the college. 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 institution has been practicing both formative and summative process of

assessment and evaluation. In the formative assessment the goal is to monitor the students

learning and provide feedback to the students. Parallel to this, the students’ feedback on

faculty is obtained on the teaching learning methodology. Appropriate changes and

amendment are made in the teaching learning practice by the faculty suiting to their

requirements of the students. The process helps students to identify their strengths and

weaknesses and target areas that need additional efforts. The goal of the summative

assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit and comparing

the same with the standard practice or practices which are bench marked. Some of the

summative assessments includes midterm examination, final projects etc.,

educating the rural students. Jindal Public School was initiated promoting quality education

for rural children, since forty years the school is giving 100% result in SSLC.

Under the aegis of Pragun Jindal Educational Philanthropic Organization, Dr. Sitaram

Our values

The primary objective governing the inception of Jindal First Grade College For

Women is to be widely recognized as a model First Grade College resolutely committed to

education by emphasizing on value based quality education and addressing the needs of

rural society at large especially women. The Institution bases its work culture on the belief

that any course offered should ultimately translate in to a job. For this, Jindal First Grade

College For Women promises itself to channelize its resources in the direction of providing

quality education through Dependable Governance, Unwavering Financing, Adequate

Infrastructure, Assimilation of Discipline and extensive use of Information And

Communication Technology (ICT) in the context of content delivery and student progress

management. Efforts are made to sufficiently involve faculty and students in research,

students, parents and academic experts. It incorporates international level developments

thereby providing responsible citizens to the country. The departments use various curricular

designs and models depending upon the feedback received on syllabi. In this regard the

pedagogical differences are noticeable among various faculty such as the sciences, social

sciences and languages. In fact, all courses focus exclusively on experimental and

experiential learning. Besides, Jindal First Grade College for Women encourages students to

indirectly apart from providing academic inputs. Value Added Courses are introduced for all

the streams in order to ensure that the students are well equipped and geared up to meet the

changing needs of the industry.

Plans are in place to ensure that higher education should reach the door step of rural girls thus

deconstructing the very elite notion of higher education.

CRITERION II:

TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile:

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process?

The admission process of the college is based on the guidelines of Bangalore

University. The institute has a transparent mechanism in its admission process.

The following are the main sources of Publicity adopted by the college:

The name JINDAL has goodwill in the surrounding area. The Jindal Aluminium

Company established in the year 1967 has a good reputation due to its community

oriented services. Jindal Public School established in the year 1971 is also widely

acclaimed for its results and principles. Jindal PU College established in the year 2003

has been giving 100% result which has strengthened the establishment of Degree

College. Hence Jindal First Grade College for Women established in the year 2010

has gained the confidence and goodwill of the public without advertisement. The

College gets maximum admission from Jindal Girls PU College which proves the

statement.

The college issues the prospectus with complete information of the college such as

courses available, facilities, staff details, rules and regulations etc. It enables the

students to understand the college better. Institution has a website in its name

www.jindalcollege.com. The college website is updated on a regular basis which

gives the latest update and detailed information about the college. The students can

easily access the website to know the current events of the college.

College alumnus is also playing a pivotal role in spreading the reputation of the

Institution. As marketing states that “Satisfied customers are the best advertisers” our

students who have already graduated from our college are the brand ambassadors.

Parents and students prefer our college as it is a Women’s College and comparably

college charges less fee. We have an outstanding result which paves way for smooth

admissions. The college stands by the objective of enriching, empowering and

educating the rural women hence it provides fee concession to economically

backward students.




79

Transparency:

The college being an affiliated college follows academic calendar provided by the

Bangalore University in respect of admissions. The selection is through admission

committee which includes a convener and other senior faculty. Application forms are

serially numbered, after sorting out the applications names of the selected candidates are

shortlisted and displayed on the notice board. Meritorial students are given preference.

Thus, transparency is ensured from the stage of notification till the completion of

admission process through adequate documentation of the procedures followed and the action

initiated at various stages. SC and ST students are admitted as per University norms. Hence

main reasons for increase in admission are:

The locality of the college is serene and pollution free located in the midst of greenery.

The institution has a perfect ambience for academic learning.

Our College results are one of the important features which attract parents as well as the

students. The college has been producing consistently very good results compared to the

surrounding colleges.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled students and

ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

Since the inception of the college applications are not received from differently-abled

students for admission. In future any such students get admitted to the college, the college is

ready and has necessary facilities to provide the classes in the ground floor, with ramp rallies,

wash room and other facilities.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills

before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process.

Before the commencement of the programme, the Admission committee orally

assesses the student’s interest in terms of the knowledge and skills by having a short inter-

active discussion with students. Our college does not conduct any entrance test, skill and

knowledge testing process, however with a view to assess the newly admitted students’

knowledge and skills, bridge course is conducted first semester at the beginning of year. This

enables the institution to identify the various needs of the students and initiate appropriate

action such as motivation and correctional initiatives to provide academic support to all the

sections of the students.

Most of the students who get admitted in the college are from Kannada medium who

are instructed to continue their Degree in Kannada medium itself if they are interested, since

the University gives the option of writing the paper in Kannada or English. Thereby

continuity in learning in Kannada is also encouraged. However, immediately after the

commencement of the course, the faculty conducts one-to-one interactive sessions with the

students which are treated as an assessment tool used to identify their needs.



86

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of

the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable

them to cope with the programme of their choice?

Students are grouped based on the needs required to enable them to perform

effectively in academics. The first year students are from Pre University background i.e.

annual exam scheme but Degree courses of Bangalore University offers semester scheme so,

the knowledge gap between Pre University College and Degree is filled through foundation

lectures before commencement of the regular classes .The pattern of the semesters are given

along with the introduction classes subject wise.

The student’s class performance and the internal test are assessed. On the basis of

their performance students are categorized as advanced learners and slow learners. The slow

learners are provided special coaching through remedial classes to academically improvise

them.

Add on/enrichment programs are also conducted. The college started 10 add on

course.

Our college also encourages the students to field survey and collect the relevant data

and publish research papers in reputed journals.

6 Documentary movies are made by the students to know the practical and technical

study of industries; short films are shot on small, medium and large scale industries as part of

research activities.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender,

inclusion, environment etc?

Since it is a women’s college there is no question of gender sensitization with its

students. The institution conducts many programs for women empowerment like Women’s

day, Breast Cancer Awareness Program, Health Awareness Program, Dowry Protest

Program, and Legal Awareness Program. The college encourages each and every student to

involve in one or the other co curricular activity.

The male staff members are sensitized towards gender issues. They pro-actively

participate in at least one of the programs with other members and conduct the program. All



87

the staff members equally support the program in making it a successful one for the better

improvement of the environment in the college.

Our college campus will be made plastic and mobile free zone in the days to come

and the college also has green campus with herbal garden. We have rain water harvesting.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs

of advanced learners?

The institution has the mechanism to identify the advanced learners and effectively

responds to their learning needs through a series of classroom interactive sessions or

discussions and also through the process of continuous internal assessment or assignments by

the subject teacher. The class is made into teams; the advanced learners are made as team

leaders who monitor the team and in turn make the team also as advanced learners by

teaching them their technique of quick learning.

The advanced learners are guided to refer the reference books in the library for

additional information and are encouraged to participate in various competitions conducted

by the college and also by other institutions. They are also guided for research activities and

publish research papers in journals and to pursue higher education in various fields.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the

academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of

drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,

slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if

some sort of support is not provided)?

Academic performances of the students, who are from the disadvantaged

sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.,

are identified. Those students who do not seem to cope with the pace of learning are advised,

counselled, and assisted by giving study material by the faculty. The morale of the slow

learners is boosted by counselling sessions, remedial classes and intensive interactive

sessions. They are also given advice after class hours and are motivated by providing

additional learning material such as text books and solved question papers from previous

semester exams.



88

All the students are exposed to peer group learning where both the slow and advanced

learners are combined. A friendly environment is created to improve the communication

skills of the advanced learners. A number of motivational lectures are organized to channelize

their potential to achieve success.

Apart from this the institution has the following methods of evaluation to assess the

academic performance of its students:

2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (e.g.: providing research

grants, study leave, support for research and academic publications teaching experience

in other national institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagement etc.)

Faculty are encouraged by providing research grants in the form of reimbursement of

registration fees for attending seminars and workshops. The college supports the faculty by

granting them study leaves for those who are pursuing Ph.D and higher studies. The college

also supports the faculty for publishing text books, the faculty are also encouraged to visit

several industries with the students.

2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition at the state,

National and International level for excellence in teaching during the last four years.

Enunciate how the institutional culture and environment contributed to such

performance/achievement of the faculty.

The management of the college has always been encouraging its staffs and has also

appraised their performance by awarding them annually on the occasion of annual day. The

management evaluates their performance both in quantities and qualitative aspect of the work

given to them and they are awarded. This encourages lecturers to intervene with appropriate

actions to improve their performance. The management has shown great interest in

encouraging its staffs which has automatically added to the up gradation of the institution.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external

Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-

learning process?

Yes, our college is verifying the evaluation of the teachers by providing structured

feedback forms to the students at the end of each and every semester, the feedback is taken

for further analysis by the head of the institution and management, and they take remedial

measures for corrections. There is no feedback from external peers.

The Principal takes the personal interviews of the staff members at the end of every

year and each lecturer is given grading by the assessment of the lecturer observed by the head

of the institution.



108

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially

students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

The institution is affiliated to Bangalore University and directly comes under the

evaluation pattern of the university. Qualified lecturers are sent to evaluation so that their

services are also being internally utilized by the staffs who do not go for evaluation. The

college has a well structured calendar of events where the unit test and preparatory exams are

marked with specific dates. The college has an examination committee with Principal and

other head’s of the department as members.

The pattern and the scheme of the evaluation of the paper is discussed and made

explicit to all the members of the department in the meeting.

Students are shown their respective scripts and allowed to verify the answer with

teacher and any correction is done with immediate effect. Students who have any grievance

with university results are helped to redress the problem with revaluation by helping them in

getting the photocopies of the answer scripts and also addressing issues regarding non

announcement of the results.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has

adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?

The university shifted from the annual scheme to semester scheme from 2004

onwards. The internal marks system and grading system was introduced in the subsequent

years. The college has adopted all the reforms of the university as it is an affiliated college,

however there are various steps taken by the institution to ensure that internal marks, grade,

projects and assignments are in alignment with curriculum.

From 2014 onwards The University has shifted to Choice Based Credit System thus

once again changing the evaluation pattern. The college has ensured that the transition is

smooth. In the Choice Based Credit System 30 marks is allotted for internal marks.

These 30 marks is allotted based on their performance in test, attendance, projects,

assignments and other academic related activities. The institution ensures that test and pre



109

final exams are conducted and papers are evaluated and marks are notified to all the students.

This gives an opportunity to students to know where they stand and how to improve their

performance. Teachers plan remedial classes based on the performance in the tests and ensure

that remedial classes benefit the students.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms

of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?

The institution conducts the internal exams, midterm tests and preparatory exams

through which the students’ performance is evaluated. However the college is affiliated to

the Bangalore University and does not have the autonomous status.

The evaluation is transparent. The evaluated answer sheets are shown to the students.

Any doubt about evaluation is made clear to the students. Record is maintained i.e answer

sheets, mark lists etc. Tests are given and record is maintained. Whenever class tests and

term tests are conducted the results of the students’ performance/awards are shown to the

students to encourage them or counsel them for better future performance. The institution

follows the examination system prescribed by the Bangalore University, Bangalore.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adapted to

measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the

system.

University is the sole authority for implementation of reforms in examination and

evaluation, but faculty members who are a part of academic bodies of the university actively

campaign for reforms. Even then for bringing about a positive change in the evaluation

practices, the institution adopts both formative and summative methods of evaluation.

Evaluation includes measuring the student’s achievement through verbal tests, group

discussions, seminars and weekly test.

The evaluation through these approaches gives lot of information about student

achievement after teaching a particular unit. The concerned faculty members get some

direction about the student and necessary steps regarding her improving can be pondered

over. The summative evaluation is done during terminal tests. Even if some students don’t



110

perform well or clear the eligibility condition, an extra chance is given to the student for her

evaluation.

All faculty members follow the formative approach to measure students’

achievements & performance through 1) group discussion 2) class test 3) verbal test 4)

assignments. For summative approach two terminal tests are conducted in the college.

If any student doesn’t clear the condition of these terms tests then one special test is

given to improve her performance for final examination. This is how the institution uses the

formative and summative evaluation approach. Students who are performing academically

well by scoring full marks in the subjects and also students who have 100% attendance are

awarded every year in respective department fest.

There by the students are encouraged to perform academically well; however the

students are encouraged in sports, cultural, NCC, Project and Research activities.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency

in the internal assessment during the last four years and weight ages assigned for the

overall development of students (weight age for behavioural aspects, independent

learning, communication skills etc.

To monitor the students’ performance during an academic year, an examination /

evaluation board is constituted in the college. This board works under the directions of the

Principal. The record of the whole evaluation process is transparent.

The college awards internal marks as per the Bangalore University guidelines. During

the year 2010 the internal marks was allotted for 10 marks later grading system was

introduced in the year 2011-12.Since the University wished to initiate qualitative and

substantial changes in its undergraduate programmes Choice Based Credit System was

introduced from 2014-15. Internal marks are awarded based on tests, assignment and

attendance. Tests and assignments are evaluated and the mistakes are brought to the notice of

the students and measures are taken to rectify by conducting remedial classes for poor

performers.

After preparing the assessment report, it is submitted by the concerned faculty. 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



111

2) Class assignments

3) Score in the term examination etc.

In spite of all the above aspects of the students, their behavioural aspects, independent

learning and communication skill etc. are also taken into consideration during the assessment

of a student.

Choice based Credit System wishes to bring flexibility into system by allowing

multiple exit options with multiple degrees. For each subject 100 marks, in that 30 marks will

be awarded internally (10 marks for attendance, 10 marks for internal test, 10 marks for

assignment. Seminar, projects etc.)

Utmost care is taken in giving the internal marks to the students by considering

attendance, internal test marks, seminars, project works, assignment, behaviour, independent

learning through assignments, reference books, research works etc. The institution also

provides the communication skill development programs and it is monitored by the language

department.

2.5.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university?

How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?

The college not only moulds the students for preparing to their exams but also

ensures that the students will uphold the tradition of the College and follow the same in true

spirit, not indulge in any evil practices, uphold the moral values imbibed during the College

days, always strive to be better citizens of our Country and worthy alumni of our Institution,

always cherish the norms of the Institution in all walks of life, uphold the name of our ALMA

MATER under any circumstances, strive to be sincere and honest with purity of character and

conduct even extracurricular activities.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for Redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation

both at the college and University level?

The college conducts class tests, mid semester tests and preparatory exams. All the

test books are valued and distributed to the students, the students are free to ask their doubts



112

with the concerned teachers and clarify regarding evaluation. In case of any doubts in the

subject the students are allowed to attend the remedial classes and clarify their doubts.

At the university level, exams are conducted semester wise and the grievances are

redressed through revaluation and photo copy of their answer sheets. The college has

extended its support to the students in this regards. Bangalore University has an examination

web site by name www.attristech.com where the students can file their grievances with help

of the college. In turn the college will ensure that proper reply comes from the concerned

authorities and the problems gets solved.

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?

Our college ensures the learning outcomes through conducting tests and exams and

marks are discussed with the students and also discussed in the departmental meetings and

taken remedial classes for the weaker students and also given special counselling by the

committee members.

The college has learning outcomes on what is taught in seminars, paper presentations,

group discussions and projects and made aware by bringing this theory into practice by field

works, surveys, publishing the research of the students in National and International research

Journals

The learning outcome of test and exams conducted by the college is reflected in final

examination results

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

analysis of the student’s 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 institution analyzes the performance through the result announced by the

university. As soon as the university announces the result in the university website the

college downloads the result sheets and goes through the result in depth analysis. The result

in our college is above 75% in every semester. In case of any fall in the result the institution

analysis the mistakes and find out the reason behind it and rectifies in the further semesters.

In April 2014 II semester result was 65.5% because maximum number of students failed in

EVS. The institution resolved to make necessary steps to overcome such fall in results and

concentrate on those subjects.

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last 4 years which have created

a positive in fact on the functioning of college

Innovations:



236

“Creativity is thinking up new things, innovation is doing new things” Quotes Theodore

Levitt. Creativity and innovations go hand in hand with students of JFGCW. The students are

always at an urge to create a history leaving behind a print of success. The following are

some of the innovations at Jindal First Grade College for Women.

1. Documentary Movies and Albums

“Minds are like parachutes, they work best when open” quotes T Dewar. The

Commerce students of JFGC best at their creativity thought of moving towards

impossible. The students had the theoretical knowledge of small scale industries,

cottage industries, their working conditions, problems faced by them, products

manufactured by them etc. An idea was given by the faculty to do a documentary

movie highlighting the process of manufacturing the products, type of raw

materials utilized by them, problems faced by them, employees working

condition, their competitors etc. As a result we have 6 documentary movies. The

details are given below:

Agarbathi industry-2010

Garment industry-2010

Converting raw material(raw areca leaf) to finished plates-2011

Lathe machines-2012

Large Scale Industry-2013

Women Empowerment-2015

2. Research and paper publication in the Journals:

‘Excellence is not a skill, it is an attitude’-The students of Jindal first Grade

college for Women have imbibed this attitude. The students are inculcated with

the habit of research in the campus itself. The final year students are given a topic

upon which the students collect the primary data and prepare the research papers

to be presented to a faculty in charge. This is later published in the journals like

ISJRN, Golden Research Journal etc. We have around 6 published papers by

students

3. Academic Development Committee:

“The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum” as quotes Menander of

Athens, Curriculum is one such aspect which has to be conducted and implemented with

utmost care because curriculum constructs the foundation for students to build up their strong

future. The curriculum framed by Bangalore University is indeed best of its kind but, needs to

be upgraded in accordance with the job market, employment opportunities, desires of

employers etc. With an objective of making curriculum job oriented, Academic Development

Committee is set up in the institution. This Committee consists of Industrial experts from all

corners of the society. Our institution is thankful to Volvo, Canara Bank, Jindal Aluminum

Ltd ,TMI Rollen Engineering Service Ltd, Pepsi co for giving their valuable suggestions to

improve the curriculum. Based on their suggestions, institution took the initiative to begin

Value Added Course for both B.Com & BCA students. For B.Com value added course

included Practical Accounting, Finance, Corporate Administration. For BCA students value

added Course included JAVA & J2EE, Oracle, Software Testing and DOT NET. Their

suggestions were also given equal importance in providing specialization; Department of

Commerce gave Human Resource specialization as an elective for final year students as HR

is growing trend in global job market

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format

a) Page No. 98 which have contributed to the achievement of the intuitional

objective and / or contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities

of the college

Good Practice inculcated by the Jindal first Grade College for Women:

Secularism

Objectives

To bring equality among the student community.

To bring communal harmony among the student so that they become the brand

ambassador for peace.

To bring into picture the importance of various religions and their practices through

celebrating different festivals.

To nurture the student’s strength of unity in diversity.

The context:

Jindal First Grade College for women is situated ad mist of rural area where we have

people of different caste and creed. We are also surrounded by communal riots taking

place nearby villages. Jindal First Grade College for Women gives admission from all

corners of the society. Hence we are having a vast composition of the students coming

from different religious background. The need of the hour was to create an urge of unity

and peace among student community to prove that each and every community has its own

recognition and importance; in turn they become the ambassadors of peace.

The Practice:

The language department of our college sets up the stage for all the programs and festivals

celebrated. All the students take active participation in every festival celebrated. Some of

the festivals are sometimes chaired by eminent personalities. College also takes keen

interest in reporting it to the local newspaper.



239

The Evidence:

Jindal First Grade College for women has till now celebrated all the festivals such as Suggi

Sambrahama (Makara Sankranti), Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam, Christmas & Id. Eminent

personalities are welcomed to shower their knowledge on these festivals which would result in

booming up the hidden respect for different religions in the young hearts of our students.

1. Best Practice : 1 Rupee Charity:

Objectives:

To inculcate the habit of charity in the younger generation.

To show the importance of money and how it can change the life of needy.

To have access of different NGO’s operating in Bangalore city for the needy and poor

people.

To proceed and promote economic contribution motto ‘me one –you one’.

The context

Jindal First Grade College for Women being a women’s college, aiming at providing

education to rural students, engulfed many practices of ethics. Among them ‘one rupee

charity’ makes the pivotal role. The students, being from rural background know the

importance of hard-earned bread. In every walks of their life they see innumerable

problems faced by rural people, they also witness poverty stricken, down-trodden, grass-

root level people. Lending a helping hand to these people would bring positive wealth to

these students.

The Practice:

As we all know ‘Every Big river starts from a trickle’ the amount contributed weekly is

not huge but the impact of contribution is unbeatable. All B.Com, BBM, and BCA

students contribute the fund for this charity every week. The final year B.Com Students

collects one rupee from each class. This practice has bought tremendous change in the

mindset of the students where they offer generously to this fund.



240

The Evidence:

The collected fund is kept in the Principal’s Chamber in a piggy bank. The authority of

maintaining and opening it lies only with in-charge Faculty or Principal. This amount is

utilized in some or the other orphanages, old age homes or NGO’s working for poor and

needy.

Any problems encountered:

‘Charity begins at home’ this principle is followed by our students and their parents. The

generous minds of young heart stimulated us to start this noble practice in our college.

Hence we did not encounter any problem.

Resource Required

Optimistic attitude of the student to contribute.

One faculty to maintain and accounting the fund.

One student representative to collect money.

A piggy bank box

Amount of Re. one from each student every week

Faculty In-charge:

Ms.Lakshmi Priya –Asst.Professor in Department of Commerce

2. Best Practice: Staff Welfare Measures

Objectives:

To recognize human values.

To create a caring and supportive working environment for staff

To foster sense of responsibility towards the management.

To maintain the retention rate.

To create a bond of solidarity and a spirit of satisfaction among the staff members.

To create positive atmosphere contributing to high employee morale.



241

The Context

Atarva Veda Quotes “One, who earns leadership of the masses by working ceaselessly

for people's welfare finally realizes that he has been rewarded with many added

advantages”. Dr. Sitaram Jindal believes in the above fact. Jindal is well known for

catering to the needs of its staff and it also believes in the fact that staff is an asset for the

management. The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient,

healthy, loyal and satisfied staff for the organization. In this context the management

started staff welfare measures such as:

Free transport facility to staff.

Free lunch for staff.

Medi-claim insurance policy for staff and spouse

Group Insurance

Subsidized Medical treatment for staff and students.

Interest free loan

The Practice & Evidence:

Helen Keller quotes “Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of

responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.” As

quoted, Jindal management follows & always practices what it preaches. In other words

the staff welfare measures are generously contributed by the management to the

employees.

Hygienic & nutritious food is made available at noon to all staff members in lunch room.

Bangalore being a traffic prone city, the staff should reach in time so that students are not

deprived of regular and right time classes. The management provides free transport to

staff so that staff coming from far-off places (around 30 KM) reaches college with in

stipulated time safely.

“We can’t predict the future we can ensure it with health insurance plans” is the motto

hence Management has initiated medi-cliam insurance plans for the staff above 40 years.

This health insurance plan is for both staff and spouse. The complete premium is paid by

the management.

http://thinkexist.com/quotation/until_the_great_mass_of_the_people_shall_be/209134.html

http://thinkexist.com/quotation/until_the_great_mass_of_the_people_shall_be/209134.html



242

Jindal Management believes that employees are key business strength and their good

health will reflect on the profitability of business. In other words good health reflects on

the academics of students. To ensure smooth and successful academic performance the

management offers its employees access to timely medical care. The Group Insurance

Policy for employees was initiated. The yearly premium is paid by management.

It’s the fate of Globalization where Pizza’s reaches faster than an ambulance. At this

context management started its own hospital – Manav Charitable Hospital in the year

March 1989. The hospital is approximately 50mts from college. The hospital provides

subsidized treatment to staff and its students by issuing a medical card.

Present financial institutions and banking sectors have raised the interest rate on loan at

exorbitant rates. Providing loan at cheaper interest rate or interest free loan would assist

the staff in their financial crisis and motivate them to be part of organization. In this

regard management provides interest free loan for the staff.

Any Problems Encountered

“A man of courage is also full of faith” Dr. Sitaram Jindal, the person with a positive

motto took the initiative of serving mankind. He has great faith in extending helping hand

to the needy. Evidences prove that, whenever a good work is undertaken there would be

many obstacles; a successful person will overcome these obstacles and fulfil his dream.

Dr. Sitaram Jindal believes in the motto “All lasting Business is to build friendship”.

Hence though there were minute problems encountered, they were resolved effectively.

Faculty In-charge:

Management itself takes in-charge of all the activities. One person is appointed to look-

after the accounts of stock, the details of food served, and timetable for the preparation of

lunch. The Non-teaching Staff of JFGCW look after all the other facilities provided.

2. Mahila Arts and Crafts Institute:



243

Objectives:

As Tony Vincent quotes “Surround yourself with people you can always learn something

from. Always work with people that are better at their craft that you are.” The institute

was started with the following objectives

To encourage the keen interest of crafts in students

To make them self-sustainable, self employable, self- efficient.

To create effective transition from mind to experiment

To maintain and conserve traditional craft and assist the students to promote

handicraft.

The context:

Dr. S. R. Jindal is a successful entrepreneur. Jindal aluminium Ltd was started just

with one compressor unit and today the business has grown up to crores, catering and

competing globally in aluminium extrusions. The Institute started with a vision of

empowering women by providing quality education. Dr. S. R. Jindal aimed that his

students should not be job seekers but job givers and hence this is the genesis of Mahila

Arts and Crafts Institute. This institute is first of its kind in Bangalore city imparting free

training to women in income generating courses such as tailoring, beautician, craft,

embroidery etc.

The Practice:

The institute from the day of its inception has rendered free training to women

students. The institute was just initiated with two courses namely typing & shorthand;

tailoring & craft. Now we have 14 courses such as Typing, shorthand, tailoring, craft,

basic computers, tally with new version, beautician, retail management, etc.

The Evidence:

Mahila Arts and Crafts Institute is purely charitable institute & has its own

building adjacent to JFGCW. The students need not to travel very long distance to acquire

the knowledge of interest. As soon as the degree classes come to an end at 1.00 PM, the

students are free to do the course of their choice. Sometimes the classes have to be



244

adjusted at the time of their examination which is done on student’s request. The MACI

maintains separate attendance registers of enrolled student’s course wise. Approximately

around 40 to 50 students enrol every year and get registered in the course of their interest.

MACI conducts exhibition cum sale of the art and craft materials made by them on

Annual day. The students enrolled for tailoring are also given free machines on annual

day based on their financial situation.

Any problems encountered:

“The true charity is not giving bread or money but providing employment” quotes Iikin

Santak. Dr.S. R. Jindal aims to serve society by giving employment to the needy. Jindal

has been producing successful entrepreneurs. Serving society is serving Almighty. Hence

problems were not encountered besides there is huge support from the staff members of

JFGCW in adjusting the classes, explaining the missed class or it might be by supporting

the students in helping them to sell the art and craft materials prepared by them.

Resource Required

The classes are conducted in a separate building, required resource for each course is

provided by management. Only in some courses such as tailoring & crafts, the students

have to bring the clothes for practice. Some of the resources required are:

Spacious and separate class room for each course

Respective machines such as tailoring machine, typing machine, craft materials etc

Well trained instructors for each course

Required materials for practical

Faculty In-charge:

The staff members of MACI maintain all the records and hence our staff members just

encourage the students to join but they are not in charge of any courses offered.

COMMERCE AND MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT PROFILE

The Department of Commerce was established in the year 2010. Over the 4 years the

department has grown in its student strength from 60 to a tremendous increase of 360 which

is 6 times more and faculty members have increased from 3 to 9. Compared to any other

women’s college in Bangalore the dropout rate of the students is very less.

The Department is the single largest department in terms of student strength and

staff numbers indicating the importance of the course. The faculty members are drawn from

various specialisations thus adding to the rich intellectual repertoire of the department. The

department consists of diverse faculty members. The department works together as one

melting pot with competency and works with unity as a team.

The department conducts the induction programme for the first year students at the

beginning of the first semester so as to make students familiar with the various aspects of

the institution. The students are admitted to the Commerce course according to the

university norms. The Management provides financial aid in the form of fee concession to

poor and the needy students.

The department takes care of Kannada medium students by giving remedial classes in

association with English Department. From the year 2010 to 2013 there were only minor

changes in the syllabus with specific reference to one or two papers. While there was a

major change of syllabus in the year 2014 as the academic curriculum pattern was changed

to Choice Based Credit System with internal marks.



255

The department has conducted various academic development programmes like

Income Tax workshop, ‘Star Matrix’ Business Lab, Commerce Club ‘White Knight’,

Commerce Magazine ‘SRISTI’, Management magazine ‘Arohan’, Short Documentary

Films on small and large scale industries, Industrial Visits, Field research Work for the

counselled by the class teachers and the counselling committee.

The faculty have attended seminars, workshops, presented research papers in National

and International Conferences. The faculty members have also participated in the FDP

programmes held by the college.

Research is an integral part of the department. Miss VidyaShree is pursuing her Ph.D from

Tumkur University. The students are persuaded to take up research and contribute to paper

publications.

Consultancy plays an important role in placing the students in various companies.

The students are placed in various companies and banks by the Placement Cell.

‘Arista’ is a Commerce Fest conducted by the students every year. The talents of the

students are showcased in this fest. Musical Album, an innovative idea by the Final Year

B.com Students was released in the year 2014 titled “WE ARE TOGETHER” symbolizing

students of our PU College. The students’ strength presently is 53. Within short span of

time the Department has released its own department magazine ‘Arohan’ with the support of

students and faculty.

The students are admitted to the Management course according to the University

norms. Most of our students are from rural background, in and around Jindal Nagar and are
