CRITERION I CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 CURRICULUM PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION 1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and describe how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders. Established in 1980, Sacred Heart College is the result of the vision of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation. One of the major goals in establishing the college was women empowerment through education. The institution was founded on the principles of integrity, discipline, value based education and holistic development of its students. Rising from its humble beginning, today it stands tall in the hearts of many. Sacred Heart as an institution nurtures noble thinking, academic excellence, moral fibre and character in its students. Our vision enshrines the enduring beauty of wisdom through education with thrust on pursuit of truth and the search for righteous living. Our mission is to enrich young minds intellectually and spiritually instilling a spirit of brotherhood in them, moulding them with academic excellence, ethical principles, social sensitivity and spiritual sublimity to help them shine as light in darkness. Our college provides training to individuals to face the challenges of life. We also strive to develop students’ creativity and provide unique opportunities to them for personal enrichment. Apart from academic excellence, we give due importance to community service and other philanthropic activities.

The Coat of Arms of our College symbolically suggests the intellectual and moral tasks the college assigns itself and its mission to enrich and enlighten all those who enter its portals. The crest depicts the hands of Jesus Christ and St. Francis of Assisi clasped in loving embrace which symbolises the zealous efforts of the Franciscan Clarist sisters in the field of education. The lamp symbolises not only physical fire but also the cosmic fire or divine light of knowledge which dispels the darkness of ignorance. The motto of the college which is inscribed on the crest represents the values we stand for.

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 syllabus becomes complete only when the curriculum supplements it. To ensure the effective delivery of syllabus, curriculum needs to be designed and implemented carefully. The affiliating university every year provides guidelines on curriculum formation through the Academic Calendar. Based on this the college brings out a calendar which is incorporated in the college handbook. The principal, staff council and the IQAC together formulate the calendar and handbook. The handbook provides information on the number of working days, holidays, programmes offered, (with details on core, elective, complementary and open courses with their credits), career oriented courses, certificate and diploma courses, clubs and forums, fee structure, scholarships, library facilities, various associations and other amenities available to both staff and students. The handbook is distributed to all the staff and students. The departments chalk out the plans to implement the curriculum in their respective courses. The curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities of the departments are also formulated at the beginning of the academic year. Taking into account the objectives enlisted in the syllabi, each department has clubs and forums so that students who have special inclination to a particular area of study can be members of that club and thus promote and heighten their capacities. Eminent resource persons are invited to address the students of each department so that they get further exposure on their field of study. The IQAC and the staff council monitor the process and incorporate changes in the schedule if required. Each faculty member maintains a diary with year plan schedule as well as monthly record of activities. The faculty diary is reviewed at the end of every month by the HOD and Principal. The curriculum plan is evaluated to consolidate the progress. The syllabus and curriculum of the Add – on courses is prepared by the staff of the college. Care is taken to ensure that the syllabus is socially oriented. The Principal in consultation with the HODs assigns charges to faculty members over specific areas such as internal examinations, NSS, College Union, Fine Arts, College Magazine etc. for the academic year. The faculty members along with their team, prepare an action plan in the beginning of the academic year which is submitted to the principal. Care is taken to cater to the individual requirements of students. Three programmes are implemented by the college with the support of the Department of Collegiate Education, 4

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as industry, research bodies and the university in effective operationalisation of the curriculum? Curriculum can be effectively imparted only when students are exposed to knowledge through experience, training and interaction. Similarly the faculty should also go beyond text book to navigate beyond the written curriculum to the possibilities of the unwritten curriculum. With this end in mind the various departments of the college have both formal and informal linkages and collaborations with other institutes of higher learning, industry, libraries and research organisations. These linkages are applied for the fruitful completion of curriculum and other activities like seminars, conferences and various programmes are organized in collaboration with such agencies. Some of the linkages are mentioned below. Library Linkages: Library facilities available in institutions outside the college are utilised by students and faculty for project and research work. The following libraries are utilised by them.

Faculty members of our college also participated in those workshops. But in 2013 when CUCBCSS (Calicut University Credit Based Credit Semester System) was introduced, such workshops were not organised by the university.

8

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy experience and insights and also through feedbacks from students and alumnae. Sometimes the alumnae who do higher studies in other institutions give suggestions on improving curriculum based on their experience in those institutions. Many of the departments offer various career oriented courses, short term diploma courses, advanced diploma courses, certificate courses and value added courses. For such courses, the teachers of the concerned departments formulate a course plan, aims and objectives, duration of the course, the syllabus, the number of theory and practical sessions and evaluation methods. The college presently has two UGC sponsored add on courses for which the curriculum is developed by the concerned departments. The English Department offers a UGC Sponsored add-on certificate course in Communicative English and the Zoology department offers a UGC Sponsored add-on certificate course in Quail Farming. These courses were developed based on a process consisting of need assessment, design, development and planning. Needs Assessment – It was based on the relevance and job opportunity, taking into account the opinion of present and former students and campus recruiting consultants. Design – The curricula were designed by the respective departments in consultation with the experts and resource persons in the relevant field. Development – The curricula were sent to the University for approval. Planning – This includes the time schedule of the course, the duration of the course, methodology of the course, fees, faculty, examination etc. The curriculum of the value education courses is also developed by the college. A committee in charge of value education classes identifies the content, reference materials, class hours required, evaluation methods etc. of the value education courses. The curriculum of the certificate courses in computer applications is designed by the Department of Computer Science. The curriculum of ‘Amma.com’, a computer literacy programme for housewives of the locality was developed by the Commerce Department. Similarly the curriculum for ‘English for Employability’ course which is an English literacy programme for Kudumbasree (Self Help group for women) workers was developed by the Department of English. The college also has a plan to apply for academic autonomy in the near future so that the departments get greater say in the designing of the curriculum.

1.1.8 How does institution analyse / ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation? High priority is assigned to effective teaching-learning experience which is a combination of a number of curricular and co-curricular activities. The master timetable is prepared at the beginning of the academic year in consultation with the departments. The departmental timetable is prepared in accordance with the master timetable and the number of contact hours assigned to each course by the university. Each department plan the various ways in which they can effectively disseminate the curriculum for the benefit of students.

The faculty integrates the most advanced technological tools to ensure the effective delivery of the curriculum. The students are informed of the module plan and the tentative dates of the two internal examinations at the beginning of the semester. The Head of the Department reviews the progress of the module plan at the end of every month. The progress of the implementation of the action plan is monitored by the IQAC and the principal. To assess the effectiveness of the curriculum, faculty members themselves interact informally with students to have feedbacks to evaluate the level of understanding of the students and to see how far the students are able to follow the classes. If any change required, that is made in consultation with the head of the department. Regular meetings and interaction with parents are done to help in identifying and rectifying the difficulties that the students face. The parents are briefed in every semester about the performance of the students in the internal examinations through academic performance record. This helps to make the parents vigilant of the performance of the student. It also encourages the students to perform better. To evaluate the performance level of students each faculty makes use of a combination of conventional and innovative methods like oral questions, test paper, assignments, seminars, open book tests, quizzes, group discussions, debates, brain storming sessions, slide presentations etc. These methods of continuous evaluation help in assessing the performance of the students.

The NSS unit of the college is vested with the responsibility of ensuring the active participation of all students in social activities. The two units of NSS take care to see that all students, disregard of their membership in NSS, takes part in endeavours of the college intended at discharging the social responsibility.

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stake holder perception on the overall performance and quality of the institution? There are feedback mechanisms from students, parents, alumnae, local community and other stake holders to ensure whether the expectations of the society and stakeholders are met with. These feedbacks are both formal and informal. For feedback from students, appropriate questionnaires are prepared and feedback is collected on the overall performance of the college. The PTWA, a representative body of the major stake holders of the institution (parents, teachers and well-wishers) monitors the overall functioning of the institution and contributes to the infrastructure development in the college. The college presents the annual report of activities carried out by PTWA at the general body meeting held annually. PTWA meetings and class-wise ‘Meet the Parents’ programmes are regularly conducted and suggestions of parents are seriously considered for further improvement. Such sessions helps to build a strong bondage and rapport between the parents and the faculty. This has helped in two fold ways. One, it gives confidence to the parents to approach the faculty and two, gives encouragement to student community to openly interact with the faculty. Feedback is also collected from the alumni during the annual meet. During the interactive sessions in such gatherings, the alumni quiet often makes a comparative analysis of the college and the institutions where they are presently studying. This gives a lot of insight into the areas where improvement is required. Another occasion for quality check is when resource persons and faculty from other colleges visit the college on various events. Quiet often they make suggestions on quality improvement, both infrastructural and academic. All such feedbacks are reviewed by the staff council and governing body and the required actions are taken timely. 106

BEST PRACTICE I FEEL NATURE, FORESEE FUTURE Globalisation and the resultant use and throw culture has changed our planet to a garbage ground which pollutes our environment threatening the very existence of life on earth. The remedy to this menace needs a shift in the attitude of people. The culture 204

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy of ‘reuse, recycle and reduce and refuse’ alone can transform the individual. This culture must be instilled in the minds of people especially young students who would become the future citizens. With this aim Sacred Heart College has initiated ‘Feel Nature, Foresee Future’ initiative. Goal  Help students acquire knowledge of pollution and environment degradation  Train students to live with a sense of universal responsibility and to establish human solidarity and kinship with all life.  Train students to manage the use of renewable resources such as water, forest products, soil and marine life in ways that do not cause harm to eco system  Adopt lifestyles that ensure restraint and efficiency in the use of non-renewable energy resources.  Promote the use of alternate energy resources  Impart lessons of waste management and disposal The Context The prime cause of environmental degradation is the misuse of natural resources and careless disposal of waste material. Agenda 21 stresses the role of education in promoting eco-consciousness, “education is critical for promoting sustainable development and improving the capacity of the people to address environment and development issues”. In order to mould an eco-conscious society, the College has incorporated environmental education in its action plan through guest lectures, seminars, practical lessons on waste disposal, use of alternate energy resources, tips on reducing energy consumption etc. Through these programmes we train our students to be the caretakers of mother earth. The Practice  Awareness raising campaigns- lectures, seminar- to shape the way the young generation think about environment.  SEE- 2014 Expo (Save Energy and Environment Expo) was a mega event organised by the college to reach out to the society to spread awareness about ecology, pollution and environmental degradation, energy saving solutions through seminars, exhibitions, street play and cycle rally.  The ‘Feel Nature, Foresee Future’ initiative has a theme song written by students

205

 Seminars conducted on World Environment Day, Hiroshima day, World Earth Day, Ozone Day, World Energy Day etc.  ENCON (Energy and Nature Conservation) club to promote energy saving practices among students  Distributed Mullatha saplings to public  Energy audit orientation to help students and parents to help parents to save energy and water.  ‘Cycle to Work’ day was organised to promote the use of cycle  Natural foods and natural products campaign to promote the use of eco-friendly lifestyle  Tree saplings planted on NH-47 median.  The college is gradually reducing its dependence on conventional energy resources and is shifting to alternate energy resources like solar energy and biogas  Students are given eco-friendly carry bags to reduce the use of plastic carry bags  Vegetable cultivation on campus was initiated  Students are given training on waste management by educating them on the collection, segregation and disposal of waste materials. The college hostel has a biogas plant. Evidence of Success  The green and serene campus which is the abode of a variety of flora and fauna is a testimony of our success.  The ENCON club of the college has won the best club award from the club sponsoring agency, The Kochi Refineries.

 A paradigm shift in the attitude of the students towards environment can be seen in the special care that they give to reduce wastage of electricity by switching off fans and lights after use and in the segregation and disposal waste materials.  The college has undergone its first ever green audit

Problems Encountered  The college intends to shift to 100% renewable energy for electricity. This requires huge expenditure which cannot be met by the college alone.

206

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy

 Students find it difficult to disseminate the energy saving and nature protection ideas outside the campus. Notes  An eco-conscious young generation is essential for the better future of society as they will play an important role in changing the future of the nation.  Organic farming can be initiated as a step to save environment and to avoid lifestyle diseases. BEST PRACTICE II HEART TO HEART Goal . To serve the less privileged and the marginalised . To instil in young minds the qualities of compassion, love, tolerance and empathy for fellow human beings .

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning  Students are encouraged to participate in debates and group discussions to equip them with skills needed in a career hunt  Training in application of mathematical tools in analysing concepts of economics are given  To link text to practice and to ensure effective citizenship and inculcate critical, social and political outlook among the students, the Department of Economics has made it mandatory for all students above the age of 18 to attend the Grama Sabha in their Panchayat.  Week students are given additional training through the Scholar Support Programme sponsored by the Government of Kerala.  Advanced learners are given proper guidance and mentoring through the Walk With a Scholar Programme sponsored by the Government of Kerala.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities:  The Department actively participates in the Heart to Heart programme of the college. The students of the department every year visit either an old age home 255

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy

or house for the destitute or a rehabilitation centre for sick and disabled people or children’s home to spend a day with them. Students and staff also make contributions on such occasions.  As part of dispensing the social responsibility of the Department, the students give training to home makers on preparation of family budget, various avenues of savings etc.  Under the sustainable development initiative, the department coordinates the activities of the ENCON Club (Energy and Nature Conservation Club) of the college which is sponsored by BPCL Kochi Refinery. The club has won the best club award once and best runner up award twice.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Challenges) The Department of Economics has a motto ‘Choose Rationally’ which reminds the students always the value of making rational decisions while faced with a situation of scarcity. The ‘Sustainable Development initiative’ of the department appeals the students to ‘Conserve, for Resources are Scarce’. The Economics Association has been publishing a manuscript magazine ‘Student Economist’ for the past 17 years to boost the creativity of the students. The Department has an online newsletter ‘The Invisible Hand’ which helps to update the alumni and the public of the developments.

Strengths

 Qualified and experienced regular faculty  Talented and devoted students  Complementary course in Mathematical Tools in Economic Analysis  Cordial relationship of faculty with students and their parents  The syllabus offers scope for project work for the UG and PG students  Supportive alumni

Weaknesses

 Wide gap in the capability and income level of the students  Poor communication skills of students in English  PG Course is self-financing  Shortage of funds for departmental activities

256

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy

Opportunities

 The Government of Kerala is reluctant to start new aided courses and hence all the newly started courses in the state are in the self-financing stream for which fee is high and the faculty are in experienced . The BA Programme offered by the department enjoys the unique advantage of low fee and experienced faculty. This is a strength.  the low fee and experienced regular faculty of the department may help to attract good students  The booming Indian economic environment is likely to increase the career opportunities available to Economics graduates.

Challenges

 Low preference of student community for Economics programmes  The weak mathematical skills of the students make effective teaching and learning of quantitative dimensions of economics difficult

Future Plans 1. The PG course of the department is self-financing. The department would like to make it an aided programme. If this is not possible due to Government policy, the department would like to replace the present MA Economics programme by MA Business Economics programme. For this consent of the University is needed. 2. To strengthen the UG programme, the department would like to make one class room a virtual class room with the assistance of alumni 3. To start a money museum 4. In 2018 the Department completes 25 years since starting the BA Economics programme. To mark the silver jubilee year, the Department would like to organise an international conference on a topic of contemporary relevance in 2018

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning:  Remedial Teaching is a scheme intended to provide academic support to academically backward students by identifying their areas of handicaps.  Peer Tutoring is a strategy in which second year and final year students tutor first year students to facilitate the act of learning through the three-way processes of explanation, collaboration and participation.  Cooperative Learning is a practice wherein leaders from among the group of students pioneer to simplify and revise the difficult bits of information to below average students.  Teaching using projectors and other audio-visual aids facilitates the process of teaching-learning emphasizing the learner-centric aspect.  Language lab facility is made use of to improve the communication skills of students  The Student Research Forum is a system to showcase the research and creative projects of undergraduate and postgraduate students aided by technological means.  Spoken English classes are rendered by professional trainers to the students for an hour outside their regular hours of study to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. 277

Sacred Heart College, Chalakudy

 UGC aided Add-on course on “Communication Skills” is initiated to give practice to the first year degree students to reinforce their communicative aspects by giving more importance to situation based conversations.  Artistic and innovative exhibitions that combine graphic and written presentations of litterateurs are organised to acquaint the students with more student-oriented learning methods.  Teacher-student discussion forums are conducted to enhance and satiate the literary quest of students and teachers.  Literary quiz competitions are often conducted to increase students’ knowledge of English Literature.  Oratorical Club of the department is actively functioning to bring out the best of the public speaking and anchoring skills of the students.  Every year a play is staged for the whole college by the Histrionics Club of the department.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities • Free English Tuition for the students of Govt. HSS, V. R. Puram by the second year and final year students seeks to put into understandable words, concepts that seem too difficult for the students to understand. • Periodical visits to safe havens like Karuna Bhavan -a home for the old and the deprived -are made by the students under the Heart to Heart programme. • The Human Value Club of the department organises various programmes for the less privileged. As part of the Heart to Heart programme, the club organised several programmes for the elderly. The programmes were aimed at nurturing love and compassion for the elderly. • English for Employability: An Undertaking with a Social Edge, is a social extensional activity spearheaded by the Department to teach basics of English language to the Kudumbasree women hailing from Municipality, Chalakudy.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength: Crystal growth research lab for doing PG and UG projects. Minor projects are conducted by faculties for improving their research aptitude. Special individual care in uplifting the academic and practical skills among students. Weakness: High student to teacher ratio in UG program. Lack of advanced laboratory equipments. Due to the busy schedule of the teaching-learning-evaluation process, lack of time for research. Opportunities The faculty members in the department are well qualified and can extend their academic and research experiences for imparting a research trigger in students. The faculty members can do collaborative research with various institutions in the country. Challenges Time limitation for research due to over loaded syllabus Early marriage system among students Poor educational background of parents Delay in semester exams Most of the academically bright students opt professional courses.

FUTURE PLANS: Conduction of National seminars Start IIT-JAM, UGC NET, GATE Coaching Organization of extension activities and awareness programme for public. Regularisation of MSc. Physics course Get approval for Research Guideship and more funded projects

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES

The Second Cycle of Accreditation of the college was carried out in the year 2011-12. The peer-team visited the college on 25-26, March 2011. The peer team made twelve recommendations for the quality enhancement of the college. The desire for excellence guides our initiatives aimed at quality maintenance and sustenance. The college has tried to adhere to the recommendations of the peer team. The recommendations made by the peer team and the actions taken on them are given below:

The college should carry out academic and administrative audit with external members at least once in three years.

The college carries out administrative audit every year. Internal audit of the college is done by the auditor of the manager and external audit is done by a chartered accountant. Though the institution does not have a formal mechanism to perform academic audit, the IQAC of the college constantly monitors and assesses the performance of the academic units of the college through continuous assessment and feedbacks from various stakeholders. The IQAC gives suggestions to the management and evolves strategies to achieve remarkable academic standards in the competitive educational environment. The IQAC encourages use of ICT in teaching and learning. SWOC analysis is also conducted by the IQAC.

New courses with application and modern day outlook should be initiated both at UG and PG levels.

The college has started several UG and PG courses in the Post Accreditation phase taking into consideration the demands of the emerging knowledge economy. The new courses include B.Sc. Mathematics, B.Com Finance, M.Com, M.A. Economics, M.Sc. Chemistry and M.Sc Mathematics.

IQAC may broaden the scope of its activities beyond the routine affairs of the college.

The IQAC sets the benchmarks for quality enhancement. Apart from quality enhancement and sustenance strategies, IQAC also formulates several extension activities. The best practices of the college- Heart to Heart and Feel Nature, Foresee Future – are the initiatives of IQAC.

A

If permitted by financial resources, a separate PG and research wing could be constructed

The college has only one aided PG course. The government policy does not permit a research centre in a college without adequate number of aided PG courses.

Teachers must be motivated to apply for major and minor research projects.

The college has taken all efforts to motivate its faculty members to take up major and minor research projects. As a result, many minor research projects were initiated in the post accreditation phase.

Even if the university curriculum does not specifically require projects, students should be involves in research activities through small projects.

The university curriculum has made it mandatory for all UG and PG students to take up a project/dissertation in the final semester. The students are encouraged to take up socially, industrially and academically relevant topics for their project work. Many students get opportunity to do their projects in reputed institutions in and outside Kerala.

Teachers, especially those in younger age group, must be asked to obtain Ph.D Degrees.

The institution encourages its faculty members to obtain Ph.D degrees. They are given leave to do their research. Three of our faculty members did their Ph.D availing FIP.

An NCC wing may be initiated

The college approached the authorities with the intention of beginning an NCC wing in our campus. But new NCC wings were not allowed due to financial constraints.

Some teachers (eg. A teacher in Physics) has published in good impact factor journals, and such teachers should be provided necessary laboratories to continue their research.

The college is keen to provide necessary infrastructural facilities like laboratory to its faculty members. The laboratories are modernised and updated with high

B

quality equipments and machines. A specialised Material Science-research lab was created for research purpose in the Physics Department.

Infrastructure including more canteen space, an indoor stadium, transportation for students may be provided.

The college has submitted application to the UGC and Kerala State Sports Council seeking financial assistance to construct a new indoor stadium. Facilities in the college has been increased. Separate space for staff and students is given. The canteen has been refurbished to make it more spacious and convenient for the users. ICT enabled classroom in every department is another addition in the post accreditation phase. Internet facility is made available in every department. Interactive boards and ICT devices like LCD projectors are used by staff and students to create unparalleled academic experience.

Career Guidance and Placement Cell activity needs to be further enhanced

In the post accreditation phase the Career Guidance and Placement Cell has initiated several steps aimed at enhancing the employability of students. Several courses like, add-on course on Quail farming, Communication Skills; Diploma in Banking and Finance in collaboration with Indian Institute Banking and Finance, Pune; Campus to Corporate- an employability skill enhancement programme in association with NIET etc. were started. Special orientation sessions by experts from industry were organised.

Number of titles in the library needs to be increased due to new courses and syllabi

The college constantly adds new books to library to meet the requirement of the new courses. The college has access to INFLIBNET/N-LIST resources which compensates any shortage in resources.
