SWOC Analysis

STRENGTHS

1. Highly dedicated faculty members, well equipped laboratories and hard working students are the strengths of the department.

2. State-of-the-art infrastructure facilities to keep pace with growing technological and scientific needs.

3. The College is catering to the needs of students from rural areas and economically weaker sections of the society.

4. Healthy teacher-student relationship facilitates smooth teaching-learning.

5. Focus on student-centric learning, participatory and interactive learning through assignments, seminars, projects etc.

WEAKNESSES

1. Students from rural and poor economic background, lacking motivation, focus and quality and with poor communicative skills in both Kannada and English, get admitted to BSc course, as better students head for professional courses.

2. In spite of good academic records, poor knowledge base and weak language skills pose a great challenge since it takes away the precious time meant to transact the present curriculum.

3. More number of guest faculty.

4. Shortage of laboratory technical staff.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. The College has opportunities to establish linkages with institutes of prominence within and outside the country.

2. To conduct Civil service training programs

3. Enthusiastic young teachers with research aptitude can promote research culture among students and an enquiry-based learning approach.

4. Staff and student exchange programmes between institutions need to be explored to achieve greater excellence and innovation.

5. Strengthening of alumni network and linkages with industries will create more possibilities for increasing the percentage of campus placement.

CHALLENGES

1. Due to the diminishing interest of students in science subjects, there is a decline in the inflow of brighter students.

2. Socio-economic conditions become a challenge for the students to complete the course. Further, students are mostly first generation learners getting little motivation from the parents or the society.

3. Commercialization of education challenges the service motto of a Government College.

4. Integrating undergraduate teaching with research at College level is another challenge.

5. Poor educational backgrounds of the parents prevent even the high achievers from moving out for higher levels of learning or employment.

BEST PRACTISE The college has been constantly pursuing ways and means of introducing unique and healthy practices that are in tune with the mission and vision of the college.

1. Title of the Practice: Liberal Policy Objectives of the Practice The College has created conducive learning atmosphere with experienced teaching and non-teaching faculty who are given freedom to carry out academic and administrative activities. The Authority of the college encourages the faculty and staff to undertake various activities like organising seminars, conferences, workshops with accountability. Enunciating Rabindranath Tagore’s principle “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high”, The college ensures and encourages liberal intellectual environment. Enhance Research productivity and encourage participation in seminars, conferences, workshops and symposia at State/National/International level.

The Context Since Government College (Autonomous) Mandya, is a teaching and learning Institute, there is a lot of encouragement to the faculty for conducting quality research and its publication which enhances the quality of teaching and learning. The Practice

The faculty and students participate and present their latest research in seminars, workshops, symposia. The faculty members are obtaining the research grants from UGC and students are encouraged for their project works to the research publication level. The staff and students are encouraged to be associated with various organizations, associations and society related to their area of interest, so that their research output gets maximum exposure at National and International levels. Faculty members deliver special lectures in other Institutes.

The field based research of this college is always combined with community programmes and social development. Students are given open access to books and Inflibnet facility under NLIST.

Evidence of Success As a result of this policy some of the staff members were able to get research projects and some of the students published their project work in reputed International / National Journals.

Problems encountered and resources required The facilities and obtained grants for the research are limited. A research center with research grade equipments is required. Motivation is still required to improve research activities in life science and humanities departments.
