EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With the objective of increasing access and bringing equity, the Government of Karanataka started many new colleges in rural areas. In the absence of this college, most of the students and especially girls wouldn‘t have continued their studies. They would have joined their brothers and sisters who have remained outside the ambit of higher education. Thanks to this initiative of the state government, hundreds of students from the neighborhood of Nanjanagud have joined the stream of higher education.
The college which began in 2007 had innumerable teething problems. The college began operating in the pre-university college building after the PUC classes were over. The history of this eight year old college is the tale of an institution with little basic amenities like staff room, rest room, drinking water etc., growing into one of the most sought after colleges in the vicinity.
Of course, even now the picture is not very rosy, but much better than what it was earlier. Still it has miles to go. When compared to the other older private colleges in this vicinity, this is a poor college in terms of infrastructure, but quite affluent in terms of human resource. The unflinching commitment of the staff, support of the public and that of the local leaders has made all the difference.
Any institution, especially an education institution can‘t work in isolation. It has to work amidst social realities. It has a role in the welfare of the society to which it belongs. Nanjangud is a very interesting place. Socially and
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 7
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
economically backward sections constitute the major part of its population. Rate of entry into higher education is very low. Illiteracy rate is also high. In terms of malnutrition Nanjangud stands second in Mysore district. The number of HIV affected people is also very high in Nanjanagud. All these coupled with social backwardness has stifled the desire for sending their children to higher education. This is truer in the case of girl students. The number of post-pre university youth who aspire to pursue higher education is considerably high in Nanjanagud. Hence there is a genuine justification for a first grade college, which can provide access to higher education at their door steps. Now the challenge of the institution is to reach the unreached and the marginalized and provide the quality education and make them stand up and face the competition at the global level with all self-esteem.
Hence the vision of the college is:
“Achieving Excellence and Empowering the Marginalized”
It is moral obligation of the institution to provide these students with facilities which are available to their counterpart in well-established institutions. It is a stark reality that the best set up will not be available in the beginning itself. Another side of the reality is, you can‘t wait to begin the college till full- fledged infrastructure is available. Such an ideal state is next to impossible. The target to be reached is much larger. The need of the hour is so acute that we have to start and then build the infrastructure gradually. This has yielded results. The process of starting first and building next is steadily progressing. The story of this journey is really satisfying and worth sharing. Now our vision has reached the public along with our work. Now, it is no more a slogan. The college is growing from strength to strength and gradually gaining a firm foothold.
In the beginning......
The principal with four teachers sat at an old table in a small room of the Pre- university college began admitting the students. Only a handful of students braved to join the college. A few more joined this college, because their parents did not want to send them to colleges in far off places. Situation forced them to join this college. There was never a moment when they had to look back in anger because the committed and devoted staff took them along the right path. They taught them with utmost seriousness many a time under the shade of a tree. Slowly the message went round the town. Confidence of the staff (most of them guest faculty) created confidence in the students. Strength

of the college steadily increased. The number of the marginalized among marginalized – the girls – not only increased but they outnumbered the boys.
The table shows the gradual increase in the number of girls.
Inflow of additional teachers strengthened the staff.
The increased strength could not be accommodated in the Pre-university building. Another old, vacant, dilapidated hostel building just opposite the existing building had to be taken on rent. Commerce and Science sections were housed in that building. At this juncture the Government sanctioned three acres land and released the grants. The ground floor of the new building came up just in time when even the old hostel building was also insufficient to house the growing strength. In 2015 the Commerce and Management departments were shifted to the new building.
New courses started. Media started writing about the college. Neighboring industries started helping. The college decided to conduct the examination on its own. Students sat on the floor and wrote the examination. Staff discussed the problems with philanthropists. Mahajana‘s College of Mysore donated 50 desks. Resources slowly started coming from various sources. Thus the process of empowering the marginalized was set in motion.
The pie chart shows the distribution of students castewise

NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Let us start and build gradually. . .
The only goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible and provide all the facilities available to their counterpart in metropolitan centers. The college took many more challenges and embarked on the introduction of many more electives and programmes. It dared to begin Science stream in 2010. There are not many Pre-university colleges, which have science courses in and around Nanjanagud. Most of the studying in those colleges joined either engineering colleges or other science colleges in Myosre. Some of them opted for commerce and management courses. These hurdles did not dishearten the college and the college started the science courses. Only those who couldn‘t afford to go anywhere else, unwilling joined this college. The staff counseled them and in a few cases extended financial help. During the academic year 2014-15 Chemistry was introduced as a new elective. During the first year the teachers conducted labs in Maharani‘s Science College in Mysore. Now the college has set up its own lab, through a small and basic one. Now Jubilant Pharmaceuticals has come forward to build a full-fledged laboratory. Arrangements are being made for the same. Now efforts are being made to build laboratory in our college.
The move towards academic flexibility:
Now the college offers four courses - Humanities, Science, Commerce and Management. In addition to this to teach additional skills many semester level courses are also introduced - Computer Basics, Environment Science, Indian constitution, Angla, Naipunya Nidhi, and also online courses like Spoken Tutorial in collaboration with IIT Mumbai. Spoken tutorial has lot of options the college plans to introduce more courses using that.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 10
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Regarding widening academic choices to the students, the college intends to start more combinations. The college also plans to start postgraduate courses.
Since the students are from rural background, and most of them are first generation learners they are finding it extremely difficult to learn English language competencies. They also have problems in communication skills due to lack of exposure. This has resulted in low self-confidence. Curriculum transaction had to address this problem very seriously. Pass percentage in English was very low. Addressing this common phenomenon found in all the rural colleges became the priority of the department of English. Many alternative methods are tried. Students are involved in participatory methods of teaching. This has resulted in increase in the percentage of passes. This is also the practice in other departments. They use discussion, seminar, quiz, project work etc as methods alternative to ICT.
After exploring the human resource to provide effective teaching now the priority of the college is to introduce ICT based learning. Now the college has one room equipped with LCD projector. Spoken tutorial is another concept of ICT teaching, where lessons are available on the web. The students after registering for the desired course can study of course with the assistance of a teacher. This covers many topics like English, latex, matlab etc., Even incentives are given to score good marks. For example English department is giving cash prize of Rs 500 for every student who has scored more than 70 marks. There are more students getting the award.
To provide a meaningful learning space the college in now building a well- equipped library. Every year more number of books are added. It also subscribes for dailies, magazines, journals etc,. Students from socially disadvantaged sections get more number of books. And now departments like History have established their own library which complements the regular library. In order to develop the habit of reading books many activities introduced. For example, the department of Kannada has started a programme ―Book reading and Reviewing‖ and ―One Book – One Student – Read and Talk‖.
Student support and progression . . . . .
Quality education and academic ambience are not sufficient enough to retain the students, and make them pursue education. Other social compulsions force them to leave education and pull them out of the main stream. Financial support is also required. The college provides free education to the girl
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 11
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
students, because instances of drop out are more due to socio-cultural gender bias.
In addition to it, most of the students are from SC/ST and OBC group they get scholarship and financial support. To encourage academically progressive students, many endowment prizes have been instituted by the teachers. The Government gives CV Raman scholarship to encourage the study of pure science.
All these have reduced the dropout rate considerably, but the target is to bring it down to zero. In order to achieve this college has mentoring, counseling, and other methods of pursuing them to continue their study. There are instances of convincing the family members to allow their children to continue their studies even after their marriage, which is one of the main reasons for the girls discontinuing studies. To address this more seriously the college plans to organize parents‘ forum more systematically. College wants to take the issue of women‘s education as an issue on which public awareness needs to be created. NSS and other forums want to take it very seriously.
The college conceives student placement not just as job placement but also as placing them in higher education, making them good entrepreneurs. To achieve all these three things, college provides them quality teaching, curriculum enrichment, bridge courses, remedial classes and value added courses and trains them for entrance exams for higher education. Career guidance and placement trains and guides them to face the global competitions. The extracurricular and co-curricular activities bring forth the entrepreneur in them and brings forth the leadership qualities in them.
Extension Activities……..
Since college aims at creating community orientation, it has started two NSS units. In addition to the usual and regular programmes, it has organized many special programmes. It is considered a learning space for making the stakeholders society oriented. ―Understand, Be sensitive and have dialogue with the community and support the community around you‖ is the attitude of the NSS. The NSS unit built rooms for its classmates, when they had no rooms; cleaned the tank when people asked for it, cleaned a Gandhian village when a movement was launched to rebuild the Gandhian grama; organized Jathas when it came to know that their town is the second largest AIDS affected area, adopted a village when it was convinced that continuous action was essential.

Sports. . . . .
Rural students are extremely sports loving. They have natural talent in sports. When they are given encouragement and are provided opportunity, they excel. It is also social responsibility of the institution like ours to unearth the hidden talents and strengthen the sports pool of the country at large. The college is doing exactly that. The students of the college is not only participating they are getting prizes and laurels to the college have participated in almost all sports events and even at national level. They have brought laurels to the college and brought the college to lime light. This is also building team spirit in the students.

The college needs to know and also assess where it is on the quality scale, what is its performance level and how its stake holders are performing. College collects feedback from industries, students, alumni, public and also invites experts and get the evaluation done. Added to this it gets feedback from affiliation committee which visits the college every year gives the report.

GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 14
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
provided an opportunity to translate important course material into Kannada. Participation in the outreach activities of Asim Premji University which has involved in the translation of important materials into Kannada has further enhanced this opportunity.
Challenges
Absolute lack of English language competencies and communication skills, resultant low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence.
Accessing ICT and internet is a real challenge because of lack of English language competency.
Shortage of good, quality academic material in Kannada which is a hindrance for achieving academic excellence leading to higher level research especially in Science.
Poverty, illiteracy and superstition leading to drop out of students.
Seasonal labour migration and larger number of women headed families have resulted in seasonal absenteeism in the college.
Large number of industries in and around Nanjangud offer easy but less paid jobs to the youth, who stop studies in the middle or don‘t pursue higher education.
reaching the marginalized and bring them to the mainstream and prepare ing them to face the competition at the global level.
Research and teacher‟s quality......
The teachers of our institution are very talented, committed, and have a strong desire to work. It is the duty of the college to support the staff in strengthening them academically, and provide opportunity to grow and update in their respective areas. This is essential to increase the teacher‘s quality. Teachers are involved in research and other activities at the individual level but the institution has the responsibility of institutionalizing these activities. The college which has just completed its seven years needs to do more in this area.
UGC is one very important supportive organization to carry out serious academic activities like research. In order to get UGC grants, the college should be recognized under sections 12b and 2f sections of UGC. This recognition is granted only when an institution is accredited by the NAAC.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 15
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
The college has submitted its proposal for RUSA, the proposal is accepted. RUSA Grants are released only when college is accredited by NAAC.
Now in its eagerness to achieve academic excellence, provide access and quality education to the marginalized and encourage research activities, college has dared to submit itself to the NAAC accreditation. In the process many things get strengthened staff, infrastructure, and our commitment to perform and lot more. The college thinks that this decision goes a long way in adding to the process of national development.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation
The Government First Grade College, Nanjangud was established in the year 2007 to provide access to the students who did not have access to higher education. It is affiliated to the University of Mysore. The curriculum for all the progrmmes are designed and modified by the University of Mysore. College has limited freedom in terms of curriculum design. It has more freedom as far as curriculum planning and transaction is concerned.

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).
a. Curriculum Development Since the curriculum is developed by the university, the college takes initiative to supplement the curriculum, by value added courses.
The college has conducted an entry survey, and also IQAC has collected feedback from the students. Based on these findings and also keeping in mind the composition of students, department level meetings are organized. Plans are chalked out to support, enrich and expand the curriculum of the students. While envisaging this, the College also keeps in mind the feedback given by the outgoing students in their course evaluation.
Programmes are planned to develop other skills/attributes which are not covered in the syllabus, like spoken English, communication skill, self-confidence and such other areas, which are part of our mission.
While developing the action plan two pronged approach is employed. Firstly it should facilitate the implementation of the vision and mission of the college. Secondly, it should enrich and expand the margins of curriculum designed and prescribed by the university. With this in view, special lectures, workshops, book reviews, bridge courses, student seminars, field survey, project work, industrial visit, and other related activities are planned.
Curriculum Deployment

The students of History study ―The History of Karnataka‖ as one of the papers. The local chiefs of Nanjangud and Kalale play a very significant role in the history of Karnataka. In order to make the students go deep into their local history, the department assigned different topics to the students and asked them to go and visit the historical sites in the vicinity of Nanjangud, like Kalale, Suttur, Basavanpura, etc and collect data and prepare write ups. This familiarized the students with the local history, which they had not observed hitherto. The department of History invited Dr Devaki, Director of Oriental Research Institution to conduct training on the ―Importance and Preservation of Manuscripts.‖ In order to make the students more proficient in the paper on ―Literary Criticism‖ the department of Kannada organized workshop on the subject and selected a particular book.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/programmes?)
Course/programme Year of Introduction Science Programme 2010 Chemistry 2013 Sociology 2015 Banking (Special paper) 2015 Human Rights (Special Paper) 2015 International Organizations 2016 (proposed for VI Sem)
Rationale for the Introduction of new programmes/papers
The college introduced the BSc course for two reasons. Most of the colleges in Nanjanagud do not offer science course, hence there was an urgent need for science courses. Secondly, National development depends on R&D, which in turn depends on the study of pure science. Unless it is introduced at the undergraduate level, development of R&D is impossible. During the first year of its introduction only Physics, Mathematics and computer science were offered. In the consequent years the feedback from the industries expressed the need of introducing Chemistry as one of the electives. In spite of problems in infrastructure Chemistry was introduced as an elective in 2014.
With a view to increase the societal interaction among the students, make them socially more sensitive and also to provide more flexibility to the students of Humanities, Sociology was introduced in 2015.

The college is planning to start other courses like Personality Development and Spoken English in association with the reputed institutes like CLHRD to assist the slow learners on a regular basis, once the college gets 12b and 2f status. Then the college is eligible for UGC grants. This one of the reasons why the college is going for NAAC accreditation.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
The college is situated in semi-urban area, but industrially it is a highly developed area. Nanjangud is in fact the second highest sales tax paying taluk after Bangalore. At the same time, socially it is a very sensitive area. The rate of HIV affected cases is also very high here. Malnutrition is also very high among the children of Nanjagud. In view of all these the social responsibility of the college is much more when compared to other colleges. It becomes the moral responsibility of the college to address these issues. The college has initiated many awareness
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 49
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
programmes related to caste, gender and health issues. Discussions are regularly held on these issues. The college feels that these issues can be addressed only by open and impartial public discussions.
The college has arranged at least two rallies to create awareness about AIDS.
The college has organized series of discussions on caste related issues and the issue of inclusion.
Even the college magazine throws light on these issues and creates a platform for discussion. The college has brought out two special issues of college magazine. One is on Rabindranath Tagore which has focused on „Women and rural education‟ and another on Dr B.R. Ambedkar, which foucsses on the ‗issues of inclusion‟.
Fortunately ―The constitution of India‖ is a compulsory paper, which has helped the institution in sensitizing the students to gender as well as inclusion policy.
The college has a ―Cell against Abuse and Exploitation of Women.‖ The Cell sensitizes both students and staff through formal programmes and informal discussions.
Special lectures/seminars on inclusion and gender are being arranged regularly:
Sl Topic Speaker Date No 1 The thoughts of B.R. Devanoor Shankar 17/04/2010 Ambedkar 2 Gandhi, Ambedkar and D.S. Nagabhushan 27/04/2013 Lohiya 3 The Thoughts of Jyotiba H.C. Kumar 29/10/13 Phule Prof. A.M.Shivaswamy Dr. Shylaja 4 Child Rights N.V. Vasudeva Sharma 28/08/2014

M.H. Annayya, Civil Judge, Nanjangud.
Environment Science is studied as a compulsory paper. It sensitizes them to the environmental issues
Even the platforms like NSS are used as a learning space to sensitize the staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc. The activities of NSS and Scouts and Guides also enlighten them on these issues. The NSS unit plans its activities keeping in mind these issues. Recent campaign in Badanvalu village is classic example of this.
The college uses the birthday celebrations of national leaders to enlighten the students and staff on the views of the great leaders and important maladies haunting our society. ―Chaitanyake Sharanu‖ is a novel programme, which integrates the views of the great thinkers like Gandhi, Ambedkar, The Buddha under the common banner ‗Chaitanyake Sharanu‘ as a day long festival. Highly informed speakers are invited to introduce the teachings of these thinkers in the light of present day need. A healthy debate follows.
Other departments too initiate discussions, organize special lectures on the important issues. Department of Geography arranges special lectures on global warming and related issues. Department of political Science takes lead in discussing issues related to human rights,
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 51
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Reservation Policy, Lokapal Bill, etc,.
The college has also started some clubs to address these issues. The Nature club of the college arranges programmes to discuss the environmental issues. Launching of many more clubs and forums are on the anvil.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners?
As most of the classrooms are multilevel, the cohort of students is not homogenous. The college has a very good library which can cater to the advanced learners. In addition to this, departments like History and English have established their own libraries, which provide access to the materials and books which the advanced learners as well slow learners need. The teachers also lend from their personal collection to such students. The Invited lectures also help them in their advanced learning because they provide a lot of scope for interaction.
The college also recognizes talented students and provides platform for their talents. To cite an example the Department of Kannada took lead in the publication of the anthology of poems of Kumari Surekha, our former student and now our guest faculty. Her poems are well appreciated in literary circles.
A well-known Kannada writer Padmashri awardee Devanoor Mahadev‘s book was released in our college. Students of our college were the resource persons. They presented papers on that book. This is a unique experience.
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)?
Collection of data: 1. The college office collects information about the students as a
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 52
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
part of their regular procedure. That provides the socio- economic background of the students. 2. Teachers maintain an intimate relationship with the students. This has also helped in getting needed information about the students.
3. An entry level survey of the new entrants is conducted. It collects data about the educational, social, economic and cultural background of the students and their parents. The survey also collects the details of the percentage of marks the students have scored at SSLC and PUC level.
4. During induction programme teachers collect information about the subjects, which are difficult for the students and bring down their confidence level.
Understanding data:
The data collected by various sources give the idea of the background of the students and also their needs. Some common inferences are:
1. Most of the students are first generation learners.
2. In the absence of this college they would not have continued their studies.
3. At least some parents are not eager to continue the education of their children. In the case of daughters they are eager to marry them off at the earliest. This is largely responsible for the drop out of girl students.
4. A significant section of students need economic support.
5. Some students need regular counseling and moral support for continuing their studies because of serious family problems. Since family cannot support them academically that responsibility has to be shouldered by the teachers.
6. Most of the students are very poor in English comprehension. Consequently their confidence level and self esteem is also very low. Poor results in English brought down the overall result of the college in the beginning years.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 53
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Action taken by the college To support the students economically many teachers instituted endowment prizes. There are 19 endowments to help the students.
The college has appointed academic advisors entrusting them the responsibility of around fifty students. Each academic advisor has all the essential information about the students allotted to them. They talk to the students and counsel them as and when necessary. This is a new initiative and needs to be strengthened and made more effective.
The college has taken initiative in getting various scholarships to students. The majority of the students, who are disadvantaged in terms of caste and class get scholarship from the government and also from the Zilla Panchayat.
In addition to that, girl students are exempted from the tuition fee as per the policy of the state government.
The college conducts remedial classes periodically for the slow learners.
Library issues more books to the SC/ST students.
The teachers of the college are doing philanthropic work by providing fees and books to the disadvantaged students.
The Department of English has taken initiative in teaching English language using innovative and student friendly methods. It encourage the students by giving cash award of rupees 500 to each student, who has scored more than 70 in English. This initiative has resulted in increase of result in English, which in turn has been responsible for the increase in the overall result of the college.

2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg: providing research grants, study leave, support for research and academic publications teaching experience in other national institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagement etc.)
As the college is not admitted under 12 B, it is not admitted to grants from the UGC. Consequently, FIP, Major and Minor Research Projects or Sabbatical leave cannot be availed of by the faculty. They have provision to pursue research along with their regular work. They can publish in research journal and take up academic publications on their own. They can even register as research guides in universities like Hampi Kannada Vishwavidyalaya, Dravidian University Kuppam and certain other deemed universities and guide the students pursuing doctoral degree.
Once the college is accredited by NAAC the college is eligible for UGC grants and more research options will be available.
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.

Though the college has many teachers qualified and suited for these
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 65
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
awards and accolades many hurdles like UGC grants, lack of research experience are coming in the way. Hence we are earnestly trying to get NAAC accreditation.
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? Evaluation of teachers by the students is done regularly through the IQAC. The feedback is consolidated and the teachers are informed about it.

Teachers are involved in the process of evaluation actively throughout.
At the beginning of the academic year students are given the details of syllabus and distribution of marks.
Model question paper is discussed in the classroom. It is also made available in the library. The question papers of the previous years are bound and kept in the library for reference.
Every department files the question papers and makes them available to the students.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 66
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Department meetings are conducted at the beginning of each semester to discuss different methods of evaluation. Students are also briefed in detail about the spread of marks and the method of awarding the marks. At the end of the term old question papers are discussed.
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 of Mysore follows the semester scheme and follows the evaluation system prescribed by the UGC. Colleges also resort to continuous assessment to assess the students. 20 marks is allotted for this. The college doesn‘t stick to just tests and home assignments. Different departments follow different methods like project/report presentations, field work, seminars, one minute presentations, role play, developing dialogues, practical criticism, translation, viva voce, etc., to assess the students. To encourage regular participation even attendance is seriously considered.
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 periodic tests. It gives assignments or similar such work to the students and assesses them. They conduct the main examination as per the calendar of events prescribed by the university. Exams are conducted very strictly. Assessment marks are made known to the students. The entire system is very transparent
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system.
Formative assessment is used in most of the regular classes. The classes teaching core subjects like History, Economics, Political Science and others, where Kannada is used as the medium of instruction Formative assessment method is used to recognize, where the students are struggling to understand the concept. Then the problem is immediately addressed.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 67
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
The programmes like seminar, project work gives the idea of conceptual clarity of the students and also their capability to comprehend.
Quizzes and viva voce conducted by the Department of Commerce and Management gives the idea of the students‘ competency. Once the subject competency is developed their communication skill also improves. This helps them in developing language skills, which is assessed by the language teachers.
In English language classes Formative method is used both for addressing structural as well as conceptual problems. Just to cite an example, in English language classes, students have problems in constructing interrogative sentences and understanding them. Therefore they are made to play language games like „Face it‟ and developing dialogues and developing question banks on prescribed poems and short stories.
In addition to it the summative assessment methods like unit tests, short term exams, paper presentations and project report presentations are also adopted on the regular basis. The positive impact is especially visible in the rising graph of results and also in student‘s progression both in terms of higher education and employment.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.
In the last four years the process of internal assessment has been reformed significantly. It is completely streamlined. Many bottlenecks have been removed. 1. Now a committee is formed to conduct these evaluation programmes.
2. Test is conducted centrally for three days. It brings seriousness to the entire process. Nothing is ad hoc now.
3. Students are informed about the marks and are given tips for their
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 68
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
improvement. This ensures transparency.
4. Behaviour, communication skill are very subjective attributes. In spite of it they are taken into consideration while assessing the students. This cannot be effectively done in the large classes. This needs to be addressed. This is our serious concern.
5. All departments maintain marks scored by the students in the previous exams. This helps in monitoring the development of students. At times this can also act as additional input to assess the students. This also creates a sense of respect about the assessment process and the seriousness of teachers about the process of assessment in the students.
6. In addition to regular tests and home assignments the college has adopted other methods for internal assessment, which focus on behavioral aspects, independent thinking, communication skills, classroom performance and social interaction. These are informed to the students in the beginning of the semester. This has increased the participation of students in the classroom and the impact is reflected in results too.
7. A weightage of 20% is given to these assessments.

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?
College has clearly stated learning outcomes, which are reflected in the vision and mission of the college. The learning outcomes desired by the college are: 1. To achieve academic excellence that is successfully complete the course they have enrolled for. 2. Competency in the respective subjects which reflected in conceptual clarity, interest in the subject and desire to take up higher studies. 3. Taking the learning to the community- learning a subject itself is not sufficient. The knowledge has to be taken to the community level. Community orientation and social responsibility of the educated should be reflected in his/her action. 4. Social responsiveness is another attribute the college desires in its students. Learning should make the students socially responsive. 5. Learning should make the student employable and bring out the entrepreneur in them. . It is normally discussed in the college. College prospectus also carries these. The students are informed of these during the induction programme and staff members frequently discuss this both during the IQAC and regular staff meetings.
IQAC plans to organize discussion on various committee reports like yashpall committee which discuss these issues.

There is downward trend in admission and also in results in BBM programme throughout the university. In this background the admission and results of our college has shown significant positive trend. Since 2012 there was significant fall in students seeking admission to BBM throughout the state, but in our college the admission has improved. But there is a fall in the entry level academic performance of the students. This has resulted in decrease in results. The majority of students who seek admission to BBM are from the non-mathematical background. This has been the greatest barrier in comprehending the numerical papers. To overcome this challenge bridge courses are being conducted regularly. This has helped them. The impact is visible in the results.

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 73
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
The intended learning outcome is to empower them by making them ―Self-confident, Research Oriented, Employable and Socially responsible citizens.‖ Therefore the following steps are taken. Formative and summative methods are used. Class is made as interactive as possible. Slow learners are identified and remedial teaching is taken up Course enrichment materials are provided in the department as well as at the library. One day workshops with invited resource persons are arranged to make their learning practical. For example the Department of History arranged programmes like preserving the environs of the heritage structure through a field visit to Kalale Lakshmikantha Temple, Srikanteshwara Temple at Nanjangud etc. It had also organized a day long workshop on preserving the palm leaf manuscripts and protecting and preserving the ancient monuments and edicts. The Department of Kannada had organized a daylong seminar in association with ―Kannada Pustaka Pradhikar‖ on how to analyze a work of art under the guidance of a resource person where all presentations were from the students themselves. The chosen literary piece was the ―Edege Bidda Akshara‖ by Padmashree awardee Devanoora Mahadeva. The Department of English in order to encourage communication skills, increase the social responsiveness and the self-confidence of the students, made the students present their field survey report before a panel of three resource persons Dr. Anand Prof of Management, Dr. R. Nalini Prof of Commerce (both from the PG department) and Prof Nalini Chandar, Prof of English. Project work, field work, data collection and seminar presentations are encouraged. This has gone a long way in developing research orientation in the students. It has made them self-confident and socially responsive. So far, the college has nearly 70 student reports on various issues, related to Nanjangud. The IQAC has published these reports. English language classes focus on communication skills and use text as a pretext for it.
2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social and economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude developed among students etc.) of the courses offered?
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 74
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
The Placement Cell conducts classes for entry into service and arranges campus interviews. Stakeholders from the industry are invited to train the students and give feedback, which is used to improve the students. Personnel from the Banking sector, Jubilant Labour Net and Infosys are some of the stakeholders who have trained the students. Communication and Soft skill training are given under the Naipunyanidhi and Sahayog Scheme. Spoken Turorials are conducted in collaboration with IIT Bombay. Management fests are arranged to provide hands on experience of marketing skills to the students. Students are actively involved in the NSS, Scouts and Guides and Sports, which inculcate leadership qualities. Students are involved in fieldwork, data collection and analysis. Because of that research aptitude in them.
2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?
Classroom interaction, information furnished by the academic adviser, unit tests, term end tests and the results of the final exams are used to collect and analyze the data on student performance. Sometimes the result of the final exam may not perfectly indicate the conceptual and structural barrier the students might have, because they learn the answers by rote and write them in the exam. Therefore, interactive sessions in the classroom and sudden tests are also used to understand the barriers, the students have. These findings are used to understand the barriers to learning and to plan strategies to overcome the same.
2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes? Attendance is maintained to ensure regularity among the students. Department meetings are conducted regularly to take stock of the syllabus covered. Academic advisor of each class interacts with the students and gets the feedback. It is brought to the notice of the Principal and IQAC.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 75
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
Regular tests are conducted and the students are given the feedback, for improvement. Slow learners are counseled and remedial classes are conducted. Every year the result is analyzed, shortcomings are discussed and the proper strategy is worked out.
2.6.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If „yes‟ provide details on the process and cite a few examples. All the departments and individuals use assessment and evaluation outcomes as the indicators for evaluating the student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning. In some subjects, this cannot be used as the indicator. For example, in a subject like English the marks scored in the exams might not reflect his communicative skills because the student might have mugged up the answer. In such cases different strategies like interactive sessions, one minute presentations, extempore question framing and translation methods are to be used.

CRITERION III: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION
3.1 Promotion of Research
3.1.1 Does the institution have recognized research center/s of the affiliating University or any other agency/organization?
No, so for no government college is recognized by the University of Mysore. Now the process has started, the university is working out the modalities to recognize research centers.
3.1.2 Does the Institution have a research committee to monitor and address the issues of research? If so, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations made by the committee for implementation and their impact.
The college at present does not have a functional research committee, because the college does not have 2f and 12b status, for which NAAC accreditation is mandatory. Once the college is accredited by NAAC, the steps can be taken to get the status of research center and the even the teachers can get permission to guide. Now some teachers are guiding the students after registering in different universities.
3.1.3 What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate smooth progress and implementation of research schemes/ projects?
Though the college does not have research/schemes from UGC because of the above said reasons. But since some teachers have research experience and some are pursuing research from other universities on their own, the college has taken following measures to maintain and develop their research aptitude. College encourages teachers, who are involved in research.
College has joined other colleges in their effort to get research centres to the government colleges.
College provides conducive ambience in terms of good library, journals, computers, internet and reprography facility and other required information.
It provides an opportunity to interact with good resource persons by
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 77
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
inviting them for special lectures or encouraging the teachers to attend special lectures.
College encourages teachers to engage students in research activities like conducting surveys, field work, etc. Thereby it is trying to nurture research culture in the college.
3.1.4 What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific temper and research culture and aptitude among students?
The college is aware of the problems of the people around Nanjanagudu. The students have made a survey ―Unknown Faces of Known Nanjanagudu‖. This has helped the college to understand the vicinity in which the college is situated. Illiteracy, poverty and such other social evils are haunting the socio-economic life of people. In this backdrop the scientific temper not only means shed off superstitious practices, but also finding a sustainable and healthy life style. This newly established college has innumerable teething problems. It is making an earnest effort to address and overcome them. In spite of it the college is making an earnest effort to face and address the problems haunting the society. 1. Knowing and acknowledging the problems is in itself a very big step in the process of addressing problems. The college organises awareness programmes and jathas.
2. Healthy debate on these issues helps in cleansing many of the prejudices and in creating mutual trust and goodwill. This in turn creates a more tolerant living space. With this in view, discussions on sensitive issues like caste and gender are regularly organised in the college.
3. Joining hands with people, who are engaged in such activities is another major initiative taken by the college. Recently a Gandhian movement towards more sustainable living was launched in Badanavalu village. Gandhi visited Badanavalu in 1932 and established a Khadi and Gramodyog Centre. On the requisition of S. Prasanna internationally acclaimed theatre personality the College NSS planned and organised a camp in Badanavalu Khadi and Gramodyog Centre and joined hands with Prasanna in resurrecting the centre which is in shambles. While working their students conducted a survey. The findings of the survey were shocking. The entire workforce was composed of women of only one community and it was not inclusive. This was brought to the
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 78
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
notice of the concerned authorities and consequently a new inclusive order has been passed.
4. In order to inculcate scientific temperament following steps are taken: The Science Forum keeps organizing special lectures on what is scientific temperament and how the students should develop scientific thinking.
In association with the Forum Against Superstitions and Blind Beliefs organizes programmes exposing the hoax behind blind beliefs.
Science Forum and Nature Club jointly organize programmes exposing the myths related to snakes, as snakes in abundance in these parts.
5. In order to develop research culture and aptitude Some departments like the department of English make the students take up field survey to enhance their spirit of enquiry and research orientation. So far students have prepared nearly 70 such reports. A colloquium is conducted and students present their reports before a panel of experts, who interact with them.
The Department of History has formed a heritage club. The Department makes the students collect data about the places of historical importance and the neglected monuments in the vicinity of Nanjanagudu. With a view to create awareness among people about the conservation of historical sites and inscriptions, the club organizes a jatha to rural areas of historical importance like Kalale, Basavanpura and Suttur. Students interact with people, enlighten and educate them. Special lectures are arranged which are useful to the students as well as the village people.
Department of Kannada assigns each student to select a new novel or a piece of poetry and asks the students to work on that text on their own and present a paper. This creates originality in thinking and critical attitude in the students.

Gandhiji visited Badanavalu in 1932. The NSS volunteers conducted a survey of that Khadi centre during their camp. The findings were a little disturbing. The centre employed only women of one caste, while the marginalized women had no representation there. The marginalized women told that they were not allowed to enter that campus. This unconstitutional and undemocratic practice was brought to the notice of the concerned authorities. Now an order has been sent to the centre to follow the roaster prescribed by the Government.

GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 99
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
These activities have inculcated the values of tolerance, team spirit and hard work in the students. They have helped them to develop the qualities of leadership and the skill of problem solving. They have realized the grass root realities and hardships of rural life. This has made them understand the difference between the theory of economics they study and the reality in practice. The understanding of ground level realities will not only strengthen their understanding of theory, that also will give an insight to view differently the theories they learn. They have understood how historical documents are lost in the rural areas and the need to preserve them. More than this they have learnt that they are the lucky few who could make into higher study, as many of their peers have missed this opportunity. This will put the moral obligation on them to fare better in their studies.

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment
6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is it developed, driven, deployed and reviewed? The goal of the college is to provide quality education to students. The college has definite approach to achieve this. As the students are from marginalized communities, most of them are not exposed to important competencies at the right time, for example, English language competencies and numerical aptitude. Normally these things are to be kept in mind while formulating quality policies. These are formulated in mission statement of the college. College aims at making its students achieve better academic standards and also acquire skills so as to become more employable. All the activities envisaged by the college reflect this policy. The teachers are encouraged to achieve better academic standards and update themselves, so college encourages them to participate in seminars, workshops, trainings, and refresher/orientation courses. It encourages them to go as resource persons and make publications. Annual feedback is taken from the students and alumni. College tries to implement the quality initiatives suggested by them.
6.2.2 Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so, give the aspects considered for inclusion in the plan. College has a perspective plan for the development of the college. The perspective plan of the college includes:

To provide training in sports, cultural activities like music, theatre, photography, animation etc and also create a centre, which works as a platform for students to exhibit their talents and learn the art they are interested in.
Involve the artists, industrialists, farmers, etc in the process of learning so that teaching becomes society centric.
b) Build infrastructure:
Students and the staff are to be provided with the necessary infrastructure hence the college needs to be provided with essential infrastructure which suits our academic plan.

The college should have its own power, water and other resources, hence the college should plan solar power, rainwater harvesting, water recycling etc. The college should have green auditing and plan its eco surroundings, hence should have provision for wormi-culture etc.
c) Getting other facilities: a. In order to get other facilities college needs to get certain basic recognitions. The college should get 2f and 12 b recognition. The college has applied for 2f recognition. Now the college should get 12b status to get UGC grants and other facilities. For which NAAC accreditation is essential. Hence the college is going for NAAC accreditation.
b. Once the college gets reasonably good grade, the college will be eligible for 12b status and UGC grants. This helps to augment infrastructure. Teachers get more research opportunities. They can get minor and major research and other projects which contribute to the development of the college. The college can begin many add-on courses.
c. After this, the college can try for Research centre, which helps the teachers to guide the students. This provides more research opportunities to the students have been deprived of it so far.
d. With NAAC accreditation the college is eligible for grants under RUSA. This will be a great support to build infrastructure and start new programmes and training. e. Once the college gets all the essentials and stands on its own legs, the college would go for autonomous status. This will give necessary freedom to plan its curriculum and courses. They it can develop its own evaluation methods.
d) Training for teachers and students:
Teachers should be trained to upgrade their proficiency in teaching methods, research methods, use of technology etc. They should be involved in training, preparation of teaching materials on a regular basis. They should be trained in innovative methods of teaching.
Students should be given training in different skills so that they can face the competition in the global level

NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
e) Strengthening the monitoring system.
The programmes are to be implemented effectively. To check the efficacy of the programme it should be regularly evaluated, monitored by both internal and external agencies.
6.2.3 Describe the internal organizational structure and decision making processes. Department of Collegiate Education is the apex decision making body for all the Government colleges. The department delegates both financial and administrative powers to the principals. All the financial power rests with the principal. The principal delegates the academic powers to the teaching faculty, administrative powers to the office, sports to the physical education director and library to the librarian, which in turn is further decentralized. Decisions are taken only after holding meetings and discussing with the concerned people. Library and Sports departments have advisory committees with the Principal as its chairperson and the librarian/Physical Education Director, heads of the departments and the office superintendent as members.

NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
different committees, departments and administrative section. Hence all the activities are integrated in that one committee. In addition to that activity of one committee is known to another because of IQAC. Because of this interconnectivity the activity of one committee can be taken forward by the other committee and give new dimension to it. One example is, Department of Collegiate Education wanted every college to start a Gandhi Study Center in every college. The well- known theatre personality Mr Prasanna and a great philanthropist S.G. Jayadev were invited to inaugurate the center. NSS taking clue from this arranged a camp in Badanvalu where a movement was launched for sustainable development. IQAC gave another dimension by initiating a survey on the social background of the employees of the organization for cottage industry started by Mahatma Gandhi. Survey revealed a startling fact that all the employees belonged to one community and the others were not included. This was brought to the notice of the authority. Now corrective measures are being taken.

7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 172
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
1. Inclusiveness: Nanjangud is a potpourri of different castes and religions. Creating a sense of inclusiveness in a college which has students from different cross sections of society is a real challenge before a college. The college evolved a new programme called ‗Chaitanyake Sharanu‘ which means “Salute to the Great Souls/Spirit.‖ It was decided to celebrate in the month of April. April is in fact suggests the onset of spring season. The Buddha, Mahaveera, Basavanna and Dr B.R. Ambedkar were born in this month. They have set a great tradition of inclusiveness and being humane. This great tradition has been continued by Ambedkar and Gandhi in the modern times. The college wanted its staff and students to be a part of this great tradition of inclusiveness. The college placed a proposal before all the stakeholders that these birthdays should not be celebrated mechanically, but they should be celebrated as a continuation of a great concept of inclusiveness. This celebration should involve discussion of their contribution and also reinterpretation so as to suit the present day needs. All the stakeholders were convinced. Dr B.R Ambedkar being the greatest humanist, who upheld the concept of fraternity, his birthday was chosen for this innovative practice. Every year three speakers, very well versed in the concept of inclusiveness propagated by the Buddha, Basava and Baba Saheb Ambedkar are invited. Each one makes his/her presentation for half an hour and then discussion follows. Now it has become a forum where students come up with all their suppressed doubts, prejudices and misconceptions about caste, religion, gender, reservations and to seek clarifications. This has gone a very long in creating a congenial atmosphere with communal harmony and gender sensitivity.
2. Involving students in infrastructure development: In order to accommodate growing strength, the college needed more rooms. The need was so acute that it could not wait for the government to take up the construction work. The NSS unit of the college immediately responded by involving the students and public in the construction of rooms. The students built four rooms. And they also built a stage for public function.
Positive impact of the initiative: It provided the rooms necessary for the curriculum transaction. It created a sense of belonging in the students and the staff of the college. It changed the attitude of the public towards the college. Media gave a wide converge for this event. Consequently it created pressure on the authorities and they understood the immediacy of the need. This hastened the construction work in the campus.
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 173
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
3. Encouraging publication by the students: The Department of Kannada organizes many discussions and interaction with the well known literary figures. They also organize discussion about the books. During the course of these literary activities the talent present in the students come to the foreground. In the process creative writers and poets are born. Two such talents could be spotted – One is Annapurna N.S. and another is V.Surekha. Annapurna‘s anthology of poerty ―Ajjigondu Prasne‖ and Surekha‘s anthology ―Mouna Nivedane‖ were released in the college. Then Kumari Annapurna‘s poem was chosen as one of the best poems by the Rajya Sahitya Academy and this year her story was awarded the ―Best Story‖ award in the Deepavali Story contest organized by the famous state daily ―Prajavani.‖ Thus this activity is bringing the talents of the students to the limelight.
4. Community orientation of NSS:
The NSS unit of the college is doing the routine work like any other NSS unit of any other college. The uniqueness of the NSS unit of our college is the social commitment and responsiveness which is reflected in their community orientation. Action is important but the intention behind the action is much more important. The NSS unit responded to the need of their brothers and sisters in the college. They set aside all other work and built four rooms and a stage with their blood and sweat. When the temple authorities of Kalale village requested the NSS unit to clean and restore the ―Kalyani‖ in spite of the risks involved the unit went ahead with the work because it was an important historical monument. When Mr Prasanna and Jayadev invited the NSS unit to join the movement for ―Sustainable Development‖ the unit shouldered the risk of conducting a special camp in the village which was vertically divided on caste lines and a great animosity prevailed. They not only did the regular cleaning and restoring work in the Khadi and Gramodyog Centre but conducted a survey too. The findings of the survey showed that the policy of inclusiveness was not followed in the centre and women from the marginalized castes were not given opportunity. This was brought to the notice of the authorities. Now the government has initiated the corrective measures.
7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

BEST PRACTICE - I
Title CHAITANYAKE SHARANU (Salute to the great souls/spirits) The Context Nanjangudu is an extremely sensitive are with a long history of caste clashes, many a time ending murders and burning. Even Election Commission has declared Nanjangud as a sensitive are. The cohort of students is from different cross sections of society. Creating a sense of inclusiveness among the students was a real challenge before the college. The college thought that the ideal method was to recollect the thoughts of great souls, who had dedicated their lives establish peace, harmony and goodwill among different sections of the society and build a nation which encourages pluralism and mutual respect. Hence the college evolved a new programme called ‗Chaitanyake Sharanu‘ which means “Salute to the great souls/spirit.‖ It was decided to celebrate it in the month of April which suggests the onset of spring season and new growth. The Buddha, Mahaveera, Basavanna, Mahatma Phule and Dr B.R. Ambedkar were born in this month. They have set a great tradition of inclusiveness, egalitarianism and humanitarian values. This great tradition has been continued by Ambedkar and Gandhi in the modern times. This innovative practice decided to remember their thoughts with a view to create ignited minds which will be free from prejudices. The Objectives
It is a step towards improving the healthy public discourse.
To engage in a healthy argument teaches us to avoid foolish opinions and listen respectfully to the claims made by others and respect difference of opinions.
It opens up opportunities for collaboration and innovation. The best ideas in human history have emerged when people have worked together.
Prepares the youth to create a more harmonious and democratic India
The Practice
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 175
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
The event is celebrated in the month of April. In April were born some of the greatest souls, who strove to build an egalitarian society in India. The Buddha, Mahaveera, Basavanna, Mahatma Phule and Dr B.R. Ambedkar were born in April. They brought new and humane thoughts to this country which had been torn into pieces. AS the showers of April cools the fuming earth, their inclusive, humane, egalitarian thoughts pacified this wounded society. The college wanted its staff and students to be a part of this great tradition. The college wanted to celebrate their birthdays as the birth of a great concept of inclusiveness and mutual respect. This celebration wanted to discuss their contribution and reinterpret them to suit the present day needs. The birthday of Dr B.R Ambedkar, the greatest humanist our times, and the one who upheld the concept of fraternity, was chosen for this innovative practice. Every year three speakers who are highly proficient in matters of inclusiveness and also are practitioners of the same are invited. Each one makes his/her presentation for half an hour and then discussion follows. Now it has become a forum where students come up with all their suppressed doubts, prejudices and misconceptions about caste, religion, gender, reservations and get clarifications. This has gone a very long in creating great communal harmony and gender sensitivity. Students can exchange ideas, try out opinions and receive feedback on their ideas without fear or intimidation. The idea is also to take this as a process of collective thinking and carry forth this in other forums.
Obstacles Faced And Strategies Adopted To Overcome Them.
Most of the prejudices are deep rooted and hence it prevents one from looking the issue from a different angle. Therefore it is very difficult challenge. It is true not only of students but also of teachers, and sometimes with the speakers too. In this situation to have a meaningful and friendly discussion was a little difficult sometimes. But tactful handling of the situation, sincerity in effort has yielded the results. Discussion has begun.
In addition to it, students always have a fear to express their thoughts and opinions openly. To make them come out openly needs a great deal of counselling and assurance.
Many stakeholders feared that such open discussion may disturb the otherwise cordial environment of the college, but in practice contrary is proved right. When people can stand for a cause overcoming all
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 176
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
parochial and limited identities the atmosphere will be conducive and mutual confidence increases. Impact Of The Practice
Impact of the practice is visible. Now there is no visible opposition for the programme. It has created an ambience where any thought can be openly expressed and discussed. The division in the society, and conflict as a result of this in society has not affected the college. This living together has helped them to work together in many activities of the college. This has inculcated a secular, tolerant, and attitude of mutual respect into their attitude. Its impact can be seen in another sensitive area i.e, gender. Usually any discussion related to gender faces a similar resistance or those discussions are jeered at. Now the situation in the college has changed. Serious discussions related to is possible and both boys and girls have started opening up and expression their doubts, fears and apprehensions. This has made the work of Anti- Harassment cells easy. It has made them redundant.
BEST PRACTICE - II
Title LEARN IN THE FIELD (Field survey report by students)
The Context Report writing is a part of the English language paper that the students of IV B.Com study. The usual method is to explain the format of a report and discuss a few model reports and give them a few topics to prepare reports, usually from the question paper. It is a very dull, drab and mechanical process, which neither the student nor the teacher enjoys. Then the Department of English wanted to make it a very meaningful process, which would create research orientation in the students, make them socially more responsive and improve their language, analytical and critical abilities. Then there was the stinging question as how to go about it. The Department thought that the best way to achieve these was to send them to field, make them prepare questionnaire, interact with people, collect data,
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 177
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
analyze them and write a report based on their own experience. After three years even the students of IV semester B.A. were also made to take up field survey and present reports.
The Objectives 1. Inculcate research orientation in the students.
2. For a closer understanding of the society they live.
3. To equip the college with a better understanding of the aspirations of the people, it has to cater to.
4. Build confidence in the students
5. To inculcate pro-societal attitude in the students.
6. Taking the college closer to the society and make education more meaningful by bringing life into it.
The Practice
At the beginning of the semester, students in consultation with the teachers select the topic for the survey. They will work in group of four or five. They visit the place or people or the industry, which/whom they have chosen to explore. They do the preliminary ground work and then prepare questionnaire. They interview the persons concerned. Sometimes they also collect secondary data from books, internet and other studies. They consolidate and analyze the information collected and then prepare the report. They compare their experience with similar situations elsewhere. They interact with the teachers frequently and brief them about the progress. Teachers give them suggestion and guide them. The final report is prepared only after this. During the entire process of study many skills s like art of interviewing, framing questions, comprehension of thoughts, consolidating the information, logic of analyzing the information and finally the method of report writing is taught to the students. To make the whole process more serious it is also made a part of the internal evaluation. Once the report is ready, the next step is the presentation of the report and justification of the findings of the report. Experts are invited from various colleges and university. Students present
GFGC Nanjanagudu-571301 Page 178
NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
their report before them, while students from different groups and staff will be present among the audience. They face the questions and they clarify the doubts. Finally experts give their opinion and suggestions. This will be published as a separate collection or some time it will be published in the college magazine. Even local papers have published some of the reports. Reports will be given to the concerned organisations as feedback.
Obstacles Faced And Strategies Adopted To Overcome Them.
1. The first response was that of fear and hesitation and lack of confidence. Girl students were very apprehensive about going out and interviewing people. Counselling and assurance solved the problem to certain extent. The girl students were given the area and topics where they felt comfortable.
2. Some companies did not allow the students to observe the way they work. This happened when a group of students took the issue of pollution with reference to an industry for study. Then the Principal spoke to the Management and gave a letter seeking permission and made process official. Sometimes familiar acquaintances were used to get the permission.
3. The problem of writing report in English was yet another problem which troubled all the students. They were encouraged to write the report in broken English. Then the teachers helped them to correct the sentences, without killing their confidence. They were not confident to present the report before a large audience, but then they were convinced. Impact Of The Practice
Impact is experienced in many ways. It created confidence in the students to meet and talk to anyone with whatever little English they knew. The interest in academic activity increased. The sense of satisfaction of having achieved something after the presentation of the report was an experience to observe. The contact of the industry with the college also developed. It

NAAC- Self Study Report (I cycle)
has helped in augmenting the infrastructure in many ways. This has also created goodwill about the college among the public. The college could gather a lot of information about the unknown faces of Nanjanagud. It is perhaps the first of its kind that surveys like these are conducted in such varied areas.
Resources required Interest and commitment are the raw material required for the study. Students have mobile to take photographs and even recording is also done in the mobiles. Since the project is known to many in the University and other colleges, they are willing to come as experts. The only expenditure is preparation of the copies of the reports.
