NAAC Accreditation Report
A. Executive Summary:
The Government First Grade Women’s College finds its pride of place in the history of Karnataka by being one of the women’s institutions to provide higher education. Like the humble beginnings of a great tree in a tiny seed, the origin of the college is traced back to 1996, starting out as a modestly named Government First Grade Women’s College. But the aim, now as then has remained the same. The institution aims to transform the understanding of every student who passes through its portals, towards a progressive and social society while at the same time being tempered by social concern, empathy and visionary leadership. The greatest testimonial to the justification of an institution is the contribution of its students to society. Government First Grade Women’s College is quietly proud to have contributed to society’s growth and consciousness through its set of vibrant and dynamic students. From a degree college, with Arts course the institution has grown to include commerce and Administration course. A student stepping into the college has now a wide range of options to explore – 05 combinations of Arts ranging from the basic Arts, Commerce and Management to focused areas like History, Economics, Political-Science, Sociology, Psychology, Home-Science & Computer Science, but in campus, it is not uncommon to encounter at least Two Kannada & English languages as subject of study. To a modern day denizen of Bailhongal, Government First Grade Women’s College can be described as being “at the out skirts of the City, next to Government P.U College”. The college boasts of equally intriguing neighbours -25 years old K.R.C.E.S’s School.

The College has a very strong social capital, networking with several illustrious old students who guide the college in their own way. The last four years have fetched (4+6+5+3) 18 lakhs from the government and other agencies, through this social network. The money has been put to good use in developing infrastructure like labs, classrooms, along with Canteen. Thirteen teachers labour amongst the youth to inculcate the values of Arts, Commerce & Administration zeal along with socially inclusive concerns. The teachers, who describe themselves as lifelong learners, prefer the method of experience to the method of the book. The campus is a confluence of teachers with variety of skills and experiences in diverse fields, offering students abundant academic wealth. For the sake of numbers this translates to 2 Ph.Ds and 5 M.Phils. Being aware of the constant necessity of updating their knowledge, many of the staff attend seminars, symposia and workshops at the national and international levels. They are often also the resource people at many such events. A thrust area of the college is research. Besides acquiring and imparting knowledge, the teachers and students are also aiming to create knowledge through process. Backing the knowledge of the teachers is the library. Over 9,000 books are at the beck and call of the young scholars. A few numbers of eBooks and exhaustive information through the internet are made available at the library. The advanced knowledge being provided here is ably backed by cutting edge facilities – Power Point Presentations, projectors and computers. Especially necessary for learning Arts, Commerce & Management the labs are equipped with the latest tools. Higher education these days is the privilege of the moneyed. But the college begs to differ here, being a home of hope to learners from the lower strata of society across rural social layers.

The college pays special care in removing the victimhood of socio- cultural and economic divides that these students come with. Beyond bookish knowledge, care is taken to ensure the emotional wellbeing of these students, providing them with much needed confidence and self- esteem along with the requisites of communication skills. Under HOSA- HEJJE Programme Launched by State Government, the college aims to redress social inequalities by offering under privileged students special welfare schemes. Unconditional care and providing learning with human touch are two pillars which support the students here. A student in the campus has endless possibilities of journeying through human experience. Recognizing that the real need of every human being is self actualization, the college offers the scope for self expression through its various committees and the political forum. The consequence of such outlets of expression is the humanizing of Arts, Commerce & Management – a different approach to make the studies in Arts, Commerce and Administration relevant, and meaningful. The NSS contribute to the physical and social development of the individual – team, leadership and social engineering. The student who passes out from this college is a composed and well rounded individual who is capable of negotiating and contributing to society’s progress. The hierarchy of the college is uniquely designed to close the feedback loop from the management and teachers to the students and back again. To keep motivational levels high, the management has adopted unique practices like the creation of potential maps, participatory discussions and focus group discussions. The experience of learning is expanded beyond the regular concerns of academics. Perhaps one of the few colleges that encourage people to share their failures as well as successes, the institution uses these experiences as sign posts on the journey to the goal.
