The Sanskrit expression ‘Om’ is the central motif of the college logo. ‘Omkara’ is all pervasive as Brahma. ‘Omkara’ is called ‘pranav’, which includes the sounds /a/, /u/ and /m/. The chanting of ‘Omkara’ helps in bringing body and mind together and improving concentration, which is very crucial for students and teachers in their quest for knowledge. When ‘Om’ is pronounced the entire body vibrates, it is shaken and awakened. ‘Omkara’ is the emergence of sound which signifies the sound coming from the navel. “Commitment for Excellence” is the watchword of the college; it sums up all our efforts; it is a consummation of the vision, mission and objectives of the institution.

Santanu Das., Head, Training & Placement Member, Bangalore University : Prof. P Vishnu Kamath Seshadripuram First Grade College, Yelahanka PREFACE Seshadripuram First Grade College (SFGC), Yelahanka, Bengaluru, was established in 1992 by Seshadripuram Educational Trust (SET), Bengaluru, the pioneering educational management. Founded in 1930, SET, in course of its phenomenal and sustained growth across many years, has burgeoned as the foremost educational organization in Karnataka. Through its institutions, SET caters to the widest possible realms of academia. SET has campuses spread across the length and breadth of Bengaluru city and its environs. One of the most enduring educational trusts, SET has grown as “a global conglomerate of premier educational institutions” and a symbol of emergent, modern, free India. SET’s history goes back to when a group of ladies opened a primary school at Seshadripuram, Bengaluru. Now, SET caters to a total student population of over 20,000, engaging more than 900 employees and providing education ranging from pre-school to postgraduation and research. SET and the institutions under its aegis are driven by the conviction that “every individual from each stratum of society deserves affordable, relevant and quality education to fulfill personal aspirations”. The Trust constantly strives to meet this social obligation by “inclusion and expansion of newer streams in its institutions” and provision of world-class infrastructure. The ultimate goal of the Trust is to “emerge as a global conglomerate of premier academic institutions, each taking pride in having nurtured knowledge that will lead to happiness, peace, harmony and prosperity” (Mission statement of SET). SFGC, established to fulfill the SET’s mission, has recorded steady growth. In the first academic year of the college (1992-93) the student strength was 5 and there was only one course on offer. The student strength has swelled to 2879 (academic year 2009- 10) and there are now 06 courses and 20 departments. SFGC is the largest degree college of SET and one of the top five colleges affiliated to Bangalore University. It has added an imposing new building to its infrastructure, in addition to extensive gardens, playgrounds and other facilities to realize the institution’s “commitment for excellence”. _______________________________________________________________________ Preface Seshadripuram First Grade College, Yelahanka SET’s decision to apply for the NAAC assessment and accreditation of its flagship institution, SFGC, confirms the Trust’s progressive outlook. This self-study report (SSR) takes stock of the institution’s strengths and the areas which need further strengthening. The report is being submitted to NAAC for the assessment and accreditation of the college. I owe a debt of gratitude to all those who helped me to bring out this report: Sri N.R. Pandith Aradhya, President, Dr. Wooday P Krishna, Hon. General Secretary, other office bearers and trustees of SET for their enlightened decision to get this institution assessed and accredited by NAAC. I place on record my indebtedness to Dr. M.Prakash, principal of this college, for his invaluable guidance and support all along. I gratefully acknowledge the valuable suggestions and guidance of Dr. K. Aswathappa and Prof. K. Banadarangaiah and the resourceful support of Dr.Shobha and Prof. Salma Begum. I am extremely grateful to Prof. P. V Mathew, Prof. Anwar Ali Baig and Dr. G. Sudarsana Reddy: they have been spending all their time with me for several months. With inexhaustible patience, they drafted the report. They undertook the tedious tasks of correcting and proofreading. But for their support, it would have been impossible for me to bring out this report. Dr. Reddy was extremely generous with his time and expertise. I am grateful to Dr. D.K. Murthy, Director, MBA department, heads of all other departments, members of faculties and the Steering Committee and Criterion Committees for their unstinting cooperation; Smt Kamala Devi, Office Superintendent, administrative and accounts staff and all those who stood by me in this team effort.
