INTRODUCTION
Banavara is a small town situated in Hassan District. This place is connected by NH 206 which connects Bengaluru, the state capital and a port city of Honnavara. And one more National Highway is being under construction which connects Mangalore and Chennai. This place is Gateway to the world famous Hoysala temples of Belur and Halebid and world’s tallest monolith statue of Gomateshwara at Shravanabelagola. In olden days, this place was a small principality ruled by local Nayakas (Chieftains) and still we witness a fort in the heart of the town in good condition which is taking care of by the Archaeology Department.
Today, the main emphasis of the Government of India and State Government is to bring the higher education to the doorsteps of the entire society. To achieve this goal, the Government of Karnataka sanctioned 192 colleges mostly in rural areas in the year 2007. Because of the keen initiative shown by the local MLA and other local leaders, this place was given an opportunity to start a new college eventhough it is just 13kms away from the Taluk Head Quarter. Two more colleges were already running at Kadur and Panchanahalli. In spite of all this constraint (i.e. students may not come forward to join this college), a green flag was shown in the year 2007 to start a college in this place.
The college’s childhood i.e. from its inception to the year 2012(5 years) was spent in a Primary School. We have been allotted three rooms of the Primary School to conduct classes for both B.A and BBM Courses. As the number of rooms was not sufficient, the college entered into a lease agreement with Hanuman Sports Club to accommodate the other classes. It was really a tough time the college was passing through because of the absence of basic infrastructural facilities.
By realizing this, our MLA and the then Principal, Prof. G.P. Raju along with various local leaders fought and got the sanction to construct a new college building at a cost of Rs.2crores. Because of their untiring and selfless effort, the college has got a good building having number of classrooms, library and other facilities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those persons who are responsible to bring and joined their hands in the development of the college.

SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
From the inception of the college, we are aiming at the overall development of the student community keeping in mind the college’s motto “Let Noble thoughts come to us from all sides”. It is our social responsibility not only to make the students literate, but also a civilized community. We are striving to impart quality education within our reach especially to rural, women and under privileged sections of the society. The empowered student community with moral and ethical values will contribute to the nation’s prosperity.
In the beginning, the college was offering B.A and BBM degrees. In the year 2012, the college got permission to open B.Com course. Started with 65 students, today the college’s strength has surpassed 400. The college’s strength, we hope will cross 500 in the coming academic year as it has got good image in the society.
We hope the college will grow like a banyan tree (where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment) in the years to come and will serve the society to the maximum extent possible by providing enlightenment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Criterion I: Curricular Aspects
As the college is affiliated to University of Mysore, it is mandatory on our part to follow the guidelines of the Affiliating University with regard to curriculum design, development and its review. With regard to number and combination of subjects, teaching hours, in-take in each course etc are according to the guidelines issued by the University. As all of our teachers are new entrants to this profession and not the seniors in the University, no one is representing in Board of Studies of the University but we are expressing our suggestions and feedback with regard to all the academic matters of the University. Our teachers are members of the Subject Associations and their advice is taken into consideration whenever there is a change in the syllabus.
Our college offers 3 programmes at the UG level- BA, B.Com and BBM. In order to equip the students with additional skills which they require to enter into job market, we are offering very short term certificate courses in Computer Education and Yoga.
The institution is inviting various resource persons and experts to enlighten the staff and students in their concerned subjects which is a sincere effort by the institution to integrate its goals and objectives into the curriculum. Internet facility is extended to all the staff members and students in the Computer Lab. The Library caters to the specific needs of the departments. There is one LCD projector in the Conference Hall to telecast the Edusat activities of DCE, Bengaluru. During the hours where Edusat activities are not telecasted, we make use of the LCD facilities to enable ICT teaching. Students are advised to conduct seminars, participate in group discussions, quiz competitions, to undertake assignments, projects, to go for industrial visit, to make the curriculum a student-centric one. Remedial classes for slow learners and coaching classes for competitive exams are conducted.
Students are sensitized on pertinent and burning issues like gender equity, human rights, climate change and environmental protection through various clubs and associations in the college. Community service is done through NSS, Youth Red Cross and Rangers Unit.

The institution has a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from the students and stakeholders on the curriculum and it is communicated to the University. The IQAC plays a significant role by offering valuable suggestions in the implementation of the curriculum.
Criterion II: Teaching, Learning and Evaluation
Admissions to various classes/programmes are made according to the guidelines issued by the State Government through DCE, Bengaluru and the University of Mysore. Due publicity of the admission programme is made by displaying notification on college website and college notice boards. The prospective candidates will make use of this to gain admission to the class/course he wants. Online admission was introduced last year, but it was not popular.
Counselling is provided to the needy students at the time of admission with regard to selection of subjects/ course. Special attention is being given to socially and physically challenged students.
The college has made all sincere efforts to change ‘teacher- centric education’ into ‘student-centric education’ by supplementing the traditional learning practices with the use of innovative learning technologies and this is made possible by: Conducting Special Bridge Classes for BBM students who have not studied commerce and management subjects in the previous qualifying course. Conducting remedial classes for slow learners. Involving advanced learners in research and other academic activities. Enriching the learning experience of the students through subject association activities, such as group discussions, guest lecturers, study tours, lecture/essay/poster competitions etc Making the learning process more interactive with greater participation of students Supplementing lectures with various teaching aids like charts slides etc.
The college collects feedback on the performance of the teachers. IQAC will analyze the feedback and suggest remedial measures where ever necessary

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 PRACTICES - 01
1. Title: “Go Green”
2. Goal: To value and preserve the rich and beautiful environment, natural resources and to develop environmental consciousness among students and society. 3. The context:
We believe and highly respect the following motto and verses of Sanskrit (translated into English) Vruksho Rakshati Rakshitaha (If we protect trees, trees will protect us) “O Lord of the Forest, evergreen, glowing, golden hued, spreading a thousand branches…… -Rig Veda “Oh Earth, my mother, Air, my father, Oh Fire my friend, Water my kinsman, Space my brother, here do I bow before you with folded hands/ With your aid I have done good deeds and found clear knowledge and glorious, with all delusion past, I merge in highest godhead” -Bhartruhari.
One of the Fundamental Duties of the Constitution of India is “to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures”
Going green is adopting Green technology in our life. Green technology is a branch of science that has a ‘green’ purpose. By green, we do not mean the colour. Rather, the term refers to a technology that is environmental friendly.
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 150
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
At present, our technology is focused more on convenience than concern for our planet. We must remember that the world has a fixed amount of natural resources, some of which are rapidly decreasing.
Going green is a topic of burning debate in the modern world that the Mother Earth is in desperate need for custodians. Global warming, Greenhouse gases, Ozone layer depletion, Ecosystem, Environmental studies, Earth day etc. are every day terms Now. So if we are to save our Mother Earth, we must focus on inventing ways to conserve our natural environment and resources. In other words, we must promote green technology. To put it very simply, the primary goal of green technology is to meet the needs of human beings without hurting nature in any way.
4. The Practice: Environmental Studies is being taught as a compulsory paper in the first year degree course of our university with the aim of promoting awareness on environmental issues. The college administration also began with the drive to train students to put knowledge acquired in the class room to practical applications and become protectors of Nature. For this purpose, the college is getting the highly valued assistance from the Range Forest Officer and the Staff members, Arsikere. They have planted nearly 100 various new saplings around the college premises. As of Now, they are young and our staff members and students are taking utmost care to protect them. To feed water to the saplings, we have got a water tap from the Gram Panchayat. In this way, we are rendering our ‘squirrel service’ to protect the environment. At the inaguaration of many of our functions, we plant new saplings either inside or outside the college building. Our college is situated in such a place where we are abundantly getting the light and heat of the Sun. We have hundreds of fans and fluorescent bulbs in our college, but we use them to the minimum extent possible. The Government of Karnataka, today, is distributing LED bulbs to all the families of the entire state at subsidized prices in order to save the electricity which is a scarce resource. We have persuaded our students to buy the LED bulbs and fix them in their homes.
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 151
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
With regard to our office, many a times we make double-sided photocopies. If the assignment books of students remain vacant we make use of them for photocopies. We always reuse file folders. We use mugs which save nearly 500 disposable cups per person being thrown away each year. We always turn off electrical lights, computers, electrical devices that aren’t in use. Regarding transportation, none of our staff member uses a two wheeler or cars while coming to college. All are using the buses. Students are also advised to come to college by buses and cycles instead of bikes to save the petroleum which will also help to save our foreign exchange reserves and to reduce the environmental pollution. They are also advised to use bio fuels, unleaded diesel and unleaded petrol. Students are advise to donate clothes or things that they want to get rid of. If they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. Students may also choose to give them to associations who may sell them and collect a little money. Not only it will protect the environment, but it will also contribute to a good cause. Water represents ‘Mother Ganga’. We respect her and take utmost care to use in a judicious manner. This place is a drought prone area and many of our students and their parents engaged in agricultural activities. Films on Israel model of agriculture have been exhibited to show how the Israelites are reaping maximum benefits by using limited amount of water resources. The college is celebrating ‘World Water Day’, ‘Earth Day’, ‘Ozone Layer Protection Day’ etc.. to inculcate the environmental values among the students. Students are told to prepare flex boards, charts, models etc.. to highlight the importance of water, mother planet, ozone layer, wildlife and many other valuable natural resources. Jathas, processions are being organized to spread the message among the society also. During NSS camps of our college, we undertake many activities that aim at Go Green-Go Clean like cleaning the temple complexes, spreading the Gandhian Principles and practice on cleanliness, cleaning the slums, villages by keeping in mind our beloved Prime Minister’s “Swacch Bharath Mission” activities, lecture by agriculture experts to adopt modern technologies etc..
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 152
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
Our students are worshipping eco-friendly Ganesh idols during Ganesha Chaturthi and firing less pollutant crackers during Deepavali festivals as they have been advised in the college on the importance of the environment. Students are also guided to make use of nature rather than harmful chemicals, compost the leftovers and let the nature to do the rest, to reuse are recycle the products and to reduce greenhouse gases. We came to know that the Government of Karnataka through power corporations is planning to fix solar equipments in the schools and college campuses to produce solar electricity. This will fulfil our consumption needs and the excess will be sold to power corporations which will generate revenue to the educational institutions. Briefed students about the impact of recently concluded Paris climate change conference (Nov-2015). Care is taken to keep the campus pollution and plastic free. Students are encouraged to keep their classrooms and common spaces clean.
5. Evidence of Success: The evidence of the success of the practice is the green and clean campus itself. It is evidenced by Planting of saplings around the college campus and they feed us good air, give us beautiful scenery and shadow in the coming years, Fixing of less energy consuming bulbs in the college, Purchase of LED bulbs by students, Reuse of stationery items in the office and college Few vehicles in the college campus, Celebration of various environment related days, Eco-friendly idols and crackers during festivals, Clean college campus
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Our college building is a beautiful one but we have been allotted a compact area which restricts us to engage in many eco-friendly activities. The Place is a drought prone area which is receiving scanty rainfall. Water is a major constraint to feed the little saplings.
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 153
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
Availability of time is one more constraint in the implementation of the practice. The tight schedule of the semester system provides very little spare time. The above cited activities of Go Green-Go Clean are very few.
BEST PRACTICES – 02
1. Title: Celebrating LIFE 2. Goal: To develop a sense of belongingness to the society among students and staff members. To engage the students in meaningful service that meet community needs. 3. Context: The purpose of education is Not just preparing students for a livelihood but also to make them good citizens and above all good human beings. There are two extremes in human life, i.e, Birth and Death. In between these two extremes, we simply lead our life. In USA, a former President’s portrait will be displayed in the Senate after fifty years if is still remembered by the public for his services to the nation and society. We still cherish the memory of Ashoka, the great even after 2003 hundred years for his selfless services towards his subjects. Therefore, we should Not lead passive life instead we should always aim at society to offer something because we have derived everything from the society. Hence, the title Celebrating Life. The college’s motto is “Let Noble thoughts come to us from all sides”. We always ready to accept good things wherever they are from. The college also believe in other Noble ideals like “Sarve Janaa SukhiNo Bhavantu” (Let everyone be happy), “Yogakshemam Vahamyaham” (We take care of health needs/we are responsible for your welfare), “Krunvanto Vishwam Aryam” (Let us make the entire world in to a civilized one) and “Astu Swasthi Prajabhyaha” (Let people be blessed)
Even the Constitution of India directs its citizen to follow some fundamental duties like; To defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so.
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 154
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic, regional and sectional diversities; to reNounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women. To value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture. To protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures. To safeguard public property and to abjure violence.
In order to witness a welfare society/state and to see the above dreams come true, everyone should be responsible towards society. We should Not ask what the benefits we are receiving from the society but we always should aim at what we are rendering to the society.
Students and staff members need to be sensitive towards social and environmental problems which are burning issues today. Motivation towards such issues will definitely have a positive impact on the development of welfare society and thereby the nation.
4. The Practice: a. The extension activities of the college aim to address the community issues by sensitizing the youths and public through awareness programmes such as lectures, film exhibitions, demonstrations etc.. b. Today, the world is reeling under the threats of terrorism and terrorism is the main enemy of mankind. The society is divided on petty issues such as language, religion, region etc.. To overcome fanaticism and to develop a sense of respect towards other sects, religions, a weeklong “Communal Harmony Week” was held in the college where the students took oath to protect communal harmony in the society. This is a concrete step in nation building. c. As we are passing through the ages of insecurity, the adoption of Gandhian Principles in our life will help us to come out of insecurity. Our college’s first NSS camp was held at “Kasturaba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, Arsikere” (This is the only place in India where the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi have been preserved after Rajghat). Many well known followers of Gandhian Principles, eminent freedom fighters of Karnataka, key bureaucrats of the state government have blessed campmates with their gracious presence.

Students are encouraged to prepare posters, flex boards on various social and environmental issues like “Save Girl Child”, “Save Water”, “Save Environment”, “Save Earth Plant” etc. Students also take out processions to create awareness among the society. g. Visit to Self Help Groups run by village women, awareness campaign on “No Smoking” have helped us and even the society. 5. Evidence of Success: Good response and feedback from schools and community. It acts like a link between the community and the college. Because of keen interest shown by the staff members in voter awareness campaigns, many of our students have got enrolled in voters list and aware of the importance of voting. School students come to our college during various awareness activities. School students are seeking admission in our college after being inspired by these activities. This is evidenced by gradual increase in the student strength every year.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strength:
Good will earned by the department over the years Among the five degree colleges in the Taluk, this is the only college offering both B.Com and BBM degrees. Infrastructure in terms of classrooms and furniture is good. We are getting admissions even from the Taluk head quarter. Qualified and dedicated teachers. Promoting students to take active role in every area of study whether in the learning, cultural and sports activities, extension activities etc.. More number of reference and other books in the library on Commerce and Management and HOD is having good number of books in his personal library. Many of our alumni are well settled. Student progression to higher education is very good. Many of our students have completed M.Com and MBA courses.
Weaknesses:
There is only one permanent teacher in the department who has to take care of all the departmental activities in addition to participation in college related matters. All the students are from rural area. Except a few, many of them are lacking communication skills in English language. In case of BBM students, most of the students are from Arts stream and hence it is somewhat difficult for them to learn accounting and other management related subject in a short span of semester course. Less computers in the computer Lab. As there is only one LCD Projector in the college, the department is Not in a position to make use of ICT facilities to the maximum extent.
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, BANAVARA-573112 Page 181
SELF STUDY REPORT 2016
Opportunities:
There is more opportunity to get more admissions in the coming academic year 2015- 16 as the college has got good image in Commerce Education. As a result, we are seeking permission from the University for 150 admissions for B.Com course. We want to start Master Degree Course (M.Com) in the coming years. There are plenty of job opportunities in the market in the area of Banking, Teaching, Share Business, Self -Employment etc.
Challenges:
Business environment is changing continuously. We have to update our faculty and students with the upcoming changes in the financial world. Gap between industrial expectation and University curriculum
Future plans:
To start two sections in B.Com course in the coming academic year. To start M.Com course in the coming years. To conduct more activities which help the students like Seminars, Training Programmes, Placement activities to enhance their skills and employability. To take the students for educational visits, conduct more special lectures. Go in for job oriented projects and guidance. To promote research activities.
