PREFACE
Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideas, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work. --- Swami Vivekananda
With the completion of fifty five fruitful years in the field of education, conforming itself to the changing trends and directives of the National Education Policy, the institution has successfully attained the status of an Autonomous college last year.
It is a great moment for me to submit the Self Study Report (SSR) for the third cycle of NAAC accreditation. Our institution has incorporated the recommendations made by the previous Peer Committee both in word and in action. Our main stakeholders, especially underprivileged, can lead themselves with much confidence towards their goal and destination. In this endeavour the college staff members have been on their toes to perform the task that was assigned. Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) has always been there to guide and motivate in all our efforts. The College Development Council (CDC) has been in support of us. The IQAC has played a greater role in channelizing all the activities of the institution.
The SSR is being prepared with the help of criteria coordinators, staff and students who worked as a team for which I thank them. My special thanks to IQAC and NAAC coordinators for the commitment and enthusiasm they have shown in the preparation of SSR. We tried to be the best of whatever we are. To sum up, I quote Henry Ford;
Coming together is a Beginning Keeping together is Progress Working together is SUCCESS

actively and contribute considerably to the curricula by being members of Board of Studies of different subjects. The feedbacks received from students and faculty is channelized to such boards for consideration during scrutiny of curricula. The institution is also sensitive to such feedbacks which are considered for introduction of new subjects of study and academic programmes. New programmes such as M.Sc. in Zoology, MA in Kannada and Diploma in Phyto-Pharmaceutical and subjects such as Electronics, Criminology and Forensic Science, Journalism and Optional English are introduced during the last five years perceiving the local demand and necessity.
The Institution follows a highly transparent and clearly defined method of student admission which is on the principle of admission to all and ensures adequate access to socially and economically disadvantaged sections of the society. This is reflected in the fact that over 80% of the present students represent SC/ST/OBC sections and about 75% of the total students are women. The quality and professional competency of the teaching faculty is very high which is indicated by a considerable proportion of them with Ph.D. (48%), M.Phil. and NET/SLET degrees and number of them pursuing Ph.D. (33%). Further, they are encouraged to constantly keep themselves abreast with latest developments in the subject areas and also to acquire additional professional inputs by participating in professional development programs such as refresher courses, orientation courses, seminars, workshops and trainings. The teachers have also proved their mettle in the area of research as about 11 of them have been awarded with research grants during the last five years. The process of teaching and learning is properly planned and carefully implemented and a conscious effort is on to make them more student-centric. It involves a good blend of traditional and indispensable lecture method complemented sufficiently with modern gadgets like computers, CD’s, OHP, and LCD which makes the process effective. Ample opportunities are also provided for participatory and experiential learning through seminars, projects, field trips, in-plant trainings, etc. which also help the students to sharpen their life skills.

The progress and performance of the students is evaluated with the help of a continuous and transparent evaluation method which has proper grievance redressal mechanism.
Members of the faculty are encouraged to engage in locally relevant research activities with financial assistance from UGC and to publish their findings in academic journals. A total of two major and nine minor research projects have been sanctioned by UGC with the total financial assistance amounting to Rs. 51.80 Lakhs during the last five years, out of which six have been completed and five are in progress. The teachers have published about 40 research papers in international and 22 in national journals (21 indexed in Web of Science and 25 in Scopus), 17 in conference proceedings (national/international) and 10 books in different subjects. They have participated in several conferences (over 100) and presented about 55 papers/abstracts.

The institution also extends the expertise available with its faculty to the extension activities of local NGO’s, governmental agencies, academic institutions, etc. In fact, science popularization and eco-education forms the major extension activity of the institution. The effective conduct of a national level seminar on “Ethno Botany – Herbal Technology; Challenges and Opportunities”, publication of books, papers and field guides on environmental issues and over 60 popular science articles testifies this fact.

Government Arts and Science College Karwar Page 36
Self Study Report 2016
There is a general decline in the demand for Arts (B.A.) and Business Administration (B.B.A.) courses, mainly due to dwindling job opportunities. To attract more students to BA course, efforts are made to introduce newer subjects with more employment potential like Journalism and Mass Communication, Tourism and Optional English. Demand for Science course (B.Sc.) is fluctuating over the years. After a dip during the beginning years of the decade due to increase in demand for professional courses and colleges, it is regaining its popularity gradually. Efforts are on to introduce new subjects like Criminology & Forensic Science, Electronics, etc to attract students to this course also. Among the PG courses, M.Sc. (Industrial Chemistry) remains to be very popular course in terms of demand. However, the college has no freedom to admit more students than the affiliating University sanctioned intake of 20 / year. Demand for M. A.(Kannada) is gradually increasing and M.Sc.(Zoology) is newly introduced from 2015-16.

Self Study Report 2016
7.3 Best Practices: 7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
The college likes to present the following two best practices which have contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities of the college: 1. Promoting Technology Enabled Learning Activity by creation of a Virtual Class Room Facility 2. Strengthening Research Culture among Faculty and Students
I Title of the Practice: Promoting Technology Enabled Learning Activity by creation of a Virtual Class Room Facility 1. Goal The main goal of this practice is to create a suitable facility to introduce and encourage Technology Enabled Learning culture among students. The underlying principle of this practice is to make the learning process more student centric and independent and also to expose the students to the applications of ICT in learning process. 2. The Context Though, the age old and no-technology involved ‘black board and chalk piece’ method of teaching cannot be replaced completely in colleges offering general education, complementing this conventional method with modern learning tools involving application of technology is the need of the hour. In addition to introducing students to independent learning environments, such practices also contribute towards reducing the technology and computer-phobia inherent in the minds of students of rural background. This is also a productive way of utilizing the free and leisure time available to students for academic gain.
Government Arts and Science College Karwar Page 191
Self Study Report 2016
3. The Practice:
In the larger context, a Virtual Classroom (VCR) can be described as delivery of live or pre-recorded learning resources through a network of computers or similar devices such as smart phones. It is an advanced e- learning environment in which either the teacher is not physically present in the class room or the students are not confined to a classroom. In a real-time or on-line virtual class room, the teacher and students are logged into the virtual learning environment at the same time but at different locations. In the off-line virtual class room, pre-recorded multimedia learning resources can be accessed by the students freely at anytime. An off line VCR was created at Government Arts and Science College with the support of Department of Collegiate Education, Karnataka, in 2014-15. This off line VCR consists of ten (10) desk top computers connected to a server computer through wireless network. Pre recorded video lessons and power point presentations related to about 21 different academic subjects across various programs are stored in the server computer. Students can access and watch any of these lessons or presentations related to subjects of their choice through any of the 10 client computers. An important additional feature of this virtual classroom is that the lessons can also be accessed and watched through personal android smart phones of students within the area of reach of the wireless network within the college campus. Presently, students are given an orientation on the resources available in the VCR and the method of accessing the same by a Staff Coordinator appointed by Principal.
Government Arts and Science College Karwar Page 192
Self Study Report 2016
Further, the students are instructed and encouraged to visit the VCR which is located near the library during their leisure and free hours and watch the video-lessons / presentations of their choice. A support staff is appointed to assist students in the VCR. A log book with details of daily student visitors to the VCR is also maintained.
4. Evidence of success:
The Virtual Classroom facility is becoming popular among the students and gradually the number of user students is increasing. The rural students are showing more interest in using this facility. The average number of users per day as recorded in the log book is 18 (Using desktop system) + 20 (Android mobile)
The major advantages of virtual classroom facility are: Providing complementary learning resources in attractive multimedia formats to students. Motivation to students to know more about ICT learning methods and resources Effective and productive use of free time by students inside the college campus Encourages constructive use of smart phones for learning purposes inside college campus Bridging the digital divide among students. 5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Some of the important problems and constraints related to this activity are: Requirement of comparatively high initial investment in terms computer hardware, software, continuous power supply, a decent and spacious room, etc. Grants available from UGC are used for this purpose.
Government Arts and Science College Karwar Page 193
Self Study Report 2016
Collection of e-resources related to curriculum of different subjects. Relevant and good quality e-resources available freely in the public domain databases may be used without violating the Intellectual Property Rights. Commercial resources may also be procured. Only limited students may use the VCR resources at a given time due to availability of limited client computers. Though accessing through smart phones is possible, many rural students do not possess smart phones. Initial orientation of students and additional responsibility to a Staff member as Coordinator.
II Title of the Practice: Strengthening Research Culture among Faculty and Students 1. Goal : The main goal of this practice is to encourage members of the teaching faculty and students to involve themselves in research activities and development of supportive research facilities. The underlying principle of this practice is that research forms an important and integral activity of any Institution of Higher Education and such research should be locally relevant. This is possible only by making maximum utilization of resources available with various research funding agencies like UGC, DST, etc. Along with Faculty, students should also have to be introduced into research methodologies early in Under Graduate or Post Graduate level so that they can be motivated to pursue a career in scientific research. 2. The Context: Though, some of the senior faculty members of the institution were engaged in research activities, there was a need to extend and strengthen this practice so as to involve more faculties from other departments and also students. Attempts were essential to obtain research funding from other agencies, in addition to UGC.
Government Arts and Science College Karwar Page 194
Self Study Report 2016
3. Practice:
A research committee was formulated with Principal as the chairperson and senior teachers with proven research experience as members. This committee gave the initial impetus and input to junior faculty members regarding potential funding agencies, method of proposal preparation, etc. Students were also given guidance for submission of applications for Summer Research Programs, Student Research Project Promotion Schemes, etc. In addition, encouragement was also provided to:
Faculty and students to participate in National / International seminars/conferences and present papers/posters. Faculty to publish their work in journals of international/national reputation Faculty without Doctoral Degree to register for Part time or Full time Ph. D. studies 4. Evidence of Success: The positive impact of this practice is indicated by the following achievements with regard to number of faculty/student research projects, research publications, participation in seminars/conferences, etc. during the last 5 years:
07 members of Faculty are currently registered for Doctoral Studies in different universities on part-time basis and are pursuing their research work. 01 faculty has registered for full-time Ph.D. and currently on deputation to Goa University on FIP. A total of 12 research projects (02 major & 10 Minor) have been awarded to Faculty members during the last 05 years period by UGC and other funding agencies. The total financial assistance sanctioned is Rs. 51,81,000. Out of them, 06 projects have been completed successfully and others are in progress. More than 60 research papers have been published by faculty in peer reviewed national and international journals of reputation and 17 papers in Proceedings of National Seminars/Conferences.

Self Study Report 2016
Weakness The academic staff also needs to focus on research. The permanent faculty needs to engage in refresher courses.
Opportunities To use Moodle as a mode of teaching – learning - evaluation methodology To design short courses for working professionals To offer choice based credits courses as a future option To have more than one division for the programme. To have more exchange programmes with universities.
Challenges It’s a challenge to sustain the habit of extra reading among the students. With a subject as Business Management, it is important to be up to date with the latest. To constantly upgrade the syllabi for a dynamic subject like Business Management.
Future Plans Introducing post graduate courses like M.Com. or MBA Conduct seminars and work shops Arranging campus selection for final year students Encouraging students for taking projects in small scale industries Introducing skill developing programmes in Management, Marketing, Business communication and Foreign Exchange Conducting invited lectures on various topics like Banking, Insurance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Management for the students.
