Yours faithfully, Dr. Aloke Kumar Sarkar TEACHER-IN-CHARGE BIJOY KRISHNA GIRLS’ COLLEGE, HOWRAH , W.B NAAC RE-ACCREDITATION SELF STUDY REPORT 2015 PREFACE Bijoy Krishna Girls‘ College was accredited by NAAC in 2005 and now with great pleasure we submit our RAR, recording our progress since then. We are proud to present the achievements of our students and staff members in the last 10 years, which are reported in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the NAAC Manual on Re-Accreditation. Bijoy Krishna Girls‘ College, formerly known as Girls‘ College, Howrah, although formally established on August 1,1947 and thus starts its voyage with the journey of independent India, but the process of its establishment had started much earlier. Late Bijoy Krishna Bhattacharya, an educationist and a visionary. who himself was a freedom fighter too, along with a few of his friends, struggled hard to open the gate of higher education to the daughters of Howrah and its adjacent districts. The first women‘s college of Howrah is till date the only women‘s college of the district. The college was assessed by NAAC in 2005 and obtained Accreditation B ++. Bijoy Krishna Girls‘ College is one of the institutions belonging to CPE status earned in 2010. A large fraction of the students of this college are either first generation learners or coming from middle class families. Hence helping them to overcome their frustration and canalizing their energy to academics and extra curricular activities to gain confidence and to develop personality, is a challenge for the teachers.In a country steeped in poverty and ignorance where girl infanticide, dowry death and social and economic exploitation of women hardly raise any eyebrow, a girls‘ college in the three hundred year old conservative city of Howrah has a vital role to play. As such our commitments towards this battered womanhood are priority wise:- A] To enlighten and impart proper education to our students so that they can fight out their own cases in hour of need. B] To generate social, economic and political awareness among the students in order to enable them to take up leading role in overall socio-economic development of the country at large. C] To promote the cause of girl students, emerging from socially and economically backward strata of the society and assist them in establishing their individual entity. To fulfill our commitments and nurture these causes, we have strived throughout the years. We are happy with good success we have achieved, but still a long and thorny path and tedious journey awaits us. Again we strongly believe that the college is solely and singularly for students and the management including teaching and non-teaching staff is simply instrumental in smooth functioning of the college. We are confident enough that we will be true to our commitments and reach our cherished goal i.e. upholding the prestige and dignity of womanhood at large.
