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.

External funding agencies are UGC ( JRF/SRF ,financial support vide Major Res. Project and UGC CPE fund), CSIR ( JRF/ SRF).
Research by faculties of Humanities and Commerce: Many of faculties have received UGC Minor Res. Project and financial support from UGC CPE grant. Faculty research has gained momentum due to imposition and criteria of CAS. These lead to good research output.
In the field of Consultancy the College has unfolded its wing to tale up the challenge and generated some corpus fund. The policy is under review for its further expansion.
Extension: We have revived our NSS wing but NCC unit yet to be functional. IQAC is a constant source of inspiration to sustain extension activity. Over fifteen (15) program on extension activities were undertaken during last five (5) years
Limitations: Discontinuous funding creates trouble in research and extension activity. As a general college market is limited to unfold consultancy service.

The faculty members ( Full time) of the institution are selected by West Bengal College
Service Commission as per Government rules. Whenever any post falls vacant or sanction for any new post is received through Govt. employed procedure , the college sends the requisition to the WBCSC. The commission thereafter recommends the name of the NET/SLET qualified candidates as per UGC norms to the college from the merit panel prepared by them after interview by the Commission as and when arranged . The final appointment is however given by the college Governing Body.
But the college does not have sufficient full time teachers as the above mentioned procedure is a long term one. So in case of vacancy created due to retirement, resignation or ultimately demise of any teacher, usually the college used to recruit part-time teachers through proper advertisements in well circulated news dailies and then by interviews. But nowadays as the part- timers are being paid from the Government a separate procedure for their recruitment is going to be introduced by the same. So the teacher crunch is combated by recruiting adequate no. of college paid guest lecturer ( paid on class basis) on merit basis. Contractual full timers are also recruited by college Governing Body through proper decorum in some subjects.
HR Management in this institution is mostly implemented through framing of different working committees and sub-committees. Members of such committees are chosen in accordance to personal abilities & attitude to undertake the assignment. Faculties from Commerce & Economics are deployed in supervision of audit, accounts, planning and allied areas. Similarly faculties social Sciences and Literature are deployed in different students‘ affairs , socially useful programs , outreached & extension activities. Faculties, having exposure/ contact with MNC , SME ,organization/ Institutes , are deployed in placement & counselling cell. Institute is also includes new faculties to associate to the committees for their upcoming activities, The mentioned practice are used in developing a HR Management system.

STRENGTH- Since the 24th Day of September, 1966 when the department of commerce had started its journey, a number of distinguished professors had endowed the faculty and through their academic acumen, pursuit to knowledge, passion and caring for the students for imparting pertinent knowledge which is ably upheld by their successors, the department of commerce had registered as the one of the front-runner in the institution so far as the University result and the active participation of extra-curricular activities are concerned.
BIJOY KRISHNA GIRLS’ COLLEGE, HOWRAH , W.B 292 NAAC RE-ACCREDITATION SELF STUDY REPORT 2015
Our students are our strength. They are mostly coming from rural, semi-urban areas, with few from urban areas. Along with students from the „general category‟, there is also notable representation from minority communities (scheduled castes and tribes). There is increasing representation from first generation students especially from minority communities. Besides, students from below poverty level (BPL) households are also well represented. Students are mostly proficient in Hindi, regional language i.e. Bengali and also well conversant with English. Students are always enthusiastic to participate in different activities like debate, seminar etc.
WEAKNESS- In view of a large numbers of students in the commerce department the numbers of machines are really meager. The Department had applied to the college authority to arrange as many computers as possible in order to ensure the learning process for the students in true sense.
OPPORTUNITY- The Dept. of Commerce is always having the opportunity for better results in CU exams. It has the potentiality to teach the first generation leaner in a way that they must get established in their career. There are scopes to organize seminars with the help of the College and UGC in near future. It has been decided that a series of programmes like students‟ seminar, wall magazine, dissertation, micro-teaching etc will be conducted throughout the year in view of the positive responses and demands from the students for organizing such type of programmes more frequently.
CHALLENGE- Nil
FUTURE PLANS
The Department of Commerce had contemplated to organize a number of programmes on the pursuit of providing a better learning environment both for the students and faculty members through active support from UGC College for Potential Excellence Scheme and other fundings as and when required.
(i) Seminar on IFRS, DTC and GST: As we all know that in coming years a lot of changes will take place so far as regulatory frameworks in the Indian business environment are concerned. A paradigm shift in the way the accounts be kept will change in tune of proposed BIJOY KRISHNA GIRLS’ COLLEGE, HOWRAH , W.B 293 NAAC RE-ACCREDITATION SELF STUDY REPORT 2015 convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Likewise age old taxation system will be changed in direct tax front by introduction of Direct Tax Code (DTC) and Goods and Service Tax (GST) in indirect tax regime respectively. A series of Student seminars/ class room special lectures by distinguished faculty members and professionals will be organized throughout the coming sessions to create awareness and to get some ideas for their treatments and applications specially meant for the students as well as for the faculty members.

(iii) Launching Departmental Journal: The Department of Commerce had planned to launch their maiden Departmental Journal “Pragyan” in the coming session. Although the department had their own version of wall magazine prepared by the students (this year the theme is e- banking), yet the department had decided to launch a „student version‟ of the Departmental Magazine in the coming year side by side with the Departmental Journal “Pragyan”. (iv) Renovation of Departmental Computer Laboratory: The Department of Commerce had their own Computer Laboratory in room no M-10 with six well configured machines, but in view of a large numbers of students in the commerce department the number of machines are really meager. The Department had applied to the college authority to arrange as many computers as possible in order to ensure the learning process for the students in true sense. (v) Student Dissertations and Micro-Teaching: As a part of series of initiative towards fostering better learning environment, the Department of Commerce had decided to launch a series of programmes like Dissertations/Projects by the students under the guidance of the teachers, Micro-Teaching to be delivered by the students, classroom Debate, Group-Discussion, Management Game, Role Playing and Simulation, Quiz competition, Extempore etc. in the coming sessions.
