The College, with its focus on its Vision, Mission and Goal, is emerging as a premier institution since its establishment. To begin with, the College introduced Arts,Science, Commerce and Management programmes.
At present, the College is in its own building with two satellite campuses. A few of the Arts and Commerce classes are held in the satellite campuses. The College has an active website and IQAC. An efficient, well-qualified and dedicated staff along with the best administrative faculty has been the institution‘s strength and this, in turn, has contributed to a good teaching-learning environment. Although the College is in the developing stage, it has excelled in many ways, in terms of quality as also admissions. The students too, have brought laurels to the College.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pandavapura is a town in Mandya District in Karnataka. It is the administrative (Taluk) centre of Pandavapurataluk. Mythologically this town used to be called ―Pandavapura‖ meaning ‗a place which gave shelter to Pandavas and their mother. It is 28 kilometers away from Mysuru. It is located on the State Highway of Mysore to Bidar. The college is established in 2007 to cater to the educational needs of rural students. It helped rural girls to seek higher education at their door-step. It is a remarkable thing because if not for this college, higher education would have been a mirage to these rural girls. It has grown from year to year and now it offers undergraduate courses in Arts and Humanities, Pure Sciences and Commerce and Management. This college which started with a humble strength of 157 students in 2007 has risen to 736 in 2013-14. The Institute has to its credit well qualified, dedicated staff who not only teach the concerned subjects, but also act as mentors to students. Prof. Siddaramu, who has a good teaching experience, is currently leading the college with his able administration.
As the present campus of 50/200 yards is insufficient to cater to the growing needs of the students, attempts are made to acquire a spacious site of 10 acres that can answer theneeds. The strength of the Institution is its qualified and committed faculty members, industrious administrative staff, the various Programmes and Cells funded by State Government, good academic ambience and the enthusiastic students. The College has always been in the frontline in fulfilling its social objectives in terms of educational attainments and producing quality individuals. The strength of the students at present is 662 and the strength of the faculty is 46 (14 PermanentStaff+ 32 Guest Faculty) with 4 non-teaching staff. 04 among the teaching staff members are Doctorate holders, 03 of them are pursuing PhD,12 of them have M.Phil degree and 12 of them have qualified in the NET/SLET examinations. The College has prepared Self Study Report with relevant information on its notable programmes under each criterion.
The highlights of the criteria-wise analysis is as follows: Having completed 7 years of valuable educational service, the college now offers degree programmes in Arts, Commerce, Management and Science at the Under graduate level to meet the needs of the rural youth. The college is affiliated to the Mysore University
and follows the Semester Scheme pattern. The university updates the syllabus as and when required and our Institution follows its curriculum strictly. The admission to various courses is made in accordance with the regulations specified by Government of Karnataka and Mysore University. The primary objective of the Institution is to enable the students to cope with the demands of the contemporary global scenario through effective transaction of the curricular and co-curricular aspects. Academic excellence, personality development and social orientation are our guiding principles. Our objective is to provide quality education to the rural youth, hailing mostly from the farming class who belong to marginalized and weaker sections of the society and transform them into better individuals so that they contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding the values of secularism, national integration and social commitment. The objectives of the College are made known to the stakeholders through the College website and College prospectus. To implement the curriculum effectively enrichment programmes such as Workshops, special lectures, group discussions, seminars, village camps, industrial visits, etc., are organized. According to the rules and regulations of the University and the State Government, the College maintains transparency in the admission process as the process of admission is fully computerized. There is an Admission Committee in the College. It scrutinizes all the admission forms of aspiring student and takes due care of the norms prescribed by the State Government and the affiliating university regarding the eligibility of candidates. The admission committee members conduct counseling and help the students in the admission process. The students are admitted on first come first served basis. IQAC contributes to improve the teaching–learning process by planning for new courses at UG level, introducing more teaching aids to improve the teaching–learning process and encourage innovative practices. It facilitates support for interdisciplinary programme and faculty development programme. Teachers are evaluated by students once a year. Feedback is processed and analyzed by the Principal; later, the results are intimated personally to the teachers. Suggestions are given by the Principal, if necessary. The College consists of a good number of PhD scholars contributing to establishing a research culture among the staff and the students. Special lecture, student seminar and workshops are conducted frequently by the concerned departments. The Institution has been recognized under 2(f) of the UGC Act and is processing the inclusion of this Institution under 12(b) of UGC act. With the inclusion, many of the faculty members who are very enthusiastic to undertake research activities in their respective areas will be provided opportunities to
pursue their zeal for research.
Our College is well equipped with library, laboratories, furniture and equipments and sports ground. The College is providing an ample opportunity to the students to participate in various extracurricular activities, sports, NSS, Red ribbon club, etc. Computers are freely accessible to the students to enhance their job skills. Library with huge quantum of books is kept open access to borrow books. The partially automated library is to be shortly switched over to completely automated one with maximum access to the library collection. Current information, placements and career development programme will be immediately displayed on the notice board. Counseling cell takes active part in resolving the problems of the students through counseling and guidance. A good number of students attending job mela organized by Corporate Sectors and other financial institutions have succeeded in getting job. The College has a Alumni Association and its activities have been a major contribution for academic growth. The percentage of students‘ progress from UG to PG is gradually increasing. Faculty members of the College personally counsel and encourage the students as Class mentors and facilitate them for progression towards higher level of education and employment. The College has its own vision and mission. The Principal in consultation with the staff formulates plans and executes timely policies for the uplift of academic curriculum. He establishes a cordial relationship among the staff and brings harmony which is utmost important for the effective implementation of quality plans and policies. Every department in the college prepares its own SWOC analysis. Accordingly each department is functioning at its best efforts. Decentralized administration and effective communication has helped the Institution to grow in a short span of time. Intimacy between teachers and students has also been a contributing factor to a greater extent of quality education. The College is planning to extend its advanced courses in the days to come. The Institution has planted trees to have greenery in the campus. Uniform as a dress code has been introduced from the year 2013-14 to inculcate discipline among the students and cultivate an impression of equality among them irrespective of their socio-economic background.
Methodology: SWOC analysis is made on the basis of feedback from stakeholders such as CDC members, parents, Alumni and the community at large, through feedback, group discussions and interactions with faculty members.
Strength:
Well experienced, highly qualified, duty-conscious, efficient faculty members. Around 30% of the faculty members in our college are PhD holders. Teachers are encouraged to pursue research. About 33% of the faculty members are already involved in research activities. Collective leadership and teamwork is the cornerstone for the growth of our College. Teacher-Student ratio is 1:30 and this has culminated in academic excellence due to the individual attention that is given by the teacher. A functional hostel building for students is run by the social welfare department. The College has active cell of NSS unit with the motive to serve the society and contribute to the economy. The technical, administrative and support staff are computer literates and professionally qualified. Adopting latest methodology for nurturing weaker students through remedial and spoken English classes. Our College has facilities such as—good computer lab, library with good number of books and well-equipped laboratory to run the UG Program. Supportive and encouraging College Development Council. Good network with Institutes of importance and Industries. Mixed ability students are admitted to our College and while going out as output, they bring laurels to our Institution with good marks and distinction. Existence of placement cell to support the students pursuing higher education and help them in getting employment. Existence of registered alumni and its support for academic activities.
Weakness:
Basic infrastructure such as adequate number of class rooms, an auditorium, science labs, medical care unit, smart classrooms, round the clock reading facility, waiting rooms, counseling room and NSS room, are, no doubt, the need of the hour for our Institution.
Lack of academic autonomy makes the college dependent on university. Insufficient LAN, Wi-Fi and Internet facilities pose problems to staff and students. Lack of language lab to impart soft skills training is a major drawback. Need for qualified and technical assistance and support staff for the laboratories and departments is acute. Lack of playground, full-fledged gymnasium and indoor games is felt by the sports lovers. Likewise, the automation of library and office is also a dire requirement. As the Courses are conducted in three different buildings, lack of coordination among students as well as faculty is another setback to the teaching-learning process. There is a need for adequate faculty in the department of Commerce and Management, Geography, Economics and Computer Science. Planned faculty development, technical and support staff development and also training have to be implemented.
Opportunities: Post-Graduation Center/ Course/Programs are proposed in the near future. Research Center, too, needs to be established. The College has the advantage of having a few Industries in the vicinity. Disadvantage, if any, is hoped to be turned into strength/Opportunities so as to make this College a Knowledge Center and a temple of learning. Student‘s and teacher‘s Exchange Program with other Colleges are proposed. It is hoped to increase the strength of the students. Institute also proposes to start faculty/Staff Development Center.
Challenges/Threats: Availability of competent faculty is a basic requirement for the Success of the teaching-learning process. Attractive terms and conditions offered by Industries to meritorious students are resulting in the reduction of availability of students for higher studies. Global recession has also had its impact on higher education. Limited land area is an impediment to the growth of our Institution.
Our College is located in a rural area. However, the basic amenities are yet to be provided. Frequent transfer of teachers is a challenge to the interest of students. It is a challenge to build a network with parents for the holistic development of students. It is challenge to teach students coming from poverty ridden agricultural background. Our Future Plans
The Institution is looking forward to acquiring a specious land of 10 acres to make possible future development of the college, after which the following resolutions have been chalked out for immediate implementation: To have a full-fledged building. To have high-tech classrooms with smart boards. To have Audio-Visual room. To have a Conference hall for conducting Special lectures, Seminars, Power Point Presentations, Workshops, etc. To provide a Health Centre for the convenience of rural youth as also to address their health problems To have a Counseling Centre. To introduce new selected global-oriented streams of Post Graduate Courses To provide women students with hostel facilities
In short, since the College is in a rural area, with all the facilities listed above, the Institution is hopeful of getting still better strength in future. Inferences: Our College can, certainly, become one of the best Institutions sought after by the student community, in the days to come. Proper funding facilities, at the earliest, can help the Institution overcome the prevailing disadvantages. Introduction of P.G. Courses can help elevate the level of learning.
