Viramgam is a Taluka place of Ahmedabad District in Gujarat. It is a small town but a very important junction joining the Saurashtra region with the rest of Gujarat. Prior to 1964, there had been no institute for higher education in Viramgam or in any place within a radius of 60 kilometres. With very little transport facilities, it was almost impossible for the children of poor and middle class families especially the girl students, residing in this area to pursue higher education in Ahmedabad or any other place. At that time Shri Girdharlal Chandulal Desai, a resident of Mumbai and a native of Thuleta, a small village of Viramgam Taluka donated a handsome amount to start a college at Viramgam in the memory of his father, Desai Chandulal Manilal. Thus the Desai Chandulal Manilal Arts and Commerce College was started in 1964 with 103 students in Arts and 40 students in Commerce faculties. This Institute lays special emphasis on discipline and quality education and it has maintained its identity as a well disciplined and well run institute for higher education since its inception. Today, more than 1800 students are pursuing higher education in this institute. It is a matter of pride that there are five students pursuing their Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr R K Patel of this institute. This institute, besides running regular courses in B A and B Com, also offers PGDCA and runs BAOU centre for distance learning. It has also started various certificate courses for the benefit of the students.

This institute has excellent records in curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We have very successfully hosted three Youth Festivals of the Gujarat University during past five years. Our NSS and NCC units are among the best run units in the university. Our NSS unit has also organized an NIC camp within its premises. We have a very active Alumni Association, always ready to help the institute in every way. This institute celebrated its Golden Jubilee Year in 2014.

This college has well qualified and experienced teachers and a well equipped library and spacious class rooms for teaching and learning. The management of the institute has made sure that this growing institute has all the required infrastructural facilities. The management extends its full support and cooperation in all the activities of the institute especially to those related to the staff and research work. The teaching staff

Page 4 of 284 of this college are encouraged to take part in state, national and international seminars and conferences and I am very proud to note that a large number of our teachers have participated in such activities. One of our staff members, Prof Rajendra Prasad Shastri of the Sanskrit Department is a well known spiritual leader in this area and a very good spiritual speaker and has conducted a number of ‘Ram Kathas’. Prof I K Patel of the Home Science Department has donated a sizeable amount to the institute for starting the PGDCA course. Prof M D Shah is a trustee of one of the best academic institutes in Ahmedabad and has always made very valuable suggestions for the betterment of this college. We have a very efficient and devoted administrative staff also.

The success of a college depends largely on its Principal and the staff. This institute has had very dynamic and efficient principals and staff since its establishment. The present Principal, Dr N M Pethani is a very diligent person and a visionary. It is a matter of pride that he was appointed as the President of the Gujarat State Board of School Textbooks for three years by the State Government.

The members of the governing body of this college – Viramgam College Kelavani Mandal – are very cooperative and always trust me and have given me the liberty to do what is in the best interest of the institute. The management of this institute has a long vision for the development of higher education facilities in Viramgam.

I am very thankful to the UGC and the State Government for their financial support. I am indebted to the Gujarat University for all the works related to the academic field. This institute had its first NAAC accreditation done in 2008 and secured Grade B with 2.05 CGPA. The suggestions made by the peer team have helped us in enhancing the teaching-learning facilities in this institute.

As the President of the institute, I sincerely appreciate the efforts put forth by the entire team in the preparation of the Self Study Report. The assessment of the institutional performance will definitely help us to further enhance the quality of the teaching-learning process in our institute. I express my sincere gratitude to the Coordinator of the IQAC, Dr R K Patel. Without his sincere efforts and hard work it would not have been possible for us to complete this task successfullyIt is a matter of

Page 5 of 284 pride for us that he is an alumnus of this institute. Prof James Mathew and Dr V D Rajpuriya also worked as Coordinator of IQAC. I also thank all the teaching and non- teaching staff for their contribution in the preparation of this Report. I thank all the members of the Governing Board, alumni, parents and our students for their cooperation and contribution in this task.

Sevantilal K Vora President

It is a pleasure to submit the SSR of our College to NAAC for reaccreditation. It has been prepared by Our IQAC Coordinator- Dr R K Patel along with all the teaching and administrative staff members who have meticulously collected, analyzed, documented and articulated all our records and activities listed in seven criteria for the last five years. It was as great joy to see everyone working enthusiastically.

We have made our earnest efforts to implement all the recommendations given by the last Peer Team in 2008, and we have been quiet successful. We have started PGDCA course with Somnath Sanskrit University, Veraval, Gujarat, and a Scope Centre for the improvement of English of the students. We have installed Speakers in all the classrooms and LCD projectors with smart boards in 9 classrooms. The staffroom has been equipped with computer with internet facility, with a printer.

Since the last NAAC visit, the college has adopted policies that show a significant change in various areas like research, infrastructure development, extension activities, teaching learning process and student support mechanisms.

As part of our infrastructural growth process, we have built a Library Hall, Digital Education Lab and one more Computer Lab.

Student support forms an integral part of our college’s commitment. Since the sizable number of our students are first generation learners at the degree level, we provide them additional support in terms of financial assistance, counseling and monitoring. The management also provides any additional assistance when required. Staff members also provide financial assistance to weak students.

The college has also taken positive steps towards making the campus environment friendly with some NGOs. Many trees are planted to make the campus green.

To sum up, I feel so proud in presenting the SSR, a collective effort of all.

PREFACE OF THE INSTITUTION

Page 12 of 284 A

PREFACE OF THE INSTITUTION

Viramgam has been an economically and industrially backward area with no major industries or any other major source of employment. In 1964, though there were two High Schools in this town and a few others in the surrounding villages, there had been no institution for higher education in Viramgam. The nearest Institution for Higher Education was 60 kilometres away at Ahmedabad. So, for an ordinary student coming from even a middleclass family, it was almost impossible to pursue higher studies mainly for two reasons: (i) the transportation facilities available in those days were very poor. (ii) The cost of staying in hostels was unaffordable for most of the people of this area. So Shri Girdharbhai Chandulal Desai, a resident of Mumbai and a native of Thuleta, a small village of Viramgam Taluka, realized the necessity of starting a college in Viramgam and providing adequate higher education facilities to this rural area. Therfore, He has established this college in memory of his father Shri Desai Chandulal Manilal. Thus the Desai Chandulal Manilal Arts and Commerce College was started in 1964.

This college was established in 1964 in the Sheth M J High School building with 103 students in the Arts and 40 students in the Commerce faculties. Initially, the college was run by the Sheth Maganlal Jeychand High School Board, which was established in the year 1917. By June 1967 the college had its own building ready and it was shifted to the new premises, under a new management – the Viramgam College Kelvani Mandal.

Initially the institution offered two main subjects in the Arts faculty, namely, Economics and Gujarati. The Commerce faculty offered Advanced Accounting and Auditing as main subjects and Secretarial Practice as the subsidiary subject. But as years rolled on, the institution added more subjects either as Main or Subsidiary to meet the need of the changing times and to help the students with wider job opportunities or to find self-employment.

Page 13 of 284 Today, this institution offers six main subjects in the Arts Faculty – Economics, Gujarati, Hindi, Sanskrit, Psychology and Home Science. More subsidiary subjects were added both in the Arts and Commerce faculties, including Computer Science. English is taught as a compulsory subject in all the classes as per the syllabus of the Gujarat University. Today there are 7 subjects that are taught here with 11 Departments.

VISION To make good quality higher education within the reach of the common people of Viramgam town and the many surrounding villages in the region and to ensure that the education imparted would not only enrich the students’ knowledge but also instill discipline, self confidence and human values which would help them to become responsible citizens of the country.

MISSION To provide the necessary infrastructure and other supporting facilities to achieve the vision of the institutions and also to review, revised and update the existing facilities and systems periodically to match the demands and needs of the changing times.

OBJECTIVES To increase higher education among the students of the rural region. To bring improvement of the people of this rural area in social and education aspects of the rural population. To provide all the required infrastructural facilities to the students and faculty. To encourage students by involving them in nation building activities like NCC, NSS etc. To make students conversant with values of life and to develop their behavioral pattern.
