PREFACE Arya Vidyapeeth College is one of the premier educational institutions of Assam catering to the need of higher education and tapping the intellectual potential of the youth not only within the state but also of the entire North East India. “Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya”- Let the advent of light remove all darkness- are the opening words of the vision statement of the College. Late Giridhar Sarma, an exceptional visionary, renowned academician and litterateur of repute, established the College on 29 July, 1958 thus realising his dream project to set up an ideal educational institute from the primary to post graduate level. Since its inception, the College has steadfastly and consistently been able to meet the challenges and ever changing demands in the field of higher education. While keeping its roots deeply entrenched in Indian culture and values, the College has marched ahead with the fast moving times. The College is committed to enrich and empower the young generation not only through quality education but also through the various opportunities provided to hone their extracurricular skills and develop their sense of social responsibility.Arya Vidyapeeth College has played a key role in academic upliftment of disadvantaged students of the region. The College has a steady record of ensuring a better academic performance of students with a lower input at the entry level. Arya Vidyapeeth College has been the first amongst all the grants-in-aid Colleges of Assam in many areas like opening up of PG Courses in Mathematics as well as Honours in Economics. The College started COSIP and COHSIP Programmes way back in 1974. It is worth mentioning that the College has introduced PG course in Chemistry and UG course in Commerce from 2015. Keeping in mind the changing scenario, the College has been successfully running self-sustaining courses in Computers, certificate course in Human Rights and certificate and diploma courses in Bioinformatics. The College has also reached out to the larger masses through distance learning by opening up a full- fledged Study Centre of IGNOU. The teaching faculty of the College has contributed immensely towards the upliftment of academic as well as general atmosphere of the College. The research culture in the College is undoubtedly one of its high points. Moreover, many faculty members have time and again brought laurels to the College through their various achievements. The College was accredited with B++ grade in the year 2004 by the NAAC. The appreciation of the NAAC Peer team and their suggestions and recommendations motivated us to further our goals. In the years following the first accreditation of the College, various measures have been adopted in this direction like, the formation of the IQAC in 2005; phase wise office automation with an aim to improve the functioning of the administrative process; development of sports/gym facilities; development of Botanical Garden apart from efforts to improve library infrastructure and the development of the playground. On the pedagogical front, apart from several self funding courses, remedial courses have been introduced. Bright students have been provided

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 5

opportunities for academic interactions with personalities and institutions of repute. Student representatives have been given priority in the various cells, clubs and committees formed in the College. The seat capacity of the existing Girls’ Hostel has been increased by constructing a new annexed building. The Assam type Girls’ Common Room has been converted to a three storied academic unit with the GCR at the ground floor. By organising the DST meet on Herpetology, Indian Academy of Sciences’ sponsored workshops and several national seminars, the College has made efforts to upgrade itself on the academic front. A glittering feather in the cap of the College was added on 19 March 2010 when Arya Vidyapeeth College was recognised as a College with Potential for Excellence by UGC. Another day of great pride for the College was 26 April 2014 when the CMAI National Assam Education Summit & Award 2014 was awarded to the Department of Mathematics for Excellence in Post-Graduate Teaching. While presenting itself for the second cycle of accreditation, the College has made all efforts to strictly adhere to the instructions laid down by the NAAC. This Self Study Report is the outcome of the sincere, committed and co- operative endeavour of all the stakeholders of the College.

Chapter-I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CURRICULAR ASPECTS

The College was established with the vision, Tomaso Ma Jyotirgamaya to cater to the need for higher education. A concrete mission and vision of the College was envisioned and this has been implemented in letter and spirit since the inception of the College. The College strictly follows the course curriculum designed by Gauhati University, Guwahati. A few faculty members of the College are members of the Committee on Courses and Studies (CCS) of Gauhati University and as such contribute a lot towards design and development of course curriculum of the Gauhati University. The members of the CCS provide valuable suggestion to the Committee based on feedback received from the students, faculty members, alumni, parents and the community at large. The College provides all the necessary support to the faculty members so that the curriculum can be implemented effectively. The faculty members take utmost care that this curriculum is completed within the stipulated time. A few self- sustainable certificate and diploma courses are also offered by the College. The IQAC takes feedback annually from the students on courses and about the performance of the faculty. The analysis of the feedback is then communicated to the concerned teacher. Being affiliated to Gauhati University, the College has a very limited scope to contribute to the designing and development of the course curriculum.

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

The College follows an effective and transparent admission process. During the admission process the College strictly adheres to the reservation policy of the Government of Assam. The College offers three streams, i.e. Arts, Science and Commerce, at the UG level which includes 20 disciplines and PG courses in Mathematics and Chemistry. The College also offers a few add-on courses. During the last five years, the College has not been able to introduce new vocational courses other than computer related courses. The College understands the need to sensitise its staff and students on issues such as gender, environment and scientific temperament and hence the various clubs and cells regularly organise activities towards realising these objectives. There is a well planned mechanism in place in order to carry out the teaching learning and evaluation process in an organised manner. In this context, the IQAC, the HoDs, and the departments collaborate to achieve the desired results. The faculty members, in order to make the teaching learning process more effective, undertake innovative teaching methods. While tutorial classes cater to the extra needs of the students, seminars, assignments, group discussions etc. help internal assessment of the students immensely. To nurture their critical thinking and creativity, the students

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 8

are encouraged to participate in different programmes organised outside the purview of the classrooms. The library of the College has a substantial collection of books and journals available to the students. The faculty members of the College have developed vast experience in teaching and are always committed to helping the students to be equipped to meet the demands of modern times. The College Examination Branch works efficiently in implementing the evaluation process as devised by the affiliating University. It is worth mentioning that the College is able to ensure a consistent academic performance of students with a lower stratum input at the entry level.

RESEARCH CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

The College provides adequate support to its faculty members to pursue research. In spite of infrastructural limitations, the Academic and Research Committee of the College encourage active participation of the faculty members in various research fields. In the last five years the teachers of the College have published more than 500 books/research papers/articles. The affiliating University has recognised 8 departments of the College for research leading to Ph.D. degree. There has been a remarkable growth in the number of research guides from 2 in 2004 (during last NAAC visit) to 14 in 2015. Under the research guides, a total number of 13 scholars have already completed their Ph.D. and 42 scholars are continuing research leading to Ph.D. During the last five years the College has to its credit 8 Major projects and 35 Minor Projects (completed and ongoing). Though the College has no specific research fund, it allocates certain budgetary amount to the departments to organise popular and research related talks. A good number of teachers have published research papers/articles in various journals/books which reflect the thrist for academic excelence. The College regularly organises seminars, workshops, etc. for the enrichment of the students and the faculty members with funding from agencies like UGC, DST, ISI, ASTEC, etc. A major constraint for the teachers in getting actively engaged in research activities is the extra work load of the teachers for conducting classes at higher secondary level (10+2). Keeping in mind its vision, mission and objectives, the College always gives importance to the promotion of the Institute-neighbourhood community network. It strives to create social responsibilities in the young minds of the students by organising different extension and value based programmes. It may be mentioned that inspite of all the contributions in the field of research, the College is yet to develop a structured policy for promoting consultancy services and industrial linkages.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

The College has a well defined policy for the development of the infrastructural facilities for improvement of academic excellence. The College was established long back with Assam type building, which is being replaced gradually with RCC

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 9

constructions adhering to the master plan in a phased manner. Such infrastructural projects are funded by different agencies like UGC, DST and Government of Assam. The College also generates funds for infrastructural development from the students and MP/ MLA aid funds. The College has a large campus with more than 15 acres of land which include the academic campus, hostels, residential campus, health centre and a playground. To keep pace with the technological advancement, the College has set up a digital class room. The laboratories of the College have the requisite facilities which are supported by DST-FIST. The reading space of the College library has been expanded to accommodate more readers. The library also remains open during the vacations. The cataloguing of the library has been computerised with the latest KOHA software. Phase wise automation of the office has already been started. In a partial fulfillment of the automation process, the admission process has already been upgraded. The computers within the College campus are connected with cable network. Installation process of Wi-fi facility is underway to make it operational within the Campus on paid basis. The College has two hostels for boys and girls. The College is aware of the fact that the hostels need to be improved in terms of infrastructure.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION

The College has a proper mechanism to disseminate information to all the stakeholders. The College prospectus and website are the official means to convey information regarding administrative and academic matters to all concerned. The College has a Students’ Aid Fund to support students belonging to economically backward section of the society. The College also facilitates students to avail various scholarship schemes of the Government agencies. To address the problems faced by the slow learners, the College arranges special classes, tutorials and remedial classes. Coaching classes are also organised for students appearing in NET/SLET /TET/ other competitive examinations. The students can avail free medical service from the fullfledged Health Centre of the College. Academic and Career Counselling services are also provided. The College has set up an Anti Ragging Cell to curb the menace of ragging. For the overall development of the students, the College organises various extra-curricular and co-curricular programmes with active participation of the students. Besides the annual College magazine, all the departments and the hostels publish wall magazines which are solely contributed and edited by the students. To ensure participatory democracy, the College has included student representatives in different committees and cells. It is to be noted that the voluntary student participation is not to the satisfaction of the College. The College has followed Government rules in letter and spirit in matters relating to reservations and special considerations. As such, there is a provision for reservation of seats for persons with disability. The College is sensitive towards the specially abled but has not yet been able to develop the necessary infrastructure up to mark. The College has produced a number of successful

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 10

alumni in various fields who have acclaimed national and international repute, but has not been able to harness their services due to lack of proper network. However, some departments have maintained a cordial and fruitful relationship.

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

Arya Vidyapeeth College is governed by the principles of participatory democracy while maintaining a hierarchical set up for smooth and effective functioning. The College has an efficient internal management system under the leadership of the Principal. The Governing Body, the Principal, the IQAC and the staff work together for designing and implementation of policies and plans of the College. The leadership also encourages the participation of the various stakeholders. The College has been identified by the UGC as an institution having potential for excellence (CPE) which has helped the College in achieving many of its stated goals. Many of the perspective plans of the College have materialised under the guidance of the leadership. The authority takes the necessary steps to improve available human resource and for maximum utilisaton of existing facilities in the College. Faculty members are encouraged to pursue research activities. The authority attends to and tries to resolve grievances and complaints raised by different sections of the stakeholders. Faculty empowerment strategies and office development programmes are adopted to enhance professional development of the staff and to equip them with specialised skills. With a view to improving the functioning and streamlining the administrative functioning process, the College has been moving ahead with office automation in a phased manner. However, complete automation is yet to be accomplished. Various welfare schemes are available to the members of the staff. An efficient and sound financial management system is in place to manage the financial resources both for academic and administrative purposes. Accounts are audited by both internal auditors and Government. The IQAC plays a leading and significant role in enhancing and maintaining the academic and administrative quality of the College. Amongst the different functions of the IQAC, the process of conducting the students’ feedback on various aspects of the teaching learning process and preparation of format for the Teaching Plan and its Execution Report can be highlighted. The proposals and initiatives of the IQAC have through the years ensured constant upgrading of facilities and infrastructure.

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTISES

The College makes a conscious effort to develop eco-friendly atmosphere though it does not have the provision of green audit as of now. The College is sensitive towards the growing development in the field of energy conservation, but it has not made enough progress in this line. A detailed proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Non-renewable Energy, Government of India for installation of

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 11

solar energy system in the campus. The College has taken initiatives like shifting to CFL/LED lights and green boards. Plantation programmes are regularly conducted by the College. Recently, to deal with the problem of artificial water logging in the campus, the College has developed the drainage system. Having said so, the College has within its limited infrastructural facilities, tried to inculcate environment awareness among the students through the various Cells of the College. One among the best practices of the College is the adoption of the Garbhanga village and its Lower Primary School (GLPS), which is located in the outskirts of Guwahati. This initiative has brought positive change in the targeted locality. Efforts are made to connect with the neighbourhood and interact on various environmental and academic issues as desired. The other best practice that the College desires to point out is the effort made by the College to popularise classical and folk art and culture. This helps in engaging students in productive and creative activities. This practice has resulted in the formation of a cultural group, Sanskriti which was exclusively initiated by students.

WEAKNESSES: 1. Being an affiliated college, it has a very limited scope to contribute to the designing and development of the course curriculum. 2. During the last five years, the College has not been able to introduce new vocational courses other than computer related courses. 3. There is a constraint of space in the library. 4. Both the boys’ and girls’ hostels need to be improved in terms of infrastructure to meet the demands of the students. 5. Though the College has the benefit of possessing a large area of land, it is yet to be utilised fully. 6. Though the College tries to help the physically and visually challenged persons it has no specific infrastructural facilities to meet all their requirements.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 14

7. The health centre of the College has no ambulance facility for transportation in emergency. 8. Constraint of space within the academic campus of the College. 9. No specific policy to get grants from industries and other corporate agencies for developing research facilities or infrastructure. 10. The College is yet to develop a structured policy for promoting consultancy services and industrial linkages. 11. Complete automation of the office has still to be accomplished. 12. A good number of teaching and non teaching posts are lying vacant.

OPPORTUNITIES: 1. Many faculty members (the number being 22) are members of CCS of Gauhati University, where they have a say in curriculum development. 2. There is scope for developing new certificate and diploma courses. 3. Adhering to the master plan of the College the old Assam type structures are gradually being replaced with RCC construction which will help in enlargement of academic infrastructure and complete elevation of the institute to PG level in the near future. 4. The Alumni Association and proper utilization of its connections can create good links for the College. 5. The College with its high enrolment rate and its policy of inclusiveness and integration provides educational opportunities for a diverse category of students. Reputed as an institute of excellence it has attracted students from all over the northeast. In this situation the College can strive towards attaining grants from the government for opening new courses relating to tribal and folklore studies. 6. Arya Vidyapeeth College is one amongst a very short list of colleges offering courses in all three streams – Science, Arts and Commerce – thus having the potential to shape the careers of students with varied interests. 7. The College has over the years progressed to a stage where it can become a meeting ground for scholars, educationists, scientists, artists and the students. 8. As the preliminary discussions are going on regarding the installation of solar energy, the College has the opportunity to generate its own energy in the future and be self sufficient. 9. As the College is moving ahead with new building constructions, it can plan for roof water harvesting. 10. The unutilised land of the College can be used for further extension of the academic infrastructure, sports, and recreation complexes. 11. The cultural group, Sanskriti has the potential to represent the College at various forums.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 15

CHALLENGES: 1. Due to limited space in the library it becomes a challenge to accommodate a large number of students and therefore specific days have been allotted for each class to borrow books. 2. To maintain a consistent academic performance of students with a comparatively lower input at the entry level is a big challenge for the College. 3. In the last few years, frequent strikes and bandhs called by different organizations and flash flood in the campus have affected the regular execution of the lesson plan to some extent. In such situations, the teachers overcome the challenges by arranging extra classes. 4. Completion of courses and revision in time is a matter needing serious thought because the teachers are still required to take classes in the 10+2 stage. This has also created a major constraint for the teachers in getting actively engaged in research activities due to such extra work load. 5. Since the College also caters to the need of Higher Secondary students of the northeast, the challenge lies in juggling and managing the two totally different systems – one annual and the other Semester. 6. The requirement of space and additional structure has had to be minimised by optimum utilization of existing infrastructural resources. 7. To mobilise finance for further extension of the infrastructure in the available land. 8. To involve the alumni in the development of the College to the desired level poses a challenge to the college. 9. The huge gap in the student-teacher ratio in some departments also is a challenge in many ways. 10. In today’s troubled times the need of the hour is to inculcate in the students the values of discipline, ethics and the spirit of co-operation, apart from academic zeal. The College has taken up this challenge wholeheartedly. 11. Even while facing the chronic problem of artificial flood in the College, the teachers and students strive to maintain normal functioning of classes. 12. Despite the infrastructural constraints the College is making every effort to introduce more PG courses to meet the demand of the present academic needs.

Taking into consideration the present situation, the College has opened up the commerce stream at under graduate level as well. There has been a growing demand for students of Chemistry in the chemical based industrial sector. Since Gauhati University has limited number of seats for M.Sc in Chemistry, the university itself encourages its affiliated Colleges to open M.Sc course in Chemistry to meet the increasing demand for the chemists.

3.2 RESOURCE MOBILIZATION FOR RESEARCH 3.2.1 What percentage of the total budget is earmarked for research? Give details of major heads of expenditure, financial allocation and actual utilization. The College has no specific fund earmarked exclusively for research. But the College authority encourages the departments to hold seminars, special lectures by inviting resource persons from different fields to promote research environment in the College. For this purpose the College authority provides some amount of financial support through the Activities Fund. This budgetary allowance varies from department to department depending on the requirement. Budgetary allowance is also granted to those departments which undertake project works as part of the syllabus. 3.2.2 Is there a provision in the institution to provide seed money to the faculty for research? If so, specify the amount disbursed and the percentage of the faculty that has availed the facility in the last four years? The College has no such provision to provide seed money to the faculty for their individual research works. However, the College tries to provide the basic infrastructural support in academic pursuits. 3.2.3 What are the financial provisions made available to support student research projects by students? As per university syllabi, project work is compulsory in all the under graduate level Major courses except a few. In the science departments, the students are supported in terms of chemicals, glassware and instruments available in the department.

Cite examples of successful endeavors and challenges faced in organizing interdisciplinary research. In the University course curriculum, Environmental Studies (EVS) is a compulsory subject for under graduate students of all the streams. In this course the students of the 4th Semester need to carry out a project and submit the final report at the end of the semester. The themes of the projects are interdisciplinary in nature with a special focus on environmental issues. As such there is a scope of inter disciplinary approaches for the students in preparing the project works. The Institutional Bio-Tech Hub of the College is also acting as interdisciplinary research cell. This cell initiates some programmes for the students of Major level especially of Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. These programmes have opened up opportunities for the students of various subjects to gather knowledge having inter-disciplinary relevance. Departments like Statistics, Geography and Anthropology also conduct some programmes like surveying remote villages, sensitive zones and carrying out ethnological study of indigenous communities. The information gathered from these studies reflects the socio-economic and cultural profile of the society.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 82

Moreover, quite a number of MRP and Ph. D projects undertaken by faculty members are of an inter-disciplinary nature. The teachers frequently present papers at national and international seminars cutting across disciplines. Interdisciplinary research on a formal level faces certain challenges. The affiliating University and the UGC and other funding agencies have specific guidelines defining interdisciplinary boundaries. Scholars pursuing MRP and Ph.D in interdisciplinary areas face the challenge of keeping their research within these specified boundaries. For instance a scholar from the Humanities can undertake interdisciplinary research related to Social Sciences without compromising the identity of his/her own discipline. A few proposals have been rejected by funding agencies which did not follow these specifications. 3.2.5 How does the Institution ensure optimal use of various equipment and research facilities of the institution by its staff and students? A few departments of the College have University recognised Ph. D laboratories which have the necessary research facilities for students and the faculty members. The Laboratories of the Science departments are equipped with sophisticated instruments which are purchased from the grants received from UGC, DST, and DBT as well as from the College fund. The College library subscribes to a number of journals and e–journals. There is a rich collection of resourceful books and reference materials available in the library which can be utilised for research purposes. Some departments also subscribe to journals relevant to their areas. Likewise reference books are also purchased both by the departments and the central library.

The socially oriented activities of the College are not income generating as the basic objective of the College is to establish a strong relationship with the society. We provide honorary services to the society to fulfill this social responsibility.

3.6. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES AND INSTITUTIONAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: 3.6.1 How does the institution promote institution-neighborhood community network and student engagement, contributing to good citizenship, service orientation and holistic development of students? True to its mission, vision and objectives, the College always gives importance to the promotion of the Institute–neighborhood community network. It strives to create social responsibilities in the young minds of students by different extension and value based programmes. The College continuously organises a number of outreach activities relating to academic, social and cultural areas. Some training services and adventure activities are also organised, all culminating in building a healthy society contributing towards nation building. Such services include the National Service Scheme (NSS) which sensitises students towards social activities such as participation in Republic Day Parade, National Youth Day, National Integration Camp; rallies against terrorism and violence, and against tobacco; celebrating Gandhi Jayanti for better understanding of the Gandhian Philosophy etc. Another important activity of the NSS unit is to organise the Annual NSS Camp where students are given scope to become familiar with different sections of the society. Semi-urban to fringe villages are selected wherein annual camps are conducted

with the motto to help/serve the community. Similarly NCC also takes steps to organise awareness camps and programmes including blood donation and health check up camps apart from their regular drills. Special mention can be made of Red Ribbon Club, Eco Club, Science Club, Entrepreneurship Development Cell, Debate Club and Women’s Cell. The institute motivates the students to maintain a plastic free zone by banning the use of plastic in the campus. The Van Mahotsav is conducted by the Eco Club every year. The College has adopted a village, Garbhanga and the teachers of the College are actively engaged in empowering the students. Another village Pamohi has been adopted by the NSS unit of the College. The NSS students camp for around ten days every year in the village and undertake survey and advice the villagers regarding conservation of important plants. From time to time various departments also participate in such programmes at the departmental level. Young faculty members are given responsibilities to organise extension activities along with experienced faculty members in such groups. Arya Vidyapeeth College Teachers’ Unit also participates in such programmes. The students are encouraged to participate actively in different socially relevant issues through the Arya Vidyapeeth College Students’ Union. Institutional Biotech Hub plays a significant role in extension programmes involving various school and College level students. Above all the College has up graded its Health Centre to a full-fledged one under NHM, Government of Assam, with a full time Doctor, nurses and office staff. The service is open to all the people of the neighbouring community benefitting them immensely. 3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students involvement in various social movements/activities which promote citizenship roles? The College organises a number of value based extension programmes through various cells and clubs to motivate students towards social responsibility. Following are some cells, clubs and programmes which deserve special attention and which keep the records of involvement of the students in various social movements/activities which promote citizenship roles:  National Service Scheme (NSS)  National Cadet Corps (NCC)  Scouts and Guides  Red ribbon Club  Career Counselling  Entrepreneurship Development Cell  Cultural Club  Science Club  Debate Club  Disaster Management Cell  Women’s Cell  Eco Club  Literary Cell

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the overall performance and quality of the institution? The College has two kinds of stakeholders. 1. The in house stakeholders are the students, faculty members and the office staff. 2. The external stakeholders are Guardians/parents, Alumni, and the people from the locality. The feedback and suggestion from all these sections are always honoured and communicated to the authority from time to time.  Students’ feedback is taken annually. IQAC takes the responsibility of conducting the feedback and same is sent to the authority for analysis  The teachers and the office assistants also have their own forums where they discuss all the problems of the College and place them before the authority. The Principal discusses the matters in the Staff Council meetings and takes necessary action after getting approval from the College Governing Body.  Each department of the College organises at least one Parent-Teacher Meet every year where the parents or the guardians can offer their suggestions. The parents can also directly put forth their suggestions and complaints to the head of the institution which are taken care of if necessary.  The Arya Vidyapeeth College Retired Teachers Association is an active forum.

CRITERION-IV INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES 4.1 PHYSICAL FACILITIES 4.1.1 What is the policy of the Institute for the creation and enhancement of infrastructure that facilitate effective teaching and learning? The College has a well defined policy for the development of the infrastructural facilities for improvement of academic excellence. The College initiates necessary steps by constructing new buildings when necessary and undertaking renovation of existing facilities. Such infrastructural projects are funded by different agencies like UGC, DST and Government of Assam and also by the schemes under the MP and MLA funds. In addition to this a portion of the students’ enrollment fees earmarked under various Heads like Campus Development, Building and Maintenance, is utilised for the infrastructural development. The College devises its policies related to infrastructure in the following manner:  The infrastructural facilities are improved in accordance with the College master plan. Infrastructural needs of the College are discussed thoroughly in the meetings of various forums like the Governing Body, Staff Council; Principal’s meeting with the HoDs and the various relevant committees. All proposals for infrastructural development projects are prepared well in advance so as to be included in the College Annual Budget. The Routine Committee plans and prepares the daily time table well ahead of the beginning of an academic session, which ensures that the management has sufficient time to look into requirements regarding class rooms, laboratories, furniture and other equipments and take necessary measures.  Optimum utilisation of existing infrastructural resources is made possible because the College follows the dual shift system. The College runs three streams viz, Science, Humanities and Commerce at the UG level in two shifts i.e. Morning shift and Day shift, from 8.00 AM till 5.00 PM in the available class rooms. Some add-on courses are also conducted simultaneously in the available class rooms in the College. The requirement of space and the need for additional structure has been minimised by this strategy which ensures that the available class rooms and other facilities of the College are made optimal use of. The infrastructure is also used on Saturdays and Sundays for IGNOU classes.  The Principal of the College takes necessary approval of the College Governing Body relating to all matters of construction and in consultation with the members of the Construction Committee calls for tenders and quotations following the proper procedures. The College Construction Committee monitors the construction work and ensures the appropriate use of the funds received. After completion of the work the accounts of expenditure is audited and utilisation certificates are submitted to the concerned funding agencies.

6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If ‘yes’, give details on its operationalisation. All academic and administrative activities of the College are supervised under the leadership of the Principal with the IQAC planning, preparing and monitoring all such activities. Thus the various departments, committees and cells and the office, all work in tandem with the policies and programmes chalked out by the Principal and the IQAC. All the components of the College are integrated with one another with the IQAC holding the reins as far as ensuring quality is concerned. The Principal holds periodic meetings with the faculty members and office staff to discuss various issues related to quality assurance of the academic and administrative activities. The stakeholders can share their concerns with each other and with the Principal, which helps in improving the quality. The Library is updated regularly with recent books. In this matter, the HoDs in consultation with the other faculty members help by providing a list of required books. While preparing the list the teachers also incorporate suggestions from the students. Similarly, the Computer Cell of the College also by updating its various programmes ensures quality enhancement. 6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, give details enumerating its impact.  Workshops and training programmes have been organised in the College for the office staff. The IQAC has taken initiative under the Office Development Programme to impart computer training to the staff.

If ‘yes’, how are the outcomes used to improve the institutional activities?  Gauhati University being the affiliating University has developed a mechanism for the academic audit of the College. Inspections are carried out by experts who evaluate and review aspects like results, the examination process and infrastructure for certain courses. This team of experts gives its recommendations and suggestions for changes and development wherever required.  Similarly the office of the Directorate of Higher Education employs the Inspector of Colleges who makes periodical visits to the College to take stock of the academic functioning. The College also submits its Annual Report to this office along with the Self-Appraisal Report of all faculty members.  Within the College the IQAC reviews and evaluates the academic activities of the current year. It devises plans for further improvement of the teaching-learning process. It monitors the tutorial classes taken by faculty members. It initiates the preparation of the Annual Self Appraisal Report of individual faculty members for submission to the Principal and the DHE.  Every department conducts its own internal audit at the monthly DAC meetings where progress of the syllabus is monitored by the HoD. The results, attendance and performance of the students in class are analysed by the faculty members and methods and strategies are devised to improve the same wherever necessary.

6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the requirements of the relevant external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities? The external regulatory authorities frame the structure under which the College works which in the final count ensures a system which is conducive to quality assurance:  As mentioned earlier the College is affiliated to the Gauhati University which frames the academic parameters that the College must adhere to. The University designs the Academic Calendar based on which the College arranges its schedule for all activities. The University also sets the Rules and Regulations for the Semester Based Degree Courses to which the College carefully complies. The schedule for examination and evaluation are also as per the instructions from Gauhati University.  The College complies with all the guidelines framed by the UGC for quality assurance and for maintaining high standard in the teaching-learning process. The College also follows the instructions issued by the DHE which is a regulatory authority, to ensure improvement and maintenance of both academic and administrative quality.  The College is also guided by the parameters suggested by NAAC and implements schemes and plans as per its requirements. 6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review the teaching learning process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of operations and outcome?  Teaching Plan and Execution Report of the Teaching Plan is prepared by each faculty member on a format developed by the IQAC. The Teaching Plan helps the faculty members towards timely course completion as it is a methodical plan which is made keeping in mind the academic calendar, class time-table and the content to be taught as well as the inclusion of the scope for revision. The progress made as planned out in the Teaching Plan is recorded on a daily basis in the Execution Report/Class Diary and can be monitored by the authority as and when required. The time frame schedule is rarely missed by the faculty members but if it ever so happens, the HoD monitors the arrangement of extra classes.  The practice of involving students in Interactive Sessions of different natures is another method which keeps the faculty members abreast of the status of the progress made by the students. Questions, quiz, class and department seminars and discussions lead towards achieving a clearer picture of academic development of the students. Academic counselling is provided to the slow learners or those who request for it.  The DAC consisting of the faculty members of the individual departments also reviews the teaching-learning process on a regular basis. The HoD monitors the progress of the course allotment of the faculty members for each class and the performance of the students is analysed. Tutorial classes are arranged and strategies for improvement of students’ performance are discussed. The areas which need special attention are also determined.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 194

 Various evaluation processes such as assignments, scheduled as well as sudden class tests, and Internal Assessments are all mechanisms geared towards enabling the faculty members to assess the progress and performance of the students. The students are informed about the marks secured by them which help them to take corrective measures to improve their performance in the final examinations. The faculty members are able to exactly pin-point individual student’s weaknesses through such tests and accordingly guide and advise.  The Principal holds meetings with the HoDs to undertake a review of the academic performance of all the departments. A thorough analysis of students’ results is carried out. He recommends and suggests various measures to further improve the same.  Students’ feedback organised by the IQAC is a powerful mechanism which provides the faculty member an idea about the areas which need improvement on the teacher’s part. The feedback process observes the rule of secrecy for the benefit of the students. The Principal individually informs each faculty members about the result of the feedback which helps the faculty members in self analysis and thereby contribute in a more fruitful way in the teaching-learning process.  Guardians–Teachers Meetings also serve as review grounds. The parents are handed feedback of their wards. Their performance and attendances are discussed. This interaction almost always achieves positive results as parents also tend to become more involved with their ward’s academic activities.  The College also has a Committee for Remedial Classes for coaching the students belonging to OBC, SC, ST and minority communities. Special remedial classes are arranged for them and guidance is provided with a focus on their needs.  Departments arrange Guest Lectures and Popular Talks by inviting academicians from higher academic fields for the motivation of the students and to sensitise them towards recent trends in the frontier areas of the concern subjects. (Annexure V: Teaching Plan and Class Diary) 6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders? The details about quality assurance policies and associated mechanisms are notified to the stakeholders through various methods:  The College Prospectus which is updated each year is an important tool for vital information about quality assurance policies. All students and guardians have ready access to it as it is handed to the students even before the beginning of the admission process.  The official website of the College is another medium for disbursing such information.  Faculty members of all departments communicate to the students the policies of the College at the beginning of the academic session and whenever required. The College as well as the Department Notice Boards serve to carry information to students.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 195

 The Guardians-Teachers Meeting proves useful in communicating the details about the progress of students.  The Principal holds Staff Council meetings at the beginning of the new session where he conveys in detail the plans and policies that the College will undertake to ensure quality. The implementation and follow up of these plans is also communicated to faculty members towards the end of the session.  The quality assurance strategies are conveyed to the representatives nominated by the University, Government and from amongst the guardians to the Governing Body at its meetings.  The College submits the AQAR to NAAC which is a self reviewed progress report.  The Annual Report and the Teachers Appraisal Reports are sent to the affiliating University as well as the Office of the Director of Higher Education, Govt. of Assam, for communicating the quality measures of the College.  The annual publication the College newsletter ‘Vision’ also informs all its stakeholders of quality enhancing techniques employed by the College.  Reports of activities are also are also sometimes published in newspapers to inform the masses.

CRITERION VII INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES 7.1 Environment Consciousness 7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? The College makes a conscious effort to develop eco-friendly atmosphere though it does not have the provision of green audit. 7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the College to make the campus eco- friendly? Energy Conservation  For low consumption of power the College uses CFL, LED and tube bulbs in the office, class rooms, toilets and hostels.  In the class rooms and other places, whenever it is not in use, staff members strictly follow the instruction of the College authority and switch off the electrical appliances.  All the class rooms have glass windows to ensure natural light and ventilation. Use of renewable energy A detailed proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Non-renewable Energy, Government of India for installation of solar energy system in the campus so that self sufficiency in energy consumption can be achieved. Rain Water Harvesting  At present the College has no provision for rain water harvesting; however, it is likely to be implemented in the near future. Check Dam Construction  The College was established in 1958 in Sarabbhati, which was then a low lying fringe area in Guwahati. The College buildings were constructed by filling up the marshy land at that time. Over the years the city has expanded length and breadth transforming the area into a throbbing business hub and residential location. The arbitrarily constructed buildings around the College with raised ground level, created the problem of water logging in the College campus. As a result, the College witnessed several artificial floods leading to disruption of classes during the rainy season. To solve the chronic problem, the College has constructed a multipurpose drain to regulate the flood water in the College. The drain has helped in controlling the erosion of surface soil and has maintained the fertility of the soil. The drain has been covered by concrete slabs which are used as pavement. Efforts for Carbon Neutrality  Solid Waste Management programme has been adopted to segregate degradable and non- degradable waste by using coloured coded dustbins.

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 197

 Every month, the first working day is observed as No Vehicle (auto mobile) Day to reduce Carbon emission.  Plantation programmes are organised from time to time by different clubs and cells. Every year World Environment Day is observed with a day long programme to generate environment awareness among the students.  Students are asked to submit hand written assignments to reduce carbon use. Plantation  Despite, the space constraints in the main academic campus the College has planted a variety of trees in an attempt to enhance the green environment of the College. The flowering trees also add to the beauty of the campus.  As a part of beautification of the College campus, the College has undertaken gardening activities every year at the initiative of the Campus Development Committee of the College.  The botanical garden of the College in the boys’ hostel campus is maintained by the Department of Botany.  Plantation drives are carried out in the College campus as well as in hostel campuses from time to time. th  The Eco Club celebrates the World Environment Day every year on the 5 of June. Special plantation programme is organised to mark the occasion. Hazardous Waste Management and e-Waste Management All the hazardous and non degradable waste (minimal in volume) of the College and the hostel are disposed off in an appropriate manner. Integrating Environment Learning  Seminars on environmental awareness has been organised by the College at various levels.  The University has made Environmental Studies a compulsory subject for all the streams in the undergraduate level. In compliance with the University regulation the College has set up an Environmental Studies Cell (EVS). It is an integrated cell comprised by the Departments of Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Geology and Geography. A Nodal teacher is appointed by the authority to monitor the proper functioning of the cell. The chief objective of the cell is to impart basic environmental knowledge through regular classes and field visits.  In order to sensitise the students, permanent boards focusing on environmental issues are displayed.  All the planted plants in the campus are scientifically identified and nomenclatured under the supervision of the Department of Botany.  The Departments of Zoology and Geology conducted a project on Waste Management in the Guwahati City involving the T.D.C. 3rd year students to appraise the public on segregation of dry and wet waste and their disposal. With regard to Solid Waste Management public awareness drive, talk in schools with eminent resource persons and distribution of dustbins has been initiated.

3. Context North East India is rich in its diverse cultural heritage. The ethnic diversity of the NE region is also reflected in the heterogeneous composition of the students of the College. The College attracts students from across the state and also from remote corners of the whole north eastern region. Thus, pluralism and diversity becomes the hallmark of the College. In the face of such diversity, the College encourages the spirit of unity in diversity among the students. 4. The Practice The College organises various cultural programmes and workshops where students and teachers participate wholeheartedly. Eminent artistes and scholars working on culture are invited to enlighten our students and teachers. A few among them are Sitarani Hazarika, Sharodi Saikia, Dr. Mirnanda Barthakur, Dr. Mallika Kandali, Satradhikar Nani Gopal Deva Goswami and Satradhikar Brindaban Goswami. Besides, the students and teachers engage in various informal discussions on socio-cultural issues from time to time. Programmes like dancing, singing, recitation etc. are held whenever possible to exhibit their cultural skills and to enhance consciousness. The objective behind such practises is the realisation of the fact that culture plays a determinant role in social formation. 5. Evidence of Success The College celebrates the death anniversary of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. The first death anniversary was celebrated on 05-11-13. It was a grand success where both teachers and students actively participated and performed various programmes. It is to be noted that the non teaching staff also staged a drama based on the creations of Dr. Hazarika. Dr. Hazarika always promoted pluralism and humanism in his cultural productions. He himself sang in different languages- Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, Bodo etc. His creativity reflects his firm faith in the plural culture of North East India. In an attempt to promote his philosophy amongst students, the Arya Vidyapeeth College Teachers’ Unit organised a lecture cum cultural event to mark his death anniversary. Dr. Archana Pujari, Department of Assamese, Arya Vidyapeeth College delivered an enlightening talk on the life and contributions of the bard. The performance by students and teachers was a beautiful kaleidoscope of communal harmony.

 The students with the help from both teaching and non-teaching staff successfully staged a dance drama Bhaona, Ravan Badh in the Boys’ Hostel campus on 14-02-15. This performance was not confined only to the College fraternity, but was open to all. People of the neighbourhood also came to enjoy the Bhaona and appreciated the role of the College. The historical roots of Bhaona dates back to the 15th century pan Indian Bhakti Movement. To popularise the Bhakti tradition amongst the common masses of Assam Sankardeva innovated indigenous mechanisms like the Bargeet and Bhaona. The Bhaona is a dance drama based on both ancient Indian dramatic traditions and indigenous popular culture. Bhaona reflects the rich cultural heritage of Assam. It is a synthesis of dance, drama, songs and music. The themes are mostly based on Ramayana and Mahabharata. The whole programme got extensive media coverage and it has been recorded.

Photos of students performing Bhaona  The College encouraged the students in forming a cultural organisation named Sanskriti. It is basically involved in regenerating the indigenous culture amongst the students of various institutions. Since its birth, Sanskriti has been performing at various cultural programmes in different places. Sanskriti has also taken up the task of community teaching among poor students. It is also worth mentioning that the group is self-sustaining and a section of the resource collected by performing at various events has been donated to an orphanage.  Department of Bengali organises Rabindra Jayanti annually. The celebrations are marked by resourceful talks and cultural performances. The 154th birth

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 203

centenary of Rabindra Nath Tagore was celebrated by the Literary Cell of Arya Vidyapeeth College on 9 May 2015. On this occasion Dr. Mita Chakrovorty, HoD, Department of Bengali, Cotton College delivered a lecture on Tagore’s life and creative writing.  Satradhikar Nani Gopal Deva Goswami delivered a talk on spirituality and on the necessity of meditation in modern day society to curb crime and juvenile delinquency.  A workshop on Satriya Dance was organised by the Womens’ Cell of the College on 26 September 2015. th  The College celebrates Rabha Divas and Shilpi Divas annually. The 46 death anniversary of Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha was observed on 20 June 2015. Dr. J. Bora delivered a speech highlighting Rabha’s life and philosophy. Dr. Leena Deka, HoD, Assamese, MNC College, Nalbari graced the occasion as the chief guest. Dr. Deka in her speech threw light upon Rabha’s personal and creative writing along with his philosophy.

 The death anniversary of Sahityarathi Lakshminath Bezbaruah was observed on 26 March 2014. It was a day long programme in which teachers and students participated with enthusiasm. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required  After the introduction of the semester based curriculum, the students are facing problems of time constraint, as the system requires them to be involved in the continuous evaluation process. As such they have not been able to devote adequate time to cultural activities.  There is no specific fund for such cultural programmes. Thus, the College has to generate funds /resources for its various programmes. While organising Bhaona all the stakeholders of the College voluntarily contributed and created a milestone in the area. 8.Notes (Optional) It may be noted that the NSS wing of the College has an adopted village, Pamuhi in the outskirts of the city. The NSS volunteers annually visit the village and participate in community development work along with the local people. 9.Contact Details Name of the Principal: Dr. Harekrishna Deva Sarmah Name of the Institution: Arya Vidyapeeth College City: Guwahati Pin Code: 781016 Accredited Status: B++ Work Phone: 03612474065 Website: www.avcollege.ac.in Mobile: 09435319485

Chapter-IV

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES Arya Vidyapeeth College, situated in the heart of Guwahati city, is one of the premiere institutions of higher education not only in Assam but the whole North East India. The College was accreditated for the first time in 2004 and was awarded B++ grade. This grade was accompanied by some suggestions and recommendations that the Peer Team forwarded for the future improvement of the College. In the years following the first accreditation, the College has been trying to work upon these suggestions and recommendations in earnest. Among the various initiatives that were taken up, many have been successfully achieved while some are in the process. As per the recommendations of the Peer Team several add-on courses have been introduced in the College. Notable among these are - Foundation Course in Human Rights (2005), Computer courses which were introduced in the College in 2003 and subsequently enriched with several additional diploma and certificate courses and Courses in Bioinformatics (2009). The latest additions to this list of self funding courses are the Undergraduate level B.Com course and Post Graduate course in Chemistry (2015). The College took a novel step when it collaborated with the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in 2008 and opened a study centre in the College campus under the IGNOU Convergence scheme which was upgraded to a full-fledged IGNOU Centre in 2010. The Centre has been providing various Diplomas, Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses. The conducive academic atmosphere of the College has been a great motivation for the faculty members to inculcate a research culture in the College. As against only 02 faculty members who were Ph. D guides in 2004, today the College has 13 faculty members working as Ph.D/M.Phil guides under whom 04 M.Phil and 14 Ph. D scholars have already been awarded their degrees. Moreover, currently 42 numbers of scholars are pursuing their Ph. D work under these guides across various departments. It is a matter of great pride that the number of Major Research Projects as well as Minor Research Projects being carried out by the faculty members has considerably increased particularly in the last five years. In fact, during this time period, 02 nos of Major Research Project and 27 nos of Minor Research Projects have been completed while 06 nos of Major Research Projects and 08 nos of Minor Research Projects are currently being carried out. Another day of great pride for the College was when Dr. Saibal Sengupta, faculty of this College and renowned herpetologist of the country received the unique recognition of a frog species being named after him as Fezervarya sengupti. The academic status of the College received an encouraging boost when the Biotech Hub was launched under DBT in 2009. On account of its excellent performance since its inception the Biotech Hub of this College has been appreciated with the comment of “very good” by DBT, Government of India twice consecutively in 2014 and 2015. (Arya Vidyapeeth College is the only

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 206

College to have received the comment of “VERY GOOD” FROM DBT, Government of India among all the Institutional Biotech Hubs of North Eastern Region). The infrastructure facilities of a College play an important role in its academic as well as general development. In the last ten years this College has also tried to upgrade its infrastructure to fulfill the various needs but it may be mentioned here that this premier institution which was established way back in 1958 has over the years felt the need for renovation and restructuring and as such, the gradual phase wise renovation work of the College has been going on. The available area for new infrastructural constructions being very limited, the old structures are being dismantled and rebuilt. This has been a time consuming process as it requires a lot of planning and preparations regarding the relocation of classes and laboratories. Nevertheless, in spite of being gradual, infrastructural facilities of the College has been steadily developed. Moreover the College has installed a generator for uninterrupted power supply. A detailed account of this infrastructural development is given in chapter 4 (Infrastructure and Learning Resources, 4.1.2). The College, in order to further facilitate boarding for girls, has constructed a new annexture to the Girls hostel with funding from the UGC. Apart from that, the old Girls as well as boys hostels have been renovated with a provision for twenty four hour water supply. The Health Centre of the College, which has been functional since the inception of the College, has now been upgraded to a full-fledged Health Centre with improved facilities. Apart from the students, this centre has been catering to the needs of the local community also. Response to Peer Team suggestions  As suggested by the Peer Team, a Language Laboratory was established under the CPE Scheme of UGC in the year 2010 with the joint coordination of the Departments of English, Assamese, Bengali and Hindi.  As per the recommendation of the Peer Team, maximum number of the faculty of the College are currently associated with various societies and organizations at the regional, national and even international level. This association has been reflected in point no. 21 of the Evaluative Report.  The College encourages utilising the expertise of the staff for consultancy services. A few teachers are involved in providing consultancy services to individual and Government/Non-Government Agencies. In such cases Special leave is also granted to the faculty members as and when required.  Regarding the career/utility and add-on courses it has already been mentioned above.  To achieve Computer literacy in the College, a Computer Cell, was established in collaboration with Tata Infotech Limited in 2003, and it was later upgraded to an independent Computer Centre of the College.This Computer Cell has 15 numbers of computers today with internet facility which can be accessed by students and faculty members alike during the College hours. The Centre is also running various Computer Courses. Apart from these, there are 06 numbers of Computer Laboratories in the College attached with 06 departments of the

Self Study Report Arya Vidyapeeth College Page 207

Science stream. Moreover, all the departments in the College also have their own Computers. For more details, reference may be made to point no.4.3.1  As per the recommendations of the Peer Team, the computerisation of the College Library is being done. (For details reference may be made to point no. 4.2.1 to 4.2.9.) As far as the office is concerned, Computer application has been introduced for the major part of office work.  As per the Peer Team recommendation, a gymnasium hall has been provided for the students. A yoga centre is also there in the College and yoga classes are conducted in the College auditorium in the early morning.  The Peer Team had suggested that Post Graduate Courses may be started in the Departments of Geography and Zoology. In fact, the College plans to introduce P.G Courses in all the departments but the biggest hurdle here is the availability of infrastructure facility. Nevertheless, it can be mentioned that self-financing P.G Course has been introduce in the department of Chemistry. And a full- fledged self- financing B.Com Course has also been started in the Undergraduate level.  On the recommendation of the Peer Team various add on courses have already been introduced in the College like Bioinformatics and Human Rights, both self financing. The Biotech Hub has also been opened with funding from the DBT. (For details in this regard, reference may be made to point no. 1.1.7 and 2.4.2).Although it is desired that many more courses are introduced in the College, once again we face the constraints of space and infrastructure.  As per the recommendation of the Peer Team, a Women’s Cell had been opened in the College in 2013 and this cell has been regularly carrying on various activities and programmes focusing mainly on sensitisation of gender equality.(For details, reference may be made to the Report of the Women Cell in the SSR).  Following up on the recommendations of the Peer Team the activities of the Career Counselling and Entrepreneurship Development Cells have been enhanced with various regular activities like recruitment drives, workshops and awareness lectures for the students.  The Peer Team suggestion regarding the Hostel boundary walls have been taken up seriously. Though the Girls Hostel boundary wall piling process has already been done, due to some unexpected situations it will take a little longer than the time stipulated. Moreover, to provide more boarding facilities to the girl students a new annexture is added to the Girls Hostel.  As was suggested by the Peer Team, the College playground, which at one point of time was unusable due to the problem of water-logging, had been taken up for development in earnest by the College authority. In fact the MPLAD fund has been availed twice with sanction of Rs.10 Lakhs each time for-(i) development of the field/wall and (ii) Construction of a pavilion, which is under process. Apart from this, a fund of Rs.15 Lakhs was also availed from the Deputy Commissioner’s (Kamrup Metro) untied fund for filling up of the playground. Again, the Alumni of the College has come forward to help construct the front wall of the playground by contributing for a portion each.

 As for the Peer Team suggestion regarding subscription of journals in the Central Library, quite a collection of journals already exists. Today the use of online facilities like INFLIB-NLIST has brought down the need of subscription to a large extent. Moreover, most of the departments in the College in their libraries subscribe to journals and magazines as per requirement. As for the suggestion about improvement of the reading room, it may be mentioned that the extension of the existing Central Library is already under process. An important up- gradation work in the Central Library is the computerisation of its catalogue with KOHA software.  Following up on the recommendation of the Peer Team, the IQAC was established in the College in 2005.

(ISR) and Extension activities 35 SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans: Strength  Efficient faculties  Library equipped with syllabus and reference books  Energetic and co-operative students Weakness  Lack of separate class rooms for Major students  Students in the Arts Stream lack knowledge of Mathematics which are normally used in Economics and hence it becomes difficult to minimize numbers of drop outs  Lack of facilities of Study rooms, computer with internet facilities for the students. Opportunities  Department is capable to undertake interdisciplinary courses and PG courses if proper infra structure is provided Challenges  Number of Pass course students are decreasing year by year. The reason may be that they find HS syllabus Hard and students find the subject difficult due to lack of coordination among school level and college level courses. Future Plans 1. To start Post Graduate classes in the Department in recent future to help students to pursue their dreams for higher studies. 2. To hold National and International seminars. The DAC of the department has decided to hold a UGC sponsored national seminar in 2016-17. 3. To undertake social responsibility like community awareness on cooperative entrepreneurship, Swchchhata and small savings. 4. To conduct educational tours from the department to acquaint students with the development of other parts of the country and also help them to make comparative study of Regional Development.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength  Strength of our department is the result of the students. Also Department of Education is accredited as (star department) by UGC.  A well-stocked Departmental library contributes towards the enrichment of the teaching –learning process.  Regular departmental meetings are held to discuss departmental policies.  Adequate student strength in Major and General Course  Co-ordial relation between teacher and the taught. Weakness  Weakness is the poor infrastructural facility of the department, without having a separate lab and there is no departmental laboratory bearer for practical.  Existing facilities of the laboratory cannot support the needs of students at par with the quality of higher education of other institution.  Space constraint is the biggest problem faced by Deptt. at present. Opportunities  Opportunity is there in our department because faculty members are very hard working, co-operative with students which can bring better name to the department.  There is dearth of opportunities to perform extension activities effectively.  Students studying education get better knowledge about life skill education and Child Care & Development. Challenges  Threat is such that if aspiring students do not come to take up major due to poor infrastructural facility of the department.  Another challenge of the department is to increase the number of quality students securing high grade points. Future plans  To organize interactive session with eminent educationist from different field.  Remedial classes will be organized only for Major students.  For sixth semester major students, guidance and counseling course will be provided.  Awareness programme will be organized in the neighbouring area.

2015 Participation in Yoga Practice Session by Major students and faculty members organized by NCC. 35 SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength  Continuous and increasing demand for the subject every year.  In spite of shortage of staff the faculty takes enough initiative to manage the classes of the department and ensures a satisfactory pass percentage.  Communication and group discussion activities are conducted regularly for B.Sc. students to strengthen their public speaking abilities and train them for facing interviews.  The Department maintains an atmosphere of discipline, conducive to learning.  The Department is endowed with a dedicated set of faculty members who constantly engage in counseling, guiding and mentoring the students for both academic and other activities. The individual needs of Major students are addressed by providing academic, personal and career counseling.  Students are encouraged to hone their writing and research skills by participating in student seminars and contributing actively to the department Wall Magazine. These efforts have borne fruit as students have participated in inter-college students’ seminars and made the department proud by winning the first prize in the annual Wall Magazine competition for the last three years and the second prize in the current session.  Numerous extension activities having a diversity of relevance for the students have been undertaken in the last few years.  Research projects funded by the UGC have been carried out by faculty members.  One member of the department is involved in open and distance learning for PG teaching in English in various capacities. Weakness  Shortage of teaching faculty and space.  Disproportionate teacher-student ratio.  Inadequate facilities for research activities.  Being a Department which bears the burden of catering to the largest number of students in the College it is not possible for faculty members to engage in research activities to the desired level due to shortage of time and a hectic schedule. Opportunities  Inter-disciplinary relevance of the subject and therefore bright career prospects for students in various fields.  Enhancing communicative skills. Challenges  Acquainting the Major students with a completely new area for which the Higher Secondary syllabus does not prepare the base.  To develop the language skills of the students especially those coming from the vernacular medium schools.

 The needs of the Major students often cannot be met due to an extensive and exhaustive syllabus in the Major course designed by the affiliating university, and which demands completion in a short time. Future Plans  Holding a drama workshop for the Major students.  Holding a creative writing workshop for the Major students.  To start a course on Spoken English  To bring more research projects in the Department.  To organize National and State level seminars.  To undertake more publication by teachers at International and National levels.

The Department is involved in all the programmes. 35 SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength  The faculty members work hard to help students achieve their desired goals.  To maintain the legacy of the department relentless efforts are made.  Alumni of the Department are well placed and spread across various parts of the country.  The zeal to carry out research related activities are there within the faculty members. Weakness  The Department has less space. Infrastructural facilities needs to be enhanced like thin section cutter, image analyzer, imageries etc. Opportunities  Opportunities are many in terms of receipt of grants to enhance the infrastructural facilities, organize seminars, workshops for both teachers and students. For a department which has completed fifty years of existence such steps are achievable. Challenges  Lack of infrastructural facilities. Semester system has reduced the span of academic interaction time with students with Geology being a new subject for the students. Less number of teachers. Future Plan  To open up PG courses in Geology  To develop a good research Centre  Work hard relentlessly to create future geoscientists of the Nation as well as good human beings.  To maintain close relationship with alumni.
