REACCREDITATION REPORT -2014 INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL - BEHALA COLLEGE, WEST BENGAL
Behala College, West Bengal, established in 1963, celebrated its Golden Jubilee last year. The journey in these fifty years was not always a smooth one, but the zeal and fervor among the teachers and staff enabled the college to overcome all hurdles and provide knowledge to students and empower them to face the challenges of life in the coming years. The college was assessed by NAAC in 2005 and obtained Accreditation B +. During the Golden Jubilee Year we resolved that while our past is glorious we cannot afford to look back at our past only and ignore the requirements and expectations of the future that lies ahead.
While admitting the fact that the IQAC remained non-functioning till 2013, we do realize the need for transformation along the lines of Quality Assurance. We pledge to become a thriving organization by providing quality services to our prime stakeholders, the students.
We appreciate that the NAAC Assessment framework readily provides a roadmap for qualitative improvement of the institution and would enable us to make ‘quality to be the defining element” of our existence.
We proceed to make our reaccreditation for two purposes
1. To renew the mark of NAAC re-accreditation for all practical purposes. 2. But there is a holistic purpose as well
We sincerely believe that only through the effective functioning of the IQAC the college can have a long term perspective plan to enrich the college along the lines of Quality Assurance.
In our endeavor towards Quality Initiative we believe
1. Teachers should be the pathfinders 2. Path be defined by stakeholders’ expectations 3. Build our strengths and overcome the weaknesses
We have endeavored to enumerate not only our strengths but also the self introspective understanding of our weaknesses which we need to overcome in the future.
We have also listed the , something which we believe “we can do.”
We expect that whatever be our accreditation – the post accreditation quality assurance initiatives will surely help us to change ourselves.

The college being a government aided institute does not have much opportunity in recruitment and retention of teachers in the institution as the same is guided by the
1) Directorate of Public Instructions, Government of West Bengal – who decides the number of sanctioned posts and also decides the number of net vacancy 2) Department of Backward Classes Welfare Department, Government of India – which decides the category (Gen or Reserved) of faculty to be recruited following the 100 point roaster 3) The West Bengal College Service Commission – which recommends the name of teacher, which the college is required to accept in accordance to West Bengal College Service Commission Act 4) Prior to Aug 2010, the college had the authority of recruiting part time teacher/ contractual teachers (against not filled up vacant sanctioned posts to be paid by college authority). But by an order (dated Aug 2010) of the Govt of West Bengal all part time teachers recruited till then have become Government approved part time teacher/contractual teachers to be paid by the Government.
Page 43
REACCREDITATION REPORT -2014 INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL - BEHALA COLLEGE, WEST BENGAL
As per the clause of the said government order i) Approval of one such government approved part time teacher / contractual teacher against one not filled up vacant sanctioned posts will make the sanctioned post non vacant. The said clause is regressive for the college as one government approved part time teacher is entitled/authorize to take 10 classes in a week as against 24 classes to be taken by a substantive whole time teacher. ii) Furthermore the college is required to make payment of 50 % tuition fees (collected from the students) to the Government of West Bengal so as to enable the Government to pay the salary to the government approved part time teachers. The said clause suggests that Government pays the salary of the government approved part time teacher from earnings of the college. iii) The government approved part time teacher are permanent till the age of sixty and therefore the college does not have any authority to appoint new teacher as long as the government approved part time teachers are in employment. iv) The college however has the option of recruiting and appointing Guest Faculty purely on temporary basis to be paid from college fund.
