PREFACE The New College was established in 1951 and is affiliated to the University of Madras. Having completed 64 years of imparting quality education, the College has attained the enviable reputation of being one of the premium institutions of higher education in this part of India. The College was founded by the Muslim Educational Association of Southern India(MEASI) with the primary aim of providing higher education to the educationally and socially backward sections in general and the Muslim community in particular. With a humble beginning of 200 students, it has grown to the current combined strength of over 5000 students in the Aided and Self-financed streams. The College was first accredited by NAAC with a B++ in 2005. During the 2nd cycle of accreditation the College was awarded “A” grade with a CGPA of 3.18 in 2010. The UGC conferred Autonomous status to the College in the year 2007. A review of the autonomous status of the College was conducted in 2012 and the status of autonomy was extended for another term. The College has taken all necessary efforts to implement almost all the recommendations of the peer team. The College continues to strive to uphold its vision and mission in its endeavours to provide quality education and in its insistence on personality enrichment leading to an integrated, holistic development of the students. The preparation of the Self-Study Report for the 3rd cycle of Re-accreditation has provided scope for introspection and to analyse the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the College. This report highlights the quality initiatives adopted during the period 2010-15 and is presented objectively in the format prescribed by the NAAC. The experience has enabled us to reflect on the development and the objectives so far achieved and to be achieved further in the years to come. The IQAC of the College is pleased to submit the Self Study Report of the College for the 3rd cycle of Re-accreditation, with a hope of fulfilling its goals and laying emphasis on “Teaching beyond the classroom and beyond the curriculum”. Dr. S. ABDUL MALIQ PRINCIPAL ix A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Muslim Educational Association of Southern India (MEASI), the parent body of The New College was established on 28th November 1901. The aim of MEASI has always been to provide educational opportunity to Muslims in particular and to other communities in general. In lline with the guiding principles of the century-old MEASI “Awake, Arise and Achieve”, the parent body has been playing a vital role in fostering the educational interest of the Muslims in South India ever since its inception. Owing to the dedication and involvement of the management, a series of educational and research institutions have been established with the mission to provide quality education.

Hyder Ali (1721 – 1782) • Started his career as a soldier in the Mysore Army. • Soon rose to prominence in the army owing to his military skills. • He was made the Dalavayi (commander-in-chief), and later the Chief Minister of the Mysore state under KrishnarajaWodeyar II, ruler of Mysore. • Through his administrative prowess and military skills, he became the de- facto ruler of Mysore with the real king reduced to a titular head only. • He set up a modern army and trained them along European lines.

  • Indian Snakes and Snaky India: British Orientalist Construction of a Snake-Ridden Landscape During the Nineteenth Century
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935), Vol. IX, No. 2, 2017 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v9n2.24 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V9/n2/v9n224.pdf Indian Snakes and Snaky India: British Orientalist Construction of a Snake-Ridden Landscape during the Nineteenth Century Rahul Bhaumik Department of History, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. Email: [email protected] Received May 15, 2017; Revised July 03, 2017; Accepted July 15, 2017; Published August 11, 2017. Abstract This article explores British Orientalist construction of ‘snake-infested’ India focusing on the constitution of Orientalist discourse through the real experience of the colonisers gained in course of their extensive engagement with Indian wilderness while they began to subjugate more and more areas of the subcontinent. The main thrust of this article is to prove that, the Orientalist creation of the inferior image of venomous Indian snakes and the land they dwelled, as reflected in a range of nineteenth-century colonial literature, was definitely not a product fashioned through the Western interpretation of classical Indian texts; rather, this Orientalist understanding was inevitably fostered through the visible reality of livelihood in India and influenced by a traditional Christian sense of animosity towards snakes. This article, therefore, is a critique of the argument that scholastic construction of Orientalism derived only from the Western interpretation of scriptural accounts of the East. Keywords: Indian Snakes, British Orientalism, Wild Orient, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Satan. 1. Introduction This is an article about the British colonial encounter and Orientalist engagement with venomous Indian snakes and the land they inhabited.

    ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS DEPARTMENT POLICY NOTE DEMAND No. 54 FORESTS 2014-2015 M.S.M. ANANDAN MINISTER FOR FORESTS © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 2014 DEMAND No.54 POLICY NOTE 2014-2015 FOREST DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION "kâÚU« k©Q« kiyÍ« mâãH‰ fhL« cilaJ mu©" - ÂU¡FwŸ (742) "A fort is that which owns fount of waters crystal clear, an open space, a hill, and shade of beauteous forest near." - Thirukkural (742) The ancient Tamil poets have emphasized the importance of dense forests, clean water and fertile soil in providing ecological security to the mankind. Forests are a complex eco-system which play a dual role of a renewable resource and also as a vital support base for safeguarding the overall environment and ecological balance. It is forest cover that has preserved the soil and its heavy humus that has acted as a porous reservoir to 1 retain water and is gradually releasing it in a sustained flow over a period of time. Trees draw water from the earth crust and release it to the atmosphere by process of transpiration as a part of water cycle. Trees also purify the air by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere after consuming carbon-di-oxide during photosynthesis. The survival and well-being of any nation depends on sustainable social and economic progress, which satisfies the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of future generation. Spiraling population and increasing industrialization have posed a serious challenge to the preservation of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Overexploitation of our resources due to rapid population growth has lead to degradation of forests and denudation of agricultural lands.

    Editorial Careers and Competition octors have respect in society and earn well. They have long working hours though and a very long preparatory Dperiod. Engineers also have a respectable standing in the society and in the matrimonial market. The workshops are noisy and field work involves exposure to wind, sun, snow and rain. Management graduates earn fabulous salaries. They have challenging roles and are in the line of fire if results don’t match expectations. Show business artists have glamorous lifestyles but spend most of their working time with greasepaint and under arc lights. The civil service enjoys proximity to power. There appear endless career choices and students are naturally indecisive while facing options for courses and colleges after school graduation. Entry to most preferred career choices are competitive and involve two or more phases of education and selection examinations. Entering one’s preferred career calls for preparation and determination. A mismatch can ruin one’s life and happiness, resulting in lack of interest and poor performance in work. It could leave one as a misfit with low opportunities for growth and satisfaction.
