DATTAJIRAO KADAM ARTS, SCIENCE AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, ICHALKARANJI SELF-STUDY REPORT: 3rd CYCLE OF ACCREDITATION 1. Preface Dattajirao Kadam Arts,Science and Commerce College Ichalkaranji was assessed and accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangaluru in February 2004 and awarded ‗B‘ Grade On 16 th February 2004 .The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established on the recommendations of the Peer Team for enhancing the quality of academics in the college. On 8th January 2011, the college was assessed and accredited for its second cycle by NAAC, Bangaluru and awarded ‗B‘ Grade to the college with CGPA 2.89. The college offers professional and basic programmes with wide academic flexibility from undergraduate to research level in Arts Science and Commerce faculties. All the programmes are directed towards realization of our Mission and achieving our objectives, in keeping with the values of Shri Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha Kolhapur, as propounded by its founders. The college is one of the old and multi Faculty College among the colleges affiliated to Shivaji University Kolhapur. During the past few years, PTR recommendations were attended to and the college has made tireless efforts to comply with those recommendations and in addition, more efforts have been taken in that regard. The PTR allowed the college to introspect and improve on quality parameters. A more functional IQAC with defined roles and responsibilities was a major initiative taken by the college. Majority of the teachers were involved in preparing the SSR along with the IQAC. Introspections and discussions amongst teachers have helped in preparing a precise Self Study Report (SSR). The college has witnessed many changes during the last five years. Some experienced teachers retired and the next generation of teachers have taken over the responsibility of carrying forward the tradition and legacy of the college. Some new academic programmes like B.Sc. Computer Science, M.Sc. Botany, and Computer based textile design under Community college scheme and few career oriented courses were initiated and are being conducted successfully. This has also given an opportunity to invite and interact with experts from various fields who shared their knowledge and helped in expanding our academic horizons and enhancing the overall quality of teaching-learning. Resource mobilization from various funding agencies was taken up as a major strategy to improve the infrastructure, augment teaching-learning facilities and to make learning more ‗student centric‘. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell and Research Promotion Cell of the college motivated and assisted teachers to march towards excellence by redefining the teaching-learning process and to undertake research activities. The research endeavors have been geared up in the last five years with increased participation of students and teachers in research with substantial number of minor research projects being funded by U.G.C. The N.S.S. programmes have sensitised students and prov ided opportunities for experiential learning and provided opportunities for participation in social service. On the administrative front, the office DATTAJIRAO KADAM ARTS, SCIENCE AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, ICHALKARANJI 1 SELF-STUDY REPORT: 3rd CYCLE OF ACCREDITATION is computerized by installing Master‘s software. The infrastructure is augmented by constructing new B.C.A. building, toilet blocks for women staff and students and paving the open space. A Language laboratory has been set up for enhancing communication skills and is being utilized by language departments. IT infrastructure is being continually improved, with data connectivity available all around the campus. All the departments are connected with internet through BSNL broad band system with 08 mbpsspeed. However, the commitment to quality education and the urge for self improvement remain the same. The preparation of SSR involved a new team and they have taken efforts to prepare the SSR. The SSR consists of composition of steering committee, Preface, Executive Summary and SWOC of the institution, Profile of the college, Criterion- wise inputs, Evaluative Reports of the Departments and Post Accreditation Initiatives. The SSR has been shared with teachers, students and the Management at every stage of its preparation and finalization. I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to each and every individual colleague for their valuable contribution in preparing the SSR. I express my deep sense of gratitude to Prin.Abhaykumar Salunkhe Executive Chairman of Shri Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha Kolhapur for his undaunted support in all the endeavours of the college.Sou.Shubhangi Gawade Secretary, Shri Swami Vivekanand Shikshan
