Mallamma who had sacrificed her entire fortune to continue the good work initiated by her husband Sri. Gurikar Marimallappa. Today, the heritage building that houses higher primary, high school and pre-university college stands testimony to Smt. Mallamma’s efforts to fulfill her husband’s ardent wish to provide education to the poor and the needy. Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College is the brainchild of Sri. K.N.

2.2 Catering to Students Diversity :

2.2.2. Does the institution assess the student’s need in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process. Student requirements are assessed during Orientation programme.

Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 59 Self Study Report (II Cycle)
2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge / Remedial / Add-on / Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? Bridge Courses are conducted at the beginning of the academic year to help students cope with the enhanced levels of knowledge. Special/remedial classes are conducted for those who have difficulty in comprehending the syllabus or those who cannot easily cope with the prescribed curriculum. Subject related special lecture programmes, lecture demonstrations, soft skills and communication skills training are given to students so that they become adept at learning. Slow learners are given more attention and time by individual teachers. Efforts are made by the teaching faculty to bridge the gap between below average, average and above average students.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.? As the college is a women’s educational centre where girls come from various social setups - a majority of them hailing from rural pockets awareness of gender issues become imperative.

The Anti-sexual Harassment Cell does its bit in raising awareness on patriarchal domination, the need to be assertive when women’s rights are jeopardized and be sensitive to unwanted ‘Male Gaze and Touch’. The Counselling Cell also sensitizes students on gender issues. The Institution has always believed in the social inclusion policy. Consequently, girls from socially and economically backward sections and from the lower rungs of society are given preference in the admission process.
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 60 Self Study Report (II Cycle)
Environmental preservation and protection are issues of global concern. Students are made to recognize the significance of environmental issues through programmes conducted by the ‘Nature Club’ of the college and through NSS activities.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational / learning needs of advanced learners? Catering to the needs of advanced learners is as challenging as taking care of slow learners. The constant thirst for knowledge, the instinct to experiment, the zest to learn new things are satisfied by giving such learners more difficult academic tasks to perform. Their restless energy is channelized by giving them team leadership, encouraging them to conduct surveys, make paper presentations, entrusting the responsibility of guiding the average or below average learners. Library resources are at their disposal. They are encouraged to access the internet for advanced information, participate in inter collegiate events and competitions to realize their potential. As advanced learners constantly test the knowledge quotient of the teachers, the latter are kept on the toes to be one step ahead. Hence teaching such students is demanding as well as satisfying.
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)? The drop-out in our college is mainly due to two reasons : 1) Some students leave the college to pursue teacher’s training course or professional courses such as CA/CS/ICWA.
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 61 Self Study Report (II Cycle)
2) Matrimony is another major reason for drop-out. 3) Due to parental pressure. As most of the girls pursuing B.A. programme are from rural areas, their parents are keen on getting their wards married as soon as they attain majority. Hence, parents are often counselled to allow their daughters to complete their degree before they are married off. In cases wherein students are unable to afford the cost of education, teachers support them by part payment or full payment of fees. If the students are unable to cope with the curriculum and are tempted to leave the course, such students are counselled to continue with special academic support from teachers.
2.3. Teaching-Learning Process :
2.3.1. How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.) The teaching–learning evaluation schedules are in compliance with the Mysore University academic schedule. The re-opening and closure of semesters, conducting of exams and evaluation are all determined by the University. However, the college prepares a calendar of events giving details of academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Ø The Principal convenes a general meeting with teachers of all the departments at the beginning of every semester to discuss the deployment of syllabus. Subsequently, the Heads of the Departments conduct departmental meetings to chalk out details of syllabus and the effective implementation of the same. Ø Lesson plans are prepared by individual teachers and work diaries are maintained.
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 62 Self Study Report (II Cycle)
Ø A committee is designated to prepare the time–table before the commencement of the semester, so that classes begin without any hitch from the day of reopening and run smoothly throughout the semester. Special classes are taken for reasons such as (a) completion of syllabus (b) help slow learners and (c) to compensate for unexpected holidays. Ø Work diaries are maintained by teachers that give details of lesson plans for each month, targets set and targets achieved. Ø Attendance registers are also maintained to instil a sense of discipline among students. Ø Tests and assignments are given periodically to assess the comprehensive ability of students. Ø Projects are assigned to students in each subject. Power point presentations, poster and model presentations, seminars, group tasks are all part of the learning strategy.

CRITERION VI : GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
6.1. Institutional Vision and Leadership :
6.1.1. State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on how the mission statement defines the institution’s distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, institution’s traditions and value orientations, vision for the future, etc.? Our institution staunchly believes that nation building is possible only through empowering women by providing education that sustains universal and eternal values oriented towards unity and integration of people, keeping aside gender, caste and class distinctions.
Mission : Ø To bring the under-privileged, the under-utilized and disadvantaged groups into the main stream. Ø To provide equal opportunities to rural, moffusil and urban students that will not only sustain but also nurture quality education. Ø To organise systematic and quality conscious educational programmes that encourage a holistic approach to life. Our institution is committed to women empowerment through education, especially those who belong to the weaker sections of the society. The mission statement of our college is an emphasis on inclusivity which is reflected in the admission process itself which brings within the academic ambit, eligible students from the marginalised groups facilitating economic and social empowerment. The institution strongly upholds, both in principle and in practice, equity in the provision of opportunities, irrespective of the background from which the students hail. Such opportunities are provided in class room activities, in identifying talents and promoting them, in the
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College, Mysore. 161 Self Study Report (II Cycle) distribution of financial assistances, in providing access to library resources, in training them to develop communication-skills or to make them well versed in computer usage. Auxiliary measures that enhance the quality of the main programme such as special lectures, interaction with experts, guidance from resource persons, personality development, instilling moral values and patriotic spirit, encouraging ethical practices, inculcating a sense of discipline have all contributed to making education in our institution truly holistic.
6.1.2. What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and implementation of its quality policy and plans? The Management believes in social inclusivity and hence its mission to reach out to the deprived and marginalized sections of society by giving due representation to students emerging from such backgrounds has been gaining ground. Today, more number of girls from poor, rural set-ups have been given an opportunity to empower themselves through education in our institution. The Management has provided the infrastructure needed for curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, financial support in the form of scholarships and endowment funds. It also supervises the quality maintenance initiatives undertaken by the college. The Principal’s role is both diverse and challenging as he effectively builds bonds among the various stakeholders and bridges the gaps between different levels of employees in an effort to bring in homogeneity which is very important in any academic ‘ethos’. A consistent approach to quality improvement in areas related to teaching–learning mechanisms, student services ranging from provision of infrastructure facilities to health care, personal counselling, career guidance and placement has been taken by the principal. The faculty in turn have ensured that the seekers of knowledge at this temple of learning get more than what they would have aspired for. Teachers
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College, Mysore. 162 Self Study Report (II Cycle) focus on academic growth, skill development, personality development, gender sensitivity, development of intellectual and cultural abilities, imbibing ethical practices and moral values so that every student becomes a wholesome individual.

The Principal who heads the institution is vested with the responsibility of effective functioning of the entire system and hence his role is multi – dimensional. At the beginning of every academic year, he chalks out an action plan in consultation with the IQAC Co-ordinator and Heads of the Departments for adopting suitable pedagogical strategies and organizing supportive quality enhancement programmes. A Calendar of Events is prepared which gives a broad outline of the academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to be done throughout the year. Committees are formed and the members of these committees are entrusted with the responsibility of organizing and conducting related programmes. The institution deems it important to involve all the stakeholders in the academic process and dessimination of knowledge. Frequent interaction with
Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College, Mysore. 163 Self Study Report (II Cycle) students, Alumni meetings, Parent-teacher Meetings have ensured that the above mentioned objective is fulfilled.
Elected representatives of the classes and office bearers of the Cultural Forum are often consulted and involved in curricular, co-curricular and extra- curricular activities. The stakeholder’s opinions on college development, facilities available and the improvement of the same are collected via feedback.
The teaching and the non – teaching staff who contribute vastly to the development of the college are significant stakeholders and hence are directed by the Principal to ensure the smooth running of the institution machinery by their contributions to curriculum design, teaching and learning process.
The preliminary step in policy making and planning is taken by the Principal in consultation with the Management. Further discussions related to this are held in various meetings involving major stakeholders and the IQAC co-ordinator. Strategy planning is done at the beginning of every academic year and responsibilities are divided among the newly elected members of various committees. Matters concerning infrastructure development are decided by the Management, Principal and Vice-Principal of the college.

The seminal policy of the institution is to promote the academic interest of girl students while endeavouring to broaden the base of rural student’s access to higher education.

Each department prepares its own ‘Action Plan’ that includes work schedules, teaching strategies, a broad outline of special activities to be conducted, all of which come under the purview of the IQAC. The Principal convenes periodic meetings to monitor the academic progress. Teachers have to prepare self – appraisal reports that give information pertaining to targets achieved in respective departments, individual achievements, participation in curriculum designing, participation in seminars, workshops and conferences and contribution to student welfare.

PROFILE The teacher is indeed a disseminator of knowledge who is looked upon with reverence. As he / she grapples with societal expectations on the one hand and the need to constantly upgrade himself in his chosen ‘calling’, there is the daunting task of reaching out to every kind of learner in the class – the slow and the fast; the dull and the bright, the diffident and the overconfident, the disinterested and the indifferent. Today, the teacher’s conventional role as the ‘giver’ of knowledge or being a ‘model speaker’ has changed into that of a ‘facilitator’. The learner is no longer perceived as a passive receiver of knowledge but is expected to discover the different dimensions of learning actively. The Department of English, not only in our college, but elsewhere too faces the challenging task of addressing some major concerns such as the socio-economic background of learners, their motivation to learn the language and availability of learning resources. The fact that English holds the key to jobs in a shrinking global market adds to our responsibility. As the majority of our students come from rural backgrounds, many of them being first generation learners, with little or no knowledge of English, special interest has to be generated so that they can negotiate with the text. We impress upon the learners that language can be learnt only through use and practice. The ‘English Study Circle’ activities encourage students to speak and write in English as much as they can. Language games are introduced in the ‘Bridge Course’ to make learning enjoyable. We insist on students reading not merely the texts but also general books, journals, newspapers and magazines to improve their knowledge of English. It becomes imperative for the students to use library resources such as encyclopedias, dictionaries and reference material for the preparation of assignments and projects.

DEPARTMENT OF SANSKRIT
PROFILE
Sanskrit is the mother of all languages, the most fundamental essence of our nation which binds all Indians together. Most of the gems of our cultural and religious heritage (the Vedas, the Upanisads, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, Subhashitams, the Puranas) originated in this language. Sanskrit is the oldest available preserved language of the present history. Sanskrit was the medium of classical and scientific writings in ancient India and one cannot understand the greatness of India without the knowledge of Sanskrit. As an unimaginable treasure of knowledge is available in Sanskrit language, lot of investigations have been conducted in this regard by both Indian and foreign scholars from early 10th century. With the emergence of information technology in 1980’s it has been proved that popular Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computers ‘. The Sanskrit Department of our college encourages students to join hands to restore the language to its old glory. Students are encouraged to hold group discussions pertaining to the text, so that spoken skills are promoted. Special lectures are also arranged to help the students to understand the language better. The Department was started in 1982. Professor Mariswamy, the then Principal of the college, himself being a Sanskrit scholar, worked hard with dedication to improve the department. Vidushi H.V. Leelambike took over as the Head of the Department of Sanskrit in November, 1987.

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS
PROFILE It is known that the subject Economics is applied not only to a particular field or sector but the different sectors of the entire economy. The scope of Economics has been widening right from ancient economic thought to modern economic ideas of different economists. Nowadays it is indispensable to have knowledge of Economics not only to the students of Economics but also to others of different disciplines, because, the influence of Economics on Political, Social, Cultural, Institutional and Technological growth of a country is unimaginable. Comparatively, in practice, the study of Economics creates more job opportunities in various fields, helps the students to get into self employment and makes them confident to face competitive exams. The Department of Economics has been growing qualitatively in the course of three decades by sending more numbers of students to the realm of higher education. At present there are 266 students and three staff members with wide teaching experience. The Department adopts different methods of teaching to create more interest in the subject by using graphs, charts, pictorial presentations and also to enhance the students involvement in learning. Group discussions, class debates, seminars, quiz, crossword techniques are encouraged. The Department encourages meritorious students by awarding cash prizes and is proud of the fact that, our students not only secured gold medals and cash awards in Economics in the University examinations and also in Post-graduate course in Economics.

Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College, Mysore. 278 Self Study Report (II Cycle)
Opportunities: Ø Geography students can easily clear competitive exams. Ø Students who passed Geography with good marks get chance to move to science related branches like M.Sc, M.Tech and GIS. Ø Geography students can assess Weather Reports and Meteorological aspects and hence render great service. Ø Better opportunity for global placement.
Challenges: Ø It is tough for rural students to understand Geographical terms and technical aspects, hence remedial classes are necessary. Ø Teaching Geography to students who come from Commerce streams or those who have not studied Geography as prime subject in PUC. Ø Students from rural background find it difficult to learn GIS which calls for extra coaching.
Future plans: Ø To determine the locational factors influencing on the establishment of industries and business organizations. Ø To conduct Geographical exhibitions every year. Ø To undertake the survey of ground water level. Ø To conduct seminars or conferences. Ø Awareness programmes Water conservation, social forestry and providing information about bore wells and rain water harvesting to students and rural people. Ø Arranging group discussions on various topics.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
PROFILE The Department of Commerce was established in the year 1982. The number of students admitted to the course then was 66, with one part-time lecturer. In the year 1983, full-time lecturers were employed by the Management and since then the department has paved its way to success in a glorious manner. There has been a steady increase in the number of students, staff and books in the library. Today there are over 6000 books in the library used by 200 students. The department strives to produce excellent results and the students have secured 51 ranks in the last 30 years. The department is working as an embodiment of hope and aspirations. The Commerce Forum too intends to capture and represent the diverse facets of the students. It is said that ‘A Leader is born with the birth of every child’. What is needed is to provide an enriching environment and spring board for their meaningful development. Our department intends to unleash the creative ideas of our students by conducting special lecture programmes, seminars, workshops, co-curricular activities, debates to know recent trends and development in the field. Study circles are formed to inculcate the habit of reading general and subject oriented books. Teachers have contributed significantly in developing and designing the University syllabus for Commerce Course. Some of the faculty members have worked as Board of Examiners and Co-ordinators for B.Com skill development examinations of the University of Mysore. The department has formed a ‘Commerce Forum’, to organize a series of special lectures. The department gets regular feedback from the students and conducts meetings to evaluate student performance and the work done in the department.
