Master Plan of the College ....................................................................... 532 Preface St. Peter’s College Kolenchery, started in the year 1964 is affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University Kottayam. It is an Arts and Science College in the aided sector providing co-education and is managed by St. Peter’s College Trust, a society registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act of 1955. The College was included under section 2 (f) and 12 (b) of UGC Act 1956 in 1985 and accredited at the B+ level by NAAC in 2006. The College which started as a Junior College with five batches of Pre degree students now has become eligible for the status of A grade. It offers thirteen aided and two unaided UG programmes, five aided and one unaided PG programmes in addition to three Research Centres. This proves that the College has achieved tremendous progress in the field of higher education by means of continuous and tireless effort and dedication by the Management and Staff. As the College is situated in a rural area major share of its stakeholders are from economically and socially weaker sections of the society. The fact that more than two thirds of the student community comprises of women makes the institution proud since it is a big step to the much coveted dream of women empowerment, especially among the marginalised communities in the area. The College upholds the spirit of the Nation by opening the doors of admission to PG and UG programmes to the students irrespective of their caste and community. The NAAC team has already visited this institution twice and we are now on the threshold of the third cycle of reaccreditation. The Peer Team underlined their appreciation about the performance of the institution, though it faces several constraints being located in a rural area. We were able to incorporate the suggestions and recommendations made by the Peer Team during their two earlier visits. The College is moving forward with strident steps to realise its vision and mission so that a holistic development is attained to write a new chapter in the overall progress of the nation. Self Evaluative Report For Reaccreditation 1 Executive Summary St. Peter’s College, Kolenchery has been spearheading progress in the field of higher eduction over the last fifty years with a vision to upgrade and uplift the stakeholders of the College and create a new culture and consciousness to contribute to the development of the society. The College follows well defined mission with stated objectives to realise the aims envisioned at the inception of the College. The College is proud to feel that a small village like Kolenchery witnessed an amazing change in the overall progress of the people who are working in different parts of the world getting the benefits of higher education imparted in the College. As a matter of fact the College is ready to accept the changing scenario in the century in terms of the overwhelming progress caused by industrial development and explosion of information. The College dons the role of a key player to enhance and enrich the culture inherited by us. The Peer Team of the NAAC, during their two earlier visits evinced utmost satisfaction in the course of progress and performance the College has achieved with its diligent
