We are highly thankful to the NAAC because the assessment of performance is very essential. To apply for the Re-Accreditation (Cycle II) for further quality sustenance, enhancement and improvement of College, NAAC gives us a chance to judge “How we see ourselves”, To improve quality, one must have a system and a parameter to improve it and gauge it. Thus Assessment and Accreditation becomes necessary to access how academic peers judge us, delving deep into our strengths and weaknesses and indirectly giving us the direction for further progress and development. The NAAC Committee, I hope, will measure us by what we have achieved and what we should have achieved with our ability and capacity. This report is the outcome of almost efforts of all those who are connected with the college in one way or the other. By the humble submission, we present ourselves for quality inspection to serve better in future. We are eagerly looking forward of hearing soon from you on your decision on Peer Team visit for inspection.

Jaswinder Kaur Co-ordinator Steering Committee viii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The sapling of Lyallpur Khalsa College for Women was sown in 1958 as a girls section of Boys College and in 1960 as separate college with the objective of giving education to women particularly to cater to the needs of rural as well urban belt of this area of Jalandhar. During those days there were only two women institutions in this region, one on Amritsar Road (HMV) and the other in the industrial area leading towards Pathankot Road (KMV); In fifties both these colleges were in outskirts and for girl students the only alternative was hostel, which was quite expensive. To take advantage of the Bus Stand as well as the Railway Station management of the college decided to establish the girls section. It has now bloomed into a full fledged, independent college. The college turned out to be a holy shrine for the rural and semiurban girls of Jalandhar, Kapurthala and Phagwara. The girls flocked to the institution. With the efforts of Late S. Swaran Singh a towering personality of post Independent India, a railway station, Lyallpur Khalsa College halt was established to facilitate the access of the students to the college. The college was affiliated only for the Humanities group up to graduation level at that time. With the deep founded vision and missionary efforts and dedication of the Principal and the staff within a few years, the college made its mark in the academic, cultural and sports folio of the university and the state. After a lot of efforts and struggle the institution has come up with an excellent infrastructure, and state of art facility. Today the college has a beautiful campus, consisting of 45 class rooms, 14 different laboratories, Administrative block, 2 auditoriums, and 3 seminar halls, hostel for about 250 resident students as well as accommodation facility for the staff also. Now to cope with the new trends in the field of education; professional, vocational, post graduation course and diplomas have been added in the curriculum of the college. All the programmes introduced after 1978 are in the self financing mode. The college has grown to be multi faculty, post graduate institution. The college aims at building not only a palatial building but also building human minds especially to strengthen the women empowerment which will provide shape to the modern and future’s nation. Its purpose is to inculcate the ideas of true womanhood, modesty, chastity and spiritual values among the young girls. In this age when decadence of moral values is rampant in all walks of life, it strives to cultivate in the hearts of the young students real ethical values, Absolute Truth, Absolute Beauty and Absolute Goodness. We try to revitalize the spirit of patriotism that has received a setback. Above all, the institution aspires to teach the students to follow the foot prints and to keep up the legacy left behind by the great Indian women in the form of tradition so that the moral and cultural grandeur of past can flow into present. The college is doing its utmost to keep our inheritance and culture alive through our young girls whom it wants to endow with the qualities of head, heart and mind so that they may serve not only the Motherland but the world at large as enlightened citizens. As quest for excellence grew stronger and perceptions underwent a change, the pace of growth became all the more vigorous in the last decade. It is reflected in each and every sphere of the institution.
