NACC-Self Study Report [Pick the date] Weaknesses  Ours is an undergraduate college and does not cater to the demands of those who wish to pursue post graduate degree. Starting a PG degree remains a distant dream with the college owing to the non-filling of posts rendered vacant on account of retirement of a large number of faculties.  The college which is situated in semi –urban area encourages its faculty to pursue R&D. Yet more needs to be done.  Being situated in a semiurban area and not well connected with rail and air link, it fails to attract students from other states to its fold  Imposing auditorium of the college is strength but its non-completion becomes weakness. Still, it is being completed in parts.  Lack of interest on the part of the students to avail themselves the facility of college transport is a big hurdle in the way of augmenting own transport of the college  Common room for Boys‘ is in the Pipeline.  There is a challenge to check the exodus of students to big cities

Mushrooming growth of private educational institutions with less qualified and lesser salaries attract students with nominal fee and are minting money. On the other hand, the College suffers on account of delayed/ non-release of grant. As of now, a sum of Rs 4 crores remain pending as grant to be received from Punjab Government and in the absence of regular inflow of grant, development activities have to be either stalled or delayed. Setting up associate and constituent colleges also affects the strength of adjoining institutions

Opportunities  The college acts as a platform for the academic growth both of its students and faculty  The college magazine offers an opportunity both to students and faculty to get their creative activities published in the same  The college provide a fertile ground for research and development for its faculty.

NACC-Self Study Report [Pick the date] 4) The Practice

Development of core civilizational values of love, peace, tolerance, self- control etal are the basic goals that value based education is aimed at. Value based education teaches the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of mankind, thus minimizing inter-faith violent conflicts arising out of narrow-mindedness. It aims at promoting social cohesiveness with equality for all and also ends discrimination based on caste, colour, creed, religions and language. Value based education has long been a part of Indian education system. The whole emphasis has been on holistic development of students with a view to ensure their perennial happiness. Values are imbibed rather than taught. One has to become role model and living example to inspire the young students. Lives and biographies of great personalities inspire us.

The college prepares its students for challenges of life. They are groomed in a way that they become morally upright and socially responsible on the one hand and professionally competent on the other.

The various programmes and strategies put in place to impart value based education in the college include:

1) Character Building Camps and Hawan Yajnas 2) Jan Chetna Rallies 3) NSS Camps 4) NCC Camps 5) Value-oriented Lectures & Expert Talks 6) Seminars and Workshops 7) Celebrations of National Days 8) Charity Programmes for Society 9) Dharma Shiksha exams 10) Community Services 11) Earn while you learn scheme 12) Inculcating a spirit of volunteerism amongst students.

Besides, above strategies and programmes, the college makes other initiatives to impart value based education to its students. NGOs like Lions‘Club and Bharat Vikas Parishad are roped in for various socially relevant causes that include: tree plantation, water conservation, female feticide, drug abuse, dowry system etc. It also make students aware of the dangers that lie ahead if technology is not handled judiciously.

5) Evidence of Success

Various eminent Alumni stand testimony to the success of value based education being imparted by this college is evidence of success.

6) Problems Encountered and Resources Required The college faces some problems while imparting value based education. However such education needs to be initiated from self with sole motive of 'Be and Make'. Modern tech. savvy students are required to imbibe moral values. Technology distracts them and the value based education becomes a casualty. Modern students are bitten by the bug of consumerism. This has hit them hard with their interest in literature and religion in the downward spiral. In view of the tight teaching schedule it becomes difficult for the faculty to find time during classroom teaching for motivational value based lectures/activities. During interactive sessions, seminars workshops and on all the important college function students are motivated with a positive bent of mind.

The institution depends on grants from various agencies such as DPI/UGC when most of the times grants are delayed financial constraints hamper the efforts to carry out the noble mission of imparting value based education. However, the college continues with the above stated programmes and plans by seeking help from NGOs, philanthropists and such other sources.
