EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Government First Grade College , Bidadi, Ramnagar, has been an important contributor to the development of education for rural poor students with the motive of making them to become productive and responsible global citizens. It had its inception in June, 2007 with a minimal strength of 19 students functioning in the government school campus situated in Bidadi. Since then, the College has undergone a long journey with its own set of impediments and accomplished phenomenal growth. It has, no doubt, become an aam adhmi‘s College to reckon with, GFGC, Ramanagar with a students‘ strength of 192.

In 2012-13 to the present, the College caters to the needs of under-privileged students living in the remote hamlets situated in the nook and corners of Bidadi. The present scenario is that the college is situated in the midst of bounty nature, scenic natural green landscape in the periphery of Bidadi with its own building which houses the Principal‘s Office, the Arts and Commerce Faculty, the Computer laboratory and the Library for a students‘ strength of 192.

With 51 lakhs grants already released for the construction of the College classrooms by the Government, it is hoped that the College would cater to the cultural needs of 250 students in the near future and after the completion of a full-fledged building the strength of the College too, is expected to increase in the coming years. The strength of the Institution is its qualified, committed and dedicated faculty members, industrious administrative staff, the various Programmes and Cells funded by State Government, good academic ambience and the enthusiastic students.The College has always been in the frontline in fulfilling its social objectives in terms of educational attainments and producing quality individuals. The strength of the students is 192 in 2015-16 and the strength ofthe faculty is 15 (11 Permanent Staff + 4 Guest Faculty) with 7 nonteachingstaff. (04+02) 06 of the teaching staff members are yet to submit their doctoral thesis and to be awarded as Doctorateholders, most of them have M.Phil. degree and some of them have B.Ed qualification,07 teaching staff has qualified in the NET/SLET examinations. The College has prepared Self Study Report with relevant information on its notable programmes under each criterion.

The highlights of the criteria-wise analysis is as follows:

Having completed 9 years of valuable educational service, the college now offers degree programmes in Arts, Commerce, Management and Science at the Under graduate level to meet

7 the needs of the rural students. The college is affiliated to Bangalore University and follows the Semester and Choice Based Credit system (CBCS) pattern. The university updates the syllabus as and when required and our Institution follows its curriculum strictly. The admission to various courses is made in accordance with the regulations specified by Government of Karnataka and Bangalore University. The primary objective of the Institution is to enable the students to cope with the demands of the contemporary global scenario through effective transaction of the curricular and co-curricular aspects. Academic excellence, personality development and social orientation are our guiding principles. Our objective is to provide quality education to the rural underprivileged students hailing mostly from the marginalized and weaker sections of the society and transform them into better individuals so that they contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding the values of secularism, national Integration and social commitment. The objectives of the College are made known to the stakeholders through the College website and College prospectus. Our faculty members are also members of BOS and BOE of Bangalore University and they attend the meetings convened by the University and suggest measures for improvement of curriculum after taking the feedback from the teachers, students and peer groups. To implement the curriculum effectively enrichment programmes such as Workshops, special lectures, group discussions, seminars, village camps, industrial visits, etc., are organized. According to the rules and regulations of the University and the State Government, the College maintains transparency in the admission process asit is fully computerized. There is an Admission Committee in the College. It scrutinizes all the admission forms of aspiring students and takes due care of the norms prescribed by the State Government and the affiliating university regarding the eligibility of candidates. The admission committee members conduct counselling and help the students in the admission process. The students are admitted on first come first served basis.

The Institution being a Co-educational College with the objective of women‘s empowerment, every effort is made in order to prepare women students for their academic as also societal roles and responsibilities in the ever changing world.

IQAC contributes to improve the teaching–learning process by planning for new courses at UG level, introducing more teaching aids to improve the teaching–learning process and encourage innovative practices. It facilitates support for interdisciplinary programme and faculty development programme. Teachers are evaluated by students once a year. Feedback is processed

8 and analysed by the Principal; later, the results are intimated personally to the teachers. Suggestions are given by the Principal, if necessary.

The College consists of a good number research oriented scholars who have contributed to establish a research culture among staff and students. Special lecture, student seminar and workshops are conducted frequently by the concerned departments. The College has become successful in the inclusion of 2(f) and is processing the inclusion of this Institution under 12(b) of UGC act. With the inclusion, many of the faculty members who are very enthusiastic to undertake research activities in their respective areas will be provided opportunities to pursue their zeal for research.

Our College is well equipped with library, laboratories, furniture and equipments and sports ground. With the completion of the College building sufficient number of classrooms will be available. The Construction of well-planned campus is under progress. The College is providing an ample opportunity to the students to participate in various extracurricular activities, sports, NSS, scouts and guides, etc. Computers are freely accessible to the students to enhance their employability. A fully fledged Library with huge quantum of books is kept open access to borrow books. The partially automated library is to be shortly switched over to complete automation with maximum access to the library collection. Current Information, Placements and Career Development Programme will be immediately displayed on the notice board. The College is updating all the information regarding curricular and co-curricular activities in its website. The College is encouraging the students by identifying the potentiality in them. Intelligent students are motivated, inspired and encouraged throughout the courses by awarding scholarships to achieve distinction. The College does not collect capitation fees in any form. This policy is made so that the underprivileged students can help themselves to attain higher education and gain employability. The College conducts classes like Spoken English Tutorials, Computer literacy, Life Skills and Personality Development etc. to support slow learners. A wide exposure is given to students by visiting Industries, other CorporateSectors and other Colleges. Our College magazine― BIMBA‖serves as a forum for student‘s to exhibit and share their hidden talents, creativity and ideas flourishing capabilities. Students are encouraged to participate in various competitions like inter-collegiate cultural and sports events by providing TA and DA expenses.

A good number of students attending job mela organized by Corporate Sectors and other financial institutions have succeeded in gaining employability. The College has a registered Alumni Association and its activities have been a major contribution for academic growth. The percentage of students‘ progress from UG to PG is gradually increasing. Faculty members of the College personally counsel and encourage the students as Class mentors and facilitate them for progression towards higher level of education and employment. The College has its own vision and mission-Education for Excellence and Women Empowerment. The Principal, in consultation with the staff formulates plans and executes timely policies for the enhancement of academic curriculum. She/he establishes a cordial relationship among the staff and brings harmony which is utmost important for the effective implementation of quality plans and policies. Every department in the college prepares its own SWOT analysis. Accordingly each department is functioning at its best efforts.

Decentralized administration and effective communication has helped the Institution to grow in a short span of time. Intimacy between teachers and students has also been a contributing factor to a greater extent of quality education. The College is planning to extend its advanced courses in the days to come. The Institution has planted saplings to have greenery in the campus. The College has introduced prayer—Nada Geethe,Jai Bharatha Jananiya Thanujaathe a lyrical verse by the well-known Jnanapeeta Laureate, poet, Rasa Rishi, Rastrakavi Kuvempu. All the staff members and students assemble at 9.45A.M in the college campus to sing the Nada Geethe prayer followed by the National Anthem and this not only helps to create a feeling of oneness but also promotes patriotism and secularism in the minds of the students and the faculty members. Motivational talk is done and students are encouraged and inspired by narrating incidents in real life situations like extending their moral support to those who are in need and to donate blood to save the lives of others and also inculcate in their minds the qualities of a true leader. Uniform as a dress code has to be introduced from the year 2016-17 to bring in discipline among the students and cultivate an impression of equality among them irrespective of their socio-economic background. Yoga and Pranayama have been made part of co-curricular activities. While Yoga education helps in self-discipline and self-control, leading to immense amount of awareness, concentration and higher level of consciousness, Pranayama aims primarily at the control of one‘s mind. When the mind is under control, no thought

10 processes or emotional disturbance is possible. Hence, the practice of Yoga and Pranayama ensures ―A Sound Mind in a Sound Body‖

After the completion of admission process, each department will assess the length of knowledge and skills of incoming students. The teaching plan chalked out by each faculty will make provision naturally to assess the students knowledge and skills on the course content of the program selected by the student. Various strategies are drawn and deployed to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope the programme of their choice through remedial coaching and enrichment programmes such as seminars, workshops, special lectures with internal and external resource persons, skill development, etc. The students need to be oriented towards curricula, pattern of examinations, etc. Still there is also scope for student to change the course if he/she does not cope up with the course in the beginning itself.

CRITERIA 7 INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? The college is situated in a vast area of 6.2 acres in magnificent patchy green hills and beautiful natural scenery in outskirts of Bidadi town. The college campus appears lovely

189 and the environment surrounding encourages learning thrust to a student, the institute works meticulously to maintain a green environment in the campus. The college is growing in terms of enrolment of students as well as the facilities available for the students and staff. Keeping this in mind the college leadership has been focusing also on developing and maintaining environmental friendly campus by providing required facilities.

Though the green audit of campus and facilities is not done in the real sense of the term it has been kept clean and tidy. The campus development is taken up by NSS units of the college. Campus cleaning drives involving volunteers and staff are held every week by NSS units. The physical education department is also playing a significant role in developing and maintaining campus. The campus has greenery and looks beautiful. The environment on the campus is quiet clear, calm and conducive for learning. There is serenity on the campus which adds value to the education provided by the college. The facilities on the campus have been utilized by the students and staff optimally. Maintaining a green and serene campus is made as a continuous process.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

College administration undertakes required initiatives to make the campus eco-friendly. It follows simple ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced in the college which can help to save money on our energy bills.

Energy conservation

. At the end of each working day, we check that our PCs, printers, photocopiers and other stand-by appliances are turned off at the wall. . Keep classroom doors closed whenever possible. This will help to prevent cool or warm air from escaping. . Remind lecturers and office personnel to turn off appliances at the wall and in staff room when they are not in use. . Turn the lights off when a teacher leaves the classroom. If it‟s bright outside we think about whether there is a need for the lights to be on.

190

. We check that none of the taps around the college are dripping. If they are, get them fixed to save water and energy. . Planning to set up a recycling station to look at new things that could be recycled. Recycling paper, aluminum cans and plastic bottles saves on the raw materials and energy needed to make new paper, cans and bottles. . Walk, ride or catch a bus to college as much as possible. This reduces the carbon emissions released into the atmosphere and also saves lot of energy. . Turning unneeded lights off is the right habit which has been adopted. . Planting trees is a great way to reduce greenhouse gases. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases.

Use of renewable energy

Renewable energy can be a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to generate energy. Increasingly, individual buildings are looking at ways to generate their own power. Installing a renewable energy source is a large-scale project. It would be carried out in conjunction with energy saving and efficiency measures around our college. Measures are undertaken to convert energy from daylight into electricity.

Water harvesting

Recycling is a process and regarded as a key part of the green movement, this encourages some lifestyle changes which could be beneficial for us along with the environment. Conserving water is also a vital role in our life process. Recycling water helps to conserve energy as well as other natural resources. Conservation of water has become one of the basic requirements for our college. As our college building has not been handed over to us legally, we are not able to take initiatives for the implementation of rain water harvesting, once it is officially done, the process of rain water harvesting will be done by taking the guidance of the experts in this filed.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page..) which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

Best Practices – I

1. Title of the Practice: Participatory Learning 2. Goal:

196

To make students totally involved in the teaching-learning process, alternate teaching techniques supplementing the traditional lecture method must be evolved. This shift from traditional to innovative methods should make teaching an exciting and interactive exercise. All categories of students (slow & advanced learners) must benefit from the change and must be motivated to self-learn at least part of the topics discussed in the class. The students must be participatory and not be passive targets. Towards this effort, teaching modules and lesson plans are organized.

3. Context:

Feedback from students clearly indicates that the chalk and talk method is totally inadequate to sustain the interest of the students. The introduction of Choice Based Credit System has brought in sweeping changes in the curriculum. Innovative, application oriented, skill-based papers have been introduced in all disciplines. These papers cannot be taught by the conventional lecture method alone. Hence radical changes have been made in pedagogy.

4. Practice:

Students are involved in role-play, case studies and puzzle solving are some of the techniques used by several departments. Trouble shooting, Brainstorming sessions, Panel discussions and Management games are the tactics employed by the staff of Management Studies to make their wards industry-ready

Student centered learning strategies have been initiated. Exercises are undertaken to enable students to acquire hands-on learning and first hand information from real life situations. A few significant methodologies are described below.

. Industrial visits for experiential learning . Onsite learning and field visits . Students Seminars . Group Discussion . Surveys . inter-personal skills, Job skills, How to write a portfolio, Telephone conversation,

197

. Seminar, Mock Interviews, Role Play, Exercises in role play: marketing etc, Practical use of MS Word, OHP presentation, Preparing for Presentation etc, . Making profiles, stress management, time management, Using Internet, e-mail ID, sending e-mail, mailbox, net surfing etc.

The above exercises are given to all departments as they help the students to develop composite skills like interviewing skills, presentation skills, communication skills, Information Technology Skills.

5. Evidence of Success: Sustained efforts have been taken by the staff to adopt alternate teaching methods and the percentage of lecture methods is at present only 40-60, depending on the course. Teachers have been challenged to update themselves on emerging areas through web site visiting, as they have to act as facilitators and guides.

Students have welcomed the change and are now actively interacting with teachers, enjoying and benefiting from participatory learning.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Workshops and seminars had to be organised to bring about attitudinal changes in teachers and to impress on them the effectiveness of methodologies as teaching tools, other than the lecture method. Teachers have to be trained in the usage of ICT for preparing teaching aids.

The Head of Institution has made a structured plan to give an indent to the department for releasing funds to procure LCDs, OHPs, Educational CDs,hardware and software. Apart from the existing browsing centre, an additional 20 systems had to be established to meet the rising demand. New evaluation techniques also had to be introduced.

Best Practice – II

1. Title of the Practice: Mentoring

2. Goal:

. The college would like to achieve the vision of the institution -– that of a life - – oriented education. . It also would like to improve discipline and human interaction on the campus through the mentoring system.

3. Context

The College had earlier class teachers in charge of their respective classes, they were in charge of handing over the examinations progress reports after every exam conducted, wherein, the academic progress of the students was monitored, with not much opportunity to look into the strengths and weaknesses in the personal life of the student and guide them. To overcome this problem, the mentoring system was adopted in the College.

The students being at a vulnerable age tend to be rebellious (be it with regard to dressing, use of cell phones, attendance or relationships). The mentor, with constant counseling helps them to cope with their personal problems. This helps the students to be closer to the teacher in charge.

The mentors also strike a balance between the students coming from different strata of society thus creating an environment of self-respect and respect for others.

4. Practice: Mentorship is assigned to each member of the Arts and Commerce faculty based on the subject and classes they handle..

199

Each staff member is allotted 20 students and she/he is a mentor for all the three years of their stay in GFGC, Bidadi at the UG level. The mentor sheets have been designed to make provision to include all academic, co – curricular and personal details of the candidate including his /her family during the first year degree.

The mentor helps the student understand the organizational culture. She/he provides guidance on personal issues and guides her/him to choose certificate / credit courses offered in the institution.

The mentor points out strengths and areas for development in each student. She/he also helps the student to set long-term career goals and short-term learning objectives to enable them to perform effectively.

The mentor meets her/his wards regularly. Parents are called for interactive sessions to know how constructively their ward utilizes the time at home. Constructive suggestions are made for the overall development of the student.

Parents of achievers are advised by the mentor to encourage their wards to capitalize on their strengths and pursue higher studies. Slow learners are given tutorials in their weak subjects by the respective teachers

Sometimes mentors even address health problems and personal problems of the students.

5. Evidence of Success: . Mentoring has proved to be the ideal system to have adopted, as tremendous improvements that have been seen in the overall performance of the students. . There is a significant change and marked improvements in the students‟ attendance and attitude. . High self-esteem, appreciation for one-self and respect for others. . Mentorship was highly appreciated by the parents who felt that their children were in safe hands. . Students felt that they had somebody to turn to in times of trouble. . Improved discipline and humanizing environment on campus. . Indiscriminate use of cell phones reduced.

200

6. Problems encountered and resources required:

There was not much of problems in implementing this system. But initially it took some time for the students to get adjusted to their mentee.

• Lack of Smart class

Opportunities:
