ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Writing a report is like walking. One has to think about it when it begins, but if you go on thinking the same, you may fall over; because it is like a process of becoming and happening. Though seems simple, it is the most challenging task. One has to gather authentic information from all the units and sub units of the institution and analyze before categorizing and recording. The Steering Committee has been fully mindful of all the positive and possible aspects of the college and reflects the same in an independent and intelligible manner. It has operated honestly giving due importance to accuracy and double checks the facts with call backs before final saying.

We would like to thank our principal Prof. S. G. Murthy for extending his constant encouragement, guidance, feedback and co-operation in planning and execution of the report. My regards are due to the members of the NAAC core committee who have dedicated their time and energy in organizing, compiling and editing the report to its present form. I sincerely appreciate all the teaching, office and other non-teaching staff for their timely help, support and contribution. My gratitude to all those responsible for bringing out this report. This report is the result of cumulative effort and simulative enthusiasm.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Education means in literal terms systematic instruction for the development of character and of mental power. It transforms the traditions, culture, skills and knowledge from one generation to another. In view of the above statement the Government First grade College of Hirekerur was established in the year 1982. It is the effort made by then education minister late Sri G.B. Shankararao . it is a great privilege to say that, and then it was the only Government College of undivided Dharwad district. It was a pre-requisite for Hirekerur People, for its backwardness and remoteness. Prior to that, poor people of this rural area, who would like to get education, were moving towards surrounding places such as Shimoga, Ranebennur, Haveri, Dharwad, Davanagere etc. People of Hirekerur badly looked for the Govt College, at the very appropriate time the Govt College was established. Since then it has been serving its basic purpose to the region. Hirekerur Taluk is situated in southwest and southern portions of with an area of 806.16 sq.kms as per village records. The population of Hirekerur Taluk according to 2001 census was 2,12,434. It occupied forth place in population among seven taluks of the district. The sex ratio of the Hirekerur is 952, and the literacy rate is 73 percentages. [2001] Hirekerur is noted by its rich historical remarks such as Hallur, which is 20 kms away from Hirekerur is recognized as a neolethic site of 1st century AD. Its history goes back as early as 7th century AD. Rasstrakutas, later Chalukyas, Hoysalas, and feudatories of Vijayanagara kings ruled this area. Then Hirekerur was known as ‘Piriyakere’12 which had been an administrative unit consisting of 12 villages. Abaluru, Channamulagunda, and some other villages are having some historical monuments. Sarvajna a well-known Tripadi poet and philosopher born at abaluru, Hirekerur taluk. Another Kannada poet Shantakavi is also the product of the taluk. In freedom movement also Hirekerur played incredible role, to quote it ‘Karabandha chaluvali’. [1930] At the time of unification of Karnataka the People of the Taluk played better role. In Hirekerur Taluk 128 villages are there and the primary schools are made available in 125 villages. High schools are available in all the taluk head quarters, rural central places and modal villages. There are 31 private and 8 government high schools; thirteen junior colleges and four first grade colleges are there. Four computer centers and six industrial training institutions are located in the taluk. Being a Government college we provide cheaper and better education for the students. Especially for poor and rural area like Hirekerur, Government College is an advantage, and it serves its purpose accordingly in and as mission, vision and goal.

The institution receives regular circulars, letters and emails from the university, regarding the changes or modifications in the curriculum. The Principal informs the concerned teachers about the change and gives them a copy of the same. Thus the faculty members receive all sorts of support from the university and institution to understand the curriculum properly.

The institution encourages its faculty to participate in such workshops. Moreover, the faculty members of the institution are allowed to place orders or purchase books, reference books of their subject as per their requirement.

3. The Context: Students in general may not have general banking and computer knowledge required to everybody. Students belonging to humanities and commerce streams may find general arithmetic difficult to manage. Students belonging to Science and Commerce streams may find humanities alien. 4. The Practice: Banking is a part of day to day affairs of life. Many may not have Sufficient knowledge of general banking, like opening an account, depositing and Withdrawing money, different saving methods, etc., Today’s life seems Incomplete without average knowledge of computers. Everybody needs basic knowledge of computers like preparing report, chart preparation, sending and receiving e-mails, etc., Students of Science and Commerce streams have little knowledge of humanities like Sociology, Psychology which is required for any person to develop their personality. Students of Humanities and Commerce streams have little knowledge of general arithmetic and logic which is very much required if one has to take exams like banking exams, and other competitive exams. 5. Evidence of Success: Since this practice is started recently, college needs some more time to assess its rate of success. 6. Problems encountered and resources required: Infrastructure is a problem,
