Preface
Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, registered under 2f & 12B of the UGC Act, is submitting the Self Study report for Re-assessment and Re-accreditation for the second cycle. The College has undergone its assessment and accreditation by NAAC in October 2005, and was awarded ‘B++’ in February 2006.
The NAAC visit gave our College a new vista and impetus to undertake a march towards a new height. During the past years we have given best to develop our institution in all respects with the support of all the stakeholders of the college. We can say with great joy that during this period the College has grown into a great abode of learning that has not only sheltered thousands of youngsters but has also moulded them into great personalities, now spread across the country.
During the preparation of the Self Study Report we have found full cooperation and assistance from all the stakeholders. We most gratefully acknowledge their unflinching support. Without such cooperation it would not be possible for us to be only the second college in the state to submit ourselves to the second cycle of the Re-accreditation process.

Executive Summary
At this moment of presenting our Self Study Report (SSR) to National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in connection with the Reaccreditation of Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, 24 Parganas (North), West Bengal in the Second Cycle, we would like to undertake a short-tour: from the history to the present of our College, which would surely reveal the future roadmap of all-comprehensive development of this great institution.
I
The Legacy
Sree Chaitanya College, Habra occupies a very distinguished status in the higher education map of the district of North 24 Parganas as well as of the state of West Bengal. The institution with its imposing building-structures amid a lush green of more than 20 acres of land, overlooking Jessore Road (NH 35), is about 40 km from Kolkata. The college was established in 1956, primarily to cater the need of the thousands of hapless youth who, owing to partition of the country were forced to settle almost as paupers in this part of the state but had nourished deep in their hearts an inextinguishable urge to pursue higher education to overcome their present miseries.
But their dream would have never been realised without the initiative of the Habra Siksha Parishad and kind patronage of Government of West Bengal under the legendary Chief Minister, the late Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. However, the project was given a proper shape by the youngest Minister in the Roy-Cabinet, the late Tarun Kanti Ghosh, who was also an MLA from Habra. The College began its journey in the premises of Habra High School; then shifted to site of Bangiya Christian Council; and finally to its present premises on October 5, 1958. It is a matter of prestige that in October 1958, the Government of India recognised the institution as a Degree College on sponsored basis, dedicated mainly to the education of the displaced students from the erstwhile East Pakistan, in the Intermediate and Bachelor Degree in Arts and Science, with affiliation from University of Calcutta, with effect from the academic session 1958-59.
As time rolled on, the College grew into a giant academic institution with Honours Departments in Arts and Science subjects. The College has always been blessed with a bunch of gifted teachers, with brilliant academic career, and a band of dedicated non-teaching staff, including librarians. The hard work of the whole of the College staff has helped produce generations of excellent students with very good academic results, many of whom have become university-toppers. Many of our former students have been very successful in life as school/college/university teachers; researchers in renowned institutions in India and abroad; bureaucrats and technocrats in government services or business corporations; journalists, authors and theatre personalities of repute.

The College Now
From 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the College came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008-09. We offer 14 courses in Honours subjects and 16 courses in General subjects according to syllabi framed by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU. Although, the College does not enjoy autonomy to frame syllabi/curricula at the Undergraduate (UG) level, a few teachers, in the capacity of being the members of the UG-BOS of their respective subjects, take part in syllabus-framing. Here, it would be appropriate to mention that for last few years, we have also introduced Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and Bengali, with huge response from the students’ community. In these Courses, the College has its own PG- BOS, which frame their own respective syllabus, and thus contribute to the development of higher education. Beside regular courses, we also offer distance education courses both at the UG and PG levels as a unit of Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU).
The regular UG Courses are of three years, which a student must complete within a maximum span of five years as per University regulations. Students enjoy freedom to switch over to a new subject or stream within three months from the date of admission, according to Merit List and subject to vacancy. They are admitted to Honours Courses purely on the basis of results in the Higher Secondary and equivalent examinations. Seats are reserved for the students from SC/ST/OBC background as per rule.
The College has a huge treasure of valuable reference as well as text books, kept in the Main Library and Departmental Libraries. The science departments are equipped with most up-to- date laboratories and scientific instruments. Most of the departments have their computers with internet facilities; some science departments have computer laboratories. The students also enjoy the facilities of ICT classrooms. Some departments have ICT classrooms of their own, some departments avail this facility jointly.
A detailed academic calendar, showing the allotment and workload, time frame and internal examinations schedule, is made at the beginning of each session. Class-room teaching is supplemented by (i) occasional holding of seminar-lectures on particular topics; (ii) arrangement of lectures by students; (iii) publication of departmental journals as well as wall- magazines;(iv) educational tours; and (v) special lectures by eminent teachers of universities and other colleges.
The College also follows the RTI Act, and has set up a Public Information Cell. Some other Cells that need special mentioning are: a) Anti-sexual harassment Cell; b) Anti-ragging Cell; c) Career Guidance Cell; d) Women’s Cell and e) Research and Development (R&D) Cell. Recently, a Campus Film Society came into being with affiliation from Federation of Film Societies of India (this National Body was founded in 1959, with the legendary master Satyajit Ray as the President, and at times, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Minister of
5 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
Information and Broadcasting, had been the Vice-President) to inculcate the value of cinematic appreciation of feature as well as documentary masterpieces. In West Bengal, only two ‘Campus’ Film Societies exist till now: one at Visva Bharati Kala Bhavan and the second is our institution.
In short, our idea of academic excellence is holistic. This means that we ask ourselves continually what comprises excellence in education. We do not limit ourselves to covering the prescribed syllabus, though no latitude is entertained in this respect. But, looking beyond the boundaries of the syllabi, we also continually ask what education in a holistic sense should involve and how best to attain it.
Finally, we firmly believe in an all-round development of our students. We encourage them to seriously take up co-curricular and extracurricular activities along with academic pursuits. We have more than one play grounds, an open-air theatre and one auditorium. Besides, there are separate well-equipped gymnasiums for boys and girls. We also provide separate indoor games facilities for boys and girls. The elected Students’ Union organises, with the guidance of teachers and staff of the College, annual sports, cultural programmes and various social welfare activities, and helps to develop and maintain ideal and healthy student-teacher- administration relations.
Thus, there is no doubt that Sree Chaitanya College, Habra all along has stood for the holistic development of the students. It has spelt out its vision of sharing learning with humanity for a very human cause to transform citizens, who, in turn, shall change our society into a place, where, in the words of Rabindranath Tagore:
….the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit…
The pages that follow will provide comprehensive information as well as throw more light on the various facets of our institution that submit itself to be assessed and accredited for the second cycle. Hope the outcome of this whole exercise will be fruitful and conducive to achieving greater heights of success.

Criteria-wise Activities
Criterion I: Curricular Aspects
Sree Chaitanya College, Habra was established on August 2, 1956. The College began its journey came to its present premises on October 5, 1958 with affiliation from University of Calcutta (CU); from 2008; with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the College came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008-09. Presently, we offer 14 courses in Honours subjects and 2 courses in General subjects according to syllabi framed by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU.
For last few years, Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and Bengali, have been introduced, with huge response from the students’ community, particularly for last two Courses. In these Courses, the College has its own PG-BOS, which frame their own respective syllabus. The change in the curriculum for the Undergraduate levels from the academic year 2009-10, has resulted in the rescheduling of the entire course content. A large number of faculty members as BOS members contributed for the same.
The WBSU organises workshops and seminars in the teaching learning aspects of the newly introduced curriculum. Teachers are consulted on academic matters whenever the University takes a new decision. Consistent efforts are made by the institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction. Teaching plans are prepared. Class rooms are ICT enabled with LCD projectors and internet facilities. E-learning through ICT is made available. The College allocates adequate funds for the purchase of books, materials, equipments and apparatuses.
The College enriches University prescribed curricula by organising seminars, workshops, skill based courses, field trips and publishing a research journal. Weeklong value education workshops are conducted to sensitise students on contemporary social and personal issues. The college makes an effort to address cross cutting issues of gender, environment, human rights etc. Information Technology is an essential component of the curriculum.
The institution offers 14 UG Honours Courses (8 Science and 6 Arts/Social Sciences) and two PG (Bengali and Chemistry) Courses. It also offers 16 UG General Courses including Defence Studies and Journalism and Mass Communication. The PG Courses are self- financed. Recently, the college has also introduced Add-on Certificate course. The IQAC monitors different developmental activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular.
Informal feedback on the curriculum is obtained from various stakeholders and the same is used by the faculty to enhance the curriculum. It is also used by faculty who are the members of BOS for implementation while restructuring curriculum by the university. Three new PG programmes were introduced since our previous accreditation. One new General UG Course in Physical Education will be introduced (got necessary permission from appropriate authorities) from the academic year 2015-16.

Criterion II: Teaching-Learning and Evaluation
Sree Chaitanya College is a very reputed and well-known college in the district of North 24 Pgs and also in the state of West Bengal. Students from other districts also seek admission to our college. Wide publicity is made available in order to invite applications during the admission period. The Admission Sub-Committee deals with the admission process. Counselling in selection of the course is provided by the committee. Online admission has been adopted for better transparency. Mode of admission is on the basis of merit at the qualifying examination and as per reservation rules. The process of admission is carried out as per norms laid down by WBSU and Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal. The admission process is annually reviewed. Remedial classes, peer learning and counselling are provided to slow learners. Advanced learners are offered the Book Bank facility. They are encouraged into leadership, organizational and academic responsibilities. Economically weaker students are provided with concession in fees, besides scholarships from Government and Non-Government agencies, and the College authority allows payment of fees in instalments. The educational Policy of the college addresses the issues of environment, gender bias and inclusive education. Value education workshops sensitize students on empowerment of the girl child, saving Mother Earth, combating social evils and inculcating equality and brotherhood. An Academic Calendar of teaching-learning-evaluation is prepared. The IQAC facilitates the planning and improvement of the teaching, learning and evaluation process. With a focus on the learner-centred approach, the faculty uses the lecture-cum-discussion method, presentation, assignment mode etc. ICT and LCD with wi-fi internet is used in the teaching- learning process. Independent learning is encouraged through e-learning. Some of the faculty members are trained to conduct online courses. The College adopts the pattern of examination and evaluation prescribed by the affiliating University which involves continuous assessment. The library has a large collection of books, journals and magazines. Online resources from INFLIBNET contribute towards the learning process. Individual departments review the progress in teaching and learning through departmental meetings, lesson plans, audit of question papers, syllabus completion reports and student feedback to monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching-learning. The culture of learning created by the institution over the years and its reputation in the pursuit of excellence motivates the students and teachers to join the institution. Out of the 57 confirmed teachers in substantive posts and 3 Librarians and one GLI, 35 have Ph.D. degree, 07 have M.Phil Degree. Among 12 Part-time teachers, one has an M. Phil Degree. However, the College is also facing an acute crisis in filling up of approved substantive teaching posts despite several and continuous official efforts following proper channels. We have 85 approved posts of full-time teachers. Thus, there is a huge gap between the demand and supply! Recently, the Principal has submitted requisitions for 22 full-time teaching posts to West Bengal College Service Commission (WBCSC). He has also applied for de-reservation of some seats, after the WBSC failed to recommend sufficient number of teachers belonging to SC/ST/OBC Categories. This situation compels the College to appoint several Permanent Part-time and Guest Teachers to fill up the dearth. At present, we have altogether 113 faculty members, including the Principal, Full-time Teachers, Librarians, GLI, Part-time and guest teachers.

Criterion I
Curricular Aspects
As stated in the beginning, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra is one of the most distinguished academic institutions in the district of North 24 Parganas as well as of the state of West Bengal. The college, situated on Jessore Road (NH 35), was established on August 2, 1956, primarily to cater the need of the thousands of hapless ‘refugee’ youth who, owing to partition of the country were forced to settle almost as paupers in this part of the state. We gratefully remember the contributions of Dr. B.C. Roy, the first Chief Minister of West Bengal, the Late Tarun Kanti Ghosh, a Minister in the Roy-cabinet and a few other educationists towards establishment of this institution. The College began its journey in the premises of Habra High School and came to its present premises on October 5, 1958 with affiliation from University of Calcutta (CU), with effect from the academic session 1958-59. The Government of India also recognised the institution as a Degree College on sponsored basis (October, 1958). From 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the College came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008- 09. Presently, we offer 14 courses in Honours subjects and 3 courses in General subjects according to syllabi framed by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU. For last few years, we have also introduced Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and Bengali, with huge response from the students’ community, particularly for last two Courses. In these Courses, the College has its own PG-BOS, which frame their own respective syllabus, and thus contribute to the development of higher education. Beside regular courses, we also offer distance education courses both at the UG and PG levels. A unit of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was set up in the College in 2008. However, owing to deficiency of students that Unit does not function any more. Beside IGNOU, the College has been imparting distance education at UG and PG levels as a unit of Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU) since 1999. The NSOU Unit of the College is being run successfully till date.
1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 Vision of the College:
Character Formation through Knowledge and Value-based Education for Transformation of the Society and the Nation
Our Mission: a) To suit the above ‘Vision’, the ‘Mission’ of the College is to provide balanced, value based and knowledge based education informed by latest technology, with a view to instilling self-confidence among the students, in order to turn them into sensitive, dedicated and
26 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
disciplined citizens who will display a high intellectual calibre, together with emotional balance and social commitment and particularly at helping the students with backward social and economic backgrounds living around the institution. b) The college aims at moulding and shaping the students as good citizens with qualities of mind and heart showing commitment towards the nation as well as the community in which they live, extending the role of governance and leadership in discharging the different activities to its stakeholders and inculcating innovative practices. With such orientation students are expected to get involved in societal transformation. c) Needless to say that since our College was established to serve the higher education needs of the hapless of youth, who had to bear the toll of Partition, we have always strove to spread education among this section of the society. Besides, we have to cater a huge number of students coming from the First Generation Literate families. Thus, our Vision and Mission does not come from any ivory tower but from the ‘real’ situation around us.
Objectives: 1. To strike a balance between the traditional and latest methods of pedagogy/teaching, with regular feedback from students and guardians, in order to pursue the goal of “Advancement of Learning”. 2. To prepare our students to undertake and cope with the future responsibilities in different walks of life both in the professional and social arena. 3. To help the society and community around us with the lamp of knowledge.
1.1.2 Institutional development and deployment of Action Plan for Effective Implementation of the Curriculum: The Objectives, stated above, which reflects the spirit of our Mission, are achieved through the effective implementation of the curriculum in the following ways: Discipline based learning with a support of a Teaching plan Student Centric Learning Value Based Education Value Added Education Interdisciplinary Learning Provision of Academic Flexibility Knowledge and skills in Arts, Sciences, Humanities Knowledge and skills in Communication and ICT.
27 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
Development of Learning Outcome in the autonomous courses Promotion of Co-curricular and Extra-curricular programmes
The College divides the processes of implementation of the curriculum, round the year, in the following stages: 1. The entire faculty and the department, under the guidance of IQAC, Academic Sub-committee, Faculty Council (PG) and Board of studies (PG) frame strategies to develop action plan for the implementation of curriculum as well as schedule of co-curricular and extra- curricular activities at the beginning of every academic year. 2. Every department conducts meetings to assess the progress of syllabus and prepares teaching plans by consulting Academic Diary/Log Book basing it on the Academic Calendar of the concerned streams. 3. Faculty developed teaching plans and curriculums are executed with different teaching methodologies in both undergraduate and post graduate courses. To make the most of the Curriculum, many Departments invite faculties from other Departments of the College, who have proven expertise in inter-disciplinary fields. Plenty use of ICT and innovative methods of teaching and learning is encouraged.
Co-curricular programmes: Co-curricular programmes for enriching the curriculum include seminars, debates and discussions, assignments and project work, fieldwork and industrial visits, regular examinations, Add-on/Certificate courses, Communicative English and Soft Skill development, activities of NCC etc.
1.1.3 Support from the University and the Institution for Effectively Translating the Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices:
Support from the University: The College, as already has been mentioned, had been affiliated to University of Calcutta between 1956 and 2007. During this period the CU had inspired and motivated the teachers of the College to participate in various Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices through various activities like inducting teachers in the UG Board of Studies (BOS), conducting various Orientation Programmes (OP) and Refresher Courses (RC), organising Workshops before and after the introduction of new syllabi and also supplying various study materials, in Departments, when needed. Since 2008, with the foundation of WBSU, the syllabi of all the courses of UG level through UG-BOS have been thoroughly revised. It has also played an effective role for Translating the Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices of the institution. The University informs and motivates the institution regarding the Orientation and Refresher Courses for the teachers in order to improve the quality of teaching as well as provide opportunities for professional and academic growth. The university organises workshops and seminars in the teaching learning aspects of the newly introduced curriculum. Teachers are consulted on academic matters whenever the University takes a new decision. Many of them are members of various Board of Studies of the University (undergraduate level).

Till date, it follows this policy. At the end of every session, the Academic Calendar for the next session is prepared by a group of senior and experienced teachers, nominated by IQAC. Then, at the beginning of every new session, the Academic Sub-Committee, under the leadership of IQAC, chalks out an Annual Lesson Plan for all the departments based on the Academic Calendar. Then every Department prepares a Departmental Lesson Plan, which is carried through ICT backed class room teaching and other innovative practices. The college has also introduced Add-on Certificate course. Value Education, Counselling and Soft skills Development courses are done through Week-long Students’ Workshops. The college library also provides adequate support to teachers in regard to teaching as well as research with a vast number of reference books, e-books/journals and INFLIBNET N-List. (i) For research oriented working atmosphere WI-FI internet connection in Library is provided; (ii) LCD projector, OHP and other computer facilities are given for effective teaching and learning; (iii) Tutorial and Remedial classes for slow and weak learners are held; (iv) well-equipped laboratories with Technical support are provided wherever required; (v) a seminar hall with ICT for conducting seminars and workshops is also provided.
The IQAC Initiative: Since its inception, the IQAC monitors different developmental activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular. It facilitates the process of participation of the faculty in different International/National/State-level Seminars/Symposia/Conferences, and also in up-gradation courses like, Orientation Programmes and Refresher Courses. It also promotes awareness to the faculty regarding the new developments in the educational scenario. It encourages faculty to have more publications and helps them in project preparation and fund raising initiatives from various National funding agencies. As per the recommendation of IQAC the college provides funds for research work. Further, to facilitate and monitor the research activities by the teachers the R&D Cell takes initiatives, under the leadership of IQAC.

1.1.4 Institutional Contribution to Effective Curriculum Delivery and Transaction:
Since 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the change in the curriculum for the Undergraduate levels from the academic year 2009-10, has resulted in the rescheduling of the entire course content. A large number of faculty members as BOS members contributed for the same. At the autonomous PG levels the Semester system has been introduced since 2009 and the syllabus was reframed with a thrust on research oriented studies by the PG BOS of each department. Some initiatives and contributions made by this institution for the effective delivery and transaction of the curriculum provided by the University in an innovative and interactive way are: In case of Post Graduate autonomous courses, the complete curriculum planning and delivery is done by the PG BOS and the Faculty Council. In case of UG Courses, the syllabus is provided by the affiliating university and enrichment of curriculum is done by the college. Academic Calendar is prepared every year as a blueprint for timely and effective coverage of the syllabus. Academic Diary/Log Book is maintained in every Department. Equipments like computers, LCD projectors as well as LCD Screen etc are provided for ICT Classes. Adequate flexibility is provided by the wide range in the choice of subjects to the students in UG.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity
2.2.1 Differently-abled students:
In the admission process, though the number of differently-abled students is small, no discrimination is made but special efforts are made to admit them. For students with walking disabilities, lectures are held in classrooms on the ground floor. These arrangements of convenience are provided to the concerned students so that an environment of inclusive education is encouraged for their personal enhancement.
2.2.2 Assessment of the Students’ Needs in terms of Knowledge and Skills Before the Commencement of the Programme:
Students admitted to the college after Class XII General Examinations, are generally in a position to cope with the subjects as they select the subject after receiving counselling from the admission committee. In almost all the Streams, for instance, in the first two weeks from the commencement of the academic year, the teachers make it a point to give an overall background of the subject. This gives the students a chance to revise/revisit the basics of the topics they have learnt in their schools and that definitely help bridging the gap of inadequacy.
2.2.3 Strategies Drawn and Deployed by the Institution to Bridge the Knowledge Gap of the Enrolled Students:
Remedial classes have been taken earlier for slow learners/economically/socially weaker classes. Tutorial classes are conducted in all the Hons. Departments. Guest lecturers from different academic/research institutions are invited and their lectures help students to get practical and in-depth knowledge on subject-related areas.
43 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
Academic visits to Museums/State Legislative Assembly etc and field trips are organized for the students. Individual help is rendered as and when required by respective teachers.
2.2.4 Sensitizing Staff and Students on Gender, Inclusion and Environment:

The College has set up various Cells/Clubs to sensitise the Staff and Students on issues like Gender, Inclusion and Environment.
We have set up, with the help from West Bengal Women’s Commission, Women’s Cell, and a Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell (as per Bishakha Guidelines and latest Acts).
This is also reinforced by the Principal when addressing the faculty, other staff and on various occasions such as public functions, and especially, in seminars on Women’s Issues/Gender Sensitisation, organized in the institution.
The Nature Club of the College spreads the message of the importance of maintaining environmental/ecological balance. Further, for regular reinforcement and inculcation of this value among the students, we have installed many placards/boards throughout the College premises, which carry various slogans on Green Environment. Thus, students are motivated to keep a clean and litter-free environment in their class rooms and laboratories in particular, and around the campus in general. Dustbins/Litter-bins are kept at strategically located places within the college campus.
Value education workshops, conducted at the beginning of the Session, for all the students, through which they are sensitized on various issues such as empowering the girl child, the importance of education for the marginalized, the insistence on inclusion, saving Mother Earth, environment-friendly causes and combating social evils. Through various feature/documentary films, organised by the Film Club, the message of inclusive education and social system is spread.
45 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
NCC students are sensitized about these issues through their programmes, inside the College, and in various outside inter-college camps.
Each year, the Students’ Union undertakes various social capacity building programmes like Literacy Drive, Text Book Distribution etc for the poorer sections around the College locality.
The Faculty also participates in various workshops and sessions on the above topics and in turn has discussions with students in their classroom interactions. They are motivated to acquire an inclusive attitude towards one and all. The twin values of equality and brotherhood are inculcated in them.
In support of the ‘International Earth Hour’, every week, the institution encourages practice of ‘Switch Off’ of electricity for 15 minutes during the recess We have also installed ‘Main Switches’ outside every room, to avoid unnecessary misuse of power, which help us conserve electric power and minimise carbon emission.
.2.2.5 Special Educational/Learning Needs of Advanced Learners:
On the basis of class interactions and performance (through Class Tests), advanced learners are identified. Some of these students are provided with opportunities for leadership and organizational responsibility in their respective classes. Group work, prior reading, article and report writing are encouraged. Further, they are motivated and trained to participate in intra- department/intra-college/inter-collegiate activities.
2.2.6 Data and Information on the Academic Performance:
The academic performance of students is evaluated by the respective Departments through their continual interaction with them. Academic performance is also ascertained through their attendance, class participation and performance in the examination. A number of students tend to discontinue due to inability to cope with their studies: In cases of prolonged irregularity in classes parents are duly informed well in advance. Weak students are provided with remedial classes, peer learning opportunities and even counselling if required. In cases where financial constraint becomes a problem for the students to continue their course, they are provided with concessions and the management allows payment of fees in instalments. Such measures have been taken up with the objective of minimizing the number of dropouts.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

Regular maintenance of water supply and prevention of water In support of the International ‘Earth Hour’, every week, the institution practices the ‘Switch Off time’ of electricity for 15 minutes during the recess. Efforts for Carbon Neutrality: The tree plantation programme on campus has contributed towards pollution free air and reduction in environmental hazards. ‘Anti-plastic’ drive is undertaken. Bins for wastes are placed in strategic places on campus. Use of paper is reduced. Setting up of ICT classrooms is a step in this direction. Efforts are being made to make administration, the teaching-learning process and admissions online. Public address system has been set up. Producing documentaries, organizing street plays and poster displays for promoting environmental awareness.
106 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
Plantation: Proper care of the gardens and plantations across the campus is taken, especially o the Foundation Day (2 August) E-waste management: Use of re-writable CDs.
7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Innovations Introduced:
The College has introduced various innovations that have shown a positive impact on the functioning of the college. The College Film Club, affiliated to, organizes screening of films, which is followed by discussions. Sometimes Cine critics and renowned directors are invited to train students as well as staff of the College in film-appreciation and also to grow consciousness on social maladies, ecology and others. Photography Club trains students in basic photography techniques. The Bengali Department at PG level has made field-visit mandatory for writing projects. This innovation is unique, since no other college or university has made such a practice mandatory for PG students. ICT-backed classrooms used in the teaching-learning process. Online System is used wherever possible. Entire admission process – both at UG & PG levels – has been made online. Each One Teach One Programme develops a sense of social responsibility and leadership among students.
7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Best Practice I
1. Title of the Practice: Faculty Enrichment Programme (FEP)
2. Goal Aims and Objectives:
From 2014, the IQAC is organising two half-yearly FEPs, for enhancement of the faculty. FEP is a means to enrich the faculty for their self development, enhancing their professional competency as well as their holistic development thereby facilitating their role as educators and responsible members of the society. The institution conducts the enrichment programme annually with the following objectives:
To update knowledge To increase effectiveness To achieve holistic development To exchange knowledge with different faculty members To sensitize towards social responsibilities
107 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
3. The Context
Education at present is undergoing tremendous change that demands from the faculty a need to update and keep abreast of the latest development. The Management took the initiative to organize annually a FEP for the teaching staff. A wide range of topics are being chosen which contributes towards realization of the objectives of the institution. Topics related to teaching-learning, contemporary issues, changing scenario in Higher Education, quality initiatives, research, Value Education, environmental issues etc. have been the focus of these programmes. Professional experts in their respective field are invited as resource persons. This practice has proved to be helpful and beneficial to the faculty. The Management funds the entire cost incurred for the F.E.P. Each FEP is held for one full day.
4. The Practice
In every six months, a team of faculty members, under the leadership of IQAC, are assigned the responsibility of organizing the F.E.P. The chosen team co-ordinates with the Principal and Coordinator, IQAC, to plan and schedule the F.E.P. Through consultation with the Management and faculty, a topic for the programme is identified.
One F.E.P is conducted by the senior faculty of the College themselves. This gives the young teachers to interact more freely and gives the seniors to groom the young faculty members into future star-teachers of the College. Another FEP is mainly guided by outside faculty/experts. This gives the faculty members an opportunity to know about the changing scenario of education and also a chance to know how to strike the excellence.
5. Evidence of Success
The benefits have been rewarding. These can be ascertained from the feedback given by the participants. Post FEP initiatives taken by individual faculty members also speak about the evidence of success. For example, FEP on ‘Counselling’ has resulted in the institute running a counselling cell with a professional counsellor; ‘Teacher and Research’ encouraged many faculty members to engage in active research and pursue a doctoral degree. ‘Importance of Value Education’ has facilitated a healthy value education programme for the students. Students are important stake-holders in the teaching-learning process. In the age of ICT, the training through the FEP has benefitted the faculty in rendering quality education with the effective use of technology.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Our college is a multi-disciplinary institution. As such, there are some faculty members who cannot relate to the selected topic of the FEP. This affects the effectiveness of the programme. For example, the programme on ‘Learning Management System’ which had certain faculty members who were not technology-friendly could not keep pace with the resource persons while those who were well versed with the use of computer technology derived optimal benefits. The Management provides necessary financial resources. Experts are available and readily accept invitations as resource persons.
108 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
7. Notes
FEP has proved to be an effective means for the growth of the faculty members. This programme is being conducted successfully for last two years and its positive outcomes are reflected through the various initiatives taken by the faculty and the management towards an enriched and holistic teaching-learning process.
7.3.2 Best Practice – II
1. Title of the Practice: Mentoring Programme
2. Goal - To build a cordial mentor-mentee relationship, to provide support and guidance towards self development of students in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. Aims and Objectives:
To provide individual attention To help realize their own potential To appreciate different perspectives To create awareness and need for diversified knowledge.
3. The Context
Today’s adolescents are facing critical times. They face difficulties with introduction of higher studies. They find it difficult to take decisions and make adjustments to different situations they come across. Besides academic difficulties, they find that life is not worth living. In these circumstances, the Mentoring Programme contributes to bring about behavioural changes in the adolescents and face life situations in order to make life worth living.
4. The Practice
A Programme Coordinator is selected who allots a fixed number of students to each teacher. Thus groups of Mentor-Mentee are formed. Interaction dates are fixed once a month with a 45 minutes interaction. Mentors are provided with guidelines to make the interaction meaningful and result oriented. A personal file of the mentee is maintained. Some programmes are organized group wise as follows:
Career Guidance: My Job My Hobbies/Career Talks/Employment Personality Development: Talks/Workshops/Talent display competitions create learning opportunities, learning soft skills for life, setting goals, responsibility, team work and health. Social Outreach: Each One Teach one programme. Academic Excellence: Improve overall academic achievement and awareness of the college ethos and culture; networking opportunities, distribution of results and interaction with parents; monitor performance and absenteeism.
109 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
Problem Solving: Dealing with inter-personal issues, personal problems, social stress and guidance for decision making. Referrals to the college counsellor are also included.
5. Evidence of Success
Growth of students:
Personal/academic/career. Building capacity for making responsible choices and decisions in life. Better prepared to take on challenges in life. Behavioural changes as seen in their life.
Accrued Benefits:
Mentee: Gaining a sense of responsibility, increased awareness and information through talks. Opportunity to speak to one’s mentor and seek help, create a sense of belonging, talent display, support network, guidance, advice and counselling. Make the Mentee realize that life is worth living. Mentor: An avenue to direct, support and offer help to students thereby fulfilling their role as teachers and guides. Role as advisor on personal and academic issues College: Inculcates a spirit of discipline and responsibility. Enhances cooperation for smooth functioning of the institution.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required and Obstacles Faced
Time Constraint: It is very difficult with very lengthy examination schedule of WBSU to pursue with this programme without interruption. Insufficient training of Mentors.
7. Notes
Mentoring is an important task which requires:
Investment of quality time and effort with students Continuous involvement. Trained & dedicated Mentors Experts/Resource Person

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: In order to enhance the learning of the students regular tutorials are taken. PG students are encouraged to give talks in the form of student seminars. Interaction between the students and the teachers are considered an important part of teaching.To further complement the theoretical lecture mode of teaching field trips are organised on annual basis to introduce students to the real life cultural milieu of particular study groups, thereby creating an opportunity of learning from first hand experience.
34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities:
In an attempt to create an opportunity of interface between the literateurs and the students, literary readings and interaction programmes are organised every 3/4 months. Often local poets/ literateurs are invited to the department to share their creations with all of us. For this we forward open invitation to all other faculty of other deptts. Students of other departments as well as to the non teaching staff of our college..We believe that good literature has its appeal to all, irrespective of their branch of specialisation.We attempt to cater to all lovers of literature this way and thereby contribute to an atmosphere of enhanced sensitivity around us.
As an extension activity we organise annual creative writing contest among all the students of our college.. These writings are judged upon by a panel of teachers from the Department of Bengali and the stand-out wrtings are given appropriate acknowledgement. This way we hope to inspire the young adults to express themselves more in a meaningful way.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strength The chief strength of the department is its formidable size. Department of Bengali enjoys the largest number of students in the college. Most of these students have a knack for literary appreciation and quite a few have exhibited an urge for creativity.This creates a lively atmosphere in the department that is conducive to the process of teaching-learning. Weakness At this point of time the greatest weakness in the department of Bengali is its acute crisis of fulltime faculty. Two of our veteran teachers have retired very recently leaving behind a huge void. Four guest lecturers have been incorporated in the deptt who are presently struggling to adapt. Lack of experienced faculty is affecting the regular functioning of the department
141 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
in an adverse way, which we hope to overcome soon. Opportunities The sprawling space that the department of Bengali has been allotted very recently, poses great opportunity to the department. It’s much easier to organise added number of tutorial classes or extra classes, whenever the teachers or the students feel the need. We can also think of adding some more options for special papers in the PG course. Challenges The greatest challenge that the Bengali department is presently faced with, is doing academic justice to the students inspite of the acute shortage of permanent and experienced faculty. Relocating the entire departmental set up in a newly alloted space also poses a challenge before us .Absence of a proper office for coordinating PG-centred activities has been bothering the department for quite some time. We have, however got assurance from the principal that this difficulty will be addressed soon.
Future Plans Department of Bengali plans to have a journal /literary magazine of its own to create a vent for the creativitity of the students as well as that of the new brigade of guest lecturers(all of whom are phd students). We also plan to organize showing relevant documentary/ featurefilms to complement the prevailing teaching methods.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strengths Proximity to Indo-Bangladesh border provides an ideal setting for this discipline in this College Energetic and amiable faculty Enthusiastic students eager to learn the theory and practices of Defence Studies
Weakness Inadequate infrastructure prevents its further development Proper laboratory for Practical Classes is still to be arranged Progression of students cannot take place because of absence of Post-Graduate Program in Universities of West Bengal (except in the University of North Bengal) The Department is understaffed Communication with the Ministry of Defence is yet to be made
Opportunities Theoretical as well as practical knowledge for the prospective candidates for the Defence Service and other defence related jobs
Challenges To prepare students for PG studies outside the state (since the UG syllabi of the state-based universities are not at par with those of outside universities) To run practical classes without a proper laboratory Future Plans To introduce honours course in Defence Studies, To establish linkages with other research institutes – initially at state level – such as School of International Relations and Strategic Studies, Jadavpur University and Centre for Himalayan Studies, University of North Bengal, To establish linkages with academic institutions under Department of Defence, such as Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy and Officer’s Training Centre Interdisciplinary studies with active co-operation from faculty members of other relevant Departments within and outside the College

Strength 4) Mohua Chatterjee (Choudhury) is a great exponent of music. She has obtained Certificates in Rabindra Sangeet and Hindusthani Classical Music from Sangeet Bhavan, Visva Bharati.
6) Srabani Biswas is a very good orator. She often gives talks in radio .
Weakness 1) Dearth of text books in vernacular 2) The Department uses ICT on a sharing basis, which has its time limit
The students can utilise the tutorial classes to overcome their difficulties by interacting with the teachers at a more friendly atmosphere. Teachers Opportunities take remedial classes and prepare the students for various competitive examinations.
Inability of the students to follow English is a great impediment. As most of the reference books are written in English the students cannot use them Challenges freely. To make them understand the writings of great historians is a big challenge.
Department would give its students every possible opportunity to overcome all the problems they face in their study. Department will Future Plans organise regular seminars and workshops so that they can enrich themselves.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: The Journalism and Mass Communication department relies heavily on ICT classes in order to impress upon the the students the basics of media studies.Mere lecturing is never enough for a subject like ours, hence we insist on empirical training. Students find this interesting and their learning of the subject is deepened and quickened due to this application oriented approach of the department.
234 Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities: As a part of our institutional social responsibility we have tied up with the film club of our college to organise shows of documentaries that can elevate the level of social awareness not only of the students of our department, but of the general students at large.
We often invite eminent journalists to our department and request them to deliver talks on syllabus related topics. We keep such programmes open for students of other departments as well. Interaction between the participants and the speaker forms an important part of these programmes.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strengths A job oriented syllabus is the greatest strength of our department. Students are allured to study this subject because of the job prospects that the discipline has to offer. This creates greater levels of motivation among students. Weakness Lack of permanent faculty is a huge hindrance to make this department more active and receptive to the requirements of the students. Opportunities A group of motivated and energetic students offer great opportunities to the deptt, provided the basic inadequacies are addressed. Challenges Incorporating a large number of students within the space allotted to the department often becomes challenging. Lack of permanent faculty is a problem that the deptt can hardly surmount. Number of guest lecturers need to increased at earliest opportunity. Infrastructurewise, the deptt is in need of quite a few equipments,that we hope to procure soon. Future Plans Introducing honours course to the existing general course is our immediate future plan. We also hope to introduce some media oriented certificate courses in the coming years.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strength The faculty is composed of senior-experienced teacher as well as young and dynamic teachers with a researcher bend of mind. The department maintains a close and cordial relationship with students, and takes special care, both academically and financially, of the poor, first generation literate students. A special departmental fund has been created with personal donation of teachers for this. Regular debate, extempore speech completions and students’ presentations held in the department, with the use of ICT.
Weakness a) The Department uses ICT on a sharing basis, which has its time limit; b) More funds needed for buying books for Departmental Library; c) Many students come with poor and first-generation learner background.
Opportunities a) As the College is situated in a municipal locality, surrounded by rural areas, we have the opportunity to serve students with different social milieu, which is not far away from international border; b) this gives us an opportunity to study the social-political backgrounds of these areas, which are changing very fast.
Challenges In the above social background of the students, it is really a challenging task to impart the latest knowledge of political science.
Future Plans a) To develop a Research Centre within the Department for the studies of socio-political situation in the locality, and the effects of migration in the borderlands; b) to open, subject to appointment of sufficient faculties, PG Course in Political Science.
