HOTILAL RAMNATH COLLEGE, AMNOUR (JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA) SELF STUDY REPORT
About us he genesis of this premier educational institution of higher studies in this for flung rural area ‘Amnour’ of Saran Commissionary goes back Tto 1960. Amnour is a small block level township thickly inhabited with backward & marginal cross-section of community with illiterate masses. Its economy is totally dependent on agriculture. During the 50’s decade there were no any centre of higher education in this rural area, poor farmers of this area could not able to provide higher education to their wards, since they have to send their wards to main township of chapra which is about 40 km from Amnour and they were not in a position to bear the expenses.
There is pond in Amnour, of Hindu religious importance called Badka Pokhar (Big Pond) ‘Amrit Sarovar’. It is being said that this pond was dug by demons in one night. In Oct. 1959 a saint Swami Bharat Dasjee organized a huge Mahavishnu Yagya (egkfo’.kq ;K) on the bank of this Amrit Sarovar. A good amount of revenue was collected from devotees in this yagya. A needbased idea came in the mind of local intellectuals and social workers that “why not to utilized this revenue in establishing a centre of higher education” and they put up this proposal to Swami Bharat Dasjee, and Swamijee instantly became ready for this pious venture and started motivating the local elites of social concerns to come forward and enthusiastically take up this pious venture with generous donations. A famous businessman of Amnour Sri Ramnath Sahujee come forward and took this pious venture with the help of local socially concerned elites. He also generously donated three acres of land for the purpose. The local socially concerned elites who enthused Sri Ramnath Sahujee and actively participated in establishment of this college were Sri Ram Narayan Singh, Sri Kashi Nath Prasad Srivastava, Dr. Bhagwat Prasad, Sri Braj Madhav Prasad Singh, Sri Yamuna Prasad Singh, Sri Dharm Nath Singh, Sri Kumar Vijay Singh, Sri Vikramaditya Singh, Sri Dina Nath Singh, Sri Magni Singh, Sri Ramjee Prasad ‘Ashok’ and Sri Kedar Tiwari. Finally this college came in existence on 16th January 1960, its name was derived with combination of names of late father of Sri Ramnath Sahujee “Hotilal” and his own name “Ramnath” thus a named coined for this college “Hotilal Ramnath College” . Now popularly known as H. R. College, Amnour.
Initially this college got 67 students on roll, gradually the college received a new life and gained a new dimension. In year 1962 it got affiliation from Bihar University, Muzaffarpur for teaching upto graduation level in faculty of Arts, which was later on endorsed by Dept. of higher education, Govt. of Bihar in 1965. On 16th .Jan 1968 Sri Gopi Raman Rawat a senior most professor of History Dept. from R. K. College, Madhubani took charge as principal of this college and his arrival and taking change as principal has been proved a milestone in the growth journey of this college.

He also exerted efforts and got started teaching of Honours in Hindi and History.

HOTILAL RAMNATH COLLEGE, AMNOUR (JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA) SELF STUDY REPORT
A Preface Before the establishment of this Hotilal Ramnath College in 1960, there were not a single institution for collegiate education in the whole of Marhowrah sub. Division i.e in the radius of 50 km. of Amnour area. As such students of this rural area had to go to Chapra the district headquarters of Saran about 40 km. from Amnour, and in doing so, the poor students were unable to pursue higher studies, even though they were brilliant in studies and had high potential for a better and bright future. With a view to impart higher education to the progressive youths of this spiritually, historically, politically and commercially rich Amnour block, this college has been established on 16th. Jan. 1960 and for this credit, goes to the pragmatic vision of a local prestigious businessman Late Ramnath Sahujee and some of local intellectuals and social workers. Every house of Amnour area generously donated in cash or kind for establishment of this college. The college has tried to maintain its ideals and tradition. We believe in “We all are responsible for making a civic society. We should try our best to be a man and make a man.” Sustained and dedicated efforts of the Administrative staff, faculty members, students, parents, Alumni and other stakeholders are its strength and all have contributed to make the college one of the best in this rural northern region of the state. It has been constantly augmenting its physical and, IT infrastructure to enhance teaching learning standards with inculcation of nationality, global competencies, ethical & moral values, technopro and quest of holistic excellence. Quality, they say is a journey, not a destination. It is in pursuance of this wisdom that we have embarked upon the present endeavor of seeking NAAC Accreditation. The other value that weighs in our minds is that accreditation is but an affirmation of the quality culture that is built on the edifice of institutional values and through implicit and explicit practices. The endeavor has brought to our consciousness and several good things that we have been doing without explicit expression and certification thereof. It has also brought to several opportunities where we could attempt to excel. We are extremely pleased to submit this Self Study Report of our college for accreditation exercise. By this humble submission, we offer ourselves for quality inspection to serve better in future by getting accreditation. This Self Study Report has been prepared as per the norms set by NAAC and gives an insight into our efforts of scaling new heights and raising the bar in future. The multifaceted achievements of our students recorded in our report bears testimony to the effectiveness of our new endeavors. May the Quality Education, we import to our students in Hotilal Ramnath College, Amnour enlighten their minds and enthuse their hearts towards our motto “Try your best to be a man and make a man”

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate through specific example(s).
The college follows the course/syllabus curriculum designed and developed by the Jai Prakash University, Chapra. At the beginning of every academic year, all the departments chalk out an inhouse academic calendar and lesson plan which includes lecture hours, topics to be taught with their sequence and other academic co-curricular activities to be conducted during the year. The heads of the departments distribute the syllabi with assigned lesson plan among the faculty members. The faculty members are also given academic diaries, in which they chalk out their teaching plans for the term, to complete the syllabi within stipulated time. If, for any reason, a faculty member fails to finish his/her syllabi within the stipulated time, he/she arranges extra classes for his/her subject. All these activities are cared and monitored by IQAC of the college.
1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?
· The heads of the department prepares Academic plan that specifies the curriculum to be taught by a teacher, duration of the session, internal academic co-curricular activities to be conducted, this helps the teacher to carry on the syllabi in a structured way. The college receives regular circulars, letters and e-mails from the university, regarding the changes or modifications in the curriculum & seminars or workshop organized on certain topics. The principal informs the concerned teachers about the information received from the university. Thus the faculty members receive all sorts of support from the university and college to understand the curriculum properly and its delivery mechanism.
· When university implements new patterns of the syllabi, the University organizes workshops for effective implementation of the curriculum for the teachers. The college encourages its faculty to participate in such workshops.

It is very unfortunate that there is acute shortage of faculty members in the HEIs in Bihar. We are also facing this problem. In our college there is not even a single teacher of many subjects. This creates a hurdle in the way of effective curriculum delivery. However, the faculty members try their best to complete the syllabus in time by engaging regular as well as extra classes. We take help (Without any financial involvement) from post-graduate degree holders, Ph.D. scholars and alumni of the college, They provide us voluntary service.
· The curriculum delivery method includes regular classroom lectures and laboratory sessions. Tutorial / Remedial classes are an essential part of classroom teaching. · Departmental seminars and lecture series are periodically organized which helps in effective curriculum delivery.
1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as industry, research bodies and the university in effective operationalisation of the curriculum?
· The college regularly networks and interacts with beneficiaries such as companies, research bodies and the university in effective operationalization of the curriculum through lectures, workshops, seminars, talks, discussions and receives feedbacks from them curricula are partially supplemented during class – room teaching with the recent research findings.
· We also get motivated to take up research projects initiated by the UGC, CSIR, DST etc. Faculty members on their own also keep on interacting with various research bodies and participate in various research projects.

HOTILAL RAMNATH COLLEGE, AMNOUR (JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA) SELF STUDY REPORT
The another best practice namely Career Counseling and Skill Development is one of the best contributions of the college to improve the quality of the students in the employment market. Courses like BCA & Technique development for soil testing and PH value determination have contributed a lot for all round development of the students. A part from all these practices the best practices which our college started are:
i) Extension Activity for students. ii) Career Counseling & skill Development
FORMAT FOR PRESENTATION OF PRACTICE
BEST PRACTICE – I
1. Title of the practice : Extension Activity for Students
2. Goal: Extension activities are made mandatory for the students to promote community linkage, social responsibility, interaction with the downtrodden people and to know their problems. Lastly to make efforts to solve or minimize their problems.
3. The Context: Today most of the students are ignorant about the problems of the society where they live. Most of the students are brought up in such an atmosphere, in which joint family systems have become a thing for the past. Hence it is the duty of the institution to inculcate the knowledge to them about the social life and its significance. Students must be sensitized about the society through their involvement in social activities.
4. The Practices:The units of NSS, Red Ribbon Club are working in the college. A large number of students involve in the activities of such voluntary organizations. Their involvement in different social activities like Field Work, Organizing Camps like AIDS awareness, De-addiction, Cancer awareness, Serving lepers colony, Promoting and enrolling members for Blood Donation, Participation in awareness programme against Child labour, Drug addiction, use of Junk food, Participation in awareness programme for Gender Sensitization, drive against domestic violence, and other social evils, Serve the people affected by the natural calamities etc.

5. Evidence of Success: The students realized the challenges of the modern systems, where the social and economic conditions of the people, especially the downtrodden, are in wretched conditions. Students participation in various socio-cultural activities has greatly influenced them. They understands the significance of such activities in their social life.
6. Problems Encountered and Resource Required: Resource Mobilization, Non-cooperation of the rural people in extending social services For undertaking different programmes of NSS, financial requirements are needed, but due to financial constraints camp for social services in rural areas are not organized in regular basis. It should be a continuous process for improving the awareness programmes among the rural population.
BEST PRACTICE – II
1.Title of the practice: Career Counseling & Skill Development.
2. Goal : To prepare the students to be successful in job market to shape the students to achieve core competencies to face local demand and also global requirements. To develop human resources for national growth to build the capacity of students in communication skills, group discussion as well as improve the presentation skills.
3. The Context: The different employers or even the corporate world lament that majority of students who come from seeking job are not employable for the lack of skills. Students who are from rural background and the first generation learners are very weak in communication skill and general knowledge or about their career. Hence the college authority realizes this problem of the students and started to launch a Career Counseling and Placement cell in the College. The cell is functioning properly for the last five years in the college.
4. The Practices: Considering the mediocre students in communication skills, English Language Lab is established in the college. The regular training for students in English Language Lab has made a good impact. The Lab is handled by the expert team with a view to strengthen the communication skill in English. The Career Counseling and the Placement cell have also made a tremendous impact on the career building of
Page 148 of 226
HOTILAL RAMNATH COLLEGE, AMNOUR (JAI PRAKASH UNIVERSITY, CHAPRA) SELF STUDY REPORT
the students. The placement cell of the college arrange pre-placement training by conducting group discussion, mock-Interview, Aptitude test as well as counseling in logical reasoning.
5. Evidence of Success: An analysis of the feedback obtained from the students and the guardians on the usefulness and relevance of the skill development through Career –Counseling and Placement Cell, shows that they appreciate this innovative system adopted in the college. The Placement cell is also very much optimistic with the performance of the students in the Campus recruitment drive. A number of students placed in different organizations. Even the students of other colleges are benefitted by facing the Campus recruitment organized by our college. Guardians and the students try to take admission in our college so that they may get such facility, which is being imparted in our college.
6. Problems Encountered and Resource Required: Most of the students belong to the first Generation learner, hence they have to face difficulty in grasping power, concentration and interest in such classes. Shortage of professionally trained teachers to handle English language Lab. Financial Constraints, as no fund is earmarked for its development. Competent teachers, well prepared study materials, facility for conducting on-line tests are required for successful implementation of this practice. Hence, two best practices adopted in the college has contributed to the better academic and administrative functioning of the college.
