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
The College has inculcated several Best Practices. First of all the college focused on soft skills and spoken English since all the students are from rural area and they lack language strength particularly English. The workshop conducted for 10 days with different resource persons helped a lot to instill confidence of amongst students.
Conducting workshops on literary activities such as story writing, preparing notes on important articles published in newspapers, writing reviews on books etc., could impart self-confidence and also helped in developing multidisciplinary approach in understanding the subjects. 1. Distributing books and magazines to the students and get writings about the read books and Magazines. 2. Spoken English and Soft skills classes. 3. Health camps 4. Legal awareness programmes 5. Blood Donation camps 6. Karate and Awareness camps for girls.
I Practice:
1. Title of the Practice: Spoken English and Soft skills.
2. Goal: 1. To strengthen the language skill 2. To make them employable 3. Make the rural students more confident. 4. To enable the students to understand the needs of the society.
3. Context: In the Present employment scenario the language skills and soft skills play a very important role. Keeping in view the need of rural youth, the institution has arranged Spoken English classes and Soft skill classes once in a year to all the students. Self Study Report - 2014 96
Government First Grade College, Hebbur, Tumkur
4. The Practice: The classes were conducted on regular basis for ten days utilizing the resources from the neighbouring colleges. The participation of the students is really encouraging and their level of confidence increased to a great extent. The inhibition about English could be wiped out and they started conversing in English. This is really an achievement in a rural college.
5. Evidence of Success: The feed back obtained from the students confirm our expectations. They are very much influenced by the classes and the resource persons. They started responding in English without any inhibition.
6. Problems Encountered: The main problem is of resource persons. But with the best efforts of the Principal and the Department of English, it was a grant success. The study material could not be provided to all the students, due to dearth of funds. No separate funds were sanctioned for the purpose by the Department.
Contact Details: Prof. S.V. Srihari, Asst. Professor of English, GFGC Hebbur
II Practice:
Distributing books/magazines/articles to different groups of students and ask them to write reviews/opinions.
1. Title of the Project: Converse with the books
2. Goal: 1. To develop the reading habit among the students 2. Enrich the students through multi-disciplinary approach and to develop social political and cultural awareness
3. The context: Generally the students limit themselves to text books. To understand even the prescribed text one has to adopt multidisciplinary approach. Also to know what is going on in and around the society, the students need to know it through other learning resources. To provide them an opportunity to respond to the present day socio-cultural and political developments, this is found to be more useful. Practice: Magazines/important articles/books are distributed among the groups for a stipulated period and they are asked to
Self Study Report - 2014 97
Government First Grade College, Hebbur, Tumkur
present their views in written form and also orally in group discussions. They are encouraged through cash prizes etc . The response of the students is overwhelming.

Providing many no. of same books etc., is the only problem. Rest can be managed.
