EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Criterion-wise analysis of our college clearly reveals our strengths as well as weaknesses, certain aspects of pride as well as some areas of challenge. The college is determined not to avail of temporary makeshift arrangements to hide its deficiencies but work incessantly in the quest of academic excellence.

The college had been established in 1999, propelled by the need for an institution of higher learning in the area. The philanthrophic contributions of local residents and educations enabled the construction of one tile-roofed shade. This humble beginning has eventually led to the development of separate multi-storeyed buildings for office, academic, vocational and residential purposes. In the initial years, it was guided by Dr. Ramchandra Mondal as a Teacher-in-Charge. Dr. Asim Kumar Manna took over as the Principal in January, 2001. Under his leadership, the college has blossomed into a proficient workshop of man-making. It has not only fostered the study of humanities but also diversified into science subjects like Aquaculture, Zoology, Botany and Anthropology. It has focused on a holistic view of education and has responded to local demands. It has developed departments like those of Music and Physical Education as a response to local demands. Also, the college has developed an active Vocational Wing, teaching courses on Computer, Electronics and Healthcare. It has also contributed in grooming the youth as patriotic citizens and has consistently engendered participants for the National Cadet Corps and National Service Scheme.

The college has developed its niche in the area of Khejuri and has upheld its vision of developing as a sanctum of higher education for the students of the coastal area of the Purba Medinipur district, especially for the predominantly scheduled caste population of the region. It has tried to foster a friendly intercourse between the teachers and students. Diversifying into fields of study which would be helpful for the students of the area, the competent faculty members have tried to integrate theoretical learning with practical and interactive education. We have been conscious about the need for implanting seeds of responsible citizenship in the hearts of our students.

Over the years, the college has organized several National and State Level seminars and hence has contributed to the edifice of contemporary academic learning. Research projects have been carried out in several disciplines. Further, the college has served as an important initiator for research in local customs, ecological diversity and lifestyle. The college has served its role as the disseminator of social awareness. The college, under the leadership of the Principal, has taken positive steps in the preservation of floral and faunal life of the area. The Department of Aquaculture Management and Technology has taken credible steps in the preservation of endangered species of the region. The region has considerable ecological importance and witnesses the migration of rare birds from Galapagos Islands. Being one of the early centres of colonialism in the sub-continent, it also experienced consequences of such encounters. The Portuguese brought the germs of malaria in the region. In this day of globalization, it is important for the college to serve as a disseminator of scientific knowledge and information. It has frequently held blood donation camps, eye check-up camps and seminars, informing local residents about HIV-AIDS, thalassemia and other social concerns. College students have won accolades at the district and state levels in various sports disciplines, thus embodying the virtues of ‘mens sana in corpora sano’. KHEJURI COLLEGE Page 2

KHEJURI COLLEGE Page 25

NAAC- Self Study Report (I Cycle)

 Economically weaker section - There is no provision for reservation of seats for students from economically weaker section. However, once a student from this section gets admitted, the college authority extends every kind of support to such students to encourage them to complete the course. To reflect the national commitment to inclusion of the economically weaker section of the society, various stipends and scholarships are awarded by the College on the basis of merit cum means. Free studentship (full/half) is awarded by the Government of West Bengal to needy and deserving candidates on the recommendation of the Principal.

The Context : Khejuri College is delivering services to large number of rural backward students belonging mostly to SC community, around 1300 in number. The college is spread over 10 acres of land with different teaching blocks accommodating 14 departments beside administrative building, P.G.(D.D.E.) study centre of the Vidyasagar University, collEge library, laboratories. Clerical staff working in the college falls short of the actual requirement. To process admission, fee collection, examination and other works of students is a tremendous task which can hardly be efficiently coped existing clerical staff. The myriad demands of reporting, accounting and documentation require a flexible digitalized system. Under the circumstances it was planned to implement the scheme of e-administration.

The Practice: E-administration is being implemented in gradual manner, Management and Admission System software is specially designed to cover the various administrative and financial tasks of the college as per university statutes, Circulars and directives of the State Government. Admission pay roll, fees collection and accounting reports generation, audit report generation are to be implemented in the first stage. Staff working in the sections were motivated and trained with some incentives. Now these sections are about to be computerized and managed by a small number of clerical staff. In the second stage, college library would be linked to the Server. A specially designed software developed by Aidni Infortech Limited, which controls accession of books, cataloguing, issue and return of the books and finally generates no dues report to each and every student through a digitalized process— would be used.

Evidence of success: Implementation of e-administration has been initiated through the technological help from Aidni Infotech. Admission process has become easy and user friendly. Due to the use of Admission Software, the process of selection on merit basis under various categories has become more transparent. Fees collection and timely deposit of cash would be smooth and hackle free. Daily accounts register, audit and other reports are automatically generated. Salary reports are generated without error in time by means of our own software and the COSA, the software provided by the State Government for financial management. Repetitive generation of various types of reports demanded by the University, State Government, Central Government and other agencies like UGC can be prepared quite easily. Besides this our college has initiated the whole process of lending books in the library by digitizing the system

Problems encountered and Resources Required: The college has faced a major challenge of popularizing the new technology among employees accustomed to old manual practice. The Clerical Staff had to be informed and made acquainted with the new technology. Training Programme for college staff by computer professionals has eased the process.
