Vidyasagar Evening College aspires to contribute in a very effective way to the cause of academic excellence and character-building. Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar remains our inspiration and his ideals give us the impetus to nurture our College and to make it an academic institution par excellence. The College has travelled a little more than half a century since its birth in the year 1961. In the initial stages of our journey we faced considerable hurdles trying to run a co- educational College in a common building along with Vidyasagar College and Vidyasagar College for Women. It was observed that compared to the two other sister Colleges, our College enjoyed only 1/6 th of space and time. This situation has been significantly remedied from last year by the construction of a new building. This has been possible due to the concerted and determined effort of the faculty members and supporting staff. Thus we can proudly affirm that the College is now in a position to compete on an equal footing with other peer institutions.

Since its inception, the Council has been endeavouring incessantly in accomplishing its mandate with profound sagacity of commitment for a spirit of coordination and consensus among various stakeholders in the field of higher education. Working in tandem with the State government for an inclusive and qualitative growth in higher education, the Council has been performing as catalyst to extend all possible support in addressing three overarching challenges: excellence, equity and expansion. The activities performed in the areas of planning and coordination, academic and advisory functions are listed in this report. The Council is also instrumental in the formation of new academic institutions, expanding and upgrading the existing ones, recommending institutions that are self-reliant in terms of quality education, professionally managed, and characterized by greater inclination towards research and provide students with edification that is relevant to them as well the nation as a whole. In an increasingly globalized society, the needs and expectations of society have been changing very fast with rising demand for quality education and greater sustainability at the desired level. Where quality of higher education rests on the quality of all its facets, be it faculty, staff, students, or infrastructure, the sustainability challenges to rethink the missions and reorganize courses, research programs, and knowledge base.

FOREWORD The present volume of Annual Report for 2009-10 of the Department of Higher Education gives an account of the activities carried out in the Deptt. along with those undertaken in different wings of the Deptt. and various autonomous organizations associated with it. The Report also presents, in brief, the facilities of the higher education available in the State. The Govt., despite its various limitations, has been taking conscious measures to uplift the status of higher education in the State, both in terms of quality and access. While making sincere efforts towards increasing Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education across the State, we have focused the backward areas of the State. We are also in the process of updating the education map of the State to priorities the need of various regions for setting up new colleges, creating new faculty positions or providing development grants. During the year 2009-10, 12 colleges of the State have been declared as “Centres with potential for excellence” by UGC. It is indeed a significant achievement for the State to have 16 such centres as on date in State Universities. Number of NAAC accredited colleges in the State has also gone up during the year.

    Self Study Report (CCCBA) 2015 1 Self Study Report (CCCBA) 2015 RAJA RAMMOHUN ROY FOUNDER OF BRAHMO SAMAJ ANANDA MOHUN BOSE PANDIT SIVANATH SASTRI FOUNDERS OF CITY COLLEGE 2 Self Study Report (CCCBA) 2015 PREFACE City College of Commerce and Business Administration is situated at the centre of Kolkata, adjacent to College Street, the nerve-centre of the educational life of the metropolis. In the middle of the greatest publishing and book-selling community of the city and in the vicinity of the University of Calcutta, the institution is most conveniently situated. With a very rich educational and cultural heritage, it goes back to a time of sweeping cultural reforms and changes in the field of education, brought about by the scholars and eminent educationists of the 19th Century Renaissance and deserves a mention here. The present –day City College started as City School , founded on January 6, 1879, by the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj. As early as in 1881, the school was raised to the rank of a college. Starting initially with B.A. classes, it introduced its Law Department in 1885, and even started M.A. , classes , which were later closed thanks to the new regulations prescribed by the University of Calcutta. The Commerce Department came up in 1939 in response to the large-scale demand among the youth of the time. In 1940 , a Commercial Museum was inaugurated ; an Employment Advisory Bureau was set up in 1942 ; and in 1945 , the Department of Commerce and Business Administration was formally introduced. From June 1 , 1961 onwards the City College Commerce Department branched off into five separate colleges , viz .

A remarkable feature of our higher education system is the balanced approach in expanding the opportunities of higher studies in liberal arts, humanities, social and basic sciences, commerce and in interdisciplinary areas along with the study in science and technology. That our efforts are definitely bearing fruits is reflected in the fact that the number of research publications per faculty in most of these disciplines in our universities compares very well by all India standard. A very large percentage of the research scholars now working in prestigious scientific establishments of our country are young graduates or postgraduates from our universities. With a view to open up new opportunities to our aspiring young generation, to increase Gross Enrolment Ratio and to reduce gender disparity, the Government has set up 22 new general degree colleges during this financial year.
