For us NAAC accreditation is important because it gives us an opportunity for self-analysis as well as it gives us an identity as an accredited academic institution. NAAC accreditation ensures quality and enables an institution to receive grants from both Govt. and semi Govt. agencies which is essential for ensuring a better infrastructure that would promote better higher education and research. Keeping in view the NAAC recommendations in 2007, we have revised our action plans for the development of this college so that our college would play an effective role in the field of higher education for women in this area. The college has been receiving all types of assistance and co-operation from UGC, DPI, Zilla Parishad, District Magistrate, MPs and other public representatives to carry out all developmental works. We are also grateful to Ms Gouri Adhikari Biswas, formerly Associate Professor and Head, Dept. of Economics of this college, for her generous donation of Rs. 30 Lakh which was a great contribution to the construction of First floor of Science Building of this college. I would also like to acknowledge the sincere service of all my Teaching and Non- Teaching staff and the enthusiasm of my students which has immensely contributed to the steady growth of our institution till date.
