With a vision to create necessary environment for its students to take up the formidable challenges in society and to ensure social development, it has strived hard for more than 65 years. And in return it has been able to establish itself as an institution of high repute with duly recognised status of “College with Potential for Excellence” by UGC. Over the years the institution has been able to explore the hidden potentialities of the youth of not only Kalahandi district (where it is situated) but also of other districts of the State. It has produced alumni who have attained excellence as Administrator, Industrialist, Educationist, Banker, Medical practitioner, Political leader, Technocrats, Social workers, Artist, Musician, Journalist and what not. With around 2000 students intake and 80 teachers this temple of higher education was assessed by NAAC in the year 2006 and was accorded B++ status by the NAAC. Due to the apathetic attitude of the affiliating university, the institution could not submit itself for 2 nd cycle accreditation in time. With the sincere intervention of the Department of Higher Education, Govt. of Odisha, finally all relevant documents were somehow collected by the Institution and is now going to offer itself to NAAC for reaccreditation. The students, staff, parents, alumni, Government and all the patron of the institution (all the people of the backward district) are eagerly awaiting to see the grading status of the college. With high hope and to reach to the expectations of all the stake holders, the SSR (a mandatory documentary for NAAC accreditation) has been prepared by the NAAC preparatory committee. The SSR has been compiled on the basis of the available data and prevailing institutional system where in nothing has been manipulated, fabricated and no part of the volume has been borrowed even. The facts and figures, enumerated in the SSR are original and actual in nature. I hope the SSR which has been prepared as per the NAAC guidelines will definitely serve the accreditation rigour of the NAAC. With humble submission I submit the SSR for the purpose of NAAC accreditation on 27-01-2016 putting below my own signature and seal.
