conducting certificate courses in spoken and written English and personality

development; starting science courses; acquiring 2(f) & 12(B) status; feedback



collection from students and other stakeholders; commitment shown by the

teachers in assisting and mentoring students. The peer team has also made

some valuable recommendations for better and improved functioning of the

college. The peer team concluded their report by expressing the strong

conviction that the evaluative process and its outcome would be of great use to

the institution in its race towards progress.

recommendations made by the NAAC Peer Team in its report the college has

had significant growth in terms of Building and Infrastructure, student

strength, and academic programmes being offered.

1.1.2How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate through specific example(s).

College is affiliated to University of Mysore. The institution follows the curriculum designed by University. At the beginning of every academic year, meeting of all the departments are held to chalk out an academic calendar which includes academic and other co-curricular activities to be conducted during the year under the able directions of the Principal. In turn the departmental heads ensure the effective implementation of decisions taken at the meeting with the help of supporting and ministerial staff.

The action plan at the individual, departmental and college level is prepared based upon the outcomes of the preliminary meetings conducted as above. The same is assigned to each and every staff by fixing responsibility in respect of timely and effective completion of the syllabus. If, for any reason, a faculty fails to finish his/her syllabi within the stipulated time, he/she arranges extra classes for his/her subject.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?

The university specifies the curriculum to be taught by a teacher, duration of the session, the date of commencement of practical and theory examinations and so on. The institution receives regular circulars, letters and e-mails from the university regarding the changes or modifications in the curriculum. The Principal informs the concerned teachers about the changes. Whenever the university makes changes in the syllabi, it organises workshops/orientation programmes to educate the faculty on the changes. The institution encourages the faculty to participate in all such programmes.

The faculty members of the institution are allowed to suggest for the purchase of books, reference books, journals of their subject as per their requirement. The faculty members can also avail the facilities such as computer, internet, photo copying, printing, scanning, well-furnished classrooms, AV room, LCD, DVD player, OHP, library facility etc., available in the college for effective knowledge transformation. Faculty also enrich themselves by attending orientation program, refresher courses, seminars, workshops & training in their field, and training in computer software. 1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutory agency.

At the very beginning of the academic year, the principal calls the meeting of all the faculty members and discusses the curriculum of each course and the department and asks the heads of the departments to prepare plans for the effective and on-time completion of the curriculum. The time-



table committee prepares the time-table after discussing with all the heads of the departments.

Conventional and modern methods are used in the teaching-learning process. The college has library consisting of good number of academic, general, reference books and journals catering to the needs of students and staff covering a wide range of subjects. Computer and Internet access are provided to the faculty so that they can keep themselves updated in their respective subjects. Well-furnished laboratories are available for the Science subjects. Problem solving exercises, field studies/visits, case studies, surveys and excursions including industrial visits are taken up regularly to make learning more effective. The progress is regularly monitored by the Heads of the Departments to facilitate effective curriculum delivery and transaction. 1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as industry, research bodies and the university in effective operationalisation of the curriculum?

The institution constantly keeps in touch with the university by regular formal and informal meetings throughout the academic year. Professors from the University and other affiliated colleges are invited for discussions, workshops and for academic interactions with the faculty members. Many new things are acquired and also communicated by our faculty members during Board of Studies/Board of Examination meetings in the University. Faculty members participate in workshops, seminars and conferences at State, National and International levels. This inculcates in them the ability for curriculum development and its effective delivery. The College collaborates with NGOs, other Institutions and the University in organizing seminars and workshops which address the curriculum directly or indirectly. The departments and the Career Counseling Cell of the college organize programmes related to various disciplines with different agencies. 1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff members to the development of the curriculum by the University? (Number of staff members/ departments represented on the Board of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback provided, specific suggestions etc).

University of Mysore is designing curriculum for the degree courses with help of expert faculty members and institution follow the curriculum designed by the University. Several faculty from the institution are members of the Board of Studies and Board of Examination of University. They take active part in framing, modifying and the implementation of the university syllabi. The university organizes workshops, and seminars with all faculty members in different capacities from different colleges affiliated to the university where information and feedback for appropriate inclusion are also discussed.

Manavathe –It is a programme which aims to help students realise the constructive value of humanism. The objectives of this program are to instill universal human values, to inculcate holistic well-being, to develop healthy inter and intra personal relationships and to cultivate secular and patriotic sensibilities.

HosaHejje -During 2009, the Department of Collegiate Education with a workscape covering even the most backward areas of the state, decided to usher in a welcome change through a skill training programme ‘HosaHejje’. This initiative under Public-Private Partnership was meant for improving soft skills amongst the students of Government First Grade colleges.

HosaHejje’ had three components: 1. Angla - A language empowering course for I year students, aimed at improving English communication skills. 2. Vikasana - A holistic wellness program for II year students focussed on confidence building, developing healthy interpersonal relationships and to ensure that youth face modern day pressures successfully. 3. Sahayog - An industry-academia venture for imparting employability skills to the final year students to inculcate professionalism amongst them. NaipunyaNidhi – With the intent of taking this skill development programme to a new level, a novel initiative titled ‘NaipunyaNidhi’ was conceptualised during 2013-14. This program is aimed at crafting new opportunities, improving the self-image and imparting employability skills to the students, a sizeable number of who are from the disadvantaged socio-economic background. NaipunyaNidhi is an inclusive training module for all students of undergraduate program. NaipunyaNidhi has training programmes rich in content, delivered using novel teaching tools like EDUSAT.

•The first year students are trained in communication English. Conversational and writing skills are honed through intense training in form and functions of the language.

• The second year students are trained in social skills and Indian culture. This training template aims at helping the students develop self-respect, healthy relationship, emotional intelligence, goal-setting and time



management, leadership qualities and creates awareness about values and ethics.

Blood donation camps NSS annual camps.



Honoring meritorious students, achievers in different fields like sports, literature and cultural activities etc. and college toppers on special occasions.

Celebration of National Festivals, birthdays of great leaders to create national integration and belongingness.

Problems encountered and recourses required Lack of financial resources. Non availability of financial resources to

conduct the programs is a major drawback. In order to enhance the quality of programs, financial support is essential.

Lack of time space- as the institution is following a scheduled curriculum and time table, there is lack of time table to initiate more programs.

Lack of transportation facilities: for the actual training and demonstrations many times the student beneficiates have to be taken to the working spot. Adequate transportation facilities results in more positive outcome.

In spite of the problems encountered and lack of resources, the institution is able to get positive results.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength: (1) Availability of full-fledged faculty with experience. (2) Department activities are mostly interdisciplinary with Kannada & Political Science, Sociology & History subjects. (3) Availability of enough books pertaining to curriculum & general books as well as communicative English. Weakness: (1) Absenteeism of the students, especially after 2.30 pm. (2) Kannada medium students find the curriculum difficult because of their lack of basic grammar skills. Opportunities: (1) Department can benefit the students by increased use of visual teaching aids & by conducting Spoken English Workshops. There is a scope for



more interactive classes. (2) Group discussions can improve results. (3) Student interest can be increased by inter-departmental exchange Seminars/programmes. Challenges: (1) Students’ drop-out may increase owing to failing in the 1st semester. (2) Students lack concentration due to the difficulty of the texts prescribed. (3) Proximity of the college to Mysore city may result in a decrease in admission of bright students. (4) It is a real challenge to teach literature texts as language texts : by converting them to fit the needs of the present generation. The texts presently prescribed are not catering to today’s needs of the students.
