II. Criterion-wise Inputs

CRITERION-WISE INPUTS


17

Criterion-wise Inputs Criterion I: Curricular Aspects 1. How are the college mission and goals, if any (other than the general transmission

and generation of knowledge), reflected through the curricula? The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College was founded in 1949 to fulfill the aspirations of the youth of the northern parts of the then Dakshina Kannada District which till then could boast of only two colleges, both situated in Mangalore. The visionary, Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai who cured not only physical ailments but also social ones, dreamt of bettering the life of his people by bringing opportunities to their doors. Thus the concept of Education at doorstep was translated into a reality, when this College was finally established in the practically rural environment of Udupi. The starting of the College was a trial of the strength of the Academy of General Education and the grit of its founder Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai who was convinced that a college in the area would open the doors of the fortune of many otherwise handicapped young men. This first ever College to be started by the Academy of General Education is now an impressive complex of structures built over the past five decades.

As an affiliated college, the institution is not in a position to introduce any courses independently or to introduce changes in the existing syllabi unilaterally. It is primarily in administering the courses in accordance with the syllabi approved and adopted by the University, the College has shown its merit – by providing qualified and motivated faculty, adequate infrastructure and facilities. It is in the organization of curricular and extra-curricular activities that the College has shown its originality and creative ability.

But even in the matter of the curricula, the College has not just mechanically adopted the syllabi or introduced courses indiscriminately. It is in the choice of the stream, the courses and the combinations that the College strove to impart both knowledge and skill to students so that they could be useful as employees and responsible citizens of the nation.

The courses in all the three streams of Arts, Commerce and Science were introduced to

increase the potential for employment and to ensure the participation of the youth of this part


18

of the Country in as many areas of nation building activity as possible. It was in adopting

employment oriented courses/ subjects that the needs of the youth were kept in view.

Optional English was introduced decades ago, as in those days, teachers specialized in

English were in demand everywhere. Statistics was introduced keeping in mind its role as a

potential employment generator. The introduction of Home Science, Computer Sciences, and

Vocational B.Com had also the same purpose of serving the needs of the time.

In the matter of framing syllabi and revising them periodically, the College has provided the

support by way of providing experts. Often recommendations were made for revision of

syllabi through resolutions made in seminars, teachers’ meets, etc. The Departments of

English, Statistics, Commerce and Computer Science have organized symposia and

workshops to deliberate on the existing syllabi and to suggest reforms.

The Heads of Departments and senior Professors have been in the Board of Studies of the

University and in this capacity they have actively worked in the framing and revision of

syllabi in various courses. And for the effective administration of the syllabi, they have

produced teaching material also (lecture notes), text books, selected appropriate

bibliography, and prepared question banks for the purpose of helping students. And to

inculcate the habit of independent reading, consultation and communication, students have

been encouraged to write assignments, participate in discussions as often as feasible, consult

reference books, present papers in seminars, encouraged to produce charts, take up project

works and graphical representation for the purpose of exhibitions etc. Though the role of the

College is not spectacular in the matter of syllabus making, it has not lagged behind in its

most effective implementation in the classrooms.

SELF-ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTION Preface The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College (M. G. M. College) named after the father of the nation, was founded by Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai in 1949 at Udupi, the temple town of coastal Karnataka, famous for the Sri Krishna Temple and Udupi Hotels spread all over the country. In modern times it has become a centre for Higher Education, thanks to the University Campus of Manipal - The Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), a Deemed to be University of International repute is just 2 k.m. away from this College Campus.

The M.G.M. College was the pioneer among the institutions of higher education started by Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai. The success he made of this College paved the way for the starting of a number of schools, Arts and Science Colleges, Medical Colleges and Hospitals, Engineering College, Pharmacy College, Dental College and a host of others at Manipal and other places of the district and neighbouring districts. A doctor, banker, educationist and above all, a man of rare foresight, Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai was responsible for transforming the bald hills of Sagri (where M.G. M College is located) and Manipal to a sprawling complex of a number of educational institutions, hospitals and banks. He turned the rocky hills to a beautiful garden in which Colleges of every hue and colour, a super speciality hospital, an innovative bank, a premier printing press, and reputed groups of publication, - came up by his farsightedness. As a fitting tribute he was awarded the title of Padmashree by the Government of India during his life time and recently a commemorative stamp was also brought out by the Government of India during the Golden Jubilee celebration of the College in the year 2000.

The College was started to fulfil the aspirations of the youth of the northern parts of the then South Kanara district (Dakshina Kannada District) which till then could boast of only two Colleges both situated in Mangalore. The College that started in the premises of the Municipal Primary School in the town of Udupi in 1949 was then shifted to the present campus in 1951. Since then the College has grown by leaps and bounds and is now a vast campus of 46 acres of almost a single stretch owned by the College Trust. By spreading


298

knowledge and skills through education, this College and other colleges that followed it, contributed to the liberation of youth.

In the course of its development, the College has become a means of emancipation of women also. The College had to fight to admit lady students during its inception. The then Madras University was unwilling to allow lady students to be admitted to the College and the famous “Shantha versus University of Madras Case” was fought on the question of equality of rights ensured by the Indian Constitution. The matter, then in the court of Governor Sri Prakash, could be settled in favour of girls with the intervention of Smt. Indira Gandhi who was then only the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India. Those were the days of Herculean struggle and those were the days of gratifying reward as the College has acted as liberating force for women. Perhaps no one could have foreseen then, that a day would come when the girl students would outnumber the boys in this College, which is a fact in the present years. The strength of lady students in the recent years is greater than that of boys.

Students of those days to the north of Mangalore could hardly dream of higher education before the starting of this College. The College worked as a mighty lever which lifted the people of this region from the abyss of ignorance, backwardness and neglect and gave them a sense of pride, dignity and self-respect. Women in this region, steeped deep in superstitions, ignorance and diffidence, then gained a new sprit of independence and ventured into careers, till then unknown.

This College has grown into a premier educational institution over the years. The College has been imparting education in Arts, Science and Commerce at pre-university and degree levels for the last 53 years and has earned a high reputation for its academic programmes in particular and cultural activities in general. Apart from the formal type of education it also offers a number of programmes of promoting the arts, literature, linguistics, folk art and research.

The College is presently managed by a Trust which consists of following persons:

Dr. K. Mohandas Pai (President) Sri K. K. Pai (Correspondent) Dr. A. Krishna Rao (Member) Sri T. Mohandas Pai (Member)


299

Dr. Ramdas M. Pai (Member) Dr. H. Shantaram (Member) Prof. K. Ganapathi Bhat (Principal and Secretary)

The College offers the following programmes: (a) B.A degree programme with three different combinations, (b) B.Sc degree with four different combinations, (c) B.Com degree with two combinations, (d) a Post graduate Diploma in Computer Education, (e) Certificate, Junior Diploma and Senior Diploma Courses in German Language, (f) Diploma Courses in Yakshagana, a folk art and (g) Ph.D Programme in Area Studies.

Apart from the above, Two-year Pre-University courses in Arts, Science and Commerce and Two Year Pre-University Job-oriented Vocational Courses are offered in M. G. M. Pre-University College working in the same campus. A Karnataka Open University Study Centre also functions in the College Campus.

The College is of affiliating non-autonomous type with grant-in-aid support from the State Government. The College is recognized under section 2(f) of U.G.C Act, ever since the implementation of this Act. The College started under Madras University, later got affiliated to Karnataka University in 1957, soon after the States’ reorganisation came into effect. In 1958, the College was shifted to the lap of Mysore University at the instance of the State Government; finally the College was affiliated to Mangalore University, when this University came into existence in 1980.

In accordance with the order of Karnataka Government, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College was bifurcated into separate units of a Degree and a PU College in the year 2000. Since then, both the wings have been working in the same campus, sharing the infrastructural facilities, including library, playgrounds, etc.

At present, the College has a student strength of 978 (343 boys, 635 girls) apart from 1060 in PU courses (508 boys and 552 girls). The College has 30 members of faculty drawing UGC scales of pay who teach degree classes and in addition 50 members of staff are teaching degree and PU classes. The College has a supporting staff of 18 in Degree College, five members work in RG Pai Samshodhana Kendra, 10 work in RRC and 07 in Yakshagana Kendra.


300

Among the members of the faculty seven have Ph.D, and ten have M.Phil as their highest qualification. Apart from this, the Research Guides in the R. G Pai Samshodhana Kendra and the Director of Regional Resource Centre are Ph.D holders. Three members have submitted their thesis for the award of Ph.D degree, three members working in undergraduate departments are doing research for Ph.D as part timers and nine have registered for Ph.D programme in R.G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra as on this date.

The College has turned out excellent results year after year, also bagging University ranks, and has stood for quality education. Actually no year has passed without this College getting ranks at the University examinations. In addition to achieving excellence in curricular programmes, the College by its myriad activities and programmes has grown as an active cultural centre.

Actually the College has become a byword for cultural activities. Dramas, music, folk performances like Yakshagana, National and International Conferences, seminars, workshops, drama competitions and special lectures are held almost every day. The campus is always buzzing with activities involving students and the public alike.

The College lays considerable emphasis on all round development of students by organizing speeches by eminent persons, quiz and competitions under the auspices of various club activities throughout the year. Musical festivals, inter-collegiate competitions like “Comfest”, “Spectra” are organized every year. The College has made a mark by organizing extra curricular and co-curricular activities also.

The College has responded to the changing needs of the time and has started new courses from time to time. English Literature and Kannada Literature as major subjects were introduced long back. The College has introduced Home Science as a major subject at degree level and later at PUC level for girl students. It has recently established a Computer Science Department and it is housed in a separate spacious building. The Department offers courses at degree and PG levels besides at PU level. It also holds courses outside regular hours for the benefit of interested public, interested students and the staff. The job-oriented vocational B.Com course has been a more recent addition.

The Rashtrakavi Govinda Pai Samshodhana Kendra, a research institute of this College established in 1965, offers facilities for doctoral research. Built around the nucleus of a


301

unique collection of 5,000 volumes in 23 languages belonging to the library of the late poet laureate Sri Manjeshwara Govind Pai, the Centre organizes research in regional history, literature, languages, folk culture etc. It has brought out a voluminous Tulu Lexicon (Six Volumes), a rare dialect dictionary for the local Tulu language in a 18 year-project supported by the Karnataka Government.

The Regional Resources Centre for Folk Performing Arts (RRC), started in 1983, with the aid of Ford Foundation, has built up a sophisticated archival treasure collected in ambitious documentation projects. The RRC of the College has gathered rich documentation materials in audio-visual form based on a series of field studies, workshops, seminars and festivals. Computerised documentation and retrieval of information is a speciality of this Centre. It has established itself as a major documentation centre of folklore.

The Yakshagana Kendra of the College, which is a national centre for Yakshagana Dance Drama in the country, was started in 1971 with the financial support of Central Sangeeth Natak Academy, New Delhi and the Department of Kannada and Culture, Govt. of Karnataka, Bangalore. The Academy of General Education, Manipal and the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College Trust are ever willing to venture into newer and greener pastures sponsoring and nourishing the project ever since its inception. The Kendra with a Gurukula system is devoted mainly to impart training to youngsters in Yakshagana dance, music and percussion instruments in Badagu Thittu style. The Kendra maintains a performing troupe called “Yaksha Ranga”, the professional ensemble of the Kendra. It has visited foreign countries as the cultural ambassador many a time.

For the last thirty years self-financed evening courses in German language have been offered leading to Certificate and Diploma in German. German classes are being held for Max Mueller Bhavan examinations also.

Self financed short Certificate Courses are offered in Computer Science apart from one year course of PGDCA.

The College also has an actively functioning Study Centre of Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) in which 2000 students are enrolled for B.A, B.Com, M.A, and M.Com courses. In this way the College caters to the needs of the general public who could not


302

complete their education earlier. Infrastructural facilities are extended to KSOU centre for holding classes and conducting its examinations.

The College has applied for the status of autonomy, but the application is pending for consideration at the University.

The College has a campus with a total extent of 46 acres owned by the College Trust. It witnessed a steady and phased progress in terms of extended infrastructural facilities during the past five decades. The present Administrative Block – “Madhava Raksha”, named after the founder of the College was inaugurated by the Honourable Minister of Human Resources Development, Dr. Murali Monohar Joshi, in the year 1998. The new Library complex, “Granthaloka” is the latest addition to the infrastructure of the campus which is spacious and the same building has a wing called “Tanthramsha Loka” housing the Department of Computer Science. The old administrative block houses Departments of English, Kannada, Hindi, Sanskrit, Political Science, Economics, Commerce, History, Mathematics and 14 class rooms. “The Madhava Pai Vijnana Mandira”, adjacent to the old administrative block, houses Departments of Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Home Science, Botany and Zoology laboratories, museums and five class rooms. “Vikrama Shila” houses Departments of Physics, Statistics and thirteen class rooms. Additional facilities are - a large ALN Rao Playground with a Sports Complex building, “Annapoorna” – canteen providing meals and refreshments to students at moderate rates, “Nutana Ravindra Mantapa” – a recently renovated auditorium of the College, “Muddana Mantapa”, – an open air auditorium, “Nandana” – the College guest house, “Geethanjali”, house of culture serving as a small hall for meetings and exhibitions, “Parvathi Nilaya” – Ladies Waiting Hall and “Vadiraja Vidhyarthini Nilaya” – Ladies’ Hostel with a recently added new dining hall. The College has staff quarters numbering 34. The Nalanda building houses Syndicate Bank, Archives of the RRC and an Archaeological museum. The R.G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra houses the library of late Rashtrakavi Govind Pai, offices of the RRC and the R. G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra. The Yakshagana Kendra is housed in a separate building about 0.2 km from the main campus. The College has computer facilities in many departments. A Students’ Co-operative Stores, Water Coolers, Xerox Facility, Student Counselling Centre, Vehicle parking sheds, a botanical garden, audio visual halls with OHP, TV, Slide Projector, VCP and LCD are additional facilities available in the campus. The College also has a 75 KV generator facility and a bio-gas plant.


303

The College promotes the activities of National Service Scheme (NSS), National Cadet Corps (NCC) and a Rangers’ Unit.

Quite a few members of the staff - late Prof. K. S. Haridasa Bhat (ex-principal), Prof. H. Krishna Bhat, Prof. Dr. N. T. Bhat, Prof. M.L. Samaga, Sri S. A. Krishnayya, Guru Sanjeeva Suvarna have been cultural ambassadors to countries like Germany, Italy, USSR, USA, etc. The RRC wing of the College has national and international linkage.

The College celebrated its Silver Jubilee (1974) and Golden Jubilee (2000) on a grand scale.

The College has obtained and utilised various grants of the Government and the UGC. A number of structures of the campus including the staff quarters were constructed with the support of the UGC. Recently (2002) a Sports Grant of Rs. 3 lakhs and a one-time development Grant of Rs. 7 lakhs were released to this College when it completed its 50 years of existence. The College has been selected twice for the implementation of COSIP programme of the UGC. In 2001, Rs. 2 lakhs were sanctioned for the implementation of COSIP. (The earlier grant for COSIP project had been released in 1971). The College has tapped and utilised a total grant of Rs. 43.44 lakhs from U.G.C. during the IX Plan Period.

Now the College wishes to offer itself for Assessment and Accreditation by the NAAC. Though the College enjoys recognition by students, parents and the general public as a premier institution, we would like to get the official stamp of recognition from the NAAC, subjecting ourselves to the due process of self-evaluation. We are also eager to know where exactly we stand in comparison with our counterparts and to know from experts what our strengths and weakness are. As the pursuit towards excellence is a continuous and ongoing process, it is necessary for us to know in what areas we need to put in more efforts to further improve upon ourselves.

It is with this objective that we are approaching the NAAC for Assessment and Accreditation. In April 2002, the then Principal Dr. Gopalan Puthusseri appointed a Committee consisting of a co-ordinator and six senior faculty members of the College to prepare the draft Self-Study Report. In this regard the co-ordinator Prof. Dr. P.K. Rajagopal with two members Prof. A. Jayarama and Prof Dr. B. S. Krishna Prasad attended a one day training organized by Mangalore University at Mangalore on 1st April 2002.


304

Subsequently, the next Principal Prof. K. Ganapathi Bhat called a meeting of all the permanent members of the teaching staff of the College and briefed them on the intention of the College to be assessed by NAAC and requested the cooperation of all the staff members. Various committees involving all the staff were constituted - one Committee for each criterion of the self-study proforma, headed by a senior most member. The different committees submitted their reports after a month. Following this, Prof. Dr. P.K. Rajagopal, Coordinator, along with seven senior members of the faculty – Prof. A Jayarama, Prof. M. L Samaga, Prof. Srinivasa Upadhyaya, Prof. Dr. B.S. Krishna Prasad, Prof. Dr.. Malathi K Moorthy, Prof. Pushpalatha Santyar and Prof. Sureshramana Mayya (Staff Club Secretary) – had many sittings in which they consolidated the reports submitted by the seven different Committees under the seven criteria and discussed threadbare the mode of filling up the proforma. The self-study report which was prepared like this has been further revised, corrected, edited and given the present shape by Prof. Dr. N. T. Bhat. In the meantime, inputs from different departments were provided by the respective Heads of Departments.

The downloading of NAAC PROFORMA from the web, feeding the data of the report and designing, revising, page-setting and printing and was done by Prof. Sureshramana Mayya and thus it is ready for submission to NAAC.

The information in this report is as on 31st January 2003 and it is being submitted to NAAC in March 2003.


305

Curricular Aspects The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College founded in 1949 and affiliated to Mangalore University since 1980, is basically an undergraduate College, the medium of instruction being English. Apart from B.A, B.Sc, B.Com degree courses, the College also offers Certificate Courses in Computer, German language and Yakshagana music and dance. The College also offers a Ph.D programme in literature, folk arts and traditions of the region.

The College was founded with the aim of fulfilling the aspirations of the youth of the then Dakshina Kannada District and to better the life of the people of this place and to bring opportunities to their doors.

“±dÏ®dd£±da¡ddSd£dî ëdd¦d«dŠ” the saying taken from Bhagavath Geetha represents the motto of the

College.

The College offers a total of 11 programmes – B.A degree course with three combinations (EHP, EEHs and HKP), B.Sc degree course with 4 combinations (MPC, MPCs, MSCs and BZC) and B.Com degree course with two combinations (General and Vocational), Certificate Course in Computer Science, Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Education, Certificate Course in German, Junior and Senior Diploma in German and Diploma Courses in Yakshagana and Ph.D Programme.

The Certificate Courses in Computer Science, German language and Yakshagana are self financed courses. All the programmes (except short term certificate course in Computer Science) follow a yearly time-frame (not semester) as existing under the Mangalore University system.

In addition to the above, two year Pre-University Course (Science, Arts and Commerce) with seven combinations and a two year job-oriented Vocational Course with two combinations also function in the campus. The College has a KSOU Study Centre which enrolls members of the general public to graduate and post-graduate courses in Arts and Commerce. This Centre functions after the regular College hours and during Sundays.

As an affiliated College of the Mangalore University, the College follows the syllabi prescribed by the University for B.A, B.Sc and B.Com degree classes. It can not take


306

unilateral decisions or action in designing new courses or revising existing courses. This is particularly true as far as the B.A, B.Sc, B.Com degrees are concerned. The College cannot make any changes in the academic time frame, introduce a modular structure of curricula and offer flexibility in the choice of subjects due to the constraints inherent in the system of affiliation. Nor can it formulate interdisciplinary courses of study.

Although the curriculum is rigid and does not provide lateral mobility, the College has attempted to transcend it by offering Gurukula system of training in Yakshagana dance and music, evening courses (diploma and certificate) in German language and computer education. Though reviewing and redesigning of academic programmes rest largely with the University, the College offers its suggestions through its staff members, seven of whom presently serve as members of Boards of Studies in their subjects and take active role in the formulation of syllabus. On several occasions in the past, whenever syllabi were revised, workshops were held in the College or initiated in other colleges so that teachers of the subject in all colleges under the University got proper orientation in handling the new syllabus. The College has incorporated many innovative projects into its fabric from time to time. Kannada Literature and English Literature were introduced as major subjects in the 1960s, Home Science subject in the1980s and Computer Science in the 1990s and Vocational subjects in B.Com in the late 1990s. The Yakshagana School was started in 1971 imparting training to youngsters interested in the folk dance and drama, who then get employed in professional troupes which are active round the year throughout the coastal districts of Karnataka.

A research wing was also added to the College during 1965 with a team of research guides, supervising research in area studies by several scholars. This centre was started around the nucleus of the personal collection of books of the late poet laureate M. Govinda Pai. The Ph.D programme from R.G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra encourages research on local issues. It has already produced 13 Ph.Ds and nine more persons have registered themselves for Ph.D. The Regional Resources Centre founded in 1983 with a grant by Ford Foundation is engaged in documentation of folk theatre forms.

The College promptly acted to introduce subjects with career orientation. Home Science (B.A- ladies), Computer Science (B.Sc), Tax procedure (B.Com) were introduced as and when they were needed to meet the changing requirements.


307

The courses offered in undergraduate levels provide a basic qualification to take up any jobs immediately after the degree or further study in courses like B.Ed, M.Sc, M.A, M.Com etc. The B.Com (Vocational) course introduced recently has particularly attracted students in the last few years. It takes approximately one to two years for the college to introduce a new programme within the present affiliating system. The introduction of B.Com (Vocational) PGDCA, Home Science Courses, Certificate Courses in Computer Science stand testimony for the thrust the College has laid on career oriented courses. Actually the College has attempted many a time to introduce interdisciplinary subjects like Microbiology and Biochemistry, but the Government policy to treat them as unaided courses has hindered their implementation. The College also tried its level best time and again to start post graduate courses at least in some subjects but again due to rigid Government Policy it could not be achieved.

The College has always kept itself open for all eligible students from all parts of the country irrespective of caste, creed and religion. It has especially encouraged women’s education, empowerment of women and overall development of women. The NSS, NCC, sports programmes, general awareness programmes are always in full swing. The various club activities organized after regular class hours help all round development of students.

The teachers of the College have participated in educational conferences, served as members on syllabus revision committees, attended refresher and orientation courses, meetings of Boards of Studies and have contributed to the total improvement of the curricula.


308

Teaching, Learning and Evaluation Admission to the various courses of study is done in accordance with the Government policy of merit and reservation. As M. G. M. College is not a residential College, all the students (except a few who stay in the Girls’ Hostel, adjacent to the College campus), a system has been developed over the years according to which the support of the parents is sought for the purpose of proper monitoring of the progress of the scholastic and other activities of the students. The system allows both the teachers and the parents to assess the progress of the students during the period of their study in the College and even beyond it. The involvement of the parent in this process is ensured by the insistence on his presence at the time of admission. For the promotion to the second and the third year of the programme (in degree classes) the parents should accompany their wards when the Principal and senior staff members handling classes will have an opportunity of an open dialogue with them. Students with good academic records and regular attendance will be duly be recognised and encouraged and those with inadequate progress are given proper advice and their parents are requested to visit the College and meet the principal and the concerned staff and keep themselves informed about the well being of their son\ward. Thus an informal type of parent – teacher link works out well in the College, the whole process being aimed at instilling proper study habits and discipline among students, which in turn ensures a bright future to the students. To improve this further, the Parent Teacher Association has come into existence in January 2003.

Students are encouraged to visit the departmental staff rooms during free hours and after 4.00 p.m for clarification of their doubts in respective subjects. Compulsorily all the staff members will have to be in the College from 9.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m and many a time this extends to 5.00 p.m or more as most of the days various club activities will be organized. There is enough scope for a close teacher-student relationship. Many a time, extra classes are held by staff members outside the regular time table for a better coverage of syllabus so that slow learners will be benefited.

Students’ knowledge and skills are assessed through tests, seminars, (and assignments in some departments) and examinations. Totally two tests and two examinations (mid-term and preparatory) are held in a year. The test and examination papers are promptly evaluated (within a week’s time) and answer scripts are returned to the students and discussed in the


309

class or in the departmental staff room. This transparency has helped in bringing about an effective student-teacher interaction.

Advanced learners are supported to work ahead. A few departments like English and History regularly give assignments to students which are to be written at home. These assignments are checked and returned to students with appropriate comments. In some departments (Botany, Commerce) regular seminars by students are conducted; and students are given project works (not demanded by the curriculum) based on field study and sometimes they are given minor dissertation works during mid-term and summer vacations. This has kindled interest in them and by this they have developed love towards the subject. Project works are also undertaken under the COSIP programme by the Science Departments which are in progress. B.Com vocational students get their training under practising Chartered Accountants as part of curriculum. Proficiency prizes are given during College Day Celebrations for the students of every class for their outstanding performances in the examinations.

All faculty members maintain a Teachers’ Diary monitored by the H.O.Ds and Principal by which teaching plan is encouraged. The principal ensures completion of syllabus by every member of the staff and sends completion report to collegiate authorities at the end of every academic year. Most of the staff members handling degree classes are permanent employees drawing UGC Scales having more than 20 years of experience. Nine senior members of the staff are the proud alumni of this College. There are seven teachers with Ph.D as their highest qualification and all of them have acquired this degree, 10-15 years after joining the teaching service in this College. Most of them did their research along with teaching and a few under the FIP programme. Three more have submitted their thesis and are waiting for the award of the degree. Three staff members are working for Ph.D as part timers and ten members of the staff have M.Phil as their highest qualification. Many staff members have attended seminars, workshops and participated as resource persons in the last two years. Some members of the staff have authored text books related to their curriculum. The College has organized a few seminars (one university level, one State level and one National level) in the last two years.

Syllabi are unitised at least in a few of the subjects according to a teaching schedule and question paper pattern. Mainly lecture method of teaching is followed. In some departments, charts, overhead projector, slide projector, CD ROMs, computers are used as teaching aids.


310

The evaluation method is yearly, as per university regulation. However, marks of mid-term and preparatory examinations are counted as internal assessment marks and taken into account at the tabulation of final examination marks. Thus, student evaluation is a continuous process. The teacher evaluation by students is done twice a year. Some teachers subject themselves to appraisal by students in their own format.

Individual student records (cumulative records) are maintained. The cumulative records with attendance status, marks of tests and examinations which are entered by the concerned staff members (staff advisors) are given to students twice a year to be signed by parents and returned to the staff members. This helps to keep a proper track of the progress of every student. The marks and attendance of every student are also entered in a common register along with the photograph, address, phone number and other details maintained at the College Office and preserved under the custody of the Principal which is a ready reckoner of each student’s progress.

The R.G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra and RRC wings have national and international linkages for research. These two wings of the College constantly organize seminars and workshops at local and national levels. Scholars from other Universities visit this College for purposes of consultation, study and research.

The subject wise results are always high, in most cases above 90 per cent.

The students of Botany are taken on field trips to observe Natural Resources and are acquainted with methods of their conservation.

The personal counselling by some members of the staff offered to students has helped them in the choice of future courses of study and career. A large body of students who are occupying high posts in the national and international levels maintain contact with their erstwhile teachers. This is a good instance of faculty-alumni rapport.


311

Research, Consultancy and Extension As the College doesn’t offer any Post-graduate Courses the scope for research is limited to the scope available in an undergraduate college. However, the R. G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra, Yakshagana Kendra and Regional Resource Centre of the College are actively engaged in programmes connected with research, consultancy and extension.

Students of the College have quite a few role models in the faculty who have obtained higher degrees after doing field studies and research. As already indicated, out of the 30 permanent staff of the College handling undergraduate classes, seven are Ph.D holders who did their research after 10-15 years of teaching experience. The College has encouraged many members of the staff to do research under FIP programme. COSIP Projects taken up by the Science Departments involving students are in good progress. Western Ghat Biodiversity Inventory Programme was completed a few years ago. An Ethnobotanical study of the District is in progress (COSIP).

At present three major projects aided by Ford foundation are in progress at RRC. A reputed scholar is carrying out a major UGC aided research project in history. This UGC aided 3.5 lakh research project was sanctioned on 1st April 2002 for three years to work on “Survey and Documentation of source materials for the Study of the Socio-Economic History of the Alupas from the earliest times to 1400 A.D”.

The R.G. Pai Samshodhana Kendra, in addition to offering facilities to Ph.D students in folklore, linguistics and culture, also undertakes research projects, conducts seminars, workshops, folk art festivals, theatre performances as well as documentation programmes and maintains an archaeological museum and manuscript library. Many foreign scholars visit the centre for their research work on Indian anthropology, sociology, culture, linguistics, and folklore. The personal collection of five thousand volumes, the nucleus of this Kendra, was handed over to this College by the heirs of Rashtrakavi Govinda Pai. This Kendra regularly organizes programmes like Tulu Day on October 2nd every year. It offers awards to scholars out of Endowments, organizes endowment lectures and publishes books which are quite popular in the academic circles. The research guides in the Kendra are all reputed scholars. The Centre has already produced 13 Ph.Ds.


312

The RRC conducts folklore surveys, documents performances and prepares audio visual documentary materials for the purpose of dissemination with the help of sophisticated equipment. RRC technicians were sent abroad to get special training in using the equipment and in editing technique. The RRC has published monographs, research works and thus has brought to light valuable materials which otherwise would not have seen the light of the day at all. Foreign scholars who have collaborated with research projects of the RRC have produced books of inestimable value. The RRC is in itself an International Institution in which the Ford Foundation and Academy of General Education collaborated for the furtherance of folklore research. The Centre has evolved modern methods of preserving archival materials. The RRC has provided opportunities to young scholars of Karnataka to get exposed to new vistas of knowledge. The centre at present has a total collection of 1000 hrs. video, 3,500 hrs. audio, 8,853 slides and 17,790 photos. Sri S.A. Krishnaiah and Yakshagana Guru Sri Sanjeeva Suvarna visited New York, USA to attend a workshop on folk theatre as resource persons, recently.

The College organizes a number of extension activities. The RRC conducts dissemination programmes including video presentations to familiarize school children and the public with folklore forms.

The R.G.Pai Samshodhana Kendra and RRC regularly publish books on literature, art, folklore and an array of other topics. “Prasanga” is a News Bulletin published by the RRC. The Director of the RRC is functioning at present also as an Honorary Editor of the “Manipal Record”, News Bulletin of the Academy of General Education, Manipal.

The NSS wing of the College with two units of 100 each is active throughout the year. NSS volunteers undertake service activities like blood donation camps and a yearly ten-day camp at a school undertaking works like construction of roads, levelling of playgrounds etc. They visit hospitals, orphanages and old age homes to make gifts of fruit or clothing to the inmates.

The staff of the College help the community by giving speeches and conducting awareness programmes in neighbouring schools and colleges, organizing mathematical Olympiad, functioning as resource persons etc. The College organizes a number of programmes, music festivals, seminars and workshops, Sanskrit speaking courses for the general public. The Yakshagana Kendra gives many public performances. The two talented members of the staff


313

who give public performances in music and dance, one is a B-grade artist in All India Radio and the other is a famous Yakshagana Artist. Many members of the faculty have authored books and contribute articles to various magazines. Writing books in Kannada on science topics which can be understood by laymen, publication of research papers, active participation in social organizations, are activities for which a few members of the faculty are known. On the faculty of the College there are three who have got State Level awards and there is one who is a member of Karnataka Janapada and Yakshagana Academy. One member of the staff of the RRC is a member of the Advisory Committee in Sangeet Nataka Academy.

The College provides infrastructural facilities to organize their activities to other organizations. Month long drama competition, seminars, music, etc. are held in the College auditorium. The KSOU study centre is another extension activity of the College.

The activities mentioned above have helped the College to establish a good and healthy rapport with the community.

The various extension activities of the College are organized by the members like Estate Manager, Director of HRD Cell, NSS Officer, NCC Officer, Student Welfare Officer, Ranger Unit Officer and by the Chief Coordinator of various clubs and the Directors of Regional Resource Centre, Govind Pai Samshodhana Kendra and Yakshagana Kendra.


314

Infrastructure and Learning Resources The infrastructure and learning resources available in the Campus are adequate to help the student community to perform their academic and extra curricular programmes in a reasonably efficient manner.

The class rooms are spacious and are equipped with fans and lights which facilitate the learning process in summer and the rainy season respectively.

The library housed in a modern building named “Grantha Loka”, is adequate for more than a First Grade College. There are separate browsing rooms for boys and girls, reference sections for students and teachers. Open access system is yet to be attempted to students. Computerization of library is in progress. There are facilities for lending books both on short term and long term basis.

The auditorium Nutana Ravindra Mantapa can hold up to 500 students at a time. Drama and dance performances, conferences and seminars, debates and lectures are held in this hall. It is the centre for the cultural programmes held in the College.

For larger audiences provision is made in the open air auditorium – Muddana Mantapa. The annual days of the College, bigger celebrations and festivals are held here. It also provides opportunities to organize programmes on a large scale, establish contact with a large body of the community, to exhibit their diverse talents etc.

The two audio-visual halls, one recently added in the Department of Computer Science, are adequate for the purpose of providing facilities for interaction between students and the staff. Audio visual presentations are often held here for the benefit of the students.

The Govind Pai Samshodhana Kendra is housed in a separate building where the library of the Kendra and the RRC is maintained along with the offices of the two units. These offices are equipped with computers, a scanner and two printers. This building is also used to stack the publications of the Govind Pai Samshodhana Kendra and the RRC.

The first and second floors of “Nalanda” are occupied mainly by the Archives and the audio-visual hall of the RRC and the Rashtrakavi Govind Pai Archaeological Museum. The main section of the Archives with the video and audio holdings is kept in air-conditioned rooms.


315

This has ensured the maintenance of the holdings in good condition. The Archives have varieties of equipment for videography, photography, audiography both in the analog and digital mode.

Editing consoles are also available in the Archives.

The audio-visual room is meant for organizing dissemination programmes for groups of visitors. Facilities are available for providing copies of selected audio and video cassettes for purposes of research and reference on payment of moderate service charges.

The RRC has its own Archives and an audio-visual room. Students of the College are welcome to witness the presentation in the auditorium. An LCD projector facilitates screening of videos and digital programmes on a large screen. The facility is also available in the new auditorium in the Department of Computer Science. Many departments are now provided with computers.

Lady students from outside regions have hostel facilities. The hostel is well-equipped.

Vast playgrounds with courts for outdoor games and facilities for indoor games ensure that young people get proper practice in sports and games. The facilities have been expanded with the establishment of the New Sports Complex with a multi-gym.

Meals and refreshments are available in the canteen during day time. There is a hall for lady students to relax and read during leisure hours.

There are separate staff rooms for each Department which facilitate easy accessibility of teachers to students whenever they are free. This also has made it possible to organise books lending facilities by individual Department where the reading of books by students is easily monitored by the teachers.

Periodical assignments and checking the assignment and individual guidance has been made possible by the existence of separate staff rooms of each Department.

The New Administrative Block is very spacious and allows proper display of notices and circulars meant for various sections of the student population.

Students get enough exposure to programmes of personality development.


316

The presence of a branch of the Syndicate Bank in the campus is an additional facility for students. Students have access to the Xerox facilities available in the College office. A Students’ Co-operative Stores also functions in the administrative block.

The College has almost all facilities available in a non-residential institution.


317

Student Support and Progression So far, 13,255 students from degree classes and 18,769 students from PU Classes have passed out of the portals of this College. More than a thousand students have learnt German and 1,360 students attended job-oriented vocational courses of Pre-University Class. The alumni body of the College consists of thousands of very distinguished persons including Vice-Chancellors, Judges, Bankers, Scientists, Doctors, Politicians, Superintendent Police Officers, Entrepreneurs and so on. The old students of M.G.M College are settled all over the world in all walks of life.

The College had an active Alumni Association for a long time which became a little passive later on for some years. However it has been revived in May 2002 as “MGM Old Students’ Forum,” which aims at helping poor students, giving scholarships etc. A number of old students have close associations with the College. They have donated books, contributed money for the new building, to mid-day meals club, etc. It is a practice of this College to invite old students occupying coveted positions in India and abroad to their Alma mater and to request them to address the present students. This has inspired many to rise to the same heights.

Consistently the College gets very good percentage of results every year. The class wise as well as subject wise results are always excellent. Further it is to be noted that the number of students getting first class outnumber the others. The subject wise percentage of results in almost all the subjects is above 80 per cent over the years. The class wise results of April 2002 examinations are: B.Com (Regular) – 55%, B.Com (Voc) – 89%, Final B.Sc - 86%, Final B.A – 89%. No year has passed without this College being excluded in the rank list of the University. Six students of this College bagged University ranks in April 2001 and four students got ranks in April 2002 University Examinations.

The College collects the feedback of the students (teachers’ assessment) twice a year. This is demanded by the Department of Collegiate Education also. The feedback has helped in quality enhancement.

The College regularly publishes the College Prospectus prior to admission, College Calendar and Handbook after admission and College magazine at the end of the year –all these are given individually to all students for their perusal.


318

Students of M.G.M College have been the recipients of numerous scholarships and fee concessions. The College calendar provides a lengthy list of scholarships, fee concessions and prizes awarded and constituted by Government Departments, other agencies, well wishers and alumni. The College has successfully tapped and received the grant of Rs. 43.44 lakhs from UGC during IX Plan which has been judiciously utilised for construction, equipments, sports, seminars etc. The matching grant has been provided by the Management.

A career guidance cell managed by a senior staff publishes the Employment News in the notice board regularly, keeping the students well informed of their employment opportunities.

The student progression is monitored by the staff advisors by the cumulative record scheme. Every teacher is assigned a set of 25 to 30 students to maintain their cumulative records and for personal counselling. The College motivates students to seek-self employment, few workshops have been organized in this direction in the last two years. The parent teachers’ meeting which was in an informal way in the beginning of every year during the times of admission and readmission has been formalized in January 2003 with the formation of Parent Teacher Association.

The College believes that every student is an unpolished diamond waiting to find its real splendour. The talent latent within the student should not go unnoticed. In this direction the College organizes a number of co-curricular and extra curricular activities through the various clubs – HRD Cell, Literary and Fine Arts, Arts, Commerce, Science, Hobbies, Information Technology, Audio Visual and Players Club. The “Spectra,” “Comfest”, “Art Chimes” and “Megabyte” festivals organized by the College Council every year involve the students of other colleges also in this process, thus enriching minds of people and helping human civilization to evolve and progress. The students are given opportunities to exhibit their talents under various club activities on Teachers Day, Independence Day and College Annual Days. Thirty students of Players Club underwent one month training by a drama expert from Bangalore in October 2002.

Indoor game facilities like carom, chess, table tennis are provided and a Multi Gym is the latest addition. In the field of sports, students have won prizes such as best physique, athletics, etc. Two students have represented the College in NCC Parade at New Delhi. One student was selected for participation in the Youth Exchange Programme on a National Level


319

to visit Vietnam during August –October 2002. Another student got selected at national level to work on a project for three months – April – June 2002, at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

The Student Welfare Officer works as a liaison officer between students and the Principal. Student Redressal Committee, Discipline Committee, Student Welfare Council, HRD Cell organize and coordinate student support and welfare activities. The full day canteen working in the campus helps the students to relax during free hours. It also provides lunch at nominal price. The lady students have a separate building with toilet facilities for their relaxation.

In connection with College Day and Sports Day, competitions are held and prizes are given. Proficiency prizes are given to the best learner in each class (each combination) based on preparatory examination marks. University rank holders are felicitated in a separte function or on the eve of College day.


320

Organization and Management The College is under the aegis of the Academy of General Education, Manipal. The College has attained the status of a mini-university with many unconventional departments grafted into the mainstream by the efforts of the Management which has made this College a centre of both formal and informal education.

The College is managed by the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Trust, a registered body appointed by the Academy of General Education (AGE), Manipal. The trust with seven members and the Governing Council with nine members takes administrative and developmental decisions and monitor the holistic growth of the College. The present Correspondent of the College, Sri K. K. Pai, a retired Chairman and Managing Director of Syndicate Bank, is deeply involved in the all-round development of the College. He is a renowned personality who was also the Municipal Chairman and now he is associated with a number of organizations. He is an experienced banker, educationalist and social worker and administrator and he is the head of a number of other educational institutions.

The College council consisting of all HODs headed by the Principal meets 8-10 times a year and monitors College examinations, curricular and co-curricular activities, discipline matters and all day to day activities of the College. Through the ten different committees which look after the admissions, discipline, time table, calendar, scholarship, magazine and midday meals, the expertise is effectively utilized by the involvement of all the staff members. A Staff Club which meets at least once in a month also contributes to internal coordination. The senior-most member of staff helps the Principal in coordinating the extra curricular activities. The College Prospectus and Calendar are updated every year by the committees appointed by the Principal.

The performance appraisal of faculty is done in two ways – (a) through self assessment reports filled in by each staff annually at the end of the academic year (b) through teachers evaluation done by students. The principal submits annual confidential reports of all teaching and non teaching staff to the Management.

Funds allotted to College are properly utilised. Apart from the internal auditing, the College accounts are subject to statutory audit by Chartered Accountant and by the auditors of the Government.


321

Yearly internal stock checking of equipments in all science departments, books in the library and furniture and other properties of the estate is done on an interdisciplinary basis. The stock verifying officers are appointed by the principal each year.

The main source of funding for meeting recurring expenditure of the College is the grants from the State Government as salary grant and the fees collected from the students for the various club activities. All the temporary staff (almost 50 % of the total number of staff) are paid by the Management. As all courses started after 1988 are not eligible for government support, this has imposed a severe strain on the institution. The UGC has granted Rs. 12 lakhs this year (including one time grant of 7 lakhs) which have been utilised for the purchase of special equipment, sports items and books.

The Management has provided adequate staff according to workload by conducting interviews to fill the posts left vacant by retirement, introduction of new courses etc.

The different welfare schemes of the College include the Medicare and Group Insurance facilities provided to all teaching and non-teaching staff and well furnished quarters available to the staff, free mid-day meals for deserving students, book bank facility to students and the Cooperative Society working throughout the day. All departments of the College have intercom facility which serves internal coordination.

The enlightened Management keeps on developing infrastructural facility using its own funds. The latest addition has been the New Library Building.


322

Healthy Practices The College over the years has established itself as a premier institution on account of several healthy practices. It has a strong linkage with other institutions and the public.

The staff assessment by students twice a year, self appraisal report by members of staff twice a year submitted to the Management and R.D.D.C.E and the confidential reports of Principal submitted to the Management go a long way to maintain a good internal quality check.

All decisions regarding academic, examinations and extra curricular activities are taken only after their discussions at various levels like Council Meetings, Staff Club Meetings and are thus fully transparent. The annual celebrations, music festival and any functions of greater dimensions are carried out by sharing of work under different committees, thus the whole work is carried out in a team spirit. The calendar of events is meticulously carried out. The sensitisation of the College to latest changing trends is evident by its computerisation of many departments.

The B.Com students visit factories, industries for their project work. Students are sent on short-term research projects. The College has national and international linkages for research. The regular academic programmes are strengthened by self-financing courses (German, Computer, Yakshagana Courses). The distant education is encouraged by the College by its Open University Study Centre. Students have taken part in Western Ghat Biodiversity Survey project recently and at present are working on Ethnobotanical medicinal plants and studying the radiation effect on plants. On every mid-term vacation Botany First Year Students are encouraged to take up a Project Work on some Ethnobotanical issues through field survey. All attempts are made to equip the Botanica – the Botanical Garden of the College, with newer varieties of plants through students. The famous pitcher plant – Nepenthes – was brought by an old student from Khasi Hills of Assam and has earned a good name for Botanica.

Civic responsibilities are included regularly in students’ activities like social services, blood donation by students, blood donation camps, eye camp, visits to orphanages, AIDS Awareness Programmes, and organizing lectures by Judges, police officials, etc. The N.S.S organises yearly a 10-day camp where projects like levelling play ground, road construction are undertaken. Planting trees, campus cleaning are week end programmes. The workshops


323

on National Anthem, National Flag, personality development programmes are also held. Sports activities and cultural fests contribute to the all round personality development. Students are sent to other colleges to participate in seminars and inter collegiate competitions. Their TA is met by the College. The different clubs are active throughout the year.

The College also tries its level best to impart value based education. During the last two years it organised two camps of Sudarshana Kriya Yoga and Siddi Samadhi Yoga in the campus. Zen Meditation, programmes of ISKCON were held. Two senior research guides of RG Pai Samshodhana Kendra are actively engaged in imparting training in Siddi Samadhi Yoga to thousands of members of the public. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Manipal Centre functions through this College. Discourses by Swamijis and Harikatha recital by a famous saint are held every year.

The staff and students have responded to national crises like Orissa Cyclone, Gujarath Earthquake by raising funds and collecting clothes. When one fellow student met with an accident, fund was raised by student and staff contribution.

Apart from the formal education the College has taken many modes of informal education like German Courses, unique research programmes and Yakshagana Training in Gurukula System.

The RRC archives of the College are a prime place of interest for people interested in the study of history, language and culture of this region.

The College gives preference to local students during admission. Laying greater emphasis on co-curricular and extra curricular activities the College has geared up to its specific goal of fulfilling the aspirations of the youth of this part of the state.

The “Spectra”, and “Comfest” and “Art Chimes” organised every year, the quiz competition, the “Sagri Sentinel” wall magazine, the different club activities are the efforts of the College to promote general and transferable skills in students.

The Sangeethotsava (three-day long), the drama competition (20 days or more), “Ninasam” dramas which are held every year and the conferences, seminars held very often, video shows


324

arranged in schools, helping orphanages (NSS) and other such activities meant for the community are intricately woven into the fabric of the College.

The mega exhibition organized during Golden Jubilee celebrations (2000) attracted thousands of people.

A week long State Level Book Exhibition was held in collaboration with Kannada Book Authority of Government of Karnataka during December 2002.

Six different endowments are instituted to the tune of Rs. four lakhs in this College for the promotion of Arts, Culture and Literature. Yearly awards are given from the proceeds of such endowments.

The activities of Staff Club and Staff Club Day celebrations establish a harmonious understanding among the staff.


325

Summary The achievements of this undergraduate College over the past five decades described in the foregoing pages can be summarized briefly as follows:

It has, by providing higher education in Arts, Science and Commerce, fulfilled the dreams of graduation of young men and women to acquire modern knowledge and provided them the required qualification to take up higher studies or various avenues of employment. Education being a very valuable form of investment, the College has contributed to the creation of wealth of the country.

By supporting the claim of lady students for admission to the College it has silently contributed to the enhancement of the dignity and self confidence of women. It has shown the way for emancipation of women through higher education.

It has helped the growth of the society by imparting education mainly to the youth of rural regions. The Coastal Districts of Karnataka are today creators of wealth mainly because of the ability it has given to the rural youth to move out of their villages in search of higher education or employment in other parts of the country or abroad.

It has struck a balance between all branches of knowledge by gradually expanding the base of education, by including courses in Arts, Science and Commerce and also job oriented courses within the means it had.

It has both in the selection of students and teachers taken merit into consideration (within the provisions made for reservation as per Government rules) and has tried to maintain a high standard of instruction and teaching. Regular academic activities conducted both by hardworking students and committed teachers have established a tradition of excellent results marked by more first classes than the lower grades and a good crop of ranks in the University examinations over the years.

The College has attempted novel programmes of cultural and social significance not normally attempted by an undergraduate College. Literary festivals, music festivals, theatre festivals, workshops, seminars, refresher courses have been held regularly involving students in activities leading to personality development. The research wing, foreign language teaching, the documentation centre, the Yakshagana Kendra, the publication activities are not

common in an institution of undergraduate education. It has facilities of diverse kinds like excellent library, well-laid out playgrounds, adequate lecture halls, suitable auditorium, adequate number of staff quarters to keep students and teachers busy throughout the year. It has earned the goodwill of the public and has a wide band of alumni whose liberal contributions enabled the College to celebrate the Golden Jubilee in February 2000 in a grand fashion. The College can boast of a very enlightened Management which has gone on adding year after year, to the infrastructure, without facing any difficulty even during the bifurcation of the College into the Pre University College and Degree College as per the orders of the Government – the latest addition being the impressive building Granthaloka which houses a vast library and a modern Department of Computer Science which was started by the Management utilizing its own resources to keep pace with the needs of modern times.

It has taken initiative to start new courses wherever there was an express need. The Department of Home Science and the Courses in Vocational B.Com. were opened to enhance the employment opportunities of students.

The Management of the College would not like to rest with the laurels already gained. It has had a history of continuous development and would like to go on serving the needs of its students, thus serving the needs of the people at large. There are a few requirements which the Management will take up as and when resources are available.

The College missed the opportunity of becoming a Post-graduate Centre when the Mangalore University was established for the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada District. With the bifurcation of the District, the new Udupi District would need its own University and M.G.M College Udupi would naturally have a claim to attempt a vertical development. This would be the project for the distant if not for the near future.

There is a felt need to computerize the library service. There has been a progressively increasing exposure to computer operation among both teaching and non-teaching staff and it is hoped that within a short period of time the personnel in the library would be able to offer their service through the computer making both lending and consultancy more efficient and more convenient.

It has been observed that recently the science courses at the undergraduate level are not able to attract the students who are able to get absorbed in professional courses in engineering and

Information Technology. New courses in Communication, Journalism, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Management, and Accounting are being contemplated as possible courses which can strengthen the B.Sc, B.Com and BA course in the College.

The only apprehension in this direction is the widespread argument put forth by certain sections of experts that higher education need not be subsidized by the Government. If this policy were to be implemented, in this region which is still largely rural, there might not be many takers for the self-financing courses in most branches of knowledge.
