VISION

Meditating the Absolute Truth

To make the students internally enlightened, emotionally sound and practically efficient to

become more socially responsible and contribute constructively towards nation building.

Mission

To impart value-based education to students in fulfilling their career goals and social

commitments.

To make the students exposed to latest developments so as to stay competitive in the

job market.

To uplift the rural and costal community by facilitating quality education to their

younger generations.

OBJECTIVES

The "objectives of the college" as framed following the policies of the Governments, UGC, and

the University of Kerala are: to disseminate and advance knowledge by providing instructional

and research facilities in such branches of learning as it may deem fit and by the example of its

corporate life, and in particular to make special provisions for integrated courses in humanities

and science in the educational programmes of the University and to take appropriate measures

for promoting inter-disciplinary studies and research in the district of Kollam to especially

provide opportunity of higher education to marginalized sections in the district of Kollam and

the college stands for. They are also provided to the students through the academic calendar

prepared every year so that everyone can know more about the institution and its ideals.

NAAC SSR 2016


OUR EMBLEM

Rationale of the Emblem

The logo of the college has on its top the words from Srimad Bhagavatham: Sathyam Param

Dheemahi (which means Let us meditate on the Absolute Truth)

The full sloka goes like this:

Let us meditate on the supreme Lord of the nature of Truth, Who, by his self-effulgence, always

dispels falsity of every nature, From whom the creation, sustenance and dissolution of their

entire universe proceed and which is indicated by his presence in all the created entities

beginning from Akasha and His absence in all the totally nonexistent entities like sky-lotus,

hare‟s horn etc., who is omniscient (all-knowing), who revels in his own glory, who made

Brahma realize the Vedas through his mind which are stupefying even for the great souls, in

whom the creation which is caused by three-fold Maya (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) appears to be true

(though not in reality) just as Fire, Water and Earth appear in one another (as in a mirage).

The college logo also contains a symbol which was used as the official logo of the erstwhile

Travancore Kings. The traditional lamp and an open book too find a place in the logo.

NAAC SSR 2016


The emblem, together with the motto is symbolic of the ideals the college stands for. The open

book represents the reception and assimilation of knowledge which liberates the individual from

the debilitating shackles of ignorance and incapacity. But the growth and evolution of the

individual through education is not seen as an end in itself. The training, both academic and co-

curricular, seeks to foster in the students a keen awareness of their social role as well-integrated

members of their communities armed with the skills to contribute positively to change.

The symbols take a new dimension of meaning in connection with the people in the backward

area. The wisdom from learning dispels the darkness of ignorance like a lighted candle and it

signifies that the learning one receives at the institution is not to be kept to oneself but to be

disseminated to the community.

CURRICULUM PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

As a catalyst of social change, the college is heading towards the academic excellence in fine

tune with its vision and mission. In the backdrop of the well-articulated vision and mission, the

college is setting a clear foundation for its academic functions through the explicit terminals like

PTA, College Websites, Induction workshops etc., the college is carrying out its regular

functioning in tune with the norms and guidelines issued by the parent university. In order to

address the traditional issues of academic exercise, the college has vetted with the Choice Based

Credit Semester System and has attained incredible results. The college is also embracing the

Continuous Evaluation system to keep a close track of surveillance on the academic development

of students. The administration of syllabi is under the regular supervision of HoDs and the

academic council. Besides, the college is very sensitive to the academic and social events on a

mailto:[email protected]

NAAC SSR 2016


global perspective. The college ensures a holistic development model for the students through

the conduct of various cells and clubs. The highlights include ED club and Nature club. The

college is under the supervision of university of Kerala and the Directorate of Collegiate

Education. Our teachers are enriched with the regular update of knowledge from the experts of

the discipline. From the national agencies too, the college gets enough institutional and financial

support. The college has become part of the knowledge highway with necessary bandwidth

facilities. The college facilitates FDPs and Minor and Major Research Projects. The members of

our teaching fraternity have come up luminous with many national and international exposures in

training through different upgrading agencies like FLAIR.

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

The college is a state-owned entity affiliated to the University of Kerala. The admission process,

procedures and modalities are strictly in tune with the National Education Policy. To ensure the

specific execution of this programme, the University has floated a platform which is fully online.

The candidates with prescribed qualification can log in to the University portal where they can

upload the details of their claims. The systems will shortlist the candidates after caring all the

reservation norms and quotas. This system insulates the entire admission procedure from

favoritism and bias. Obviously, the transparency aspect is well taken care of. The reservations

and weightage are in strict adherence of the government rules and regulations. Admissions to the

continuing education cell are not an exception to the general practice. Online admission enables

the University to address the grievances and anomalies as and when it raises. The track record of

the college and University endorse that this is a flawless exercise. In case of knowledge gap for

the new students, in house arrangements are made to bridge the gaps by providing intensive

crash classes. The college uses all the modern teaching and learning logistics in its premises.

State - of the - art labs and smart class rooms are adding colour to this endeavor. The college on

special occasions invites experts and professionals to enlighten the students on specific areas

which include medicines, law, accountancy, environment and other life skills.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESS

The college is always on a pursuit of polishing the academic competence. In tune with demands

in academic circle, the college is grooming its attire attractively in every academic year in the

NAAC SSR 2016


form of changed prospectus and handbooks. Under the guidance of DCE, the college is

undertaking various co-scholastic activities to bridge vital gaps in learning–teaching exercise and

their career orientation. It is pertinent to mention some programmes of Directorate of Collegiate

(DCE) Education like Walk with a Scholar (WWS) for the refinement of their employability

along the course content. The programme is undertaken at college level with stipulated grant and

is looked after by a co-ordinator. In the programme, internal mentoring and external mentoring

are devoted to increase their core-competencies in the subjects and skills required for a bright

future. The programme also envisages motivational aspects like selection of higher education

courses, areas of interest and the required attitude building measures in each core course. The

DCE also flagships programmes like Fostering Linkages in Academic Innovations and Research

(FLAIR) and Additional Skill Acquisition programme (ASAP). Our college has meticulously

tailored these programmes in the teaching schedules. No wonder that our alumini have bagged

much from their alma mater. The college is giving a platform to the eligible students for availing

themselves of various scholarships and grants from different funding agencies. The college has

successfully disbursed these funds during the previous years. The beneficiaries of the

scholarships account for 80 percentage of total intake. All the scholarships are intended to uplift

social and physical backwardness among students. The college is committed to mould our youth

into budding entrepreneurs. To this end, the college has instituted Entrepreneurial Development

Club under the sponsorship of Ministry of Industries and Trade. The college is making all the

efforts in providing coaching for the competitive exams. In fact the college envisages an

atmosphere in the campus that will comfortably fetch a job soon after its completion. The

students of the college are particularly trained to take up real challenges in their social and

personal life. Towards this, the college is conducting classes that build psycho-social competence

as laid down by the United Nations on soft skills.

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

Management of the college is vested in the hands of DCE. The Principal, being the executive

officer implement the policies and guidelines of government. The day-to-day management of the

college is carried out by the Principal and an elected Council of Staff from different departments.

The policy statement is well communicated and plan of actions are chalked out by the council.

The council formulates major policy and the procedures at higher levels, but the different HoDs

NAAC SSR 2016


are given operational autonomy in executing those. The college is supported with an Internal

Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to orient the general members of the college with the quality

bench marks. This cell is playing a vital role in deciphering the mission and vision of the college.

The college conducts various programmes funded by the national agency to uphold the national

integration values. The college management is subject to evaluation and monitoring by the DCE.

The DCE has all the authority for audit on accounts and operational efficiency. Thus, the college

is under multiple surveillances so that it can hardly face a crisis. The college is not enjoying a

full -fledged infrastructure or amenities of international standards, but it is always in a pursuit to

acquire it through proposals for hostel facilities, compound wall, play ground, library cum

conference hall and additional UG and PG programmes.

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

The college is committed towards the sensational issues on environment. The college is

designing its developmental activities by giving minimum disturbance to the environment. The

students in the college are really concerned about their stake in this issue. The local governance

including office administration is trying hard towards a „paper free‟ office. The college has

declared its premises plastic-free and the awareness has provided to all. The college premise is

going to get converted in to a lush green campus. The medicinal plants and the rich knowledge

of traditional predicament is much spread in the air of the campus. A sense of hygiene and

cleanliness is taught to the students at all the possible opportunities so that the campus is kept

litter free and serene. The college is fostering an e-learning culture in the ambience of

INFLIBNET. The fraternity of teachers and students are tapping this resource for their mutual

benefits. The students of the campus are taught a sense of philanthropic attitude by motivating

them to donate blood to the needy people in the locality. Awareness camps are conducted at

regular intervals to instill the values of Good Samaritan. In order to ensure a comprehensive

surveillance system, the department of each discipline is maintaining a student personal profile

registering their academic, personal and career objectives. The IQAC has instituted a digital

feedback Performa in which the students can rate the teaching system on a five point scale. This

is conducted on a confidential platform to ensure professional up gradation.

NAAC SSR 2016


In addition to the conventional chalk and talk method, innovative and latest trends in the

teaching-learning process are adopted by the faculty members to enrich the learning

capabilities of the learners. Case studies, practical sessions, group discussions, seminars,

and so on are regularly followed in each department.

In addition to the above, the teachers make use of the state-of-the-art infrastructural

facilities implemented by the college to provide maximum possible exposure to the

learners.

In order to get acquainted with the latest trends in education, the college encourages the

faculty members to participate in orientation programmes, workshops, seminars, refresher

and orientation courses offered by the university and other institutions. The information

gathered by the faculty members during the various training sessions helps them to

impart the same to the students to broaden their horizon of knowledge.

ICT assisted teaching and learning process has been a grand success in contributing

abundantly to the learning experience of the learners. Interactive board, LCD projector,

power point presentations and educational CDs all influence and create a positive impact

upon the teaching-learning process.

Hands-on learning is encouraged through field visits, industrial visits and project works.

Students are motivated to access digital learning materials and e-books for data

collection. The faculty members are given full freedom in adopting their own effective

approach in transacting the curriculum.

Introduced the following best practices in teaching:

Flipped Learning

Collaborative Problem Solving Method

Blended Learning

Micro Teaching

Self Directed Learning.

NAAC SSR 2016


2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process?

The general library is well equipped with good titles.

Easy accessibility, sufficient seating capacity, ample number of books pertaining to

various disciplines of study are the hallmark characteristics of the library.

The books are cataloged and the automation process has been started.

All the students who are admitted in an academic year are members of the library.

Apart from printed books, reference texts, magazines, journals, newspapers are available

in the library

The e-library (Inflibnet) concept has enabled the students to manipulate and extract latest

and modern information and data utilizing e-resources.

The students are provided a learning atmosphere, and are permitted to lend book

regulated by the norms of the college library.

However, reference texts are meant to be read and referred within the library.

Yearly addition of new books is an added advantage to maintain and remain in the foray

to assimilate knowledge.

The up gradation of library with latest editions of books and reference texts supplements

the entire learning process.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the

planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the

institutional approaches to overcome these.

The college seizes all possible endeavours and measures to complete the curriculum

within the stipulated time frame.

Unavoidable reasons like public hartal, bus strikes, bandh, harsh weather, government

declared holidays etc., disrupt regular classes. This is compensated with extra classes

taken by the teachers during Saturdays. In addition to this, extra classes are conducted

before and after the regular class hours.

Task for the teachers who are pitted against intense and busy time schedule.

The curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities need to be completed in a time

bound manner, which demands high level of professionalism among the teachers.

NAAC SSR 2016


2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?

The present CBCSS followed in the college have provisions for an academic audit to

monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching- learning process.

The results of the internal and university examinations are the indicators to gauge the

quality of education imparted to the learners. The performance of the students are closely

observed and scrutinized and remedial measures are taken if necessary.

The feedbacks obtained from the students provide the necessary impetus for the teachers

to understand the students and to comprehend their proficiency skills in teaching. The

feedbacks are collected by the teachers in every semester.

The comprehensive evaluation of the teachers by the students is an effective scheme to

analyze and assess the personality of the faculty. Moreover, it also provides an

opportunity for the faculty to eliminate negative traits, if any and to improve their

tutoring ability.

The PTA meetings held regularly enable the teachers to comprehend the learners and

identify the corrective methods to be adopted for negating the shortcomings.

2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies adopted by the College in

planning and management (recruitment and retention) of its human resources (qualified

Service Commission by conducting a written test and an interview. The qualifications and

selection procedures are prescribed by the Government in accordance with UGC and University.

The college has two categories of teachers- permanent faculty and Guest faculty. Permanent

teachers are either newly recruited or transferred and posted from other Government Colleges. In

the absence of required number of permanent teachers, guest faculties are selected by the College

Principal from the list provided by the Deputy Director of collegiate education. Their

qualifications and selection procedure is also as per the guidelines issued by the Government of

Kerala. The College requires 35 teachers for handling various subjects. Out of this 30 are

university.

In UG the evaluation is in the form of 80 marks for external exam and 20 marks for

internal exam and in PG it is 75 25

The internal mark had three components attendance , class test and seminar / assignment,

as per university norms

The Department Level Monitoring Committee ( DLMC) and College level Monitoring

Committee ( CLMC) monitor the internal marks.

NAAC SSR 2016


The previous question papers are made available to students for reference in each

departments and the central library.

The academic and personal counseling is systemized through the teacher -ward system. Every

class is entrusted to the special care of a tutor – invariably of the same department – for

mentoring. The teacher ward system builds a good rapport between the students and teacher-in-

charge. The tutor understands their problems and tries to resolve them. Students are free to meet

their tutors at any time during office hours. Besides, meeting of tutors and their wards has been

NAAC SSR 2016


made an institutional system for regular and sustained participation of teachers in academic and

personal counseling. We have a mechanism to redress any possible grievance from students and

staff. To address students‟ woes the mechanism functions at two levels. Every department has a

Grievance Redressal Cell that consists of the HoD, the tutors and two senior members of the faculty.

Students are free to approach the cell for getting their grievances redressed.

Principal is the chairman of the institutional level Grievance Redressal Cell. The committee consists

of three senior members of the faculty from the staff council and the superintendent of the college

office. If any charge remains unsolved at the departmental level, students can register it for the

consideration at the college level cell. Usually the grievances are solved at the first level itself. A

foolproof knowledge of the system and transparency in its implementation leave no room for

grievances. The cell for addressing grievances of the staff is formed with two members nominated by

the Committee, two senior staff members and the Principal as chairman. The staff can lodge their

complaints before this committee. The staff can also bring their unsettled grievances before

College Grievances Committee for final hearing and disposal.

An Anti-Ragging Committee has also been constituted in the college to prevent the practice of

ragging of any kind and the complaints regarding it if any.

A Canteen has been set up in collaboration with Kudumbashree in the college premise to supply

hygienic food to the staff and students at subsidized rates.

Kerala. Its administrative and academic policies are governed by the rules and

regulations of the Department of Higher Education, Govt. of Kerala, the Higher

Education Council and the University of Kerala.

Principal, the academic and administrative head of the institution, facilitates overall

development of the students and the faculty.

The Principal of the College is assisted in discharging the duties by the Vice Principal

and the Staff Council having due representation of the Heads of the Departments.

games. But due to some legal bottlenecks, the college lacks land for provision of

necessary facilities like stadium/ playground, hostels etc for students aspiring to be

students. The PTA meets regularly at the department level as well as at the

institutional level and receives suggestions for future growth and improvement. The

according to the NACC Guideline.

Many Departments organized several programmes like National Seminars,

NAAC SSR 2016


Workshops, Training Programmes, etc. aimed at quality enhancement which motivated the

students and the faculty.

Decisions made by the IQAC regarding teaching learning and evaluation were submitted to the

Staff Council and the Governing Council. These suggestions were accepted and implemented by

the college authorities.

1 Language Laboratory established

2. Drinking water facility implanted in each department.

3. Landscaping and beautification of campus completed.

6.5.2 Operationalization of Internal Quality Assurance for the Academic and

Administrative Activities

The Principal is the academic and administrative head of the institution. In order to assist her

there are several committees including IQAC to have an integrated framework for quality

assurance of the academic and administrative activities. The committees constituted consist of

representatives from teaching, non teaching staff and the students. This is to ensure participatory

and democratic interaction from all the main stakeholders. All the committees are given

permission to formulate their own strategies for implementing the decisions formulated by the

Principal. The decentralized mode of administration proves effective during the execution of

quality assurance measures initiated by the IQAC.

6.5.3 Training to staff

The IQAC conducts orientation programmes for its staff.

It is meant to enrich and update themselves academically, socially and culturally and

to comprehend the recent trends in higher education

6.5.4 Academic Audit

Academic audit is done through semester plan, academic calendar, periodic evaluation and end

semester evaluation. Every possible measure is taken to adhere to the academic plan and

semester plan prepared at the beginning of the year and semester. A close monitoring is also

done at different levels like Head of the institution, IQAC, Head of the Departments, and

NAAC SSR 2016


Academic Monitoring Committee (DLMC & CLMC). Staff Council and special Departmental

meetings are arranged for Result Analysis and necessary modifications are introduced

accordingly.

6.5.5 Alignment of IQAC with EQAC Requirements

The college is governed by the Department of Higher Education, Govt. of Kerala and the

University of Kerala. These authorities collect data on teacher evaluation, results of internal and

end semester examinations and valuable suggestions are made, whenever found necessary. The

IQAC passes information on the recent advances and developments in the sphere of education

and research to the teachers and students of all disciplines for their up gradation.

6.5.6 Reviewing the Teaching Learning Process

The teaching-learning process is reviewed through feedback from students collected by

Statistical cell and departments and analyzed by IQAC. Copies of semester plan prepared by

individual teachers are forwarded to the IQAC through the Department Heads and the committee

closely monitors the progress of the plan. IQAC also keeps track of the timely and committed

coverage of the lessons. Besides this, the Head of the Institution collects informal feedback from

students

Staff Council meetings are convened especially for the review of the internal examination

results. All teachers have to submit their score sheets to the HOD before the commencement of

the meeting. During the meeting, results of each Department are discussed and comparisons with

the external results are made. Deliberations during the meetings are implemented at institution

level for betterment of the teaching learning process.

Parent Teacher meetings are convened at the Department level to analyze the results of their

wards. The modifications in the teaching learning process are conveyed to the parents and their

suggestions and complaints, if any, are also taken into consideration by the teachers. Necessary

directions are given to the students and parents for the improvement of the student. With the

adoption of this mechanism, the improvement in results was clearly visible in the institution.

6.5.7 Communication with internal and external Stakeholders.

NAAC SSR 2016


Communication with students is attained through teachers especially Class Tutors and Head of

Departments through meetings and interactions, notices, announcements and Institutional

Website. Staff members are informed of the quality assurance policies through staff meetings,

notices and mails. External stakeholders particularly parents are intimated through PTA

Executive Committee and General Body meetings and also by post.

CRITERION VII

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the institution conduct a Green Audit of its campus?

The institution is highly committed in protecting and preserving the environment and

inculcating environmental consciousness among the students and staff. The college has

no permanent system of environmental audit. However, the institution has conducted an

audit of the vegetation on the campus in 2015 and a record of the same is maintained and

the botanical names are displayed on the trees.

Efforts are taken to study the plants available in the surrounding areas of the college and

the community is made aware of the sustenance and importance of rare species especially

the medicinal plants.

7.1.2- What are the initiative taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

Energy Conservation

The college is ensuring minimal energy consumption through various measures of energy

conservation. All the classrooms are well ventilated and having enough natural light.

Hence the use of fans and lights are at the minimal level. Continuous awareness is been

given to students on the need for energy conservation. The class leaders are given charge

to verify whether lights and fans are switched off when not in need. Sign boards on

energy conservation have been displayed in various parts of the college premises. The

staff members are also advised to reduce energy consumption.

The students are made conscious of the solar energy source to use it in their homes and

the community at large .The college office and Principal‟s room are powered by solar

energy. The college canteen functions with the aid of biogas plant and agricultural need

of the campus is met with the slurry from biogas plant .The college hosts regular

programmes to instill the messages on the need and importance of nonconventional

NAAC SSR 2016


energy sources. The college is keen on educating the students regarding the harmful

effects of plastic. The college has also declared as a „plastic free zone‟.

Efforts for reducing the use of paper

Use of electronic forms is promoted in order to reduce the use of paper. Students are

advised to submit the draft copies of projects in soft format in order to reduce paper

consumption. The governance of the college is transformed to an electronic mode. All the

communications are made through this operating system. The broad aim of college

administration in the short run is to make the office as paper free as possible, and a paper

free zone in the long run. The latest technology has been implemented on the campus and

it is made available to the student community in supervised ambiance, hence the campus

tends to use relatively less volumes of paper.

Water conservation

Even though being a state which receives an average rainfall of 3000 millimetre per year,

Kerala is facing severe water scarcity in summer season. The college is taking

appropriate measures for water conservation. Students are made aware of the need of

conserving water. The NSS units of the college take a lead role in this regard. Boards are

displayed nearby all water taps to reduce the use of water.

It is also proposed to install water harvesting facility in the college campus .The message

is being given to students regarding the importance of water conservation. The natural

pond water in the campus is properly used for gardening and agricultural purposes.

Efforts are taken to spread the messages on the importance of water conservation and the

college celebrates the World Water Day on 22nd

March every year. The college intends to

create a generation of students who are ecologically responsible.

Plastic-free campus:

The campus is declared as „plastic-free‟. Use of plastic is strictly restricted on the

campus. Students are advised not to bring plastic carry bags into the campus. The policy

of “refuse, reduce and reuse” is promoted on the campus. Separate bins are kept on the

NAAC SSR 2016


campus to collect plastic materials. Use of flex boards is also discouraged and cloth

banners and paper posters are promoted inside the campus. Students are advised to follow

a plastic free culture in their homes too.

Workshops and seminars are conducted in the college to make students aware of the

hazards of using plastics. Participation of local body leaders are also over whelming in

such workshops and seminars. The college always endeavors to reduce the volume of e-

waste in the college premises. It is pertinent to mention that a group of self motivated

students are working hard to decipher the importance of waste management system.

Medicinal Plants

Kerala is a land of ayurvedic legends. The state is bestowed with rich verities of

medicinal plants and blessed with rare knowledge. To tap this potential segment, the

college administration has meticulously designed a medicinal plant garden. Medicinal

plants are planted in front of the college. Nearly 100 varieties of plants have been planted

and their names are displayed. Students are also advised to collect more medicinal plants

and set up gardens at their homes. NSS volunteers and the members of Nature Club took

a lead role in the setting up of medicinal plants garden. Medicinal plant exhibition

conducted annually which has attracted students from neighboring institutions and public

from all walks of life.

Litter Free Campus

The college is very sensitive to the „Swatchh bharath abhiyan” mission. A clean

surrounding can certainly increase the quality of the learning atmosphere. To attain this

end, the campus is declared as litter free. Boards displaying this message are placed on

the campus. Waste bins in separate colours are kept in different corners of the campus for

bio degradable and non-degradable wastes to create a sense of cleanliness in the minds of

students. The common practice of spitting in the college premises is warned through

pictograms. The ultimate objective is to establish serene litter free eco-friendly campus.

NAAC SSR 2016


7.2 Innovations

Community reach programme

Community reach programmes are organized under various banners. The college NSS

unit is continuously organizing various community reach programmes like medical

camps, blood donation camps, coaching and awareness classes etc. various departments,

clubs and other organisations of the students and faculty members are also actively

involved in community extension services. Support and financial aids are provided to the

needy poor people in the surrounding areas. Besides, the college has a unique system of

approaching the community reach programme. Each department has tailored their own

social activities by incorporating their academic pursuits. For example, the Department of

Zoology has made an awareness programme for explaining the rationale behind banning

trawling during the monsoon season. It has helped the localites to understand to co–

operate with the policies of the government.

NSS unit of the college provided books to neighbouring U.P School. Toys for play school

students are given to neighbouring „Anganvadi‟. In association with RCC, the NSS unit

made an oral cancer detection programme. Health surveys are done for providing

awareness classes to Life style diseases. In association with Kidney Foundation,

awareness about kidney diseases were given to neighbouring common people.

Collaborating with IMA, the NSS unit donates blood more than three times a year. NSS

unit, as a part of student skill development, prepared pickles and marketed it in the brand

name „Campus Ruchi’.

INFLIBNET

As part of National Information Policy of the Govt. of India, the college is also extending

internet access to students and teachers by providing with high bandwidth facilities. The

teaching community is sharpening their skills in teaching by using various web sites and

INFLIBNET. Teachers and students were encouraged to access INFLIBNET and NLIST

introduced in the general library and many are presently using the facility to a larger

NAAC SSR 2016


extent. This has helped in the easy search of modern developments in the teaching

learning process besides the collection of materials at the least effort.

Blood Donation campaign

Blood donation is one of the most counted philanthropic activities. The college is

committed in moulding a generation who can be much helpful for the needy. Every year

the college is arranging blood donation camps. These camps are organized on the campus

by the NSS units. A directory of the students who are willing to donate blood is kept with

the NSS programme officers. Students, teachers and office staff are always available for

blood donation. The college often caters to the demands from the sub centre of RCC

functioning near the college. Blood collection camps are organized on the campus quite

frequently with the help of the Mobile Blood Bank under the IMA. In the camp held in

last academic year around 100 students donated their blood.

Medical Camps

Medical camps are organized on the campus every year under the women‟s study unit.

Expert doctors and medical personnel from various institutes like PHC Chavara, Valiyath

hospital etc. camped in the college and provided medical checkups, treatments and

medicines for the needy. Women‟s cell of the college provided counseling to students.

The cell conducts separate classes on health and hygiene issues. The department of

physical education is monitoring the physical well-being of students by conducting

regular check-ups. Besides, the department has celebrated the Yoga day and has

conducted a class on its regular practice.

Film Festival

In order to enhance the ability of students in appreciating performing arts, the college is

grooming students with such bent of minds. Film festivals are organized on the campus

under the College Union and the Department of English. The English Department has

been conducting annual film festival for the last 5 Years. It also organized a film festival

on World Classics in December 2015.

NAAC SSR 2016


Student Feedback System

A well designed teaching-learning system must have rooms for evaluation .Unlike the

traditional one way evaluation, in our college we have provisions for evaluating the

teaching system. The teaching system includes teacher and related logistics. A student

feedback system has been successfully implemented in the college. At the end of every

academic year, a feedback from students is collected in a prescribed format. Through this,

the students are given chance to evaluate their teaching system on a rating scale. The

feedback from the students about each teacher is collected and coded with the help of

computer, the results are given to the respective teachers. The system helps teachers to

improve their quality of teaching as well as developing a healthy and good relation with

the student community.

Sick Room

Our students occasionally experience sickness and other health problems. To face such

issues the college has set up a sick room with essential facilities for retiring in case of

illness. A room with proper lighting and ventilation is arranged for the purpose. First Aid

equipments, emergency medicines, wheel chair, stretcher trolley, cot etc. are available in

the sick room. In case of emergency expert services are made available.

NET / competitive exams Coaching:

Coaching for UGC NET and JRF examination is provided for the PG Students. Students

are made aware of the examinations from the beginning of the course itself. The teachers

in the department and external faculty members offer various coaching sessions. Books,

materials and internet resources are also made available to students. The PG Department

of Mathematics is providing NET/GATE coaching in evening sessions. IT skill

development programmes for UG students are given by a team of teachers with computer

knowledge. Communicative skill development classes are provided by English

department with the aid of language lab. Both internal and external mentoring sessions

are provided to selected students under the banner Walk With a Scholar Programme. The

NAAC SSR 2016


objective of the programme is to ensure the overall development and enhance

employability of students.

Internal Examination System

The college conducts a full-fledged internal examination at the end of each semester. The

question pattern, conduct and evaluation are exactly those of university examinations so

that the students get a good opportunity to prepare for their end semester university

examination. Printouts of model question papers are provided to students at free of cost.

Regular class test are done to assess the comprehensive level of students and to assure

their academic progress. Weaker students are supported under SSP. After the internals,

the grades of the students are intimated to the students for their betterment. Based on their

previous academic grades a profile of each student is maintained in the department and it

enable the college for ongoing assessment system.

7.3. Best Practices.

7.3.1. Title : Care and Share

As a college where most of the students belong to the poor socio economic background, it was

felt by the teachers and staff that at least some of these students are provided with financial

support. By way of e-grants and scholarships the government already provides financial

assistance to the economically poor and meritorious students. Unfortunately much of these

financial assistance is distributed very late and some even after the completion of the course.

There are also students who are in real need of help but are not covered by e-grants or

scholarships. A new endeavor „Care and Share‟ is envisaged by the College and a project

proposal for the Scheme was prepared and submitted to the Directorate of Collegiate Education

and got it approved. An initial fund of Rs. 80000 was mobilised for this purpose through

voluntary donation from teachers and non teaching staff. The Care and Share programme has

been formally inaugurated by Sri M. Nanda Kumar IAS, Director, Department of Collegiate

Education, Government of Kerala. A Committee is constituted under the chairmanship of the

Principal to go ahead with its registration and selection of beneficiaries.

Selection process

NAAC SSR 2016


Urgency and genuineness of need are the twin criteria for selection of the beneficiary. The

selection process should not put the student under any kind of mental agony. If needed, the

selection shall be based on a site inspection by a team of at least three members of the Executive

committee.

Transparency and accountability

The „Care and Share‟ fund should have proper accountability. „Care and Share‟ to be registered

under the Thiru Kochi Scientific, literary and charitable Societies Registration Act 1955 with a

well formulated bye-law with provision for audit of accounts with a Chartered Accountant. The

annual accounts are to be published and distributed to all stake holders..

7.3.2. Elder-Care

Old-Age Care and the allied issues are perturbing the state for the last few decades. The

responsible younger generation need to be sensitive to this burning issue. In this direction the

college has designed an intelligent intervention. The college has understood the importance of

new generation and their role in old age caring in the near future. If our students are trained or

made aware of this issue, there can be a positive change in our society by caring the older

generation. The purpose of this very programme is to address this issue in a systematic and

scientific manner. The fragmentalised old age groups are purposively grouped in to three

sections. Viz, the old age category with terminal immobility, old age category with slight or

minor physical issues, and old category but capable of normal functions. These groups are

engaged regularly with our peer groups from college and members of NGO (kudumbashree,

prominent NGO in Kerala).

As a first step in this practice we have conducted a comprehensive survey of the selected three

local self government bodies and the data base has made in to the form of

directory. Kudumbashree, being the prominent NGO, which has been selected as the nodal

agency of National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), has consented to undertake this

project in the selected three panchayaths in the Chavara constituency due to the able guidance

of the then MLA and Minister for Labour and Skills Shri.Shibu Babyjohn. To deliberate the

issues on old age care, a meeting has been summoned. As result of this deliberation, a project

report was prepared with the technical support of our students. Considering the social gravity

of this issue, the State Rural Livelihood Mission has approved the entire project. Subsequently

NAAC SSR 2016


the project was taken up by the NRLM with the recommendations of the state government.

The NRLM has sanctioned a lucrative sum of 30 lakhs per local body. Finally the project has

got a flag off by the then Minister for Social Justice Dr.M.K.Muneer. As a part of the social

extension activity, the students are conducting a social audit to evaluate the socio- economic –

psycho effects of this programme among the elderly community as a beneficiary.
