Preface

Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, registered under 2f & 12B of the UGC Act, is submitting the Self Study report for Re-assessment and Re-accreditation for the second cycle. The College has undergone its assessment and accreditation by NAAC in October 2005, and was awarded ‘B++’ in February 2006. The NAAC visit gave our College a new vista and impetus to undertake a march towards a new height. During the past years we have given best to develop our institution in all respects with the support of all the stakeholders of the college. We can say with great joy that during this period the College has grown into a great abode of learning that has not only sheltered thousands of youngsters but has also moulded them into great personalities, now spread across the country. During the preparation of the Self Study Report we have found full cooperation and assistance from all the stakeholders. We most gratefully acknowledge their unflinching support. Without such cooperation it would not be possible for us to be only the second college in the state to submit ourselves to the second cycle of the Re-accreditation process.

Executive Summary At this moment of presenting our Self Study Report (SSR) to National Assessment and

Accreditation Council (NAAC) in connection with the Reaccreditation of Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, 24 Parganas (North), West Bengal in the Second Cycle, we would like to undertake a short-tour: from the history to the present of our College, which would surely reveal the future roadmap of all-comprehensive development of this great institution.

I

The Legacy

Sree Chaitanya College, Habra occupies a very distinguished status in the higher education

map of the district of North 24 Parganas as well as of the state of West Bengal. The

institution with its imposing building-structures amid a lush green of more than 20 acres of

land, overlooking Jessore Road (NH 35), is about 40 km from Kolkata. The college was

established in 1956, primarily to cater the need of the thousands of hapless youth who, owing

to partition of the country were forced to settle almost as paupers in this part of the state but

had nourished deep in their hearts an inextinguishable urge to pursue higher education to

overcome their present miseries.

But their dream would have never been realised without the initiative of the Habra Siksha

Parishad and kind patronage of Government of West Bengal under the legendary Chief

Minister, the late Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. However, the project was given a proper shape by

the youngest Minister in the Roy-Cabinet, the late Tarun Kanti Ghosh, who was also an MLA

from Habra. The College began its journey in the premises of Habra High School; then

shifted to site of Bangiya Christian Council; and finally to its present premises on October 5,

1958. It is a matter of prestige that in October 1958, the Government of India recognised the

institution as a Degree College on sponsored basis, dedicated mainly to the education of the

displaced students from the erstwhile East Pakistan, in the Intermediate and Bachelor Degree

in Arts and Science, with affiliation from University of Calcutta, with effect from the

academic session 1958-59.

As time rolled on, the College grew into a giant academic institution with Honours

Departments in Arts and Science subjects. The College has always been blessed with a bunch

of gifted teachers, with brilliant academic career, and a band of dedicated non-teaching staff,

including librarians. The hard work of the whole of the College staff has helped produce

generations of excellent students with very good academic results, many of whom have

become university-toppers. Many of our former students have been very successful in life as

school/college/university teachers; researchers in renowned institutions in India and abroad;

bureaucrats and technocrats in government services or business corporations; journalists,

authors and theatre personalities of repute.

The College Now

From 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the College

came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008-09. We offer 14

courses in Honours subjects and 16 courses in General subjects according to syllabi framed

by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU. Although, the College does not enjoy

autonomy to frame syllabi/curricula at the Undergraduate (UG) level, a few teachers, in the

capacity of being the members of the UG-BOS of their respective subjects, take part in

syllabus-framing. Here, it would be appropriate to mention that for last few years, we have

also introduced Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and Bengali, with

huge response from the students’ community. In these Courses, the College has its own PG-

BOS, which frame their own respective syllabus, and thus contribute to the development of

higher education. Beside regular courses, we also offer distance education courses both at the

UG and PG levels as a unit of Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU).

The regular UG Courses are of three years, which a student must complete within a

maximum span of five years as per University regulations. Students enjoy freedom to switch

over to a new subject or stream within three months from the date of admission, according to

Merit List and subject to vacancy. They are admitted to Honours Courses purely on the basis

of results in the Higher Secondary and equivalent examinations. Seats are reserved for the

students from SC/ST/OBC background as per rule.

The College has a huge treasure of valuable reference as well as text books, kept in the Main

Library and Departmental Libraries. The science departments are equipped with most up-to-

date laboratories and scientific instruments. Most of the departments have their computers

with internet facilities; some science departments have computer laboratories. The students

also enjoy the facilities of ICT classrooms. Some departments have ICT classrooms of their

own, some departments avail this facility jointly.

A detailed academic calendar, showing the allotment and workload, time frame and internal

examinations schedule, is made at the beginning of each session. Class-room teaching is

supplemented by (i) occasional holding of seminar-lectures on particular topics; (ii)

arrangement of lectures by students; (iii) publication of departmental journals as well as wall-

magazines;(iv) educational tours; and (v) special lectures by eminent teachers of universities

and other colleges.

The College also follows the RTI Act, and has set up a Public Information Cell. Some other

Cells that need special mentioning are: a) Anti-sexual harassment Cell; b) Anti-ragging Cell;

c) Career Guidance Cell; d) Women’s Cell and e) Research and Development (R&D) Cell. Recently, a Campus Film Society came into being with affiliation from Federation of Film

Societies of India (this National Body was founded in 1959, with the legendary master

Satyajit Ray as the President, and at times, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Minister of

Information and Broadcasting, had been the Vice-President) to inculcate the value of

cinematic appreciation of feature as well as documentary masterpieces. In West Bengal, only


6

two ‘Campus’ Film Societies exist till now: one at Visva Bharati Kala Bhavan and the second is our institution.

In short, our idea of academic excellence is holistic. This means that we ask ourselves

continually what comprises excellence in education. We do not limit ourselves to covering

the prescribed syllabus, though no latitude is entertained in this respect. But, looking beyond

the boundaries of the syllabi, we also continually ask what education in a holistic sense

should involve and how best to attain it.

Finally, we firmly believe in an all-round development of our students. We encourage them

to seriously take up co-curricular and extracurricular activities along with academic pursuits.

We have more than one play grounds, an open-air theatre and one auditorium. Besides, there

are separate well-equipped gymnasiums for boys and girls. We also provide separate indoor

games facilities for boys and girls. The elected Students’ Union organises, with the guidance

of teachers and staff of the College, annual sports, cultural programmes and various social

welfare activities, and helps to develop and maintain ideal and healthy student-teacher-

administration relations.

Thus, there is no doubt that Sree Chaitanya College, Habra all along has stood for the holistic

development of the students. It has spelt out its vision of sharing learning with humanity for a

very human cause to transform citizens, who, in turn, shall change our society into a place,

where, in the words of Rabindranath Tagore:

….the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit…

The pages that follow will provide comprehensive information as well as throw more light

on the various facets of our institution that submit itself to be assessed and accredited for the

second cycle. Hope the outcome of this whole exercise will be fruitful and conducive to

achieving greater heights of success.

Criteria-wise Activities

Criterion I: Curricular Aspects

Sree Chaitanya College, Habra was established on August 2, 1956. The College began its journey came to its present premises on October 5, 1958 with affiliation from University of Calcutta (CU); from 2008; with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the College came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008-09. Presently, we offer 14 courses in Honours subjects and 2 courses in General subjects according to syllabi framed by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU. For last few years, Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and Bengali, have been introduced, with huge response from the students’ community, particularly for last two Courses. In these Courses, the College has its own PG-BOS, which frame their own respective syllabus. The change in the curriculum for the Undergraduate levels from the academic year 2009-10, has resulted in the rescheduling of the entire course content. A large number of faculty members as BOS members contributed for the same. The WBSU organises workshops and seminars in the teaching learning aspects of the newly introduced curriculum. Teachers are consulted on academic matters whenever the University takes a new decision. Consistent efforts are made by the institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction. Teaching plans are prepared. Class rooms are ICT enabled with LCD projectors and internet facilities. E-learning through ICT is made available. The College allocates adequate funds for the purchase of books, materials, equipments and apparatuses. The College enriches University prescribed curricula by organising seminars, workshops, skill based courses, field trips and publishing a research journal. Weeklong value education workshops are conducted to sensitise students on contemporary social and personal issues. The college makes an effort to address cross cutting issues of gender, environment, human rights etc. Information Technology is an essential component of the curriculum. The institution offers 14 UG Honours Courses (8 Science and 6 Arts/Social Sciences) and two PG (Bengali and Chemistry) Courses. It also offers 16 UG General Courses including Defence Studies and Journalism and Mass Communication. The PG Courses are self-financed. Recently, the college has also introduced Add-on Certificate course. The IQAC monitors different developmental activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular. Informal feedback on the curriculum is obtained from various stakeholders and the same is used by the faculty to enhance the curriculum. It is also used by faculty who are the members of BOS for implementation while restructuring curriculum by the university. Three new PG

programmes were introduced since our previous accreditation. One new General UG

Course in Physical Education will be introduced (got necessary permission from

appropriate authorities) from the academic year 2015-16.

Criterion II: Teaching-Learning and Evaluation Sree Chaitanya College is a very reputed and well-known college in the district of North 24 Pgs and also in the state of West Bengal. Students from other districts also seek admission to our college. Wide publicity is made available in order to invite applications during the admission period. The Admission Sub-Committee deals with the admission process. Counselling in selection of the course is provided by the committee. Online admission has been adopted for better transparency. Mode of admission is on the basis of merit at the qualifying examination and as per reservation rules. The process of admission is carried out as per norms laid down by WBSU and Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal. The admission process is annually reviewed. Remedial classes, peer learning and counselling are provided to slow learners. Advanced learners are offered the Book Bank facility. They are encouraged into leadership, organizational and academic responsibilities. Economically weaker students are provided with concession in fees, besides scholarships from Government and Non-Government agencies, and the College authority allows payment of fees in instalments. The educational Policy of the college addresses the issues of environment, gender bias and inclusive education. Value education workshops sensitize students on empowerment of the girl child, saving Mother Earth, combating social evils and inculcating equality and brotherhood. An Academic Calendar of teaching-learning-evaluation is prepared. The IQAC facilitates the planning and improvement of the teaching, learning and evaluation process. With a focus on the learner-centred approach, the faculty uses the lecture-cum-discussion method, presentation, assignment mode etc. ICT and LCD with wi-fi internet is used in the teaching-learning process. Independent learning is encouraged through e-learning. Some of the faculty members are trained to conduct online courses. The College adopts the pattern of examination and evaluation prescribed by the affiliating University which involves continuous assessment. The library has a large collection of books, journals and magazines. Online resources from INFLIBNET contribute towards the learning process. Individual departments review the progress in teaching and learning through departmental meetings, lesson plans, audit of question papers, syllabus completion reports and student feedback to monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching-learning. The culture of learning created by the institution over the years and its reputation in the pursuit of excellence motivates the students and teachers to join the institution. Out of the 57 confirmed teachers in substantive posts and 3 Librarians and one GLI, 35 have Ph.D. degree, 07 have M.Phil Degree. Among 12 Part-time teachers, one has an M. Phil Degree. However, the College is also facing an acute crisis in filling up of approved substantive teaching posts despite several and continuous official efforts following proper channels. We have 85 approved posts of full-time teachers. Thus, there is a huge gap between the demand and supply! Recently, the Principal has submitted requisitions for 22 full-time teaching posts to West Bengal College Service Commission (WBCSC). He has also applied for de-reservation of some seats, after the WBSC failed to recommend sufficient number of teachers belonging to SC/ST/OBC Categories. This situation compels the College to appoint several Permanent Part-time and Guest Teachers to fill up the dearth. At present, we have altogether 113 faculty members, including the Principal, Full-time Teachers, Librarians, GLI, Part-time and guest teachers. The Faculty Enrichment Programme (FEP) helps teachers to update knowledge and skills so as to deal with adolescents as well as expand the horizon of their own knowledge . The


9

College encourages its teachers to undertake research for which the college has instituted a Diamond Jubilee Research Fund. Some of our teachers have availed of FIP. The Faculty presents research papers which are then published in recognized journals thereby providing opportunities for promotion of research activities. All efforts are made by the college to achieve the required learning outcome. The institution has recorded excellent results over the years. Records of academic as well as other achievements are maintained by the college. The college has enhanced the social and economic relevance of its courses by organising sessions on career training, campus interviews and certificate courses. Interaction through the Parent Teacher Meetings assists the institution to further bring about improvement in the teaching-learning process. The college strives to uphold its mission of moulding its students into disciplined citizens with intellectual, emotional and spiritual balance.

Criterion III: Research, Consultancy and Extension Imparting of quality education at Sree Chaitanya College is supported by research and development. The college has a Research and Development Cell (R&D), under the leadership of IQAC, which publishes a research journal, Sree Chaitanya College Research Journal, organises research related sessions/seminars and encourages faculty to pursue Ph.D. for which leave under FIP is sanctioned. Efforts are being made to develop the R&D as a Research Centre. We have applied to West Bengal Higher Education Council for its recognition of this Centre. The College invites eminent researchers to deliver lectures to promote a scientific temper and a research culture among students and teachers. The PG students take up research oriented projects. The College has acquired grants from UGC for research. We have also instituted the Sree Chaitanya College Diamond Jubilee Research Fund to promote research. Faculty and students working on research projects are provided with facilities such as books, journals, ICT, internet and equipments. The Faculty members have published research papers in state, national and international journals besides authoring and editing books. The institution has several community service programmes. These services are promoted through NCC, various Cells/Club: teaching and non-teaching staff also participate in the same. These programmes have empowered students with skills of team work and evoked social consciousness. The college has forged relationships with many local institutions to conduct outreach and extension programmes.

CRITERION IV: INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

The campus is located on a property measuring 89,030.83 sq.m. (22 acres).

The Counselling Cell along with services of a professional counsellor is available on campus while the Mentoring System extends academic, career and personal guidance. The Placement Cell organizes campus recruitment. The college records excellent results with students obtaining ranks at the university examination. Students at the undergraduate level who wish to pursue higher education are able to do so with the institution offering a Master’s programme in three disciplines. However, the PG Course in Anthropology is suspended now due to dearth of students. The College has received several laurels and awards in inter-collegiate events. Students write articles for college magazines and departmental newsletters. Leadership roles are created through election to the Students’ Union (SU). The Elected Student Council takes a lead in organizing co-curricular activities. Students find representation at academic and administrative bodies like the Governing Body (GB), IQAC and Clubs. It contributes greatly toward the development of the college.


11

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

Our vision and mission ensure opportunities for holistic growth. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) reviews the functioning of the Institution and suggests measures for improvement. The GB monitors the functioning of the College, through the Principal (the Secretary and ex-officio member of the GB) and several subcommittees represented by Internal GB Members. The college promotes a culture of participative management. The faculty members are appointed as convenors/co-convenors of the various committees/cells/associations/clubs. Committees perform their tasks independently. Special sessions on motivation are conducted for non-teaching staff where their interest is continually renewed and their work proficiency is enhanced. Individual departments are given freedom to plan and organize academic activities related to their subject such as framing practical timetables, choosing and inviting guest speakers, sending students for field trips and other sessions outside the college. The college has developed a Master Infrastructure Development Plan which is being implemented in phases. The Diamond Jubilee Administrative Block and enhancement of ICT are planned. The foundation stone of the former has already been laid by the Higher Education Minister of the State Government. The college has constituted the Grievance Redressal Committee, Sexual Harassment Committee and Anti-Ragging Committee. Students can voice their feedback at Students’ Union meetings. The ‘Mentoring System’ brings about personality enhancement in the students. A Suggestion Box is placed on the campus.

Decisions taken by the IQAC are implemented by the college. Students and alumni are represented in the IQAC. The College has set up committees for administrative and academic work.

CRITERION VII: Innovations and Best Practices

The college has made the campus eco-friendly by planting trees and promoting the use of non-conventional sources of energy. Trees and plants on the campus are documented. Once in a week, the institution ‘Switch Off’ electricity for 15 minutes contributing towards carbon neutrality. Participants of seminars are given jute/paper bags instead of plastic bags and guests are offered potted plants instead of flower bouquets. Eco-friendly practices include plantation drives, anti-plastic drives, documentary and movie screening.

Two of our best practices include Faculty Enrichment Programme (FEP) and Mentorship Programme. The two day FEP, conducted successfully for past two years, is a means to enrich the faculty, aiming towards their self development and enhancing their professional competency. The Mentorship Programme aims at providing support and guidance towards self development of the student in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality.

Criterion I

Curricular Aspects

As stated in the beginning, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra is one of the most distinguished

academic institutions in the district of North 24 Parganas as well as of the state of West

Bengal. The college, situated on Jessore Road (NH 35), was established on August 2, 1956,

primarily to cater the need of the thousands of hapless ‘refugee’ youth who, owing to partition of the country were forced to settle almost as paupers in this part of the state. We

gratefully remember the contributions of Dr. B.C. Roy, the first Chief Minister of West

Bengal, the Late Tarun Kanti Ghosh, a Minister in the Roy-cabinet and a few other

educationists towards establishment of this institution. The College began its journey in the

premises of Habra High School and came to its present premises on October 5, 1958 with

affiliation from University of Calcutta (CU), with effect from the academic session 1958-59.

The Government of India also recognised the institution as a Degree College on sponsored

basis (October, 1958). From 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University

(WBSU), the College came to be affiliated to it, with effect from the academic session 2008-

09. Presently, we offer 14 courses in Honours subjects and 3 courses in General subjects

according to syllabi framed by respective Boards of Studies (BOS) of WBSU. For last few

years, we have also introduced Post Graduate (PG) Courses in Anthropology, Chemistry and

Bengali, with huge response from the students’ community, particularly for last two Courses. In these Courses, the College has its own PG-BOS, which frame their own respective

syllabus, and thus contribute to the development of higher education. Beside regular courses,

we also offer distance education courses both at the UG and PG levels. A unit of Indira

Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was set up in the College in 2008. However,

owing to deficiency of students that Unit does not function any more. Beside IGNOU, the

College has been imparting distance education at UG and PG levels as a unit of Netaji Subhas

Open University (NSOU) since 1999. The NSOU Unit of the College is being run

successfully till date.

1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 Vision of the College:

Character Formation through Knowledge and Value-based

Education for Transformation of the Society and the Nation

Our Mission:

a) To suit the above ‘Vision’, the ‘Mission’ of the College is to provide balanced, value based and knowledge based education

informed by latest technology, with a view to instilling self-confidence

among the students, in order to turn them into sensitive, dedicated and


27

disciplined citizens who will display a high intellectual calibre,

together with emotional balance and social commitment and

particularly at helping the students with backward social and economic

backgrounds living around the institution.

b) The college aims at moulding and shaping the students as good

citizens with qualities of mind and heart showing commitment towards

the nation as well as the community in which they live, extending the

role of governance and leadership in discharging the different

activities to its stakeholders and inculcating innovative practices. With

such orientation students are expected to get involved in societal

transformation.

c) Needless to say that since our College was established to serve the

higher education needs of the hapless of youth, who had to bear the toll

of Partition, we have always strove to spread education among this

section of the society. Besides, we have to cater a huge number of

students coming from the First Generation Literate families. Thus, our

Vision and Mission does not come from any ivory tower but from the

‘real’ situation around us.

Objectives:

1. To strike a balance between the traditional and latest methods of

pedagogy/teaching, with regular feedback from students and

guardians, in order to pursue the goal of “Advancement of Learning”.

2. To prepare our students to undertake and cope with the future

responsibilities in different walks of life both in the professional

and social arena.

3. To help the society and community around us with the lamp of

knowledge.

1.1.2 Institutional development and deployment of Action Plan for

Effective Implementation of the Curriculum:

The Objectives, stated above, which reflects the spirit of our Mission, are achieved through the effective implementation of the curriculum in the following ways:

Discipline based learning with a support of a Teaching plan

Student Centric Learning

Value Based Education

Value Added Education

Interdisciplinary Learning

Provision of Academic Flexibility

Knowledge and skills in Arts, Sciences, Humanities

Knowledge and skills in Communication and ICT.


28

Development of Learning Outcome in the autonomous

courses

Promotion of Co-curricular and Extra-curricular

programmes

The College divides the processes of implementation of the curriculum, round the year, in the following stages:

1. The entire faculty and the department, under the guidance of IQAC, Academic Sub-committee, Faculty Council (PG) and Board of studies (PG) frame strategies to develop action plan for the implementation of curriculum as well as schedule of co-curricular and extracurricular activities at the beginning of every academic year.

2. Every department conducts meetings to assess the progress of syllabus and prepares teaching plans by consulting Academic Diary/Log Book basing it on the Academic Calendar of the concerned streams.

3. Faculty developed teaching plans and curriculums are executed with different teaching methodologies in both undergraduate and post graduate courses. To make the most of the Curriculum, many Departments invite faculties from other Departments of the College, who have proven expertise in inter-disciplinary fields. Plenty use of ICT and innovative methods of teaching and learning is encouraged.

Co-curricular programmes: Co-curricular programmes for enriching the curriculum include seminars, debates and discussions, assignments and project work, fieldwork and industrial visits, regular examinations, Add-on/Certificate courses, Communicative English and Soft Skill development, activities of NCC etc. 1.1.3 Support from the University and the Institution for Effectively Translating the

Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices:

Support from the University: The College, as already has been mentioned, had been affiliated to University of Calcutta between 1956 and 2007. During this period the CU had inspired and motivated the teachers of the College to participate in various Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices through various activities like inducting teachers in the UG Board of Studies (BOS), conducting various Orientation Programmes (OP) and Refresher Courses (RC), organising Workshops before and after the introduction of new syllabi and also supplying various study materials, in Departments, when needed. Since 2008, with the foundation of WBSU, the syllabi of all the courses of UG level through UG-BOS have been thoroughly revised. It has also played an effective role for Translating the Curriculum and Improving Teaching Practices of the institution. The University informs and motivates the institution regarding the Orientation and Refresher Courses for the teachers in order to improve the quality of teaching as well as provide opportunities for professional and academic growth. The university organises workshops and seminars in the teaching learning aspects of the newly introduced curriculum. Teachers are consulted on academic matters whenever the University takes a new decision. Many of them are members of various Board of Studies of the University (undergraduate level).

A: Paper Presentation, B: Participation

Support from the Institution: Since inception, the college has constantly motivated the teachers to face the challenges of academic pursuit compatible with modern demands. Till date, it follows this policy. At the end of every session, the Academic Calendar for the next session is prepared by a group of senior and experienced teachers, nominated by IQAC. Then, at the beginning of every new session, the Academic Sub-Committee, under the

leadership of IQAC, chalks out an Annual Lesson Plan for all the departments based on the Academic Calendar. Then every Department prepares a Departmental Lesson Plan, which is carried through ICT backed class room teaching and other innovative practices. The college has also introduced Add-on Certificate course. Value Education, Counselling and

Soft skills Development courses are done through Week-long Students’ Workshops. The college library also provides adequate support to teachers in regard to teaching as well as research with a vast number of reference books, e-books/journals and INFLIBNET N-List. (i) For research oriented working atmosphere WI-FI internet connection in Library is provided; (ii) LCD projector, OHP and other computer facilities are given for effective teaching and learning; (iii) Tutorial and Remedial classes for slow and weak learners are held; (iv) well-equipped laboratories with Technical support are provided wherever required; (v) a seminar hall with ICT for conducting seminars and workshops is also provided. The IQAC Initiative: Since its inception, the IQAC monitors different developmental activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular. It facilitates the process of participation of the faculty in different International/National/State-level Seminars/Symposia/Conferences, and also in up-gradation courses like, Orientation Programmes and Refresher Courses. It also promotes awareness to the faculty regarding the new developments in the educational scenario. It encourages faculty to have more publications and helps them in project preparation and fund raising initiatives from various National funding agencies. As per the recommendation of IQAC the college provides funds for research work. Further, to facilitate and monitor the research activities by the teachers the R&D Cell takes initiatives, under the leadership of IQAC.

Improvement and Outcome:

The College regularly maintains the student feedback mechanism to make the teacher aware of and rectify his/her shortcomings in order to improve their ability as teacher.


30

The college functioning is flexible enough to enable the faculty to undertake research projects and which in turn adds to their efficiency as teachers. During this period, two faculty members have availed of the FDP programme; one of our

faculties has completed his Post Doctoral Programme at the University of Alabama, USA,

under the prestigious Singh-Obama exchange programme for young scientists; and one of the

faculties has been selected as National Fellow at the Indian Institute for Advanced Studies,

Shimla. One of our faculty members guided several M.Tech theses in the department of Food

Technology & Biochemical Enginnering, Jadavpur University. Currently he acts as a joint

supervisor of three Ph.d students (one of them has already submitted his thesis) and one

M.Tech student at Jadavpur University. He was a visiting scientist (3 times) in the

nanotechnology group of Prof. Arturo Lopez Quintela at University of Santiago de

Compostela (USC), Spain. He has strong research collaboration with the scientists and

faculty members of USC, Spain, Dept of Chemistry, Calcutta University, Dept of Food

Technology &Biochemical Engineering, JU, SINP, Kolkata, IACS, Kolkata.

On the other score, at present 47 of our faculty members are PhD holders. Six faculty members have availed of the college funded MRP programme which might produce good research environment. The faculty has produced a total of 218 research publications in International /National /Regional Journals. There have been 40 publications of books including proceedings of national/international seminars and 55 chapters in books. Our faculty published 112 articles in reputed magazines and newspapers and edited six books. 1.1.4 Institutional Contribution to Effective Curriculum Delivery and Transaction:

Since 2008, with the founding of the West Bengal State University (WBSU), the change in the curriculum for the Undergraduate levels from the academic year 2009-10, has resulted in the rescheduling of the entire course content. A large number of faculty members as BOS members contributed for the same. At the autonomous PG levels the Semester system has been introduced since 2009 and the syllabus was reframed with a thrust on research oriented studies by the PG BOS of each department. Some initiatives and contributions made by this institution for the effective delivery and transaction of the curriculum provided by the University in an innovative and interactive way are:

In case of Post Graduate autonomous courses, the complete curriculum planning and delivery is done by the PG BOS and the Faculty Council.

In case of UG Courses, the syllabus is provided by the affiliating university and enrichment of curriculum is done by the college.

Academic Calendar is prepared every year as a blueprint for timely and effective coverage of the syllabus.

Academic Diary/Log Book is maintained in every Department. Equipments like computers, LCD projectors as well as LCD Screen etc are provided

for ICT Classes. Adequate flexibility is provided by the wide range in the choice of subjects to the

students in UG.


31

The IQAC takes constant feedback from all stakeholders like students, alumni, parents, industry and other experts.

1.1.5 Networking and interaction with Beneficiaries like Industry, Research Bodies and

the University:

The College often engages itself with different beneficiaries like University, Research Bodies and Industry. This is done in particular, in the Autonomous PG Department of Chemistry. Its BOS is constituted by members of various Universities. One of faculties, Dr. Debasis Das, with Medicinal Chemistry background, maintains contact with Pharma & Medicinal Industries with International repute, e.g. Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus Cadila, Wuxi Pharmatech Inc (Shanghai-based), Arromax Pharmatech Co. Ltd. (Suzhou [China] based) etc. It would be proper to mention here that Dr. Das has completed his Post-Doctoral research on Medicinal Chemistry at Duke University (NC), USA. Another faculty of the Department, Dr. Atanu Mitra, presently, is jointly supervising the PhD programmes at Dept. of Food Technology and Biochemical Engineering, Jadavpur University and Central University of Technology, Kokrajhar, Assam. On the other hand, the Autonomous Bengali PG Department also has reputed academics and scholars of different universities in its BOS. Through its Eminent Guest Faculties, such as Professor Pabitra Sarkar, famous linguist (JU) and erstwhile VC of Rabindra Bharati University (WB); Professor Sudhir Chakravarty, well-known researcher of Bengali music and folk culture, the Department maintains contact with various research bodies like Bangiya Sahitya Parishad, Asiatic Society etc. Some of the faculty members of other departments also engage the College in interaction with various Research Bodies of National/International repute. For example, Dr. Sibaji Pratim Basu, Dept. of Political Science, is the Secretary of Calcutta Research Group, an international research institute, well-known for its research on Forced Migration, Borders, Transit Labour, and Social Justice etc. College organises campus-recruitment programme through its Career Development and Placement Cell. Principal and Coordinator, IQAC interact with the HR teams, during their visit. They also attend different seminars to understand the necessity of the Industry. The Principal and the Coordinators, IQAC and NAAC Steering Committee, circulate the e-lectures of the Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India; Industrial Giants like Bill Gates and N.R. Narayanamurthy for generating inspiration among the students opting for recruitment in industries. 1.1.6 Contributions of the Institution / Staff Members to Developing the Curriculum by

the University:

As an affiliated college, the Institution mandatorily follows the UG syllabi prepared by the concerned UG Board of Studies of the University. Our faculty members of a good number of departments have contributed to framing of new syllabi, as nominated members in the UG Syllabus Committee of the WBSU. In the PG Courses, the teachers concerned take part in Curriculum Development as members of the PG BOS. Table 1.1.6 : Number of teachers participated in Curriculum Framing Committees

1.1.7 Curriculum for the Courses Offered Other than those Under the Purview of the

Affiliating University:

The Institution has developed curricula for three autonomous post graduate courses (Anthropology, Bengali & Chemistry) since the last visit of NAAC Peer Team. However, presently, owing to insufficiency of students, the PG Course in Anthropology is closed. Recently, we have also introduced one add-on Certificate Computer Course (recognized by National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology [NIELIT], Dept of I&T, GOI) 1.1.8 Analysis of Course Implementation by the Institution:

The College implements the Academic Courses in the following manner:

1. All academic initiatives in the College hover around Academic Calendar, which is prepared at the end of previous Academic Session.

2. At the beginning of every new session, the Academic Sub-Committee, under the

leadership of IQAC, chalks out an Annual Lesson Plan for all the departments based on the Academic Calendar.

3. Advantages/disadvantages of College Routine are reviewed at the beginning of every new session by the Routine Sub-Committee, and necessary changes as well as restructuring are done, when needed.

4. Every Department also prepares a Departmental Lesson Plan, which is carried through ICT backed class room teaching and other innovative practices.

5. The college has also introduced Add-on Certificate courses. Value Education,

Counselling and Soft skills Development courses are done through Week-long

Students’ Workshops. 6. A number of modes of assessment (e.g. Class Test, Quiz, Group Discussion,

Assignments, Posters, Power point presentations, Seminars etc., by the students) are formulated by the faculty in order to ensure that the stated objectives of our College are achieved.

1.2 Academic Flexibility

1.2.1 Certificate/Skill Development Courses offered by the Institution:

The college conducts a Certificate Course on computer and organises soft-skill-based workshop, the topics of which are decided as per the need-based requirement of the participants. Such courses provide add-on value to their degree. Courses conducted during academic year 2014-15 are indicated below.

Certificate Computer Course (recognized by National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Dept of I&T, GOI).

Soft-Skill Development Workshop.


33

1.2.2 Twinning /Dual Degree: The WBSU does not allow twinning /dual degree programmes. However, since we have a Centre of Netaji Subhash Open University (NSOU) in our College, which holds classes and conduct examinations on Sundays, our students, have the option, of obtaining ‘Dual Degree’ – one as a ‘regular’ student of under WBSU, and another as a student of ‘distant education’ under NSOU.

State Government have provided us with Government-approved full-time faculties in Geography, after being satisfied by our performance. Thus, presently, the students can study the subject without being burdened by the load of self-financing. However, the PG Courses in Bengali and Chemistry are run fully as Self-financed courses. Like the UG Courses, the Admission to Self-financed PG courses is done through online mechanism. Advertisements for Admission are published on our website as well as in reputed dailies. But the applicants have to apply only through online. Then the Merit lists are prepared and published on our website; the eligible candidates deposit requisite fees in the Sree Chaitanya College Branch of United Bank of India; finally, they are admitted after physical verification of relevant documents and brief interview. 1.2.5 Additional Skill Oriented Programmes:

The College under UGC Merged Scheme (XI Plan) has started organising ‘Entry to Service’ classes for the outgoing students of UG & PG. This includes preparation for School Service Examination (SSE), and competitive examinations like West Bengal Civil Service Examination, Bank Service Examination etc. Besides, short term courses are conducted by the departments, e.g. the English Department organises special classes for the development of Skill in Spoken English. 1.2.6 Flexibility of Combining the Conventional and Distance Mode of Education:

The WBSU does provide the students with the flexibility of combining the conventional face to face and distance mode of education for students to choose courses /combinations of their choice. As a result, a number of students of the commerce stream are pursuing parallel Intermediate course of CA and other courses of NSOU. Moreover, the academic and professional training offered by the institution as a horizontal curriculum benefit the students in terms of skill development, academic mobility, and progression to higher studies and improve potential for employability.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1 Differently-abled students:

In the admission process, though the number of differently-abled students is small, no

discrimination is made but special efforts are made to admit them. For students with walking

disabilities, lectures are held in classrooms on the ground floor. These arrangements of

convenience are provided to the concerned students so that an environment of inclusive

education is encouraged for their personal enhancement.

2.2.2 Assessment of the Students’ Needs in terms of Knowledge and Skills Before the Commencement of the Programme:

Students admitted to the college after Class XII General Examinations, are generally in a

position to cope with the subjects as they select the subject after receiving counselling from

the admission committee. In almost all the Streams, for instance, in the first two weeks from

the commencement of the academic year, the teachers make it a point to give an overall

background of the subject. This gives the students a chance to revise/revisit the basics of the

topics they have learnt in their schools and that definitely help bridging the gap of

inadequacy.

2.2.3 Strategies Drawn and Deployed by the Institution to Bridge the Knowledge Gap of

the Enrolled Students:

Remedial classes have been taken earlier for slow learners/economically/socially

weaker classes.

Tutorial classes are conducted in all the Hons. Departments.

Guest lecturers from different academic/research institutions are invited and their

lectures help students to get practical and in-depth knowledge on subject-related

areas.

The College has set up various Cells/Clubs to sensitise the Staff and Students on issues like

Gender, Inclusion and Environment.

We have set up, with the help from West Bengal Women’s Commission, Women’s Cell, and a Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell (as per Bishakha Guidelines and latest Acts).

This is also reinforced by the Principal when addressing the faculty, other staff and on

various occasions such as public functions, and especially, in seminars on Women’s Issues/Gender Sensitisation, organized in the institution.

The Nature Club of the College spreads the message of the importance of maintaining

environmental/ecological balance. Further, for regular reinforcement and inculcation of this

value among the students, we have installed many placards/boards throughout the College

premises, which carry various slogans on Green Environment. Thus, students are motivated

to keep a clean and litter-free environment in their class rooms and laboratories in particular,

and around the campus in general. Dustbins/Litter-bins are kept at strategically located places

within the college campus.

Value education workshops, conducted at the beginning of the Session, for all the students,

through which they are sensitized on various issues such as empowering the girl child, the

importance of education for the marginalized, the insistence on inclusion, saving Mother

Earth, environment-friendly causes and combating social evils. Through various

feature/documentary films, organised by the Film Club, the message of inclusive education

and social system is spread.

NCC students are sensitized about these issues through their programmes, inside the College,

and in various outside inter-college camps.

Each year, the Students’ Union undertakes various social capacity building programmes like Literacy Drive, Text Book Distribution etc for the poorer sections around the College

locality.

The Faculty also participates in various workshops and sessions on the above topics and in

turn has discussions with students in their classroom interactions. They are motivated to

acquire an inclusive attitude towards one and all. The twin values of equality and brotherhood

are inculcated in them.

In support of the ‘International Earth Hour’, every week, the institution encourages practice of ‘Switch Off’ of electricity for 15 minutes during the recess We have also installed ‘Main Switches’ outside every room, to avoid unnecessary misuse of power, which help us conserve

electric power and minimise carbon emission.

.2.2.5 Special Educational/Learning Needs of Advanced Learners:

On the basis of class interactions and performance (through Class Tests), advanced learners

are identified. Some of these students are provided with opportunities for leadership and

organizational responsibility in their respective classes. Group work, prior reading, article and

report writing are encouraged. Further, they are motivated and trained to participate in intra-

department/intra-college/inter-collegiate activities.

2.2.6 Data and Information on the Academic Performance:

The academic performance of students is evaluated by the respective Departments through

their continual interaction with them. Academic performance is also ascertained through their

attendance, class participation and performance in the examination. A number of students

tend to discontinue due to inability to cope with their studies: In cases of prolonged

irregularity in classes parents are duly informed well in advance. Weak students are provided

with remedial classes, peer learning opportunities and even counselling if required. In cases

where financial constraint becomes a problem for the students to continue their course, they

are provided with concessions and the management allows payment of fees in instalments.

Such measures have been taken up with the objective of minimizing the number of dropouts.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 Planning and Organization of the Teaching, Learning and Evaluation Schedules:

Academic Calendar is the pivot of academic planning in the College. It is prepared as

per University guidelines. The instructional days of teaching learning are fixed. Based

on that, the time table schedules and teaching plans are prepared at the beginning of

the academic year.

Departmental meetings are held to co-ordinate its activities.

Class tests and interactive classes, debates etc are held in many Departments.


47

A Routine Sub-Committee is constituted each year to review the routine, and

restructure it, when and where necessary.

2.4.5 Faculty who Received Awards at National Level for Excellence in Teaching:

State has least provision of recognition for such excellence in teaching. So, College not yet has any faculty member who has received such recognition. 2.4.6 Evaluation of Teachers by the Students:

The evaluation of teachers by the students is done at the end of the academic year wherein

students assess teachers on various teaching-learning parameters which range from teacher

effectiveness in the classroom to curriculum comprehension. The feedback received is

examined and each teacher is given feedback on those areas that may require improvement in

their individual performance.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 Awareness of Evaluation Process by Stakeholders:

The faculty of the College is apprised of the evaluation processes introduced by the

WBSU through staff meetings. The Examination Sub-Committee of the College

organises, when necessary, Orientation programmes at the time of introduction of new

evaluation/examination process by the university. Resource persons from reputed


55

institutions are invited to deliver talks. Senior teachers of the college conduct sessions

on evaluation processes.

Notices/Circulars/Ordinances pertaining to the pattern of examinations and the pattern

of the question papers are displayed by the College for the students. The new faculty

is given orientation on the duty of invigilation and the processes involved in matters

relating to examination malpractices by students and the general conduct to be

observed during invigilation.

Teachers update the students on the system of university evaluation in class.

Parents are briefed during the admission process.

The college handbook records the dates of internal evaluation. Besides, the students

are reminded of the schedule of the examination or changes, if any, through the notice

boards, electronic board and public address system.

2.5.2 Evaluation Reforms of the University:

The College adopts the pattern of evaluation which is prescribed by the WBSU. Recent

changes in syllabi and evaluation patterns in many subjects have its reflections on the

evaluation patterns of the College.

2.5.3 Effective Implementation of the Evaluation Reforms of the University and those

Initiated by the Institution on its Own:

For the smooth conduct of the Examination and the Evaluation thereafter, various committees

such as Examination Committee, Disciplinary Committee and Grievance Redressal Cell are

constituted by the college.

2.5.4 Formative and Summative Evaluation Approaches:

Formative Evaluation through Test Examinations (TEs) is conducted before every session.

Apart from TEs, other evaluation programmes such as Class Test, Assignments, Presentation,

Group Discussions, Quizzes etc are held regularly in different departments.

2.5.5 Monitoring and Communication of the Progress of Students:

Sree Chaitanya College has a systematic schedule of monitoring the progress of students. The

results of class tests are communicated to the students within a week of the conduct of the

examination. Parents also interact with the teacher-mentor. Besides, parents are intimated

when the progress and attendance of the candidate is not satisfactory.

2.5.6 Rigor and Transparency in the Internal Assessment:

Rigor and transparency in internal assessment is maintained. The students are informed in

advance about the weightage and details of internal exams. Marks obtained in internal exams

are announced. Discrepancy occurring therein is taken care of by the concerned teacher.

Rigor and transparency of setting of question paper evaluation of answer books and

declaration of result is strictly followed. WBSU has not provided weightage for the

behavioural aspects of the students.


56

2.5.7 Performance of Students as Indicator of Achievement:

The College uses the performance of students in the examinations as an important criterion to

record student progress. The college and its departments maintain the records of that

performance. The fulfilment of learning objectives is reflected in the outstanding

performance of the students at the examinations. Students of this Institution have been

awarded ranks and top places in all streams.

2.5.8 Redressal of Evaluation Related Grievances:

The college has constituted the following committees:

Grievance Redressal Cell

The Grievance Cell deals with students who are not satisfied with the assessment of

their answer books. Firstly, the student has to apply for verification of the answer

book. Verification is done in the presence of the student, subject teacher and

Principal/Senior teacher. If the student is not satisfied with the assessment then he/she

can apply to the committee expressing the grievance and reason for dissatisfaction. If

the Principal is convinced of the complaint being genuine then he allows the

reassessment of the answer book.

Disciplinary Committee

This committee investigates into cases of unfair means and malpractices adopted by

students during examinations. The procedures adopted for investigating cases of

unfair means is as follows: The candidate is served a notice and made aware of the

charges/allegations reported against him/her so as to enable him to prepare in advance

his/her defence before the committee. The quantum of punishment varies according

to the nature and severity of the grievance and may vary from case to case. A similar

procedure is followed by WBSU.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Learning Outcomes:

Criterion III

Research, Consultancy and Extension

Education for transformation and excellence can be attained if it is adequately supplemented and supported by research and development.

3.1 Promotion of Research

3.1.1 Research & Development Cell:

Since the inception, the College has encouraged individual and collective research by the faculty. For last couple of years, we are working in this respect under the leadership of a Research and Development Cell (R&D Cell) to facilitate, promote, preserve and publicise the research undertaken by the faculty. Although the R&D Cell works under the overall supervision of IQAC, it enjoys autonomy for its activities. It has a separate, fully equipped office of its own to pursue its goal. 3.1.2 Research Committee:

The composition of the R & D Cell comprises a Convenor and a few members. At present the following members of the faculty act as the Convenor and Members of R&D Cell.

1. Dr. Samarendra Nath Chatterjee (Chief Convenor) 2. Dr. Soma Bandyopadhyay (Acting Convenor) 3. Dr. Jyotibrata Dutta 4. Dr. Sagarika Chaudhuri 5. Dr. Sibaji Pratim Basu 6. Ms Manideepa Mitra Chakravorty 7. Dr. Saroj Kumar Chatterjee 8. Dr. Utpal Dasgupta

The following recommendations have been made by the R & D Cell to fulfil its objecives: a) Publication of Sree Chaitanya College Research Journal b) Formation of an archive/library for documentation of research papers/theses/others

published by the faculty c) To provide seed money to the faculty for research d) To collect information of the faculty involvement in active research

3.1.3 Facilitation of Research Schemes:

Faculty undertaking minor/major research projects are given freedom to engage in their respective work. Funds are duly released by the college. The necessary infrastructure and human resources needed to take up research projects are provided. The required equipments, apparatuses, ICT and library facilities are made available to the researcher. The college conducts timely audits and submits utilization certificate to the funding agency. 3.1.4 Development of Scientific Temper and Research Culture:

The institution promotes a Scientific Temper/Research Culture among students by


60

Assigning research projects to PG students Organizing seminars wherein students present research related papers at the PG level Inviting eminent researchers to deliver talks and interact with students Undertaking surveys and field work In the Science stream, projects based on experimental findings are undertaken Students are encouraged and trained to present their work at symposia and

competitions Workshops and sessions in research methodology are conducted Library, laboratory and ICT facilities are made available to the students

3.1.5 Faculty Involvement in Active Research:

Many of the faculty members of the College are engaged in serious research and affiliated with very reputed research institutions. Some are also working in projects funded by UGC. A list of some of the eminent researchers of this institution will reveal the importance and nature of their work.

Dr. Atanu Mitra, Department of Chemistry: Works in the field of nanoscience and

nanotechnology. He has long experience in preparation of metal and metal oxide

nanoparticles, nanoclusters, various nanocomposite, mesoporous materials and their

applications as an antimicrobial agent, catalyst etc. He had extensive research

experience in the national laboratories of Prof. D. K. Chattoraj, Jadavpur University &

Dr. Asim Bhaumik, IACS, Kolkata and international laboratories of Prof. Toyoko

Imae, Nagoya University, Japan & Prof. M. Arturo López-Quintela, Universidade de

Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Dr. Bibhas Kumar Dutta, Department of Physics: Studies on Laser induced

pressure-broadened absorption line-shape in trace-gas constituents which has an

impact on atmospheric remote gas sensing process. An estimation of values of

parameters involved in molecular interaction potential is another interesting outcome

of laser based absorption spectroscopic study in molecular or atomic level. Lamb-dip

or saturation spectroscopic study is a pre-requisite to perform high-resolution laser-

induced- coherence- spectroscopy, or laser-induced fluorescence in cold-atom. The

interesting quantum-optical phenomena like electromagnetically induced transparency

and absorption, gain without population inversion, coherent control of Raman gain,

modification of spontaneous emission and opto-atomic grating have potential

applications in laser physics, quantum information science and technology based on

atom optics and cavity-quantum-optics. His Ph.D. work incorporates modeling of such

coherent effects in various quantum models to exhibit different physical aspects from

different perspectives. Simulation of coherence effects in macroscopic domain like

optical waveguide systems has also been carried out in some respects, which is an

integral part of work investigated by him in his UGC-project. Along with the

continuation of research in the mentioned topics, a number of research works

performed by him in collaboration with different research groups in abroad has been

reviewed before publication in esteemed international journals like Journal of Physics

our internal academic audit in the following manner: a senior faculty of a particular category

of discipline (e.g. Natural Sciences, Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Language and

Literature etc) is entrusted with the task of overseeing the functioning of another department


105

of his/her broader discipline. (For example, a senior faculty of Physics department may

oversee the development of the Chemistry department and vice versa.)

6.5.5 Internal Quality Assurance and External Quality Assurance Agencies:

Internal quality assurance mechanisms of our college are at par with mechanisms of external

agencies.

6.5.6 Review of the Teaching Learning Process:

Teacher’s Evaluation by Students: Students evaluate their teachers by filling up a printed

proforma at the end of each academic year. Thereafter the feedback is communicated to the

teachers for further improvement.

Teaching Plans: Teaching plans are designed by each teacher, reviewed by HODs and

approved by the Principal.

Syllabus Completion Report: Syllabus completion report is scrutinized by HODs.

Self-Appraisal Report: Annual performance-based self appraisal report is submitted to the

Principal who analyses the data for the purpose of Career Advancement.

Observation of Lectures: The Principal makes a surprise visit to classes to observe lectures.

6.5.7 Communication of Policies to Internal and External Stakeholders:

The activities and achievements of the college are conveyed in the lectures presented at the

Annual Sports Meet. The policies and other details are contained in the College Prospectus

and on the College Website. The same are also disseminated and discussed at the meetings of

the Parent-Teacher Association, Alumni Association and Students Union.

Other Relevant Information: The GB participates in the main activities of the college and

interacts with the faculty and students. The GB is considerate towards the staff members of

the college and encourages them to work towards further growth of the institution. The

management has outsourced maintenance of the campus by engaging private workers to

achieve its objective of a Clean Campus. The security measures on the campus are enhanced

through the recruitment of private security services.

Criterion VII

Innovations and Best Practices

Innovation is the hallmark of excellence in any educational institution. It is also an indicator

of quality assurance. Such an innovative approach is being adopted in Sree Chaitanya

College, Habra.

7.1 Environment Consciousness:

Sree Chaitanya College has always shown concern towards environmental issues. Seminars,

talks and awareness drives have been conducted to create environmental consciousness

among students and society. Other measures taken are plantation drives, anti-plastic drives,

documentary and movie screening. 15 minutes every week are kept for ‘Mother Earth’.

7.1.1 Green Audit:

The College is situated in a pollution-free area surrounded by lash green and numerous

plants and trees around. The College has planted many trees in the campus. Each year, on the

Foundation Day, we customarily plant trees. The Principal takes the special initiative in this

regard, followed by teaching and non-teaching staff and the students. The Department of

Botany has fixed Botanical and local names on many trees. The Campus is totally plastic

free.

Besides, in this year (2015), Mr. Mohit Roy, renowned environmentalist, has conducted a

Green Audit of the College Buildings and the Campus. We shall continue with this audit

every year.

7.1.2 Initiatives Taken by the College to Make the Campus Eco-Friendly Energy

Conservation:

Switching off ACs, lights, fans, computers, L.C.D.s when not required and when not

in use. Replacement of old ACs with energy-saving models.

Regular maintenance of water supply and prevention of water

In support of the International ‘Earth Hour’, every week, the institution practices the ‘Switch Off time’ of electricity for 15 minutes during the recess.

Efforts for Carbon Neutrality: The tree plantation programme on campus has

contributed towards pollution free air and reduction in environmental hazards.

‘Anti-plastic’ drive is undertaken. Bins for wastes are placed in strategic places on campus.

Use of paper is reduced. Setting up of ICT classrooms is a step in this direction.

Efforts are being made to make administration, the teaching-learning process and

admissions online.

Public address system has been set up.

Producing documentaries, organizing street plays and poster displays for promoting

environmental awareness.


107

Plantation: Proper care of the gardens and plantations across the campus is taken,

especially o the Foundation Day (2 August)

E-waste management: Use of re-writable CDs.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Innovations Introduced:

The College has introduced various innovations that have shown a positive impact on

the functioning of the college.

The College Film Club, affiliated to, organizes screening of films, which is

followed by discussions. Sometimes Cine critics and renowned directors are

invited to train students as well as staff of the College in film-appreciation and

also to grow consciousness on social maladies, ecology and others.

Photography Club trains students in basic photography techniques.

The Bengali Department at PG level has made field-visit mandatory for

writing projects. This innovation is unique, since no other college or university

has made such a practice mandatory for PG students.

ICT-backed classrooms used in the teaching-learning process.

Online System is used wherever possible. Entire admission process – both at

UG & PG levels – has been made online.

Each One Teach One Programme develops a sense of social responsibility and

leadership among students.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Best Practice I

1. Title of the Practice: Faculty Enrichment Programme (FEP)

2. Goal Aims and Objectives:

From 2014, the IQAC is organising two half-yearly FEPs, for enhancement of the faculty.

FEP is a means to enrich the faculty for their self development, enhancing their professional

competency as well as their holistic development thereby facilitating their role as educators

and responsible members of the society. The institution conducts the enrichment programme

annually with the following objectives:

To update knowledge

To increase effectiveness

To achieve holistic development

To exchange knowledge with different faculty members

To sensitize towards social responsibilities


108

3. The Context

Education at present is undergoing tremendous change that demands from the faculty a need

to update and keep abreast of the latest development. The Management took the initiative to

organize annually a FEP for the teaching staff. A wide range of topics are being chosen

which contributes towards realization of the objectives of the institution. Topics related to

teaching-learning, contemporary issues, changing scenario in Higher Education, quality

initiatives, research, Value Education, environmental issues etc. have been the focus of these

programmes. Professional experts in their respective field are invited as resource persons.

This practice has proved to be helpful and beneficial to the faculty. The Management funds

the entire cost incurred for the F.E.P. Each FEP is held for one full day.

4. The Practice

In every six months, a team of faculty members, under the leadership of IQAC, are assigned

the responsibility of organizing the F.E.P. The chosen team co-ordinates with the Principal

and Coordinator, IQAC, to plan and schedule the F.E.P. Through consultation with the

Management and faculty, a topic for the programme is identified.

One F.E.P is conducted by the senior faculty of the College themselves. This gives the young

teachers to interact more freely and gives the seniors to groom the young faculty members

into future star-teachers of the College. Another FEP is mainly guided by outside

faculty/experts. This gives the faculty members an opportunity to know about the changing

scenario of education and also a chance to know how to strike the excellence.

5. Evidence of Success

The benefits have been rewarding. These can be ascertained from the feedback given by the

participants. Post FEP initiatives taken by individual faculty members also speak about the

evidence of success. For example, FEP on ‘Counselling’ has resulted in the institute running a counselling cell with a professional counsellor; ‘Teacher and Research’ encouraged many faculty members to engage in active research and pursue a doctoral degree. ‘Importance of Value Education’ has facilitated a healthy value education programme for the students. Students are important stake-holders in the teaching-learning process. In the age of ICT, the

training through the FEP has benefitted the faculty in rendering quality education with the

effective use of technology.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Our college is a multi-disciplinary institution. As such, there are some faculty members who

cannot relate to the selected topic of the FEP. This affects the effectiveness of the

programme. For example, the programme on ‘Learning Management System’ which had certain faculty members who were not technology-friendly could not keep pace with the

resource persons while those who were well versed with the use of computer technology

derived optimal benefits. The Management provides necessary financial resources. Experts

are available and readily accept invitations as resource persons.


109

7. Notes

FEP has proved to be an effective means for the growth of the faculty members. This

programme is being conducted successfully for last two years and its positive outcomes are

reflected through the various initiatives taken by the faculty and the management towards an

enriched and holistic teaching-learning process.

7.3.2 Best Practice – II

1. Title of the Practice: Mentoring Programme

2. Goal - To build a cordial mentor-mentee relationship, to provide support and guidance

towards self development of students in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. Aims and

Objectives:

To provide individual attention

To help realize their own potential

To appreciate different perspectives

To create awareness and need for diversified knowledge.

3. The Context

Today’s adolescents are facing critical times. They face difficulties with introduction of higher studies. They find it difficult to take decisions and make adjustments to different

situations they come across. Besides academic difficulties, they find that life is not worth

living. In these circumstances, the Mentoring Programme contributes to bring about

behavioural changes in the adolescents and face life situations in order to make life worth

living.

4. The Practice

A Programme Coordinator is selected who allots a fixed number of students to each teacher.

Thus groups of Mentor-Mentee are formed. Interaction dates are fixed once a month with a

45 minutes interaction. Mentors are provided with guidelines to make the interaction

meaningful and result oriented. A personal file of the mentee is maintained. Some

programmes are organized group wise as follows:

Career Guidance: My Job My Hobbies/Career Talks/Employment

Personality Development: Talks/Workshops/Talent display competitions create

learning opportunities, learning soft skills for life, setting goals, responsibility, team

work and health.

Social Outreach: Each One Teach one programme.

Academic Excellence: Improve overall academic achievement and awareness of the

college ethos and culture; networking opportunities, distribution of results and

interaction with parents; monitor performance and absenteeism.


110

Problem Solving: Dealing with inter-personal issues, personal problems, social stress

and guidance for decision making. Referrals to the college counsellor are also

included.

5. Evidence of Success

Growth of students:

Personal/academic/career.

Building capacity for making responsible choices and decisions in life.

Better prepared to take on challenges in life.

Behavioural changes as seen in their life.

Accrued Benefits:

Mentee: Gaining a sense of responsibility, increased awareness and information

through talks. Opportunity to speak to one’s mentor and seek help, create a sense of

belonging, talent display, support network, guidance, advice and counselling. Make

the Mentee realize that life is worth living.

Mentor: An avenue to direct, support and offer help to students thereby fulfilling

their role as teachers and guides. Role as advisor on personal and academic issues

College: Inculcates a spirit of discipline and responsibility. Enhances cooperation for

smooth functioning of the institution.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required and Obstacles Faced

Time Constraint: It is very difficult with very lengthy examination schedule of

WBSU to pursue with this programme without interruption.

Insufficient training of Mentors.

7. Notes

Mentoring is an important task which requires:

Investment of quality time and effort with students

Continuous involvement.

Trained & dedicated Mentors

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: In order to enhance the learning of the students regular tutorials are taken. PG students are encouraged to give talks in the form of student seminars. Interaction between the students and the teachers are considered an important part of teaching.To further complement the theoretical lecture mode of teaching field trips are organised on annual basis to introduce students to the real life cultural milieu of particular study groups, thereby creating an opportunity of learning from first hand experience. 34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities:

In an attempt to create an opportunity of interface between the literateurs and the

students, literary readings and interaction programmes are organised every 3/4 months. Often

local poets/ literateurs are invited to the department to share their creations with all of us. For

this we forward open invitation to all other faculty of other deptts. Students of other

departments as well as to the non teaching staff of our college..We believe that good

literature has its appeal to all, irrespective of their branch of specialisation.We attempt to

cater to all lovers of literature this way and thereby contribute to an atmosphere of enhanced

sensitivity around us.

As an extension activity we organise annual creative writing contest among all the students of our college.. These writings are judged upon by a panel of teachers from the Department of Bengali and the stand-out wrtings are given appropriate acknowledgement. This way we hope to inspire the young adults to express themselves more in a meaningful way. 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strength The chief strength of the department is its formidable size. Department of Bengali enjoys the largest number of students in the college. Most of these students have a knack for literary appreciation and quite a few have exhibited an urge for creativity.This creates a lively atmosphere in the department that is conducive to the process of teaching-learning.

Weakness At this point of time the greatest weakness in the department of Bengali is its acute crisis of fulltime faculty. Two of our veteran teachers have retired very recently leaving behind a huge void. Four guest lecturers have been incorporated in the deptt who are presently struggling to adapt. Lack of experienced faculty is affecting the regular functioning of the department


142

in an adverse way, which we hope to overcome soon.

Opportunities The sprawling space that the department of Bengali has been allotted very recently, poses great opportunity to the department. It’s much easier to organise added number of tutorial classes or extra classes, whenever the teachers or the students feel the need. We can also think of adding some more options for special papers in the PG course.

Challenges The greatest challenge that the Bengali department is presently faced with,

is doing academic justice to the students inspite of the acute shortage of

permanent and experienced faculty. Relocating the entire departmental set

up in a newly alloted space also poses a challenge before us .Absence of a

proper office for coordinating PG-centred activities has been bothering the

department for quite some time. We have, however got assurance from the

principal that this difficulty will be addressed soon.

Future Plans Department of Bengali plans to have a journal /literary magazine of its own to create a vent for the creativitity of the students as well as that of the new brigade of guest lecturers(all of whom are phd students). We also plan to organize showing relevant documentary/ featurefilms to complement the prevailing teaching methods.

Strengths Proximity to Indo-Bangladesh border provides an ideal setting for this discipline in this College

Energetic and amiable faculty Enthusiastic students eager to learn the theory and practices of

Defence Studies

Weakness Inadequate infrastructure prevents its further development Proper laboratory for Practical Classes is still to be arranged Progression of students cannot take place because of absence of

Post-Graduate Program in Universities of West Bengal (except in the University of North Bengal)

The Department is understaffed Communication with the Ministry of Defence is yet to be made

Opportunities Theoretical as well as practical knowledge for the prospective candidates for the Defence Service and other defence related jobs

Challenges To prepare students for PG studies outside the state (since the UG syllabi of the state-based universities are not at par with those of outside universities)

To run practical classes without a proper laboratory

Future Plans To introduce honours course in Defence Studies, To establish linkages with other research institutes – initially at

state level – such as School of International Relations and Strategic Studies, Jadavpur University and Centre for Himalayan Studies, University of North Bengal,

To establish linkages with academic institutions under Department of Defence, such as Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy and Officer’s Training Centre

Interdisciplinary studies with active co-operation from faculty members of other relevant Departments within and outside the College

Class seminar Audio-visual presentations Special tutorial classes

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities:

Special remedial classes for SC students 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strength

Close interaction with students on a day-to-day basis, inducive of healthy teacher-student relationship

Enthusiastic involvement of students in all departmental activities, e.g. Wall magazines, in-house projects, students’ seminar

Weakness Lack of faculty resulting in poor student-teacher ratio Lack of space Lack of infrastructure

Opportunities The students can be given wider exposure to world literature and classic films through online access to e-library. Department needs to take an Institutional membership at British Council library to make this possible. To prepare students to face diverse real world situation the department needs to organize mock interviews, story and poetry reading and creative writing sessions, group discussions. Arranging


204

classes by external faculty members for quality enrichment of department.

Challenges Students opting to study English literature mostly have vernacular medium background which is a natural impediment for them

Future Plans Since knowledge of English as a global language is in high demand by employers as well as students, the department plans to offer, in future, courses in functional-communicative English

Students of the department also try to instil cleanliness every year and make these slum-

people aware of essential health-issues.

b) Each year we provide our students with schoolbooks and storybooks to distribute among

the slum-children.


230


Strength

1) The Department can boast of the excellence of its faculty.

2) Two of our faculty members, Dr.Aloke Kumar Chakraborty and Dr.

Kallol Bandyopadhyay, have numerous research papers published in

different prestigious journals and books.

3) Dr. Aloke Kumar Chakraborty is an eminent poet. He has written a

book of verse and his poems are published in many literary publications.

4) Mohua Chatterjee (Choudhury) is a great exponent of music. She has

obtained Certificates in Rabindra Sangeet and Hindusthani Classical

Music from Sangeet Bhavan, Visva Bharati.

6) Srabani Biswas is a very good orator. She often gives talks in radio .

Weakness 1) Dearth of text books in vernacular

2) The Department uses ICT on a sharing basis, which has its time limit

Opportunities

The students can utilise the tutorial classes to overcome their difficulties

by interacting with the teachers at a more friendly atmosphere. Teachers

take remedial classes and prepare the students for various competitive

examinations.

Challenges

Inability of the students to follow English is a great impediment. As most

of the reference books are written in English the students cannot use them

freely. To make them understand the writings of great historians is a big

challenge.

Future Plans

Department would give its students every possible opportunity to

overcome all the problems they face in their study. Department will

organise regular seminars and workshops so that they can enrich

themselves.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: The Journalism and Mass Communication department relies heavily on ICT classes in order to impress upon the the students the basics of media studies.Mere lecturing is never enough for a subject like ours, hence we insist on empirical training. Students find this interesting and their learning of the subject is deepened and quickened due to this application oriented approach of the department.


235

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities: As a

part of our institutional social responsibility we have tied up with the film club of our college

to organise shows of documentaries that can elevate the level of social awareness not only of

the students of our department, but of the general students at large.

We often invite eminent journalists to our department and request them to deliver talks

on syllabus related topics. We keep such programmes open for students of other departments

as well. Interaction between the participants and the speaker forms an important part of these

programmes.


Strengths A job oriented syllabus is the greatest strength of our department. Students are allured to study this subject because of the job prospects that the discipline has to offer. This creates greater levels of motivation among students.

Weakness Lack of permanent faculty is a huge hindrance to make this department more active and receptive to the requirements of the students.

Opportunities A group of motivated and energetic students offer great opportunities to the deptt, provided the basic inadequacies are addressed.

Challenges Incorporating a large number of students within the space allotted to the department often becomes challenging. Lack of permanent faculty is a problem that the deptt can hardly surmount. Number of guest lecturers need to increased at earliest opportunity. Infrastructurewise, the deptt is in need of quite a few equipments,that we hope to procure soon.

Future Plans Introducing honours course to the existing general course is our immediate future plan. We also hope to introduce some media oriented certificate courses in the coming years.

Number of students receiving financial assistance from college, university, government or other agencies


SC/STs candidates are entitled for receiving educational grants. 32. Details on student enrichment programmes (special lectures / workshops / seminar) with external experts:

A three day workshop was conducted in the year 2009 for girl students to inculcate awareness among them on issues like hygiene and gender discrimination.

A workshop on psychological counselling was organised in the year 2010 with the intention of empowering young students to combat mental disturbances and inner conflicts.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: Student Seminar are organised regularly to improve concept building and overall

understanding on topics within syllabus.

Students are encouraged to give presentation before departmental faculty for the

purpose of their academic and personality development.

Project work and tutorials are conducted on regular basis to educate students on the

art of philosophical writing.

Teachers of the department guided the students for career oriented examinations like

School Service Examination and for NET.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities: a) Eminent practising psychiatrists are invited from time to time to conduct counselling

sessions for the entire student community of the institution.

b) Had run a free school for needy children in the local slums of Habra. However, the project

has ceased to exist owing to acute infrastructural difficulties.


Strength

1) Experienced, motivated and enthusiastic faculty 2) Good co-operation among the teaching staff 3) Class tests, tutorials and students presentations are held regularly 4) Cultural programmes like Freshers’ Welcome, Farewell, Teachers’

Day etc. are regularly observed 5) A very healthy and warm Teacher-Student relationship. 6) Special lectures are organized for Honours students on regular

basis. 7) Eminent senior teachers and retired professors are invited to deliver

lectures on topics within the syllabus for direct benefit of students.

Weakness 1) Shortage of Class room and Class room space 2) Shortage of faculty 3) Lack of infrastructural facilities 4) Drop out of students in honours subject

Opportunities 1) Teachers make themselves available throughout the day in the

department to help students at off-periods 2) A very enthusiastic and student friendly faculty

Challenges 1) Training pupils who are often first generation students 2) Little or no exposure of students to greater cultural and intellectual

sphere 3) Reducing the number of dropout in honours subject

Future Plans 1) To take positive measures to enhance students proficiency in

English 2) Announcing awards for deserving 3) To provide guidance on more concrete level for examinations

candidates like NET, SSC and interview

book bank to economically poor students of the department. 16. Students avail advantage of ICT Class room.

Weakness 7. Shortage of Class room & insufficiency in space of the existing Class rooms.

8. Shortage of laboratory space to accommodate all students. 9. Special attention and care that department provides to

economically and academically poor students of backward classes is not sufficient to cater to their needs.

10. Department has no digital class room which is urgently needed for making Physics teaching more attractive to the


274

students. 11. Excessive work load due to Shortage of Teaching and

Nonteaching staff. 12. Irregularity of the students especially in general classes. 13. Drop out of students in Honours subject. 14. Poor participation of students in Mock test, on line Audio-

Visual lecture classes.

Opportunities 1. A very good Computer laboratory with internet facilities. Any student (especially of third year) can practise Computer Programming and also can use internet for advance study.

2. One Reading room is available in the Department where students can study at off-Period, borrowing books from departmental book bank.

3. Teachers are available throughout the day in the department to help students at off-periods.

4. Well equipped Electronics and Computer laboratories are assets of the Department as well of our College.

Challenges 6. To motivate students to pursue basic science. 7. Educational uplift of the students of the department

belonging to socially and economically backward groups of the locality (More than 50% of the students are from backward families).

8. Reducing the number of dropouts in honours subject.

Future Plans 4. To reduce the dropout of students in Honours subject. 5. To improve further the Teacher-Student relationship in

order to instil good moral character among the students. 6. To enhance scientific motivation among students. 7. To develop Parent-Teacher relationship. 8. A Departmental Magazine by students. 9. Intra college as well as inter-Institution seminars are to be

organized. 10. Formation of Alumni Association of the department. 11. Finally the department would like every student graduating

with Physics to go out full satisfaction of having done Physics with us.

Extempore Lecture by the Students Educational Tour Field Survey


An Awareness Programme on Fundamental Rights was conducted by the Department of Political Science for the slum people near Habra Railway Station in 2008.

Awareness Programme to participate in General Election. To aware local people about the responsibilities and functions of the Local

Self Government. 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strength The faculty is composed of senior-experienced teacher as well as

young and dynamic teachers with a researcher bend of mind. The

department maintains a close and cordial relationship with

students, and takes special care, both academically and financially,

of the poor, first generation literate students. A special

departmental fund has been created with personal donation of

teachers for this. Regular debate, extempore speech completions

and students’ presentations held in the department, with the use of ICT.

Weakness a) The Department uses ICT on a sharing basis, which has its time

limit; b) More funds needed for buying books for Departmental

Library; c) Many students come with poor and first-generation

learner background.

Opportunities a) As the College is situated in a municipal locality, surrounded by

rural areas, we have the opportunity to serve students with different

social milieu, which is not far away from international border; b)

this gives us an opportunity to study the social-political

backgrounds of these areas, which are changing very fast.

Challenges In the above social background of the students, it is really a

challenging task to impart the latest knowledge of political science.

Future Plans a) To develop a Research Centre within the Department for the

studies of socio-political situation in the locality, and the effects of

migration in the borderlands; b) to open, subject to appointment of

sufficient faculties, PG Course in Political Science.

specialization like Cyto-genetics, Entomology, Parasitology,

Fishery etc.

● Almost all the permanent teaching staff are Ph.D. holders and

having the training regarding modern teaching of biological

research .

● Good museum with rare valuable Zoological specimens.

● Moderately equipped laboratory for Histo-pathological,

Biochemical and Parasitological studies.

● Syllabus friendly reference books in the departmental seminar

● Computer facilities for faculties and students.

Weakness ● High number of students compared to number of faculties.

● Lack of space and infrastructural facilities.

Opportunities ● Department conducts field training regarding process of

conservation of biodiversity.

● There are ample scope for students to identify the crop- pest,

economically important insects as well as different parasites of

health importance. The faculties share their knowledge of the

above with the local farmers during field visits.

● One can gather the knowledge regarding

identifications,ornamental fish culture and maintenance of

aquarium from our department.

● Equipped Museum, Seminar library, computer facilities for

students.

Challenges ● To provide latest information and training to the students as per

national standard, owing to so that they can overcome any kind

of challenge they may face in making their future career and

employment.

● Inspite of limited resources( weak student- teacher ratio and

moderate infrastructural facilities) we are trying our best to

make a positive bridge between learning opportunity in the

department and academic hunger of the students.

● As we believe that every problem is the actual birthplace of its

solution. Keeping this in mind we are putting our best effort to

find out the exact solution to achieve the goal.

Future Plans ● To establish state of art laboratory with modern tools for

training on biological sciences.

● To form a Digital lab in order to enrich teaching-learning

process in parallel to blackboard-chalk-duster technique.

● To establish genetic counselling unit under leadership of three

members of the teaching strength from same (cytogenetics) field.

● To generate general awareness among local people and students

regarding pollution and common diseases and their preventive measures.
