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
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra

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
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.

II
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 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.

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.

Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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:

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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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 extra- curricular 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).

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.

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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

initiatives in community service.
3.6.6 Social Surveys, Research and Extension Work Relating to Social Justice and
Empowering Students from Under-privileged and Vulnerable Sections of Society:
The Students’ Union and the NCC have to undertake social surveys while going for above
extension works. Some of these extension activities are also the parts of the research projects
(especially of social sciences), which use social surveys as the parts of the College funded
research projects, involving students and faculty. At the same time, the research outcomes of
these projects help the students, coming from under-privileged and vulnerable sections of
society, to spread consciousness among themselves about the messages of social justice and
empowerment.
Following Social Outreach Activities Undertaken:
1. ‘Each One Teach One’ Programme by Students’ Union for local poor children
2. Visit to Old Age Homes and Orphanages
3. Socio-Economic-Educational Survey in the locality

The College through extension activities initiates students in community service and
inculcates in them a sense of social commitment and responsibility. The outcome of the
activity is the empowerment of students in team work which enhances their self esteem and
self confidence. This has also led some of them to join non-profit organizations and NGOs
to render selfless service.
3.6.8 Initiatives to Ensure Community Participation in Extension Work:
College maintains contact with the local self-government and nongovernment organizations
in their endeavours of social development and environment protection in which locals are the

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), we have a plan to appoint Mr. Mohit Roy, renowned
environmentalist, to conduct 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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra

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.

Weakness
Out of seven sanctioned teaching posts only five are filled at
present
Laboratory infrastructure is insufficient
Inadequate number of books in departmental library
No safe drinking water
Insufficient numbers of computers
Opportunities With existing instruments students can be guided for UG project
Consultancy can be provided to farmers, industries and local
common people for awareness for bioremediation.
Challenges Faculty members are not always allowed on duty to attend
seminar/symposia to enrich their knowledge except for presenting
papers
To enhance space and number of modern equipments
Future Plans

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

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 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

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

32. Details on student enrichment programmes (special lectures / workshops /seminar) with external experts: Special Lecture-2.Workshop-1.
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.
Self Study Report: Sree Chaitanya College, Habra
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.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
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.

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

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.
