6. Governance, Leadership and Management

6.1 State the Vision and Mission of the institution

6.2 Does the Institution has a management Information System

“Inclusive Education for Enlightenment”

The college aims to mould the student community hailing from the most

Marginalized, downtrodden and economically weaker sections of the society into enlightened

individuals, and guide them to contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding

the values of secularism, national integration and social commitment. We have a vision that

the students coming out of our campus should be intellectually enlightened, emotionally

sound and practically efficient. The college aims to mould leaders who are intellectually

competent, morally upright, psychologically integrated, physically healthy and acceptable to

the society, who will champion the cause of justice, truth and peace and who are open to

further growth.

The college was started with a mission of providing quality education at an affordable cost to

all the sections of the students. But, in course of time, the changing trend and demands of

higher education have made us to realize that the mere offering education to students on

conventional line is inadequate. All our attention therefore have now been focused on

introducing new academic discipline to meet the new challenge that emerged in the higher

education on the one hand and to help our students to derive maximum benefits from them on

the other.

Yes. The college promotes a culture of management Information System, in which faculty

members, staff and students at all levels are encouraged to contribute their ideas and view

points on institutional objectives, goals, and other decisions that may directly affect them.

The college has a staff council represented by the heads of the departments, senior faculty

members and the Principal. The council regularly meets and discusses issues pertaining to the

effective management of academic as well as administrative matters. The college PTA

consisting of parents and selected staff members pay attention to the managerial affairs when

required. We have a College Development Council (CDC) headed by the local MLA,

Principal, selected staff members, student representative and few nominated persons from

different fields in the town. CDC plays an important role in infrastructural embellishment of

the institution. The organization understands the importance of a strong relationship among

the faculty members, staff and students, and the stakeholders. The innovative ideas, opinions

and suggestions from the faculty members, staff and students are appreciated and

incorporated in the decision making process. The institution promotes grapevine

communication channels for perfect interaction of all stakeholders.

The institution does not have the accommodation facility neither for teaching nor for

non-teaching. The strategies adopted by the Department of Collegiate Education,

Government of Karnataka for faculty welfare include monetary and career

advancement benefits for those with higher qualifications such as M.Phil and Ph.D as

well as opportunities for those who wish to improve their qualifications. There are

few government schemes in place to provide loans for those who wish to

buy/construct houses or to purchase computers. At the institutional level, the College

Council motivates faculty members through prompt appreciation of exceptional merit

and talent and by providing opportunities for self expression. The Staff association of

the College is committed to faculty welfare and it offers a platform for the talented

and the aspiring.

The Government First Grade College, Sidlaghatta is an eco-friendly Campus and

developed as plastic free culture in the sense that students and faculty use only

recyclable plastic above 50 microns. We do not have plastic waste in the campus

beyond a meagre amount. The College has an internal Green Audit system to maintain

a Clean and Green Campus. Various measures are taken up as a follow up of these

audits. The college has been declared as polythene free zone. The students and staff

are made aware of the drastic consequences which mankind will have to face in case

we don’t take steps to protect the environment. Students are not allowed to bring

polythene bags to Government First Grade College Sidlaghatta. Instead they are

motivated to use Cotton bags or jute bags etc. We have been constant in our efforts to

green the campus, to foster the culture of eco friendliness. We plant trees in and

around the college campus with the help of NSS and College Cultural Committee

club. All these cells make their contribution in greening the campus.

efforts to fulfill college’s academic commitment to the community.

Opportunities

The opportunities ahead of us are many.

liberal contributions to institutions like this college situated in backward areas.


Annexure- i

The college has a healthy practice of heralding its new academic session with an orientation

programme. A specimen of the Government First Grade College, Sidlaghatta, is deep seated

reverence for its traditions is the organization of two significant functions namely, Morning Assembly on all Mondays and Saturdays and Get Enrolled, Get Scholarship.

Best Practice- I

1. Title of the Practice

Morning Assembly on Monday and Saturday

Objectives of the Practice:

� To inculcate Patriotism,

� To impart value-based education,

� To empower Rural Students,

� To arouse Social Consciousness,

� To Counsel the Students,

� To Contribute to National Development.

The Context:

Conceived and initiated with the avowed aim of arousing nationalistic pride, imparting information

and providing a platform for collective thinking and community feeling, strategizing future course of

action at a time when the nation was reeling under foreign yoke, the practice of Morning Assembly has

an added significance and relevance in present times when gross materialism and consumerism have over

ridden ethical and patriotic values. Knowing that values are imbibed rather than taught, the college has

adopted this practice to counsel the students and inculcate those values that are needed to live in a

pluralistic society and contribute to national development.

The Practice:

Morning Assembly on Monday and Saturday, a regular and important feature of the college, is a

suitable manifestation of the collective consciousness and purposeful education of Government First

Grade College, Sidlaghetta. The National flag is hoisted and National songs Vande Matram and Jana

Gana Mana are sung with nationalistic fervor.

Thought for the Day:

The thought for the day is given to instill values among students and arouse the intellectual, moral

and social consciousness of students. The thought provoking pearls of wisdom and the collective

counseling prepares every student to raise themselves intellectually and morally so as to face the stern

realities of life with confidence and courage. Each student of the college is expected to look on

themselves as ambassadors of the college and conduct themselves with dignity that is worthy of the

institution.


Awards and Laurels:

The Student achievers, who have won laurels for the college on the academic and co-academic /

co-curricular front are honored and awarded prizes to inspire and motivate the students to aim for

the high and achieve their goals. The initiatives of NSS Volunteers are also lauded and given due

recognition to infuse students with an ardent sense of responsible citizenship for nation building

and to impinge upon the students’ mind the need meaningfully contribute towards meeting societal

needs. Faculty achievements are also highlighted to offer role models for the students to look up to

and emulate.

Collective Counselling:

Official instructions, announcements regarding academic and co-curricular activities and

upcoming events are made. Rapt in attention the students listen carefully to the instructions given

during the assembly and follow them earnestly. The Mission of the college to reinforce the culture

of excellence and contribute to national development is substantially met with through Morning

Assembly which imparts value-added education and inculcates patriotic fervor.

Evidence of Success:

The practice has exercised a great motivational influence on the student community. Motivated

by the student achievers and honors conferred on them, the students are recognizing their

potentialities, shedding their inhibitions and coming forward to participate in various activities

being organized by the college. What is laudable is that they are benchmarking their achievements

and effort. The achievements of the competent teachers in their respective fields further initiate

them to give their best and outperform.

Well-defined value system and love for our culture has given strong roots and poise to our

students and facilitated their moral and intellectual growth. It has gone a long way in inculcating a

strong sense of ethical values, a genuine concern for our culture and commitment to nationalistic

causes. The college has an attentive Alumnus who has done the college proud by making

significant contribution in socio-cultural and other developmental activities in the institution.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The problem area in morning assembly is in time students’ attendance, because majority of the

students come from interior rural villages, they have to depend on very meager transportation

facilities providing by State Road Transport Corporation and private route operators. Therefore,

attending in time to the Morning Assembly is observed little tough to the students. Even though,

Students are showing interest to attend the Morning Assembly.

Another problem area is time table adjustment on Morning Assembly days. The rescheduling

and adjustment in time table has to be done to enable all the teachers to meet their respective

classes and prevent any academic loss. Duration of each period has to be reduced to hold the

assembly.


Annexure- ii

BEST PRACTICE-II

1. Title of the Practice

Get Enrolled, Get Scholarship

2. Goal

The college strives to provide financial assistance to all its students eliciting funds from all

possible sources. We intend to make the academic programmes of this institution more

attractive by facilitating all students to receive one scholarship or other. We also aim at

reducing the dropout rate of students just because of financial constraints with this initiative.

As most of the scholarships are based on merit, the students are motivated to sustain and

improve their academic standard. Attracting meritorious students, sustaining their

performance and increasing their competence are the major benefits we aim at through this

practice.

3. The Context

Government First Grade College Sidlaghatta is located in most drought prone rural area

with a sizeable percent of SC/ST population and Sidlaghatta is a backward Taluk.

Our college is the only government First Grade College in taluk, and it has the mission of

uplifting the young generation of Sidlaghatta through quality higher education. As most of

our students hail from financially poor background, any financial assistance is a sine qua

non for the completion of the programmes they are enrolled in. It is in this context that

Government First Grade College Sidlaghatta strives to assure all the possible scholarships

for all our students.

4. The Practice

Government First Grade College, Sidlaghatta had been striving to provide all its students

with scholarships in the recent past. We have succeeded in our effort by providing scholarships to

almost 100 percent students in the year 2012-13.Different types of scholarship and free ship

schemes introduced by central and state governments are made available to the students on time

by the institution. The following are the main scholarships and free ships disbursed among the

students.

1) State merit scholarship,

2) SC/ST Scholarships,

3) Scholarships for Economically Backward Persons,

4) Scholarships for Minority Students,

5) Muslim Girls scholarship,

6) Higher Education Scholarship.

The college conducts an orientation programme on the different scholarships available to all

the freshers at the beginning of every academic year. The college has appointed a faculty

coordinator to monitor the timely submission, verification and processing of scholarship

applications. Apart from this, conveners are appointed in each major department assisted by

an administrative staff for assuring that all eligible students receive scholarships timely. The

college collects information of the students’ family annual income at the beginning of the

academic year. Students are advised to open Savings Bank Account in nationalized banks

for the easy transfer of scholarship amounts. The entire scheme is conducted in a

transparent manner. We were able to provide scholarships to all our students in the

academic year 2012-13 and it is a unique highlight of our college.

5. Evidence of Success

The college has achieved its target by providing all the enrolled students with scholarships

in the academic year 2012-13. The scheme was instrumental in retaining a number of

potential dropouts in the campus and in assuring their successful completion of the

academic programmes. The concerted efforts of the faculty members and administrative

staff have proved result by improving the standard in academic areas as well as sports and

Cultural activities through the scholarship scheme. It has promoted the self esteem of the

students and has made them more conscious of the need to sustain their performance. It has

also become a major factor in attracting meritorious and deserving students to the campus

for various programmes. As we were able to provide scholarship to all our students, there

was also a corresponding improvement in the academic performance which catapulted the

college to the top position in terms of the results of BA, B. Com, B.B.M, and B.Sc in the

last academic year, which shows that students respond positively to the support extended to

them by the institution.


6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Though the college achieved its target by providing scholarships for all, a few problems are

there which are worth mention:

1. A lag is observed in switching over from the 11th

plan period to the 12th

plan period in

the allocation of funds and scholarships which may adversely affect the timely

distribution of scholarships.

2. Though proposals were submitted, we have not received the balance funds sanctioned in

the 11th

plan period, and it has posed problems in the proper distribution of scholarships

in the year 2012-13.

3. As the college is located in a backward area, there should be special allocation of funds

from the state and central government to ensure student enrolment in the higher

education sector.

7. Notes (Optional)

Assuring scholarships for all can be assumed as a benchmark for other institutions as well,

and it is sure to produce sound results in all dimensions. Appointing faculty coordinators

and department conveners shall be useful in the proper conduct of the programme.
