PREFACE

I sincerely feel that it is my supreme privilege to submit the Self Study Report (SSR)

of our college to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore for

Cycle-I Accreditation.

The preparation of this document has given a lot of information, knowledge,

experience and exposure to our faculty who were seriously and sincerely involved in the

process all along.

The process resulted in introspection, consultation, exchange of views with the

stakeholders and analysis of the existing Internal Quality System and a study of the growth of

the institution after the second accreditation. All these inputs have been discussed thoroughly

while preparing this document.

The steering committee had a series of meetings to discuss the various ways and

means to get the college accredited for the first time. Different sub-committees were formed

and specific tasks and responsibilities were entrusted. The steering committee sought

adequate information from all sub-committees, HODs and office staff. I am very much

satisfied that I received all the required information well in time.

I acknowledge the whole hearted involvement and co-operation of the Faculty

members. T.H.Basavaraj, coordinator of NAAC and coordinator of IQAC. Members of the

Steering Committee and the Office Staff of our college.

to cope with the programme of their choice?

Most of the students come from nearby villages .Rural background probably leads to

lack of confidence as compared to the urban students .This parity has to be bridged. For this,

before commencement of the session, admitted students are given Bridge classes so as to

enable them to cope up with the syllabus of the course chosen.

Fresher’s are familiarized with the campus facilities through various activities

conducted by NSS, Rangers, Cultural committee and other wings. Enrichment courses like

personal meetings held at the office of the DCE. The principal in turn constitutes various

committees such as college council, purchase committee, library advisory committee cultural

efficient management of the institution.

All the faculty members compulsorily involve in various college committees and

of the college has a vital responsibility in both academic and administrative domains. He

supervises and evaluate the progress of the various activities conducted by all the wings of

the institution. He encourages the faculty to attend workshops, seminars etc., to update their

knowledge. Though he is the supreme authority of the institution, in some situations he

informal meetings and collects the information about the various aspects of the institution.

Periodic meetings of the council decides the polices to be implemented and action plans to be

prepared.

• Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into

the institutional strategic plan.

The IQAC, college council, staff members and all other committees make efforts in

formulating action plans and to implement them. The budget allocation is made by the

principal in consultation with the purchase committee. Sports, cultural, NSS and Ranger

unit’s Programmes are planned and executed as per the rules and regulations of the

university.

• Interaction with stakeholders

Teaching and non-teaching staff, students, parents and alumni are the stake holders of

the institution. The college makes conscious efforts to build a healthy relationship with its

stakeholders.

Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs and

consultations with the stakeholders

The IQAC of the institution conducts the meeting with stake holders. In those

meetings very important suggestions and felt short cringes with regard to academic and all

other activities of the college are taken up and discussed with the head of the Institution to

evolve solution. The principal, in consultation with the concerned authorities tries his best to

incorporate the suggestion and to resolve the issues. These inputs are used in the process of

rationing the policy and action plan of the institution.

implement the action plans of the college. The IQAC coordinates with various committees to

draw action plans and to implement. The principal directs the IQAC to implement all the

action plans which do not require financial support. Those plans which require huge funds are

placed before the Government and those which require minor funding are discussed in CDC

and CDF meetings to draw the further action. The IQAC gets the feedback from the stake

holders about the quality of implementation of the plans.

• Champion organizational change

Though, the institution is in its infancy it has achieved an all-round progress almost

on par with the reputed institutions existing for decades in our vicinity.

plans of the institution for effective implementation and improvement from time to

time?

autonomy to govern the institution within the preview of the rules and regulations of the govt.

of Karnataka, UGC and the affiliating university. At the beginning of the academic year, a

staff meeting is convened by the chairperson to form several committees and brief about their

duties and responsibilities. The committees review previous year plans, their implementation

and effective nest and also seek sections from the immediate stake holders for amendments.

institution. The heads of the departments are given fare hand to take care of the departmental

affairs. The teachers are given liberty and back support to decide and conduct various co-

The heads of the departments take prime leadership and necessary measures for the

smooth run of the departmental affairs. They prepare the lesson plan for each class for the

whole semester and periodically review the percentage of syllabus completed and based on

the need for extra classes, necessary arrangements are made.

It is the policy of the college that every teacher should act as a coordinator or a

member of at least one club/committee of the college. The principal constitutes various

committees such as IQAC/NAAC steering committee, examination committee, cultural

committee, magazine committee, placement – cell, counseling cell etc. involving staff as

coordinators and members not only to improve the effective necks and efficiency of the

institutional process but – also to groom Leadership quality. These committees are duly

Title of the Practice: CHIGURU- CHITTARA

Exposure to hidden talents and to develop progressive, critical and constructive attitude

among the students as a part of co-curricular activity.

Goal:

that find in them (culture & heritage).

Karnataka has rich culture, heritage and literature. Electrifying speed in the advancement

of science and technology and mechanical format of life has posed a severe threat to our

culture and literature. However advanced we are in the field of scientific research, still we are

finding it hard to get out from the superstitious evils. Popular but vulgar films, electronic

media, mobiles and gadgets have laid a deep impact on the minds of the youths and have

been fracturing their future prospect.

In this regard the college puts its efforts to introduce literature, culture and heritage by

organizing seminars and workshops, symposiums, group discussions, handicraft exhibitions,

competitive activities, celebration of birth days of national important personalities in a

meaningful way. Films and documentaries related to the curriculum are screened and students

are encouraged to participate in the group discussion.

events are being organized systematically.

When we fall short of the resources within the institution we get in contact with

generous sponsors and donors to mobilize the resources.

Different committees are formed to share the work proportionately.

Press notes are given before and after the events to publicize.
