EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: SWOC analysis

Introduction

Amidst the decades old political turmoil and dismal lack of higher educational facilities, especially for women in the mid-eighties, Pranabananda Women’s College was established as the first women’s college in Dimapur, Nagaland in the year 1991.It received recognition and permanent affiliation under Nagaland University under NU/AC/GEN-1/97-1715,DATED 2ND September, 2004 and recognised under section 2[f] and 12[b].Guided by its motto ‘Tamso Ma Jyotir Gamaya’ which means ‘Lead us from darkness towards the light’, the college imparts education with a mission responding to the demands of time and specific needs of the society taking into consideration the social, economic, political and administrative challenges. This college is jointly founded and managed by Bharat Sevashram Sangh (Kolkata), a reputed global philanthropic and charitable organisation and a host of senior citizens of Dimapur with late Manik Bhattacharjee as the first Chief Organiser and Founder Secretary.

Pranabananda Women’s College vision is to impart ‘Holistic Education for the Empowerment of Women’ and is guided by the philosophy that there is a latent potentiality in each individual, which properly harnessed makes the individual an asset to the society. This leads to national objective for creating a strong base for human resource development. Women till today suppressed and discriminated in our society can act as an active partner for social reconstruction and welfare of mankind if they are given the opportunity to develop their latent potentialities. Keeping this school of thought in view, the college imparts quality and holistic education in Arts and Commerce at the undergraduate level to women in general and to those women who could not pursue post-matric studies for want of adequate higher educational facilities in particular. Today Pranabananda Women’s College has around 1500 girl students on its role and has attained the trust and reputation for its excellence, discipline, constant innovation, inclusiveness and service to the community. In preparation of its first cycle of accreditation, the college honestly prepared the Self Study Report evaluating quality in terms of sustenance and enhancement based on the seven criteria highlighting the key aspects under each criterion. Care has been taken to reflect objectivity, self-analysis and professionalism of the college while preparing the report. To sum it up, it has been a great learning experience for the stakeholders of the institution.

university. This process helps in giving unbiased justification to the students during admission. As such the college does not have a formal mechanism to review the admission process and student profile annually. But at an informal level, the members of the Core Committee i.e. the Principal, Vice-Principal, and Admission Committee reserve all the rights to review the admission process. Whenever required they make necessary changes in existing rules and framing up of new criteria on the matters relating to issues of rules in the prospectus.

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

� Energy conservation •••• The college has taken various minute efforts to reduce power

consumption. The weather being hot and humid, power consumption is high particularly during summers and specially during class hours which lasts for about five hours after which power consumption greatly reduced. Effort to reduce power usage has been adopted by instructing the students as well as the management to immediately switch off the electrical appliances when not in use. Only low watt fluorescent lighting is used in place of conventional bulbs in the campus including staff classrooms and offices within the college building, the interior room structure and wall paints have been designed for easy access to sunlight and be enhanced with bright paints. Trees and plants have been adequately planted all over the campus to provide natural cooling to the occupants of the institute. These are other minute steps ensure that there is energy conservation in the college.

� Use of renewable energy •••• There are not many options for obtaining varieties of renewable energy

systems other than solar energy till date in the city. For reasons as such, the college has plans to install solar energy panels to partially support its power requirement.

� Water harvesting •••• The green cover in the college campus helps to harvest rain water. The

college campus has been leveled to trap rain water for ground water regeneration while at the same time infrastructures have been built to drain the excess water to a drain pit ensuring no erosion takes place in the process.


� Check dam construction •••• Nil

� Efforts for Carbon neutrality •••• Nil

� Plantation •••• Despite the fact that the college covers just a little above one acre of land,

a lot of efforts have been given to balance the co-existence of concrete college building structures and the green environment. Trees and plants are planted wherever possible within the campus giving a very environmentally friendly atmosphere besides providing a cool and pleasant academically friendly atmosphere especially during the peak summer season. Full time gardeners are employed to ensure there is year-long greenery with focus on the seasonal flowering plants. This has helped not only the environmental efforts but has also imparted environmental awareness among the students.

� Hazardous waste management •••• Nil

7.2 Innovations 7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which

have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college. •••• COMMUNITY SERVICE: The college is run by Bharat Sevashram

Sangha whose goal is to provide service to humanity.

On the basis of such letters and the reports submitted by the student on the activities that had been performed, the college issues character certificate to the students.

•••• CAREER ORIENTATION PROGRAMME: Since many students are below average students academically, the task of finding placements become very hard, The college therefore formed a career counseling committee comprising of teachers. Seminars, Workshops, and counseling sessions are organized where experts are invited as resource persons.

•••• PROMOTION OF BOOK READING HABIT THROUGH SUPERVISED LIBRARY HOURS: With the coming of mobile phones and internets, it has been observed that the book reading interests of the students have declined drastically over the last many years. Consequently, the visit of the library by the students has dwindled which is a cause for concern. To revive and promote book reading habits among students, teachers supervise students’ library reading hours. For an honours student, six library hours per week is mandatory. The librarian has to verify the attendance of the students for the minimum prescribed hours. The students also have to submit a monthly report of what they have read and learnt to the class teachers.

7.3 BEST PRACTICES

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

BEST PRACTICE –I

1. Title: EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ACADEMICALLY WEAK STUDENTS

2. GOALS: To facilitate weak and under privilege students access to higher education.

3. CONTEXT: Many institutions being faced with competitions are compelled to give priority to academically bright students during college admissions. In the process, the academically weak students are left out and most of them end up in non-reputed colleges or give up further studies. In this process, many promising students are denied the opportunities to fulfill their desired goals and be a pillar of the society. The institution believes that academically weak students do not remain weak throughout. There is a possibility that there are weak areas which needed attention which if tended, can make the students fare much better. As such, weak students do not remain weak throughout nor academically strong students do not remain strong through out. Various factors in the academic history can improve or denigrate the academic performance of the students. Educational institutions play a strong role in mentoring students to improve the weak and on the other hand, nurture and further improve the academically strong students. From this perspective, this college has adopted a policy of admitting any students irrespective of their past educational standards offering them another opportunity to excel themselves.

4. THE PRACTICE: The institutions vision is to provide the weak and the under privileged, particularly women access to higher education in order to equip them with life-skill to face the challenges of the modern world. With this aim, during admission, there is no cutoff mark for admission except honours papers which is mandatory to follow the minimum criteria prescribed by the university. As such, many students with poor academic record, get the opportunity to study in the college to pursue higher studies. In the post admission, one month after the session started, every


department assess the quality standards and potentials of the students. Assessment is done through academic performances like class test, participation and response during teaching learning process. Once the students who need extra attention and efforts are identified, intensive tutoring and remedial coaching classes are conducted for them. Non serious students with potentialities are given motivational counselling for academic improvements. Each department constantly monitors the performances of the students. Even guardians/parents are made to be involved in order to create a conducive study atmosphere at home by making them sign an undertaking that they will make efforts to help their wards by cooperating with the institute’s efforts.

5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: This practice has seen the college churn out thousands of graduates out of academically weak students who hardly qualified or met the criteria for pursuing higher education. The college has equipped them with at least a degree which has opened to them an avenue of employment. The evidence of success of this practice is also revealed by the number of average and below average students securing first and second divisions and some university topper in various disciplines.

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED: This practice is however is challenging in its applications due to the wide academic disparities among the students. Going by the fact that the college admits a large number of weak students, majority of the students in the classrooms are composed of weak students. In order to keep pace with the weak students, the teacher had to proceed the course and teaching at a slower pace. However, for the brighter students, the pace of the course and teachings are found to be too slow and monotonous. As such, the teachers have to strike a fine balance while teaching in the classrooms composed of wide academic disparities. Constant monitoring of the students sometimes proves to be too taxing on the teachers. As a result, some teachers suffer from burnout syndromes.

The resources required is dedication, patience and determination on the part of teachers which are provided constantly, driven by the philosophy behind the institution’s goals.

BEST PRACTICE –II

1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: INCULCATING VALUE THROUGH ROLE MODEL PRACTICE (RMP)

2. GOALS: i. To inculcate the value of discipline, sense of responsibility, cooperation,

mutual understanding, helpfulness and hard work. ii. To motivate and encourage weak students to strive harder in their

academic performance. iii. To motivate irregular students to attend classes. iv. Building leadership quality in students. v. To help the students empathies with their teacher.

3. THE CONTEXT: The vision of this institution is empowering women

through education with great emphasis on value education. Thus the core objectives of the institution is preparing and nurturing the young girl students to become a complete woman or whole person. The college caters to women students from all over the state from varying socio economic background. In fact a large number of the students come from remote part of Nagaland due to lack of quality educational opportunity in their area. As such most of them are away from home. Majority of these girl students stay either in a private hostel or in a rented house and a few of them put up in their relative’s place. Thus many of the students are free from constant parental monitoring thereby making them vulnerable to value crisis ridden situation. This situation has created negative consequences on the academic performances as well as behavioral traits of the students. Many students are irregular in their class attendance, dismal academic performance and develop negative behavior traits which disrupt the discipline ambience of the college. Sometimes it often effect the inter- relationship between the teachers and students as well as among the students. To curb this disturbing trend, the college initiated this value based programme as a part of the co-curricular activity. The purpose of the practice is to encourage students to attend classes regularly, boost the morale and personality of weaker students, correct erring students, create an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual assistance, inculcate in the students the qualities of leadership, assist the students in empathizing with their teachers and overall, prepare the students for the future challenges of the society.

4. THE PRACTICE: Every four weeks, six students from each class are asked to volunteer or selected by the class teacher from amongst the students particularly focusing on students with weak personalities or


academic records to be the Role Model of the class. They are given the responsibility to be the role model for the rest of the class. Their roles are manifold basically to provide examples to other students. They have to be a role model in terms of studies, class attendance, discipline, manners, attitude, conducts, etc. Primarily, they are to attend classes regularly and tend to their studies diligently. Besides their academic performances, they are to assist the class teacher and the class monitor in maintaining discipline in the class as well as in the college campus. If there are any issues involved regarding questions about the academic and administrative matters of the college, they are expected to coordinate between teacher and the students to resolve such issues. They are expected to handle the matter in a truly matured way as expected to any educated persons. They are also expected to motivate and assist erring students to attend classes and improve their academic performances.

They are also expected to actively participate in the extracurricular activities of the college that is programmed to develop the leadership qualities of the young students. They are expected to encourage and motivate their co-students to participate actively. Activities can range from debates, sports, singing and drama competitions or presentations, educational tours and excursions inter college competitions, college representations etc.

Two teachers are assigned in each class to monitor the role model and record their observations. At the conclusion of the four weeks period, the performances of the RMP students are assessed by the teachers as well as the students through a secret ballot. Half of the score is given to the teachers in charge, while the other half is through the secret ballot of the students. The RMP student who scores the maximum points is declared the Role Model and awarded a badge and a citation of good leadership by the college. However, after the completion of the period of role model practice, if the awarded student denigrates from the standards of the role model, the role model award could be withdrawn as a penalty. This is intended to encourage and promote the students who have been a role model to continue to do so beyond the period and not cease.

The advantage of this practice for the students are that, it brings together the varying degrees of weak and strong students academically and personality wise. While the weaker students or the back benchers with low morale are compelled to undertake leadership tasks that boosts their morale and personality thereby, in some cases, their academic performances, the strong willed or erring students are compelled to compromise their personality or expected to adjust with their personalities. While this practice addresses the above two distinct personality groups of


students, it also offers the opportunity for the average students to discover their finer traits of personality and capabilities and hone in on their strong positive qualities.

This practice has been aiding the students to develop into an well developed personalities.

5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: Ever since this practice has been initiated, there has been a marked change in the academic performances and overall students socialization atmosphere in the college. Students have begun to attend classes more regularly though there are still occasional cases of bunking classes. The students seem to be more emboldened to admit their lapses and weaknesses and approach the teachers more boldly to address their shortcomings academically. Exchanges of class notes well before the commencement of exams have become a priority indicating that the students are more attentive to the progress of the subject courses in the classrooms. Overall, the performance of the student particularly the role models in the internal as well as the external exams have largely improved. This is an encouraging trend given the fact that the college maintains the principle to admit all and any students irrespective of their weak or strong academic records of the past. This is done to offer opportunities to all the women students being the only and first women college of the state. Therefore, given the fact that many academically weak students join the college, while the academic records of the college has improved over the years, recording increasing pass percentage with a few securing distinctions, it may be summarized that this RMP practice has had a role in improving the weak morale of the students and assisted them in performing better academically year to year. A marked improvement is noticed in the behavior of the role model and many of them have become student leaders.

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED: While the practice have become popular among students over the years and helped them in many ways, it is not without any or marginal efforts on the part of the teachers or the RMP students concerned. This is all the more so as constant attention and vigil is demanded over the erring students. The constant monitoring has been all the more been difficult because of the fact that this practice is not a part of the college administrative disciplinary rules but a positive additional effort with the only tool of cajoling and encouraging the students to better themselves. As such there is no fixed rule to follow or be penalized for not abiding by the practice, making this practice a taxing effort though rewarding. The teachers as well as the RMP students only have to be patient and understanding towards the erring students and guide all the students towards a higher understanding in an


academic and personality sense. However, despite such hurdles involved, this practice also offers the

opportunities among the teachers and students to discuss issues of discipline in an open informal way which otherwise would not have been possible. It has offered the platform where the disciplinarian teachers and the students can come together to address matters of students’ overall well being in an informal friendly atmosphere. And such is its advantages over the problems encountered which are expected to bear fruits in the successful future of the students.
