Objective

Theme

The seminar is expected to provide a platform of discussion among administrators and teachers so that they can share their views and get enlightened on the issue of improving the teaching learning process of their institutions. Being a national programme, it is also expected that the participants will learn the best practices and try to implement them in their respective institutions for the benefit of stakeholders. The programmes would benefit institutions that are already NAAC accredited as well as those who are planning to go for accreditation in near future.

Quality is not destination, it is a continuous journey. Quality means doing the right things right. Quality has now become the key word in higher education. Today, enhancing and sustaining quality is the biggest challenge before the higher educational system. Quality of higher education is a multi-dimensional concept. It lies in effectiveness of transmitting knowledge and skill; the authenticity, content, coverage and depth of information; availability of reading/teaching materials; help in removing obstacles to learning; applicability of knowledge in solving the real life problems; fruitfulness of knowledge in personal and social domains; convergence of content and variety of knowledge over space (countries and regions) and different sections of the people; cost-effectiveness and administrative efficiency. Information technology has progressed very fast in the last three decades producing equipment at affordable cost and making their wider application feasible. It has made search, gathering, dissemination, storing, retrieval, transmission and reception of knowledge easier, cheaper and faster, thereby making it a decisive factor in quality enhancement.In ensuring and sustaining quality the role of teachers is very crucial. They are the most important part of qualitative education. The administration based on the principle of cooperation and understanding among the stakeholders usher in achieving the quality enhancement and sustenance of teaching and learning in the educational institution. The role of technology and funding agencies are equally important. In the entire process guidance as well as coordination is provided by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the college as the catalytic agent. The organizers intend to stimulate discussion on various aspects of ensuring quality and bring together different perspectives of quality issues and provide a platform of dynamic interaction between academic experts, scholars and administrators representing different higher educational institutions. The seminar proposes to address the following sub themes:

Ÿ Role of Administration in Quality Enhancement and Sustenance

The name Barrackpore originates from the English word barrack. Barrackpore acquired the name as the site of the first major military base of the British East India Company. Prior to that time, Barrackpore was known as Chanak, and is mentioned by that name in the Manasamangal.The first British barrack or cantonment in India was built here in 1772, providing the town with its name.Two rebellions against British authority took place in Barrackpore in the 19th century. The first of these came in 1824, under Sepoy Binda Tiwary. In 1857, Barrackpore was the site of an incident that some credit with starting the Indian rebellion of 1857; an Indian soldier, Mangal Pandey, attacked his British commander, and was subsequently court-martialled. His regiment was disbanded, an action which offended a number of sepoys and is considered to have contributed to the anger that fueled the rebellion. Presently Barrackpore is a major subdivisional town of 24 Parganas (N) of West Bengal. It is well connected by trains and roads by rest of the state.
