Preface
Sound education system is a cornerstone for the development of
any Nation. One of the unique features of modern Indian Education is
the tremendous advancement of Women’s education. Education of the
girls is considered to be more important than that of the boys. Also
national policy states that “Education will be used as an agent of basic
change in the status of women. In order to neutralize the accumulated
distortions of the past, there will be a well conceived edge in favour of
women” Recognizing this spirit of the framers of our education, our
college has been contributing its might in empowering women to usher
social, economic and political status of women.
The preparation of the present self study report is the result of the
continuous endeavour of the college in general and the IQAC in
particular. The governing body of the Bapuji Educational Association
has been quite encouraging and supportive to the expectations of the
college community. It is hoped that the present report is indicative of the
dreams, expectations, endeavours and performance of the college.

PROFILE OF THE COLLEGE :
A.V. Kamalamma College for women was started in the year
1967. Under the stewardship of B.E.A. (Regd)., it has played right from
its inception a pivotal role in imparting education to women of
Davanagere and rural areas around Davanagere. As envisioned by
Rabindranath Tagore that “The highest education is that which does not
merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all
existence”. Our college imparts education by taking this as guiding
principle. The vision of a college has to go beyond the classrooms. We at
AVK exhort our students to invest their time on the campus between
curricular, sports and co-curricular activities and also urge them to be
sensitive to our national priorities and the social problems. While
imparting education at an affordable cost our institution focuses on
synchronizing traditions and modernity as well as blending values and
ethics with strong global competence. It is a fact that a large number of
our students come from rural areas and this is an opportunity to carve out
their own niches in society.
The college has spacious campus with well ventilated class rooms,
well equipped science, psychology and computer laboratories, a hygienic
canteen and a digitalized library. The college has a separate office with
internet facility and a record room. The sports department is provided
with a big sports hall for indoor games and a multi gym facility. The
college building is built around a spacious play ground with a stage for
conducting various programmes.

The college offers B.A., B.Sc., Home Science, B.Com and BBM
courses. The teaching and learning process is enriched through
innovative teaching aids. Our academic track record is quite glorious
with ranks, distinctions and first classes. The students are not only
trained academically but also with professional skills and soft skills. The
library is our crowning glory which starts as a learning resource. The
NSS and NCC wings are added feathers with their extension activities
contributing to the societal development. The college has a MOU with
Ratnamma ladies hostel run by Bapuji Educational Association and
Annapoorna Hostel. The college has a healthy practice of publishing a
magazine to stimulate the writing talents of students. Various
committees have been constituted for the purpose of enhancing the
internal quality assurance which ensures academic progress. Thus the
college strives hard to translate its vision into reality.

The Executive Summary
Criterion I : Curricular aspects
A.V. Kamalamma college for women is affiliated to Davanagere
University which has a distinctive academic profile. The college is committed
to render quality education keeping in view the rural ethos and modern spirit.
Most of our faculty members are experienced with doctoral degree and many
of them are on the board of studies and board of examiners. With the help of
these experienced faculty members, the college successfully carries out the
task of updating and redesigning the curriculum. (the college has introduced
BBM course as a new academic programme in the year 2007–08)
In order to upgrade curricular designing the teachers are encouraged
to participate orientation and refreshes courses, TQM, seminars, conferences
and workshop regularly. Through proper feedback from academic peers,
student, employees and other stakeholders, the curriculum is further updated.
The academic flexibility is achieved through updating interdisciplinary
approach. The department of Home Science offers a new combination with
Arts subjects. The students are motivated to take up seminars and project
works. Major curricular designing took place in the academic year 2014-15
and CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) work is under progress for the year
2016–17.
Along with achieving academic excellence the students are
encouraged to achieve professional and life skills. The college offers

A.V. Kamalamma College for Women, Davangere-577 002. Page 10
Criterion II : Teaching Learning and Evaluation
The institution has updated a fair and transparent admission process
which is carried out in compliance with university guidelines.
As the teaching–learning and evaluation process is the core
programme of the institution, it is given top priority. An elaborate teaching
learning methodology with a scope for interactive space is followed. We have
come a very long way from “teacher-centered” passive learning to “student
centered” activity based participatory learning. This is achieved through the
usage of technological tools like internet, LCD, OHP, CD and DVD’s.
Annually dramas which are text oriented are shown to the students to support
their learning. The film club in the college chooses cinemas which
supplement the students learning methodologies. Every year the commerce
department conducts a programme wherein the senior students teach the
juniors with the help of skits and role plays. Field work, project works and
work books (English Language) are some of the student centric methods of
teaching and learning. Remedial classes are conducted for slow learners. All
advanced learners are encouraged to present papers, attend workshops and
symposiums.
Various committees are formed for various purposes which support
TLE process. The students are informed well in advance about academic tests,
examinations and assignments. Separate internal books are maintained to
assess the student’s performance. The valued books are given to the students
to maintain transparency in evaluation. The university has adopted coding
method in annual exams and photo copies of valued answer scripts are made
available to the students if necessary. The feedback of the stake holders plays
a significant role in updating the TLE process.
The teaching staff of the college is a blend of young, energetic and
experienced teachers. Many teachers with Doctoral degree are eligible for

process the teachers update themselves by presenting papers in state level,
national level seminars and conferences.

Our institution creates a conducive environment to motivate
research, consultancy and extension activities. There were three Ph.D. holders

for Ph.D. degree in their respective disciplines. Six more faculty members are
awarded M.Phil. degree. Among the guest faculty four of them are awarded
Ph.D. degree and nineteen of them are awarded M.Phil. degree. The college
has constituted a research committee which facilitates and monitors research
activities. A minor project has been completed by the faculty of the Botany
department and one minor project from the department of History is under
process. The faculty from the department of Chemistry has undertaken a
major project (5 lakhs). With a full fledged research center many faculty
members are expected to take up research programmes. Apart from individual
research programmes some of the departments have involved their students in
research and project works. Few faculty members are involved in consultancy
services free of cost in their respective areas.
The extension activities in the college are carried out by NSS, NCC
and SWO wings. These wings contribute to the societal development through
community extension activities like blood donation, Aids awareness
programme, social forestry and awareness programmes in areas of women
oriented problems, Breast feeding, Population, Traffic, Consumer awareness,

7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format atpage no. 98, which have
contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed
to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
1. Title of the practice : JOY OF GIVING.
2. Goal :
The chief aim of this best practice is to empower women – JOY
OF GIVING aims at an attitudinal change among the students. It also
enhances the community consciousness. It aims at sensitizing the students
regarding problems of their Peers. Since it is not mandatory, students
voluntarily come forward to donate minimum one rupee and maximum of
their choice. The very title JOY OF GIVING appeals to the happy mood of
the students and encourages them to donate. Teachers initiate this practice by
donating minimum 10 rupees to elicit generous response from the students.
Ultimately it aims at co-operation, co-ordination and happy co-existence
among students.
Self Study Report for Reaccreditation
A.V. Kamalamma College for Women, Davangere-577 002. Page 135
3. The context :
Though the best practice JOY OF GIVING is the brain child of
benevolent student friendly thoughts, its designing and implementation had its
own contextual challenges for us to encounter though we regard it has an
exposure and experience. After introducing and explaining the best practice
JOY OF GIVING, the response of the students was so full of enthusiasm and
generosity that its handling was quite a challenging task. As the practice
aimed not only at the empowerment of our students, but also an establishment
of a helpline for the women problems identified by our students, taking each
and every case became a very challenging task. We had to prioritize the
seriousness and significance of the cases brought by the students.
The second challenging task is of a very delicate nature. While
extending our practice to the outer circle i.e. outside the college, we had to
encounter certain delicate problems pertaining to the families of the troubled
candidate. There were some problems from the negative elements of the
society. Some unauthorized organizations would interfere sometimes making
the problems still more problematic. In a particular case trying to patch up the
differences between husband and wife, the relatives of the husband created a
mess.
4. The Practice :
This best practice entitle JOY OF GIVING is a voluntary donating
practice. The college has been practicing this ‘JOY OF GIVING’ from 2011.
The practice goes like this. Every month on 1st the Committee constituted for
this purpose takes charge of collecting the voluntary contribution from
students/ teachers which starts from minimum Rupee one for students and
some amount from teachers. The collected amount is kept in ‘Women
empowerment fund’. This ‘JOY OF GIVING’ fund is used for the solutions of
students with various problems. Students come to the committee with
academic, personal, financial and other problems. The committee prioritizes
the problems of the students and realizing the gravity of the problems. The
committee with the available fund and counseling tries to solve the problems.
Self Study Report for Reaccreditation
A.V. Kamalamma College for Women, Davangere-577 002. Page 136
The uniqueness of the practice lies in the fact that it not only responds to the
problems of our students, but as an extension it also tries to solve the
problems of those women who are identified by our students. This part of the
practice enhances the community consciousness of the students. It also
sensitizes them to the problems faced by women in the society. In the process
of identifying the women problems, our students encounter experiences (both
positive and negative) and try to understand the horror of women
exploitations. These experiences enable them to acquire qualities like courage,
mercy, fighting spirit to ensure justice. Our students practically jump into the
area to adopt like skills. The practice in its procedure trains the students to
lead an ideal life with freedom, courage and responsibility. The women and
their problems identified thus are brought before the committee and are
handled with at most diligence, cautiousness and intelligence. A separate
account book, register and file are maintained to document the procedure.
However, this practice has some constraints or limitations. The
committee handles the cases of the college students very easily and
comfortably. But while handling the cases, from outside the college, the
committee has been forced to accept the limitation. Since it has to handle
women’s issues, it is bound to encounter some problems or protests from the
families and relatives of the troubled woman. There are some problems from
others totally unconnected with.
5. Evidence of Success :
The clear evidence of success in this best practice JOY OF
GIVING is seen in the very successful collection of money and the judicious
use of the same for this noble purpose. Our target is to empower our students
through academic, financial and moral support. We have successfully done
this through minimizing the drop out rates. Students who come with economic
problems are given financial aids. Counseling and psychological counseling
are made available for the needy students. Many unique cases have been
handled with at most care and diligence. We have been successfully reaching
our targets in our students’ cases. But we are not completely successful in
Self Study Report for Reaccreditation
A.V. Kamalamma College for Women, Davangere-577 002. Page 137
handling cases outside the college. We have handled twelve cases
successfully but failed in five cases due to some unavoidable circumstances.
These results are revised with patient analysis and evaluation. The
results properly reviewed indicate that this best practice can be continued
successfully in the coming years even though it has certain limitations.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required :
Problems encountered in this best practice are explained in detail
under the heading ‘The context’ and ‘The Practice’.
Resources required are also stated clearly in the earlier sections.
This practice has been maintained by the volunteer student/teacher
contributions every month. The Committee constituted of a convener and five
members is dedicated to this best practice. Financial contributions made by
the students/teachers play a vital role in the success of this best practice.
Best Practice – 2
1. Title of the Practice : YOU ARE NOT ALONE
2. GOAL :
The chief aim of this best practice “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” is
to provide a very strong academic, personal and moral support to our students.
It aims at removing the meaningless FEAR factor in their lives, So that they
can lead an ideal life with enough freedom, courage, love and respect. There
are various committees working under NAAC which render solid support to
the students in all aspects. Nevertheless our students, being girls have certain
problems which do not take the support of these committees. It is needless to
say that all our programmes are directly or indirectly aimed at Women
empowerment. Some issues slip away from our notice and our committees
also. Such delicate issues are handled under this practice. The practice aims at
providing a strong counseling to the students regarding love, marriage,
children and other conjugal issues which escape our notice and sometimes
purposefully hidden from elders and teachers.

3. The context :
Dealing with teenage problems itself is a very challenging task. Since
this practice concentrates on the problems of girls non-academic, personal and
teenage problems designing and implementing the practice is very carefully
and brilliantly handled.
Though parents’ guidance play a vital role in shaping the life and career
of their children, most often they fail to observe what their children do outside
their homes. Especially, girls who are attracted towards various matters like
love, sex, elopement, marriage etc, The college considers these issues quite
seriously and has decided to counsel such students very diligently through this
best practice entitled ‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’. The committee meant for
this is dedicated to the cause of safe guarding the moral life of our students.
Entering into the personal lives of the students is known to be very precarious,
critical and sometimes dangerous also. Curbing their mobile usage in the
college campus is another challenging task. Since 40% of our students come
from nearby villages, they need mobiles to drop important information to their
parents. This necessity and freedom to use mobiles can lead to unnecessary
problems like chatting with boy friends which lead to many more problems.
Controlling this activity and segregating necessary and unnecessary phone
calls is a real challenge. The real problem and challenge lie in the fact that it is
difficult to realize their seriousness and the involvement in their love affairs.
The tendency of the students to get attracted towards the glittering matters of
love is very difficult to curb. Celebrating Valentine’s Day without any in
depth knowledge and purpose is another big craze of today’s youth. On the
whole the entire issue is quite sensitive and needs to be handled skillfully.
4. The Practice :
The best practice “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” is a novel venture
which attempts at streamlining the students academic, non academic, personal
and conjugal lives. Keeping in view the tendencies of today’s youth the
practice concentrates on building a strong moral foundation for their future
lives. The committee constituted for this practice arranges special lectures,
Self Study Report for Reaccreditation
A.V. Kamalamma College for Women, Davangere-577 002. Page 139
counseling, psychological counseling, legal counseling & friendly advice
sessions to the needy girls regarding important matters like, teenage problems,
eve teasing, marital / conjugal problems, mobile mania, and other delicate
issues, students who attend special lectures on goal oriented academic matters
are also indirectly influenced, but specially arranged lectures on these issues
cater specifically to the needs of these students.
Most of the students in our college are married and several of them have
marital problems, domestic violence and problems of divorces.
The practice has three step procedures. The first step involves general
guidance in such issues through special lectures by experts in women studies,
legal issues, medical /health issues etc.
The second step involves counseling the needy in such matters friendly
advice serious, warning within closed quarters.
The third step involves strict measures taken to deal with such students
and cases which have passed through the first and second steps without any
improvement.
The cases which reach the third step are the most challenging ones.
Strict measures like strong counseling, warning, taking away the mobile,
complaining the parents are taken by the committee along with the leadership
of the principal. In all the three steps, the students are made to feel that they
are not alone.
5. Evidence of success :
The evidence of success in this practice lies in the fact that most of the
students have realized their mistakes, solved their problems, received our
support and suggestions very cordially in the first and the second step itself.
There are very few cases which reach the third step. Settlements of these are
also made in a very cordial manner. Rare cases and tough cases are brought to
the notice of the principal. They are also handled successfully.
The results review is an important part of the practice. The results of the
practice all these four years indicate that this practice can be continued with
the same enthusiasm and benevolence.
