Problems Encountered and Resources Required

(I) Problems Encountered

One constraint is that the college is under obligation to follow the curriculum approved by the affiliating

university without there being any element of discretion.

The college, in order to meet the institutional social responsibility, has to keep the fee charged for self finance

courses under check. Consequently it has to check the expenses as well.

(II) Resources Required

Additional building with more rooms and labs required for introducing new skill-oriented courses

More funding from the UGC

Reasonable hike in fee in concurrence with the university as per the need of the hour.

All-out efforts for the holistic development of students

Goal

The college strongly believes in the all-round development of its students. So, along with the curriculum,

there are a large number of areas where students are encouraged and trained to help them develop a fuller

personality. The college provides them opportunities to get exposure at state, national, international and at

various other levels in order to realize their potential.

The Context

Class room education alone falls short of being adequate when it comes to the all-round development of an

individual. The industry and the society expect students passing out of college to be knowledgeable, skilled as

well as socially responsible citizens. They should have the ability as well as the confidence to shoulder

diverse responsibilities in society. It requires a lot of extra effort to produce such multi-talented and multi-

dimensional individuals. The college goes all out to create and offer platforms and opportunities for its

students geared towards this end.

The Practice

The college takes up many activities aimed at the holistic development of our students. The major areas are as

given below.

Extra Mural Activities (EMA) and Sports

EMA

The EMA Cell scouts around for and trains talented students for various types of cultural activities. For this

purpose, it provides competitive platforms at various levels. Our EMA students have earned name and fame at

zonal, inter-zonal, university, state, national as well as international level. The college sends its students to

other competitions also where they have repeatedly proved their mettle.

The College EMA Team has won the Zonal Overall Trophy for the 11th consecutive year. The

college EMA Team has won the Inter-Zonal Overall Trophy this year for the 7th year consecutively.

We have been runner up twice for Inter-Zonal overall trophy.11 students of our College won cash

The distance of the village from the college is considerable and reaching there remains a difficult task.

Many of the teaching staff is female and visiting remote village area poses a threat perception for them.


Private comfortable and secured conveyance is required.

Though we could garner intangible contribution from the external organisations, there remains a need for

more tangible or financial support.

Tree Plantation

Goal

The college has always endeavoured to uphold the social welfare and shoulder its social responsibility.

The goal is to identify an areas in the college and surroundings in the society, where suitable tree

plantation should be done and motivate the students and staff to carry out as much as possible plantation.

It is for the betterment of life quality as on today as well as for the future.

To Create Awareness about importance of trees

To motivate and train the students to take up plantation in their lives

economic situation to come forward on this issue.

The Context

In this wake the college has performed a number of social welfare activities, as an outreach venture, in

the past in different places as well as in the college. It is the result of continuous hard work for many

years that the college at present is fully lush green with trees, plants, grass which includes a variety of

medicinal plants too. It is taken as a task of responsibility to ensure green all around.

The Practice

In this context the college has planted a large number of trees, plants, shrubs, flowers, pot flowers,

hanging pots flowers, seasonal plants, medicinal plants etc. such that today there are more than 19000

plants in the college as per the green audit. It is a continuos practice for the college.

Evidence of Success

affair

The college NSS units (Boys and Girls) have been working shoulder to shoulder

The complete break up of the types of plants is kept in the college records

Apart from the college premises a number of planting activities have been carried out in

the surroundings also.

Summary of Plant Population in the College

S.No. Name of Tree/Plant Year 2017-18 Year 2018-19
