PREFACE The institution is on the threshold of entering into the third edition of assessment and
accreditation. It is all geared up to welcome and greet the respected and learned
members of the peer team on behalf of the Government of Karnataka. In a span of five
years and four months from the date of previous assessment, the institution took a giant
stride both in terms of infrastructure and academic excellence as is evident from the
report. From then onwards, the institution never looked back. Supported by a team of
dedicated members of the staff, I, in my capacity as the Principal of Government
College for Women, Mandya, take this opportunity to place on record the yeomen
service rendered by the institution to the cause of higher education and society at large.
The institution lived up to the Vision Mission and Objectives set by the government;
bridge the chasm between ideal and reality to the best possible extent and fully justified
the faith reposed by the student community. What is more important and is of critical
importance is that the institution in all earnestness and full vigour took the
recommendations made by the previous team and implemented them in letter and spirit.
The institution witnessed a surge in programmes, student populace, student-friendly
activities, societal and environmental activities. Most of these activities were conducted
under the aegis of Department of Sports, N. S. S. and Nature and Adventure Club. The
greatest invention is, indeed, Jnana siri which broke the artificial barrier created by the
rigidly set electives, which, otherwise, would have thwarted the intellectual growth and
the holistic development of students. This is a yearlong programme spanning a wide
range of themes – from the nuance of theatrical performance to the recent discoveries
and inventions made in the fields of Science and Technology. The most notable activity,
however, is the conduct of health checkup camp for general public. This is only the tip
of the ice burg of social welfare activities which the college hoisted and the institution
only emphasizes the critical issue that the members of faculty did not live in ivory
towers forgetting the grass roots from which they evolved over a period of time. And
what is more important is; the Principal and the members of faculty engaged in these
activities amidst their relentless pursuit of knowledge in their respective fields in
addition to the most important task of guiding the student community. The enchanting
beauty of ambience has only to be experienced to believe and admit. The Principal, the
members of faculty are eagerly waiting to hold an affectionate and warm welcome to
the members of the peer team.

furniture, fixtures and equipment for laboratories etc. All the class rooms are adequately furnished
with comfortable seating and ergonomically designed furniture. There are 21 departments of

receives due importance. There are faculty members trained by NIMHANS to deal with emotional
issues. Grievance Redress Cell is active. Women Cell protects female employees and students
from harassment, albeit, most unlikely. The institution extends several amenities to students like

the ambience of the institution. Solar panel and rainwater percolation pit take care of natural

CRITERION V: STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION

following information like combinations offered, eligibility criteria for the programmes, etc. Many
students get scholarship. Both central and state governments help the students. The institution

or employment. Teachers are so keen in helping the students to pursue higher studies that those
who pursue higher studies frequently approach us for guidance. Drop out is minimal.
N.S.S., Nature and Adventure Club, etc., build other dimensions of personality to achieve holistic
development.
CRITERION VI GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
The quality of leadership and personal charisma of the Principal is more than evident in the
quantum of donations. Quantum of donations is incredibly a gargantuan figure; Rs.2.73 million,
an amazing figure. This is amazing just because this college is situated in a district which is
educationally and socially backward. It speaks volumes of the determination and the level of
commitment of the leader. The institution is dedicated to provide value-based education with
emphasis upon quality to girls, more importantly, to girls from marginalised section of the society
with the ulterior motive of creating an egalitarian society. The top management, the Principal and
the faculty work relentlessly in this direction. Plans are designed accordingly under the guidance
from the Principal Secretary to Higher Education and the Commissioner for Collegiate Education.
Governance is essentially democratic in nature. The execution of work follows all efforts on the
part of the Principal to take everyone into confidence. IQAC is one cell which stands by the
Principal to successfully translate all desired and desirable policies to reality. All stakeholders are
taken into confidence at every stage. Alumni association is another wing which forms an
inseparable component of the college. Teaching-learning process occupies centre stage. Members
of faculty do not spare any opportunity of sharpening their learning. So they diligently keep
themselves busy with higher learning; pursue Ph.D., take up research projects, contribute papers
to journals, attend seminars etc. acquisition of knowledge is reflected in class room lectures
which directly benefits students. In order to strengthen learning further extra-curricular
programmes flood the working days. Jnana Siri, an interdisciplinary programme makes up for the
limitations arising out of limitations caused by restricted electives. Specialists from all walks of
life participate in the all the activities of the institution. Any activity of the institution is the
cumulative effect of collective wisdom of the members of the faculty under the aegis of the
Principal. The thinking is not limited to the present. It has evolved a clear and perspective for
posterity and works from now only. Finance is another important factor. The committees are
prudent enough to make optimum use of available resources, just as it makes use of Human
Resources, and to get the best out of it. Society and Mother Nature are not forgotten. Education
imparted is not just examination-oriented; it is complete personality-oriented. N.S.S, Scouts and
Guides, to name a few, remind the students of their roots and culture. The institution is
technology savvy. Students have the privilege of assessing the institution in general and members
of faculty in particular. In the endeavor, the backbone is Office staff without which the institution
comes to standstill. It will be a serious lapse, therefore, not to acknowledge its role. The welfare
of the personnel is not neglected. There are several, ranging from primary needs to luxury.
CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
Green audit is an on-going process. Energy saving measure includes both conservation and
generation of energy. Solar energy is tapped by installing solar panels on the main building and
has reduced our dependence on hydel-electricity to a considerable extent. We have initiated the
replacement of regular bulbs by LED bulbs in a phased manner. We have an elaborate plan for
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 10 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
increasing ground water table by installing percolation pits in the campus in phased manner. As a
part of this plan, one percolation pit is already in use. Foremost concern is to create awareness
among students about the importance and conservation of water. We try our best to prevent
leakage of water. Rain water from main building is channelised to percolation pit and surrounding
trees. Implementation of rain water harvesting is in the pipeline. Over the years, sincere efforts
have borne fruit and we have good number of trees in the campus now which have countered
Carbon level. Plantation of saplings is one of the major activities of N.S.S. units in the campus and
also in the nearby villages. Bio-degradable and non- biodegradable waste are dumped into
separate pits. Dried leaves and paper are not burnt. Jnana siri, Chintana lekha and Neladasiri are
our publications. Forest Day is an inter-collegiate programme. Nature and Adventure Club and
Sports cater to physical aspect and ecological awareness. Writers and poets enrich learning.
Butterfly Park and Green House have beautified the campus. N.S.S. is pro-active and community
service is a habit. Endowment prize and Jnana siri are the best practices.

curriculum. These documents are reviewed and renewed every year by the teachers who
incorporate novel and necessary information.
At the beginning of each semester, meetings at department level are conducted to discuss the
effective implementation of the curriculum. This process involves the distribution of curriculum
within the framework of the time table, which is centrally designed to the convenience of the

from it, some departments have maintained their own libraries. The institution has provided
computers along with internet access to almost all the departments. Laboratories and some of the
class rooms are equipped with LCD projectors. All the laboratories are provided with internet
connection. Well-equipped seminar halls with Smart board, LCD projector and accessories are
made available for effective teaching.

meetings are conducted throughout the academic sessions to keep abreast with the latest trends in
their fields of study. Professors from the university and other affiliated colleges are invited for
discussions, workshops and for professional interactions with the faculty members.
Many new things are acquired and also communicated by our faculty members during Board of
Studies/Board of Examination meetings held by the university. Faculty members participate in
workshops, seminars and conferences at state, national and international levels. This inculcates in
them the ability to develop and deliver curriculum.
The college has set up a Career Guidance and Placement cell. It maintains professional relations
with the representatives of industry and arranges for lectures to bridge the industry-institution gap.
The HR managers of various companies are invited to the campus to interact with the students.
The industry and institutional visits arranged by various departments from time to time keeps them
abreast of the latest developments in the field.
The support of industry and research bodies is enlisted wherever it is possible to implement the
curriculum effectively. V. C. Farm, the Agricultural Research Institute, Sugar factory and the milk
producing unit of KMF lend big support in this regard.
The faculty members of the college are also motivated to take up research projects initiated by the
affiliating university or the UGC. Faculty members on their own also keep on interacting with
research bodies and participate in research projects.
Suggestions and guidelines are obtained from the University whenever needed. The faculty
members are in touch regularly with their counter parts of the affiliating university to get the latest
information on respective issues.
1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff members to the development of
the curriculum by the University? (Number of staff members/departments represented on
the Board of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback provided,
specific suggestions etc.)
Designing and restructuring of courses is vested in the affiliating university. Though the college
cannot modify the syllabus on its own, yet the affiliating university has a system in place to get
feedback from its affiliated colleges through the Board of Studies to consider the same.
The college makes significant contribution in the curriculum design and development through its
staff members who are on the Boards of Studies. Some of our teachers as members of the boards

of studies represent their case during the restructuring of curriculum. Syndicate is the highest
decision making body of the affiliating University which has a final say in this regard.
Whenever teachers, who are not members of the Boards of Studies, find that the syllabus needs to
be modified to meet the present trends, they communicate their ideas to respective members of the
boards of studies.
It has been a regular practice on the part of the college to depute senior faculties to meet the
students exclusively and informally to obtain informal feedback from them.
The members of the faculty assemble periodically and discuss among themselves the relevance of
the syllabus designed by the affiliating university.
1.1.7 Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered (other than those
under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If ‘yes’, give details on the process

The institution does not design curriculum for any course. But the institution develops curricula
for add-on programmes (approved by the University of Mysore).
1.1.8 How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum are achieved in
the course of implementation?
The mission of the institution is to provide access to higher education to all sections of the society
of the surrounding area irrespective of caste and creed. The college provides ample opportunities
particularly to the weaker section. The college provides necessary infrastructural and other
facilities to ensure that the stated objectives of the college are achieved. From time to time
feedbacks are collected from the stakeholders to know whether the college is fulfilling their needs
and meeting their expectations.
That the goal of majority of students of this college is to pursue higher education and research
activities is strong evidence to the claim that the objectives of the college have achieved their
aspirations. It is noteworthy that the institution has met the aspirations of many former students of
this college, including the present Principal Dr. Leela Appaji, to hold prestigious position in the
society.
The IQAC lends valuable support whenever needed in ensuring the implementation of the
curriculum by periodically monitoring the activities of all departments and committees in the
college so as to achieve the end of the programmes.

curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes?
The college has a well-structured mechanism to obtain feedback from students and other
stakeholders on different issues. Feedback from the final year students is taken at the end of
academic year. The part related to academic matter is communicated to the university by the
members of the Boards of Studies in academic meetings.
The Principal, being a member of the syndicate, which is the highest body of the university, has
contributed a lot in this regard.
Feedback is obtained from parents during meetings with them.
1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institution during the last
four years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/programmes?
Any other relevant information regarding curricular aspects which the college would like to
include.
The institution has introduced four post graduate programmes, viz., History, Kannada, Commerce
and Chemistry. This is the oldest institutions in this region which caters exclusively to the
educational needs of girls. The college also has hostel facility. Most of our girls come from rural
areas and belong to economically weaker section who cannot afford to go to big cities to pursue
higher education. The conservative mindset which is prevalent in the region is another impediment
in the way of higher education for girls. There are almost 2800 students in the college and our
college is the only recourse of getting higher education for most of the girls. Owing to the demand
of the stakeholders, the college has introduced new programmes.

Criterion II
Teaching – Learning and evaluation
2.1 Student enrolment and Profile:
2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process?
The institution follows the stipulations of the state and the university with respect to publicity of
and transparency in admission. Social network, of late, is one important medium through which
information relating to admission is disseminated. The position and excellence enjoyed by the
alumni is another positive factor which goes in favour of the institution. The alumni not only
publicise but also recommend admission. So it is publicity reinforced. Yet, traditionally practiced
route is still in vogue. Initially, notification inviting application in prescribed format is displayed
on the notice board. When the candidate obtains the application form, she also receives the
prospectus, titled `Vidyarthi Margadarshi’ detailing admission procedure, along with the
application form. The prospectus helps the candidate to access information on all aspects of the
institution. It contains the following details.
Boards of academic excellence, N.S.S., achievements in Sports and a list of endowment prizes
Procedure of admission, fee structure and details of scholarship
Available Infrastructure
Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities
Facilities
In order to maintain transparency an admission committee is constituted which carries out the
admission process. Applications are scrutinized by the committee. The seat matrix and list of
eligible candidates are determined by the norms of reservation, evolved by the state, for SC/ST,
OBC and minority community.
After the scrutiny of duly filled in application forms, the list of selected candidates is displayed.
However, the list of candidates selected for the PG programmes is displayed on the notice boards
of concerned centers for PG programmes. These lists contain relevant data, viz., names of the
candidates, percent of marks scored in the qualifying examination and categories to which the
selected candidates belong. These aspects take care of transparency.
The college has earned the recognition as one of the best colleges offering courses in Arts,
Commerce, Science and Management. Its popularity and goodwill among the stake holders is
more than evident.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 38 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (ex: i. merit, ii. Common
admission test conducted by state agencies and national agencies, iii. Combination of merit
and entrance test or merit, entrance test and interview, IV. Any other) related to various
programmes of the Institution.
Admission process is governed by two criteria - merit and social justice - evolved by the
university and the government. Accordingly, reservation for S.C., S.T. and other backward
categories takes precedence over general merit. In the absence of entrance test, performance in the
qualifying examination is the accepted criterion of merit which is a common factor in all cases.
When availability of seats overtakes demand, admission is made on first come first serve basis.
However, admission for all PG courses is done on the basis of the combination of performance in
the qualifying examination and entrance test.
The admission committee consists of a convener, a senior member of faculty, assisted by other
members from teaching and office wings. One nominee from university monitors the admission
process for P.G courses. 10% of the seats are reserved in Post Graduate programmes for students
from other universities. As has been the practice, merit is prioritized within the ambit of statutory
reservation.
At the moment, admissions are conditioned by demand. The college runs courses in Humanities,
Pure and Applied Sciences, Commerce and Management. The demand for various courses keeps
fluctuating. As of now, Commerce stream is in great demand. Hence in case of B. Com.
programme, two or more than two lists have to be announced. Therefore in this particular case
reservation is relevant to promote social justice. On the contrary, there is a general decline in
demand for Humanities, Management, Pure and Applied Sciences. Therefore candidates applying
for these courses are admitted directly. However, in all cases candidates and parents are briefed of
the relevance of courses offered by the institution.
2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission at entry level for
each of the programmes offered by the college and provide a comparison with other
colleges of the affiliating university within the city/district.
A candidate with 35% in the qualifying examination is eligible to get admission to any UG
programme. The university is conducting entrance examination for admission to PG
programmmes from 2013-14. 50% of marks scored in the qualifying examination and 50 % of
marks scored in CET together determine the rank. For admission to PG programmmes, minimum
marks required for general category in the qualifying examination is 45% and for SC/ST and
others it is 40%.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and student profiles
annually? If ‘yes’, what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the
improvement of the process?
The college has a well-defined mechanism to review the admission process and profile of students
annually. Discrepancies and lapses in the previous year are noted and rectified before the
subsequent admission process takes off. In order to streamline the process and make it student-
friendly, the following facilities were provided at the time of admission during this academic year.
Help desk service
Additional admission counters
Spacious lounge
Keeping the office open throughout the day
Briefing the S.C./S.T. and backward class students of facilities extended by the government
The profile of students is collected by the faculty during the orientation programme and details of
students are uploaded on the university website for registration. Their performance in all fields,
academic as well as extracurricular, is recorded. The outcome is that the following practices
receive precedence in the interest of students.
Conducting Orientation Programme for fresh students to orient them to university education
Conducting Spoken English classes to mitigate the problems faced
Introducing the nuances of individual disciplines
Augmenting and improving existing infrastructure and facilities like hostel
Identifying the hidden talent and providing yearlong training
These measures have helped the students to familiarise themselves with the style of functioning of
the college. Thanks to these measures, students have succeeded in discovering their latent
potential and have learnt to channelise the same. This has resulted in significant improvement in
the overall response of the students to the endeavour of the faculty in improving the
comprehension and other faculties of students.
2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/ improve access for following categories of
students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution and its students profile
demonstrate/ reflect the National commitment to diversity and inclusion - SC/ST, OBC,
Women, Differently abled, Economically weaker sections, Any other

inclusion. Following is the seat matrix followed during admission which adheres strictly to the
norms laid down by the state.
SC / ST/ OBC/ Economically weaker section: Reservation policy of the state is strictly
followed to ensure that the strategies adopted by the government and university to help SC/ST and
OBC applicants reach equity and access all requisite facilities. Book- bank, scholarship, Earn-
While-You-Learn, etc. are the facilities extended to them. Since this is a college for women, there
is no need to reserve seats for girls. Hostel facilities for UG and PG students are available to cater
to the needs of girls coming from distant places.
Differently abled:
Separate counter is created in the library for their sake which functions on all the working days
and throughout the working hours. Ramp is constructed in the upcoming building for library.

This is the only government college for girls in the city which is well-equipped to suit to the needs
of the day. Therefore there is demand for admission to this college.
The reasons for increase in admission
The institution has provided adequate infrastructure facilities such as well-equipped
computer laboratory, laboratories, class rooms, best sport facilities with gymnasiums
etc.
Hostel facility is provided to girls within the campus.
The excellent performance of the students in the university examinations bagging
medals and distinctions is another reason.
Exceptional achievement of N.S.S. is another factor.
Reason for decrease in the admission
Admission for courses like B.A and B.Sc. has decreased because of the general trend prevailing
among the students to pursue professional courses. The decrease in the admission in the recent
years is also due to the fact that another Government College situated in the city has opened
admission to girls.
2.2 Catering to diverse needs of students:
2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently abled students and ensure adherence
to government policies in this regard.
The college helps differently-abled student to the extent possible. They are given special guidance
and counseling by the teachers.
During examination such students can seek help from others subject to strict norms, if needed.
Separate counter is created in the library for their sake which functions on all the working days
and throughout the working hours. Ramp is constructed in the upcoming building for library.
Physical assistance is provided if needed.
Faculty members help such students in all possible ways.
Rest room for physically handicapped is provided as per guidelines issued by the government
2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the
commencement of the programme? If “Yes”, give details on the process.
Interaction acts as bridge course which helps the members of faculty to assess the needs and the
skill of the students.
Further, during orientation programme, the Principal and faculty members explain introduce
unique features of courses and university examinations, norms of the university which regulate
attendance, rules & regulations of college, conduct of various activities and different clubs to the
fresh students. Members of faculty are introduced during this programme.
Fresh students are introduced to the elements of teaching-learning process in the introductory
classes. And tests are conducted to assess their level of knowledge and to identify slow and
advanced learners in some departments.

Teachers give more space to the students to help them cope with the programme to which they
are enrolled.
Since one of the most significant challenges faced by the majority of new entrants is fluency in
English and competence of communicative skills, the college has adopted a definitive strategy to
help the students before the actual commencement of regular classes. Programmes at initial level
and advanced level on Spoken English comprising of different modules are arranged for the
enhancement of communication skills.
2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of
the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the stream of programme of their choice.
Orientation and Personality Development Programmes are conducted for all new comers. These
programmes are designed to introduce fresh students to the disciplines of their choice. These
programmes are conducted at class level by concerned teachers. Since every discipline is unique,
no common method can be thought of. Personalised interaction with teachers helps the students to
overcome their shortcomings to a certain extent. Slow learners are identified through interaction.
Remedial classes, unit tests, revision of complex topics reading materials for reference are
some of the measures practiced to bring them on par with mainstream students.
Parents-teachers meetings are organised, where parents may freely express their views on
matters related to learning environment and teachers communicate their observations on the
progress of their wards.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion,
environment etc.?
The institution holds the tradition of imparting holistic education with emphasis on moral values.
It sensitizes its staff and students on such issues by organising
seminars/workshops/rallies/conferences/extension lectures etc. Extension activities like National
Service Scheme, Nature & Adventure club, etc. render helping hand on this count. Environmental
Science is a part of the curriculum which further reinforces the efforts of the college. Prevention of
Atrocities against Women Cell has been established to create awareness and guard the interest of
students and female employees. The cell organises programmes related to the evils of female-
foeticide, domestic violence, etc. and creates awareness on these issues.

efforts of the institution in getting installed Solar water heaters have been installed Solar Power
Panels of 20 KVA have been installed to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the main building.
Solar power heaters have been installed in the hostel too. This installation also promotes awareness
on renewable energy resources among students.
All students have to study Environmental Science in one semester or the other. This issue is further
adumbrated by relentless efforts of N. S. S., IQAC Innovative Club, Red Cross, Green house, butter
fly park, and Nature & Adventure club.. NSS wing of this institution was adjudged as the best NSS
unit at national and state level and Sri K.B. Narayan as the best NSS officer at state level. It is a
matter of great pride to place on record that the recognition of the performance of unit was accorded
by none other than the Hon’ble President of the nation. It plays a vital role in personality
development and spearheading the spirit of social work Sense of participation in nation building and
inculcation of social responsibilities is the motto of the unit.
Various activities are organised by the NSS unit throughout the year like cleaning of the college
campus, awareness programme in slum areas and planting of trees in villages etc. in which students
and teachers actively participate. All these units care for inclusiveness also in addition to emphasis
upon environmental issues. The activities are detailed below.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational /learning needs of
advanced learners?
The advanced learners are identified at the time of admission itself. Based on the inputs received
from mentors other teachers who engage their classes respond to special learning needs of
advanced learners. They provide special care for advanced learners by helping them and
suggesting additional reading materials from select journals and books. They are motivated to
refer texts and journals which are available in the library. Selection is involved in this process.
Preparation of charts, assignments, seminars help advanced learners a good deal.
The institution provides a special platform for these students to actualize their innate talent and
exhibit the same through inter-college competitions/Fests, academic and co-curricular activities
etc. in the college and at other institutes so that their potential is fully exploited and self-

confidence matures. They receive training by experts in different fields. The student thus learns to
become a life-long learner and strengthens one’s own motivation leading to research culture and
aptitude.
2.2.6. How does the institute collect, analyse and use the data and information on the academic
performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students
from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners,
economically weaker sections etc.)?
The college collects data and information from respective departments on the academic
performance of the students who are at the risk of drop out from the college.
The mentors keep track of the performance of the students from the disadvantaged sections of the
society. However, irrespective of academic performance, students who are at the risk of drop out
are dissuaded from doing so and inform them of the facilities available like scholarships provided
by the Department of Social Welfare, Department of Minority affairs, Government of Karnataka
and Government of India. Processing of application for scholarships and student welfare funds is
done at the college level.
The measures adopted to improve the performance of the slow-learners during the year are
furnished below:
To cater to the slow learners, students are encouraged to meet teachers for any help and help
beyond curriculum.
To facilitate learning in slow learners, regular counseling is done and they are advised to attend
remedial classes.
Regular tests are conducted and students getting marks below 50%will be considered separately in
order to give them more attention.
Model questions are supplied to the weak students which help them to write answers properly.
The mentors motivate the slow learners to unleash their potential.
Mentors also help identify needy students and refer them to the counselling cell, which diagnoses
their problem and suggests psychological steps, especially in cases of acute stress, depression, low
self-esteem etc.
Considering the strength and weakness, the slow learners are given relevant support to the extent
possible. Group discussion is encouraged so that they may imbibe confidence. The institution does
not hesitate to extend financial support outside the limits of what is received from the government
keeping in mind that education for women enjoys critical importance at this juncture.
These progammes for slow learners have resulted in a marked increase in the pass percentage of
students in various progammes.
The college in association with the Directorate of Collegiate Education conducts special programs
to boost the analytical and communicative skills for undergraduate students. Commerce &
Management students are given corporate leadership training which boosts the confidence of the
students. At the end of the course the placement and career guidance cell organizes workshops on
curriculum vitae writing and mock interview.
The rate of drop out is very low.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 48 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
The college extends financial assistance for books and study materials to students who belong to
economically weaker section under ‘Earn - While - You - Learn scheme’.
Apart from this, expenditure incurred on account of field study is also met by most of the staff
members to help needy students. The college also encourages its students through endowment
prizes, some of which were instituted several years ago.
2.3 Teaching-learning process:
2.3.1. How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules
(academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print etc.)
Academic calendar:
At the beginning of the academic year the Principal convenes faculty meeting to draw a blue-print
of the programmes for that year. An Academic calendar in line with that of the university and blue
print of the college is prepared by the IQAC. The IQAC & Heads of the Departments together
decide dates for internal evaluation and co-curricular activities for each semester. The college
handbook incorporating these details is distributed free of cost to every student at the beginning of
the academic year.
Important dates in the calendar include:
1. Re–opening after summer vacation for IV & VI semesters
2. Commencing classes for fresh students
3. Schedule for the completion of syllabi
4. Schedule for the internal assessment examination
5. Schedule for parents-teachers meeting
6. Schedule of activities such as symposia, guest lectures, seminars, workshops, sports and
cultural activities
7. Last working day for each semester
Teaching Plan:
Preparation of the comprehensive teaching plan for the semester by individual teachers is
mandated. With regard to teaching plan, every teacher is assigned prescribed hours of theory and
practical classes. The teaching plan prepared and followed by the members of the faculty is
examined by the heads of the respective departments to ensure that the syllabus is completed by the
concerned faculty. It consists mainly of distribution of hours for each module. A brief synopsis for
each module is prepared so that every minute aspect of module receives due attention. Selection of
study material or materials for every part of module is prepared. Interpretations and criticisms of
each topic are decided for proper analysis to present topics in proper perspective.
Meetings are conducted periodically by the Principal and heads of departments to ascertain the
progress regarding assignments, tests, seminars or any other departmental activities.
The work-diaries of teachers are maintained by faculties. It includes the topics that were discussed
on any given day. Work-diary is periodically checked by the concerned head of the department to
confirm compliance with stipulations. This document is verified by the Principal periodically.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 49 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Teachers employ interactive approach. Apart from time-tested use of black board, the use of ICT
is gaining foot-hold rather rapidly. All undergraduate programmes include computer application.
Modern equipment required by the departments are listed and are procured without any loss of
time. Students have access to internet during working hours. This is truly a boon when they have
to prepare projects or seminars and educational fairs.
Students are required to submit assignment and projects in addition to participating in seminars
which are parts of internal assessment. It helps teachers to assess students.
Feedback from students is collected at the end of academic year which helps to improve further
teaching plan.
Teachers in general and teachers in charge of postgraduate programmes in particular follow
computer assisted teaching to make the classes more rewarding and comprehensive.
Academic Audit
The IQAC headed by the Principal conducts an Internal Academic Audit of each department at the
end of each semester to confirm compliance of resolutions.
Evaluation:
The institution is responsible only for internal assessment, since this college is affiliated to the
university. The institution is bound by the calendar of events prepared by the university with
respect to main examination. In this respect it has no role to play.
At the end of each semester students are assessed internally on the basis of attendance,
assignments, student seminars and internal examinations and marks are awarded accordingly.
Consolidated lists of marks awarded are submitted to the university. At the end of the semester, a
three hour examination is conducted by the university carrying 60 for disciplines with practical and
80 marks for disciplines without practical

Since all PG courses follow CBCS pattern, continuous evaluation of students by the course
teacher through various student-friendly, interactive initiatives are followed to ensure fair and
objective evaluation of students. The system followed is as follows:
C1 (for 15 marks) and C2 (for 15 marks) evaluation are done by the concerned course teacher
whereas C3 is the term end examination conducted by the university for 70 marks.

Components of continuous evaluation criteria are decided by the course teacher at the beginning
of the semester and communicated to the students in advance. This mechanism helps the teacher to
identify the slow learner as well as advanced learners.
2.3.2. How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching-learning process?
IQAC team takes several measures to improve the teaching-learning process.
Emphasis is on organising workshops, seminars, conferences, special lectures, etc. involving the

Collegiate Education like FEEL Teacher Programme, Teacher Empowerment Programmes etc.
The IQAC obtains annually feedback from the final year students. The outgoing students, on the
assurance of anonymity, assess the college, respective departments, faculty members, and
infrastructure in terms of library, laboratory and other facilities. Relevant action within the limits
of the institution has followed these feedbacks.
Frequent visit of IQAC to the departments to conduct academic audit is in vogue. During the
visits, the IQAC team records academic activities, details of students who participated in extra -
curricular activities, results of internal and university examinations etc.
It arranges parents- teachers and alumni meetings periodically to get feedback from them.
2.3.3 How learning is made more student-centric? Give details on the support structures and
systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative
learning and independent learning among the students?
Adaptation of novel methods of teaching has made learning student-centric. Novelty in the method
of teaching consists in responding to the learning abilities of students. In the classes where students
are of diverse learning abilities, special care is shown to average students.
The college offers several support services to teachers and students alike for making the learning
student-centric. Lecture is supported by audio-visual aids, seminars and assignments which demand
independent study on the part of students, projects - individual as well as group - on issues ranging
from their electives to environmental issues, human rights, visits to industries and research
institutes, group discussion, case study, debates and orientation classes.
Conferences /Seminars/Workshops/ special lectures by experts from reputed
institutes/organisations are organized on regular basis for the sake of students which give them
exposure to the recent trends in the discipline.
Smart board has been installed in PG Audio-Visual Hall so that they can be utilised during
academic programmes. Many departments use sophisticated software as part of the teaching-
learning process.

The collection of books and journals in the library caters to all the needs of the students. The
members of faculty use the library extensively to enrich their knowledge and, in turn, transmit the
same to the student community. Students are also encouraged to use the library. The college also
encourages the use of internet and computers by the staff and students to keep them abreast of the
latest developments in their respective fields of study. Mentoring for academic and emotional needs
is another critical aspect of student-centric approach.
Apart from well-equipped library, some departments maintain departmental libraries. Teachers
take the responsibility of issuing books to the students and ensure that they are returned within the
stipulated time.
The use of ICT also makes the learning process student-centric. Students are encouraged to make
power point presentations in seminars. They acquire required skills while preparing the power point
presentations.
Long and short excursions form a part of interactive learning. Excursions develop social
intelligence.
Extra-curricular activities like elocution, debate, quiz, essay writing, composing of poems, book-
reviews etc. are organised by students under the guidance of the faculty which help to build the
organising skills. Department of Commerce organised Commerce fest on 31st March 2015 to

frame. Completion of syllabus is reviewed by the heads of the departments every week and by the
Principal every month. Work - diary is maintained by all the teachers. When a teacher goes on
long leave, alternative arrangement will be made.
On a few occasions, institution faces challenges in completing the curriculum; election process,

2.4.6. Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external peers? If
‘yes’, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching learning process?
Students Feedback:
Feedback is obtained from outgoing students on the effectiveness of teaching, syllabus coverage,
by respective teachers. Students share their experiences and suggest ideas for the betterment of
teaching learning process. These observations are used by the Principal to encourage the faculty to
improve their quality of teaching. These details are shared with the members of faculty at the time
of academic audit by the principal and the IQAC. This will help the Principal and teachers to
identify the strength and weakness. Corrective measures promptly follow the findings.
Alumni Feedback:
The alumni meet is organized by the college. During the meet, the alumni share their experiences
and give constructive suggestions for the all-round development of the college.
Peer feedback
The head of the department organises departmental meeting with faculty and technical staff to take
relevant measures.
2.5 EVALUATION PROCESS AND REFORMS
2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and
faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?
At the time of admission the student is given the prospectus which highlights the importance and
the method of evaluation of teachers. After classes begin the principal and some senior members
of the faculty go to every class to appraise them of the importance and the method of evaluation of
teachers. Sufficient publicity is given through display on notice boards as well. The institution
tries to the best possible extent to reach out to every student on this issue. The details of the
evaluation methods are explained to the students during the orientation programme by the
Principal. It is also published in the college academic calendar. The faculty periodically interacts
with the students about the evaluation process.
Dates of internal assessment tests are printed in the academic calendar and are also displayed on
the notice board. Circulars are sent whenever necessary. The students come to know about
examination and patterns of questions through interaction with teachers. Parents are informed
about the status of their wards and evaluation methods during the parents – teachers meetings.
Assessment is also done through attendance, seminars, assignments and paper presentations. The
students are informed of all these details well in advance.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 65 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and
what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?
CBCS pattern was implemented by the university for PG programmes from 2010 onwards.
However, there has been no change in the process of evaluation for UG programmes. The last time
any perceptible change effected by the university was way back in 2004 when semester scheme
replaced annual scheme. However, special tests for slow learners are being arranged by the
college. This is a voluntary step initiated by the institution. Internal assessment is determined by
attendance and performance in tests, assignments and seminars. Answer papers of the tests are
made available to the students to maintain transparency. Steps are initiated to clarify their doubts
if any.
2.5.3. How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the
university and those initiated by the institution on its own?
This institution, being an affiliated one, has to comply mandatorily with the reforms as and when
the university introduces.
The institution is always in constant touch with the university administration to get information on
any change or changes in the scheme of evaluation. Meetings with Registrar (evaluation) help to
get information on evaluation procedure. The institution ensures compliance of reforms if any.
Further, the institution maintains regular contact through members of academic council, faculty
members who are appointed members of the Boards of Studies, Examination, etc.
Notifications are regularly displayed on the notice board of the college.
The college administration implements these reforms through the university examination
committee which consists of senior members of faculty. This committee ensures the smooth
running of the examination system within the frame work of guidelines and stipulations evolved
by the university. It also keeps track of all developments in the evaluation procedure.
According to rules framed by the university, a student must have attended at least 75% of total
number of classes to qualify for the final examination. This rule is common to both UG and PG
programmes. Students are informed of the status of their attendance at the end of every month.
The college has constituted an internal examination committee to ensure effective implementation
of the evaluation reforms initiated by the institution. Evaluation is transparent and records of
attendance, tests, assignments and seminars are maintained by the departments. Additional tests
are conducted for the benefit of those students who take part in extra-curricular programmes and
those who are unable to take the examination due to medical reasons. Also provision is made for
the students to take the tests again to improve the performance if they wish.
2.5.4. Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adapted to measure
student achievement. Cite new examples which have positively impacted the system.
The college adopts Formative and Summative evaluation approaches to measure student
achievement in a programme.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 66 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Formative evaluation: is through assignments, quiz, field trip reports, seminars, and practical
examination. Every student has to appear for the I. A. test. This can provide them with an effective
feedback on their understanding of the subject.
Summative evaluation: It is based upon term tests and public examination. PG students have to
undertake projects and review work as a part of their curriculum. Internal assessment is based
upon these two components. Students are evaluated at the end of every academic session by the
university.
Examples of positive impact:
We are proud to state that academic achievements of our students are quite impressive. The pass
percentage of students in all the programmes is considerably high compared with university
results. Majority of our students pass with first class and distinction where as the number of
students passing with third class is very low. Some have also own Gold medals from the
University.
Co-curricular:
Formative evaluation approaches
Talents search is conducted every year. Selected students are trained through work shops by the
college and the IQAC to make them competent so that they can represent the institution at higher
levels like inter-collegiate, university and state level competitions.
Summative evaluation approach
Trained students have participated in various competitions at district, state and national levels and
have won laurels to the college.
Examples of positive impact:
The details of prize winners is shown in 5.3.2
Extracurricular (Sports and NSS)
Formative evaluation approaches:
The students are motivated to take part in the selection trial which helps to judge their talent and
fitness.
Selected students undergo training throughout the year which enables them to take part in inter-
collegiate, university and state level tournaments. Care is taken to ensure that training schedule
and regular classes do not overlap. The institution provides nutritious food during the training
period.
Summative evaluation approach:
Selected students have participated at inter collegiate, university, district, state and national levels
and have won medals.
Examples of positive impact:
The medal tally is shown in the following table:

2.5.5 Details on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the
internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall
development of students (weightage for behavioural aspects, independent learning,
communication skill etc.
Teachers strictly adhere to the pattern of questions prescribed by the university and maintain
transparency in internal assessment. Ability to learn independently and communication skills of
students are assessed through their participation in seminars, projects and group discussions.
Rigor and transparency in the internal assessment is ensured in each department. The internal
assessments marks are given on the basis of the student’s attendance, and performance in
seminars, tests and assignments. The details of the marks scored by the students are maintained in
the department register which can be accessed by the student. The parents are informed of the
performance of their wards in parents – teachers meetings. Overall progress of student is assessed
in the following manner.
Total marks reserved for I.A. by the university: 20
a) Performance in tests: 10
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 89 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
b) Seminars (for communication skill) 07
c) Attendance 03
10 marks of IA is for the performance in tests, 7 marks of IA is for the performance of students in
assignments and 3 marks for attendance.
These reports do not imply that attendance of students takes back seat. What is self-evident does
not merit any special mention. If any student is not so regular, the same is brought to the notice of
the parents or guardians and strict measures are initiated to ensure that such students are brought
back on rails. Parent-teaching meetings are conducted and feedbacks from them are collected.

2.5.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university? How
does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?
All the activities are designed with the aim of developing a strong understanding of the
foundations of disciplines by the time they complete the programme.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 90 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Self-reliance and skills in communication, coordination, planning, management, academic writing,
and presentation are the graduate attributes which ought to develop among the students so that
they can undertake any career that demands these skills. This is achieved by the relentless efforts
of teachers. Social orientation is another attribute which is desired. Extension programmes have
achieved the same. All extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are designed to infuse these
graduate attributes in the students before they leave the college.
2.5.7. What are the mechanisms for redress of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the
college and university level?
The motto of the college is to maintain transparency. Hence at the college level, following steps
are followed to redress grievance regarding evaluation, if there is any. This is so with respect to
evaluation of internal assessment.
Answer scripts are shown to the students. The concerned teacher explains to the students the
mistakes made by them and also explains the technique of better performance. If the student is not
satisfied, she may approach the head of the department and or the Principal with their grievance.
Lastly, there is a Grievance Redress Cell in the college which may be approached. In that case, the
members of the cell and the Principal will jointly take a decision. Revaluation is not ruled out
though it is the last resort.
For Redress of grievances with reference to evaluation at the university level, following steps are
followed:
The students may apply for re-totaling or re-valuation of answer scripts in the prescribed format,
which will be duly forwarded by the authorities. Students can also approach the Registrar
(Evaluation). The scripts are re-valued at university level and the institution has no role to play in
this regard.
2.6. Student performance and learning outcomes
2.6.1. Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’ give details on how the
students and staff are made aware of these?

while finalising the learning outcomes considers remarks of all stakeholders which includes staff
and students. The main goals are explained during the orientation programs. The college
encourages students to develop attitudes of intellectual curiosity and motivation for independent
thinking and a commitment to ethical practices.

Following are the strategies which facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes.
Participation in Faculty Development Programme
Provision for the extensive use of teaching-learning aids like LCDs, Computer with internet
facility etc.
Mentor system to monitor the progress of students
Remedial classes for slow learners
Parents-Teachers meeting to share information about performance of the students
Internal Audit Cell to analyse the performance appraisal of students, Teachers and other
Support services
Well-equipped library
The college follows the guidelines provided by the University in teaching the prescribed
syllabus and adheres to the assessment pattern provided by the University of Mysore. Within this
framework, the individual teacher has the liberty to incorporate innovations to facilitate the
learning process.
Traditional teaching mode of lecture is supplemented by other teaching practices like audio visual
teaching aids, field visits, orientation visits, learning through workshops, exposure to real life
learning situations wherever possible etc. (NSS and community camps)
The institution encourages field visits, educational excursions, industrial visits and interaction
with experts through seminars and workshops, as the means to acquire knowledge, and develop
personality, and also the means to infuse the will to conserve nature and maintain social
orientation. Academic calendar and orientation programme are there only to lay the foundation for
further super structure.
The college promotes learning through assignments, projects, seminars, project works and
practical sessions. These steps help the students to acquire and develop the required skill to
collect, process and present relevant data, and also develop proficiency in communication, co-
ordination, planning, management and writing. All of the above mentioned activities accelerate the
process of learning.
The college distributes brochures containing information on higher education, Gandhian thoughts,
blood donation, and quotations of Vivekananda etc. to make them sensitive and morally strong.
Compulsory paper on Environmental Studies, following the University regulations, provides
information on nature and environment related issues. Co-curricular group activities like NSS,
Self Study Report 2015

Red Cross, Rangers, programmes by various fora and clubs, and cultural programmes help in self-
development, community service, national integration and accountability towards the society in
general.
2.6.4. What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social and
economic relevance (quality jobs, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude) of the
courses offered?
The college has clearly stated outcome of all the academic and co-curricular activities carried out
every year. In the academic realm, the students are trained to excel in their studies and perform
well in the university examinations and the results bear testimony to the efforts of institution in
this regard.
The institution believes in the holistic development of personality of students and belief is
translated into action which has eventually produced the desired result. It aspires to transform all
students (personal transformation) to a level where they would be able to practise core values and
contribute constructively to social transformation.
As the institution is committed to the integral development of learners it trains them and assesses
them on multipronged fronts during the course of their study here. An orientation to this effect is
given at the outset of the programme. Teachers in the introductory classes of all courses make
aware of social and economic relevance of the course.
The focus is on economic and social significance of higher education in general and the course in
particular. This is all the more important because every discipline is unique and the role played by
one discipline is essentially different from the one played by another. Information on job
opportunities and scope of further studies and research is another aspect dealt by teachers.
This is further reinforced manifold by organized and sustained efforts of the department of
Commerce & Management which focuses on employability and entrepreneurship.
The various parameters the students are expected to be consciously looking at and developing
include the following attributes.
Interest in academics
Learning Skills
Problem solving ability
Team work
Social sensitivity
Entrepreneurshi
Writing skill
Oratory skills
Departments organize field visits, seminars, invited lectures, issue based competition to get
exposure to the quagmire of issues. Students are encouraged to take up surveys and projects of
social and economic relevance.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 95 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Concern for social and community services is not relegated to the background. NSS, Red Cross,
Rangers wing highlight uneducated and not so well educated citizens on the evils of burning
problems like dowry, child marriage, addiction to alcohol etc.
The aim is to make people think when they do not think and help them to think rationally when
they do not or cannot think rationally. In other words, extension programmes aim at reformation in
the strict sense of the term - reformation of attitude - because the problem lies with attitude. The
institution does not believe in mere cosmetic changes but in change of life style and change for the
good, from good to better and from better to the best; an utopia which cannot be reached, but
moves in that direction.
At various levels the learning targets are fixed, communicated and evaluated.
Institutional Level
A host of programmes are organised in the college in which the students are expected to gain
specific outcomes. For example, participation in N.S.S. annual camp gives an opportunity to
understand the grass root realities of village life. Students give up voluntarily luxury and live with
minimum facilities in such programmes.
Another initiative of the college is the inception of Nature & Adventure club. This makes the
students sensitive to the ecological concerns. Thus all the co-curricular activities of the college
have their own specific intentions to change the students positively.
Departmental Level
At the beginning of the year, all departments prepare their teaching plan and share it with the
students.
The positive difference between entry and exit assessments reflects the holistic growth of the
learner.
The outcome of this evaluation process is assessed by the Staff Council and integrated into the planning
of the expected outcome for the next semester
Stakeholders’ Level
Alumni, parents and representatives of the community provide feedback which, in turn, is
reflected in the subsequent changes in the curriculum plan, training programmes, etc.
2.6.5. How does the institution collect and analyse data on student learning outcomes and use it for
planning and overcoming barriers of learning.
The college adapts a systematic procedure to collect and analyse data on learning outcomes. It
collects and monitors the achievement of learning system from:
• Attendance system
• Assignments
• Internal examination marks
• Laboratory work assessment
• Public examination marks
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 96 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Based on the participation in the class and performance in internal assessment examinations, the
student is assessed by the staff member and appropriate action is taken.
Planning of additional remedial classes if needed, providing special study material etc. follow
assessment.
Extra classes are arranged for slow learners to improve their performance.
The semester end result is an an indication of learning outcome. Results are compiled for each
department separately and is analysed. Detailed discussions are held to improve quality.
Appropriate steps are initiated to bridge the gap between the learning process and requirements of
students.
Informal interaction with students and one – to - one contact between students and teachers in the
class room and campus brings to notice of teachers the requirements of students. E.g. Students of
Kannada Medium were found to be lacking in spoken English and hence Spoken English classes
were organised.
2.6.6. How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes?
The institution monitors the performance through recording attendance regularly. Registers are
maintained and monitored by the department and scrutinised by the Principal periodically.
The mentors and the heads of the departments ensure the achievement of learning outcomes and
monitor them with care. Sometimes, the outcomes have fruitfully crossed the performance of
students. The college has produced outstanding executives, artists, sports persons by way of
raising responsible citizens.
Performance of students in the semester end examinations, participation in various activities
organized by the college, participation in events organized by other institutions, trophies and
prizes secured by students form the crux of monitoring their achievement. Prizes, sponsorship and
publication of their achievement in the college magazine and press notes ensure that the sports
persons get due encouragement.
2.6.7. Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes as an
indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and
planning? If ‘yes’ provide details on the process and cite a few examples.
In-depth result analysis of students is done every year by all the departments to evaluate their
academic performance. Their participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, in
addition to their performance in the examination is tracked by the respective mentors. This
assessment is the index of overall performance of student and helps the college to record the
learning outcomes. Learning outcome is the criterion to decide the ‘Best Outgoing Student’ award.
Any other relevant information regarding Teaching-Learning and Evaluation which the
college would like to include.
A transparent admission process.
Mobilization of resources and utilisation of the same for improved teaching-learning aids
Student - centric and student - friendly ambience

4.5% of women are self-employed, 40.5% of women work as labourers. 48.5% of women are
house wives and 6.5% work as service providers.

labourers. Literacy Drives were organized to improve the status of women. Vocational skills were
imparted to ensure self-employment during the camp. Also special training in skill-oriented
courses was organized with a view to empower women.

the institution, comment on how they complement students’ academic learning experience
and specify the values and skills inculcated.
One of the objectives of the institute is to inculcate values. Through the outreach programmes the
students have been successfully sensitized on issues like the plight of economically backward
community which is susceptible to distress serious diseases, etc. Constitutional awareness,
patriotism and other social activities like blood donation and environmental awareness are other
objectives. The college encourages extension activities to promote social justice, social
responsibilities and good citizenship among students.
The extension activities strengthen their social commitment. The first important aspect is that
students learn to think beyond themselves. They have an urge to do something productive for
others in the society. The students get wonderful opportunity to apply classroom learning in life.
Teamwork, leadership skills, time management, effective communication skills, effective decision
making are just a few things students learn while participating in and organising various projects
and programmes.
The students get wonderful opportunity to mingle with each other and learn about culture,
tradition and values. For instance, students participate in community programmes to promote civic
responsibility. By working together with other individuals, students learn to negotiate,
communicate, manage conflict, and lead others.
Participation in these out-of-the-classroom activities helps students to understand the importance
of skill and time management. They mature socially and gain self-confidence. Thus the students
are able to reach new milestones.

facilitate effective teaching and learning?
The policy of the college on infrastructure states, ‘the institution ensures adequate facilities for
teaching-learning; augments its infrastructural facilities according to the growing need of the
students and endeavours to upgrade its technological support to create a positive academic
atmosphere.’ In conformity with this policy, the institution provides necessary facilities for
laboratories such as furniture, fixtures, equipment, etc. All class rooms are well-ventilated and
furnished with ergonomically designed furniture.
The college, in tune with the changing needs, does its best to create and enhance infrastructure by
bringing the requirement to the notice of the Commissioner for Collegiate Education, and local
MLA who is also the Chairman of the College Development Committee. The college receives
developmental and other grants from the Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) as well as the
UGC from time to time. The Principal calls for the council meeting and discusses the allocation
for the optimum utilisation of funds and the same is implemented.

teaching aids are being used in a few class rooms to familiarise students with the use of ICT. A
full-fledged Network Resource Center with computers and internet facility has been established.

collegiate education which includes lectures delivered by subject experts.
The faculty members utilise the laboratories equipped with the state – of – the - art equipment to
carry out research work and minor research projects funded by the UGC and other funding
agencies.
Library
The library has a rich collection of about 57,000 books and journals. New books are added to
library annually with the help of the grants released by the DCE and the UGC. Some of the
departments have their own departmental libraries too.

promptly responded by sanctioning grant to the tune of Rs. 7,000,000 (Rs.Seven million) of which
Rs.3,500,000 (Rs. Three million five hundred thousand) has already been released.
Auditorium
Vanaranga (an open air auditorium) is unique in its own right. The auditorium is not a concrete
monster. Enveloped by thick green it is a manifestation of the ethos of Mother Nature. It can
accommodate about 2000 students. It is the centre of cultural activities like the art of Public
speaking, communication skills, dance, drama,yoga, health, hygiene etc. Well - maintained and
landscaped gardens abutting the Vanaranga add to serenity.
National Service Scheme (N.S.S.)
There are two N.S.S. units guided by two N.S.S. Programme officers building up the spirit of
social service – YOU BEFORE I. It plays a vital role in personality development and in
spearheading the spirit of social work. Induction of desire to participate in nation building and
inculcation of social responsibilities is the motto of the unit. The students, therefore, are motivated
to participate actively in the programmes organised by the N.S.S. units in villages. Health check -
up camps and seminars on health problems especially related to the problems of women are
organised by the N.S.S. units every year. N.S.S. activities also include blood donation camp,
health awareness programmes, annual camps etc.
N.S.S. wing of this institution was adjudged as the best N.S.S. unit at National, State and
University levels and Sri K.B. Narayana as best N.S.S. Programming officer at the above
mentioned levels. It is a matter of great pride to place on record the recognition of the performance
of the unit by none other than the Hon’ble President of the nation.
NCC: The College is interested in starting NCC unit and hence a proposal has been submitted to
the authorities.
Health and Hygiene
The college has separate health center having a bed and first aid kit with medicines to deal with
emergency situation. There are adequate number of well-maintained toilets and rest rooms. This is
a girls’ college with strength of around 2800. Majority of students hail from surrounding villages
and spend almost whole day in the college. Hence the disposal of sanitary napkins has become a
serious problem. In order to mitigate this problem, the institution has requested the authorities of
the City Municipality to install an incinerator in the campus to burn pads. This facility is in the
pipe line.
Folk Carnival
Janapada Jathre (Folk Carnival) - the most colourful event - is celebrated every year to relive the
past; experience the glory of rich cultural heritage and take a break from monotony of modern
world. This is, surely, a peep into the past. This particular programme has won accolades right
from the students to the Director of Collegiate Education. Dooradarshan Kendra, Bengaluru,
documented the programme this year.
Public speaking, communication skills development
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 143 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
There is a language laboratory with O’rell language software. Communicative competence is
nurtured and communicative performance is measured with the help of this facility. The students
are taught the nuance of Spoken English and communication skills. The audio-visual room is used
to watch the online programmes which are telecast by the Department of Collegiate Education.
Students exploit umpteen opportunities to pick up the art of public speaking. They organise
programmes and participate in competitions to develop the skill of team work.
Department of Collegiate Education organises Naipunya Nidhi programmes (on communication
skills) for the first degree students; social skills for the second degree students and job skills
through STAR programme by National Skill Development Corporation of India for the final
degree students.
4.1.3 How does the institution plan and ensure that the available infrastructure is in line with its
academic growth and is optimally utilized? Give specific examples of the facilities
developed/augmented and the amount spent during the last four years (Enclose the Master
Plan of the Institution/campus and indicate the existing physical infrastructure and the
future planned expansions if any).
The infrastructure facilities are optimised in all possible ways. The library is best used by the
students. They are allowed not only to borrow the books but also use reference section during
working hours. Journals and encyclopaedias are always available in reference section. Network
facility enables students either to down load study materials which are not available in the library
or to open for the purpose of study when download is not permissible. Libraries maintained by the
departments, though small, add up to further learning. State – of – the – art technology has helped
teachers to switch to power point presentation resulting in the economisation of time which is
critical in the process of learning. N.S.S. and sports have contributed to complete development of
personality. Members of faculty endowed with special talents guide students in achieving new
heights in cultural programmes or competitions. Green House, Butterfly Park, rain water
percolation pit, solar panels etc. enable the students to realise the significance of conservation of
water and energy. Canteen provides low priced, but healthy food. Water filters installed provide
potable water throughout working hours. Thick green cover helps the students to relax and recoup
themselves for the rest of the day.
In addition to Class rooms the audio visual rooms are utilized for holding classes and
examinations apart from using for special lectures, seminars and workshops.
Library is kept open during examination days also in addition to working days.
Government and Non-Government examinations are held in the College on holidays and Sundays.
All science departments have well equipped laboratories, supplemented with LCD projectors and
computers which are used by the students and faculty for research and project work.
Specific examples of the facilities developed/augmented and the amount spent during the last
four years:

Students access the learning resources both online and in the library. They have the urge to
become independent learners. The students, during the course of their academic programme, also
learn to become competent in using the ICT in their presentations, interactions and seminars.
Faculty members use technology for updating their teaching methods such as use of video, info
graphics etc.
Practical classes are made student - centric learning places. Use of simulation software by faculty
of several departments is common. Use of virtual laboratories is on the increase.
The role of teacher is to introduce the problem and then guide the students so that teaching and
learning become more student-centric. This is what exactly the teacher does to the best of his or
her ability.

Suggestion box is also installed for those who wish to remain anonymous. The box is opened
frequently, complaints are registered and proper remedial measures are taken by the Principal and
concerned staff members.
The Student Welfare Officer is available to record and redress all the problems of the students.
The major grievance is attendance related issues which is placed before Attendance Committee for
necessary action.
Generally, students complained about the toilets and class rooms being dirty. A team of staff
members visits the toilets and class rooms. Necessary action is initiated. As a follow up measure,
the College Development Council appointed helpers for the upkeep of the campus in general and
class rooms and toilets in particular.
Another major complaint of the students was about quality of food in the college canteen. It
resulted in change of contract.
Increase in the number of bicycles and two wheelers necessitated replacement of smaller parking
bay by a bigger one.
Around 2800 students spend almost entire day in the premises. Hence the disposal of sanitary
napkins is a very big problem. As a corrective measure, we have approached the authorities of
Municipality to install an incinerator in the campus to burn pads. We are hopeful of getting one
soon.
5.1.11 What are the institutional provisions for resolving issues pertaining to sexual harassment?
The institution adapts the policy of ZERO tolerance towards sexual harassment. The students are

Supreme Court and the state government. It comprises of a senior lady teacher as convener.
Among its members are two senior lady teachers, one lady staff member, one female official from
the Police department, one lady D group member and a female social activist. Incidentally, she
happens to be our alumnus.
Our college regularly organises special talks on atrocities against women, gender sensitisation,
women empowerment, film shows on gender issues and interactive sessions with social activists
under the aegis of ‘Jnana siri’ a weekly enrichment programme of the college.We are happy and
proud to announce that we have not come across any such complaints till now.

students of the college are made aware of the ragging related rules and regulations by the Principal
herself.

5.2 STUDENT PROGRESSION
5.2.1 Providing the percentage of students progressing to higher education or employment (for the
last four batches) highlight the trends observed.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 179 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
The data are approximate, as they are based on the information available and do not include all the
students.
The college has not maintained any data on students who continue their P.G. programmes or those
who take up employment. However, information is gathered in an informal way i.e., on the basis
issuance of Transfer certificate to the students. It indicates that on an average of 50% of the
Science students, 25% of Arts students, 30% of Commerce and Management students join PG
programme or B.Ed. programme. 25% of students take up jobs.
Proportionate to the increase in strength of students year by year, the number of students pursuing
higher education is also increasing. This is a healthy trend towards building a healthy society as
this is a girls’ college situated in the rural milieu. The number of girls pursuing jobs in private and
in public sector is also growing steadily.

Self Study Report 2015
Page | 182 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Students passed with distinction and first class in almost all streams in the university examinations
in a good number. The average pass percentage of the institution exceeds the average pass
percentage of the university. For instance, in 2013-14, students of M. A. in History have written
history in golden letters by bagging all of the seven gold medals instituted by the university. We
are proud to say that the very first batch of students of M A history has created a sterling record.
They have taken the reputation of the institution to great heights.
5.2.3 How does the institution facilitate student progression to higher level of education and/or
towards employment?
The institution has organised various skill development programmes and also personality
development programmes to help students to pursue higher education and also to secure jobs.
In this respect the Career Guidance Cell is active.
The opportunities for students are created in such a way that by the time they leave this
institution they will be fully confident and equipped in every sense of the world to face the
challenges of life.
Counseling, motivation and preparing the students to pursue higher education is a regular
feature.
For instance, the department of English has conducted coaching classes for the students seeking
admission to M. A. in English and their efforts bore fruit as twelve of their students joined M.
A. in English which is commendable because the students in this region, generally, find English
to be a tough subject to pursue further.
Most of the departments help students in getting information on admission to PG and B.Ed.
programmes and guide them on matters related to entrance examinations too.
Departments do their best to boost confidence in students by organising competitions
exclusively for them. For instance, the department of Zoology organises elocution at state level
wherein the students of Life Science are given priority.
Teachers are so keen in helping the students to pursue higher studies that those who pursue
higher studies frequently approach us for guidance and help to get reference books. Teachers
also help them financially to enable them to complete the course without any difficulty.
The career and counseling cell is set up in order to lend a healthy hand to the students so that
they can cope better with the demands and pressures of increasingly competitive surroundings
and prepare them for their career. The cell accompanies final year students to colleges where
campus selections are held.
Endowment scholarships are made available to the students to motivate them to pursue higher
studies. The main thrust of our institution is to equip students with the best in academics.

5.2.4 Enumerate the special support provided to students who are at risk of failure and drop out?
The institution considers such cases with genuine concern. Suppose the reason for discontinuing
their studies is financial, the staff members are always ready to help them and to prevent them
from discontinuing by meeting their needs.
If the reason for discontinuation is rooted in domestic problems, the mentors meet the parents and
try to sort out the problem. If they are married, then their spouses are and counseled in order to
remove misgivings. The institution does not interfere only when they are employed. Students,
thus, receive support and encouragement from all quarters to complete their course.

5.3.3 How does the college seek and use data and feedback from its students and employees to
improve the performance and quality of the institutional provisions.
IQAC collects the feedback from final year students on the performance of their teachers and
institutional provisions annually. This is later analysed by the Principal based on which suitable
measures are taken.
The parents- teachers meeting sessions are mostly interactive in nature, where teachers and the
Principal will answer all their queries immediately. Our institution is always open for suggestions
given by parents and hence feedback from a definite format is provided.
We value suggestions of our alumni the most. So the meeting of alumni is held annually and
feedback from them is collected.
The institution collects all these data and utilises it to bring about improvement in performance
and quality.
5.3.4 How does the college involve and encourage students to publish materials like catalogues,
wall magazines, college magazines and other materials. List the materials brought out by the
students during the previous four academic sessions.
The college runs a wall magazine SRIJANA SIRI which is published once in a fortnight. This
provides an opportunity for students to publish articles and poems, which hone their writing skills.
We also have another form of display called ‘Kala siri’ which showcases the creative
talent in the form of handicrafts, drawing and paintings.
The department of Journalism and Communication brings out a wall magazine by
name “Madhyama siri” which pave the way for students to improve their writing skill.
To Cap it all we publish ‘Nelada siri’ comprising of articles and poems written by
students.
The magazine has won prizes for two consecutive years from our university. In the
year 2012-13 the magazine secured third prize and it has stood first in the year 2013-
14.
The display of posters, paintings and drawings of students is a regular feature.
The college also has to its credit the publication of an in-house academic journal
‘Chintana lekha’.
5.3.5 Does the College have a Student Council or any similar body? Give details on its selection,
constitution, activities and funding.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 200 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
There is a formal Students cultural association which is formed in a democratic manner. Elections
are held on the lines of general election. Prior to the holding of election, all formalities are
observed so that the students become familiar with electoral process. A notification is issued well
in advance. Teachers, students and non-teaching staff of the college are informed about the
election schedule.
The date and the time for the filing of nominations, the names of the posts for which nominations
are to be filed last date for filing of nominations and date and time for the withdrawal of
nominations are specified in the notification. The election is governed by norms of general
election.
Cultural association is a wing of the union of students. It is the pivot of all programmes, whether
extra-curricular or co-curricular, conducted in the college and it is managed by the students
themselves under the guidance of teachers. Most of the financial requirements of the union are met
by collecting Union fees from students at the time of admission.
The spectrum of activities is too wide to believe.
Celebration of National and State festivals such as Independence day, Republic day, Kannada
Rajyotsava, other prominent days such as Teachers day, Women’s day, etc, Talents Search,
Cultural Competitions; in-house Sports Competition; Inaugural day of the Association, Annual
Sports day and closing in ceremony.
The union has a definite role in all social and community service related activities, health camp,
blood donation camp and cultural activities organised by the N.S.S., etc.
It maintains an atmosphere of fraternity and promotes an academic environment in the
campus.
It brings the grievances of the students to the notice of the authorities.
It is a link between administration and students.
It maintains discipline among students and cleanliness in the institution.
5.3.6 Give details of various academic and administrative bodies that have student representatives
on them.
The following academic and administrative bodies have representatives of students:
Governing Body [Member]
IQAC [Member]
Anti -Ragging Committee[Member]
Annual Prize Distribution Committee
College Development Fund
5.3.7 How does the institution network and collaborate with the Alumni and former faculty of the
Institution.
Some staff members are also members of Alumni association. Hence networking of
alumni is quite rewarding. IQAC periodically organises alumni meetings, which is a
platform provided by the college to the members of the association to discuss their role
in the functioning of the institution. Some outcomes of one such meeting are ‘alumni
fair’, installation of water filter of 200 liter capacity, and financial contribution for the
construction of a room in the library.

faculties. Sri M. R. Nandan retired as an Associate Professor of Philosophy on 31st

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership
6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on how the mission statement
defines the institution’s distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the
society, the students it seeks to serve, institution’s traditions and value orientations, vision
for the future, etc.?
Vision:
“Excellence and commitment”
The institution aspires to bring about transformational impact upon students which is possible only
through quality education and desires to inculcate in the younger generation competence,
confidence, excellence and commitment. Against this backdrop, the institution has created a
platform to provide meaningful education..
Mission:
Our mission is to enable all students to become socially responsive, productive and useful citizens
besides acquiring the prescribed competencies and values so as to achieve excellence.
The vision and mission reflect the objectives of the national policy on higher education, i.e. mould
human resources to meet contemporary challenges. It has shouldered, with zeal, the responsibility
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 203 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
of making the nation’s dream come true. It endeavours to promote excellent human beings and
create ideal citizens who work locally but think globally. The college is committed to build
character, kindle uprightness and infuse the spirit of self-reliance in the youth. In principle and
practice, the policy is to take students beyond book learning and nurture in them a healthy
personality defined by integrity and discipline. The young women need to be empowered by
education so that they emerge as responsible citizens with respect for human values and social
concern. The college has created an ideal platform for girls to receive education characterised by
quality and values for exploring their potential and to empower themselves with positive attitude
and competitive spirit so that the girl is capable of making her life, as well as others’, successful
and fruitful.
The college caters to the academic aspirations of students who belong to all classes, sections and
regions. Nevertheless, being an institution run by the state exclusively for girls, it proritises higher
education for girls who have their roots in an intersection of rural segment on the one hand and
economically and socially under privileged segment of the society on the other. Therefore
affordability is taken into cognizance.
The college has always aimed at raising curiosity among learners and further, the college has
embarked upon the most desirable venture:
Help students discover their natural potential
Sensitise on Social concerns
Enlighten on Environmental issues
Educate on Human Rights
Teach the importance of Peaceful co-existence
The college is built and stands on the core values of nationalism, dedication, commitment to social
cause, integrity and altruistic thinking and conduct; the Pancha Ratnas which have conditioned
the academic and administrative matters of the college. These values are explicitly reflected in the
ethos of the college in its quest for excellence, student-centric approach, women-centric practices,
social outreach, and promotion of use of technology if and only if it serves the society; the
Gandhian model. The supportive administration facilitates its faculty members in acquiring
knowledge of the latest trends in relevant disciplines which improves teaching. It ensures that the
teacher is a continuous learner, who, in turn, motivates students to become lifelong learners
through enrichment programmes with focus on enhancing his or her own competence on the one
hand and students on the other.
The curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular programmes are focused to prepare disciplined
and dedicated human beings capable enough to address the needs of society.
6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and implementation
of its quality policy and plans?
The Hon’ble Minister for Higher education, the Department of Higher Education and the
Commissionerate of Collegiate Education form the triumvirate of the college management. All
parameters governing higher education in Karnataka bind the functioning of the college. Ever
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 204 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
since its inception in the year 1960 (then Directorate), the Commissionerate of Collegiate
Education is striving to make higher education, defined by quality, affordable and accessible to all
students. With a genuine concern for the overall development of students, the department has
evinced keen interest in the welfare of students who belong to the most backward communities on
the one hand and rural students on the other. This concern manifests itself in the programmes
which are designed to bring those students, who are deprived of access to tertiary education, to the
mainstream. The Commissionerate of Collegiate Education, the Principal and faculty, work in
tandem to formulate the policy and plans for assurance and sustenance of qualitatively dense
higher education and then translate the same into action.
However, the role of the Principal of a college is quite complex and multi-dimensional in nature.
The Principal is the academic and administrative head of the institution; is at the helm of affairs
and enjoys administrative autonomy. As a result, more often than not, he or she has to function as
a sort of liaison officer between the government and employees on the one hand and stakeholders
and employees on the other. The Principal is, quite often, the motivator and counselor. Therefore
one-upmanship is a distant dream. Against this background, the role of committees must be
understood and appreciated. The Principal receives assistance from several committees constituted
with the singular purpose of smooth running of the college in all respects. These committees
function within the limits of the norms laid down by the university and the government. The
Principal is also responsible for all correspondences with the Commissionerate, the government,
University Grants Commission, University of Mysore and different stakeholders of the college.
The day-to-day management of the college is vested in the Principal, staff council and IQAC of the
college. The Principal prepares and places before the council the agenda which includes academic
and administrative matters requiring the approval of staff council. During staff council meetings, a
thorough discussion ensues, valuable suggestions are offered and resolutions are recorded and
documented for implementation aiming at the development of the college. Actions initiated based
on recommendations of the previous meetings and resulting progress are also reviewed. The Head
of the institution communicates the policy decisions to the faculty in the staff meetings. The
college follows the policy of inclusive participation to ensure inclusive growth. The administrative
staff, therefore, is also entrusted with responsibilities and taken into confidence.
The Principal reflects total involvement in influencing and inspiring the teaching faculty and
students to contribute together for making teaching-learning a refreshing and rewarding exercise.
The Principal makes an academic audit at various levels such as the council, general staff,
departments, class representatives and the mentors. This helps in getting the first-hand information
regarding the teaching-learning process. The IQAC oversees all these activities.
The college has constituted different committees with teachers and members of the non-teaching
staff as members. These committees play a very important role in planning and implementation of
activities in different spheres of institutional functioning. The Principal receives reports from
committees, which offer advice to her in matters defined in terms of reference of their functions.
The interaction of the Principal at personal level with stakeholders, faculty, non-teaching staff,
play a decisive role in all respects.
The Principal is the pivot of various committees which design curricular, extra-curricular and co-
curricular activities. These activities vary from year to year. The purpose is to discover the best

method to promote quality in the process of learning; sort of trial-and-error method. Intuition and
experience guide the principal and faculty members to evolve such programmes. One such
programme is ‘Jnanasiri’ which is a weekly one.
The quality aspect is taken care of by the IQAC which is the policy maker and this is based on the
experience accumulated over the years. The implementation of the policy is followed up by the
IQAC through the action plans made by its core committee in consultation with external members.
The core of IQAC consisting of faculty members adheres to the calendar of events designed by the
IQAC.
6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring:
The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated mission.
Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into
the collegial strategic plan.
Interaction with stakeholders.
Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs and
consultations with the stakeholders.
Reinforcing the culture of excellence.
Champion organizational change.
The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated mission.
The Commissionerate of Collegiate Education extends enlightened support and guidance to the
Principal, who, in turn, leads the college for the fulfillment of the stated mission. The institution,
as a matter of tradition, practises the policy of decentralization of power and democratisation of
responsibilities, providing an opportunity to all the members of the staff to function under various
committees. Teaching and non- teaching staff have their representatives in the Governing Body,
which is the highest decision making body of the institute.
Feedback is facilitated by the IQAC every year with respect to all faculty members. They are, in
turn, assessed by the Principal. The faculty members, whose performance is below the desired
level, are counseled by the Principal. Continuous improvement in the academic process is ensured
through participation in seminars and conferences at national and international level. The Principal
constantly deputes faculty members for seminars /conferences at state/national/international level
to enable them to expand their knowledge base and get exposure to the recent trends in their
respective discipline.
The Principal communicates from time to time all directions (instructions) received from the
government and ensures that the faculty members comply with the same. The IQAC lends a
supporting hand to the Principal on this issue.
Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into the
institutional strategic plan
The action plans are conceived after receiving inputs from the members of the staff. The IQAC
takes up the initial step of designing the calendar of academic activities before the beginning of
the academic year itself. An action plan is designed by the IQAC under the guidance of the
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 206 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Principal. Salient features of action plan are examined to ensure conformity with the strategic
plans. The primary motive is to encourage the spirit of participation and extend the horizon of
learning. Plans, related to administration and action, are executed through different committees
and the Principal periodically reviews these activities. The office bearers are given sufficient space
to organise the programmes.
Interaction with stakeholders
The Principal and the faculty interact regularly with stakeholders on a normal day-to-day basis and
in specific instances, when there is a need, is done by the principal alone. Their suggestions are
solicited for better and effective functioning of the institution. Mentor system is in practice. A
sound mechanism in maintaining harmony in the institution and resolving difficulties / grievances
at all levels through interactions is ensured.
Interaction with Students:
Interaction with the student body is initiated by Student Advisory Council in association with
Students’ Union to orient and bring the student body within the purview of the ethos and make
them feel that they constitute the integral segments of the institution. All students freely approach
the Principal on matters related to their academic life. Opportunities are provided to students to
put forth their needs and also suggestions for the development of the college.
Interaction with Alumni: Periodical meetings with alumni provide an opportunity for the old
students to feel that they are the part and parcel of the institution. Consequently, they continue to
contribute to the overall development of the institution in their position as lifetime members of the
Alumni; and they are active members.
Interaction with Teaching and Non-teaching Staff: The college considers its faculty and the
support staff strong pillars. Controversies and disputes cannot be ruled out and they may neither
be resolved nor dissolved without the interference of a third person. In such instances the Principal
takes the initiative and intervenes to settle the dispute amicably. Dissolving misgivings is one step
towards achieving unity. Team work, which is writ large on the campus, is the result of
constructive and purposeful interaction; a way of functioning of the college.
Interaction with Society:
The Principal values the opinion of the public and puts specific efforts to reach out to the public
and interact with the public whenever possible. Press is involved in all the major activities of the
college to publicise any significant achievement made by the institution. Nominee of elected
representative (MLA) is placed on ‘College Development Committee’. Extension programmes are
organised, rather extensively, through N.S.S. and other fora.
Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs and
consultations with the stakeholders
Principal receives reports and suggestions from various committees including IQAC. These are
discussed at appropriate level and action is initiated for further improvement.
Reinforcing the culture of excellence
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 207 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Participatory leadership is ensured at every level to promote the culture of excellence. A fair
representation to all the departments is kept in mind while constituting committees. His or her
station and duties as a member of a committee or committees open up the path to participatory
leadership. The college encourages and motivates quality and excellence in umpteen ways;
academic, co-curricular and extracurricular activities; a veritable triangle of excellence.
Faculty members are encouraged to attend refresher courses, workshops, training programmes,
conferences, symposia and seminars apart from availing of Faculty Development Programmes
(FDP) so that they can keep themselves abreast of recent trends in their specialized area of interest
with respect to teaching, learning and evaluation thereby reinforcing a culture of excellence.
Teachers with or without Ph. D. undertake minor or major research projects as the case may be.
Several teachers are pursuing their Ph.D. programmes without prejudice to their statutory work
though they have not availed of fellowship. Teachers coordinate among themselves to maintain
academic ambience in the institution. Generally, this is an intra-departmental programme.
Occasionally, inter-departmental meetings are also held to ensure that there is no clash of schedule
or interest. Wherever possible, they try to use internet/other media, teaching aids etc. in their class
room lectures. In this connection, trainings, workshops, conferences and guidance of experts and
required infrastructure facilities are made available.
Champion organizational change
The institution has evolved, over the years, certain perspective of plan based on periodic reviews
and feedback from all its stakeholders. This has immensely helped in reinforcing the culture of
excellence and championing organisational changes. Some hall marks are outlined below.

These measures help the college to promote the culture of excellence and address the needs of
students through organisational interventions.
6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and evaluate policies and
plans of the institution for effective implementation and improvement from time to time?
The college has a clear and well-defined system to monitor and evaluate the efficacy of the
implementation of the policies and plans of the institution. The Principal with the help of the
IQAC receives feedback on all aspects of the college from different stake-holders and takes the
help of different committees to analyse the feedback. Periodic reports are sent to the Head Office
for perusal of the members of the management, i.e., the Commissioner, Director and Joint Director
of Collegiate Education.
The Principal with the help of the staff council reviews the activities of committees and initiates
interventions. The heads of the departments develop proper rapport with the students and other

map of the faculty and is able to identify rightly their individual strengths, areas of interest and
accordingly assigns responsibilities. The Commissioner is in constant touch with the Head of the
institution through Director and delegates powers to the Principal for the smooth functioning. The
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 212 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
heads of the departments meet frequently under the leadership of the Principal to discuss the
problems and issues pertaining to development, administration, infrastructural needs and
discipline among students.
The Principal interacts with the faculty members and takes cognizance of their professional
requirement. The Principal coordinates with the government to obtain approval for the faculty
members in organising seminars, workshops, exhibitions, industrial visits, study tours etc. The
Principal delegates power and distributes responsibilities to the heads of the departments and
committees which help in enriching leadership quality.
6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?
The Principal plays the role of mentor, coordinator and motivator. She identifies the potential of
every staff member and encourages them to be focused and excel in their role. The staff members
receive due appreciation in the meetings for good work. This has certainly contributed to the
prevalence of harmony in the institution.
Whenever there is dire need, attempts are made to convince instead of coercing the work force
because academic volunteerism yields far better results. This is not to say that freedom of
expression is not given due recognition; far from it. The need to convince arises only when there is
dissent. This is all the more important because leadership springs from freedom of expression and
thought. Therefore the Principal respects freedom of expression and assignment of duties follows
persuasion. One way of grooming leadership is bestowing trust. Another is restricted non-
interference. Hence there is no way an employee can mistake freedom for license. Nor does he
work under duress. The undercurrent is; the best governance is the least governance; a
reminiscence of Platonic ideal. Hence contribution from every quarter is noteworthy and certain.
The decisions are analysed and discussed at various levels. Proper implementation of the
institutional policies and programmes is achieved through mutual understanding and appreciation.
This is another phase of grooming leadership. Activities at the level of departments are
coordinated by respective heads of the departments according to the directions and instructions
received from the Principal. Faculty members are entrusted with the responsibility to supervise
activities of different committees.
Opportunities are provided for the staff to engage in research work which is necessary to achieve
professional growth. In addition to research – oriented programmes, faculties are also deputed to
undergo other training programmes, such as Faculty Empowerment Programme, training at
Administrative Training Institute and other Human Resources Development Programmes, so that
they develop leadership skills.
The members of administrative wing are also deputed to undergo required and requisite training
programmes which help them to acquire leadership skills.
Student Leadership:
The leadership skills of students also get enriched as they have to play the role of student
coordinators in all the programmes of the college. Several committees comprising of students are
constituted every year for proper coordination, communication and to develop leadership skills
among students and the committees are monitored by faculties as secretaries.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 213 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
The students’ union consists of students from all streams, to represent the student body. Class
representatives are elected to monitor the classroom activities and address the grievances of the
students by bringing the same to the notice of Students’ Counseling Cell, or Grievance Redress
Cell or the Principal.
6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational autonomy to the departments of the
institution and work towards decentralized governance system?
The college is sensitised to the latest managerial concepts like strategic planning, team work,
decision-making and computerisation. Delegation of authority is practised internally through
decentralised governing system. Departments and committees enjoy operational autonomy so that
excellence in growth, through the plurality of programmes, becomes a reality.
Each department decides the strategies, methodologies and distribution of time to transact the
curriculum prescribed by the university. They also recommend periodically acquisition of the
latest books, periodicals, equipment etc. All teachers are assured of academic autonomy in
teaching. Teachers constitute a cohesive team under the leadership of the head of the department
and share academic work at times of emergency. Major readjustments are facilitated as and when
required.

The administration is decentralised while ultimate control is vested in the Principal. Committees
plan and monitor the functioning of different departments. They are free to introduce any healthy
programme which is conductive to the upward growth of academic graph. In this onerous task the
Principal is not left high and dry. The heads of the departments and members of committees
participate in decision-making process which creates an environment of participatory democracy.
6.1.8 How does the college promote a culture of participative management? If ‘yes’, indicate the
levels of participative management.
The institution believes in the democratic style of functioning and the culture of participative
management is promoted at all levels. Ideas and viewpoints on institutional objectives, goals, and
other decisions that may directly affect students and staff are earnestly solicited from them. Staff
council constituted by the heads of the departments and the Principal meets regularly and
discusses issues pertaining to the effective management of academic as well as administrative
matters. They use this opportunity to plan the yearlong programmes.
Heads of the departments take care of coordination within the departments and monitor the work
plan, attendance of students, performance of students in internal assessment tests and other
activities of the department. Oral feedback from students is also obtained whenever required.
The Principal involves teaching and non-teaching staff in planning, decision-making,
implementation and evaluation of the decisions irrespective of service one has rendered. All
opinions are duly considered and pros and cons are weighed. Dissent voice receives due
recognition and the end is the sole criterion to accept or to reject the decision. As an extension of
participatory management, representatives of students, alumni and parents are involved in the
functioning of all bodies of the college. Hence inclusive participation of all sections of
stakeholders is protected.
College Development Council (CDC) is headed by the Member of Legislative Assembly, with the
Principal as the member-secretary, two senior teachers, a student representative and a few
nominated persons from different walks of life as members. This has a decisive role to play since
it is the key to open up any infrastructural projects independent of the nod from the government.
The innovative ideas, opinions and suggestions from the faculty members, staff and students are
appreciated and incorporated in the decision - making process.
6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment
6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is it developed, driven,
deployed and reviewed?
The quality policy of the institution is reflected in the mission. A holistic development of
personality is the end of the educational programme of this institution.
IQAC, heads of the departments, coordinators of extension services and committees prepare
quality-oriented plan for the academic year. The same is discussed with the Principal.
If necessary, required modifications are carried out and implemented. Review is always based
upon pragmatic considerations.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 216 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.

system, conferences, seminars, workshops, competition, and programmes for creating awareness
among public.

students ensures transparency in the process.
Policies for Periodic Review of Administrative and Academic Departments: To ensure that
quality is sustained in all areas related to the functioning of an institute of higher learning, the
college reviews periodically its administrative and academic wings.
The IQAC meetings are conducted periodically which paves the way for a comprehensive review
of the performance of students. Availability or non-availability of infrastructure is another issue
which merits the attention of IQAC.
6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective implementation of the Quality
assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, give details enumerating its impact.
On behalf of the institution, sister institutions run by the government like Administrative Training
Institute train the staff members which are conductive to effective implementation of the Quality
assurance procedures. Programmes like Teacher Empowerment Programme, Feel Teacher
Programme etc. are productive in this regard.
Trainings are regularly imparted to non-teaching staff members regarding maintenance of files,
use of computer, confidential works etc.
6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other external review of the academic
provisions? If ‘yes’, how are the outcomes used to improve the institutional activities?
The Principal reviews the performance reports submitted by the faculty members periodically and
these are subsequently sent to the higher authorities for necessary action. The Principal is also
responsible for recording the annual confidential report of the faculty members.
Further, academic audit is being done by the DCE through the Office of the Regional Joint
Director. Also, the affiliation committee of the University of Mysore visits the college and
undertakes academic audit every year.
6.5.5 How is the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the requirements of the
relevant external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities?
As the institution is recognized under 2(f) and 12 (B) of the UGC Act and affiliated to the
University of Mysore, strict compliance with the recommendations is ensured on the part of the
college is. It is formally accredited by NAAC. The IQAC mechanism is fully compliant with all
the requirements of the relevant external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities
6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review the teaching learning
process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of operations and outcome?
The structure of the performance for the self-appraisal is given in 6.2.4 and 6.3.3.
The IQAC obtains feedback from students on the performance of teachers at the end of every
academic year.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 233 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Feedback on the curricular aspects, institutional and departmental infrastructures are obtained
every year.
Similarly, self-appraisal reports of teachers are obtained by the Principal every year.
IQAC has established a system for reviewing the quality of teaching-learning activity on the
campus. The main tools and techniques used for this purpose are the parts of resources provided
by NAAC, UGC or similar agencies. Separate sets of questionnaires are made available for
evaluation of teachers, programmes, campus experience etc. by students. The IQAC collects
information on the quality improvement programmes attended by teachers, publication of books
and articles, research activities, use of ICT equipment, performance of students in internal and
external examinations, ranks and honours received by students and faculty. Consolidation of these
data enables IQAC to conduct a review of the teaching-learning process.

CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness
7.1.1 Does the university conduct a Green Audit of its campus?
This is an eco-friendly campus. We have taken up green auditing under the able guidance of Dr. L.
Prasannakumar, Professor and Project co-ordinator, Centre for alternative energy resource, PES
Engineering College, Mandya, who also happens to be a consultant for rain water harvesting, bio-
fuel extraction and ground water recharging systems.
Green audit is an on-going process that includes the following initiations.
a. Energy saving measures: We are aware of the fact that conservation of energy is very
important. Therefore we have tapped renewable energy sources like solar energy by installing
solar panels on the main building. With this initiative, we are able to reduce our dependence on
hydel-electricity to a considerable extent.
Our concern for energy conservation doesn’t stop here. We have initiated the replacement of
regular bulbs by LED bulbs in a phased manner.
b. Water saving efforts – Ground water recharge:
We have an elaborate plan for increasing ground water table by installing percolation pits in the
campus in phased manner. As a part of this plan, one percolation pit is already in use.
c. Water saving techniques:
First and the foremost concern of ours is to bring awareness among students about the
importance and conservation of water through various programmes.
We try our best to prevent leakage of water.
Rain water from main building is channelised to percolation pit and surrounding trees.
Implementation of rain water harvesting is in the pipeline.
d. Expanding green cover through plantation
Over the years, sincere efforts have borne fruit and we have good number of trees in the
campus now, amongst which commercial and bio-fuel trees are prominent.
Plantation of saplings is one of the major activities of our N.S.S. units in the campus and also in
the nearby villages.
e. Waste management
Waste is segregated and dumped into separate pits made for biodegradable and non-
biodegradable categories. Dried leaves and paper are not burnt. Dried leaves are buried in the
soil itself and are used for composting.
f. Counter balancing of carbon emission in the campus
The number of students studying in the institution is 2800. Thus human activity on daily basis
leads to higher amount of carbon emission. This is countered with a large number of trees
throughout the length and breadth of the campus.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 241 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
In addition, we are blessed with more number of bicycle users and less number of cars and motor
cycles.
g. Awareness programmes:
Educating students on the importance of conservation and protection of environment is another
grey area. This is addressed through various activities of Jnanasiri, N.S.S., Nature and
adventure club and Life science departments on a regular basis .
7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the university to make the campus eco friendly?
The Coordinator of N.S.S. represents the university. His role in the activities spearheaded by
N.S.S. in making the campus eco-friendly is praiseworthy. All efforts are made with the help of
N.S.S. and students to make the campus resemble a mini forest.
Energy conservation:
The institution has identified the energy consumption in the various locations of the College;
accordingly to the main building receive supply of energy solar power batteries with a capacity of
20 KVA.
In addition this measure, the institution has initiated another measure; replace traditional lights /
tube lights by LED bulbs in a phased manner in order to reduce the consumption of power as
much as possible.
Use of renewable energy:
We are aware of the fact that utilisation of renewable energy like solar energy enjoys critical
importance which alone can minimise the dependence upon traditional source of electricity. We
have installed a solar power battery of 20 KVA capacity which provides power to the main
building housing many laboratories with computers.
Hot water for the inmates of hostel which is situated in the campus has been provided by installing
solar water heaters thereby reducing the dependence upon traditional source of electricity.
Water harvesting:
We have an elaborate plan of installing percolation pits through out the campus as a measure to
recharge ground water table.
The process has been started with the installation of one percolation pit.
Implementation of rain water harvesting is in the pipeline.
Check dam construction:
Efforts for carbon neutrality:
Utmost care is taken to maintain the lush green environment. Planting trees is another healthy
practice of our institution in reducing carbon in the atmosphere. Thus the greenery in the college
campus effectively neutralises the harmful effects of Carbon dioxide.
The dead leaves and the waste papers are not allowed to be burnt. Major quantity of leaves are
buried in the soil itself and the rest are used for composting and the waste paper is disposed of.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 242 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Parking facility is provided for students. As a matter of fact, the bicycle users far outnumber the
car or motor cycle users.
Nature and adventure club observes “smoke free day” by creating awareness of the hazardous
effects of emission of vehicles.
Plantation:
It is one of the healthy practices of the college; saplings are planted in the campus on various
occasions. For instance, the inauguration of ‘Nature and Adventure Club’ was done by planting a
sapling by a renowned environmentalist, Sri. Nagesh Hegde. A small patch of land in front of the
department of Botany has been used for the maintenance of medicinal plants to impart knowledge
of such plants to the students.
We have two N.S.S. units the main concern of which is to advocate the importance of trees and
plantation. The thrust of N.S.S. is upon planting of saplings on a regular basis not just in the
college but also in the nearby villages. For instance, in the annual camp of 2013-14 80 saplings
were planted at B. Hosur which is ten kilometres away from our campus and in the annual camp of
2014-15 125 saplings were planted at Pura which is eleven kilometres away from our campus.
Planting of about 100 saplings in the campus is on the anvil.
Hazardous waste management:
We have separate pits for the disposition of degradable and non-degradable waste.
E - Waste management:
We cannot dispose of the e-waste without the permission of the government because this is a
government institution. However, abandoned electronic items are stored safely to avoid its
hazardous effects.
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 university.
Innovations are an integral part of progress. Striving towards progress and excellence is a
perennial journey which demands commitment and willingness and the ability to innovate is one
step in this direction. Our institution has taken up determinate steps towards this path. The
innovations introduced by the institution have made a positive impact on its functioning. The
details of the innovative practices introduced during the last four years are given below.
1. N.S.S. – The community oriented activities of our college is one of our major strengths. N.S.S.
is one such unit which is doing many innovative activities in this regard regularly like planting
of saplings, blood donation camps, eye donation awareness programmes, empowerment of
women etc. This year we secured one state level and one national level awards for its
contribution.
2. Jnana siri – Jnana siri a unique and innovative programme introduced by our principal with an
aim to impart interdisciplinary to our students. It turned out to be a most successful and much
awaited programme for the students and staff. This was appreciated by our higher officials also.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 243 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
3. Chintana lekha - An in-house academic journal is being published by the institution. Chintana
lekha brings out research-based articles written not only by our faculty but also by scholars
elsewhere. Chintana lekha is aiming to get ISSN registration. We are glad to say that three
books titled ‘Chintana lekha’ were published with ISBN registration this year. (ISBN Number:
978-81-923619).
Publication is one of our major interests. The institution has many publications to its credit.
Neladasiri – A magazine dedicated to the articles of students is published annually. It is edited by
a board consisting of the Principal, teachers and a representative of students. We are proud to state
that our magazine has been conferred with the third prize in the year 2012-13 and the first prize in
the year 2013-14 by the University of Mysore to which our college is affiliated.
Srijanasiri – A literary fortnightly wall magazine is a spring board for the students to hone their
literary skills.
Kalasiri – It showcases the art and craft talents of students.
Madhyamasiri – A quarterly wall magazine brought out by the department of Journalism and
Communication to motivate the students to write articles, reports and stories which, in turn, boost
their confidence to improve further.
On special occasions our college has brought out several unique publications comprising of poems
composed by both students and staff members. ‘Gandhi siri’ marked Gandhi Jayanthi; ‘Guru Siri’
marked Teachers day, ‘Swatantra siri’ marked Independence Day and ‘Jeeva hani’ is a work
which highlights the importance of blood donation.
4. Nature and Adventure Club - Various competitions were organized by Nature and adventure
club in order to create awareness among our students of their social responsibility. The
competitions are listed below.:
Elocution and painting competition on account of Ozone Day
World Smoke Free Day- human chain formation
Forest Day – Elocution competition and a special lecture
Wildlife Week – Painting competition and Exhibition of wildlife photos
Eco-Walk and Trekking
The Principal takes keen interest in ensuring that each and every department conducts one or the
other co-curricular activities. IQAC extends unqualified support right from planning to the
execution of the activities like workshops, seminars, special lectures, competitions etc.
Sports- The department of Sports is strengthened by the opening a gymnasium with the state-of-
the-art equipment for the benefit of students and the staff.
The department of Computer Science has introduced a UGC funded add – on - course on
Networking which the students have found quite useful.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 244 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
The department of Political science holds mock Legislative Assembly session and mock polling
events for students to enhance their awareness of the functioning of democratic institutions and
practices.
The department of Zoology observes Forest day on 21st March every year in order to create
awareness of the importance of forests among students by inviting resource persons and students
from other colleges and give them a platform to express their views.
The department of Kannada organises unique events by inviting writers and poets of repute
providing an opportunity for the students of literature to listen to and interact with them.
The department of Botany has strengthened its activities by building a Green House where
medicinal plants are being maintained.
The department of Zoology has enriched its activities by building a unique butterfly park and by
installing vermi compost pit.
Film Appreciation Club: This club arranges the shows of award winning movies and interaction
with such directors.
The club arranged the show of Gubbacchi, (The Sparrow) a national award winner movie directed
by Abhayachandra. After the show, interaction with Abhayachandra solved the doubts which
were aroused.
Nagara and Nadi Kanive, (City and River Valley), a documentary film based on the
consequences of Gundya hydroelectric project in the Western Ghat, known as a hypersensitive and
endangered region of bio-diversity, was arranged by the club. After the screening of the film,
Kesari, the director of the film interacted with the students.
The club arranged the show of Puttakkana Highway, (Puttakka’s Highway) based on a story by
Nagathihalli Chandrashekar and directed by B.Suresha on the brighter and the darker side of land
acquisition, which has won the National award for Best Regional Film.
7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better academic and
administrative functioning of the college Best Practices.
Best practice No I:
Jnanasiri:
1. Title: Jnanasiri
2. Goal:
Impart interdisciplinary exposure to our students to make learning holistic in nature
3. The context:
Our educational system is conditioned by closed elective system which limits severely
knowledge which the students can acquire Jnana siri is designed to overcome this barrier.
Naturally, knowledge which goes beyond texts is imparted. It also empowers our students with
life skills.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 245 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
4. The practice:
A definite time slot has been allotted in the time table itself. The activities are carried out
on every Thursday between 12.30 and 1.30 pm for all the students.
The details of the activities for that day are announced on Thursday morning. Students are
instructed to attend these activities in the allotted rooms and laboratories.
Prior to the announcement of the schedule resource persons are contacted and acceptance
is obtained. External resource persons as well as our teachers participate in these
programmes.
Every activity is moderated by a teacher who ensures the smooth running of the activity
and also collects feedback from the participants.
Jnana siri has touched every branch of knowledge; academics, fine arts, life skills, health,
fitness, social issues, gender sensitisation, etc.
This programme has enabled our students to meet reputed scholars, highly renowned artists
& musicians, committed activists, eminent personalities in literary field and stalwarts from
various walks of life.
5. Evidence of success:
Student’s enthusiastic participation and feedback speaks volumes of the success of the
programme.
It is appreciated by all the stakeholders
Appreciation by our higher ups is a shot in the arm for us.
Jnanasiri was enriched by the participation of more than 200 resource persons from
different walks of life.
We could conduct more than 400 activities till now which is a rare feat.
6. Problems encountered:
Arranging resource persons for a regular programme like Jnanasiri is not an easy task and was a
big challenge.
It is the brain child of our principal Dr. Leela Appaji who had been a sole driving force behind
this programme.
7. Notes:The most notable addition to extra-curricular activities is Jnanasiri. This is the brain
child of Dr.Leela Appaji. The idea behind Jnanasiri is to promote interdisciplinary study which
was sidelined completely by the pattern of electives which is a common place practice in all
universities. This programme, therefore, was structured in such a manner that students of science
stream were introduced to the elements of humanities and commerce and vice-versa.
Best practice No II: N.S.S. and Endowments:
National Service Scheme
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 246 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
1. Title: Community service.
2. Goal:
Education through community service
Inculcation moral, social and ethical value
Personality development
Infuse a strong sense of social responsibilities in students
Provide a platform to showcase the hidden strength
3. The context:
Establishing a sense of equality among students:
The students had to be made to understand the complexity of social problems, all-pervasive
evil, before empowering them and also inculcate empathy in them towards less privileged.
They also had to be made to understand how every individual is part of society.
4. The practice:
We have two N.S.S. units comprising of 100 volunteers each. They are motivated to render
community service after their class hours on Saturdays and in annual camps, national festivals
and special occasions like health camps, blood donation camps and sapling plantation in the
college, etc.
5. Evidence of success:
a. Number of students who came forward to join N.S.S. is greater than what we can cater to.
b. Our volunteers are sought after by larger society. For instance, Vajpayee Arogyashree Mela,
organised by the department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, sought
the help of more than 100 volunteers of our college. Our students have also rendered their
service in cleaning and sapling plantation programmes organised by our institution and
NGOs.
a. N.S.S. volunteers have the practice of donating blood to the needy patients.
b. Many students have registered to donate their eyes after their death.
c. For the past five years three of our N.S.S. volunteers namely Meenakshi, Sowmya and
Reshma U.P. received the honour of participation in Republic Day parade.
d. Our N.S.S. volunteer Kalaivani K. was bestowed with a state award.
e. Five of our N.S.S. volunteers Reshma U.P., Pavithra R., Nirupama S., Sukrutha G.C.,
and Suguna S. M. were bestowed with the best volunteer award by the University of
Mysore.
The guiding and motivating force behind all these achievements is our dynamic principal Dr. Leela
Appaji and our N.S.S. officers. Their efforts have been rewarded with many awards and recognitions
like:
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 247 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
a. Best N.S.S. unit and Best Programme Officer award for Unit 2 and Sri K. B. Narayana
respectively in the year 2011-12 by the University of Mysore.
b. Government of Karnataka conferred the Best N.S.S. unit and Best Programme Officer award for
Unit 2 and K. B. Narayana respectively in the year 2013-14. The award was received by our
principal Dr. Leela Appaji and Sri K. B. Narayana on 6th
February 2015 from our Hon’ble
Governor Sri. Vajubhaiwala at Rajbhavan, Bengaluru.
c. To crown it all we also received national recognition in the year 2013-14 in the form of Indira
Gandhi National N.S.S. award which happens to be the highest award given to community
service in the country. Sri.K.B.Narayana. Dr.Leela Appaji and Sri.K.B.Narayana received this
award from our Hon’ble President of India Sri. Pranab Kumar Mukherjee on 19-11-2014 at
Rashtrapathi Bhavan, New Delhi.
d. The National Award consists of a Trophy and a cash award of Rs.70,000 for the N.S.S. unit
and a Silver Medal, a certificate along with a cash award of Rs. 20,000 to the Programme
Officer Sri. K. B. Narayana.
e. The State Award consists of a certificate and a cash award of Rs.5000 for the N.S.S. unit and a
certificate along with a cash award of Rs 3000 to the Programme Officer Sri. K. B. Narayana.
6. Problems Encountered:
Major challenge the unit faces was to deal with the resistance of local community to an outside
intervention in the form of community service. In addition, the conservative mindset of village
community does not easily accept and receive the services of girl students and hence convincing
them to support our endeavour is a big challenge.
To successfully carry out the activities during the camps of our team of N.S.S. volunteers have to
overcome the hurdles in the form of local disputes also.
7. Notes:
To conduct annual camps pooling of human and material resources is not a big challenge, but
getting financial assistance is a bit difficult. In spite of all these constraints our N.S.S. volunteers
are really able to do their bit to the community and society with the able guidance of the
Principal & N.S.S. Officers in particular and institution in general.
We are to state that our university has played a supportive role all through.
Endowments:
1. Title: Recognition and Rewards.
2. Goal: To encourage and to support the achievers in the fields of curricular, co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities.
3. The context: To motivate students to actively take part in each and every activity of the
college.
4. The practice: Pooling of endowments is an on-going process. As of now we have 30
endowments worth Rs. 300,016 (Rs.Three hundred thousand and sixteen) which fetches an
annual interest of Rs. 27,000 (Rs.Twenty seven thousand). The achievers are recognised and
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 248 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
felicitated on the College day with certificate and cash awards out of the interest earned by the
endowment.
5. Evidence of success: As a proof of the success of this practice, there is a considerable
increase in the number of endowments. (From 23 to 30 endowments in the past four years).
Along with this, the number of achievers also is increasing year by year.
6. Problems encountered: It is smooth running practice due to the continuous guidance and
support given by the Principal and managed efficiently by a team of teachers led by Sri. K.B.
Narayana, Convenor of the committee.
7. Notes: We invite the donors on the day of felicitation. They do feel a sense of satisfaction,
since the endowment is given in the memory of their loved ones.
Students, in turn, feel honoured and motivated to achieve more and more. It is inspirational to all
others students in general.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strength A good number of students opt to study History and we have well
qualified and committed teachers in the department.
Our teachers provide academic counseling to the students.
Weakness Though our teachers are qualified and committed, most of them are
guest lecturers. Majority of our students travel from surrounding
villages and find it difficult to participate in the activities organized
by the department.
Opportunit
y
We offer PG course in History.
Dr. H.S.Basavegowda, one of our faculty has guide ship from
Kannada University and interested students can pursue M.Phil and
Ph.D here itself.
Constraints Most of our students are vulnerable in the face of existing socio-
cultural mores. Despite our efforts and support they find it difficult
to pursue higher studies. Even though we talk to the parents in
support of our students, it is difficult for us to reach all of them.
Future
Plans:
Strengthening department library.
Promoting ICT enabled learning.
Organizing seminars for students.
Inviting eminent personalities for special lectures.
Organizing inter-disciplinary events to enhance student learning.
Conducting historical study trips for students.
Introducing a paper on Tourism and Heritage

and job orientated courses to build student carriers. Teaching staff need more
freedoms to work on research activities to enhance there knowledge’s.
Challenge: department doesn’t consist of library facilities.
Future Plans
a) Remedial classes and bridge courses for slow learners and need students.
b) Achieve for get 100% result consistently.
c) Establish P.G study center in computer science subject.

1. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strength:
Dedicated and motivating teaching faculty.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 345 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Outstanding performance of students in the University Examinations
with 100% success rate and the majority of them pass with Distinction
and First class marks.
The Department is well connected with and very well supported by
Eminent senior and experienced faculty of different colleges and
university..
The department is well equipped with ICT facility, Laboratory and
museum.
Butterfly park is a new addition to the department.[which is a gift of
Rajalakshmi.s to the department]
Students share close interaction with the teachers.
Supportive and friendly non-teaching staff.
Weakness: Shortage of academic support staff for laboratory
Shortage of space for extension of laboratory for U.G.courses and
opening of Post Graduate Course.
Opportunity:
Opportunities for project work in collaboration with different
Universities and Research Institutes.
Reconstruction and redesigning of curriculum for UG courses in
consultation with the Expert members of PG Board of Studies.
Challenge:
Majority of our students travel from surrounding villages and find it difficult to
participate in the activities organized by the department and hence motivating
them is a big challenge.
FUTURE PLAN:
1 Quality enhancement in teaching by
a) Developing study material.
b) Question bank for self assessment.
2 Organizing crash course of computer basics
3 Establishing library for NET/SLET Examination preparation.
4. Introducing a paper on Laboratory techniques.

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES:
During the second cycle of assessment and accreditation 10 recommendations were made by the
NAAC peer team. Following steps have been taken to implement their suggestions to the best of
our ability and for a better functioning of the institution:
1. Provide library building and additional class rooms within the campus:
Thanks to tireless efforts of Dr. Leela Appaji, the Principal, today we can proudly state that we
have succeeded in getting a building constructed to house Library in the main campus. It has a
seating capacity of 100. Ground floor, measuring 432 sq. mts. is meant for UG; a mezzanine floor,
measuring 144 sq. mts. is meant for PG section. It also houses a separate reading room measuring
72 sq. mts. and a network centre measuring 72 sq. mts.
This could be achieved solely due to magnanimous donation of Rs. 500,000/- by Dr. Leela Appaji
followed by Rs. 7,000,000/- received from the UGC and channelised through the Department of
Collegiate Education.
Post reaccreditation, we constructed 6 class rooms with 100 seat capacity each and 2 class rooms
with 20 seat capacity each on the first floor of Cauvery block thanks to Rs. 10 million grants
received from the government. Four laboratories for PG department of Chemistry came up with
the help of Rs. 6,000,000/- grants received from the government. On the first floor of main
building, 6 class rooms have come up with the help of Rs. 900,000/- grants from the UGC, Rs.
350,000/- from CDC and Rs. 250,000/- from MLC grants. Our efforts to augment the number of
rooms did not end here. Two open air classes were constructed thanks to the magnanimous
support of Dr. Leela Appaji, who contributed Rs. 70,000 and Mr. M. R. Nandan who contributed
Rs. 60,000 after his retirement as an Associate Professor of Philosophy from our college on 31st
October 2011.
2. Provide permanent faculty for all disciplines:
On this issue, we can only appeal to the government. Time and again, we have sent requisitions
and followed it up to get permanent faculty posted. We have achieved some progress in this
regard. The government has issued a notification for the recruitment of assistant professors. We
are hopeful of getting our share in due course.
3. PG courses require more teachers with Ph.D.:
Presently, we have six PG programmes; Kannada, History, Economics, Sociology, Chemistry and
Commerce.
PG department of Kannada has four permanent teachers with Ph.D.
PG department of History has two permanent teachers and one guest faculty with Ph.D. and two
permanent faculty members are pursuing Ph.D.
PG department of Economics has one permanent faculty with Ph.D.; one permanent faculty has
submitted his thesis and two members of faculty are in the pursuit of Ph.D.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 363 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
PG department of Sociology has one faculty pursuing Ph.D.
PG department of Chemistry has one permanent faculty with Ph.D. and a guest faculty is pursuing
Ph.D.
PG department of Commerce has one faculty pursuing Ph.D.
4. New courses may be introduced only with qualified regular faculty.
For new courses, viz., Psychology, Journalism, Geography and Criminology, which were started
prior to reaccreditation, we have been able to get a permanent faculty for the department of
Psychology and higher authorities have promised to post permanent faculty for other departments
too.
After 2010, postgraduate programmes in History, Kannada, Chemistry and Commerce were
introduced with permanent faculty in all these departments. Since the number is inadequate, we
have appealed to the government to post the required number of faculty.
5. Strengthen and establish new laboratories in all practical subjects e.g. Psychology and
Geography.
A grant of Rs. 6,800,000/- has been sanctioned by the government to get laboratories and class
rooms constructed for the departments of Psychology, Geography and Criminology. The
government has awarded the contract to RITES to take up the construction work.
Four laboratories have been constructed for M.Sc. programme in Chemistry. In addition, all other
existing laboratories have been strengthened by upgrading them with ICT facilities and the state-
of-the-art equipment.
6. Set up a Language Lab
Language laboratory has been set up with the 16 computers and software worth Rs. 99,000.
7. Provide additional support to units that have shown strength and potential - e.g. Sports.
Department of Sports has been further strengthened with a ‘Multi gymnasium’, an indoor stadium
and a court for shuttle cock. Rs. 7,000,000/- has been sanctioned by the UGC for the construction
of indoor stadium, out of which Rs. 3,500,000/-has already been released. Construction work is
yet to be started by the Department of Collegiate Education.
Rs. 860,000/- has been sanctioned by the UGC for the construction of courts for other games.
N.S.S.: N.S.S. is doing a wonderful job and has brought many laurels to the institution with the
unconditional support of the Principal, staff and students. Mr. Narayana K.B. was conferred the
Best N.S.S. Officer award at national level.
Library: In addition to being accommodated in new and spacious building, the library has been
strengthened remarkably with augmented e-resources and computers with internet facility. The
work on bar coding of books is also completed.
8. Introduce add-on diploma or certificate courses for skill development.
We have one add-on certificate course introduced by the Department of Computer Science on
‘Computer Networking’.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 364 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
Other departments have plans for introducing such courses.
9. More efforts to be made to tap resources from UGC and other funding agency.
Our consistent and sustained efforts have yielded dividend in the form of UGC grants of Rs. 40
million and above.
10. Provide a gym for training of sports women and for exercise and fitness for students and
faculty.
We have set up a ‘Multi gymnasium’ with the state-of-the-art equipment for the training of
sportspersons and for routine exercise for students and faculty with the help of the UGC grants of
Rs. 250,000/- released out of sanctioned grant of Rs. 500,000/-.
OVERALL ANALYSIS:
Inadequate infrastructure – Class rooms, staff room, auditorium/ hall are some of the
immediate needs:
Class rooms: There is a considerable increase in the number of class rooms. Since 2010 totally 14
class rooms and 2 open air class rooms have been constructed, of which 10 rooms are with 100
seat capacity each, 2 rooms are with 40 seat capacity each and 2 rooms are with 20 seat capacity
each. 2 open air class rooms are built with 60 seat capacity each.
Staff rooms: In addition to the departments which have separate staff rooms like science
departments, UG and PG departments of Sociology and Economics are provided with independent
staff rooms. Departments of History (UG and PG) and English were provided with separate staff
rooms after 2010.
Apart from this the main staff room accommodates other major departments with separate
compartments and all other facilities including computer.
Auditorium: Open air auditorium (Vanaranga) is renovated and expanded which accommodates
around 2000 students and in addition a proposal has been submitted to the government for the
construction of an auditorium atop new library building.
Excessive reliance on guest and part time faculty:
As this is an institution run by the government, we can only appeal to the government in this
aspect, which we have done persistently and consistently. As a result, we have achieved some
progress in this regard. Some permanent faculty members from private colleges have been posted
to our college on redeployment policy.
Notification for the recruitment of assistant professors has been issued by the government. Hence
we are hopeful of getting permanent faculty in the near future.
Lack of research activities:
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 365 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
With the constant support and encouragement of the Principal and the research committee,
research activity has been accelerated to a significant extent either in the form of pursuing Ph.D.
or in the form of taking up research projects.
Since 2010 seven faculty members have obtained Ph.D.; two of them had availed of FDP facility.
Seventeen faculty members are pursuing Ph.D. of which one has availed of FDP facility. In
addition, some guest faculty members also have Ph.D. and some are pursuing the same.
Apart from this programme, some faculty members have taken up significant number of research
projects. Students are also oriented towards research activity and have successfully carried out
projects.
Responding to the increasing demand for job oriented higher education:
In response to the increasing demand for job oriented higher education, M.Com. and M.Sc. in
Chemistry have been introduced.
Initiations have been taken up to empower the students with job oriented skills under the aegis of
Jnana siri programme, employment cell and other departments.
Other than these programmes, there are several programmes like skill development and
empowering programmes like STAR Leadership for final year students, SAHAYOG and
NAIPUNYANIDHI programme for all other students which are sponsored by the government.
Taking advantage of funding available with the UGC and other funding agencies for research,
sports renovation and expansion of infrastructure facility (open air auditorium, construction of a
new building for canteen, cycle stand, percolation pit, laboratories for Chemistry, installation of
solar batteries with a capacity of 20KVA and faculty improvement, we have availed of more than
Rs. forty million as grants from the UGC, the government and other sources. Butterfly Park and
Greeen House came up thanks to donations from two faculty members; Smt. Rajalakshmi S.,
Associate Professor of Zoology and Dr. Nagarathnamma, Associate Professor of Botany.
Construction of laboratories for the departments of Psychology, Geography and Criminology and
indoor stadium will commence sooner or later.
A good number of faculty members have taken up research projects and some of faculty members
have availed of FDP facility.
To establish institutional identity as a major educational institution in the region:
This is one of the most reputed and sought after college in the district. The following instances
bear testimony; feedback from parents, alumni, general public and reputed personalities from
various walks of life and our higher ups of the department.
Self Study Report 2015
Page | 366 GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, MANDYA – 571 401.
The Principal and some members of faculty have given enough publicity to various activities of
the college through face book and WhatsApp, in addition to the regular means of publicity through
notice board, prospectus and advertisements.
To adapt ICT and new technologies for teaching and learning:
Sustained efforts have been made to adapt ICT and new technologies for teaching and learning.
This could be achieved by providing computers with internet facility to almost all departments.
Science departments and most of the PG departments are equipped with LCD projectors also. Four
class rooms are provided with audio-visual aids. Thus many of our faculties are using these
technologies for better teaching and for better learning by the students.
