Preface

It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction to submit the Self-Study Report of

Smt.VHD Central Institute of Home Science, Bangalore, for the 3rd Cycle of Re-

accreditation. The report is a frank expression of our efforts at sustaining and

enhancing quality, ever since our previous Re-accreditation. The criteria-wise

questions provided by NAAC has been used as a guide, to make a sincere attempt

to provide a broad picture of the overall programmes and activities of the

institution towards fulfilling our goals in tune with our Vision and Mission.

In sync with the quality assurance framework of NAAC, this Self-Study Report

seeks to present the inputs, processes and outcomes involved in our pursuit for

quality sustenance and enhancement. To this effect, we have tried to articulate our

efforts at realizing the primary goals of higher education ie teaching, learning,

research and extension, which also correspond with the five core values that

NAAC considers pivotal to higher education.

The IQAC of the college has been the backbone of our efforts at charting the

course of our ‘quality sustenance and enhancement processes’. IQAC has made a

sincere effort to amalgamate different stakeholders and make the process highly

participatory and interactive. While the internal team comprising the Principal,

staff and students basically conceived and owned the process, the external

stakeholders provided the necessary strength and support for striding into newer

horizons of quality initiatives and innovations that are captured and represented in

the report. This introspective exercise, though very intensive and laborious, has

been a satisfying experience..

The only Government women’s institution in Karnataka to offer Home Science

courses from Degree to Ph.D along with other programmes of study, Smt. VHD

Central Institute of Home Science has completed 50 years of its existence and is

confident of marching ahead to attain greater distinctions. At this significant and

important juncture the VHD family eagerly looks forward to the peer team visit.

Executive Summary:

The institutional self-study along the lines suggested by NAAC in the

manual for self-study provided an ideal opportunity for honest

introspection and analysis. Through this exercise, the institution could

identify its strength and weaknesses, measure its effectiveness and

evaluate the standards of its performance.

Smt.V.H.D. Central Institute of Home Science, Bangalore is one of the

premiere women’s colleges in Karnataka, affiliated to the Bangalore

University and is a Government college. The Home Science Department

was founded in 1951, and in 1961 Smt.V.H.D.Central Institute of Home

Science came into existence, as an answer to the increasing demands for

higher education among young women. The College celebrated its golden

jubilee year in 2011.

The college nestled amidst greenery in the heart of the city, close to the

seat of Power in the State- the Vidhana Soudha and right next to the well

known Freedom Park is located on a campus area of 4 acres. The

Institution has obtained 2(f) and 12 (B) tag of the UGC. It has been

accredited by NAAC with B+ in 2003 and reaccredited with B in 2009

with a CGPA of 2.80. The college follows the semester pattern of study.

From the academic year 2014-15, the credit based system of study has

been introduced.

The college upholds the motto “Satyameva Jayathe” and the college song

ideally sums up the philosophy of the College. The vision of the college is

to motivate and train young girls to become agents of social change by

stimulating their creative faculties, powers of reasoning, reflection,

confidence and competence. Education at the college is open to all young

girls irrespective of religion, caste or community. It imparts quality

education to the economically and socially backward classes, scheduled

castes and scheduled tribe students and also to students from north-eastern



states of India. University education is provided not only to acquire

knowledge but also to inculcate a sound philosophy of life for holistic

living. To fulfil these objectives the College strives to create a scholastic

environment through effective teaching, curricular and co-curricular

activities and democratic disciplining.

To provide quality education and at the same time inculcate a spirit of

service and dedication has been the hallmark of this college. A tool for

social upliftment, the college, through various extension activities

empowers the VHDians to respond creatively and with a sense of

responsibility to the contemporary needs of the society. Although the

college caters to comparatively average students, it is able to tap their

potential to the fullest and motivate them to greater heights.

The credit for meeting and fulfilling the demand for quality education goes

to the highly qualified and committed sixty nine college teaching faculty

who reaches beyond the classrooms in their pedagogic efforts. They

become mentors who pilot each student through the passage of under

graduate, post graduate and doctoral studies to finally launch her into the

world beyond the campus, confident of the welcome that awaits her. There

is also a special bond that exists between the faculty and the students,

which enable the various departments to function as a well-knit unit.

A close intimacy exists among the faculty, promoting a healthy

relationship between the departments. The Principal, faculty, non-teaching

personnel and students share a symbiotic bond as a family and the same

applies with our stakeholders like the Department, University, alumni and

parents. With a strong belief in continuous learning as a Learning

Organization, the College believes in self-assessment, which is embedded

in the very culture of the college.

With every passing year, the college has grown in strength. A major

milestone was reached in the year 1990 with the commencement of



Doctoral courses in Home Science. Another milestone was reached in the

year 2007, when the college was accorded recognition as a Research

Centre in the five disciplines of Home Science by the Bangalore

University. The Government of Karnataka sanctioned the Post Graduate

Course in Sociology in 2008. The courses FAD, BCA, B.Com, and BBM

were introduced between the years 2000-2009. The Golden Jubilee year

witnessed the UGC granting the innovative Post Graduate course In Early

Childhood Education and Administration to the College.

In the year 2014 two diploma courses were instituted under the

Community College scheme.

Newer courses created a need for improved physical infrastructure in the

form of rooms and laboratories. Recognizing this need, the Government of

Karnataka sanctioned a sum of rupees four crores to add the required

infrastructure.

IQAC and Post Accreditation: While asserting and building on the

strengths acknowledged by the previous Peer Team, the IQAC has been

very proactive in addressing the limitations cited and building on the

opportunities and challenges that the Team had pointed out in the report.

The IQAC has focused its special attention to the recommendations of the

Peer Team, which in fact cleared the way for rapid progress towards

quality improvements and innovation since the previous accreditation. Re-

visioning and upholding the core values, the VHD perspective plan 2009-

14 was the most important undertaking of the IQAC. Besides charting the

Perspective Plan in successive years to realize the benchmarks

recommended by the Peer Team, the IQAC of the College has successfully

completed the team visits by Distinguished Committees like Affiliation

Committees to sanction new courses and combinations, team to accord the

College with Potential for Excellence, team for according Autonomous

Status, and drafted proposals for establishing a School of Home Science

under the Cluster University component of the MHRD RUSA scheme.



Knowledge nurturing: The institution has redefined its pedagogical

framework, making a vigorous move from Knowledge delivering Process

to Knowledge nurturing process in order to refocus on making learning

more meaningful and socially engaging. This paradigm shift in the

pedagogical framework became the bedrock of all our teaching-learning,

research, extension and outreach activities, synergizing them all into the

singular strategic goal of quality sustenance and enhancement.

Pedagogical outlook: To align the educational programs with the

institutional goals and the ensuing objectives, the Institution promotes

activities at two levels namely pedagogical and programmatic. Further,

recognizing the need to integrate theoretical perspectives with hands on

experiences, the blue print for extension and outreach programs are drawn

up in the curriculum, especially the Home Science curriculum. The

extension and outreach programmes of the institution are envisaged to

enrich and challenge the classroom learning and to facilitate the students to

have an enriching experience in the field.

• Engaged Learning & Knowledge Building - Rural-Live-in-Camps,

Exposure Visits, Industry/Agency interactions, peer Mentoring, Smart

classrooms, Digital Library…..

• Value based Education - Value Education Programme- Manavathe,

assemble Alumni Series, Founders Day, Celebration of national and

religious festivals, Vivekananda day celebration……

• Integral & Humane Growth - Student Welfare & Health Centre, Anti

ragging cell, Counseling cell, skills for success Training, Life skill

training, NSS camps, Range Rovers camp, Naipunya nidhi……

• Eco-sensitive & Inclusive Culture –Environmental Engagements,

Environment and Waste Management Practices and Green auditing.



We believe we have translated these core values into action. Given below

is the gist of our reflections over our achievements against the backdrop of

the seven criteria envisaged by NAAC:

Curriculum Planning: To keep pace with the changing educational

scenario, the Home Science curriculum has undergone changes several

times in the 53 years of its existence. The curriculum has been constantly

and continuously reviewed and innovative need based and allied programs

added.

The Home Science curriculum has constantly evolved to reflect the

aspirations of our stakeholders and the emerging realities. All the

departments of Home Science have organised workshops to restructure

their respective curriculum getting inputs from industry experts,

academicians, organisations and the industry with which we engage. The

other programs being offered in the Institution follow the curriculum

designed by the Bangalore University. However, we have enriched to a

maximum extent possible and yet remain flexible for our women learner

population, within the limitations set by the rigid structures.

Teaching-Learning & Evaluation: Our teaching-learning system has

continued to focus on the cooperative and experiential learning strategies,

where the facilitator and the learner stay together in a process of mutual

learning. True to our vision, we have left no stone unturned to constantly

evolve blended learning systems and systems of evaluation through smart

classrooms, e-learning systems, mentoring system, peer learning systems,

and adopting different feedback mechanisms. All these systems reflect our

pursuit for excellence in spite of the various limitations we have had to

face.

Research Consultancy & Extension: In tune with the changed

pedagogical orientation we have made research a priority, putting it on par

with teaching-learning. This is also been reflected in the Home Science



curriculum designed by the various Departments, where research has been

embedded into the curriculum. True to this re-visioned focus, we have

publications, books, major and minor research projects to our credit. Our

teachers are sought after for training, research and consultancy services.

Infrastructure & Learning Resources: Our developmental efforts are

visualized in accordance with the infrastructural policy that the Institution

has spelt out. The library of our institution is a dynamic collection of

digital and hard intellectual resources in Home Science and other

Programs. It is a matter of pride for us that Faculty and students from other

Home Science colleges in Karnataka visit our library for reference. Our

ICT infrastructure connects the learning community to the global network

of knowledge and information making them comparable to their

counterparts anywhere in the world. The institution has a remarkably high

computer student ratio, with stand alone as well as LAN facilities and Wi-

Fi connectivity.

Governance Leadership & Management: Smt.VHD Central Institute of

Home Science has effectively addressed the administrative operations of

governance to include a host of participatory Committees − Academic,

Faculty, Department and students’ − that meet periodically to plan,

implement, review and evaluate our processes – both academic and

administrative The Institution’s administrative setup makes space for

participatory and collaborative functioning. The College has an active

CDC, College Council, and a host of other Committees set up for specific

tasks and roles. The College has set up various Clubs and Associations

aimed at implementing various programs in the interest of the stakeholders

towards fulfilment of the Vision and Mission of the College. A few of

these include: Spoken English Initiative, eco club, Social science forum,

science forum, students cultural association….

Student Support & Progression:. The Institution has its vision cut out

clear to facilitate student support and progression. The college provides a



fostering environment which promotes co-curricular, sports and extra-

curricular activities aimed at chiseling a wholesome and holistic

personality of the students to metamorphose them into competent, efficient

and responsible citizens ready to face the world of realities. They are

empowered in the real sense of the term with holistic skills to lead a

successful, peaceful, and purposeful life. The college provides various

Scholarships, free ships and support services like angel well wishers. The

college has set up a Placement Cell, Counseling Cell, gender cell, and

grievance redressal cell aimed at providing all the necessary support

system for the students. The College Alumni Association also is a

democratic strategy to provide space for participation of graduates who

have passed out from our portal.

Innovations & Best Practices The College believes in the principle of

continuous improvement and life-long learning. Innovation is the

cornerstone of our existence in the academic world and the teachers

continuously innovate with regard to procedures, processes and new

learning. Students are given ample space for new thinking and new

learning. The College has many best practices which are innovated and we

also have learnt the art of replication which we have learnt from the best

and adopted it to suit our purpose. Two patents that the College has

produced is a proof positive of its commitment to research and innovation.

The Dept. of Textiles and Clothing has to be given the credit for the

patents. The college continuously strives for innovations and new learning.

Today, Smt.V.H.D Central Institute of Home Science stands as a

lighthouse beckoning and directing young girls towards meaningful

education. We hasten to add that Smt.V.H.D Central Institute of Home

Science does not claim that she has achieved her ideals, but that she has

definitely moved a long way on the right track. She looks forward to

acquire new dimensions and directions.



The NAAC reaccreditation exercise has triggered off institutional

introspection journeys, which in turn has resulted in opening our eyes as to

where the college stands today. The reaccreditation report in fact presents

the credentials of Smt.V.H.D Central Institute of Home Science. We are

aware that we have miles to go and unknown paths to tread before we rise

up to excellent standards. Armed with this self-awareness, the college,

with its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges will now be

able to rejuvenate itself to contribute towards quality education. A positive

step in this direction is the decision to undergo the process of

reaccreditation, which resulted in the preparation of this reaccreditation

report.

Smt.V.H.D Central Institute of Home Science submits this report to

NAAC and awaits its final verdict.

The Vision - Mission Statements of the college are communicated to the

stake holders through the following means:

Strategically placed in the lobby to subtly capture the attention and drive

home the Vision Mission of the college to the students, staff, teachers and

other stakeholders as they enter the campus.

Prominently displayed at strategic locations like Principal’s Chambers,

Departments, Display Boards, office and Accounts section, library and at

the Hostel

Prospectus, Website, Newsletters, College Magazine “Griha Deepti” and

other occasional publications carry the Vision and Mission statement

prominently.

To the Students: At the commencement of the new academic year, where

newly admitted students to the College are exposed to an orientation

programme. In this programme, the Principal communicates the Vision

and Mission of the college to the audience.

To the teaching & non-teaching staff: Periodic revisioning and reviewing

exercises are undertaken by the teaching and non-teaching staff in their

respective groups; in fact, the perspective plan for 2009-14 and the

revision of the Vision, Mission and Objectives were the outcome of the



reviewing exercises held primarily among the teaching faculty and later

with other stakeholders. .

Whenever functions are organized in the campus, it is a mandatory

procedure to highlight the vision and mission of the college, to the chief

guest and the audience in the principal’s address.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the processand substantiate through specific example(s).

The Institution firmly believes in a Democratic participatory approach to

develop and deploy action plans. Action plans are developed with active

involvement of IQAC at the macro level and the Departments at the micro

level.

The faculty of each Department at the end of the semester, work out their

plans in each subject of the curriculum handled by them and bring it with

them to the Departmental meeting. The individual plans are integrated into

the Departmental plan and tentatively calendarised.

The Departmental plan is then taken to the HODs meeting called for by the

Principal. The incorporation of these plans into the institutional Strategic

plan is made in this meeting and finalised in terms of strategy and action.

The Principal and the IQAAC Coordinator synchronise the action plans of

the various Depts. and oversee their efficient and effective implementation.

The HoDs have the major responsibility to see to the implementation of

these plans. At the end of the semester each Department also evaluates and

renews their plan for the new semester.

For instance:

Each Department embeds into its curriculum different methods of teaching

and learning. Also each faculty has her own distinctive style of introducing

the curriculum to the students. Thus a curriculum may integrate field visits,

project work, seminar presentations, seminars to attend outside the



institution, invited lectures, access to knowledge from a variety of sites

related to the field of study.

Each teacher prepares the teaching plans and brings it to the Departmental

meeting where it is integrated into a departmental plan and concretised.

The HOD of the concerned Department is given the responsibility for

coordinating the plans.

Feedback and Evaluation: At the end of every semester, department-wise

meetings are held to gather feedback on the implementation of the

curriculum. The concerned teachers handling the subjects also gather

feedback from the students. These are then put forward in the Departmental

meetings for evaluation and action planned to address issues that need

attention.

For example, it was pointed out by the Post Graduate and Doctoral students

that they required help in the use of e - resources for their research work. It

was based on this feedback, that an invited lecture was organised by the

Department of Resource Management. Dr.Samyuktha, Chief Librarian,

Pudichery University addressed the students on the use of e-resources for

research.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?

University Support:

The Institution is affiliated to Bangalore University. Being an affiliated

College, the University facilitates curriculum revision and provides the

required guidelines and support for the conduct of the curriculum revision

workshop. Also Smt.V.H.D.Central Institute Of Home Science is the only

college in Karnataka to offer Home Science Courses from Pre-University

to Ph.D, in the five areas of Home Science viz., Human Development,

Family Resource Management, Foods and Nutrition, Textiles and Clothing



and Extension Education. Recently, in 2010 the Early Childhood

Education and Administration Course was added under the umbrella of

Home Science courses. The other colleges in Bangalore offer Home

Science Courses at the Undergraduate level. Therefore the design and

development of the curriculum is carried out by the BOS constituted in

this college as per university guidelines. The University supports major

revisions after every three years for Undergraduate and post graduate

Courses. Recently, keeping in tune with with the UGC guidelines, the

University has introduced the Choice based credit system for both the UG

and PG Courses. The Home Science curriculum has also been revised to

follow the CBCS curriculum. Hence curriculum revision workshops were

organised for the six disciplines of Home Science in 2014.

In view of shifting the thrust of the course more in tune with the current

trends of the industrial and business job market, the Department of Family

Resource Management proposed a change in the nomenclature of the

course from M.Sc in Family Resource Management to M.Sc in Resource

Management along with a thorough change in the syllabus. Similarly, the

Department of Human Development decided to introduce a specialised

course in Early Childhood Education and Administration to cater to the

market needs for specialised early childhood professionals. The University

took a proactive step to facilitate these changes.

Institutional Support:

The institution has created a procedural and practical system for the regular

organisation and smooth conduct of the following:

Training to faculty on ICT (Information Communication Technology) for

improving the teaching-learning and knowledge management process.

Regular departmental meetings to address issues that teachers come across

during curriculum transactions in classrooms.

Administration of Student’s Teacher Evaluation Form (STEF) in every

semester



Periodic PTA meetings to collect feedback from parents

The faculty members are encouraged to participate in faculty development

programs such as refresher courses, seminars, conferences, symposiums

and workshops conducted by the Academic colleges, institutes and other

universities.

The library is well stocked with reference/textbooks and journals.

INFLIBNET /N List services is made available for faculty and students

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by theinstitution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on theCurriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutoryagency.

Smt.VHD Central Institute of Home Science has put in place certain

procedures to ensure the effective delivery and transaction of the curriculum

approved by the University. They include the following:

Annual planning and evaluation sessions first at the departmental level and

later at institutional level

Assigning topics of contemporary relevance and significance for

assignments and seminars

Providing latest books, journals and other materials, including ICT enabled

library support.

Organising seminars, workshops and conferences every year on issues and

themes related to the curriculum and at the same time having

contemporary relevance and importance. Besides their participation,

students play an active role in the organization and conduct of these

seminars.

The 8 day residence stay offered by the Department of Resource

Management for the final year undergraduate students supported by the

final year PG resource management students as Peer mentors, offer the

students intra, interpersonal along managerial and life skills equipping

them for the outside world and job market



The Departments of Human Development, Resource Management,

Extension Education & Communication, and Early Childhood Education

&Administration offers a foundation course for those students who join

the course from a non- Home Science, non – psychology and Non

Education background.

All the Departments undertake ongoing exposure / field / industrial visits

supplementing their curriculum.

Complementary co-curricular enhancement programs like Global shapers,

Vikasana, Hossa Hejje, Naipunya Nidhi (organised by the Department of

Collegiate, Government of Karnataka), CRY participation activities and so

on.

Enrolment into the National Service Scheme. The active involvement of

students in the community, particularly during the seven days rural live in

camp, equips them with lessons for life which the classroom probably is

not capable of doing.

The Department of Kannada conducts Nudi Habba as an enhancement

programme to sensitise students to their cultural roots.

Peer mentoring system connects the advanced learners with the slow

learners and the students with the alumni of the college as external

mentors.

Students, under the guidance of the faculty members, organize

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



Smt.VHD Central Institute of Home Science enjoys autonomy in the framing

of the curriculum as we are the leading/Parent college for offering Home

Science education in the State.

In designing the curriculum we incorporate issues of contemporary

relevance and in tune with the guidelines provided by the university.

All the Home Science teaching faculty contribute substantially to the

periodic revision and update of the curriculum as directed by the

University.

The Home Science departments organise and conduct the revision

workshops in which representatives from the related areas actively

participate.

Later, the revised curricula are taken through the process of approval and

sanction by the BOS in Home Science. The Chairperson and BOS

members are from the Institution itself, with a representation of members

from all the Departments of Home Science. The BOS is appointed by the

University and also has representation of external members from different

Universities and Departments of Home Science.

The BOS then forwards its recommendations to the University where it is

placed before the academic council for approval. The academic council

after scrutiny forwards the syllabus to the syndicate, which then forwards

it to the Government for approval.

In 2014 the University introduced the credit based system (CBS) wherein

in the different departments of Home Science made major changes in the

syllabi.

The BOS Chairmanship is for a period of three years and is on rotation

basis.

Also our Faculty from non Home Science courses are nominated to the

BOS in their respective subjects.

The Government of Karnataka had directed the University to introduce

“Mrudhu Koushalya” (Soft skills) training at all UG courses from the

coming academic year, i.e 2014-15, in order to train students in creative



ability and capability skills and make them employable after completing

their Degree Courses. Four life skills were identified. Dr.H.C Ramanna,

Principal of the college was nominated as member to frame the syllabus

and scheme of examination for the paper “Society, Culture and Diversity”,

while Dr.Rajalakshmi, Coordinator- Early Childhood Education and

Administration Program, was nominated as member to frame the syllabus

and scheme of examination for the papers “Science & Society”/ “Science

If ‘yes’, give details on the process (‘Needs Assessment’, design, development and planning) and the courses for which the curriculum has been developed?

Yes, the institution has developed curricula for a few courses other than

the curriculum provided by the University.

1. Foundation Course: Many non Home Science students evinced a keen

interest in Home Science subjects and expressed a desire to study the

subject. Also, before initiating the curriculum development of UGC

sponsored Early Childhood Education and Administration programme, a

survey was conducted, which revealed that graduates from different



programs work as early childhood Educators. Hence, it was envisaged

that this course along with other Home Science courses be open to non

Home Science students, by offering a bridge course in the subject. Thus

the Departments of Human Development, resource Management,

Extension Education & Communication and Early Childhood Education

& Administration developed a bridge course for the each of the subjects

mentioned above.

2. AWAKE:

3. Skills for success: A program organised by the Department of Human

1.2.3 Give details on the various institutional provisions with reference to academic flexibility and how it has been helpful to students in terms of skills development, academic mobility, progression to higher studies and improved potential for employability

The Institution offers UG programs in BA, B.Sc, B.Com, BBM, FAD and

BCA. It offers PG programs in the six disciplines of Home Science and

MA Sociology. Ph.D Courses are offered in the five disciplines of Home



Science viz Human Development, Resource Management, Food and

Nutrition, Textiles & Clothing and Extension Education &

Communication.

The College has recommended and sent a proposal to the

Bangalore University for the PG course in Early Childhood Education and

Administration to be recognised as a research centre, so that students can

pursue their doctoral degree in this specialisation also.

English is a compulsory language and as elective language students can

choose to study Kannada, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, and Telugu.

Although under the affiliation system, the Bangalore University does not

permit flexibility for students to move from one discipline to another,

credit transfer and accumulation facility, lateral and vertical mobility

within and across programs and courses, it does provide a carryover

system wherein a student can progress to the next semester even if she has

not cleared all the papers in the previous semester.

To a certain extent the Home Science course is so structured that a student

pursuing the Undergraduate program in Composite Home Science can

progress to any PG specialisation in Home Science. Students from

interdisciplinary subjects can also enter the PG specialisation. For example

a student who has pursued an UG study in Psychology can enter the Post

graduate study in Human Development.

A Student who is pursuing BA Home Science as one optional can enter

the PG program in Human Development, Resource Management,

Extension Education & Communication, Early childhood Education &

Administration, Sociology, Psychology and Economics.

Similarly a student Pursuing B.Sc Home Science as one optional can

pursue PG program in all the six disciplines of Home Science, Chemistry,

Zoology and Botany.

Also, the Home Science courses are so structured that they are

interdisciplinary in nature in terms of curricula and syllabi.



The professional training approach where a student is placed to job

shadow a professional, case study approach, organised and systematic

industrial and field visits, interaction with professionals in the field have

been particularly helpful to the students in terms of skill development.

Enhancement programmes such ass foundation course, exposure to

workshops, seminars, conferences, panel discussions on topics of

academic and social significance has also empowered our students.

Lab to land approach where interactive learning happens in the

community.

1.2.4 Does the institution offer self-finance programmes? If ‘yes’, list them and

indicate how they differ from other programmes, with reference to admission,

curriculum, fee structure, teacher qualification, salary etc.The Institution does not offer self-finance programmes.

1.2.5 Does the college provide additional skill oriented programmes, relevant toregional and global employment markets? If ‘yes’, provide details of such programme and the beneficiaries.

The Department of Collegiate Education (DCE), Government of Karnataka

has taken the initiative to introduce students to additional skill oriented

programmes. Thus, the college offers additional skill oriented programmes

relevant to regional and global employment markets. Programs like

Sahayog, Vikasana, Manavathe, Global shapers, Skills for success,

entrepreneurial skill development programmes are all organised with the

specific aim of enhancing the competency of the students for the regional

and global job market. Also the Bangalore University under direction from

the Government of Karnataka has introduced “Mrudhu Koushalya” (Soft

skills) training at all UG courses from the coming academic year, i.e 2014-

15, in order to train students in creative ability and capability skills and

make them employable after completing their Degree Courses.



Some of our students of the recent batches who are employed at Apparel

training Design Centre, K.Mohan’s, Aravind Mills, ICICI, Shahi Exports

etc as merchandiser, trainers, HR managers, bear witness to the fact that

Smt.VHD Central institute of Home Science’s academic training does equip

the students for regional and global job markets.

Our students also are gainfully employed as fashion designers, dieticians,

educationists etc at well established organisations

1.2.6 Does the University provide for the flexibility of combining the conventional face-to-face and Distance Mode of Education for students to choose the courses/combination of their choice? If ‘yes’ how does the institution take advantage of such provision for the benefit of students?

foster life skills and provide skills for employment.

Community services/extension activities: The NSS actively the

community services program. Extension activities are embedded into the

Home Science curriculum. Some of the extension activities carried out by

the various departments of the college are Train the Trainers by the ECEA

department, AWAKE program by the department of Human Development

to name a few.

1.3.5 Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback fromstakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

The Institution makes use of the feedback from various stakeholders in

enriching the curriculum in the subsequent syllabus revision workshops of

the respective departments in Home Science, in which almost all the faculty

participate and in the workshops organised organized by the University for

non Home Science subjects.

Feedback received from the students has been instrumental in making

paradigm shift in research as it received more focused attention which

eventually led to the creation of a Research Centre. The research centre is

involved in monitoring the research activities of the Institute.

The suggestions from the employers in the market and the alumni also

lead to revision/remodification in the curriculum being offered. For

example in the ECEA course, employers expressed that students could be

given more hands on training in curriculum development for early years,

to make them more employable in the early childhood learning centres.



Paying heed to this suggestion, the curriculum was modified to offer a

project work on curriculum development for one whole semester, and at

an advanced level in the following semester.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes?

The Institution monitors and evaluates the quality of its enrichment

programmes through the following mechanisms:

Reviews and evaluation by students and other stake holders

Evaluation by the faculty in the Departmental meetings

1.4. Feedback System

1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of the curriculum prepared by the University?

The Institution plays a Principal role in the design and development of thee

Home Science curriculum.

Curriculum revisions are organised by the University every three years.

Smt.VHD Central Institute of Home Science conducts department wise

revision workshops for the Home Science subjects.

All the Home science faculty participate in the curriculum revision

workshops in their respective departments. They contribute to the revised

curriculum based on the feedback they gather from the stakeholders-

students, alumni, NGOs, industries and so on.

Later, when the revised curriculum is taken through the process of

approval and sanction of the BOS and later the Faculty of Science, VHD

plays a crucial role as several faculty members are also members of the

Faculty of Science, and hence invited to the meeting either as Chairperson

or members.

1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and stakeholders on Curriculum? If ‘yes’, how is it communicated to



the University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes? Yes, the institution has formal mechanisms to obtain feedback from students

and stakeholders on curriculum. They include the following:

Students: At the end of ever semester, and informally during

departmental interactios

Parents: At PTA meetings

Alumni: Periodical alumni executive meetings.

Periodical Meetings of the industries, business organizations, NGOs,

institutions, field work, either by respective individual faculty or

departments

Feedback from guest faculty, academicians and professionals.

The feedback thus collected from various stakeholders are brought in for

discussion at different levels in the institution – department, in the

University-, faculty council, academic councils and decisions on the

changes/revisions are drawn.

The proposed revisions are then taken up at the time of the curriculum

revision

workshops of the respective departments of Home Science organized by the

Institute on directions from the University.

The finalised curriculum is brought before the various bodies like the BOS,

Faculty of Science, Academic Council and the Syndicate for approval.

Staff Council (general assembly of teaching staff)

Utilization of the Data

The data are used for helping the students concerned depending on the nature

of the problem and are addressed at different levels:

At the Department Level: Teachers usually provide personal guidance to

students who encounter problems. Some of them experience difficulties in

studies due to lack of ability to adapt with the environment in the college.

Slow learners are given special support by the teachers by taking time with

them especially through mentoring or through emotional support.

HOD Level: Problems of potential dropouts that teachers cannot handle

individually are referred to the HOD. If this does not work, they are referred

to the Princcipal.

Counselling: Counselling service is provided to students who need it. It is

provided to those who come voluntarily or are referred to by the faculty.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these.

The college is affiliated to the Bangalore University. Therefore it follows the

academic calendar prepared by the University. Hence the college has limited

freedom in planning and organizing its academic activities.

Challenges

The lack of autonomy in academic matters. The university system present

challenges as indicated below.

These are:

Sudden changes in the exam schedule by the university

Unexpected loss of working days due to declaration of holidays by the

Government

Delay in starting and closing of admission process by the University

Recruitment of the teachers:

The Recruitment of teachers is carried out through the Karnataka Public

Service Commission (KPSC). Whenever faculty position becomes vacant it

is brought to the notice of the higher authorities. The authorities either

transfer faculty members from other Government Colleges in Karnataka, or

recruit new faculty.

Provision is also made to appoint guest faculty after indicating the need in

the workload. The Guest faculty are required to apply online, on the website

of the Department of Collegiate Education, who then release the merit list of

registered candidates. The Guest faculty is then appointed by the college

after interview and verification of documents. The existing teachers are

encouraged to update their knowledge so as to meet the changing

requirement of the curriculum.

Retention of the Teachers

Retention of the eminent faculty members has not been a serious problem

for the college. During the past five years the only staff who left our

college were on superannuation, transferred or sent on deputation.. All

teachers working here are generally considered part of the VHD family.

An example of this is the fact that a few of our teachers come back to teach

on an honorary basis even after reaching superannuation. The teachers are



given functional autonomy to discharge their duties. The college

environment, work culture, opportunities for self actualization, respect and

appreciation, freedom of expression, impartial and just dealings are key

factors that motivate faculty and staff to stay.The institution also recognizes

individual achievements and contributions of its faculty.

2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualifiesenior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)?

The strategy followed by the college for the management of new

programmes and emerging areas of study is as indicated below:

The college has got a good mixture of highly qualified experienced senior

teachers as well as junior teachers for handling most of the emerging areas

and new courses. The college also takes special care to provide inputs in

emerging areas by professionals in the field to supplement the regular

classroom teaching.

The teachers also regularly attend various courses to update themselves on

diverse issues like human rights, research methodology, curriculum

development, child rights etc.

External experts, alumni, are invited to teach modules that are technical

and specialised

community network and student engagement, contributing to good

citizenship, service orientation and holistic development of students?

The institution promotes institution-neighbourhood community network

through the following activities

National Service Scheme



The NSS coordinator and students adopt an area (Slum or economically

backward) and organize our NSS camp and activities to develop the

community. Students are oriented and trained to acquire the necessary

attitude for service and equipped with adequate skills and knowledge to

conduct various social awareness programmes such as cleanliness, safe

water, save energy, Effects of alcoholism, Human Rights, Rights of women

etc.

The NSS unit of the college conducts a 10 day camp every year and

volunteers are divided into different committees to undertake the projects

such as survey, Health check up camp, Income Generating Courses, Self

defence Programme and Awareness workshops which immensely

benefitted the local community.

Department of Extension Educationand Communication as part of the

curriculum conduct extension activities like sensitisation to Gender

equality, teaching slow learners at Municipal Schools to reduce school

dropouts etc. Projects undertaken by students helped to increase the literacy

rate of the community. Through projects students give information about

various career opportunities to the young pupils in the community and

orient them towards economic empowerment. Projects are also under taken

by students on topics like problems of HIV, AIDS, Alcoholism, Problem of

Senior Citizens and Physically Challenged People ,Problems of

marginalised population like Construction workers and other Labourers,

Pulse Polio, Human Rights, Domestic Violence, Corruption , dowry etc.

practical component in the UG and PG Curriculum.

3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students’ involvement in

various social movements / activities which promote citizenship roles?

During their academic life in the institution, the students are sensitized to

various social issues and movements through studied and in-depth inputs,

guided exposure visits and organized interactions with eminent social

activists. In the recent years our students have got many chances to be

involved in various social concerns such as rallies for social causes, Pulse

Polio program, medical camps, distribution of health cards for construction

workers. Students are also motivated to collaborate with NGOs and join

Public action groups. In all these activities, members of the faculty monitor

and coordinate. They also accompany them during camps, campaigns and

rallies.

The institution takes special efforts to enlighten the students to develop a

balanced perspective through discussions, debates and talks by experts and

in some cases through workshops. When students return to the campus, the

institution or the departments concerned organize reflection sessions and

write reports which enable the students to assimilate their experience of

their involvement in various social movements and struggles. Students also

make presentations or share experience when they are sent out to participate

in sessions/seminars on social issues. Thus tracking students’ involvement

in various social movements and activities, which promote citizenship roles,

becomes smooth and easy.

7.3 BEST PRACTICES:

7.3.1: Elaborate on any two best practices followed by your college, which have contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

BEST PRACTICE -I

1. Title of the Practice : Naadu mathu Nudi Habba (Celebrating Kannada

Culture)

2. Goal:

To create awareness about the richness of the Kannada language,

imbibe the spirit of national integration; create orientation towards

native culture and traditions so as to enable holistic wellbeing and

good citizenry among the students.

To provide an opportunity for the students to meet and interact with

eminent literary personalities.



3.The Context

Naadu mathu Nudi Habba is being organized by the Kannada Sangha in

collaboration with Students’ Cultural Association. It is a week long

celebration that marks Kannada Rajyotsava Day (State formation Day)

aided by fanfare and cultural extravaganza. The activities and celebrations

create a sense of camaraderie, cultural pride and traditional ethos. When

students engage in such events, they are challenged, inspired and they learn

important lessons about the world and the humanity.

Kannada which is one of the oldest Indian languages has a range of genres

that provide the kannadigas a fabulous feast of writings. But the present

student population shows little interest in these masterpieces. Hence the

Faculty and Principal along with the student representatives of Kannada

Sangha conceptualized this practice to sensitize the present student

population. Great care was taken to plan and implement this program in a

manner that was appealing and enjoyable.

4.The Practice

The celebrations begin with the hoisting of the Kannada Flag and rendition

of the Naada Geethe- the State Song. Students dress in their ethnic best, the

college is decorated in a traditional manner to create a desi atmosphere. The

scene of a village fair is recreated with a potter at work, a bangle seller and

stalls of traditional arts and crafts. Competitions are held in rangoli drawing,

singing folk songs, theatre activities, poem recitation and debates during

this event. Special artistes are invited to perform traditional forms of

Karnataka folk dance like Dollu kunitha, Pooja Kunitha and thamate which

lend a vibrant touch to the celebrations. Authentic rural Karnataka cuisine

of ragi balls, kosambari and lentil sambar are served on this occasion.

Eminent literary personalities and artistes are invited as resource persons.

Dr. Siddalingaiah, Sri. Vatal Nagaraj and Dr. Malathi Pattanshetty are some

of the resource persons invited.



This practice is unique in the Indian higher education scenario, where we

are witnessing the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in

society. Organizing such events in the college campus fosters an outlook

which requires assimilation, synthesis and retention of what is valuable, and

adaptation to the present rather than wholesome rejection of values of

Indian culture and tradition. It is an attempt to harmonize tradition and

modernization orientations of college students. The changing times that we

live in and the new challenges ahead require that we prepare our youth to

develop their own creative ways to respond to modernisation as well as

retain their original character of being part of the Indian culture, which can

be achieved through such practices.

5.Evidence of Success

It sensitizes the students to appreciate the rich heritage and culture of

Karnataka.

Traditional Arts forms are exhibited to create a ‘connect’ between

the native culture and the modern day students

The spirit of modernity, rationalism and scientific temper to which

the students are exposed to everyday are subtly allowed to blend

with the cultural traditions, rural ethos and a sense of pride is created

for the tradition.

Rural art forms which are slowly disappearing are not only

encouraged to flourish, but conceived on the campus in such a way

that they motivate the students to learn them and practice them.

Respect for native artists, ability to appreciate the traditional art

forms and the need to feel proud of our tradition, culture and

language are imbibed through these efforts.

The importance of traditional food, the method of preparation and

the goodness of ‘wellness’ and ‘well being’ through these are

created among the students who are going gaga over ‘instant’ and

‘junk’.



‘Desi’ ethos is created to appreciate the goodness of it and move

away from the harmful western practices that do more harm than

good to Indian food, life style, culture and tradition.

The program is highly appreciated by students and staff members.

Students of neighbouring colleges also participate in these events.

Parents too join the events thereby witnessing the metamorphosis

among their children through these festivities.

6.Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Roping in the artists who are very busy and in great demand

Semester system creates very little space for week-long festivities

Sensitize the need for such a celebration among the students, a few

of whom come from highly urbane ethos and have no inclination for

rural practices.

Financial resources are scarce and to plan the festivities on a grand

scale is a limitation

Management of the festivities on a grand scale is a hardship

camaraderie, cultural pride and traditional ethos. When students engage in such

events, they are challenged, inspired and they learn important lessons about the

world and the humanity.

Kannada which is one of the oldest Indian languages has a range of genres that

provide the Kannadigas a fabulous feast of writings. But the present student

population shows little interest in these masterpieces. Hence the Faculty and

Principal along with the student representatives of Kannada Sangha

conceptualized this practice to sensitize the present student population. Great care

was taken to plan and implement this program in a manner that was appealing and

enjoyable.

4. The Practice

The celebrations begin with the hoisting of the Kannada Flag and rendition of the

Naada Geethe- the State Song. Students dress in their ethnic best, the college is

decorated in a traditional manner to create a desi atmosphere. The scene of a



village fair is recreated with a potter at work, a bangle seller and stalls of

traditional arts and crafts. Competitions are held in rangoli drawing, singing folk

songs, theatre activities, poem recitation and debates during this event. Special

artistes are invited to perform traditional forms of Karnataka folk dance like Dollu

kunitha, Pooja Kunitha and thamate which lend a vibrant touch to the

celebrations. Authentic rural Karnataka cuisine of ragi balls, kosambari and lentil

sambar are served on this occasion. Eminent literary personalities and artistes are

invited as resource persons. Dr. Siddalingaiah, Sri. Vatal Nagaraj and Dr. Malathi

Pattanshetty are some of the resource persons invited.

This practice is unique in the Indian higher education scenario, where we are

witnessing the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in society.

Organizing such events in the college campus fosters an outlook which requires

assimilation, synthesis and retention of what is valuable, and adaptation to the

present rather than wholesome rejection of values of Indian culture and tradition.

It is an attempt to harmonize tradition and modernization orientations of college

students. The changing times that we live in and the new challenges ahead require

that we prepare our youth to develop their own creative ways to respond to

modernisation as well as retain their original character of being part of the Indian

culture, which can be achieved through such practices.

5.Evidence of Success

It sensitizes the students to appreciate the rich heritage and culture of Karnataka.

Traditional Arts forms are exhibited to create a ‘connect’ between the native culture and the modern day students

The spirit of modernity, rationalism and scientific temper to which the students are exposed to everyday are subtly allowed to blend with the cultural traditions, rural ethos and a sense of pride is created for the tradition.



Rural art forms which are slowly disappearing are not only encouraged to flourish, but conceived on the campus in such a way that they motivate the students to learn them and practice them.

Respect for native artists, ability to appreciate the traditional art forms and the need to feel proud of our tradition, culture and language are imbibed through these efforts.

The importance of traditional food, the method of preparation and the goodness of ‘wellness’ and ‘well being’ through these are created among the students who are going gaga over ‘instant’ and ‘junk’.

‘Desi’ ethos is created to appreciate the goodness of it and move away from the harmful western practices that do more harm than good to Indian food, life style, culture and tradition.

The program is highly appreciated by students and staff members. Students of neighbouring colleges also participate in these events.

Parents too join the events thereby witnessing the metamorphosis among their children through these festivities.

6.Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Roping in the artists who are very busy and in great demand

Semester system creates very little space for week-long festivities

Sensitize the need for such a celebration among the students, a few of whom come from highly urbane ethos and have no inclination for rural practices.

Financial resources are scarce and to plan the festivities on a grand scale is a limitation

Management of the festivities on a grand scale is a hardship

Strength: Good placement opportunities for the graduates and post graduates of the

department.

Active participation in research activities. Well qualified faculty with willingness to take challenging assignments. Recognized research centre with 11 Ph. D scholars working in the

To orient towards food and nutrition in the student community where the aptitude towards home science learning is on the decline.

Future Plans To conduct professional training and research programmes in various areas



for the benefit of students.To conduct seminars, symposium and conferences on a regular basis.

36 SWOCanalysisofthedepartmentandFutureplans :Strengths: Only Government college to offer B.Sc FAD Course with very less fees



One of the Faculty member has 2 Patents to her credit One Research Scholar has received grants from DST UG and PG Course leads to an excellent Job opportunity. Internship and field visits improves practical knowledge Collaboration with various premier research institutions like GSKSJTI,

KSSRDI, Weavers Service Centre, Textile Committee, Reach CAD for pursuing research interests of the faculty and students and also enhance the skill development for the students

ICT enabled class rooms Recognized as Research centre by Bangalore University Students are exposed to invited lectures by academicians and field experts Remedial classes for slow learners

Weaknesses: Lack of Permanent Teacher Lack of infrastructure and need more Laboratories

Opportunity The institution offers courses for downstream level and trains the students to

undertake jobs both in industries and education institution Ability to improve the current infrastructure to accommodate training, teaching

and research requirements To strengthen Capacity Building of Women and to promote the ideology of Self

Help GroupChallenges To motivate final year undergraduate students towards Career and Post

graduation studies To develop more linkages with industries To get financial assistance for research projects from various funding agencies

Future Plans In the next five years collaborate with other universities, foreign institutions to

strengthen the course

A total of 75 Special lectures have been organised for the students from 2011 to Date

Six Panel discussions have been organised on subject related topics




Self learning and peer learning is encouraged among students. Apart from classroom lectures, students are given assignments on related topics. The assignments may be either group or individual assignments. Students are expected to make a classroom presentation of the assignment as well as turn in a soft copy for evaluation.

As far as possible, hands on experiences are provided to students in the form of project work and practical work to enhance classroom learning.

Professional training is embedded into the curriculum to enable students to experience the actual work environment.

As a part of the internal assessment, students are expected to read the newspapers every day, and collect subject related topics for presentation and discussion in the classroom.

Subject related activities like participation in CRY (Child Rights and You) volunteering programs are actively encouraged among the students.

35 ParticipationinInstitutionalSocialResponsibility(ISR)andExtensionactivitiesThe ECEA course teaching staff and students have actively and enthusiastically participated in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and extension activities. The noteworthy activities worth mentioning are:

Conducted three training programmes for women who have initiated Centres of Early Childhood Care and Education in Bangalore Urban, Ramanagar and Channapatna in collaboration with the NGO, Prajayatna, Bangalore in April – June 2013.

Conducted a training program for master trainers of the Community Development Foundation team of Kalike (Initiative by Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Navabji Ratan Tata Trust) on the topic “Nutrition and Pre-school activities for Master trainers” from 25-11-2013 to 30-11-2013.

36 SWOCanalysisofthedepartmentandFutureplans :Strengths:

Good support from the UGC, Government of Karnataka, Bangalore University and the Institution by recognising this course and facilitating the institution of the course in 2011.

Dedicated staff and students with a passion to see the course grow, as they firmly believe that the course is the need of the hour today.

Need for qualified and specialized ECEA professionals in the field for immediate employment indicating a good demand for the subject.

ECEA students go in for paid internships and the employers are ready to absorb the students for employment on a regular basis at the end of their



course completion.Weaknesses:

Not many are aware of the course being offered. Being a Government institution, a stigma is attached to the college and hence

students from private colleges are hesitant to take up the courseOpportunities

The ECEA course will become an independent Department after the completion of five years of offering the course.

Potential to become a Centre for studies in early childhood Development and Education.

Job opportunities in the early childhood market are plenty for students graduating from the course.

A rich opportunity is available for students to become self employed as entrepreneurs.

Challenges Faced within the institution where active negative marketing is happening

from certain sections to dissuade students to taking up the course. Marketing the course so that more and more students take up the course for

study. Bring in visibility to the course, as today the course has visibility only by

word of mouth and through students who have graduated from the course and found it beneficial.

Future Plans In the next five years collaborate with other universities, industries, foreign

institutions to offer courses. In another five years we would like to be recognised as a research centre for

studies in early childhood education. Bring in externally funded projects to the department. Become a centre/Department recognised at the national level for the quality

of programs being offered.
