PREFACE

M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya, Nalbari, is a premier institution of higher education for girls

in one of the traditionally enlightened and sensitive districts of Assam. It was established on

08-07-1979 solely with the liberal charity of a great philanthropist of our locality, Late

Mahendra Narayan Choudhury. It has an ideal location in the very heart of the town and is

linked by road and rail with the rest of the country. The College has taken all possible steps

for promoting higher education specially among the girls so as to mould them into

responsible citizens of the country and better human beings.

Our college is committed to all round growth of girl students. It believes that learning should

address all the four criteria – to know, to do, to be and to live together. In contrast to flippant

attitude it would foster a sense of responsibility and strive to bring home the significance of

social commitment, ethical values and liberal spirit in educational system. Keeping in view

the economic and socio-cultural panorama of the region, it will endeavor to help students to

face the challenges of the new world order.

The college rapidly underwent a phase of expansion both vertically and horizontally. The

introduction of new courses and construction of new administrative block has given a new

dimension providing quality higher education to girl students.

In course of its glorious journey, M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya, Nalbari has reached many a

mile stone and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council accredited the College

with „B++‟ grade in 2004. Recognizing the academic excellence and achievements of the

student community, in 2006 UGC has recognized the college as a “College with Potential for

Excellence” status.

With great pleasure we submit our Re-Accreditation Report recording our progress,

analyzing our strength, weakness, opportunities and challenges. We are proud to present the

outstanding achievements of our students, staff and alumnae during the post accreditation

period.

The college has completed 37 glorious years as a pioneering institution in the entire Lower

Assam, dedicated to the higher education of women. This institution has been a temple of

learning and stood out as a beacon of knowledge for generations of young women. From the

humble beginning as school, it was elevated to the status of a college and striving

continuously, underwent rapid transformation, as a centre of excellence. Still the college has a

lot of distance to cover to impart the best education among the girl students.

VISION AND MISSION

Vision





the economic and socio-cultural panorama of the region, it will endeavor to help students to


Mission

To make every student employable through holistic education and development of right

skills

To emerge as a centre of academic excellence and research

To focus on personality development of each student through development of positive

attitude, leadership qualities and self-awareness

To produce young women who, along with being job-skilled, are adept to address the

larger issues of life and become effective in building a strong and modern India

To actively respond to the momentous issues of our society and socio-political

environment of the world.

To reach out to the less-privileged and deserving sections of our society and lend a

helping hand to them

To inculcate national spirit and respect for our culture among our students and society

at large.

The vision and mission of the Institution is communicated to the students, teachers and other

stakeholders through the college prospectus and the college website.

The goals and objectives are made known to the stakeholders through the meeting with

Students, Parents, Alumnae, Extension Service, Organization and the Media.

Curricular Aspect

As an affiliated college under Gauhati University we implement the curricula of the

University. Semester system replacing the annual system of evaluation was introduced in

2011 with the expectation that it would be in the better interest of the learners and for better

and quicker evaluation. To make the new system successful understanding the nuances of the

new model was important. We have been part of the various brains storming sessions carried

out by the University. We also ensured that the outcome of these discussions percolate down

to the faculty and other stakeholders. The IQAC, in collaboration with the College Academic

Council, strategized the implementation of the remodeled curricula in discussion with

respective department‟s heads. Course content is distributed much before a new session

5


begins. There is provision to shuffle and redistribution of papers/chapters to ensure curricular

progression and teaching learning dynamics.

Teachers had been delegated to various curriculum related events organized by the

University. We have also been hosting university resource persons at the college from time to

time for better learning outcome under the semester system. Student‟s centric programmes,

discussions, counseling sessions are arranged to help learners transition to the semester

system and optimize learner outcome. To supplement the skill gaps in the curricula we have

introduced Certificate Course. A basic computing course under C-DAC (A Govt. of India

concern) called CMOA is made mandatory for all first year students keeping in mind the

importance of information technology.

We make efforts to drive home the paint that everything is related to everything else. This

convergence is more obvious in humanities and social science. It offers us the opportunity of

assigning classes of one department in another department. For example the History teacher is

going to Pol. Science for teaching and an Economics teachers taking up few classes in Pol.

Science. In a humble way we try to experiment with inter-disciplinarily to help broader the

mental horizon of the learners.

Teaching-learning & Evaluation

Student admission is based on the twin strategy of merit and social inclusiveness. At the

Major level most departments take in students through entrance test and by interview method.

The basic idea behind is to ascertain aptitude of students for a particular subject and to

minimize wastage of valuable time. The electives too are awarded on the basis of merit.

In deference to the founder‟s vision of social inclusion for girls/women we accept all

applicants for admission. Since such admissions are academically and predominantly weak in

socio-economic parameters, these students are targeted for special counseling on selective

Sundays and on other holidays. Academically advanced students to get advanced care under

differential stream. Leading teachers from outside the college are invited as visiting faculty to

bring in new perspective to teaching learning. Brighter students are allowed wider access to

library resource through Achiever‟s Card (where such students can hire more books besides

what the library card allows).

ICT intervention in teaching learning is one of the priority areas keeping in view the

importance of information technology for success. Information technology has been

embedded as a mandatory provision for all first year students with the provision of positive

intervention where socio-economically weaker sections are concerned. Classrooms are made

digitally compatible for teaching learning and teachers are encouraged to use them. A Digital

Language Lab, first of its kind in the North East, has been established to bridge the language

gap of the learners vis. a vis. English.

Recently a Digital Library is installed in the college for students, faculty and research

scholars to access library resources through digital media. This library will go on stream once

digitization work is over.

We are planning to upload learning resources on Tablet PCs and issue them to students and

faculty like they are issued books. Students are also allowed access to Internet Cafe free of

cost. The teaching-learning is supplemented by a wide variety of co-scholastic, cultural and

6


extension activities resulting in a rich haul of awards in Youth Festivals and other such

competitions. We also have domain-based certificate course which try, in a modest way, to

bridge the skill-gap in the given curriculum. We have been collaborating with leading

institutions like Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship, NGOs, Banks, Govt. Agencies to impart

training to crate skilled, employable work force.

We have sent consent letter to the Skills Development Council for introduction of parallel

skill training programs in partnership with trainer organizations. Environmental Studies being

a mandatory subject we are executing on SLRM (Solid and Liquid Resource Management)

Centre, which will not only create an environmental eco-system in the college but drive home

the significance of environment to students and parents at large. Creating resources out of

waste itself is an idea that we cherish and take up programme to help this percolate down to

the learners.

All these and many other such programs create an enabling environment without diluting the

scholastic programme of the college. The fundamental thrust being to devise and deliver

programme in a manner that help the learners. „To know, To Do and To Be‟, it is imperative

to supplement „knowing‟ (Scholastic/academic) with „doing‟ (enabling/practical) component

alongside with „becoming‟ (growth of individuality, personality in sync with one‟s

environment) facet. To achieve this, an Academic Calendar is planned ahead of the new

session in accordance with the University guidelines with enough flexibility to tweak or

include a programme when necessary.

Shutdowns, strikes, floods being endemic to this part of India we try to make up the loss of

teaching days through special counseling sessions, coaching classes during some holidays

and on selective Sundays. All such classes are arranged in consultation with and mostly at the

request of the target group.

Research, Consultancy and Extension

Taking the meaning and significance of „Research‟ to the stakeholders is one of the priority

areas with this institution. For fulfilling this Symposia/Seminar/Group discussions etc. are

made a weekly affaire by embedding them in the routine. Students are given orientation in

research methodology in a rudimentary way. They are asked to write their assignments in

accordance with the given research method. This is particularly so in Environmental Studies,

a mandatory subject, where students are required to submit a project on issues of environment

touching their lives. Students and faculty are also encouraged to prepare seminar papers to be

presented at seminars. In 2014 we sent students of History to the world Heritage site called

Majuli to present papers and participate in a seminar there. We have also sent our students to

Archaeological Institution of India and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Besides

studying about India‟s ancient heritage they participated in a presentation on Historiography.

A faculty member completing an RC/OP/STC is required to make a presentation before

faculty and students on the salient points of the course. This is a modest attempt at helping

research culture percolate down to the stakeholders, especially students. The same is required

of a teacher awarded with a Ph.D. degree.

As a result of the healthy research ambience more than 60% of the permanent faculties are

research degree holders. This is amply helped by the support system available in the

institution. Various departments bring out research journals which showcase the academic

7


and intellectual resources of the college. Resource crunch makes things difficult for the

journals to come out on a regular, yearly basis.

Infrastructure & Learning Resources

Infrastructure holds the key to effective implementation and realization of the vision and

mission of the institution. There is a growing need for infrastructure as new academic

programmes are added. Besides it is an imperative to respond to the demands of a highly

digitized world. As such the old Assamese structures are gradually dismantled and new three-

storey structures are being created. Located in the middle of an urban area there is little scope

for horizontal growth. Vertical growth is the only way forward to augment growing demands

for physical infrastructure.

Various facilities are still under construction at this point of time. The dismantling was

necessitated by flooding and water-logging. A major part of the construction cost is borne by

the college from funds generated by various self functioning programmes. Information

Technology being key ingredient of growth today, we have been trying to keep pace with the

emerging needs by augmenting and upgrading ICT component

Digital Language Lab.: First of its kind in the entire North East was installed in 2009 English,

particularly the communicative aspect, is weak link in the success of young people in Assam.

The Language Lab is an honest attempt at bridging the skill-gap.

This Lab was created with an amount of Rupees six lakhs from the UGC. The major portion

about 20 lakhs, was invested by the college.

A spacious computer Lab: With about 50 computers, conducts various computer courses

including the basic mandatory computer course called CMOA. The P.G. Diploma in

Computer Application course too is conducted here besides courses in the distance mode

under Gauhati University and K.K. Handique State Open University.

An Internet Cafe With ten access points, is serving the online requirement is of our students.

Access to the Internet Café is free which helps the socio-economically challenged students‟

access to the net resources.

A modern 100 seater conference Hall has been serving the requirements of stakeholders,

NGOs and Govt. organization since long. It houses the Internal Broadcasting system. The

idea behind the system was to augment the woeful inadequacy of permanent teaching hands.

All Major classrooms are made digital compatible with lecturers equipped with speakers,

Multi Media Projectors and screens. Departments are provided with Desktop and Laptop to

encourage ICT component in teaching learning. All the departments have internet facility.

The Health Club arranges Yoga Sessions, talks by specialists on health related issues.

Students are issued health cards under a collaborative arrangement to keep tabs on students‟

health. A modern gym is there for the health conscious students. Housed in an old structure,

the room gets flooded in the rainy season. This will be shifted to a new location once

infrastructure is ready.

For the physically, especially visually challenged students, we are intervening positively to

creating humane system for them.

8


Student Support & Progression

The college envisions an education that educates, enables and helps to develop individually

the learners in an atmosphere of inclusivity. Provision for systemic interventions and support

are embedded into the functioning of the college which helps holistic growth. For example

we have introduced a few certificate courses that help supplement the skill gap in the given

Curriculum. Communication skill, especially in English, is critical to employability in a

system that prioritizes the mother tongue. The Certificate course in communication skill tries

to address the issues through the practice of English for real life situation, body language and

such other aspects.

Since basic computing skill is critical for success these days we have introduced the

Mandatory basic computer course CMOA with a MoU with C-DAC, a Govt. of India

Concern. Through this arrangement we deliver the computer learning package on a highly

subsidized rate with provision for writing off the fee partly or fully for economically

disadvantaged students.

Students with brilliant academic achievements get financial support during admissions. They

are issued Achiever‟s Card which allows them greater access to library resources above and

over what their library Card allows.

The socio-economic disadvantaged, not covered any scholarship schemes, too get

concessions during the time of admissions and form fill ups. Students with good sporting

talent are admitted on the basis of their testimonials in sport and games.

Inclusivity being one of the driving mottos with this institution they are treated with great

sensitivity. We try to create as humane an atmosphere as possible for them to have equal

access to education and co-scholastic areas. Visually challenged students are provided

accommodation within the campus closer to basic amenities / facilities. A caretaker is

provided specially for these learners. Students enrolled under reserved categories get both

scholastic and co-scholastic support through various interventions like scholarship, special

academic counseling and employable skill training.

Traditionally our students exhibit an uncanny knack for cultural activities like song, dance,

music and acting. A few of our students are in acting in films and televisions serials. Five /

Six students are professional singers. Our students have been doing remarkably well in youth

festivals of the University. In the last five Youth festivals our students have brought about 20

medals, most of them are gold. Besides one of our students, who is visually challenged has

brought laurels in music by winning few state level competitions.

Our endeavor has always been to fine tune the latent talent of students in cultural and creative

field. Experts in music are invited to impart training to students interested in and showing

talent for music. This support is yielding results in various state level competitions.

Recently a workshop on Designing was conducted in collaboration with an Apparel

professional group. Output of the workshop was displayed and a fashion show called Miss

Nalbari Attitude, was organized. It was a huge draw. The event show-cased of our students.

Internationally acclaimed director Jahnu Baruah conducted a two day Film Festival which

included sessions hone Camera Work and Film Appreciation. It provided ample

opportunity for students to hone their acting skills.

9


A couple of our students are playing at inter state and national level meet in athletics and

Taekwondo. Their Internal assessments re-arranged to facilitate their participation in various

meets. Good sports persons are provided with training facilities in collaboration with the

associations of the district.

Though a young college M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya has alumnae at various places in

India including Delhi University, Tezpur Central University, Gauhati University and leading

colleges in Assam including Cotton College. We are proud of our alumnae and value their

diverse feedback.

We value hands an experience for our students more than the purely academic one. Various

good practices in teaching learning and co-scholastic areas creating and sustain an ambience

of support and inter-connectedness making teaching learning experience joyful and

rewarding.

Governance, Leadership and Management

Stakeholder sensitive governance practices are in place at this institution. The institutional

advancement and considerable goodwill earned over there decades owe it to governance and

leadership practices. Before and during college union election contesting candidates and

students‟ are counseled regarding elections as nursery for grooming leadership skills.

Bringing in all shades of political affiliation to the campus is strictly prohibited.

Though it is not mandated by Govt. management rules we invite students leaders,

particularly the General Secretary / Asstt. General Secretary, to the Governing Body meeting

as Special invitee. This provides student leaders an opportunity to understand issues related to

institutional objectives and goals besides engaging them in addressing problems. Besides it

also helps develop transparency vis-à-vis the primary stakeholders.

Teachers, the librarian and the administrative staff are assigned leadership roles.

Decentralization of responsibilities with accountability is helping the institution grow and

advance in a situation where we have to make do with debilitating short supply of teaching

faculty and support staff. Creating and sustaining a healthy intuitional ethos is a top priority

with this institution. Consensus and unanimity are values we try to implement in selection of

staff representatives in the Governing Body. There has never been a single election since the

last three decades to choose GB members from among the faculty and non-teaching staff. It

saves concerned persons from personal embarrassment and bruised egos. More importantly

the inter-personal communication within the institution is not negatively affected.

The Governing Body/Management, through the President, interacts with the various

stakeholders all the time and recycles them to the Principal for immediate follow up action. In

fact the Governing Body President himself is the Founder Principal of the College and

understands the dynamics of institutional growth.

Innovation & Best Practices

Innovation and best practices add value to the teaching learning experience. They are aimed

at re-informing the philosophy „Learners First‟. This has created a learners friendly system in

the institution and helped us grow academically and in co-scholastic areas. There are a

number of cells and clubs which endeavour to make the teaching learning experience as

holistic as possible.

10


Inclusive education being one of our purported goals we have admitted there visually

challenged students providing them all possible helps so that these students are

mainstreamed. All these students are provided hostel facility inside the campus, close to the

classroom and a caretaker especially for them is appointed.

These are various instruments of positive intervention embedded into the day to day

functioning of the institution for scholastically bright as well as general students.

Scholastically bright students are provided Achiever‟s Card in the Central Library. The

system helps achievers access library resources over and above the quota of books through

their library card. Advanced students are provided academic counseling during Sundays and

during selective holidays. Resource persons from different institutions are invited to bring in

new perspective and freshness to teaching learning. To supplement the skill gap in the given

courses, we have introduced certificate course related to different subjects‟ domains in the

college. One of these – CMOA, a basic computing course is made mandatory to all first year

students with a view to universalize access to information technology. Added to this is the

Digital Language Lab, which helps students have their English language skills, which has

been a road back to success in the job market.

The Digital Language Lab was created largely from resources of the college with only one

third funding from the UGC. We also have a spacious Computer Lab and Internet Café‟

(access free) to keep our students in sync with a digitized world. Fund for these facilities were

generated by the college itself. In 2015 we have installed a Digital Library with Sate Govt.

funds. The hardware is in place and digitization work is yet to be completed. We are planning

to upload learning resources on digital media like Tablet, PCs and issue them like we issue

books. Students can also access learning resources through internet / Wi-Fi with the Tablet

computers. The plan though awaits going on-stream. Multi-disciplinary is the order of the

day. All knowledge is interrelated. We have been making a few humble innovations where in

faculty of one domain take up teaching assignments in another. This brings in new

perspective to teaching learning and broadening learner and faulty outlook.

Pune to deliver Certificate, Diploma and P.G. Diploma courses in Computer Application.

Since familiarity with IT is an essential ingredient to success these days, the college has

embedded it into its academic calendar. To run this course, which is mandatory, and courses

of higher denominations we have created a large computer lab from our own resources. There

are around 60 computers in the lab. There are two faculty members with MCA and two PG

Diploma holders as tutors to run these computer courses.

Yes, The College is successfully conducting a number of self finance employment oriented and skill development programmes simultaneously under two specific categories:

a) Programmes in the domain of information technology :

27


college, in the domain of Information technology, is offering a number of computer programmes (both certificate and diploma course). These courses

include CMOA. DMOA, Tally, Page Maker etc. The department of Information Technology looks after these programmes.

ii) Post Graduate diploma in Computer application (PGDCA), a regular self

financing course under GU which is also conducted by the Information Technology department of the college.

b) Self Finance Certificate Course under the aegis of the college:

A total number of 10 programmes namely CMOA, DMOA, Tally, Page Maker, Beauty Care, Communication Skill, Art and Craft, Montessori Methods,

Fundamental of Insurance, Yoga and Meditation are running under the supervision of a specific committee headed by a teaching faculty.

c) The indicated point of references : i) Admission process: Both categories of programmes (excluding the

PGDCA) are mandatory for all B.A.1st Semester students. Admission

process is simple and transparent. Students get themselves admitted into

the programmes simultaneously in time of general admission process in each new 1

st Semester in the month of June every year. Admission into

PGDCA course is for graduates which takes place as per GU guidelines. ii) Curriculum: The curriculums of these programmes are not related to the

curriculum of general courses. C-DAC has its own curriculum for the

programmes, where as PGDCA curriculum is developed by GU. However the curriculum of the programmes under the aegis of the college is

prepared by the special committee keeping in view the professional need in consultation with experts in concerned subjects.

iii) Fee structure: All the programmes are made cost effective for the beneficiaries. The unit cost/ fee structure of the computer programmes is

fixed by C-DAC. The fee structure of PGDCA is determined by GU. However the college has offered these programmes at subsidies rate to the

students. 40% concession is assigned to the beneficiaries of C-DAC

programmes. For the convenience of the students fee is drawn in three equal installments. For the other self running programmes students have to

pay nominal fees. iv) Teachers‟ qualification and salary: Requisite qualification for the teachers

in C-DAC programme and PGDCA is the master degree in the respective subject. Accordingly two teaching faculty with MCA and two PG Diploma

holders had been rendering services. For certificate programmes, subject experts have been recruited at contractual basis. Salaries

of the faculties are paid from the collected revenues of the respective category of

programmes.

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?

Yes, Gauhati University has a successful open and distance learning approach through

Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL). The college is running a study centre under

IDOL GU. There are about 1500 students enrolled in various courses. Those who cannot

afford enrollment in the regular mode of study either due to financial or other reasons can

choose IDOL. We arrange counseling classes for these students on Sundays. Besides, IDOL

G.U, we are a leading recognized centre of KK Handique State Open University which

delivers quite a few skill based courses at an affordable rate.

curriculum to enhance the experiences of the students so as to cope with the

needs of the dynamic employment market?

The curricula are designed by the university on the basis of suggestions by various course

colleges have stressed on innovations at various points of time. But once the curricula are

approved the college has no scope to rectify it within the syllabus.

1.3.3 Enumerate the efforts made by the institution to integrate the cross cutting issues

such as Gender, Climate Change, Environmental Education, Human Rights, ICT

facilities in every major class. Faculties have also been imparted training in the use

of latest technology. But it needs to be embedded into day to day teaching learning

by enhancing faculty competence in ICT use.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper

among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators?

„To know‟, „to do‟, „to be‟ are the three cardinal principles on which the ethos of teaching

learning is based. We try to translate these into practice through systematic interventions. We

have embedded seminar/ symposium/ group discussion/ class room presentation into the

routine. Learner centric, interactive teaching learning practices encourage an attitude to

question, to think rationally and present a perspective in a logical manner.

Everything is related to everything‟ is the message that informs our educational practices.

Teachers of one subject are sent to other departments on occasional teaching assignment. This

brings freshness of approach and perspective to the teaching learning experience. This is by

and large a sporadic thing and weds to be embedded into day to day teaching.

.

There are various others for encourage critical and scientific thinking like debate, quiz,

elocution competitions within and outside the campus. Students are also encourage to write

imparted to faculty and students. Lectures by experts invited from various parts of the

country, training programs for new entrance, guidance on research and appropriate pedagogy

are imparted to update and familiarize them with the changes in the field of higher education.

level events and non-curricular activities cause loss of working days and instructional hours.

So it is very difficult to complete the assigned units within the planned time. To overcome

this, teachers compensate for the classes lost by handling classes before and after the normal

working hours and on Sundays and other holidays. It is ensured that the curriculum is covered

completely before the students are sent for end semester examination.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?

M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya, Nalbari attracts the best talents mainly because of its

objective to help the critical thinking ability of students. Students are encouraged to

discuss and debate rather than mere presentation of facts. A student who actively

participates in discussions is awarded special marks.

Assignments on various subjects are given regularly to help the student to improve their

writing abilities.

The consolidated evaluation report is given to the respective faculties and the corrective

measures are discussed and implemented in college level, department level and faculty

level. 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?

The academic calendar contains the details of all the College activities and evaluation

process. The academic calendar is issued to all students at the beginning of the academic year

indicating the time schedule for examination and the evaluation for the year. The course

material is unitized and made available in each departmental Notice Board.

Faculty Awareness:

Constitution of internal exam board with the faculty members

Conducting Exam Zone in respect of GU terms and Exam

Office Circular

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?

Up to the academic year 2010, evaluation was done on an annual basis. From 2011 only the

colleges under Gauhati University conduct semester exams. According to this system 20% of

48


the total mark in each paper is to be awarded by the College by conducting various internal

assessment tools like seminar presentation, group discussion, written test etc. The evaluation

of the end semester examination is conducted in different zones. Our College also entertains

zones of evaluation of Gauhati University. This helps to evaluate the student more

effectively.

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?

The college strictly follows the Gauhati University guidelines for evaluation reforms. A few

of our teachers are members of Boards of Studies and Examination Boards in their own

subjects and they put forward their views and suggestions when a reform is introduced. In the

case of internal examination also, the broad pattern is prescribed by the University and our

college follows the pattern without fail.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adapted

to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively

impacted the system.

The formative and summative evaluation is based on the Gauhati University guidelines for

each programme. The formative assessment comprises- attendance, assignments/ seminar,

internal examination results etc. Other means of testing such as quiz, oral testing, and

practical examination are also made use of.

Summative Assessment, the final assessment of performance at the end of every semester is

carried out by the University for both theory and practical according to the curriculum of the

programme. The evaluation is carried out by the examiners appointed by the University.

The results of the formative test help the teacher to design the teaching-learning process

according to the academic level of students while the Summative Assessment at the end of a

semester determines what the student has acquired.

2.5.5 Detail 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 behavioral aspects, independent

learning, communication skills etc.

Internal assessment at the undergraduate level is in line with the guidelines stipulated by the

Gauhati University. At the under graduate level, the total marks for the internals in a course is

a composite of the marks for attendance, internal assessment examination and marks assigned

to the students for an assignment or a seminar. Each student should have a minimum of 75 %

attendance, to appear for the examinations as stipulated by the University. The students are

informed about this in the beginning of each semester. During the course of each semester,

the attendance percentage is calculated for each student and the marks are informed in the

departments on a monthly basis. This is to ensure that students know their status in advance

so that they can compensate for the low attendance and poor performance. Despite such

mechanisms, if there are violators, they are warned at the Department and College levels.

The Departments regularly conduct internal assessment examinations during the semesters.

These internal examinations are announced well in advance during each semester. Immediate

49


feedback is given to the students. As stated above, students with genuine reasons for not

being able to attend an exam are allowed to take a re-test by producing substantiating

documents to explain the reasons for their absence.

The students are expected to take part in seminars, related to the topics in the syllabus. They

are encouraged to use power point presentations. Students are sometimes divided into groups

and assigned a topic. The group members present their ideas by lecturing or by facilitating a

group discussion in the class. The students are evaluated on the basis of a set of criteria,

which include clarity in thought, organization of ideas, presentation of skills, and other non-

verbal skills such as voice modulation, body language etc. Here, in addition to the criteria

stated above, students are evaluated on the basis of use of empirical information while

presenting seminar topics. They are encouraged to critically analyze concepts and to build a

research framework.

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?

The institution has identified the following attributes as necessary and befitting.

Rigorous academic learning

Students in the College are equipped with the skills, motivation and confidence to engage in

continuous learning to meet the personal, professional and vocational challenges of an ever

changing world. The authority of MNC Balika Mahavidyalaya takes all measures to avoid

loss of class hours.

Self-reliance

Every effort is made to equip the girl students with confidence, capability, assurance,

independence and enterprise so as to enable them to fulfill their personal and career

aspirations. Various cells and committees act as driving force in the endeavour to create a

community of self-reliant women in the campus. A Career Guidance Cell is functioning in the

college for the effective guidance of students.

Engaged citizenship

It is our goal to make the students accustomed to contemporary, social and cultural issues so

that they make meaningful contributions to local, national and global communities. Various

seminars and discussions organized by the college to fulfill the role of a good and engaged

citizen.

Social responsibility

Students are expected to be aware of generally accepted norms of ethical behaviour andare

encouraged to act in a socially responsible manner both in the campus and other settings.

Besides, the college organizes symposium, freshmen social, college week festival and

observes a number of National and international days, where students of the college actively

participate.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation

both at the college and University level?

50


Any grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and university levels are

taken up seriously by the concerned departments of the college and they are rectified if found

genuine. In case the grievance is not redressed at the department level the student can appeal

to the next higher authority, which is the college level monitoring committee comprising of

the Principal and the college level convener of the internal evaluation.

At the university level the student can apply for revaluation. If a student applies for

revaluation the concerned paper will be assigned to a new evaluator and valued all over again.

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?

There are clearly stated learning outcomes for each course taught at the college. The

objectives of a course are stated to the students by the teacher handling the course. This is

done at the beginning of the course. The students are told as to what skills and competencies

they are expected to acquire at the end of the course.

The internal evaluation of students is carried out in keeping with the learning objectives of

each course. Informal and formal feedbacks regarding the relevance and scope of each course

is gathered from students periodically. This helps in modifying criteria for learning

objectives.

2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and

performance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide an

analysis of the students‟ results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last

four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across

the programmes/courses offered.

This institution has in place a comprehensive system of monitoring the progress and

performance of the students, and the results are communicated to the students and their

parents without fail. Examinations are conducted at a regular basis for the students and it will

be evaluated by the respective teachers. The corrected papers are made available to the

students for reference and follow up. There is a tutorial system in the college. One or two

teachers are appointed as tutor of each class. The teacher discusses the progress of the student

by referring to their performance in the examinations. Teachers give special counseling for

the weak students in the subjects. The marks scored in all internal exams are displayed

usually on the department notice boards and the internal marks for their final exams will also

be shown to them. The student progress is communicated to the parents in the Parent

Teachers Association meetings.

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution

structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?

Our teaching, learning and assessment strategies are structured to improve the academic

performance of the institution. This is achieved through:

The Career Guidance Cell of the College is an important extension wing of the College which

renders invaluable service to the student community by promoting awareness as to the

immense career and job opportunities available at various levels of graduate and post

graduate study.

2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and

learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

In accordance with the benchmarks provided by the IQAC, information is collected and

analyzed at the year end. With continuous assessment of the students through regular

classroom teaching, their performance in class presentations, internal and semester exams are

assigned

After the end of admission process to each programme, the admitted candidates are

analyzed based on their performance in qualifying examinations and identifies the

weak and slow learners.

Students who need extra attention are identified and necessary help is rendered to

them by remedial coaching.

Better facilities are planned and provided for the students including internet, Wi-Fi,

and power point projectors to support the learning process and overcome the various

barriers of learning.

Involvement of all the faculties is ensured in data collection and analysis, followed by

a participative decision making process to streamline the process for the coming year.

A vision to be a compassionate human being and successful professional is

communicated to all students.

2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning

outcomes?

52


Through a dynamic system comprising of good practices, achievement of learning outcomes

is ensured. All efforts are channelized towards the academic excellence of the institution.

With the introduction of Choice Based Credit Semester System (CBCSS), for evaluating the

performance of the students a grade point system is followed. The continuous assessment of

student performance is ensured with a proper, focused examination system consisting of

internal assessments, seminars, class performances and semester exams. Whenever University

updates the curriculum, the Institution implements the same. Special tutorial sessions are

organized for weaker students. Department works for the overall development of the students

through regular teaching, extension, training and research activities. Career guidance and

counseling are provided through the institution to students. With an efficient feedback

system, strengths and weaknesses are identified and measures are taken accordingly. New

edition of books have been added in Central as well as Departmental Library. The books of

the central library are completely bar coded.

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.

Evaluation of student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning are done

using the quality benchmarks given by IQAC. Thus, acting as an agent of change and helping

in performing better internal communication, the IQAC is used by both the institution as well

as the teachers to achieve the aforesaid objectives.

This is done through:

1. Modern ICT enabled learning, teaching and evaluation techniques.

2. Timely assessment of student performance and declaration of results

3. Monitoring teaching schedule strictly in accordance with the academic calendar

4. Special guidance for students aspiring to participate in various competitions and for those

students interested in research

Alumnae, Extension Service Organization and the Media.

The vision and mission statements are in keeping with the intellectual, potential and needs of

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and

implementation of its quality policy and plans?

The college has a Governing Body (GB) for proper management of the college. The GB is

formed as per the Assam state govt. rule. The GB, Principal and faculty work in conjunction

to formulate and implement its quality policy and plans for assurance and sustenance of

quality in higher education. The Principal, the academic and administrative head of the

institution and Secretary of the GB evolves strategies for academic growth within the purview

of Gauhati University/Assam government regulations. The faculty participates actively in

policy making and application through two representatives in the college„s Governing Body.

Various committees such as Construction Committee, Advisory Committee, Examination

Committee, and Academic council, Audit committee also have teacher representatives. These

committees meet prior to the management meeting, discuss various matters within their

purview (like expansion of programmes, infrastructural facilities, fee structure) and present

their reports and recommendations to the Head of the institution. A thorough discussion

ensues, valuable suggestions offered and final resolutions are taken for implementation for the

growth of the college. Actions taken on recommendations from the previous meeting are also

reviewed to monitor the progress and take necessary action. The head of the institution

communicates the policy decisions to the faculty in the staff meetings. The college follows a

policy of inclusiveness. The administrative staff is also entrusted with responsibilities. The

Head of the Institution bears the ultimate responsibility for the smooth running of the College.

The role of the Principal of the College is multi-dimensional. As the Head of the Institution,

the Principal is responsible for both the academic and administrative functioning of the

College. He prepares and places the agenda before the Governing Body, on academic and

administrative matters requiring its approval and he is responsible for executing its decisions.

Body, which is its highest decision-making body. The College has constituted different

Committees with teacher and members of the non-teaching staff which play an important role

in the planning and implementation of activities in different spheres of institutional

functioning. The personal interaction of the Principal with various stakeholders, the faculty,

the non-teaching staff, the students, alumnae, the guardians play an important role in this.

This apart, information available in student feedback forms and in self-appraisal forms of

teachers help the authorities to extent support for the policies. The participatory role of the

management encourages and sustains the involvement of the college staff, which is necessary

for the efficient and effective running of the College.

Union Society (students‟ council) at regular intervals and discusses the various

activities and programmes that must be undertaken in the short and long run.

into the institutional strategic plan

The Governing Body implements and monitors the action plan. It also updates the

action plan. The leadership ensures that the activities mooted by the stake holders are

in harmony with the vision and mission of the college. If any activity is found to be

going out of the track, at any stage, the Academic Council and IQAC identify the

problem and arrive at a possible solution. In each Department sub-committees are

formed to look into implementation of the plan. At the beginning of every academic

year, a plan of action for the ensuing year is formulated and the plan is incorporated

into the plan allocation of the concerned department. The G.B. finally gives approval

to each proposal on its merit-cum-means, its cost effectiveness and gives shape to

the institutional strategic plan.

Interaction with stake holders

Interactions with stake holders are held at both the department and college level.

Parent- Teachers meet are held at regular basis. Parents and students are invited to

the college to give feedback on the governance, leadership and personality

management of the college. Renowned personalities are invited to various functions

conducted by college so that their feedback is also received.

and consultations with the stakeholders

Cells etc. These committees are constituted by the Head of the institution with a

mixture of senior and junior members of the staff to imbibe the work culture of the college

and get groomed for leadership. This helps in creating a conductive atmosphere for the

smooth delivery of scholastic and co-scholastic programmes and remaining harmony in the

institution. The Students‟ Union Society represents the whole student body. They discuss

student related problems in the campus and suggest solutions to problems. They work on

issues related to Campus and disseminate the decision to the entire student body. Developing

women leadership quality is one of the chief missions of our College. With this goal, the

college designs some self-sponsored courses like Art & Craft, Beautician Course, and

Communication Skill etc. for which the curriculum is designed and structured to develop the

intellectual entrepreneurial and managerial skills among our students.

committees are formed to run the college smoothly and are given autonomy in the decision

making under the supervision of the Principal as chairperson.

development of its teaching and non teaching staff?

teaching and non teaching staff. Such as:

102


Teaching staff are given the necessary relaxation from the college in order to attend

workshop, seminars, Orientation Courses, Refresher Courses, and Short Term Courses

etc.

Relaxation is also given to the faculty for pursuing Ph.D. without affecting the classes.

Computer skill development programmes are organized for both teaching and non-

teaching staff by the I.T. Department of the college on a regular basis. They are also

allowed to undertake such courses organized by the UGC HRDC.

6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty empowerment

through training, retraining and motivating the employees for the roles and

Courses, Short Term Courses, Orientation Courses etc. For the non–teaching staff, provisions

are made to attend Short Term Courses and Computer Courses for their professional

development.

6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to evaluate and

ensure that information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and

considered for better appraisal.

A Self- Appraisal Performance Report is provided to the faculty which has been duly filled

and submitted to the Principal. Accordingly, the IQAC discusses the various issues with the

teachers.

6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports by the

management and the major decisions taken? How are they communicated to the

appropriate stakeholders?

The performance appraisal report of each faculty is collected every year. The report is an

overall account of the achievements, performance and quality enhancing programmes

attended in the given academic year. The IQAC along with the selected members scrutinize

these reports and the feedback from the students. Promotions of teacher depend on the reports

received. The principal shares the general trend as per the reports with the teaching staff.

Individual issues of teachers are dealt with separately. Commitments and short comings of

individual teachers are intimated to them personally. Counseling is provided to staff if

needed, to help them improve their professional capabilities. The Principal sends the

confidential report of both teaching and non-teaching staff and the performance appraisal

report to the Director of Higher Education, Assam along with the proposal for promotion.

6.3.5 What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non teaching staff?

What percentage of staff have availed the benefit of such schemes in the last four

years?

The MNCBM Employees Mutual Fund created in 1992, is devoted to lending money to the

employees in need of financial help during contingence situations. Fund is provided at short

notice to the incumbent at a very low interest rate. There is hardly any employee who has not

benefited by this fund. Besides, the college also supports the education of wards of the Grade-

103


IV employee by writing off their fee, providing study materials and uniform.

Details of Loan availed by the employees are furnished below:

Year Teaching Staff Non-Teaching Staff

2011-12 76% 80%

2012-13 75% 81%

2013-14 76% 82%

2014-15 70% 82%

6.3.6 What are the measures taken by the Institution for attracting and retaining

eminent faculty?

There is a great mismatch between the total enrollment and the sanctioned faculty provided

by the government. The student teacher ratio is made healthier with appointment of ad-hoc

and temporary faculty. Negotiating the problem of retention of quality teacher proves to be a

great challenge.

We have been requisitioning the services of our retired faculty on the basis of their proven

track record. Superannuated teachers retained both as visiting / guest faculty and often some

of them are appointed as academic counselors to take care of classes during Sundays and

holidays. At present there are two former faculties rendering their valuable service. One of

them was a Principal of this institution and been part of our academic team for the last seven

years.

In fact, retired faculty with considerable good will as teachers from other institutions, too are

engaged for enhancing quality academic input. Temporary teachers are retained on the basis

of feedback from students, HoDs and stakeholders.

6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 What is the institutional mechanism to monitor effective and efficient use of

available financial resources?

The fee structure for the various programmes offered by the Institute is fixed by the Director

of Higher Education, Assam. The College collects the same and remits the same to the

respective head of account. The Governing Body, IQAC, purchase committee and other sub-

committees monitor and manage available financial resources. Formal discussions are held at

given intervals and the decisions made are communicated to the stakeholders.

free admission. A good number of students belonging to BPL category are given

financial assistance during the admission.

Office and Library:

The Office and the Central Library of the college are fully computerized with

broadband internet facility. A good number of journals are also subscribed by the

Central Library. Besides, a digital library is also initiated in the college.

Infrastructure:

i. Number of classrooms is increased during the last four years to accommodate

more students.

ii. A new academic and administrative building is constructed in the front side of

the college.

iii. Modern toilets for girl students are constructed near-by the Jubilee Block of the

college.

Vocational Courses:

Apart from the traditional courses the college has introduced two vocational courses at

UG level. They are Tourism and Travel Management (TTM) and Computer

Application (CAP)

Co-curricular activities:

i. Most of the departments publish a wall magazine and one departmental journal

117


iv. Programmes on health and hygiene like „Healthy Women Healthy Nation‟,

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which

have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or

contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

A) Title of the practice: Compulsory Computer Literacy Programme

Goal: The practice is aimed at empowering girl students with a mandatory delivery of

computer knowledge thereby enhancing their skill and employability.

The Context: In the predominantly humanistic and social sciences curricula the issues of

employable and human skills largely remains unaddressed. Skills are critical to getting

employed and for social interventions. A basic knowledge in handling computers for example

opens up the vast domain of internet and other resources. And Assam being slow off the block

in ushering I.T revolution, it is imperative on educational institutions to embed computer

education as a mandatory skill. The practice entails all first semester students are

compulsorily admitted in the value-added CMOA computer course.

The Practice: The target group for the compulsory computer learning programme – CMOA is

for first semester students. The fee of Rs. 2800/- is above and over the nominal admission fee.

It was a burden since about 30-40 % of our students, coming as they due from socio-

economically disadvantage sections, and they found hard to bear the due fee. Therefore we

negotiated with C-DAC (A Govt. of India Concern under a department of Science and

Technology) and brought the too about 55%. The fee now is Rs. 1500/- .Even this fee is partly

or fully relaxed for disadvantaged, physically challenged and academically bright students.

The examination is conducted here but the question papers and certificate come from C-DAC,

Pune (Maharashtra).We have engaged five qualified staff to teach the course. Besides there

are other courses under C-DAC which are open to students of this college and girl students/

women outside the Intuition.

Evidence of success: The basic idea behind the practice was to achieve total computer

literacy so that it facilitates enhanced use of ICT component in teaching-learning. And we are

by and large successful in this regards. The success of this practice is also evident in large

number of students employed by corporations, MNCs, Sales houses and so on. Yet there are

issues that we need to address.

Problems encountered and Resources Required: We have no issues with financial or

human resources. We have created a specious laboratory with more than 60 Computers

supported by qualified faculty, online power backup and a 100 KVA genset.

• What makes us think is the considerable disadvantaged section that cannot often pay

even the highly subsidized fee (collected in three installments) and we have to write

off the amount leading to financial loss.

• Added to this is the installment relaxed to support socio-economically

disadvantaged section the introduction of semester system too impacted students

opting for skill-based value added courses including compulsory computer literacy

118


programme since the new system of study leaves little room for other things.

B) TITLE OF THE PRACTICE :INCLUSION IN ACTION

Goal: The practice entails putting the founders vision of inclusion in action in

relation to students from challenged background through appropriate financial and forms of

interpretation.

The Context: A sizable chunk of our students come from socio-economically

challenged sections. The SC, ST, OBC, scholastically bright students are brought under the

security of the Govt. and other agencies. It is the students belonging to the general category

and who come from socio-economically challenged background are left in the lunch. It is

critical to intervene positively (financially) in relation to these students. Beside the physically

challenged too what is a called „general/normal‟ students. Visually challenged students for

example are advised to go to institution meant especially for the visually impaired. This is

segregation and exclusion. It deprives them of the feeling that they belong to the mainstream,

are as capable as any and can contribute productively to society. These two categories are the

primary concern of this practice.

The Practice: Applications for financial assistance, fee relaxation is invited from

students outside the ambit of the security net of the Govt. and other agencies. Usually the

general category students with socio-economic vulnerability apply for assistance. BPL ration

card / income certificate from relevant authority is required to establish antecedent. Even

otherwise students are accepting on the recommendation of teachers and others. A committee

is unaudited to prepare the list of students for financial assistance at the time of admission and

during from fill-up. They also get fee relaxation for the mandatory computer course besides

getting books from the Book bank. Physically challenged students get access to their facilities.

Evidence of success: The practice is a modest attempt at creating a human face for the

intuition is an age that priorities mechanical efficiency and statistical excellence. In this we

are successful to an extent. Students who would have otherwise dropped out midcourse are

retained and are able to complete their education. This year three visually challenged students

have come here after being refused admission to some leading colleges. They are provided

with a caretaker. The robust enrollment in the college is a sign of success of this positive

intervention.

Problems encountered and Resources Required: There more hands stretched out for help

than one can afford to give. Since the fee structure across the state remains the same and there

is a standing order not to increase it, we marshal resources from funds created by self-

financing courses. Ideally we could like to completely write off the fee, especially for students

of this category with a bright academic achievement. This year we have written off the entire

fee for students securing 80% and more at +2 levels. We will enlarge this securing net with

more interventions besides the financial one.

of the college.

161



external experts:

Various initiatives has been taken to enhance the students‟ knowledge such as

The departmental level seminar is organized on a weekly basis.

Students Exchange program is organized with different nearby colleges of our

locality.

Students are also participated in such programmes organized centrally by the

IQAC.

Celebrating Teachers Day and Departmental Fresher‟s on 5th September

Celebrating Viswakarma Puja on 17th September

The department has started a School Adoption programme for Computer Literacy.

In its first phase the college has selected Nalbari Basic School where one computer

set with UPS and Laser Printer has already been donated.


Strength

Faculties and other staff are cooperative and well experienced.

Well-equipped computer Lab with A/C and is largest in entire district.

Sufficient number of books available in both college and Departmental library

Weakness:

Lack of permanent faculty members.

Though power backup facility is available but it needs to be improved.

Opportunities:

We can introduce more Career and Job oriented short and long term courses.

Challenges:

Since most of the students are from very backward areas, so awareness

programmes needs to be done to convince them towards this field.

162


Self-financing courses are difficult to run here since most of the students are from

poor families.

Future Plans:

To initiate Computer Science as a Major subject in U.G as well as in P.G level.

To publish a departmental Journal.

Weakness:

Lack of permanent faculty members.

Lack of Departmental library and Computer Facility

Opportunities:

We can introduce more Career and Job oriented short and Long term courses.

Challenges:

Since most of the students are from very backward areas, so awareness

programmes needs to be done to convince them towards this field.

Self-financing courses are difficult to run here since most of the students are from

poor families.

Future Plans:

To initiate Tourism and Travel Managementas a Major subject in U.G as well as in

P.G level.

To publish a departmental Journal.

POST-ACCREDITATION INITIATIVE

If the college has already undergone the accreditation process by NAAC, please highlight the

significant quality sustenance and enhancement measure undertaken during the last four

years. The narrative may not exceed ten pages. (Refer section IX of Guidelines for

Assessment and Accreditation)

M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya was assessed and accredited B++ in 2004.The process has put

new dynamism into the functioning of the College and created synergy between its various

wings. As a women‟s college founded on the vision of delivering socially inclusive quality

education in a district which is socially sensitive (insurgency and impact of Bodo movement)

this College has been endeavoring not only to empower women but wean people away from

fissiparous tendencies through education.

We have been producing university toppers consistently and there are 7 university toppers in

a span of ten years is a testament to the constant effort to achieve excellence. There are many

others who brought glory to this College by occupying top ten positions.

Re-accreditation was due in 2009, but due to both internal and extraneous reasons (a litigation

regarding appointment of principals in Assam, for example) we could not go for re-

accreditation. The volatility of the situation arising out of stop gap arrangement continued till

2012 in which year Principals were appointed on permanent basis in the state.

In spite of the leadership crisis we continued with our efforts to deliver quality education with

the creation of new and modern academic and infrastructural facilities. Some new courses

have also been introduced offering a larger choice for students. These developments have

kept the College quality endeavours rolling.

Enhancing Employability Quotient Digitally

We have established a Digital Language Laboratory, first of its kind in the entire North East.

The Lab has unique interactive software for developing Communication Skills, Intonation,

Stress Pattern, Grammar and other components. Students can also use the Lab with or without

the help of teachers. Besides language skills the Lab is also equipped to teach any subject if

the teacher prepares her/his material beforehand on a CD. The Lab has 20 learner stations and

one teacher console. It can accommodate 40 students (2 students at one station) at a time. The

lab was partly funded by the UGC (Rs. 6 Lakh) and the lion‟s share of 19 Lakh was provided

by the College. This way we channelize the resources generated internally to create more

teaching learning facilities.

Common Resource Pool

This Lab is also used as a Resource Pool for neighboring colleges. We invite colleges

interested in using this facility either for students or faculty or both. Even colleges outside the

district have elicited interest in the Lab. In fact Pub Kamrup College from Kamrup District

sent its students and teachers to have a feel of the Language Lab.

A couple of schools and junior colleges too have visited and used the Lab. We do not charge

any fee from anybody for the use of the Lab since we believe optimization of use is value for

money. We have also counseled some colleges showing interest in creating such labs in their

respective institution.

Mandatory Embedment of Computer Education

This is one of the vital suggestions made by the Peer Team. We had an in-house Certificate

Course in basic computing at the time of NAAC Peer Team visit. The team suggested

consolidation of computer education by putting in place a system to make computer literacy

mandatory. It led us to a tie-up with C-DAC, a concern of Govt. of India, to deliver high

quality computer courses at a rate that suits the socio-economic reality of the area.

Memorandum of Understanding with C-DAC (Under Dept. of Science and Technology), a

Concern of Govt. of India

Our Memoranda of Understanding with C-DAC to deliver Certificate, Diploma and other

courses of higher denomination to learners has yielded more dividends by universalizing

computer education as suggested by the Peer Team. We deliver the Certificate (CMOA)

Course at a price that is about 50% of what other quality computer education concerns do.

This has impacted positively both on learners and faculty of the College. Computer education

is an essential component of life today whether one works outside or at home. This course has

provided employability quotient to learners. This has partly made up the lack skill content in

the traditional UG course. Socio-economically disadvantaged sections, who normally cannot

afford computer education, are offered this course at almost one third of the normal fee.

Positive Intervention: Plugging Loopholes to Minimize Dropout

Minimizing dropout rate was one of the crucial suggestions of NAAC Peer team. We were

compelled to give serious attention to this problem. It entails sad wastage of human and

material resources. We made positive interventions through various student systems like

Differential Stream Treatment, financial aid to socio-economically disadvantaged, Book

Bank facility, counseling etc. we have succeeded in reducing dropout to a considerable

extent.

Interface between College Administration and Student Leadership

From the session 2012-13 we have introduced an interface system in which the General

Secretary of the Student Union is invited to participate in the deliberations of the Governing

Body and be part of the decision–making process.

This will not only add to our tradition of transparency but inculcate a sense of participation in

the stakeholders in the administration.

Enlarging Social Outreach: Adoption of School for Computer Literacy

Besides Blood donation camp, Free Medical Aid Camp, Aids Awareness Program, health

lectures under social outreach, we have adopted a school for computer literacy this session.

We donated a computer, a UPS and a printer to start with. We will provide a couple of more

computers as the program picks up. We have made arrangement to send one of our computer

teachers to teach kids weekly once. The frequency can be increased with popularity of the

program and when the school arranges for more computer class.

Value Addition to the Curricula

177


As a college affiliated to Gauhati University we have little say in formulation of the course

content. To refurbish their theoretical knowledge we have introduced a host of certificate

courses. These are self-financed courses run by the College. Each department is assigned the

role of a nodal agency to oversee and run a certificate course related to it. For example

English Dept. is entrusted with the responsibility of the Certificate Course in Communication

Skills, Economics looks after Art & Craft and Education takes care of Montessori Method

and so on. These courses add value to the U.G Courses and give fillip to their employability.

Enlarging Choice for Learners: Introduction of New and Professional Courses

As a follow up to a suggestion by the NAAC Peer Team to introduce subjects that enhance

employable skills, we have introduced a couple of in-house certificate courses on self-

financing basis. Apart from this two courses -Bachelor in Computer Application and Travel

and Tourism have been introduced in 2012. We expected these courses to be a huge draw.

We even counseled students during admission regarding these courses. Sadly the response

was not as encouraging as we had expected. We are devising ways so that these courses

attract students. The condition that - students opting for Major cannot take up these

professional courses, discouraged meritorious students from taking up these courses. We have

sent this feedback to Gauhati University for evaluating the norms of admission into these

professional courses.

In Sync with E-Learning: E-classroom in all Major Departments

Information Communication Technology has become an essential component in education

these days and we cannot afford to ignore this. With a view to enhancing ICT component in

teaching learning we have installed e-classroom facilities in every Major class.

Faculty has also been imparted training in the use of the latest technology.

We have decided to make at least one e-class mandatory for every teacher in a week for

enhanced use of latest technology. Internet facility, with printers for printing documents/ hand

outs for students, has been provided at all the departments. Besides the Wi-Fi facility in place

also enables access to internet within the campus.

Internet Café: Keeping the Students in Touch with the Cyber World

Free internet service has been enhanced so to help more and more students can access and

utilize this for academic and other purposes. But students are specifically advised and

monitored so that no abuse of the facility takes place. To make this facility enhance learning

outcomes of students departments have been asked to prepare a list of websites related to

respective disciplines so as to make it easier for students to access those websites.

Physical Infrastructure

Though we have been adding more and more infrastructure we feel that more sports

infrastructure needs to be created. A couple of our students are playing at state and national

level meets. One of them has even won medals at national level in handball competition. Yet

sports culture is something we need to focus on.

Extending the Reach of Education in the State

Our memoranda of Understanding with Krisna kanta Handique State Open University and

Institute of Distance and Open Learning( Gauhati University )has enlarged the scope of

education in the state. We are one of the leading institutions imparting education through the

open and distance mode in the entire state. There are about 2300 students enrolled with us

under this mode. More than 60% of enrolled stakeholders are girls and women could not

afford joining a college either for socio-economic or other reasons, has shown great interest

in the courses on offer. The enrolled learners are regularly counseled on Sundays. These

courses include a lot of skill-based professional courses ranging from certificate to post

graduate courses that are quite popular. To give one example- there are about 40 learners

doing Post-graduate Diploma in computer. All these students are trained in our own computer

lab.

Inclusive Education

Sensitivity towards Differently-abled /Physically Challenged learners is part of our social

inclusive vision.

Physically and visually challenged students

Admission and other fee relaxation

Provided Hostel facility on the ground floor.

Separate Care Taker appointed

Encouraging co-students to help students with special needs.

At M.N.C. Balika Mahavidyalaya we understand quality to be in consonance with the

socio-economic reality of the place amidst which it is situated. Though inclusive

agenda of the institution does have an impact on quality (Shows up in Exam.

Outcomes) we persist with it for the sake of equality and empowerment of girls/women.

We look at quality not as a series of disjointed events but as a process and an outlook

that endeavours to embed activities that add value and enhance learning experience.

Employability is one problem that we have been trying to address. Even academically

bright students do not have the basic skill-based certificate courses, learner-centric

teaching learning methods and through other students support mechanism. We try to

enhance the employability quotient of the learners.

Honest Introspection

One important aspect that we would like to bring to the notice of NAAC is the Higher

Secondary section which remains an integral part of every college without any staff or

financial support for the said section.

There is a standing order of Govt. of Assam to continue with higher secondary section till

alternative arrangement is made. This section adds to the workload of the College which

could have been put at UG level. But the ideal of larger societal good inspires us to counter

and defeat the obstacles since quality with social inclusiveness is the vision of the founder of

the College. In a short span of three decades we have acquired a great fund of goodwill and

the testament to this is that students from all corners of the state, including some from a

neighboring country, are studying here. But quality being a dynamic attitude towards work

and not a series of events we can hardly afford to be complacent. It is an on-going journey

and we have a lot of distance to cover.
