PREFACE
Assessment of an educational institution on quality parameters is important in
achieving a place of prominence and making it a favourable destination for education. In this
regard, It gives me an immense pleasure to submit the Self Study Report of Government First
Grade College, Arsikere to NAAC for assessment and accreditation.
In order to empower the rural youth by developing key competencies through deep learning,
the college was started in Arsikere taluk of Hassan district by Government of Karnataka in
2006. The SSR preparation has given an opportunity to confidently assure ourselves that all
the academic activities of Government First Grade College Arsikere is in line with its vision
and mission statements. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established in the
year 2011. It has been instrumental in introducing diverse measures for quality enhancement
since its inception. The preparation of the SSR was a collective effort by all the teaching and
non teaching staff of the college. All have contributed significantly in analyzing the processes
in each criterion and in helping us to identify our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
also future challenges and in the systematic recording of all relevant information.
My sincere thanks to our former Principal Prof.Syed Basha, for his concern towards college
and guidance for preparation of SSR. During his reign Our College LOI AND IEQA was
successful.
I express my heartfelt gratitude to the all the members of NAAC steering committee for
working together and bringing out the SSR in a lucid manner to represent our college.
I am thankful to the members of the full time, guest Teaching faculty and Non-Teaching staff
for the co-operation extended in preparing SSR within the stipulated time.
Principal

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

which is in the outskirts of Arsikere taluk. The college offers 4 undergraduate
programmes namely B.A, B.Sc B.Com and BBM. There are seven full time and 20 guest
faculty members supported by a team of hard working and efficient non-teaching staff.
The preparation of Self Study Report (SSR) of the college has helped us to gain an in-
depth insight into the strengths and weaknesses of our institution. A brief summary of
the seven criteria in the SSR is given below:
Criteria – 1: Curricular aspects
The mission, vision and objective of Government First Grade College, Arsikere is
amply reflected in the college motto of “Galvanize pupils attitude”. Right from its
inception in 2006 till today the college has been striving hard to provide quality
education. Empowerment of rural youth by developing in them a thirst for knowledge,
research, freedom of expression, respect for culture, being eco friendly with nature and
generating sensitivity towards one‟s environment are some the focal points around which
the institution works. All departments in the college organize seminars, symposia, study
tours and other academic activities to strengthen the teaching learning process.
Continuous Internal Evaluation of the students ensures prompt interventions for the
effective transaction of the curriculum. The various Departments, the Staff Council,
committees, and NSS units run comprehensive programmes for the betterment of the
students in particular and society at large. Continuous efforts are made to update college
infrastructure like the college library, seminar Hall, website, college office, the
classrooms and labs with the latest technology. Government First Grade College,
Arsikere has an active Placement Cell that not only helps students in getting jobs but also
works towards making them employment ready. Efforts are made to provide students

Criteria- 3: Research, Consultancy and Extension
Since teaching, research and extension are the three major dimensions of higher
education, the college promotes a research culture among faculty and students. As the
college is yet to be recognized by the UGC under section 12 (B), the teachers are not able
to receive any research grants or projects from the UGC. All faculties are encouraged to

The institute‟s approach to the learning outcome assessment is defined clearly. Faculty is
best suited to determine the intended educational outcomes of their academic programs
and activities, How to assess these outcomes, and how to use the results for program
development and improvement is a part of student evaluation. The results of Outcome
Assessment are used to evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs and activities,
and student services, and not the performance of individual faculty or staff. Faculty use
the information collected to develop and improve academic programs. The institution has
a clearly defined, set mechanism to monitor the learning outcomes. Attendance is
compulsorily taken for every lecture. Tutorials hours are fixed. The tutorials and
assignments are corrected within a short duration and the marks are entered in work
register, which acts as a ready reckoner for the academic progress of the students. Based
NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 157
on the participation in the class and the marks scored in the tutorials and assignments, the
student level is judged by the staff member and appropriate action is taken. At the end of
each periodical test, progress reports which consist of unit test results and attendance
status are submitted to the office for further action. Counseling is given to slow learners.
Parents of such students are called to meet their respective faculty member, if required.
As the entire courses are continuously assessed, students who lag in these courses are
given additional help and guidance. The faculty members are encouraged to conduct
surprise tests, quizzes, etc. to monitor the academic progress of each student.
6.5.7. How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms
and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders?
The institution has evolved a stakeholders‟ web by forming different platforms like
College Advisory Board, alumni, Parent Teacher Meet and various committees with a fair
representation of students. The IQAC in the planning process considers feedbacks
collected from all the stakeholders to prepare perspectives on development. These
developmental perspectives are discussed in the respective meetings of Advisory Board,
PTA and alumni. The reflections of the meetings are incorporated in the plan. The college
has developed evaluation tools for stakeholders to record their opinions, suggestions and
objections for constructive developments for future.
Any other relevant information regarding Governance Leadership and
Management which the college would like to include.

Classes and Question Banks
2. Goal: The college has adapted the best practice of college assembly where the students
presents news headings, current affairs, proverbs, message of college and the sessions
ends with Prayer and singing the national anthem. The colleges aims at inculcating sense
of nationality, unity and integrity of the nation and prevailing equality among the
students, to revitalize the national consciousness and pride of the country among them as
they are the citizens of country. A national Anthem is a patriotic musical composition
that evokes and eulogises history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognize either
by a national government as the official song or by convention through use by the people.
The respect we render during the singing of National Anthem educates the students in
showing respect to the country and to the people.
The practice of college assembly in the college has rewarded positively. The students
enter college will before the time and they assemble for this session as soon as the college
bell rings. With great dignity and respect the student, sing the National Anthem in
stipulated time of 52 seconds. This practice has improved the students quality in showing
respect to the nation and it has created a great sense towards the national consciousness
and awareness on current affairs and general knowledge.
3. The Context

belonging to the college are given extra coaching free of cost by addressing their
problems. Their skills are sharpened and chiseled keeping in view the patterns of the final
examinations. They are given a list of important questions prepared by the expert faculty.
This has helped them attain their targets in a better way.
4. The Practice and the Evidence of the Success
The practice has been a great success because the students get opprtnities to sing the
national song in unison. every day students of all facilities get an opportunities to meet all
the teachers. Besides this they get an opportunities to listen to the highlights of news,
current events and general knowledge. The students aspiring for competitive exams get a
lot of benefit from this practice.
The practice is held on every day and a large number of students and all the lecturers turn
up for the singing of the rewarded National Anthem every day.
Similarly, the college was not able to bring out the best out of the students. The dropout
rate and the failure rate was scaling heights. The college then introduced the college
sponsored Remedial Classes. The students were given extra coaching, free of cost, in all
the subjects in general. The students were given extra guidance in the subjects like
English and maths in particular. The college ensured that the students are provided with
the Question Banks framed by the experienced faculty of the college. This action has
NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 164
resulted in a steep downfall in the failure rate. The Question Banks have facilitated the
students in such a way that their efforts in the preparation of the final exams have started
bearing fruits.
5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Basically no infrastructural or no finance or time based problem has ever been
encountered expect during rain. The students are allowed to assemble on the corridors.
The remedial classes came as a boon for such students. The students are now finding it
easy to combat the problems they were facing. The college required the infrastructure in
the shape of computer systems. The management provided the same from its resources.
The staff was trained by the computer experts. The software required was purchased. The
resources required for the remedial classes were granted by the UGC.

BEST PRACTICE II
1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: DONATE BLOOD – SAVE LIVES
(―Light up a Life with a Gift‖)
2. Goal : Social sensitization of students is the goal of this deed. ― light up a Life with a
gift‖ the motto that drives many students to support the cause and their
enthusiastic response. Every day hundreds of people need blood who victims of
Accident and also people who are seriously ill or women who suffer complications
during and after delivery. The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for
human blood. The very fact that Blood cannot be manufactured and it can only come
from generous donation only indicates and signifies the importance of blood donation.
In 1997, “The world Health organization (WHO) set a target for all blood donors to be
unpaid volunteers. The institution wants to be the part of it. It‟s our attempt to reach out
to the community by connecting them to those who are willing to donate. It is a
significant contribution of saving a life of a patient by donating blood.
Benefits: “If there is infection in the donated blood, the donor is informed and by
treatment his life is also saved. So donating blood is not just humane but also of benefit
to the self,” said Dr Malay Kant Singh.
3. The Context
Blood donation is a noble deed. It is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for
blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it. It is mandatory for potential donor
to connect himself to the cause of blood donation. „The world Health organization‟ has
given clear direction about it. It is a multipronged process. The most crucial challenge
here is spotting and preparing the potential donors among the students.

Relieved of Pain Sense of Gratification
Every day, hundreds of people in India require blood for transfusion, for surgery and in
some other medical emergencies. In many cases especially in open heart surgery, there
is a need for fresh blood, and therefore there is a need for donors. Students are
considered potential donors because of their age and health. So the institution takes it as
special mission and has been preparing the students to this great task in their future life.
NSS and Red Cross units of the institutions conducts blood donation camps in and
around the campus. Not only students but also faculty members take up this mission to
be achieved. The institution is noted for service oriented, community outreach services.
So the institution has conducted three blood donation camps. Our programme is unique
in the sense that student donors always stand by to present themselves in hospitals
NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 167
whenever emergency situations occur. Blood donation is a simple four step process.
Registration, Medical test donation and refreshments. Donors are classified according to
their eligibility and blood group. Faculty themselves set an ideal model for the students
and the society. Their service is perennial and perpetual. Their service is extremely
valuable: Their significant contribution would save the life of a patient. Their cause and
spirit elevates their soul to such a great height that gives a kind of gratification for both
the donor and recipient that is possible only to God Himself.
5. Evidence of success
The institution acts as a bridge between patients and student donors and facilitate the
donors to become life givers and heroes in their own right. The WHO observe world
blood donors day on 14th
June each year to promote blood donation. This is the birthday
of Karl Land Steiner, the scientist who discovered ABO blood group system. The theme
of 2012 world blood donors campaign, “Every blood donor is a
hero” focuses on the idea that everyone can become a hero by giving blood. The head of
the institution enlighten the students about the importance and the value attached to it.
The students donate blood why because, they say they want to help others. The most
common reason cited by the students who don‟t give blood are “they never thought of it
“or I don‟t like needles”. The faculty successfully dispelled their fear by giving a clear
picture of the process and the craving of the patients who are in dire need of it.
The institution has turned the students as a great human beings and humane in their
words, deeds and outlook. They have become not only a knowledge packed graduates
but also a future citizens who stand for values. They have established and linked
themselves to the community, stretch their self and conquer the heart of the world armed
with the great weapon
5. Problems Encountered and Resourced Required
The process of blood donation is simple but the precaution and preparation are of very
NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 168
careful and serious nature. The process of blood donation has to be carried out according
to the recommendations of the world health organization and the directions given by the
govt. from time to time to primary health units.
Blood donation is rather easy and safe for the most people. But some may feel some pain
or a sense of giddiness when the blood is being drawn. The frequency with which the
blood can be drawn depend upon various factors and also the policies of the concerned
land. Donors are screened for studying their health risk in order to make the donation
safe for the recipient. Blood donors are asked many questions regarding their medical
history. Their race or ethnic background is sometimes important since certain blood
types are specially rare ones are more common in certain ethnic groups. The institution
has made all prior arrangements like trained staff and specialized equipments ready for
blood drawing. Teenage girls are at the risk of a reaction but the girls of our institution
are willingly participating and responding positively for this noble practice. Despite the
hurdles and the risks involved the faculty infused spirit among them and are responsible
for the success of this significant mi
