6.2 Does the Institution has a management Information System

6.3 Quality improvement strategies adopted by the institution for each of the following:

6.3.1 Curriculum Development

6.3.2 Teaching and Learning

Vision

The college was established with a vision of providing higher education to girls coming

from that section of the society where they have to leave studies due to financial constraints or

the conservative approach of their family which is against sending daughters to the co-

educational institutions for higher studies. Right from its inception the college is working with

this vision and aiming to make it a centre of academic excellence and imparting value based

quality education to each and every young girl in the campus and carving her into conscious,

responsible, and competent citizen, not only for her own personal growth, but for the society as a

whole.

The values of honesty, devotion, justice, liberty and sincerity summarise our vision to

make these girls the most sought out professionals in the society. We believe that ‘Nothing great

can be achieved in the world without the significant contribution of women’.

Mission

Educating, empowering and enlightening the girls today and equipping them with high social and

moral values to nurture the needs of tomorrow.

Although the curriculum is fixed by affiliating University Dr. B.R.A. University Agra, teachers

in the Board of Studies participate in meetings whenever organized by the university and give

constructive suggestions regarding the curriculum development.

Teaching plans we are prepared for the academic year in accordance with syllabus of

examination prescribed by the affiliating university.

The teaching learning process was facilitated through qualified, trained and

experienced faculty. Apart from class room teaching, students were encouraged to use

library and make power point presentations on topics from their syllabi.

Field visits and a study tour were organized for the practical exposure of students.

Pre University Examinations conducted & evaluated in the college by the subject

teachers, help them to pay attention on poor performing students before the university

exams.

Parents were also informed in PTM about the performance of their wards.

Research has been considered as an important integral part of the academic endeavours

in the college. Seminar and Workshops were organised regularly by the college to

provide expert information and exposure to open discussions to the faculty and

students.

The college promoted faculty participation in research by granting them duty leave if

they demand.

The P.G. students were motivated for pursuing research programmes like M. Phil &

Ph.D. after completion of post graduation.

The Libray/ICT and infrastructive facilities could not be anhanced/add during this

ression. The finishing work of the newly constructed Hall, Conference room and

three class rooms was carrived out.

Health check-up camp.

The planning and implementation of activities was determined through staff meetings

and the decentralisation of work through various committees functional in the college

to help in day to day smooth functioning of the college.

Annexure (ii)

Analysis of Feedback

The main points which were noted from the students’ feedback in this session can be summarised as:

Library: Satisfactory, but following improvements are needed:

(i) More books with new editions should be added.

(ii) Separate reading room with better light arrangements required.

(iii) Inclusion of books/magazines related to competitive exam/general knowledge.

Infrastructure:

Most of the girls were happy with new developments in the infrastructures but they felt the need of more

clean toilets and the change of place of drinking water & better light arrangements in class room. Some

girls also demanded the regular functioning of canteen and facility for sitting in the sun during winter.

Uniform:

Dissatisfied with the colour of ‘dupatta’ and demanded a change in it.

Others:

The classes for English speaking summer camps for vocational courses, and the intercollegiate cultural

competitions including culture of different countries, were demanded by some girls.

The behaviour of the office staff was the main complaint and most of them demanded that

office should behave in a proper manner. Most of the students also demanded the formation of students’

union.

Parents:

In their feedback most of the parents complained about the behaviour of the office staff. Some parents

were in favour of the arrangement of hobby classes and a proper cycle stand in the college for the

vehicles of students.

Alumni:

The alumni members appreciated the infrastructure and the attitude of administration, staff and fellow

students. Some of the Alumni were of the opinion that library should be computerised, open shelf system

to be followed, books related to great personalities & people and new inventions/technology should be

added.


Annexure (iii)

Best Practices – 1

Title of the practice – Character building programmes

The Goal-

To inculcate high character traits among girls alongwith the formal education.

The Context-

While working for the overall personality development of the girls, it was observed that the introduction

of some comprehensive character building programme which many include some physical activities like

yoga & breathing exercises, some spiritual activities like meditation and some value based talks and

lessons through games, will be very much beneficial for girls. Some ‘Art of Living’ courses like Youth

Empowerment Seminar, (YES) Youth Leadership Training Programme (YLTP) and ‘Navchetna’ course

organized in past years were found to have been very effective in this direction. It was decided to make it

a practice to organize such type and programmes for girls in the campus.

The Practice-

Following the decision taken in IQAC meeting held on 19.08.2013, the first ‘Navchetna’ camp in this

session was organized from 23.09.2013 to 27.09.2013, with the help of the Art of Living, Mathura

chapter. About 300 students participated in the programme which was held in the campus during 12.10 to

01:50 pm every day. Sri Vishal Pai, Art of Living teacher from Kolkata trained the students about light

Yogic exercises and Asanas like Surya Namaskar, Pavan Muktasan, Setubandh Asan, Matsyasana etc.

followed by rhythmic breathing, Om Chanting and short meditations. The students were also taught about

very high and deep rooted values of love, sharing, caring, help and service through small motivational

talks, videos and small but interesting indoor games. On the concluding day there was a session of

experience sharing and celebration. In this session the students opened up and disclosed their unique

experiences and finally shared sweets and eatables. All students enjoyed the course as it was designed in

a very interesting manner and according to the psyche of youth. Observing the success if this course and

positive impact on students another ‘Navchetna’ course was organized from 10.03.2013 to 14.03.2013,

during 12.10 to 1.50 pm by another Art of Living Teacher, Miss Nidhi from Faridabad. About 200

students attended and enjoyed the programme.

Evidence of Success-

The success of this practice was evident with the changed & improved behaviour of the girls. In an

atmosphere full of anger, intolerance, frustration and self centred behaviour, the girls who attended the

course were visibly cool, demonstrated patience were more concerned about others and full of liveliness

& enthusiasm.

Problems faced and resources required-

The main problem was to adjust the course time within the time framework of daily classes as the parents

were not ready to send their wards on holidays. Another big issue was to accommodate all girls in a

single room as the finishing work was in progress in the New Hall.

As the course was absolutely free, only ‘Navchatna’ could be organized. Other courses like YES, YES+

and YLTP could not be arranged as these have some mandatory registration fee which was not acceptable

to parents. The college was also able to arrange only the resources like infrastructure, space, sound

system etc. but not the course fees.


Best Practices – 2

Title of the practice– Hosting best performance award

The Goal-

To promote the quest for excellence in different curricular and extracurricular aspects among students the

IQAC decided to give prizes/incentives to the best performer students every year in the following

categories:

(i) Humanities

(ii) Fine Arts

(iii) Sports

(iv) Social science

(v) Commerce

(vi) Attendance

The Context-

During the last few years the argent need for promoting the spirit of competition and enhancing the quest

for academic excellence in all the faculties, was greatly felt. It was in this context that after meetings with

the staff and resolving in IQAC it was decided to host these awards every year. The purpose of this

practice was to bring out the hidden talent and inspire the students to excel in their areas of interest.

The Practice-

A selection committee of the senior teachers was formed for selecting the students in each category. The

nomination of students was then asked from all the staff members. The names of the students in each

category, were then finalised by the selection committee and the recommendations were given to the

college administration for implementation.

Evidence of Success-

The practice created great enthusiasm among students. As soon as the declaration of names of students

was made, there was a big cheer and applaud among them. Their feedback revealed that all students were

inspired to perform better in future.

Problems Faced & Resources Required-

The problem was faced practically in recommending the names of students. In some category there were

very close tie like situation and the selectors faced difficulty in final selections.

No shortage/scarcity of resources was felt for executing this practice.
