Preface

We feel proud to submit herewith the Self Study Report (SSR) of our college for the purpose cycle-

I assessment and accreditation by the NAAC. In this report, we have tried our best, to focus on

the strength, weakness, opportunity and challenges in respect of our college.

Chandrapur College was established in 1985 with the aim of dissemination of higher education in

this socially and economically backward rural area of the district of Burdwan in West Bengal.

This college got its affiliation from the University of Burdwan and started its journey with Arts

Stream and has grown with slow but steady steps to introduce eight Honours subjects including

Accountancy (introduced in1995) and eleven Arts General Course subjects including Commerce

General Course. There are about 2388 students on its roll with seventeen full-time teachers, one

librarian, thirteen part time teachers (with permanent status), 5 guest lecturers and ten

members of non-teaching staff. The whole infrastructural development of the institution

depends on the revenues earned by way of fees and other means, viz. Area Development Fund

of MLA and MP, State Govt.’s Building grant, UGC grant etc. Despite facing a lot of problems in

the way of growth, the college is making effort to impart quality education and helping the

community of this comparatively backward region.

We, on behalf of the IQAC of our college, congratulate all the members of the teaching and non-

teaching staff for their sincere effort for preparing the college for accreditation. We also

congratulate our Governing Body for rendering all sorts of cooperation and encouragement

which have enabled us to face NAAC for accreditation.

We are now waiting for the quality inspection by the NAAC in order to get accreditation status

which will undoubtedly help us to achieve our desired goal in the field of higher education in the

present context.

Principal,

Chandrapur College.

CRITERION I

CURRICULAR ASPECTS

these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other

stakeholders.

Chandrapur College has a distinct vision mission and objectives as a centre of

higher education in the remote backward locality of Burdwan District under the

jurisdiction of Katwa Sub Division and Police station. People of the locality were

mainly agrarian ; but they gazed also at the world outside, felt an urge for the

succeeding generation that they should be acquainted and equipped with

enlightenment beyond rural complacency. Lack of transport and communication

stood a hindrance to the achievement of that goal. Since the inception in 1985,

the institution has been remaining the main destination of the school leaving

learners for higher education in Humanities. To make provisions for continuing

education after school, to make them competent and eligible for job

opportunities outside the local boundary and to make them good citizens of the

country through value based quality education have remained the objectives of

this institution.

Since the young learners of the locality and of the areas in vicinity come of poor

economic background and from the Minority Community, the college has

cherished a mission of becoming a centre of higher education catering to the

need of poor backward section of the society. At the same time it was noticed

that gender discrimination prevailing so far in rural areas had left a large number

of girls students deprived of the opportunity of higher education restraining

them within domestic boundary. The college in the village proved to be the door

step for them in the journey to the vast boundless world through higher


31

education. The increase of the number of girls students year by year remains as

the real and statistical support for this view.

Under these circumstances, the institution has set up its vision of spreading the

light of knowledge among the learners of poor backward and Minority

Community, particularly, emancipating the girls students from the darkness of

ignorance and leading towards the world of knowledge and self reliance.

The mission of the college has remained for long to extend all out support to the

students and maintain a learner friendly atmosphere in it.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective

implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate

through specific example(s).

In view of effective implementation of the curriculum, the college at present

offers to the students options for one from 8 (eight) Honours subjects along

with two General Combination subjects for pursuing Honours Course and for

Towards the beginning of each academic session, Teachers’ Council reviews in its

meeting reviews the University prescribed syllabus and the Departmental Heads and

teachers discuss the requirement of classes for covering the syllabus content through

theoretical classes and also through practical classes wherever necessary. Accordingly a

time table for allotment of classes is framed for each academic session – One master

routine each for Arts and Commerce Streams. Every Department follows its own

departmental routine abstracted from and based on master time table. With changes in

curriculum and syllabus the college procures books in library for use of both students

and teachers. Some of the departments have their own departmental library with the

provision of lending books to students on small scale. Some of the departments have

computers with browsing facility. Teachers and students can avail themselves of the

computer related ICT for their academic benefit. The college office is computerized with

useful and updated software for running admission and accounting. The central library

also is computerized with INFLIBNET connectivity and students can search books in

library on their own by using the computer.


33

At the end of each academic session, the students have to appear at the final

examinations conducted by the university and the degree is awarded at the end of

Three Year Degree Course when they go through all the three parts successfully and

pass out. To prepare the students for final examinations conducted by the university,

students are given Test Examinations and Class Tests. To the development of their

personality they are given options for joining NSS and other extension activities. Besides

their regular on campus activities, the volunteers of 2 (two) NSS Units organize Special

Camps of certain objectives and programmes. Blood Donation Camp is organized on 12

January of every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.

volunteers are made aware of their social commitment and to extend their learning and

skill to the service of society in view of becoming good citizen of the country.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from

the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and

improving teaching practices?

To translate the curriculum effectively teachers are provided with University

framed syllabus and academic calendar. Before finalizing the proposed draft

syllabus departmental Heads are invited to participate in university organized

workshop and they are allowed by the college to attend the workshop to put

their observations and exchange and share their views on the subject with

others. Besides, the teachers are allowed to participate in Orientation

Programmes and Refresher Courses organized by Academic Staff Colleges of

several universities in view of their skill development as well as career

subject generally Principal meets the concerned departmental Head and

teachers to discuss the matter to resolve upon the measures to be taken.

Principal takes initiatives to purchase relevant books, and other study materials

to cope with the change. To implement the whole curriculum properly, utmost

care is taken in framing both master routine and departmental routine on the

basis of availability of teachers and classrooms in such a manner so that quality

teaching can be provided to the students and completion of the curriculum can

be ensured within the stipulated time span with sufficient number of classes

allotted.

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as

industry, research bodies and the University in effective operationalisation of

the curriculum?

For effective operationalisation of the curriculum, the college is in constant

touch with the university and carries out the instructions received from the

university from time to time. There is no option to contact or interact with

beneficiaries such as industry and research bodies since the college imparts

undergraduate education only in non applied subjects.


35

1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff members to the

development of the curriculum by the University? (Number of staff

members/departments represented on the Board of Studies, student feedback,

With the changes of time and trends, the curriculum taught in the Under

Graduate level requires to be revised and remolded. The initiative to that end is

taken at the University level through statutory bodies like Board of Studies,

Under Graduate Council and Executive Council.

Board of Studies for a subject is to design the draft syllabus for consideration of

the Heads of the departments in affiliated colleges in a workshop organized by

the Board of Studies for respective subject. Whenever invited to attend such

workshops, the teachers of this college actively participated in the programme

by studying the draft syllabus and exchanging/ sharing their views with others

and proposing the changes to finalization of it so that it could be forwarded to

Under Graduate Council and Executive Council for approval. This can be

considered as feedback from the teachers. As for feedback from the students’

end, their results in the final university examinations are indicative of the

difficulty/ manageability of the curriculum. Apart from this, collection of

feedback from the students at the end of the course in the third year through a

questionnaire filled in anonymously is to be done and the result analysis of the

same is to be conveyed to the university.

� Credit transfer and accumulation facility

� Lateral and vertical mobility

The university offers a wide range of options for Honours and Elective subjects.

Being a rural college with a limited official, infrastructural and faculty support the

college cannot provide so many options to the students. However, attempts have

been made for providing as much flexibility as possible to enable the students to

pursue subjects and to move from one discipline to another within a short span of

time. A student taking an optional / elective subject can change within a notified

time. A student can also change over to new course of study after taking

admission provided seats are vacant there in the course or subject he intends to

shift to. UG courses are usually of 3 years; however, a student is allowed

maximum five years to complete it. The college provides for core option as well as

elective options. The core option is in Honours subjects and the elective option is

in General course (as shown earlier in chart. Vide section 1.1.2)

At present the college offers as many as seven options in Honours Course and ten

options in General Course from Arts Stream added to Honours Course in

the class room such as LCD projector, Laptop etc. supplement the university

curriculum as well as the vision and mission of the college.


41

1.3.2 What are the efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize the

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

needs of the dynamic employment market?

curriculum, and efforts are made to solve these problems. Students are advised

to consult relevant books related to curriculum. They are taught the skill to write

answers to model questions.

Teachers make use of audio-visual media to make the curricular matters

attractive to the students. Though there is no direct career course, students are

advised to make use of their basic knowledge in the conventional courses of Arts

46

CRITERION II : TEACHING – LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission

process?

Admission to the college is normally done on the basis of criteria set by the

Before 2013-14 academic session admission took place in two phases. One phase

was meant for Hons. Course students and the other for General Course students.

For the students seeking admission to Hons. Courses, merit lists were prepared

on the basis of marks obtained in the Higher Secondary Examination, for display

on the college notice board. The candidates featuring in the merit lists were

asked to attend counseling session on the fixed day/ days and get themselves

admitted till the seats were vacant. In case of General Course students the

Courses to the responsibility of the respective colleges. From 2015-16 session,

again, as per Government directive all admissions were done through its own on-

line system of the college. In all cases, however, admission was purely merit

based. The entire process of admission with the details of eligibility criteria along

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and

student profiles annually? If yes, what is the outcome of such an effort and how

has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

Yes, there is an Admission Committee which monitors the whole admission

process and reviews it from time to time so that seats do not remain vacant. The

Admission Committee decides on the following:

1. Admission guidelines and schedules

2. Criteria for admission as per university norms

3. Finalization of Merit List

4. Areas of concern during the admission process and their solutions

The IQAC Coordinator and the TCS supervise the whole procedure. All

notifications regarding admission process, eligibility criteria, prospectus, rules


49

and regulations, choice of subject combinations and fees etc. are displayed in the

college website and also in the Notice Board. The merit lists of all applicants also

are displayed in the College website and the candidates can download admission

forms with unique ID Number. The entire process is transparent and in case of

instant crises the Admission Committee discusses the issues and resolve upon

them. These issues are reviewed in the next year to check the repetition of

diverse crises regarding admission and attempts are made to make the

admission process clear and transparent as far as possible. During the time of

admission one enquiry counter also is opened for ready assistance for the

students.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for following

categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the

institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National

commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The college appreciates the policy framework stated in UGC XI plan which speaks

of access and inclusion of diverse groups in admission. Accordingly, the college

follows the SC,ST,OBC,MC ,PH reservation policy. It also gives special attention to

admission of differently abled students. A great number of students come from

the minority community of the society. The college being situated in a rural

backward area the participation of women in higher education remained very

low for years. But hopefully, the picture has been brightened in the recent years.

There are some departments like Bengali, Sanskrit, History, and Philosophy

where the number of female students runs almost parallel to the number of

male students. Thus the college reflects the national commitment to diversity

and inclusion by giving access to diverse kinds of students to the institution.

Community families and could not attend classes regularly owing to their other liabilities

and familial compulsion. To help them the College arranges remedial and tutorial

classes.

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

structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?

The teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the college are appropriately

structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcome. The

three aspects of teaching, learning and assessment can be related to three

quarters of stakeholders, namely, faculties, students and Governing Body along

with TC and university. Faculties, on their part, are well qualified, trained, updated

and research oriented; they take classes regularly. Students, on their part, are to

attend classes, tutorials, remedial classes; they are to join also extension activities

through NSS and sports and cultural activities. Governing Body, TC and university,

on their part upholds occurrence of class tests, test examinations, tutorials,

remedial coaching and career counseling. Non teaching staffs’ role of active

assistance remains supportive and contributory to the strategy-structure. The

structure can be shown in the following diagram:


74

2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the

social and economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship,

innovation and research aptitude developed among students etc.) of the

courses offered?

As per recommendation of the IQAC the college authority has adopted the

following programmes to enhance the social and economic relevance of the

courses offered:

• Soil testing for the benefit of local people under the supervision of Geography

Department.

• Career Counseling Cell for the College students.

• Remedial Coaching for S.C, S.T and minority community students.

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?

Heads of all departments collect information from students’ progression,

performance and results of the university examinations. Sometimes parents are

called to have an open discussion and their views and suggestions are sought.

Then those data are placed in the meeting of T.C, Governing Body for analysis.

After that the college plans to overcome various barriers in teaching learning

progress.

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

outcomes?

The Principal monitors the learning procedure through consultation with IQAC,

Teachers Council, and respective departments. The institution monitors and

ensures the achievement of learning outcomes through the following:


75

• Monitoring whether classes are held regularly as per routine

• Monitoring and analyzing the results of the students

• Holding of tutorial classes

• Holding of Remedial classes.

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.

Yes, the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation as an

indicator for evaluating students’ performance. After the publication of the test

examination results and university examination results (Part-I and Part-II)

teachers meet in Teachers’ Council’s meeting presided over by the Principal.

They discuss and analyze results. To overcome the shortcomings of the students

several measures like more class tests, more text books, study materials, more

tutorials are suggested. Teachers also are requested to be alert on their part.

meetings of different Committees or Bodies. The Principal gets feedback of the

views and reviews expressed in these meetings either personally or being

Body. From the notice of the following Governing Body meeting, members of

the management are informed of the rising issues and they get details of the

issues and related activities from the meeting. Thus to the top management or

performance in near future.

As for the office staffs, the principal/Teacher-in-charge provides a work schedule

calendar to the Head Clerk and the Accountant of the college at the beginning of

the year to be distributed among other office staffs. The Head clerk and the

Accountant monitor whether the work is done with due time and report the

same to the Teacher-in-charge.

The process discussed above serves as a tool for performance appraisal of the

office staff.

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 available financial resources effectively and judiciously.


145

6.4.2 What are the institutional mechanisms for internal and external audit? When

was the last audit done and what are the major audit objections? Provide the

details on compliance.

The college being Government aided organization receives fund from the

Government of West Bengal and therefore all its accounts are subject to audit by

the Government appointed statutory auditors. The books of accounts are made

ready under the tutelage of finance committee convener and the bursar. The

statutory auditors submit report with their observations. The College does not

have any process of internal audit.

The College accounts are audited regularly. The accounts are audited up to the

financial year ended 31-03-2014. There were no significant objections raised by

the auditors.

The Governing Body considers the audit observations and the observations are

complied with. The copy of the audit report and the compliances are then

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

A. Has the institution established an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)? If yes,

what is the institutional policy with regard to quality assurance and how has it

contributed in institutionalizing the quality assurance processes?

In view of monitoring Career advancement Scheme of the teachers, the College

established its IQAC in 2014. It became regularly operative with its official set up in

2015.

Besides monitoring the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) and promotion of the

teachers, it is imperative to the institution to get itself accredited through

assessment by NAAC by a certain deadline. IQAC is entrusted with the responsibility

of preparing the Self Study Report (SSR) of the College. In the immediacy of these

two issues, institutional policy of quality assurance is implied, since the faculties

have to attain certain eligibility for their CAS and promotion and the institution also

has to enhance its quality to a certain standard for assessment and accreditation by

NAAC. It is the demand of the time that both the faculties and the institution have to

enhance their quality to a certain standard to reach their goal. Consequently, the

quality assurance processes are bound to be institutionalized. Some of the Quality

policies adopted by the College are as follows:

• Regular class attendance by the students.

• Regular class attendance by the teachers.

• Motivating teachers in undertaking Minor/Major Research projects.

• Flexible attitude of the College authority in providing opportunities to the

faculties in participating in Orientation Programmes, Refresher Courses,

seminars, workshops and conferences.

• Maintaining discipline in the campus.


148

B. How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by the management

/authorities for implementation and how many of them were actually

implemented?

The following are the proposals submitted by the IQAC to the Governing body

for approval:

• Accreditation of the College is to be obtained through assessment by NAAC

at the earliest.

• Various subcommittees be formed and activated for preparation of NAAC

assessment.

• Ramp should be constructed at the entry of the College building and wheel

chair(s) be purchased to facilitate the movement of the physically challenged

students in the campus.

• Rain Water Harvesting should be introduced in the College.

• Vegetation waste management should be introduced in the College.

• Provision for soil testing should be made in the Geography Deptt. of the

College.

• The College should publish a Journal of its own with ISSN.

• New Journals should be subscribed for Library more books should be bought.

• Introduction of new subjects in the College should be attempted.

C. Does the IQAC have external members on its committee? If so, mention any

significant contribution made by them.

Yes, the IQAC has two external members on its committee. One of them is Dr

Ranajit Bandyopadhyay, former Principal of neighbouring Dr B. N. Dutta Smriti

Mahavidyalaya and the other is Prof. Sirajul Islam, former Principal of this very

college. Dr Bandopadhyay had been a very efficient administrator and got his

college assessed and accredited by NAAC twice in his tenure as Principal. His

suggestions and guidance remained effective and significant in preparation of Self


149

Study Report (SSR) for NAAC assessment. Prof. Sirajul Islam also provided

feedback from his experience.

D. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective functioning of the

IQAC?

The College has just formed its Alumni Association and the members are trying

to organize the body and make it functional. Any specific contribution from their

end is still awaited. As for students, they are not in a position to contribute to

the effective functioning of IQAC.

E. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from different constituents

of the institution?

Some senior faculties and an office staff are accommodated in the IQAC.

6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for quality assurance of

the academic and administrative activities? If yes, give details on its

operationaisation.

There is a healthy relationship of mutual trust and cooperation between the

faculties and staffs of the College. It is not difficult to realize that both

academic and administrative activities of the College are interrelated. None of

the two types can run independently. Academic activities like admission and

examination run on the policies framed by the both quarters of the staff,

teaching and non teaching, in their respective bodies like Teachers’ Council and

Non Teaching Staff Council. Administrative activities also run by the policies

framed in the Governing Body representing stakeholders from all quarters.

Respective sub committees also participate, in their way, in policy making and

execution. Thus the existence of an integrated framework is felt which is


150

effectively operative and contributory to quality assurance. The Principal, the

Governing Body and the IQAC also appreciate the necessity of quality

assurance in the activities of the College.

6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective implementation of

the Quality assurance procedures? If yes, give details enumerating its impact.

No formal training is provided to the staff by the College for effective

implementation of quality assurance procedures. However, the Principal

motivates teachers whenever he meets them in the Teachers Council meeting

and elsewhere. Teachers are motivated to pursue more research oriented

academic works and to upgrade and update themselves for imparting quality

teaching. Office staffs are motivated to be well equipped with upgrade and

updated technical knowledge and skill in the field of application of IT.

6.5.4 Does the institution undertake academic audit or other external review of the

academic provisions? if yes, how are the outcomes used to improve the

institutional activities?

Day-to-day academic activities are reviewed by the principal. Teachers’ Council

also reviews the academic performance of the students and IQAC reviews and

monitors career advancement of the faculties. In every meeting, the Governing

Body takes cognizance of the academic activities on the basis of Principal’s report.

External review is made whenever faculties apply for career advancement. The

Principal is entrusted to act on the outcomes of the reviews.


151

6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the

requirements of the relevant external qutality assurance agencies/regulatory

activities?

The quality assurance policies made are in alignment with the aspirations and

standard of the parent University. The College is affiliated with Burdwan

University, and approved by UGC. All compliances are made as per the

requirements of these two bodies, from time to time.

6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review the teaching

learning process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of operations and

outcome?

The strength and weakness of the teaching learning process are first identified by

the Teachers Council. Performance of the students in the internal evaluation

through Test Examination is put under the scanner. Corrective and remedial

measures are taken for the weak learners. Governing Body also reviews teaching

learning process from time to time.

6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies,

mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders?

The institute communicates its quality assurance policies to the stakeholders

through;

• Holding meeting

• College prospectus

• Wall up of the notice

• College website: www.chandrapurcollege.ac.in


152

The IQAC in its meeting inculcate the spirit of institutional policies among the

members. Senior members of the IQAC then spread those policies among other

colleagues as well as students.

The institution communicate its policies and outcomes to the external

stakeholders from the platform of the Governing Body, where three University

representatives one donor member and one member nominated by the

Government remain present.

Details of academic matters and rules and regulations are available in the College

Prospectus.

All important matters and academic policies are notified in the Notice Board for

the students.

7.1.2. What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

The college is situated in rural area. So, the college does not pose any threat to

the environment and the functions of the college are generally eco-friendly. The

teachers, staff, and the students of the college are conscious of their own

environment and they do nothing which endangers the environment.

• Energy Conservation- To save energy, power saving electrical gadgets like CFL

bulbs have been installed within the college campus.


155

• Rain Water harvesting- The college authority has recently established rain-

water harvesting plant within the campus by holding the rain water and to

create awareness among the students and staff for the consequence of water

scarcity for next generation.

• Plantation- The NSS Units functioning under the supervision of the Programme

Officers often organize tree-plantation in the campus. These planted trees are

also maintained carefully by the college authorities.

• Carbon Neutrality - The college at its own level has taken up certain preventive

measures to neutralize the emission of carbon-dioxide. The college has two

flower gardens and one orchard to make the campus evergreen. The students

are very careful to protect these gardens. The campus is smoke free. The dead

leaves and waste papers are dumped in a pit and are not allowed to be put on

fire.

• Increase of CFL Lamps- The college always tries to use low wattage CFL lamps

and tubes instead of using high wattage bulbs.

• Emphasizing over the use of bicycle as a means to eco-friendly mode of journey.

• Installation and maintenance of Green Generators in the college compound.

• Emphasis over the use of public transportation system instead of using private

cars emitting enormous CFC.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have

created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

• Departments organize students’ seminar.

• Eco-friendly approach for using of server database for keeping various records,

enable us for less use of papers


156

• The College has already installed CCTV in all important points for proper super

vigilance of valuable resources of the College.

• Faculties can purchase library books.

• Faculties are given study leave to be sanctioned by the Director of Public

Instruction, Government of West Bengal to complete their Ph.D. works.

• Principal delegates’ authority through creating various sub-committees which

reflected de-centralization.

• Two big movable notice boards have been provided to the Student’s Union on

which they can paste posters to remain the College walls clear and environment

friendly.

• A detailed attendance register for the teachers is maintained for recording

arrival, departure, classes allotted, classes taken, reasons for not taking of

classes, leaves taken by the teachers. This is authenticated by the counter

signature of the Principal. It creates a sense of regularity and discipline among

the faculty members. It may be a source of their day to day records which may

be used for their career advancement.

• Observance of Independence day, International language day, Teachers’ day,

World Women’s day, National Youth day etc. creates general awareness among

the students about the relevance of the occasions.

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.

Best Practices-1

1. Title of the Practice: RAIN WATER HARVESTING AND ITS SUSTAINABLE USE

2. Goal: Efficient use of Rain water without depleting the ground water.


157

3. The Context: In recent time, the practice of using rain water from the Water

Harvesting system has been popular in the urban areas of India. Its sustainable

benefits have been felt in the rural areas also. The low lying areas of lower

Deltaic Bengal often get flooded due to heavy rainfall; but the huge water

resource could not be properly stored and utilized. Consequently, a large area of

Bengal fall prey to drought with the ground water level decreasing in the hot

summer. Under these circumstances, the use of rain water stored through Rain

water harvesting system has now been felt to be the need of the moment even

in the rural Bengal. We all know that Rainwater Harvesting provides an

independent water supply during regional water crisis. On this backdrop,

Chandrapur College has also set up a Rainwater Harvesting System using low-

tech method where the rain water is simply captured from the rooftop and

stored in the reservoir. This stored rain water is being used for watering the

gardens maintained by the College during the winter season.

4. The Practice: The rain water has been using especially in the College garden for

watering the flowers, plants, trees and other herbs and bushes. The Students of

Physical Education Department also use this rain water for washing their muddy

hands and feet while doing physical activities in their practical classes.

5. Evidence of Implementation:

At the winter season when the ground water depletion rate is high in this region

due to excessive use water for Boro crops cultivation. During this crisis phase the

rain water reservoir of our College supplies sufficient water for the nourishment

of the flower and fruit plants.

6. Problems encountered and resources required:

Since the water is stored mainly in the rainy season and maximum amount of

water is utilized during the winter season, very little amount is left for the

summer. Moreover, at the year of scarcity of rainfall it seems to be very difficult

to supply water uninterruptedly.


158

Best Practices-2

1. Title of the Practice: POWER CONSERVATION

1. Goal: Sustainable use of electrical energy with minimal electricity consumption.

2. The Context: Electrical energy conservation refers to reducing the use of

electrical energy. The idea of conserving electricity means that we should only

use it when necessary and avoid wasting it. This means doing simple things, such

as turning off lights by a single switch when we leave a class room and by

replacing standard light bulbs and appliances with those that use less electricity.

3. The Practice: There is a single switch on the outside of every class room and we

go through the practice that turning off the switch when leaving that room. The

students are also aware of this kind of practice.

4. Evidence of Implementation:

There is a single switch on the outside of every class room.

5. Problems encountered and resources required:

Since a single switch is used to switch off or on all the CFL lamps, tubes and fans

of a class room, the master switch goes soon out of order.

• Participation in UGC sponsored Area-based Adult Education during the period 1990 -1992.

• Students participated in games and sports, NSS regular activities and Special Camps has been organized in every year, blood

donation camp, etc.


249


Strength –

Good academic discipline and continuous monitoring system

Weakness –

Inadequate transport facility for attending classes on regular basis from different parts of the surrounding area as the college

located in a remote village

Opportunity –

Most of students are engaged as professional in the field of Income Tax practice, Advocate and Financial Accounting (Computerized

FA) for purpose of auditing the Sole Proprietorship business in the present scenario, some students are engaged in self business and

it may increased in near future. Our department always inspired the students to pursue professional courses like CA, ICWA, CS, MBA,

LLB etc. for their future prospects.

Constraints –

There is a declining trend in Commerce education in West Bengal because of uncertain employment opportunity in present socio-

economic scenario. Beside, the university syllabus is not up-to-date for practical based accounting practice.
