II. 1. 3: Challenges
During the process of developmental activities, JMC faced several challenges, and still we
have to overcome many of them along with some new ones. As a community campus, social
56
mobilization is essentially required for its advancement, which is not a less difficult task.
The main challenges which appeared in the development and smooth functioning of the
campus are can be listed as follows:
• Sustainability of the academic programs
• Develop human resources as per market demand
• Good governance
• Limited land area
• Institutional Relationship with national & International Educational Institutions
• Quality Assurance
• Research with social relevance and Publication
• Human Resource Management & Faculty Development
• Apply new pedagogy & application of information technology in teaching and learning.
• Re-accreditation with quality improvement
• Preparing and developing infrastructures of Deemed University
• Social mobilization and raise the participation of community to the larger extent.
• Obstacles in raising the fee to a reasonable level due to the pressure of different student
unions.
• Need to increase the facilities and incentives to the teaching and non-teaching staff within
the framework of limited financial resources.
• Special plan to be prepared to operate extension and outreach programs.
II. 1.4: Development Initiatives:
Development initiatives are concerned with the new plan and process to achieve a particular
aim and solve the problem of the campus. JMC has practised several plans and processes to
achieve the settled goals and objectives. The inception of an institution calls forth to the
developmental initiatives, so as to bring it in the stage of advancement is also a continuous
process.
The development initiatives practised in JMC are as follows:
• Painstaking effort to establish and run the campus by the local community, social
workers, social organizations, academics and the educationists. Their encouragingly
continued participation has sufficiently contributed to the development of the campus.
• Financial contributions by the donators in the form of patrons, senate members and
free service of founder teachers and staffs.
57
• Support of the community and the local body to acquire the public land and get
ownership from the government.
• In the beginning, the campus building was constructed from the donation of local
community; later the infrastructures including the building structure was constructed
from the internally generated income and external aid obtained from UGC and Indian
Embassy.
• Quality enhancement and increasing student support program has resulted in
increment of the student enrolment.
• The latest reforms in the campus such as new academic programs, introducing job
oriented non credit courses, reformed library system with on-line facilities, computer
literacy for all, regular publication of research journal and mini-research projects,
arrangement of supporting committees, reformation of academic Departments, units
and cells, publication of information, continued interaction with stakeholders and their
important feedbacks have been the most important parts of development initiatives.
II.2: Self Study Report Preparation.
II.2.1: About the Self Study Report (SSR): How it is understood.
During the stages of developmental process, change and modification of higher education in
new horizon is inevitable. University Grants Commission (UGC), the umbrella organization
of all universities in Nepal is on the line to run Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA)
program. QAA is granted to an institution that meets all the requirements for acquiring
quality in higher education. It is the system that evaluates and monitors educational
institutions and their programs on the basis of minimally required and predefined
criteria/standards. It also provides an opportunity to the related educational institutions to
improve the performance and correct the weaknesses.
In real sense, accreditation process aims to enable the academic institutions to produce
competitive employable and acceptable human resources with technical and skilled
knowledge through the process of reorganization and acknowledgement.
Self study report (SSR) is the process of evaluating assurance of accreditation oneself. SSR is
also the system of identifying one’s own proper strength and weaknesses and thereby
formulate appropriate plan to improve and modify the deficiencies. Under the provision of
SSR, activities and programs of institution including the goals, objectives, and strategies, and
teaching-learning processes are critically examined, so as to assure quality and accreditation.
58
II. 2. 2 : Formation of SSR Team:
In order to prepare Self Study Report for the reaccreditation, the Campus Management
Committee formed a three members SSR committee in Poush 12, 2073. The committee was
given due authority to work for SSR. The team was comprised of:
Biranji Gautam - Coordinator
Devilal Sharma - Member
Rajendra Paudel - Member
II. 2. 3: Approaches:
The SSR team of JMC followed a number of approaches to prepare the Self Study Report.
Firstly, we participated in orientation programs held by UGC in our own and in other
campuses. After we received the main idea about the process and procedures of
reaccreditation, we visited some accredited campuses in the country. Returning from the visit
we organized a discussion program with different stakeholders. We collected the necessary
data by mobilizing the related departments. After preparing the primary draft we took it into
the interaction with the stakeholders once again and completed it incorporating their useful
feedbacks.
II. 2. 4: Interaction with Stakeholders:
JMC is continually making interaction with the different sections of the society. The campus
has already conducted the interaction with the district level government authorities, political
party leaders, social leaders, parents and guardians, industrialists, businessmen, tourism
professionals, academicians, officials and student representatives. Significant feedback has
been obtained from the interaction programs. The obtained feedback has become an important
pathway to bring reformation in academic, teaching-learning, job oriented training, faculty
development, student support, public information, extension and outreach, research,
consultancy, and infrastructure development of the campus.
II. 2. 5: Validation:
Management committee is the supreme governing body of the campus. All the significant
decisions about the campus are taken or sanctioned by the CMC. After the SSR team
prepared the report, it was discussed in detail among the stake holders and various concerning
departments, units and cells and forwarded to the CMC for the final approval. There was a
rigorous discussion in the CMC on every details recorded in the report and finally the body
approved it unanimously.
