Self Study Report -2015, Municipal College, Rourkela.

PREFACE

Municipal College, Rourkela, a premier educational institution of the state, has emerged

from the womb of industrial tract of Sundargarh district of Odisha in the year 1978. The

college was established by some prominent citizens of steel city, under the aegis of

Rourkela Educational Development Society (REDS) and patronized by Rourkela

Municipality. Started with Intermediate classes in Arts, Science and Commerce, the UG

programmes such as B. Com., B.Sc., B. A. were opened in the college in the academic

session 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1984-85 respectively. The self financing BBA course was

introduced in the academic session 2009-10. Today in the 37th year of its existence, the

college boasts of nearly 1500 students in different UG programmes having 35 teaching

faculties and 57 non-teaching staff members. At present, the college offers both Honours

and Pass level teaching in 13 and 12 subjects respectively.

The college, being committed to fulfil its mission and vision, is empowering the youth of

western part of our state by providing quality education. The college provides an academic

and salubrious ambience to the students to pursue their study, co-curricular and extra

curricular activities. The college has maintained its glory and tradition against all odds

keeping pace with societal and technological advancement. This would not have been

possible without the commitment and consistent effort of all the stakeholders of the college.

Though the college has witnessed significant achievements in students’ enrolment,

performance in the examinations, innovation in teaching and learning, expansion of

infrastructure, extension activities etc. a lot is to be done in ICT based teaching and learning

process, automation of college office and library, making the campus Wi-Fi, introduction of

job oriented courses, etc. In spite of shortage of man power, paucity of funds, existence of

higher secondary wing in the same college building, our various innovations and best

practices outlined in this report bear witness to the organized, transparent and collaborative

functioning of the college.

( i )


The college has been actively involved for the last six months in the preparation of its re-

accreditation process (2nd cycle) with a team spirit. All efforts have been taken to get co-

operation from all the stakeholders for collecting data and particulars as required for self

study report. This has been prepared by a team of teachers in charge of NAAC steering

committee after due consultation and brainstorming with each and every stakeholder. In the

process of preparing this report, we have experienced the avenues in which we have

excelled and the areas that are yet to be addressed. This has given us an opportunity to have

a thorough self evaluation which encouraged us to adopt necessary measures for

improvement.

We shall be honoured and feel exalted if the NAAC Peer Team visits and assesses our

college. We hope their inputs and suggestions will spur us to realize our goals and

objectives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY- SWOC ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

Nestled in the heart of Rourkela Steel City, Municipal College spreads quality higher education in the western part of Odisha that boasts of a rich culture and heritage. Standing splendid and serene are the two-storied buildings of Municipal College, Rourkela, facing the Steel Plant. This temple of learning has stood out as a beacon of knowledge and a dream destination for intellectual pursuit not only for the students of Odisha but also for those of neighbouring states like Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. This renowned college has distinguished itself by preserving its tradition and simultaneously marching ahead with changing times to make its presence felt in the nationally competitive higher education by synergizing healthy practices with institutional management. Its locational advantage and proximity to the modern temples of technology and education like National Institute of Technology, Biju Pattnaik University of Technology, Rourkela Institute of Management Studies and Software Technology Park of India provide strength for which our college has become the cynosure for ambitious students. Above all, excellent work culture, organized, dedicated and committed teaching faculties and non teaching staff sharing the ideals of the institution, participatory teaching-learning process, student-centric activities, adoption of innovative strategies in teaching and learning, able leadership and well stocked library have contributed to the strength of our institution. Our students have been showing their excellence in every sphere, be it curricular, co-curricular or extra curricular activities since the inception of the college.

The college has achieved significant milestones like the conferment of accreditation with Grade ‘B’ by NAAC in 2009 in its 1st Cycle. Here we do not hesitate to express the fact that weaknesses and the challenges as pointed out by the NAAC Peer Team have not been wholly addressed and redressed. But we have made sincere efforts to address the suggestions, though at a slow pace, to take our institution to a new height of excellence. Coping with financial stability, expanding ICT enabled teaching and learning facilities to all departments, automation of office and library, provision of e-learning facilities, making the campus with Wi-Fi, expanding infrastructural facilities, enhancing students’ support services etc. are the areas of concern which stand as weaknesses and challenges for us.

01. CURRICULAR ASPECTS:

Municipal College offers six UG programmes in Arts, Commerce and Science and one self financing programme (BBA). The college imparts quality education by fulfilling the higher education needs of the community in tune with its mission and vision. The college strives to uphold the cultural and traditional values among the students by developing personality through holistic approach, inculcating the sense of civic responsibility, social commitment

and patriotism, creating scientific temper, linking them with the society through extension activities and transforming them into the unique icons of the society.

The curriculum of our college is designed and developed by the affiliating university. Along with the core subjects, there is substantial flexibility in choosing electives in all disciplines. At present the college is imparting honours teaching in the subjects like English, Odia, Hindi, Economics, Political Science and History in UG Arts programme. Similarly in UG Science programmes we have Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany & Zoology and Accounting and Management in UG Commerce programme. The academic pursuit of each session in the college is completed strictly adhering to the guidelines of the academic calendar. The skill development programmes like coaching for Entry into Services, organizing personality development programme, quiz, extempore etc. are regular features in our college to enhance the IQ level and communication skills of the students. Experts are invited from reputed institutions, business houses, industries and banking sectors to enlighten our students about regional, national and global employment opportunities. The college organizes seminars by adopting ICT enabled tools, Study Tours, Awareness Programmes on Human Rights, Swachh Bharat Mission, Women Empowerment, Voters’ Consciousness, AIDS, Organ Donation and Transplantation etc. for enrichment of key values among the students.

To ascertain the effect and outcome of the curricular aspects and the quality parameters involved therein, feedback is collected from the stakeholders both in formal and informal mechanism. Since our college has no autonomy to introduce the changes in curriculum, the inputs are communicated to the affiliating university to take appropriate measures.

02. TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION:

The college ensures publicity and transparency in admission process to make the college a unique institution in attracting the students from different background and all sections of the society. The admission process is centrally regulated by SAMS introduced by the Government of Odisha and the college scrupulously implements the reservation rules. The selection of Honours and elective subjects is done by counselling at the college level. Admission to BBA is carried out at the college level strictly following the rules and regulations of the state government. The demand ratio for admission into UG programmes has substantially increased during the last four years.

The college adopts mechanism to assess the different requirements of students in its induction programme, periodical assessment and interaction with elected students’ body. In order to arrest dropout and enhance the academic performance of the students, remedial classes, personal and social counselling with the students and their parents are organized. College fees are waived for students of economically weaker section.


ICT facility is extensively used in science classes and in seminars for teaching learning process. Lesson notes and solved question papers are provided to slow learners. The scientific temperament is instilled by assigning project works, organizing study tours to science laboratories, industrial units inside and outside the state. IQAC, career counselling and placement cells are good learner-centric resources. The faculties are constantly recharged by attending refresher courses, national and state level seminars/conferences/workshops. The IQAC collects the feedback from the students and other stakeholders and prepare the strategic plans for the improvement of academic ambience of the college.

As regards the evaluation process, our college has been recognized as a Zonal Valuation Centre by the affiliating university and we implement the instructions and guidelines issued by the university.

03. RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION:

The college encourages the teachers to apply for minor and major research projects to funding agencies like UGC, DST etc. Four minor research projects have been received by the faculties during last four years funded by UGC. One major research project has been applied by one of the teachers in Chemistry to DST, which was not considered for funding. The college provides necessary support and facilities to the Principal Investigator. We have organized one national level seminar in Chemistry funded by UGC. Another proposal for a national seminar has been applied to UGC for funding.

The college promotes institutional social responsibilities involving the students through extension activities under NCC, NSS and YRC. Eminent persons are invited to inspire the students on various social responsibilities. Awareness programmes on cleanliness, blood donation, blood grouping camps and self defense training for girls students are organized in recent years. In addition, our NCC cadets by participating in national & state level parades and Thal Sainik Camps have brought laurels to the college.

04. INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES:

About 25 % of students are in receipt of financial aid from the different agencies. The students from the reserved categories are given due weightage during admission. The students are encouraged to involve themselves in different extension activities through NCC, NSS, YRC and eco-club. Coaching classes for different competitive examinations are organized through an agency named ‘NEOPHOENIX, ROURKELA’ funded by the government.

Remedial classes and extra classes are arranged for slow learners. The students visit reputed institutions, laboratories, and business houses to supplement their knowledge. The students actively participated in different competitions organized by Students’ Union and other allied bodies. The Career Counselling and Placement Cell provides necessary information and guidance on career options to the


students. The students put forth their grievances through Grievance Redressal Cell and elected student bodies and they are immediately redressed. Our students exhibit their innovative writing skill in college magazine and wall magazine. In the field of games and sports our students have outshone their competitors and brought laurels to the college particularly in Hockey and Cricket. It is a matter of great pride to mention here that splendid achievements have given our students chances to represent at national and international level championships. Similarly the NCC cadets of our college are draped with success and awarded in all major camps at national level. Five of our cadets are the recipients of prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Pratibha Award.

06. GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT:

The Governing Body is the highest policy making and decision taking authority duly constituted by the government, in which the Principal is the Ex-officio Secretary. Keeping in view the institutional strategic plan, the Principal constitutes different committees such as Staff Council, Academic Council, IQAC, Examination Committee, Finance Committee and other sub-committees like Development Committee, Purchase Committee, Budget Committee etc. The governance in the college is democratic and participatory in nature. All the faculties are included in different committees and discharge their duties by using their collective wisdom for all round development of the college. The IQAC, heads of the department and the Academic/Administrative/Accounts Bursars play vital roles in the management of system and functioning of the college. As regards the policies and planning of the college, the Principal seeks support from the staff, students and other stakeholders, the peoples’ representatives, funding agencies and the officials of department of Higher Educations, Odisha and affiliating university.

The management of Finance and resource mobilization is monitored by the Finance Committee and other sub-committees. The role of Accounts Bursar is vital and he gives the necessary suggestions to the Principal relating to financial matters. The college adheres strictly to the finance rules of the state government. The external audit of the college is carried out by the local fund audit/chartered accountants duly appointed by the government.

IQAC of the college monitors different parameters for quality sustenance and enhancement in different aspects. Some of the decisions taken by the IQAC and duly approved by the statutory body and actually implemented in recent years are:

o Construction of new class rooms and laboratory. o Procurement of computers and ICT enabled tools, library books, laboratory

equipments etc. o Arrangement of remedial classes for slow learners.


07. INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES:

The college has initiated a number of innovative practices to fulfil its mission and objectives. It is committed to the cause of empowerment of youth by imparting quality education, developing awareness for social, environmental and other cross cutting issues and preparing them as responsible citizens of the nation. Apart from environmental consciousness, the college has been adhering to the best practices such as excellence in teaching learning, women empowerment, discipline, moral and ethical values like honesty and integrity.

The college has adopted innovative strategies on students’ support system, teaching learning & evaluation process, research & extension activities and infrastructure. The teaching learning and women empowerment are the two best practices which have contributed to the realization of the objectives of our college. The teaching learning has become a pleasing interactive process by introducing ICT enabled teaching methods and the impact is reflected in the decreased dropout rate, outstanding results in the university examinations and students’ progression. Our college has imbibed a conducive environment for girl students to realize their potentials and to become a part of decision making process in the society. The evidence of success of the girl students is reflected in the results of university examinations and getting jobs in different organizations. Our girl students have excelled in the entertainment world and sports arena too.

We know excellence has no limit and there is no easy way out. With our prolonged and consistent efforts coupled with experience and expertise brought in by our excellent staff, we aim to make our institution a cut above the rest in not so distant future.

BEST PRACTICES

BEST PRACTICE – I : Teaching-Learning : A Pleasing Interactive Process. BEST PRACTICE- II : Women Empowerment and Creation of Better Citizens.


BEST PRACTICE – I

1. Title of the Practice – Teaching–Learning: A Pleasing Interactive Process

2. Goal: To introduce ICT enabled teaching-learning process along with traditional methods so that teaching becomes a happy experience and learning becomes a reflective exercise to pursue imaginative activities and questions. Inculcating creativity and initiative is possible if students are treated as participants in learning, not receivers of a fixed body of knowledge.

3. The Context: Changes in curriculum are made at regular intervals by the affiliating university and made job oriented. The UG students are given ample flexibility in taking elective and honours subjects. Teaching Module, Study Notes and Lesson Plans are prepared for the college and university examination in order to fulfil continuous evaluation process. Some of the topics of curriculum requires ICT tools for lucid and simple explanation.

4. The practice:

Students are encouraged for Power Point presentation of seminar topics, to take part in debates, field studies and project work. Facilities of Internet browsing are also provided to the teachers and students. Most of the faculty members of Science Departments use LCD projectors and other ICT tools to teach the students. The college gives feedback to the university from time to time in matters relating to courses. These are based on the feedback received from the students and other stakeholders. Senior faculty members of the staff are also the members of the Board of Studies, Conducting Board, Syllabus Committee and other Academic Committees of Sambalpur University and other Autonomous colleges. The students are also enriched with practical knowledge through different experiments/projects beyond the prescribed curriculum.

The institution organizes Extra Mural Talk/Seminars, Remedial classes for weaker students, periodical tests and also provides coaching for Entry into Services.

The students are also spurred on to participate in out-door and in-door games, sports, athletic meets, University/State/National and International level competitions. These features enhance the overall ambiance of the college. The college develops social responsibilities and promotes citizenship roles among the students by the activities of different statutory bodies like Students’ Union, Cultural Forum, NSS, NCC, Red Cross, Eco-Club etc.

5. Evidence of Success: The continuous endeavour by the college and all stakeholders in above practice is reflected in the following evidence of successes: -


• The dropout rate has been lowered substantially. • Most of our students have secured positions in top ten of the University

Examinations in different subjects. • First Class First position in B. Com. Honours has been bagged by our

students in the year 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015. • Most of the our commerce students have established themselves in different

professional courses such as Company Secretary, Charted Accountancy, Cost Accountancy, Management, MBA, MCA etc.

Goal : The clear-cut objective is to create an environment through positive practices for full development of women to enable them to realize their full potential and to serve the community by participating in decision making process in social, political and economic life of the society as well as the nation.

3. The Context: Students life at college must be linked to their life out side the college. They must be awakened for empowerment. Legacy of bookish learning continue to shape our system and causes a gap between the college, home and community. Hence both formal and non formal education is required for the growth of the students which leads to an inclusive growth of the community at large. There is a great responsibility on every citizen to pay due attention to the societal problems and try to eradicate these and by doing so one can understand the real meaning of life and grow as a conscious citizen and a good human being.

4. The Practice: The women students of our college are involved in various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in addition to academic excellence. Women students take admission in our college being attracted to the academic and other fields. Their academic excellence is reflected in the results published by the university. In the field of games and sports as well as NCC, NSS, Red Cross activities, a very good number of women students are involved. The student volunteers do an admirable job to help the people during different natural calamities. They carry out different awareness programmes on AIDS, Blood Donation camp, Swachha Bharat Abhiyan, Law against domestic violence, Traffic and other social evils. Women students participate in Self Defense Programme organized by the college. Our college develops social responsibilities, creates a positive self image, teaches the girls about equal status and promotes citizenship roles among the students by the activities of different statutory bodies like Students’ Union, Cultural Forum, Eco-club, Music Club, Odia Sahitya Sansad, apart from, NCC NSS, Red Cross etc.

POST – ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES Municipal College, Rourkela, keeping in tune with the guidelines of UGC, volunteered for accreditation by NAAC in 2009-10. Consequently, the Peer Team visited the college from 5th to 7th November, 2009. The Peer Team, after a three days visit, handed over the report on institutional accreditation to the Principal in the exit meeting. The Peer Team, in its report identified the areas of weaknesses and recommended the steps to be undertaken for quality enhancement. The college, in spite of the limited resources, shortage of man power and inadequate infrastructure has been making consistent effort to meet the challenges. The following is a brief description on the recommendations by the Peer Team and initiatives undertaken by the college.

New UG and PG programmes and diversification of the existing programme in locally relevant subjects like chemistry, physics, commerce, management and bio-technology may be introduced.

Recommendation: 01

The new UG programmes and diversification of the existing programme could not be introduced by the college because of inadequate infrastructure, shortage of faculties, paucity of funds and retirement of three consecutive Principals within a span of three years. The present Principal has taken initiative to expand the infrastructure facilities which are the basic need for opening of new courses. However, steps have been initiated to introduce Education, Sociology and Computer Science as one of Core/Elective subject in UG level and also to increase the intake strength in Honours subjects in all programmes.

Need-based short term career oriented programmes may be introduced with the financial assistance from UGC, in subjects like – home appliance, vermicomposting, mushroom cultivation, entrepreneurship development, hospitality management, micro-financing, tax and planning, multimedia, mass communication, e-journalism/publication, fashion designing, e-accounting, analytical chemistry, soft skills, communication skills etc.

Recommendation:02

The programmes as mentioned could not be introduced due to the reasons cited above.

Strengthening and upgradation of computer and internet facility and their access in the departments, library and across the campus may be initiated.

Recommendation:03

The Library and Science Departments are provided with computers, printer, internet accessibility through dongle and USB. The Science Departments are also provided with


smart boards. Initiation is being taken for Wi-Fi connection to aid students and staff for academic pursuits. Work is in progress.

Library space and reading room facilities may be enhanced: more books and academic journals are to be added to the library along with the total library computerization and automation, classification and cataloging as well as INFLIBNET facility.

Recommendation:04

More numbers of books in all subjects have been procured for library and steps have been initiated for total library computerization and automation.

RecommendationTeachers may be encouraged to submit research proposals to UGC and other funding agencies and pursue research and publish the work.

:05

A number of research projects have been applied to UGC and other funding agencies. Four minor research projects have been sanctioned by UGC. Two faculty numbers have pursued their research work on their own and have been awarded Ph. D. by the University. Another faculty member has already submitted the thesis for award of Ph.D.

Linkages and collaboration with other institutions may be explored for collaborative teaching, research, consultancy and extension.

Recommendation:06

The steps have been initiated to collaborate Testing Laboratory, Government of Odisha for research work.

Steps be taken for office automation and e-governance. Recommendation:07

The college avails e-governance facilities from Government of Odisha through SAMS for admission purpose, HRMS for salary disbursement & submission of PAR, PRERANA for disbursement of PMS and Medhaburti for disbursement of scholarship. Steps have been initiated by the state government for office automation in transparent accounting system.

To adopt measure for resource generation and resource mobilization. Recommendation:08

The college has constantly taken steps for resource generation from funding agencies like UGC, State Government, WODC, LAD fund of local MLA/MP. We have been able to construct class rooms, chemistry laboratory, commerce block (under progress), multi gym, women’s hostel, Boys’ Common Room, new office room for NCC and NSS. We have procured more computers, printers, scanners, photocopiers, smart boards, LCD projectors.
