PREFACE

Sir Syed College was established in 1967 at Taliparamba of Kannur District, Kerala by a group of visionaries under the aegis of Cannanor District Muslim Educational Association (CDMEA) for imparting quality higher education to the rural and socio economically underprivileged minority sections of the society.

In its 49 years of existence Sir Syed College has evolved as a premier higher educational institution imparting modern education. The prestigious position held by the college in the academic landscape of north Malabar is unparalled and the role of the college in augmenting social and cultural advancement in the region is pivotal.

The institution diligently ensures that education is accessible to all section of the society. The college is fastidious in providing value based high quality, holistic learning. Traditional teaching and learning practices are integrated with innovative methods and greater stress is laid on research.

The college offers academic programmes from undergraduate to research level in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. All the programmes are directed towards the realization of the mission and achieving the objectives while adhering to the values propounded by its founders.

Sir Syed College was accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore with ‘B+’ Grade in 2005 and reaccredited at B Grade with a CGPA of 2.8 in March 2011. The peer team recommendation propelled the college to introspect and improve on quality parameters. During the post accreditation period, the college has made tireless efforts to comply with those recommendations and projects have been implemented to better the infrastructural facilities and academic quality in accordance with it.

The college has undergone massive changes in the last five years. Dynamic young teachers have joined the work force and taken over the responsibility of carrying forward the tradition and legacy of the college. UGC funded innovative course, Post Graduate Diploma in Computational Science (PGDCS), completed its five year term successfully. New academic programmes, B.A. Malayalam and M.A. Arabic, and many certificate courses have been introduced during this period. Resource mobilization from various funding agencies was taken up as a major strategy to augment the infrastructural and teaching-learning facilities.

Research endeavours have been geared up in the last five years with increased participation of students and teachers. A greater number of major and minor research projects are being financed by different agencies. The college succeeded in gaining support from the Department of Science & Technology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India and has been granted



an amount of Rs. 1 crore under FIST program (the Fund for Improvement of Science & Technology Infrastructure).

A spacious auditorium has been constructed to enhance the facility for conducting various activities. A separate PG & Research block and an indoor stadium are under construction as per the vision plan to next decade. These additions are expected to amplify the existing facilities of the college.

For a more effective and meaningful community service the college has instituted a Social Service Wing that works in collaboration with NGOs and CSOs (Civil Society Organizations). The programmes organized by this Social Service Wing focus on sensitizing students and provided them opportunities for experiential learning.

On the administrative front, college office is fully automated with the latest office administration software. Language laboratory is periodically updated and is utilized by the language departments. IT infrastructure is also periodically enhanced. Wi-Fi connectivity is available all around the campus. All the departments are connected with internet through NME-ICT facility. A campus management software is being used for streamlining administrative and academic procedures.

The SSR has been discussed with teachers, students and the management at every stage of its preparation. Introspections and discussions have helped in preparing a precise Self Study Report (SSR).

The SSR is divided into two parts. The first part includes the Preface, Executive Summary, SWOC of the institution, Profile of the college, Criterion wise inputs, Post accreditation initiatives, and Evaluative reports of the departments. The second part provides the annexure furnished with supporting documents for the data provided in the first volume.



EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I. Curricular Aspects

The college is currently affiliated to the Kannur University. The curriculum and admission and evaluation procedures followed are as per the norms and rules prescribed by the University. As an affiliated college, institution lacks the freedom to design curriculum independently. So the scope for realizing the stated vision and mission directly is minimal. However, due to the eminent position of the college more than one-third of the faculties are members in the various academic bodies of the University. Through them the college ensures that its interests, especially those connected to its vision and mission, are safeguarded.

The college offers 13 UG, 5 PG, and 2 Ph.D. programmes in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. Apart from that, UGC sponsored Post Graduate Diploma in Computational Science (PGDCS), various Certificate Courses and several enrichment programmes are also offered through various schemes to suit the vision of the college. These programmes reflect the institution’s commitment to the promotion of human and cultural values, knowledge of one’s heritage, social responsibility, secular life, modern methods of scientific inquiry, self-development, skills in management and business and the importance of value-based education. Invited talks by external experts, seminars, conferences and workshops conducted by various departments also add values to the curriculum.

The UG programmes under Choice-Based Credit and Semester System (CCSS) provides greater flexibility by way of Open Courses and Electives. The curriculum is further supplemented by way of enrichment programmes by the college.

II. Teaching, Learning and Evaluation

The teaching learning process follows a sound and well planned structure. The academic calendar and examination schedule are prepared in advance to help anchor teaching learning process. The institution adheres to student-centered method of teaching and learning for the most part.

Teachers prepare well in advance the semester plan, the teaching plan, schedule for the submission of assignment, unit tests, internal examinations and the seminar presentations. Records of teaching and other activities of teachers are maintained in the “Teachers’ Diary” and audited at the end of each semester.

Traditional modes of teaching-learning are blended with optimum use of ICT to increase student involvement. Campus wide Wi-Fi connectivity and NME –ICT (National Mission for Education through Information & Communication)



facilities, IT Centre, Computation Lab, Media Centre, Language Lab and the Computer Labs of various departments promote the practice of learning through ICT. Smart class rooms and LCD projectors are used for tapping the resources of NPTEL and other open online learning materials.

Academic and all round development of the students are regularly monitored by way of the tutorial system. Remedial classes are conducted under Remedial Coaching Centre and Scholar Support Programme (SSP) of Government of Kerala for weak students. Walks With Scholar (WWS), a specialized mentoring programme sponsored by the Department of Collegiate Education, Kerala imparts personalized additional support to advanced learners.

The college conducts model examinations in a centralized manner at the end of each semester. Unit tests, assignments, book reviews, small projects etc are the responsibility of the departments.

Permanent teachers are recruited as per the UGC, the Kannur University and the state government rules. They regularly update themselves through refresher courses, orientation and training programmes. Adhocs are recruited by the management with the help of the PTA as and when required. About one third of the teachers hold Ph.D. degree.

Enrichment programmes are offered by way of seminars, conferences, workshops and invited talks by the departments and through the programmes conducted by the Career Guidance and Counseling Centre, Entrepreneurship Development Club, Remedial Coaching Centre, NET Coaching Centre, Entry into Service Coaching Centre, Equal Opportunity Cell and Reader’s Forum.

The college Counseling Centre helps to solve the learning and psycho-social problems of the students. Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) monitors the teaching learning process through Internal Quality Records. It also initiates and administers feedback systems to chalk out and suggest enrichment programmes to be offered by various wings of the college.

III. Research, Consultancy and Extension

The institution encourages research in all disciplines. The college has a Research Committee to strengthen the institutional research. It guides the faculty by providing information on funding sources and suggesting area of focus of research, and advising the management and the principal on matters related to research.

Two of its departments are recognized research centers of Kannur University. These research centres have produced 10 PhDs in the last five years. Presently 33 students are undergoing research under 12 supervisors.

Seventeen teachers have Ph.D. degree and another eighteen are doing research. 12 minor research projects and 3 major research projects have been



completed during the last four years. There are three major and one minor ongoing research projects. Most of the faculty members publish papers in refereed journals.

Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India approved the proposal of the college for the Fund for Improvement of Science &Technology Infrastructure (FIST). An amount of Rs 57.5 lakh has been granted by the DST as the first installment out of the sanctioned 1 crore. The fund has been utilized for installing Gas Chromatography & Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) machine and Atmospheric Weather Station as part of improving research facilities. Funds are availed from KSCSTE, Government of Kerala for the students’ projects.

The departments and faculty provide free consultancy services in their areas. The extension activities of the college truly reflect the concern of the institution for the society. The students and the teachers with their know- how move beyond the academics to serve the society outside. New linkages have been formed through extension activities since many of these are conducted in collaboration with NGOs, localites and various governmental bodies. Organisations like NCC and NSS spearhead extension activities of the college. Pain and Palliative Care, health and hygiene classes, medical camps and blood donation camps, anti drug campaign etc are a few among their activities.

IV. Infrastructure and Learning Resources

The college maintains a clean campus with sufficient number of furnished class rooms. All the PG departments are equipped with smart class rooms.

The Students Centre and Ladies’ Retreat provide facilities for rest and recreation. Physically challenged students are ramps, disabled-friendly toilets and other amenities. Canteen and the Students Co-operative Society also serve students.

The women’s cell, LASS (Ladies Association of Sir Syed College) plays a major role in boosting the confidence of girl students and encouraging them to take a lead role in society. It provides skill oriented training in tailoring, mural painting etc to girl students and women of the neighbourhood.

The safety and security of the students is guaranteed by the vigilant functioning of the Committee against Sexual Harassment, Anti-Ragging Committee, and Anti Drug Club funded by National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). CCTV surveillance is also installed to augment the security.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA) renders a major support towards student welfare by providing facilities for transport and pure drinking water. They also fund the cultural activities of the students.

The college ensures creative and democratic involvement of the students by giving a prominent role to the College Students’ Union in the functioning of the college. The union leads the sports and arts activities and the community life of the students. In addition, students are given membership in various official bodies and clubs to inculcate leadership qualities.

VI. Governance and Leadership

The college frames policies and shapes its execution keeping in mind the stated Vision and Mission. Future perspectives and annual plan are formulated by the College Planning Board. The plans are executed by the principal with the support of the College Council and various academic and administrative bodies. The staff and the students are given adequate representation in administrative and academic bodies.

The College Governing Body monitors the activities of the college through term reports submitted by the principal. The college also has mechanisms for monitoring the activities of the faculty and non-teaching staff, developmental programmes, and organizational management under Quality Advisory Committee and Internal Quality Assurance Cell.

The Grievance Cell, Anti-Ragging Committee, Ethics Committee, Discipline Committee and the Committee against Sexual Harassment have been constituted to ensure a hassle-free campus.

The college is bound to comply with the rules of the government for collecting fee from the students. The accounts are subjected to internal and external audit regularly.

As part of the well defined programmes for the welfare of the entire academic community, the College Co-operative Credit Society offers money loan to the staff. The association of non teaching staff maintains a welfare fund to support the retiring members.

VII. Innovations and Best Practices

Consistent and conscious efforts are undertaken to inculcate the spirit of scientific inquiry that leads to innovations. The interest of the institution in innovation is evident in the launch of need-based programmes, promoting research activities, providing residential facilities to students, care given to economically weaker students, wide range of facilities in sports, games and arts, documentation of departmental activities, fully equipped laboratories, IT-based teaching and learning, the publication of the news letter of the college Wings, publication of departmental newsletters such as Papelio of Department of Zoology and Musaphir of Department of Hindi and books through its Publications Division, humanitarian extension services through NCC, NSS, Bhoo Mithra Sena, involvement of the PTA, Alumni and Association for Retired Teachers (ART).

As a social outreach and extension programme, college has adopted the nearby village, Muyyam and with the active participation and involvement of the people of the village vegetables are cultivated in the field of Muyam using organic farming method. The programme of Bhoo Mithra Sena volunteers, the Protection of Sacred Groove was well appreciated.

Programmes like coaching for SC/ST, OBC and minorities, Career Counseling, Placement services and coaching for National Eligibility Test are also conducted periodically.

Apart from the structured methods of taking feedbacks, the system of mid-semester three-tier meetings (of tutors and their students, of faculty and the parents, followed by that of faculty, parents and students) offer spaces for effective informal feedback. This triangular interaction acts as a point of evaluation and brews up corrective actions.

The faculty meetings are held periodically to discuss the feedbacks received and to address the problems and limitations with a view to facilitate the



teaching-learning process in the best way possible. It also offers a point of self evaluation to the staff.

The college reaffirms its commitment to quality and excellence by drawing a well defined set of plans, procedures and practices that are marked by the values of coordination, cooperation, participation, decentralization and democratization.

MISSION

Strive for excellence in education and research and prepare young minds for imbibing knowledge, skills and sensitivity.

OBJECTIVES

The prime objective of the institution is to inspire the students to generate and disseminate new knowledge and to contribute constructively to the field of research. The college envisions to emerge as an epicenter of groundbreaking findings. With this intention thrust is given on research, especially in areas of social utility.

The students are motivated to bring out their creative potential and to nurture the spirit of critical thinking along with equipping them with the skills needed to adapt better to the changing global scenario. The college is constantly striving for a value-based holistic learning by integrating traditional and innovative learning practices to match the highest quality standards. Great stress is laid on how to make practical application of knowledge, attitudes and skills as well as to sensitize and engage students in issues of gender equality, human rights and ecology in order to make them socially responsible citizens. The ultimate objective is to develop a sense of unity in all areas of knowledge.



Vision and mission are communicated to students, teachers, staff and stakeholders primarily through the college calendar which is published annually and given to each and every student and staff of the college. They are communicated through the prospectus of the college which is distributed along with the application forms to all UG and PG programmes. Stakeholders outside the campus are intimated of the vision and mission through the college website. Moreover, they are formally communicated during the proceedings of PTA meetings to the parents and during the training programmes to young teachers. Vision and Missions are stated in major documents sent from the college to the higher authorities such as the University, Government, UGC and other funding agencies. They are also exhibited at the entrance of all the blocks on the campus.

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).

Choice Based Credit and Semester System was implemented by Kannur University in 2009 and the institution has been following the same ever since. The College Council supervises all the curricular activities of the college and formulates the general policy direction every year. A faculty advisor is appointed in each department to support the students in their selection of Elective and Open Courses. Further, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell develops quality parameters and implements the Quality Checking Process through the Internal Quality Record (IQR) system.

At the department level, staff meetings are held to prepare an annual plan to set directions to academic processes following the directions from the College Council and Planning Forum. They also formulate Semester Plan at the beginning of each semester. Teachers, following the directions of the department meetings, prepare teaching plans for each course to manage the delivery of the syllabus content, the schedule of laboratory work, submission of assignments, presentation of seminars etc. Finally the Department Coordinators monitor and ensure that the curriculum is implemented according to the plan.

Internal examinations, an essential component of the curriculum administration, are conducted in a centralized manner under the College Examination Committee. The grades of the internal examinations are published on the notice board of respective departments promptly. Any complaints related to the internal evaluation are addressed by the Grievance Redressal Forums at the department level and The Grievance Redressal Cell of the college.

High priority is accorded to students’ feedback. Problems in the delivery and administration of the syllabus as per the student feedback report are addressed.



Their feedback is taken online to make the teachers aware of their performance and pitfalls. The feedbacks are scored and analyzed by the software and is made available to the respective teachers online through college website. Thereafter, the teachers give a report to the principal on the corrective measures that will be taken in future.

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?

Procedural

Every year the college publishes an academic calendar to help teachers. A centralized timetable for content delivery and examinations are drawn and followed strictly so that the curriculum implementation is put in comfortable timeline. The College Council intervenes at appropriate points to support and facilitate curriculum transaction. The college also maintains a department log book (Quality Register) in which the events of the departments are recorded.

Practical

The college provides the physical facilities for effective classroom delivery. All the departments possess LCD projectors and connected technologies for classroom presentation. PG departments are provided smart room facilities. Whole campus is connected through Wi-Fi and each department has computers with broadband facilities. Young teachers are given special training in better teaching practices and in IT- enabled curriculum transaction. Books and other forms of study materials are purchased periodically for the faculty and students.

Furthermore, to facilitate the teaching-learning process the college has IT centre, Language Lab, Media hall, Computation lab and Computer labs. Uninterrupted power supply is ensured by establishing generators and invertors at various points.

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the

Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutory

The prospectus and the college calendar describe the curriculum in general. An in depth orientation to the programme is provided to the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students at the inception of their course itself. Faculty advisor helps the students choose courses in consonance with their potentials and needs.

Better exposure is provided to students by promoting invited lectures, seminars, and workshops which also enrich the curriculum delivery and implementation. Internet access is given to all the students and teachers via



campus connectivity run by the college. Smart rooms, Wi-Fi, Computer labs, Media hall, Language lab, Statistical computing lab etc. are utilized effectively to aid curriculum delivery. The atmospheric weather station provides valuable data to research scholars studying the climate changes.

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?

Constant interaction with industry effected by conducting industrial visits and doing projects in industries and other firms. Teachers are persuaded to get memberships in academic and research bodies in order to get in touch with the latest developments in their respective areas.

Networking with universities and research bodies of national and international repute is also forged by inviting eminent faculty of the universities and institutions and old students of the college working in such institutions to interact with students and teachers.

Also, representatives of the beneficiaries are given memberships in the prominent bodies of college such as Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), Internal Quality Circle etc.

members to the development of the curriculum by the University?

(number of staff members/ departments represented on the Board of

Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback

provided, specific suggestions etc.)



As an affiliated college, opportunities are limited for direct contributions to the formulation and development of curriculum. However, the college ensures that the vision and mission of the college are furthered through the faculty members who are on the Board of Studies. About one third of the faculty are members in different Boards of Studies and the college makes use of their presence to input the components that go in consonance with the objectives of the college.

The faculty of the institution, through these channels, often prepares syllabus for many of the courses of the University. Apart from that, some of them serve in the Academic Council, Faculties, Senate and Syndicate of the Kannur University. Members of the syndicate from the college are entrusted with the task of affiliations and examinations of the University. The college thus contributes elaborately to the design and the development of curriculum of the University.

At present Mr K.P. Mohammedali, Associate Professor in Chemistry is a member of Syndicate, Kannur University and Mr M.P. Narayanan, (former Head of Department of Physics) is the Dean of Faculty of Science of Kannur University.

The college is a centre for training the trainers under the 21 days residential Training Partner Scheme conducted in association with Additional Skill



Acquisition Programme (ASAP) of the State Government. After the successful completion of the training, the students are employed by the Higher and General Education Council of Kerala as Skill Development Executives.

In addition to these, the college ensures a good pick of courses in Open and Elective streams with a view to equip the students with employability and skills.

1.3.3 Enumerate the efforts made by the institution to integrate the cross

cutting issues such as gender, climate change, environmental education,

human rights, ICT etc. into the curriculum.

All round development of the students is one of the main objectives of the college. The ethical and moral standard of the campus is monitored by the Ethics committee and Discipline Committee. The residential character of the college helps in organizing a lot of hostel level programmes to sensitize the students on the need for a value based personal growth.

New programmes like BA Malayalam and MA Arabic are started considering employability. Certificate Courses in Computerized Accounting, Skills in Documental Translation & Secretarial Practice in Arabic and Easy English Programme provide further enrichment for employability.

The programmes conducted by SEEC and Entrepreneurship Development Club, NET Coaching Centre, Entry into Service Cell, Career Counseling and



Guidance Cell, and Remedial Coaching Centre further enrich the curriculum with added skills. They also offer better career options to students.

The avenues of National Service Scheme (NSS), National Cadet Corps (NCC), Bhoomithra Sena and Social Service Club provide ample opportunities for the students for social outreach. A holistic development of their personality is ensured through the programmes of these organisations.

1.3.5 Citing a few examples, enumerate on the extent of use of the

feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

Feedbacks are taken periodically and systematically from students, parents and alumni. They are meticulously analysed and actions taken wherever required. A great many of the decisions and action plan of the college are also based on the feedback from stakeholders.

The B.Sc programme in ‘Forestry & Wood Technology’ is changed to ‘BSc. Forestry’ based on the feedback from the stakeholders. Feedbacks clearly indicated that the students had difficulty pursuing higher education since ‘Wood Technology’ was also part of their syllabus. They were denied admission to B.Ed course as well. Hence the course was restructured to ‘BSc Forestry’ to accommodate the demands of the stakeholders.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its

enrichment programmes?

The college has developed a questionnaire tool to help monitor and evaluate the enrichment programmes. The tool is administered annually to all undergraduate students and it calculates the growth of students at various levels objectively. The success of the scheme is evaluated on the basis of the score received by each student. Apart from that, each programme has its own feedback tools administered at the end of the programme.

Entry into Service Coaching and NET Coaching Centre collect and keep the records of the progression of the enlisted students and the winners in the competitive examinations.

1.4 Feedback system

1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and

development of the curriculum prepared by the University?

The membership in various Board of Studies and the academic and administrative bodies of the University (mentioned in 1.1.6 of this report) helps the college in the design and development of curriculum.

1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and

stakeholders on curriculum? If yes, how is it communicated to the



University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment and

introducing changes/new programmes?

YES. The college maintains the practice of taking feedback on curriculum from students, parents and alumni. Feedback from the students is taken at the end of the semesters and when they go out of the college after the programme. Parents’ feedback is attained at the end of the academic year, mostly at the annual meetings of Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and department level meetings. The meeting of alumni is also a point of taking feedback about the curriculum. It is discussed at the department meetings and reported to the College Council. The findings of feedback are intimated to the University through the Board of Studies members.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the

institution during the last four years? What was the rationale

forintroducing new courses/programmes?

Seminars on Ambedkar and Ayyankali are conducted to spread the importance of inclusion. Outfits like National Service Scheme and National Cadets Corps also take a keen interest in addressing these issues. Programmes are also organized at departmental level.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

WWS (Walks With Scholar Programme): The advanced learners are identified from among the students admitted to each programme through baseline tests and through the interaction of tutors with students during the tutorial classes. Tutors adopt various methods for the purpose: viz. question-



answer sessions, problem solving sessions, home assignments, group discussions and seminars and these students are mentored through a special mentoring system called WWS (Walks With Scholar Programme) and they are given special orientations on the ways of upward mobility in their respective areas through higher studies and research.

Advanced learners in are given expert guidance lectures and video lectures from NPTEL, MIT open coursewares etc to harness their potential. These students are provided special coaching sessions for clearing IIT entrance tests and for equipping them to get admission in reputed institutions. Apart from that sessions for the development of their personality, communicative skills and soft skills are also conducted.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and

information on the academic performance (through the programme

duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the

disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners,

economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if

some sort of support is not provided)?

The college has a well established tutorial system which monitors the academic performance of the students regularly. Performance of students in unit tests, internal examinations, seminars and assignments are collected and scrutinized by the tutor. The students who lag academically, especially those belonging to the disadvantaged sections of society, are referred to Remedial Coaching Centre. There they are given additional coaching on topics by faculties suggested by the students. Whenever necessary the tutors convene a meeting of parents and the principal wherein the problems faced by the students are addressed.

Students who require financial assistance are referred to the Scholarship Committee. Whenever scholarships are not available they are accommodated by SAFE an initiative of the teaching staff to provide financial support to the students. Students facing psychological issues or having learning disabilities are assisted by the Counseling Centre of the college.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and

evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue

print, etc.)

The college prepares an academic calendar at the beginning of each academic year. This calendar, which also serves as a handbook of academic activities of the college, is distributed among the students and teachers.

The details and structure of curriculum is published in the calendar. Individual departments plan the semester wise teaching learning processes, including unit



tests, internal examinations etc on the basis of this calendar. Each teacher prepares a teaching plan for the allotted work load and the completion of each module is recorded in it.

The continuous evaluation through unit tests, seminars, assignments, projects and presentations provide points of close evaluation and directions for remedial instructions.

The marks obtained by the students are published in the department notice board. Grievances, if any, are redressed and the mark list sent to the Principal for information and uploaded to the University site.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching-learning

process?

Internal Quality Assurance Cell has been functioning in the college since 2005. An important objective of the cell is to improve the quality of teaching learning process through strict monitoring of the teaching learning process.

The Cell organizes training sessions to teachers to familiarize them with modern teaching and learning methods including ICT-enabled teaching and course management.

The cell has developed Internal Quality Records (IQR) to monitor the teaching learning process. It also leads the internal academic audit to evaluate the strengths and weakness of the teaching learning methods adopted. Apart from that, the Cell has initiated SEEC to supplement the enrichment programmes organized under various wings of the college.

2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the

support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like

interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning

among the students?

The introduction of Choice based Credit and Semester System (CCSS) by the University has made a remarkable shift in the learning process. The assignments, discussions, project preparation, seminars and peer teaching held as part of continuous evaluation are student-centric. The ICT based learning system and group discussions also promote interactive and independent learning skills. The introduction of inter-disciplinary subjects, elective and Open Courses has brought flexibility to the curriculum. Learning interdisciplinary subjects as Open Course and Elective Course has opened the doors to develop collaborative learning. Moreover, the college promotes learning through practice. The students are taken outside the classrooms to have direct experiences of the subject matter and many a time teachers as well as experts engage sessions from the sites. For instance Department of Forestry organises nature camp at Chimmony wild



life sanctuary, Peechi Vazhani Wild Life and Kottiyur reserve forest etc as a field exploration. Classes are engaged on the site by experts. They also conduct survey of water bird at Kattampalli wetland, Kannur. Students of the Department of Statistics are also involving in various social surveys. The Department of History undertook a journey ‘Through the Path of William Logan’ from Kavvai to Kappad. The journey conducted on the basis of William Logan’s historical work Malabar Manual, connected the ancient port towns of Northern Kerala. The journey inspired both the students and locals to know more about the historicity of these towns and ensued interactive and collaborative learning.

Short duration projects given to UG students of Arts and Science have made learning more meaningful and has propagated enquiry based learning amongst the students. Language Lab, Data Analysis Lab, Computational Chemistry Lab, medicinal plants demonstration garden etc ensures interactive learning and student-centric methods of teaching.

Some of the departments have their own websites which is used as a point of interactive learning to a limited extent. Campus wide Wi-Fi connectivity offers the predominant support for the process of interactive learning. Availability of facilities like Open Course Wares (OCW) of various sources, NPTEL, INFLIBNET, GCMS etc help the teachers to develop independent learning among students.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and

scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long

learners and innovators?

Critical Thinking and Reasoning and History and Philosophy of Science are mandatory courses in all under graduate programmes. Apart from that, the institution provides various platforms for the students to develop their creativity and scientific temper. OSTENDO, activities of clubs, debates and discussions organized by various departments, programmes of Students Union and college alumni etc focus on the inculcation of the culture of scientific inquiry, critical thinking and environmental issues in students.

2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the

faculty for effective teaching? Eg. Virtual Laboratories, e-learning-

resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning

(NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through information and

Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open educational resources,

mobile education etc.

Some of the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for effective teaching are:



• Data Analysis Lab • Computational Chemistry Lab • Media Hall • Language Lab • Computer and internet connections to all departments • campus wide Wi-Fi • smart class rooms, laptops and projectors • National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) • OCW from MIT and Stanford University. • CEC of the UGC • NLIST programme of INFLIBNET • Atmospheric Weather Station • Digital Talking Library

2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of

knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars,

workshops etc)?

The students and teachers regularly participate in seminars and workshop conducted in the college and in the other institutions in Kerala and other states. The faculties also undergo Refresher and Orientation Courses periodically to update themselves. All the departments encourage and direct the students to attend seminars, workshops, invited lectures etc. conducted by other institutions.

The annual presentation programme of the research scholars (ARORA) of the Research departments of Botany and Chemistry provide exposure to the PG students and faculties in advanced research.

The INFLIBNET makes 1,35000 e-books and 6000 plus e-journals (full text format) available to the faculty members, research scholars and students to keep themselves abreast of the latest developments. 2.3.7 Detail (process and number of students/ benefitted) on the academic,

personal and psycho-social support and guidance services (professional

counseling /mentoring/academic advice) provided to students?

The college has a large repertoire of system and mechanism that offer various kinds of support to the students. Some of them are: Tutorial Scheme: The students of each programme are divided into groups and placed under the personal care of a teacher designated as tutor. The tutor takes care of the general and individual problems of the students. They closely watch students’ behaviour and progress and maintain close contact with the parents.



The tutor keeps a diary containing the full details of the students under/him. The implementation of various student welfare schemes is also done effectively through the tutor of the tutorial scheme in the college.

Walks With Scholar Programme (WWS): It is a specialized mentoring programme initiated by the Department of Collegiate Education, Government of Kerala under the “New Initiatives in Higher Education”. This scheme aims at giving necessary orientation to needy students, to prepare them for employment and give them necessary guidance, motivation and necessary mental support to identify appropriate areas for higher study as well as employment.

For the purpose of mentoring, two categories of mentors are identified: ‘Internal Mentors’ and ‘External Mentors’. Internal Mentors are faculty from the college itself who are able to mentor and support the scholars and act as a guide in building their career. External mentors are reputed persons from outside the college from various professions like business, media, law, accounting, engineering etc. Their experience and expertise help the student to identify a better career option. Every year 30 students are selected from various programmes.

Scholar Support Programme (SSP): Scholar Support Programme (SSP) is a novel initiative launched by the college during 2015-16 for the first year undergraduate students under the auspices of the Department of Collegiate Education, Govt. of Kerala. SSP envisages the provision of additional and personalized assistance to academically weak students. Accordingly, fifty 50 students from five subjects are selected on the basis of analysis of their results. Such students are given tutorials, study material, question banks, etc. A minimum of fifteen classes are held for such students outside the regular hours of the college The plan is slated to be extended to the second and the third year of the degree programme in the subsequent years..

Career and Counseling Centre: The Centre offers programmes to motivate the students, to give awareness about higher studies, job opportunities and competitive examinations in addition to the training sessions to the undergraduate students.

Additional Skill Acquisition Programme (ASAP): The objective of ASAP is to tackle the issue of growing number of unemployable people in the state. The programme aims at equipping college students with skills in communication, IT and in selected areas of industry and service sectors. The classes under ASAP are engaged by Skill Development Executives before or after the normal working hours of the Institution. Equal Opportunity Centre: The Equal Opportunity Centre operates to create a socially congenial atmosphere for academic interaction and for the growth of healthy interpersonal relationships among the students coming from various



social backgrounds. It oversees the effective implementation of policies and programmes for students among the disadvantaged groups, such as SCs, STs, women, OBC (non-creamy layer), minorities and differently-abled. It provides guidance and counseling in academic, financial and social matters to students.

Other programmes: Other schemes provided for the betterment of students are remedial coaching programmes, coaching for the public service exams and NET coaching programme. The target groups of these schemes are the disadvantaged category such as SCs, STs OBC (non-creamy layer) and minorities. Conveyance and boarding allowances are provided to SCs/STs, availing the UGC support. The college hostel provides them free boarding and lodging availing the state government fund.

SAFE: It is a financial service instituted by the teachers of the college to support weak and needy students who do not get any assistance from government or other agencies. An average of Rs 20000 is given away every year to the students through a well framed selection mechanism.

LASS: The Women’s Cell, LASS, acts as a body that addresses the needs and problems of women students. The Cell provides counseling and empowerment related sessions. It also conducts programmes on gender issues.

Anti-Ragging Committee: The Anti-ragging committee, a Committee against Sexual Harassment on Women and Grievance Redressal Forums act in unison to check harassments and injustices that may come at various spaces and time on the campus. These Committees bring the college hostels also under their purview to ensure the safety and protection of the inmates.

2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted

by the faculty during the last four years. What are the efforts made by the

institution to encourage the faculty to adopt new and innovative

approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student

learning?

The faculties are assiduous in using new and novel methods for the transaction of the curriculum. The teaching learning practices for the major part are student-centred. Virtual experiments and audio visual sources are used for teaching learning. The traditional lecture method is substituted by participatory methods like seminar and field visits. Students are given assignments and projects through which an active participation of students is ensured.

All science departments regularly conduct study tours to experience knowledge from the source. Very often sessions are engaged on site. Services of experts are also utilized on such occasions.

Students of the Department of Forestry are taken to sites like Chimmony Wild Life sanctuary, Peechi Vazhani Wild Life, Kottiyur forest reserve etc. Field



exploration and interactions with the experts make the teaching learning process more effective. The annual water bird survey at Kattampalli wetland by the students provides them exposure to survey methodology and migratory birds.

To generate curiosity in students and to give them a firsthand experience on the historicity of the ancient port towns of the region the Department of-

History came up with the novel idea of undertaking a journey along the ports of north Kerala. The journey titled Through the Path of William Logan was in tune with descriptions in William Logan’s Malabar Manual. Classes like this provide students opportunities for collaborative learning and field work.

ICT facilities of the college are exploited by both teachers and students to make teaching learning more effective and interesting. Open sources for learning, online lectures, NPTEL resources, CEC contents etc are utilized extensively. Great stress is laid on conducting workshops, seminars and training programmes familiarize the students as well as teachers with the new frontiers of knowledge.

IQAC conducts mega exhibition titled OSTENDO every two years. It is a huge platform for students to use the knowledge they have acquired on an application level. IQAC has conducted two editions (OSTENDO 2012 and OSTENDO 2014) so far. The practical knowledge the students have gained by way of these exhibitions is immense.

Teachers are motivated through workshops and seminars conducted by IQAC. A workshop on Prospects of ICT in Higher Education of Kerala with assistance from Kerala State Higher Education Council and another one on ICT Enabled Teaching were conducted for teachers. A class on office procedures and basic computer technology was organized for the non teaching staff.

2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning

process?

The fully computerized college library has more than 40,000 books, 110 journals and other resource materials. Newer editions and titles are added regularly to the stock as recommended by the Library Advisory Committee. NLIST of INFLIBNET are available in the library. The library complex has facilities like internet, Xerox, reprography, reading room, DTP and separate space for research scholars and a Digital Talking Library for the visually challenged.

During exhibition, OSTENDO the library organized book exhibitions of prominent academic publishers to whom orders are placed on the recommendations of students and teachers. The library has also set up a career



section aiming to help the students attending competitive examinations including civil services examinations.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the

curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If yes, elaborate

on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to

overcome these.

YES. The challenge in completing the curriculum in the stipulated time frame is mainly due to prolonged admission schedule and delay in the admission procedure at the University level. Formal classes for the first semester begin only towards the second half of July. Hence the first semester students lose a significant number of working days.

Another issue is the long duration of valuation camps in certain subjects. Faculty members on valuation duty find it difficult to engage classes resulting in lesser number of class room transactions.The short term strategy to overcome these problems is to arrange special classes on holidays to make up the loss of contact hours.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching-learning?

The monitoring and evaluation of teaching learning process is held both at department and college level. Each department meets periodically to evaluate the progress of teaching learning process. These meetings also discuss the limitations and pitfalls, if any, and suggest corrective actions.

Every department has a coordinator to look after the quality side. A result analysis is conducted after each examination and discussed in the department meetings. At the college level, the Academic Council and IQAC co-ordinate, monitor and evaluate the teaching learning process.

IQAC conducts internal audit and as part of that has introduced Internal Quality Record (IQRs) for the teaching departments. This provides a mechanism for day to day evaluation of teaching learning process

2.4 Teacher Quality

2012 2014 2014

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the

students and external peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for

improving the quality of the teaching-learning process?

YES. The institution does provide opportunity for teacher evaluation by students. Individual teachers are evaluated course wise through online using specialized software. The scoring sheet reveals the strength and weakness of teaching in general and the grade the students have given is derived by simple statistical method. The teachers go through the evaluative points and give a report on corrective measures to the Principal.



2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the

institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation

processes?

The college publishes a college calendar annually in which the evaluation procedures are described. These particulars are available on the college website also. A detailed picture of the same is given to the students in the first general orientation programme and the department level orientation programme. Moreover, the tutors too give individualized instructions on the evaluative process of each programme.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the University that the

institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the

institution on its own?

The University initiated the Choice Based Credit and Semester system for UG programmes in 2009 and Credit Semester System for PG programmes in 2014. With this change the evaluation system underwent thorough change. The continuous internal evaluation along with the external examinations on a 20%-80% format was introduced. The system of direct grading was introduced for both internal and external evaluation.

As an affiliated college, the institution possesses negligible role in reforming the evaluative system. However, the written examinations of internal assessment are organized centrally by the college and the departments formulate timeframes and modes of continuous evaluation.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the

evaluation reforms of the University and those initiated by the institution

on its own?

An academic calendar is prepared at the beginning of every academic year in which of the dates of internal examinations and publication of results are scheduled. Internal examinations are centrally organized and the seating arrangements laid out in asymmetric matrix pattern to make the system more effective.

The department prepares in advance the schedule for assignment submission, seminar presentations with topics of each student in programme. A special package for easy evaluation of the internal grade is distributed among the teachers to help them prepare the consolidated internal grade.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment

approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples

which have positively impacted the system.



The formative evaluation comprises of the class tests, unit tests, assignments, book reviews, small projects, model examinations. These evaluations structurally lead to remedial teaching to help the students to perform at the summative evaluation.

Internal examinations, assignments and seminars lead to both formative and summative evaluations as the grades obtained in them decide their internal marks and at the same time it leads to focused and individualized remedial teaching that help them to perform well in external examinations.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and

weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage

for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)

The structure of internal assessment (IA) is laid down by the University. The college possesses little authority to intervene in this structure.

To ensure the transparency of the IA the college follows a set of practices. The dates of submission of assignments and the presentation of seminars and such works involved in the process are declared in advance at the beginning of the semester and the dates are strictly followed.

The grades earned for each activity are published on the notice board for providing the students the opportunity to place grievances, if any. The Grievance Redressal Forums in the departments looks into the grievances and adjudicate the cases in a way is convincing to the students.

The University system does not allow direct scores for behavioural aspects, independent learning and communication skill. But these are inferred while evaluating assignments and seminars of each student in the programme.

2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliating

University? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the

students?

The institution stands for the upliftment of socially, educationally and economically backward sections of the North Malabar region. The institution considers it its responsibility to produce a socially committed youth. The institution seeks to give equal importance to conventional and advanced courses so as to cater to both educationally disadvantaged and privileged learners. The UG and PG programmes offered are in tune with the demands of the day and the scope of employability. In spite of the rural background and the backwardness in the quality of the intake, the institution tries its maximum to inculcate capacity and confidence among the students. In this effort, attempt is made to improve qualities like communication skills, ability for planning, organizing and implementing



programmes in students so as to make them self-reliant. The activities of various social and cultural forums such as National Service Scheme, Social Service Wing, Bhoomithra Sena Club, Entrepreneurship Development Club, Film Club etc provide a social reorientation to help develop an awareness of their social responsibilities. Apart from these, training programmes such as ASAP, WWS are also intended to equip the students with special skills like communication skills, IT skills, etc. 2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference

to evaluation both at the college and University level?

The mechanism for grievance redressal in the college is built around two platforms: The Grievance Redressal Forums at the department level and Grievance Redressal Cell at the college level.

Grievance Redressal Forums are constituted at all departments with the Heads of the respective departments as chairman and three members of the faculty as members. The grievances placed in front of the Forum are discussed and the issues that are fully under the control and authority of the department are disposed in the forums and those beyond its authority and important at college levels are referred to the Grievance Redressal Cell.

2.6 Student performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If yes, give

details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

YES. As the college plays a significant role in the curriculum formulation of the University, the stated learning outcomes of the college often find a place in the University curriculum. The learning outcomes set by the college are displayed in the departments and are communicated to the UG students at their first meeting after their admission to the college and UG students in their orientation classes.

2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the

progress and performance of students through the duration of the

course/programme? Provide an analysis of the students

result/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and

explain the differences if any, and patterns of achievement across the

programmes/courses offered.

The teaching departments convene periodic meetings to analyze the results of students in unit tests and internal examinations. The students’ attendance analysis is also conducted in these meetings.The marks/grades earned by the students are communicated to the parents during PTA meetings. Proceedings of the PTA meetings are reported to the College Council.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring:

• The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated

mission

Policy statements are formulated by the college management, principal and faculty together. The action plan for the decade (2010-20), VISION 2020 was formulated with the participation of the entire faculty, the principal, management and student representatives. The SWOT analysis in this regard originated from faculty during department meetings and was forwarded to the College Council and the management.



• Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of

the same into the institutional strategic plan

The institutional strategic plan was carefully prepared in consultation with the stakeholders as well as by referring to the suggestions provided by NAAC peer team report for the second cycle. Suggestions and recommendations are used to review and revise the action plan periodically. Leadership considers the modifications in action plan and incorporates these into the strategic plan . IQAC and departmental committees initiate the necessary implimentation plan for every academic year

• Interaction with stakeholders

A number of opportunities are available for the leadership to interact with the stake holders and vice versa. The Principal and the faculty leadership interact with the student leaders at the beginning of every academic year and on the eve of the election to the Students’ Union. Special meetings are convened in the event of any crisis or situation.

The orientation class held at the beginning of the first semester classes also provide opportunity for the leaders to interact with the students and parents and to build a rapport with them.

Other platforms for the interaction are the general body meetings of the Parent Teachers Association, class PTA meetings and the Staff Association which convene meetings periodically.

General Alumni meetings are organized once in every three years but department alumni meetings are promoted every year by the institution. These meetings provide ample opportunities for interaction between the authorities and the alumni.

Seminars/workshops/training programmes etc organized by the college invite the Vice Chancellors, governing body members, educationists and public leaders as guests and resource persons and offer another platform for interactions with leadership of higher order in the field.

The social outreach programmes initiated by the college provide opportunity for the college authorities to create ties with the public and thereby strengthen the social commitment of the institution

• Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis,

research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders

The leadership understands the importance of dynamic policy and planning and hence a periodic need analysis is carried out with the help of key



administrative (Principal and Office administrative superintendent) and academic (Heads of Departments and senior faculty members) personnel. Interaction with the various stakeholders like Government, Directors of Higher Education, University, UGC, DST and other Higher Education bodies provide valuable inputs for future policies and planning. The changing global scenario and local needs are understood by consulting the stakeholders. The policies and plans are framed based both on the past experience and after assessing future needs. The management provides all the necessary support (administrative, financial and logistic) for any new plans designed for the benefit of the stakeholders.

• Reinforcing the culture of excellence

The top level management strives to improve the physical facilities of the college with addition of buildings, procuring IT enabled teaching-learning facilities, and increasing the number of courses and facilities. The faculty level leadership endeavours to formulate proposals for assistance from UGC and other agencies and organizes programmes and researches to augment the level of excellence of the college. At research level the Research Advisory Council streamlines research potentials of the college. The Research forum strives to maintain research culture alive on the campus.

• Champion organizational change

The leadership plays a critical role in formulation and implementation of policy/ action plan as per the current trends and requirements.

The principal through IQAC takes into consideration the formal or informal suggestions from the stakeholders while formulating policies and action plans. The action plan after finalization is communicated to the stakeholders for implementation. A conscious effort by the leadership and the positive attitude of the stakeholders generates a forward momentum needed to bring about change and maintain the brand reputation of the college.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and

evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective implementation

and improvement from time to time?

With the advent of globalization and impact of ICT, the institute has identified the need to change the method of monitoring and evaluating policies and plans. The general procedure adopted by the institute for effective implementation and improvement of policies and plans is described below.

Teachers can also work on various academic bodies in the University or government/non government organizations.

The Heads of Departments are given freedom to administer their respective departments, plan and execute academic programs. Class-wise in-charges and Post Graduate Programme Coordinators are appointed to facilitate smooth conduct of academic activities throughout the year and monitor the overall progress of the students.

There are “Departmental Committees” to take all the necessary steps for successful implementation of the academic plan and provide the feedback to the College Council. The faculty members are allowed to participate in and contribute to the deliberations.

Moreover, the authority is keen to see that the faculty is sufficiently trained and maximum possible number of teachers is sent for Orientation and Refresher Courses and for Research under Faculty Development Programme.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

The college grooms leadership at three main levels: faculty level, students and administrative and support (non-teaching) staff level.

The procedure adopted for creating leaders at different levels is described below.

All teachers take various curricular, extracurricular and administrative responsibilities in rotation. Periodic capacity building as well as faculty development programs also helps them to sharpen their management skills.

For administrative and support staff, training workshops for effective use of ICT and Campus Management Software and overall developmental skills are arranged through professionals. In certain case they are also sent outside for training.

The leadership in students is groomed through the College Students Union which is formed every academic year. Students elect two University Union Councilors to represent the students in the University Students Union.

Widespread appreciation and remarkable participation in community enrichment programmes conducted at department level was the motivation behind OSTENDO. Moreover the institution accepts that constant interaction with the society is indispensable and crucial for its growth.

One of the best ways to communicate with society is through organizing exhibitions. It is with this vision that ‘OSTENDO’, a biannual cultural and educational exhibition, was conceived.



Objectives:

• To cultivate various skills and talents in students and exhibit the educational and research resources to the common people.

• To promote scientific temper, research aptitude and organisational skills in students.

• To enhance the collaboration with reputed research institutes, industries, banks and nearby educational institutes.

• To facilitate community empowerment through a convergence and involvement of the society with the College.

Practices:

The college conducts the exhibition biannually in the month of January/February. Students in the various committees organize and co-ordinate the activities under the directions of the staff member. The student groups design and arrange the exhibition with the support of group convenor. This enhances their leadership skills and organizing talents. External institutes and NGO are also invited to display their stalls. Medical College, Kannur, Ayurvedha medical college, KELTRON, KFRI, ISRO, KVK, Folklore academy, etc are a few among them. The stalls are provided free of cost.

The college does not aim to generate revenue from the event. So the entry is free for the students and general public. College management, PTA and alumni are the major financial supporters. The remaining amount is mobilised through lucky dips and advertisements. This assures maximum participation from the public and exhibitors. The college level resources and research outputs are exhibited. In order to promote scientific temper and aptitude among school students, a competition on working and still model of science project is conducted.

Various cultural activities are organised in the evening by the students of the college. Martial arts of Kerala, Kalari payattu, Classical dances and Ottan thullal are staged on the occasion. Musical events are also conducted by the students. This offers a platform for students to perform in front of public. The evaluation of the exhibitions is done by visitors as well as IQAC committee and outstanding performing group is awarded.

Evidence of Success:

The active participation of students from outside institutions makes the programme a success. Almost all the secondary and higher secondary schools in and around Taliparamba and most of the colleges in Kannur district visited the exhibition. For the convenience of the local people, one day was set aside for them.

Each department had a novel approach on exhibiting. Department of Mathematics and Statistics prepared numerical skill games which attracted the



middle school students. Biological science departments, Botany, Zoology and Forestry arranged stalls on biological curiosities. The major displays included various research instruments, specimens, traditional agricultural tools, crop varieties including traditional paddy varieties, vermicompost, organic farming, etc.

The external participants, like KFRI Peechi, Ayurveda Medical College Kannur, Pepper Breeding Centre Panniyoor, Krishi Vigyan Kendra were also associated with the exhibition. Demonstration on vegetable and fruit carving and Bonsai invited attention of public to a great extent. Snake exhibition added extravagance to the event. The students described the exhibits to the guests with overwhelming enthusiasm.

‘Chemblast’, demonstration of a number of colourful experiments by the Department of Chemistry attracted and aroused the curiosity of a large number of school students. The department also showcased various apparatus and instruments used in the chemical analysis and for research. Chemistry students also demonstrated experiments for identifying food adulteration and method for making soap etc.

Department of Physics demonstrated various experiments on the physical phenomenon of the universe including robotics with the help of Vimal jyothi Engineering College, Sreekandapuram. Department of History showcased many archeological samples and the history museum of the department. Department of Economics demonstrated many models indicating economic developments of world and India in different periods of time and Language Departments showcased many folklore models and charts indicating the developments of language and culture.

Medieval Science and Arabic Language was the theme of the exhibition by PG Dept. of Arabic. The exhibits propagated the great heritage of Arabic language and its traditions and explained the importance of Arabic Language in the contemporary world to the public.

Impressed by the exhibition held on 14, 15 &16th January 2015, many public figures and eminent persons contacted the college seeking permission to show the artifacts and other materials in their localities. The college has arranged the show in various places on their demand. They are:

• OSTENDO 2015 Sir Syed College : 14,15&16 January 2015

• Noorul Huda Madrasa, Onapparamba : 25 January 2015

• MM UP School, Kuppam : 19/12/2015

• Rifaiyya Madrasa, Mattool South : 20, 21, 22 Dec.2015

• Sir Syed Institute of Technical Studies, Taliparamba:11/03/2016



The exhibition was an immense opportunity for the students to improve their knowledge, skills in presentation, power of expression and inculcating in them the leadership quality.

More than seven thousand people have viewed these artifacts at different venues so far. About a thousand have registered their comments and suggestions in the Visitor’s Diary.

Problems encountered:

The following problems were encountered while conducting OSTENDO.

• The hectic academic schedule of students and teachers. The new Choice Based Credit and Semester System allows little time for co curricular and extracurricular activities

• The inconvenience in housing pavilions of other institutions in large number in addition to pavilions of various departments of the college.

• A large number of visitors including women to watch the events throughout. Existing college level facilities are inadequate.

• Conducting exhibition free of cost causes financial shrinkage. Mobilizing necessary fund is a challenge.

BEST PRACTICES - 2

Title: PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF SELECTED

SACREDGROVES IN KANNUR DSTRICT

Goal:

The objective of the programme is to provide awareness to the students and the local community about the need to protect environment and ecosystems.

Context:

Sacred groves are patches of natural vegetation in the man-modified landscapes. These are the home of local flora, fauna, gene pool and a mini biosphere reserve. Within this groves are locked ancient secrets of herbs and traditional medicine and protected by human societies believing that preserving such a patch of vegetation in a relatively undisturbed state is necessary for expressing one’s relation to the divine or to the nature.

Three sacred groves namely- Iriverikavu, Kayyath nagam and Thazhekavu of Kannur district were selected for conservation. All these sacred groves faced various threats due to anthropogenic intervention. This project aims to protect and conserve these sacred groves after studying their biodiversity with the active involvement of teachers, nature club members, local people, temple committees and NGOs like OISCA international.



The preliminary survey showed habitat degradation and biodiversity loss due to encroachment and waste dumping at Iriverikavu, Kayyath nagam sacred groves. Thazhekavu is located on an island, surrounded by saline water. The tidal water brings waste materials including non-biodegradable materials and plastics which are harmful to the mangroves.

Practice:

The practice was completed through the following steps:

• Preliminary survey of the proposed sites with experts from SS College, OISCA and SMPB etc. to identify the threats.

• Awareness programme on each sacred grove with the involvement of local people, Kudumbasree units, temple committees, students, various club members etc.

• Signing of MoU with the temple authorities in presence of college principal, OISCA south Indian chapter members, nature club members and coordinator.

• Discussion with experts, traditional vydyans and local people about the selection and documentation of plants for bio-fencing the grove.

• Collection of medicinal plants from various parts of Kannur District.

• Planting with the support of students and local people.

• A national seminar organized at Sir Syed College on Sacred Grove Conservation.

• Honoring of stakeholders who actively participated in bio-fencing.

• Displaying of name boards indicating a short description of the project.

• Naming of the locally available plants in each grove indicating their scientific name, local name and medicinal uses.

Evidence of success:

The practice of sacred grove conservation was really an eye opening process to the community. It created a positive attitude towards biodiversity conservation. It helped them realize the role of religion and beliefs in biodiversity conservation.

The student participation was beyond expectation. They exploited the chance to interact with the community and study the myths and traditional knowledge. This practice gave the institution an opportunity to share its resources and knowledge with the community and vice versa. The amalgamation of



conventional and scientific knowledge led to the emergence of new strategies for conservation.

Once the initiative was taken by the college the villagers also started getting involved in planting, watering and protecting the diversity for the future. They started paying attention to encroachers and illicit waste disposal. The attempt was supported with the active participation and contribution from forest department, local governing bodies and Kudumbasree units. This two years project is now complete but the safeguarding of these sacred groves is continued by neighborhood society and Bhoomitrasena of the college monitors their persistence.

Problems encountered:

We came across various hurdles during the implementation of the project. The major among them were:

• The resistance from believers on entering the sacred groves. Even though, the groves was encroached by the local people and premises were used for waste disposal, it was tough to convince them on the importance of conservation.

• Lack of human resources for continuous evaluation and caring of sacred grove.

Though the students were enthusiastic about the project and ready to spend their holidays for it continuous maintenance was possible only with the participation of local bodies. The involvement of the stakeholders at Kayyam was very sparse during the planting activities

• The seasonal tidal changes created problems in the activities at Thazhekavu.

• Transportion of saplings from Kannavam forest nursery to the sites. • The major constrains to sustain the practice are unavailability of

human resources and limited financial support.

Strength Weakness Opportunities Threats A specialized course Lack of

laboratory equipments

The course outline of UG programme are restructured based on the syllabus of Indian Forest Service Examination

No scope for doing MSc forestry in Kerala

The only institute in the state offering B.Sc. Forestry

This is strictly a field based course. Lack of facilities and fund for field

The students completed the course can undergo diverse kinds of PG courses including

Since it is a 3 year programme, there is a clash with the 4 year B.Sc. (honors) Forestry



visits of the students

environmental science, wood science, wildlife science, ecology etc.

students for higher education as well was job opportunities.

All the sanctioned teaching posts are filled with qualified permanent teachers

Lack of awareness among the public regarding the importance and scope of forestry education and research

Better chance of getting job in agriculture and allied sectors, forest department, plantations, forest and wood based industries etc.

Three year degree programme is not valid for writing MSc Forestry entrance conducted by ICAR. Need to attend a remedial course, even if the students are selected for MSc forestry, offered by other autonomous universities

The location of the college is apt for the course because of the less distance and accessibility to forests, mangroves, protected areas, wetlands, sacred groves, laterite hills, coastal areas, wood based industries etc.

Better field exposure to students compared to other natural science courses

No reservation in PSC jobs like KFDC, Forest Ranger etc compared to BSc Hon. Forestry (4 year course)

Future Plans

• To start PG programme in Forestry (M.Sc. Forestry) • To setup soil testing and wood testing laboratories for academic and

consultancy purposes • Establishment of a forest nursery with the aim of training students to

raise forest tree seedlings as well as to supply superior planting stock to the public.

• To establish a butterfly garden in the college campus • To establish a Non Timber Forest Products Museum in the department

Strength Weakness Opportunities Threats Faculty with Media Industry Experience

The department don’t have a Degree/ PG Course

Can establish as a reputed Journalism Department in the University level, if Main courses are given

The department don’t have proper students strength, as we don’t have main Degree courses to offer

Future Plans

i) Installation of a Radio Studio and launching of campus radio ii) Monthly News Bulletin for the College iii) Publication of-Inland Magazine iv) Book Publication-Inter-disciplinary v) Village Media Fest: Annul event vi) Media Hub vii) Campus Press Club viii) Media Museum ix) Media Surveys x) Media-Industry collaboration programems like interships for

1 In order to get maximum exposure to the mother tongue several programmes are conducted under the auspicious Malayalam Dept.

No sufficient permanent faculty.

Bright prospect for expansion as Malayalam is promoted from regional language to an official language

Drop out Of girls students

2 In connection with the celebration of Malayalam language as ‘Sreshtabasha’, our students got enough opportunity to interact with famous novelists, poets, short story writers and social reformers. When they shared their experiences, the students realized the sacrifice and commitment behind novel creations.

No separate library

Majority of our students are coming from English medium schools, or schools giving importance to English language. Such institutions give least preference to regional language. The net result is that when they take regional language as the main subject their performance will be much below the expected level which in turn may affect their academics.

3 The programme ‘Kadhaykoppam Kadhakaranoppam’ helped a lot to improve and nurture the creative writing skill among our students.

No separate smart class room and language lab for Malayalam Dept.

Future Plan:

• To start MA Malayalam programme • To establish Malayalm Language lab

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES

If the college has already undergone the accreditation process by NAAC,

please highlight the significant quality sustenance and enhancement

measures undertaken during the last four years. The narrative may not

exceed five pages.

The second cycle of accreditation by the NAAC peer team was carried out in February 2011 and the college was accorded B grade (2.8 points). The process of reaccreditation paved the way for an all round development of the institution. It helped in realigning the teaching learning process, strengthening the laboratory infrastructure, inculcating the research culture and enhancing social outreach. The peer team recommended 11 different areas where the college needed to focus for the overall quality enhancement of the institution. The college has complied with all those suggestions and has undertaken many quality sustenance and enrichment programmes in the past five years.

Recommendations of Peer Team

1. College may plan compulsory full-fledged course in communication skills

2. Complete automation in office systems and procedures. 3. ICT integration in teaching learning process. 4. More number of computers, campus networking and higher band

width of internet facilities with Wi-Fi covering whole campus. 5. Vocational Certificate/Diploma Course in areas of Retailing,

Hospitality Management, Logistic Management, Event Management, Capital Market Operation, Types Of Service Marketing, Professional accounting using TALLY, Type Setting And Printing Business, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry.

6. Intensify industry institute linkage cell for training and development. 7. Strengthen IQAC for academic audit. 8. Teachers encouraged in research and multidisciplinary approach. 9. Institutionalization of alumni association. 10. Improving the facility for more use of INFLIBNET and inter

University Accelerator Centers. 11. Prepare a vision document for next decade with executable action plan.

During the post accreditation period high priority was given to implement the recommendations of the peer team. As a first step detailed SWOT analysis of the institution was conducted from the feedback of staff members, alumni and selected students. A vision document for the next decade was prepared and



priority items were identified incorporating the suggestions made by the NAAC peer team.

The peer team had suggested introducing compulsory course in Communicative English. In the academic year 2012 – 13 compulsory Spoken English Course was offered to all the I and II year degree students, from 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. Classes were handled by external experts from CIGI. The project was a great success. In the succeeding years the scheme was implemented by their respective departments. Selected teachers (tutors) attended training programme conducted by the Department of English. A peer group was constituted in each department with students having proficiency in communicative English. Classes were conducted on all Wednesdays under the supervision of tutors based on the drafted syllabus. At present the Department of English is offering a Certificate Course in communicative English. Students undergoing ASAP training programme and WWS programme receive special training in communicative skills.

The college office is fully automated. Salary distribution, fee collection, issue of certificates, examination registration, student’s attendance and teacher’s evaluation by the students are digitalized. The number of computers has been increased to 120. The present computer – student ratio is 1: 12 and measures are underway to make it 1 : 10 in the next academic year.

To strengthen virtual learning, smart boards are installed in seven class room. Software like Python, Mat lab etc. are widely used. All the PG classes and final UG classes are provided with LCD projectors to enable ICT learning.

To boost the ICT facilities the campus has been modernized with Wi-Fi connectivity. Faculty members and PG students can access internet at all times and UG students at selected times. High speed internet connections in the library and IT centers are used for downloading research papers and text books. The communication between the administrators and faculty members are made through the TCS (Total Campus Solution) software. Students can access the TCS site at allotted times and verify their attendance and internal evaluation reports.

Being a Govt. aided college we have limitations in starting new courses. Neverthless two new courses, B.A. in Malayalam and M.A. in Arabic, were started in 2013. We are proud to announce that one student in the first M.A. Arabic batch cleared NET. We are fully equipped to start M.Sc. in Statistics and Zoology and B.A. in Journalism if permitted by the Government.

Eight departments offer Certificate Courses in specialized areas like Computational Physics, Computerised Accounting, Tally, Essential Skill In

Translations & Documentation in Arabic, Organic Farming Technology.

To strengthen the research activities in the institution, a new four storied



building is being constructed. The botanical garden has been restructured and a separate medicinal plant wing established. The gymnasium is renovated and expanded to a capacity of 40 people at a time.

College alumni have separate branches in Gulf countries and Bangalore which function in tune with the local alumni. They support financially weak students by providing scholarships. The Gulf chapter of alumni organized a mass marriage function in which 11 couple from poor financial background got married. All the expenses were met by the alumni and was the first if this kind in our domain. Alumni help the college management to mobilize funds for infrastructure development and organizing student oriented programmes. The old students associated with reputed institutions deliver invited talks and orientation programmes at regular intervals. The local alumni organize a get together annually in which all the retired teachers are invited. They have organized a get together of the College Union office bearers, in which the last 46 years of union leaders participated. A college magazine exhibition was also arranged. Separate alumni wings of police officers, media persons, doctors and government employees are also functioning effectively.

College has ENLIST facility of INFLIBNET. Students and teachers download journals and research papers free of cost. The college has a linkage with the the University of Calicut and the faculty access their INFLIBNET facilities.

To strengthen academic audit IQAC has taken measures to institute quality bench mark in all the curricular and co curricular activities. The students are grouped into brilliant/good/average/below average and special training is given to different groups. The developments are monitored and analyzed periodically and the improvements are communicated to the parents. The annual results are statistically analyzed by a group of teachers and a bulletin is published.

Teachers are motivated to undertake research activities and publish papers in reputed journals. During the last 5 years more than 150 papers were published in reputed journals and many papers were presented at the national and international seminars. The college has a research publication Sir Syed Journal of Functional Research in which research students and teachers publish their research works. Dr. K.M. Khaleel, and Dr. A.P.Kuttykrishnan presented papers at the International conference in Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in Jakartha (November 14-18 , 2011) and International Conference on Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis (ASMDA-2013) held at Barcelona, Spain, (25th June to 1st July 2013) respectively.

Dr. V. Abdul Jaleel received best paper presentation awards in the international seminar during the Asian Plant Science Conference on the topic Taxonomy and Conservational Importance of the Rare and Endemic Species

of Amorphophallus and Lasia in India held on 1-3 Nov. 2014 at Nepal and Dr.Tajo Abraham and Dr. Sreeja received best paper presentation awards in



national seminars conducted at St Joseph college, Irinnhalakkuda and St Therasa’s College, Eranakulam respectively. Dr Gayathri R Nambiar received best oral paper presentation award in the national symposium at Pondichery University Convention cum Cultural centre, Puthucherry in 2012. Dr. Biju A.R completed his post doctoral work at the University of Florida, USA with the financial support of UGC. We had made it mandatory that each department should have at least one project supported by UGC/DST/other funding agencies.

To intensify industry-institute linkage a committee has been constituted with Dr. Tajo Abraham as the convener. Janab. Mayan Mahamood, Managing Director of Western India Plywood is a member IQAC. The Department of Forestry and Department of Chemistry have collaborations with the WIP. The Department of Physics has established a link with the Malabar Cancer Research Center, Tellicherry.
