PREFACE

Sundarban Hazi Desarat College was founded on 14th

August, 1961, in Pathankhali village of

Gosaba block, a small riverine island of Sundarbans delta, with the main occupation of the

people being fishing and collecting honey and wax. The people had to battle everyday with

innumerable odds - abject poverty and hunger; natural adversities like frequent cyclones and

periodical inundation of the area with saline water of rivers and creeks; dangers from crocodiles

and snakes; deplorable infrastructure plagued by lack of transportation system, drinking water

and health facilities; lack of education that led to superstitions and made their life even worse. In

this situation, the task of the college was extremely difficult and challenging – first, to convince

the people that only education was a panacea to their wretched life, and secondly, to provide

them facilities so that they can overcome their geographical and financial hurdles to attend the

college.

Initially, the college started with a few general degree courses in the subjects of Humanities,

extending its academic service to further include Commerce in 1973 and science subjects in

1980. In 1996, Honours courses were introduced in Bengali, History and Accountancy. Presently

the college has 17 subjects, with Honours in 5 subjects. The college has been able to

academically empower some of its students, who are now at the helm of the society. The college

proudly celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2011. The long journey has been interspersed with

various hurdles – geographical, infrastructural, and financial. Nonetheless, the college has been

in consistent pursuance of upgradation and improvement.

With the view to make at least one graduate in every household in the backward locality, the

college strives not only to attain academic excellence, but also to ensure a holistic development

of students, that may empower them by enhancing their capability. In the quest for advancement,

the college abides by the suggestions of the affiliating University and audit reports. We believe

that assessment and accreditation by NAAC will be an effective instrument in identifying our

strengths and weaknesses and guide us towards development.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CURRICULAR ASPECTS

Strengths:

The college provides autonomy to the respective departments for effective

implementation of curriculum.

The teachers design academic calendar and web based month-wise teaching plans and

maintain records of their teaching progress.

Regular assessment and interaction with parents are held regarding students‘

performance.

Class lectures are supplemented with audio-visual teaching methods, seminars and study

tours.

The college offers Undergraduate Courses in 5 Honours subjects and 17 General subjects

under all the Humanities, Commerce and Science streams.

The college tries to ensure academic flexibility by offering a wide range of subject

combinations: 40 for B.A. General, 9 for B.Sc. General and 12 for B.A. Honours

alongwith B.Com. Honours and General.

The college conducts :

UGC Sponsored Remedial course for SC/ST/OBC

UGC Sponsored Entry in Service coaching for competitive examinations for

backward classes

UGC Sponsored Career Counseling Course

The college offers subsidized skill development courses on: Communicative English and

Basic Computer.

Weakness:

Insufficient demand for some subjects coupled with excessive demand for a few other

ones due to lack of knowledge of the first generation learners and improper guidance

provided by seniors and relatives deter the college in introducing more flexibility in

curriculum.

Opportunities:

The UGC assistance for vocational courses provides new vista for the college curriculum.

As a result the college may introduce new location-specific courses.


Page | 4

Constraints:

The UGC provides financial assistance only for five years and expects to be continued on

self-financing. The college faces difficulty in running any programme on self-financing

due to the financial backwardness of the students. Travel & Tourism Management and

Forestry & Wild-Life Management could not be continued due to lack of demand.

Future Plan:

The IQAC plans to introduce such viable course(s) which can be taught by the existing

faculty and can be carried out at minimum affordable cost.

TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION

Strengths:

The college has been experiencing steadily rising admission. The enrolment in 2015 has

increased by about 62% over the last five years.

The college ensures absolute transparency in admission and evaluation. Online admission

system has been introduced from the session 2015-16.

The departments conduct continuous internal assessments for in-depth and thorough

preparation of students.

The college emphasizes maximum possible use of ICT based teaching-learning despite

geographic and other constraints.

The college has introduced innovative mechanisms like software based Students‘ Profile

Mapping to determine the diversified capabilities and needs of the students.

Keeping in view the first generation learners and back-learners, the college provides

facilities for teaching assistance beyond class hours since many of the teachers stay back

at night in the college campus.

The college conducts 3600 Teachers‘ Evaluation process to evaluate teaching-learning

performance.

Weakness:

The teaching staff is inadequate due to retirements coupled with delays by the

Government in appointments in vacant posts and sanctioning new posts.

The college faces infrastructural constraints like communication, power, drinking water,

etc. due to geographical location of the college.

Financial backwardness of most of the students compels them to be engaged in economic

activities for supporting their families, thus hindering their class attendance.


Page | 5

Opportunities:

The young and enthusiastic teachers who have joined the college recently are inclined

towards using technology and modern devices/methods.

Recently, the college has managed to procure a high speed leased line internet connection

and ICT based technologies, modernize its library with e-resources and develop its own

innovative web based teaching aid software and feedback mechanism in order to create

opportunities for development in its teaching learning process.

Constraints:

Inadequate faculty in substantive posts.

Power problems with low voltage and frequent power cuts in the area.

Delay in maintenance service due to remoteness of the college and non-availability of

local experts.

Future Plan:

The IQAC is planning to introduce a comprehensive repository for students‘ access to

Question Bank, study materials and important class notes and video clips of important

class lectures, not only of the college but also those available from other institutions.

RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

Strengths:

The college provides facilities like access to computers, internet, INFLIBNET, books,

journals etc. for faculty to pursue their research.

Teachers are in continuous pursuit of research, with 74 publications (among which 31 are

in reputed journals with impact factor) and 47 presentations in conferences (14

international and 30 national levels).

The NSS unit as well as different departments organizes various social outreach

programmes, awareness and health camps with active involvement of students.

Weakness:

The geographical remoteness of the college alongwith infrastructural bottlenecks of

the area hinders research work by the faculty. The organization of international,

national or state level seminars/conferences also becomes difficult due to reluctance of

academicians to participate.


Page | 6

Opportunities:

The new incumbents are more inclined towards research work, publications and

presentations, both at national and international levels.

The Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) of UGC/State Government motivates teachers

for research publication, projects, etc.

Constraints:

Remoteness of the area takes much of the time and energy of the teachers to dedicate

themselves more towards research.

Future Plan:

The college is negotiating with various departments of the mother university, the

neighbouring colleges, institutions and government departments for research

collaborations.

The IQAC is planning to provide need-based infrastructural facilities to the teachers for

their research work and to publish a bilingual, peer reviewed college journal to

disseminate research papers of the faculty.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

Strengths:

The college stands on 11.2 acres of land, having an eco-friendly ambience with low

pollution and vast areas of greenery with large plantations and three ponds.

The college has three large hostel (boys and girls) campuses, restrooms for teaching and

non-teaching staff, separate Science and Humanities blocks, administrative block, library,

seminar hall, open dais and canteen.

The college has a large playground, with different sports and games amenities.

The fully computerized library has a large reading room with good collection of learning

resources and reprographic facilities, alongwith computers for accessing e-resources.

There is a separate computer lab for students and teachers, with internet and printing

facilities.


Page | 7

Weakness:

Separate rooms for various extension and sports activities are still inadequate due to

prolonged financial crunch of the college. However, presently the college has arranged

for funds and striving for overcoming these lacunae.

Opportunities:

The college has large space for creation of infrastructure.

The college has 12 teaching posts and 9 non-teaching posts that are yet to be recruited.

The college is also eligible to create 17 new teaching posts, which the college is pursuing.

Constraints:

The geographical remoteness alongwith problems pertaining to communication, power,

staff shortage due to slow recruitment policy of the Government and paucity of funds

sometimes deter the college authority in further infrastructural developments.

Future Plan:

The college is trying to construct additional buildings and multi-gym, extend the use of

solar power and drinking water facilities, and upgrade the playground.

The IQAC is planning for more research centric laboratories and library.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION

Strengths:

Since most of the students belong to SC/ST/OBC and minority category, they receive

government stipends. The college provides additional support to General category poor

students.

The college has a ‗Poor-Boys Fund‘ scheme for the financially weaker students whereby

they are provided text books free of cost.

The college has institutional membership of Students Health Home, Govt. of West

Bengal, whereby students can avail medical assistance at meager charges.

The college has arranged for ‗Zero-balance‘ account for the students with the local bank.

The students are encouraged to participate in sports, cultural and extra-curricular

activities.


Page | 8

The college has an Anti-Ragging Cell, Anti Sexual Harassment Cell and Grievance

Redressal Cell. Recently, a web based feedback system and complaint box has been

introduced, whereby they can freely communicate their views to the authority.

The college has recently introduced specialized software based Students‘ Profile

Mapping, whereby their diversity in academic and financial background, and individual

aptitude is determined in order to counsel them towards suitable direction.

Weakness:

The college is unable to maintain the database on students‘ progression.

Since the students are mostly from rural background and first generation learners, they

are poor in English and can avail the e-resources only with the teachers‘ assistance.

Opportunities:

Since the college has recently adopted web based technology, it is expected that students‘

database can be maintained.

The recently introduced specialized software based Students‘ Profile Mapping is

expected to be instrumental in judging the students‘ background, viz, their strength,

weakness, opportunities and constraints (SWOC) so that the college can provide

appropriate support.

Constraints:

The students are often hesitant to open up their minds and reach out to the college

authority regarding their problems due to their backwardness.

Many students who are not conversant with computer take help of others while providing

their feedback.

Future Plan:

The IQAC has introduced basic computer courses for the students and plans to create

further awareness programmes for them.


Page | 9

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

Strengths:

The college is governed on principles of participatory and dynamic management.

The departments have autonomy in their respective academic affairs.

Authority and responsibilities are decentralized through committees and sub-committees.

Software-based accounting and financial transactions ensure absolute transparency.

Compliance to internal and external audit is maintained.

Inspite of low income, efficiency in expenditure management enables steady surplus.

Weakness:

The college is guided by the rules and regulations of the University of Calcutta and the

Government of West Bengal, and hence subject to their inherent limitations.

Opportunities:

The composition of the present Governing Body consists of ten academicians (teachers of

different colleges) having practical knowledge about college administration. Hence

several structural adjustments/improvements can be expected from this apex body.

Constraints:

Since the college is located in a remote rural area, the administration always has to keep

local sentiments and values in consideration.

Future Plan:

The college is planning to implement more software driven college management system.


Page | 10

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

Strengths:

The college provides education mostly to first generation learners.

The college has a large green base and it always strives for environmental management.

In spite of geographical and infrastructural constraints, the college has adopted modern

technologies/methods and is gradually moving towards full automation.

From the inception of the college, it provides hostel facilities to needy students without

which they could not proceed for higher education.

The college has adopted transparent online admission system, web based feedback

system, teaching aid software, computerized office and library and a system of 3600

teachers‘ evaluation.

Weakness:

The college is experiencing shortage of full-time staff due to slow recruitment policy of

the government.

Opportunities:

Though limited in number, the staff is however mostly technology inclined and hence the

college authority can go for adopting new innovations in teaching-learning process.

Constraints:

The college has financial limitations in upgradation of hostels and further adoption of

technology.

The new government policy of discontinuation of recruitment of substantive hostel

employees may hinder the hostel service to the needy students.

Future Plan:

The IQAC is planning for more structured environmental management system including

extensive use of solar power.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and describe how these are

communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders.

VISION:

Extension of higher education, and inculcation of moral and ethical values amongst the

young generation of socially and economically disadvantaged communities of the

remote villages of Sundarbans to transform and uplift their own lives and

communities, so as to attain equity with the advantaged groups.

MISSION:

To reach out to the remote villages of Sundarbans with the determination to make at

least a graduate in each family.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To motivate all students of the area for higher education who qualify Higher

Secondary Examination.

2. To remove the constraints of weak and backward rural students in the college by

creating opportunities for higher education through extra care and facilities.

3. To provide hostel facilities to maximum number of students from remote areas,

along with necessary educational amenities within the college campus and providing

support for obtaining stipends and scholarships to financially weaker students.

4. To bring out their inner talents by way of extra-curricular activities.

other stakeholders by publishing in the college website, printing it in the college prospectus, by

displaying the statement at strategic places like library, office, teachers‘ room, Principal‘s room,

in all hostels, and on notice boards in the corridor. The same message is communicated during

various academic programmes in the college.


Page | 20

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).

Since the college is an undergraduate institution, it has no scope for framing any

curriculum; it follows the curriculum framed by the mother University.

At the beginning of every academic year, the college designs an academic calendar that

specifies the tentative dates of internal and university examinations, seminars, excursion,

and other co-curricular activities to be conducted during the year.

All the departments prepare their month-wise teaching plans which include lecture hours

and topics to be taught by each teacher.

A specialized website has been designed for the teachers to post the teaching plans

individually.

The faculty members are also given academic diaries to keep records of their teaching

progress.

In case a faculty fails to finish his/her syllabi within the stipulated time, he/she arranges

for special classes/ extra classes for his/her subject.

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?

The University organizes Refresher and Orientation courses, and different seminars,

symposiums, workshops, conferences etc., attending which the teachers can update their

knowledge and comprehend new policies of the University.

The college encourages the teachers to participate in refresher and orientation courses,

and seminar/workshops/conferences.

The college also encourages and provides duty leave and feasible support to faculty for

research and projects.

The college provides ICT enabled teaching aids for more effective deliberation.

Teachers have access to INFLIBNET whereby they take help from web resources for

quality teaching.

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 agency.

The college provides-

Autonomy to the respective departments and the teachers for planning and formulating

academic schedule and delivering them effectively.


Page | 21

Well-equipped classrooms with Audio-visual systems.

Computer access to most of the Departments.

Special classes for those unable to attend classes due to NSS camps or participation in

sports, and remedial classes for slow learners.

Extra classes to compensate for loss of classes due to exogenous reasons.

Additional study materials to students through college website.

Repository of instruction manuals through the IQAC.

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

bodies and the university in effective operationalization of the curriculum?

No such network or interaction is available in the College.

The IQAC is planning to frame a feasible network with nearby educational institutions

for effective operationalization of the curriculum.

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

the curriculum by the University?(number of staff members/departments represented on

the Board of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback provided,

specific suggestions etc.)

The institution being an affiliated college under the University of Calcutta has no right to

design the curriculum. However, the University before designing a new curriculum or

modifying/changing the existing curriculum organizes workshops whereby some teachers

of the college contribute through suggestions and opinions.

The IQAC takes feedbacks from students and other stakeholders through a set of

questionnaires and suggestions from the faculty in various academic meetings, and

communicates the same through teachers in the meetings and workshops of the

university.

Recently, the college has introduced online feedback system, whereby regular feedbacks

are obtained from teachers, students, alumni, members of the Governing Body and other

stakeholders.

institutional approaches to overcome these.

Challenges in completing the curriculum –

The college experiences shortage of permanent staff due to retirement and delay in

recruitment in the vacant posts by the Government. Some of the departments run with

no permanent teachers or less teachers than required, for which the college is

pursuing the concerned Government Departments for sanctioning new posts.

Sometimes, teachers cannot maintain their scheduled lesson plans due to their

individual research activities, refresher/orientation programme, and participation in

various seminars, conferences, workshops, etc.

A number of teaching days are lost due to elections, strikes and students‘ union

activities.


Page | 40

Measures taken to overcome these challenges –

Appointment of guest faculty in departments with inadequate teachers

Extra classes within and beyond class hours to compensate for the classes lost due to

exogenous factors

Arrangement of Special and tutorial classes by each department to bridge the gap.

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

Previously, the Academic Sub-committee used to monitor the performances of individual

departments in implementing the Academic Plan.

Presently, in addition to the Academic Sub-committee‘s scheduled activities, the IQAC

has introduced a systematic mechanism for monitoring and evaluating the quality of

teaching-learning. The major among them include:

Daily recording of individual activities of teachers and comparing them with the

Departmental Academic Plan.

Evaluation of performances of the teachers through students‘ feedback analysis.

The college being a government aided institute does not have much opportunity in

recruitment and retention of teachers in the institution as the same is decided by the

Higher Education Department, Government of West Bengal.

The West Bengal College Service Commission recruits teachers, and the college is

required to appoint them in accordance to West Bengal College Service Commission Act.

Prior to August 2010, the college had the authority of recruiting part time teacher/

contractual teachers (against vacant sanctioned posts). But by an order, the Government

of West Bengal has taken up the authority.

Presently, only guest faculties can be engaged by the college, purely on temporary basis,

subject to the financial and availability constraints.

2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualified senior faculty

to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduced

(Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the

institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three years.

The college tries to meet the requirements from among its existing faculty engaged in the

higher study/research and in some cases by providing them training courses.

It also appoints guest faculty from college fund in case of need.

At present no teacher has received such award.


Page | 43

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?

Previously, the Principal took verbal feedback from students regarding quality of

teaching-learning process, and then discussed the same with the teachers in order to bring

improvements. Evaluation of teachers by external peer is done at the time of career

advancement programme.

Recently, the IQAC has introduced a mechanism of feedback system that evaluates

performances of each teacher. Evaluation of each teacher is assessed from four angles

viz., by students, the teacher himself/herself, management and external academic peers.

The final score is arrived as the average of the four scores.

2.4 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 system of university examination has been changed from 2 + 1 system to 1+1+1

system since 2009.

The question patterns have been changed such that some of the broad essay type

questions get replaced by knowledge based short questions.

The University has also introduced the system of supplementary examination where

students who fail to pass the main examination are given opportunity to appear for a

supplementary examination to clear the papers where they were unsuccessful.

The University has recently introduced a system of Post-Publication self-scrutiny

under RTI so that credibility of the evaluation process can be ensured.

Evaluation reforms of the college –

The IQAC has introduced the system of continuous internal assessment to

comprehend the students‘ performances and take decisions accordingly.


Page | 44

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?

Since the college is affiliated to the University of Calcutta, it strictly follows the

regulations of the university.

To make effective implementation of the reforms made by the university, it has adopted

the same system in its internal evaluation process.

In addition to the existing evaluation process, the IQAC is now in the process of framing

some innovative method of evaluation that will supplement the existing system.

Initially, it has initiated the system of continuous internal assessment, whereby monthly

class tests are taken so as to make the students remain updated and thoroughly prepared

for University Examination.

It has also introduced the process of group-discussion, students‘ seminar and micro

teaching for the students‘ evaluation.

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.

Among the formative evaluation approaches adopted by the college, worth-mentioning

schemes are holding of mid-term examinations, class-assessment, group-discussions,

students‘ seminars, quiz etc.

Among summative evaluation approach, the college holds Test Examination before

university examination.

Depending upon the academic evaluation of the students, slow and advanced learners are

identified by the departments. Special/remedial classes are arranged for the slow learners

and special references are provided for the advanced learners by the concerned teachers.

For poor performers, parent-teacher meetings are held to make both students and their

parents aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the students.

All these methods have shown positive impacts on the ultimate performances of the

students. Some of the successes are –

Most of the students who performed poorly in the class test/ mid-term examinations

are observed to have improved their performances through direct assistance of their

respective teachers.

The new quiz programme introduced on an experimental basis by the IQAC has

shown a keen interest of 110 participants in the department of Bengali (Hons. only).


Page | 45

The new students‘ seminar programme introduced on an experimental basis by the

IQAC induced 6 students to deliver lecture in the departmental seminar organized

jointly by the departments of Political Science and History.

A parent-teacher meeting organized for 93 students who performed poorly in the test

examination have shown a positive improvement in their final result.

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.)

duties meticulously.

Students found to use unfair means are strictly dealt with.

Parent-teachers meetings are held to ensure transparency in the internal assessment,

students are shown their answer scripts, discussions are made on possible improvement

and clarifications made in case of any doubt.

Presently, there is no process of evaluation on the basis of weightage for behavioral

aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on how the mission statement

defines the institution‟s distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the

society, the students it seeks to serve, institution‟s traditions and value orientations, vision

for the future, etc.?

V I S I O N:

M I S S I O N:

The college is located in the remotest part of West Bengal surrounded by rivers and

forests.

At the time of the foundation of the college in 1961, the area lacked proper

communication, electricity, drinking water and medical facilities. Small manually

operated boats were the only mode of communication, so that one took a whole day or

two to reach any nearby town. The formidable economic condition of the inhabitants

deterred them to send their wards to Kolkata (the only option) for education.

In the backdrop of such disparaging situation, the college was established with the

mission to reach out to each family of the area, make them aware about higher education

and ensure at least one graduate in each family, so that he/she can lead the entire new

generation towards higher education.

Extension of higher education and inculcation of moral and

ethical values amongst the young generation of socially and

economically disadvantaged communities of the remote

villages of Sundarbans to transform and uplift their own

lives and communities, so as to attain equity with the

advantaged groups

To reach out to the remote villages of Sundarbans with the

determination to make at least a graduate in each family


Page | 83

The college has been offering higher education to its students with minimum possible

fees and providing maximum possible accommodation at meager charges in its hostels.

Apart from advertising and publicizing, the college authority as well as members of

faculty and staff uses the dais of different schools and social programmes in the region to

motivate people for sending their wards to the college and advocate on the facilities

provided by the college.

The college not only counsels about the necessity and benefits of higher education but

also assures all sorts of support to them while in the college and afterward in their career

building.

Since the condition is still miserable in most parts of this delta region, arrangements are

made for all necessary support for scholarships, government stipends for SC, ST, OBC

and Minority students (which comprise about 90 to 95 percent of the total students),

Kanyashree for girls and subsidized/free education for poor General Caste students.

performance? If „yes‟, what was the outcome and response of the institution to such an

effort?

Yes. Earlier, verbal feedback was taken regularly by the head of the institution regarding

institutional provisions. Recently, the college has designed structured feedback forms and

has introduced an online feedback mechanism where students, parents, alumni as well as

other stakeholders give their opinion. They are analyzed internally by the IQAC for

rectification as well as betterment of the institutional provisions. On the basis of students

demand the institution has introduced four new subjects, two add-on courses, an open

dais for cultural activities, library in girls hostel, a multi-gym, extension of drinking water

provision etc.

that information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and considered for better

appraisal.

The college authority is currently apprising all the staff taking into consideration the

extent of their performing work independently, time-bound performance of work and the

complaints made by the stake holders, if any.

The IQAC of the college has framed a 3600 performance appraisal system of the staff to

evaluate their performances and ensure quality service by the college to its stakeholders.


Page | 94

The performance appraisal system of the staff is based on a set of questionnaires that are

to be answered by the staff himself/herself as well as by all stakeholders and finally

evaluated by the arithmetic average score.

6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports by the management

and the major decisions taken? How are they communicated to the appropriate

stakeholders?

In case the staff does not perform his/her task properly the reasons are reviewed and

necessary steps are taken including special counseling and training programmes are

arranged for him/her to overcome the deficiency.

The stakeholders, who are affected by the poor performance of any staff are personally

interacted by the Principal and are communicated about the measures taken in that regard.

Recently the Governing Body has constituted IQAC to study the academic and

administrative functioning of the college. The Cell interacts with teaching and non-

teaching members of the college and gathers valuable inputs. The Cell regularly submits

its recommendations to the Governing Body for further action.

The IQAC is to publish its report of findings on the performance appraisal of the staff

alongwith the measures taken by the college for achieving quality services.

activities.

Moreover, the college provides independence and promotes a friendly work atmosphere.

6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 What is the institutional mechanism to monitor effective and efficient use of available

financial resources?

The college has a three-tier financial management and control system. At the top, the

Governing Body is the custodian of the finance of the college. It makes major allotments

to the Principal for expenditures for the specified purposes.

The Finance Committee, a specially designated committee framed by the Governing

Body, keeps close watch and monitors the finance of the college and makes certain

allotments for expenditure which is finally ratified by the Governing Body.

All petty cash expenditure and expenditures for day to day operations are made by the

Principal and approved by the Finance committee/Governing Body.

In addition to these the Bursar of the college is responsible for maintaining records and

make necessary arrangements for internal and external audits on behalf of the Principal.

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

audit done and what are the major audit objections? Provide the details on compliance.

The College has no formal internal audit committee. However, from time to time the

finance committee makes arrangement for internal audit of certain expenditure. Every

year the DPI, Govt. of West Bengal appoints external auditors to audit the financial

statement and transactions of the college. The college makes arrangements and provides

all necessary documents and information to the auditor who conducts the audit and

submits annual audit report.

The audit of the college is up to date. The last audit was made for the financial year of

2013-2014.

There was no major adverse finding or qualified report.

have been submitted to the respective funding authorities.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

a. Has the institution established an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)? If „yes‟, what

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

institutionalizing the quality assurance processes?

Yes; the IQAC was formed on 3rd

February, 2015.

The IQAC is continuously reviewing the existing process of academic plan, delivery of

lecture, evaluation system, extension activities like sports, cultural programme, social and

community work, etc.

It also reviews institutional provisions with respect to class-room, office, library and

administrative provisions, seminars and workshops and other student facilities.

The IQAC not only reviews the institutional facilities through meetings with staff but has

also introduced a systematic feedback mechanism both in hard copy and on-line forms.


Page | 97

The feedbacks received are thoroughly scrutinized by the cell and appropriate measures

are taken for improvements. In case, the IQAC cannot take any measure of its own, it

forwards the same with its recommendations to the Principal or Governing Body for

appropriate measures.

b. How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by the management / authorities

for implementation and how many of them were actually implemented?

The College puts IQAC in the third position in the Organizational hierarchy to formulate,

implement and monitor policies regarding quality education and service. The IQAC is

engaged in designing or modifying the practices of the college in accordance with the

norms of the Higher Education Department keeping in view the local consideration.

The IQAC initially proposed the necessities of ICT, Fully Automated Library and Office,

Renovation of Laboratories which had been unanimously accepted by the Governing

new policies. However, regarding the day to day functioning of the college, its

observation and suggestions are notified through the Principal, being the Chairman of the

committee, to all teaching and non-teaching staff and others stakeholders as the case may

be to follow its decision.


Page | 98

6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality assurance of the academic

and administrative activities? If „yes‟, give details on its operationalization

The institution has an IQAC which is working hard to introduce an integrated framework

for Quality Assurance.

The IQAC meets regularly to review the existing institutional provisions and process of

CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

The college has an internal Green Audit Committee that regularly monitors the greenness

and cleanliness of the college campus.

The Committee is responsible for maintaining the green campus with plantations

including rare medicinal plants and ponds, facilitating waste management and taking

measures for energy conservation. The Committee tries to create environmental

awareness among students by involving the NSS and the hostel boarders in its activities.

The Committee organizes seminars on environmental awareness and sustainable

development and encourages both students and local community for environmental

conservation of the Sundarbans.

Recently the Committee has introduced a mechanism for internal control over greenness

and cleanliness of the college campus and conducting annual Green Audit.

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

* Energy conservation –

The college makes extensive use of CFL lights.

There is proper vigilance, including centrally controlled switching system, to minimize

the misuse and wastage of electricity.

The college has generators and inverters of different capacities to supply need based

power requirement in case of power cut to control unnecessary wastage of fuel.

While constructing the buildings, the college authority takes care so as to facilitate

adequate natural illumination and ventilation of each room to save energy.

* Use of renewable energy –

The college uses solar power for pumping underground water, used for sanitation and

drinking purpose, and for partly supporting power supply in the office.

* Water harvesting –

The college stores rain water in the ponds within it campus, which meets the requirement

of water for maintaining the plantations and gardens of the college and also provides

water to some villagers with cultivable land in the vicinity of the college for irrigation in

summer.


Page | 101

* Efforts for Carbon neutrality –

The college does not allow any vehicle inside the college campus.

The extensive plantation within the campus puts a check on the unavoidable emission of

carbon dioxide due to cooking and occasional use of generators.

* Plantation –

There is a huge plantation of trees within the college campus, which is properly

maintained. In case of felling of old trees for purposes of fuel and making furniture, new

plantations are regularly made.

A park has been made within the college campus by the Department of Forest,

Government of West Bengal, and is maintained by the college authority.

Apart from flower gardens, the Department of Botany maintains several rare and

medicinal plants and a greenhouse.

* Waste management –

Non-hazardous solid waste: The solid waste generated is initially gathered and segregated

at source. The saleable waste is given out to the recyclers; the biodegradable waste is

dumped in the composting pit and treated by the Science departments to generate bio

fertilizer that is used for plantation; non-biodegradable and non-saleable waste that is

generated in small amount is dumped in a separate pit.

Hazardous waste: Separate safe pits are maintained for disposal of e-waste and chemical

wastes.

Waste water management: There is proper drainage system and safety tanks for waste

water management.

7.2 Innovations

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

positive impact on the functioning of the college.

The functioning of the college office and library has been fully automated.

Online admission process has been introduced from the session 2015-16.

Extensive use of ICT tools in teaching learning has been introduced, whereby PowerPoint

presentations and smart boards are used to complement the conventional chalk and talk

method.

Students are encouraged to participate in group discussions, subject related debates, give

presentations in students‘ seminars and contribute in departmental wall magazines.

The college has a formal online system to obtain feedback from students, teachers,

parents and alumni on institutional provisions.


Page | 102

On the basis of teachers‘ observations and results of college examination, meetings and

counseling are held at regular intervals with parents regarding improvement of their

wards‘ performance.

Arrangements are made for bi-annual meeting of the students with the college Governing

Body.

Due to lack of demand in Science and Commerce streams, the college has been providing

full free-ship and additional library assistance to students enrolled in these streams,

whereby a few students could be retained.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices, which have contributed to the achievement of the

Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities

of the college.

Best Practice – I

1. Title of the Practice:

“Extensive Hostel Facilities for disadvantaged and girl students”

2. Goal

To make higher education accessible to the needy students who are financially, culturally

and socially backward, residing in remotest areas having poor transportation facilities,

and cannot pursue their education without hostel accommodation.

More importantly, to reach out to female students belonging mostly to conservative

families having reservations to go outside the locality for higher education due to cultural

and security reasons.

To provide comprehensive support to the boarders in all respects viz. counseling by the

faculty and other staff beyond office hours, financial support, sports and cultural

facilities, and inculcating moral and social values.


Page | 103

3. The Context

Since the college is situated in a remote area of Sundarban delta, the transportation and

communication system is very poor. Most of the inhabitants belong to SC/ST/OBC and

Muslim minority. Many of them cannot afford education without cheap hostel facility.

Right from the beginning, the college has been getting overwhelming response from the

students. Initially to meet the demand, temporary structures were made due to financial

constraints.

Over the time the college has constructed two separate hostel campuses for boys and girls

with accommodation capacities of 200 and 350 respectively. However, the demand is

increasing day by day and is posing a challenge for the college to accommodate all of

them.

To cater to the escalating demand, the college has recently arranged for funding from the

UGC and is presently constructing a new girls‘ hostel and also preparing for construction

of a new boys hostel.

4. The Practice

The college provides accommodation in the Boys hostel on the basis of distance and/or

inconvenience in communication system of the applicants. However, it tries to

accommodate all the applicants in the girls‘ hostel.

The college not only accommodates all the physically handicapped students but also

makes necessary arrangements for their comfortable stay.

When the demand for girl students exceeds the capacity in the hostel it makes alternative

arrangements by allotting additional rooms in the building used for other purposes.

The college not only provides boarding facility at minimum cost but also sometimes

bears the boarding costs of some of the financially weak boarders in the hostels who

cannot contribute their regular cost.

The college provides facilities relating to sports, recreational and extracurricular activities

within the hostel campuses.

The college initially introduced a scheme of subsidized kerosene oil for lighting purpose

in the evening; now it is supplying uninterrupted electric power for the boarders.

The college assists all the boarders to get government stipends to meet their boarding and

educational expenditure.

Since many of the teachers stay at night within the college premises, the college has made

a provision for teaching and other assistance to the students beyond the working hours.


Page | 104

5. Evidence of Success

Ensured feasibility of higher education: Initially, when there was no transportation

system except manually operated boats in the vast part of the area, it was impossible for

the students residing in the remote areas in the delta to travel daily for college education.

In these circumstances, our college was the first among the nearby colleges to introduce

hostel facility. The benefit pertaining to the students is evident from the fact that almost

all (about 97%) of the students sought hostel accommodation in the college.

Enabled inclusive higher education: The extremely poor students who were incapable of

bearing their daily expenses for sustenance were incentivized by facilitating free boarding

in the hostels and arranging for government stipends. This measure attracted these

impoverished students to enroll for higher education.

Facilitated overcoming distance even in present days: Although some improvements

have been made in the communication system in the area by the government, there are

still places from where the students cannot travel to and fro in a single day. The area like

Samshed Nagar, Sandeshkhali, Santigachi, Joygopalpur, Kumirmari, Chotomollahkhali,

Sathjhelia etc. on the one hand, do not have colleges in their vicinity, and on the other,

need ten to twelve hours of journey to reach our college. The provision of hostel has been

of immense convenience to them.

Indispensable for girl students from conservative and minority families: The hostel is

instrumental in reaching out to the girl students belonging to conservative and minority

families. They are neither allowed to travel long distances due to social and security

reasons, nor permitted to stay far away from their residences outside the family

surveillance. The hostel facility in our college brought about a revolution in bringing

these girls within the purview of higher education.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Initially the college bore the boarding cost and realized the amount as and when it

received their stipends. The practice was convenient for the poor families, who could not

even bear their daily expenditure. But due to financial shortage and rising price level the

college is unable to afford the same, except helping few boarders in this regard.

Due to changing Government policy regarding appointment, a shortage of man power has

become inevitable. Therefore, the college authority is now facing a challenge in

providing quality service and security in the hostels.


Page | 105

There is no provision for appointment of full time Hostel Superintendent; the teachers

take the responsibility and due to their load of other assignments they face difficulty in

managing the hostels at optimum level.

Poor supply of power with low voltage and frequent power cuts not only hamper the

academic atmosphere but also deter the college in providing modern facilities.

7. Notes

Inspite of geographic and financial constraints, the college authority is trying its best to provide

maximum feasible amenities to the boarders. The authority is negotiating with the HRD

Ministry, UGC and various departments of the State Government for financial assistance for

renovation of hostel campuses, construction of new buildings, supply of proper and safe drinking

water, provision of more hygienic sanitary facilities, arrangement for alternative power supply

(preferably solar), creation of e-library facility, provision of better opportunities for sports and

extracurricular activities, etc. within the hostel campuses.

Best Practice – II

1. Title of the Practice:

―Extensive use of ICT‖

2. Goal

The goal is to provide:

To ensure fast and transparent admission process and maintain a comprehensive students‘

database.

To ensure methodical and transparent electronic record-keeping in accounts and finance,

office, library and hostel administration.

To maintain a single system database linking all the functions of the college viz. office,

library, hostel and finance.

To use ICT based teaching methods including PPT, Smart Board, etc.

To provide and receive electronic information service to and from all through web-based

technology.

To use web based feedback to facilitate all stake holders to communicate their grievances

and suggestions.


Page | 106

3. The Context

Earlier record keeping of all activities of the college was done in conventional manual

method. Error free, safe storage and timely retrieving of data was a challenge.

The maintenance of multiple filing systems for the same database with inadequate staff

added to the problem.

The automation process has led to capture of data at its source point, maintenance of

single shared database to be used for different purposes, and supply and access of

information from anywhere, which has been convenient to students and the office staff.

Auto-flow of financial records from collection from students to reflection in balance

sheet has led to greater financial control and transparency.

Library automation has made access to library much easier.

ICT based teaching learning has not only improved the quality of teaching but also been

able to attract students.

Web based feedback mechanism enabled the institution to gather grievances and

suggestions of all stake holders.

4. The Practice

Office: The entire functional areas have been made computerized with a single database, shared

through a Wi-Fi enabled network. The college office has been fully computerized with integrated

office management software which enables computerized admission, record maintenance, fees

collection, recording of student data and progression, preparation of different reports, etc. The

fees collected are directly recorded in the accounts section having an accounting package. The

accounting package also facilitates voucher generation, preparation of balance sheet, pay-packet

generation, salary bills, PF records, preparation of tax and other deduction bills and also prepares

different reports with transparency and completeness. Moreover, the system is designed to fix

authority and responsibility on the dealing staff and provides all required information with

greatest transparency, accuracy and reliability.

On-line admission: The admission process follows fully ―on-line‖ system. The admission

process starts with posting of advertisement in the college website

(http://www.hazidesaratcollege.org) clearly mentioning all relevant details: cut-off dates, available

subject combinations, eligibility criteria, number of seats, reservation policy, fee structure, etc.

Once a student successfully submits his/her details in the specially designed electronic form,

automatically a barcode marked slip is generated with bank details for submission of fees

accompanied by an SMS alert in his/her mobile phone. The final merit list of eligible candidates

for each department is then published on the website.


Page | 107

Student Records: The students records are comprehensively maintained in the college software,

while filled-in university registration forms, student identity card, student voter list, library card

are automatically generated from the system. The system maintains a single database which is

used in different ways and in different sections.

The Library Services: The services of the library – cataloging, stock taking, lending, buying, and

archiving of all the books are maintained with the help of the library software. In addition, free

internet facility is available to students and teachers alike in the Library during college hours.

The computerization of the library also enables the college to provide OPAC, INFLIBNET and

use of e-resources.

ICT based teaching-learning: The college has been using ICT extensively in its teaching-

learning process. The teachers not only use projectors, smart boards, audio-visual aid and e-

resources in their class room teaching but also use the college website in preparation of their

academic plan and question bank, supplying additional material to the students, and maintaining

student records for identifying slow and advanced learners.

Feedback mechanism: The college has introduced on-line feedback mechanism from students,

staff, alumni, parents, local authority and other stake holders. The feedback is analyzed regularly

by the IQAC and appropriate measures are taken for improvement of teaching-learning and

evaluation and institutional provisions. The online feedback mechanism is also used for the

system of 360 degree teachers‘ appraisal.

5. Evidence of Success

Prompt service to students: Presently, students are timely served without long waits

despite less staff during rush period viz., admission, filling of forms, etc., in contrast to

the inability of relatively more staff earlier to attend and serve many students on the same

day.

Optimal human resource management: Earlier, three to four staffs were engaged in

admission and fees collection work ignoring many other works. Now a single staff is able

to complete the admission process without being overloaded. As a result some work force

are allotted for screening and assisting the students in filling of different forms, providing

other services to the students, attending parents and other stake holders.


Page | 108

Error free service: Earlier, not all students‘ errors in filling University Forms could be

rectified through verification due to maintenance of data in multiple forms and

inconvenient and time consuming information retrieval process. Presently, many forms

are system generated while others can be easily rectified during verification as the

information is on the fingertips of the dealing staff.

Revolution in information service: All information relating to student, finance and

accounts, and college library sought by different departments of government or other

stake holders are now retrieved and supplied in few minutes vis-à-vis several days in the

earlier system.

Authority and transparency over receipts and expenditure: The system fixes authority

and responsibility over every rupee received or spent by the college leading to greatest

transparency, completeness and objectivity of the financial records.

Improved teaching learning: New ICT based teaching-learning process not only covers

new dimensions in teaching-learning, evaluation and institutional provisions but also is

attractive and easier use for both students and teachers. With the limited staff strength the

college is able to provide better facility to the students through supplying academic plan,

question bank, additional resources and materials.

Smooth library services: The computerized library enables students to access catalogue

from their home, e-resources of the library provide them wider range for study.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The college faces shortage of workforce; a number of posts are vacant including Office

Superintendent, Librarian, Accountant, Cashier, Library Clerk; except a few, most of the

available staff are ‗Group D‘ employees having lack of proficiency in computer operation

and enthusiasm for training.

Inertia in the mindset of some of the staff and other stake holders also create hindrances

in the process.

Initially, availability of computers and internet facility, training facility, re-organization

of office and library space was a challenge.

Slow speed and often unavailability of Internet service sometimes create frustration

among the staff.

Geographic location of the college delays the service of repairing, maintenance and

restoration of services in case of system fault or failure.

Low voltage and frequent power-cut add to the challenge for the college in this process.


Page | 109

7. Notes

Inspite of all the hurdles the college not only successfully implemented extensive ICT based

teaching-learning and institutional provisions but has also been successful in changing the

mindset of its staff and other stake holders initially reluctant to the system. The authority is

negotiating with the State Government for immediate recruitment in the vacant posts,

arrangement for stable and steady power supply and/or alternative power supply (preferably

solar). The authority is also trying its best for necessary financial arrangements for installation of

high speed internet service and creation of e-library facility, and developing operational

proficiency among the existing staff through continuous training programme.
