PREFACE

Assessment of an educational institution on quality parameters is important in

achieving a place of prominence and making it a favourable destination for education. In this

regard, It gives me an immense pleasure to submit the Self Study Report of Government First

Grade College, Arsikere to NAAC for assessment and accreditation.

In order to empower the rural youth by developing key competencies through deep learning,

the college was started in Arsikere taluk of Hassan district by Government of Karnataka in

2006. The SSR preparation has given an opportunity to confidently assure ourselves that all

the academic activities of Government First Grade College Arsikere is in line with its vision

and mission statements. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established in the

year 2011. It has been instrumental in introducing diverse measures for quality enhancement

since its inception. The preparation of the SSR was a collective effort by all the teaching and

non teaching staff of the college. All have contributed significantly in analyzing the processes

in each criterion and in helping us to identify our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and

also future challenges and in the systematic recording of all relevant information.

My sincere thanks to our former Principal Prof.Syed Basha, for his concern towards college

and guidance for preparation of SSR. During his reign Our College LOI AND IEQA was

successful.

I express my heartfelt gratitude to the all the members of NAAC steering committee for

working together and bringing out the SSR in a lucid manner to represent our college.

I am thankful to the members of the full time, guest Teaching faculty and Non-Teaching staff

for the co-operation extended in preparing SSR within the stipulated time.

the seven criteria in the SSR is given below:

Criteria – 1: Curricular aspects

The mission, vision and objective of Government First Grade College, Arsikere is

amply reflected in the college motto of “Galvanize pupils attitude”. Right from its

inception in 2006 till today the college has been striving hard to provide quality

education. Empowerment of rural youth by developing in them a thirst for knowledge,

research, freedom of expression, respect for culture, being eco friendly with nature and

generating sensitivity towards one‟s environment are some the focal points around which

the institution works. All departments in the college organize seminars, symposia, study

tours and other academic activities to strengthen the teaching learning process.

Continuous Internal Evaluation of the students ensures prompt interventions for the

effective transaction of the curriculum. The various Departments, the Staff Council,

committees, and NSS units run comprehensive programmes for the betterment of the

students in particular and society at large. Continuous efforts are made to update college

infrastructure like the college library, seminar Hall, website, college office, the

classrooms and labs with the latest technology. Government First Grade College,

Arsikere has an active Placement Cell that not only helps students in getting jobs but also

college is yet to be recognized by the UGC under section 12 (B), the teachers are not able

to receive any research grants or projects from the UGC. All faculties are encouraged to

Seminars and Workshops. Five faculties are M.Phil holders and among them one is

pursuing Ph.D and others are engaged in writing research papers on various topics. The

through specific example(s).

The Motto of Government First Grade College Arsikere is to empower the rural youth to

inculcates human values in them to make them succeed in today‟s competitive world. The

College has adopted the curriculum designed by University of Mysore in order to develop

competency, obtain employment. The college meticulously develops an action plan for

effective implementation of the curriculum.

The initial step for the effective implementation of the curriculum is to prepare the time-table

for every semester. This depicts the duration of the classes and the name of the faculty

member who engages them. The division of workload is as per UGC norms.

The curriculum is divided into modules keeping in view the number of working days

available, which are to be completed by the last working day of the semester.

The faculty members are clearly instructed to impart education on the basis of a curriculum.

It is done through innovative teaching methods such as assignments, presentations, group

discussions, workshops, seminars, industry visits, in addition to regular/traditional teaching

methods.

Each department of the college follows the academic calendar issued by the Mysore

University. The college thereafter plans its academic schedule which clearly mentions the

topics to be taught and the number of working days allocated to respective topics.

Extra classes and remedial classes are held for the weak students and slow learners.

The college gives importance to Assignment based learning, ICT based learning and Industry

needs based learning.

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 college is affiliated to the University of Mysore and hence follows the university„s set

at the beginning of each session / term. Pattern of examination and assessment is also

mentioned The College operates at the UG level keeping in mind our organizational goals and

objectives and all round development of the students which make the students capable of

NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 27

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 our college is affiliated to Mysore University, it doesn‟t have the freedom to frame or

modify the syllabus. However the affiliating university has a system in place to get

recommendations from its affiliated colleges through Board of Studies. Our teachers

also participate in the discussions relating to the curriculum design and workshops

conducted by the university. Whenever they find that the syllabus needs to be modified to

meet the present trends, they communicate their ideas to their respective Members of

board of Studies through the Principal of the college. While recommending or

forwarding the suggestions to the Board of Studies our teachers normally take into

consideration the students‟ feedback as well as other faculty members of various

departments.

1.1.7. Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered (other than

those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If ‗yes‘, give details on

the process (‘Needs Assessment‘, design, development and planning) and the courses

for which the curriculum has been developed.

The college doesn‟t offer any course other than those offered by the affiliating university.

6.3. Faculty Empowerment Strategies

6.3.1. What are the efforts made by the institution to enhance the professional

development of its teaching and non teaching staff?

The Principal rightly identify the individual strengths, areas of interest and accordingly

assign responsibilities to teachers. He protects the freedom of individuals, appreciating

their innovations and thereby motivation is achieved. Responsibilities of every staff are

communicated to them through notices that clearly define their role in the implementation

of any given assignments. Besides they are also informally counselled so as to make them

aware of their duties. The college raises funds if needed to organize programs for

professional development, enabling the teaching departments to organize seminars,

conferences and workshops. Faculty members of the institution actively participate in

national and international seminars and conferences. OOD facilities are provided. The

institution encourages faculty members to enroll for or provide resources for training

programs and workshops. Most of the members of the teaching faculty are members of

District/State professional bodies. Examination training and Computer training is given to

non teaching staff.

6.3.2. What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty empowerment through

training, retraining and motivating the employees for the roles and responsibility

they perform?

There are relevant rules in the institution regarding the faculty empowerment. These rules

pertain to attending seminars, conferences, refresher and orientation courses, and other

training programs. The need for such training is assessed by the Heads of Departments

who recommend members of the faculty for such programs. The head of the institution

suggests the names of senior faculty who need to be trained for administrative positions

when promotions are due. The College has organized one seminar on Research

Methodology for the faculty of other institutions in the Taluk. The strategies adopted by

the Government of Karnataka for faculty welfare include monetary and Career

Advancement benefits for those with higher qualifications such as M.Phil. and Ph.D. as

well as opportunities for those who wish to improve their qualifications. At the

institutional level, the Principal motivates faculty members through prompt appreciation

of exceptional merit and talent and by providing opportunities for self expression.

6.3.3. Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to evaluate and

ensure that information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and

considered for better appraisal.

The achievements of faculty members are monitored and updated in the college records.

Performance appraisal system is implemented as per the guidelines from UGC. The

appraisal report of faculty is made by the principal on the basis of his/her yearly

achievements, discipline, quality etc. and is then submitted to the DCE. This besides the

assessment of the teachers comes through the feedback forms, which in turn indicate the

teachers‟ quality, by the students also. All the students from each and every class and

section are expected to do so for all the teachers concerned with their classes. The

identities of students are not disclosed. The feedback form has a well defined set of

questions that help the students to evaluate the teaching capacity based on lecture

understanding and define how far the teacher has succeeded in reaching out to the

students. These details are accessible to staff so as to help them judge their performance.

Page 159: NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015...NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015 Government First Grade College, Arsikere, Hassan Dist.- Karnataka GGoovveerrnnmmeenntt aooff KKaarrnnaattaakka

The Principal understands the students‟ reflections and shares it collectively and

individually across the staff. If there are any issues of concern, the faculty member is

facilitated to overcome the lacunae without lowering self esteem. Wherever required,

counseling is provided to staff in order to help them improve their professional

capabilities. The participation of the teachers in various college affairs is closely

monitored by the principal. The head of institution also uses evaluation in an informal

way to improve the services of the office staff.

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

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

appropriate stakeholders?

The Department of Collegiate education keeps a keen vigil on the working behavior of

the members of the teaching as well as the non teaching faculty. It has made mandatory

to upload all details like time table of teachers and their participation in various

committees. Annual increments and placement in the grades are all implemented under

the signatures of the Principal. The department has in the recent past given due

recognition to the teachers who have completed their M.Phil. The college takes effective

decisions and provides the appraisal details to the appropriate stakeholders by

incorporating the decisions in the proceedings of the meetings with them.

6.3.5. What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non teaching staff? What

percentage of staff have availed the benefit of such schemes in the last four years?

The strategies adopted by the Government of Karnataka for faculty welfare include

Career Advancement benefits for those with higher qualifications such as M.Phil. and

Ph.D. as well as opportunities for those who wish to improve their qualifications. There

are also government schemes in place to provide loans for those who wish to

buy/construct houses or to purchase Cars/Flats.

At the institutional level, the College Council motivates faculty members through prompt

appreciation of exceptional merit and talent and by providing opportunities for self

The institution has adopted a three tier system where the governing council is the ultimate

decision making body accountable to the stakeholders. The IQAC, the planning body,

collects inferences from the learners and various committees through participatory

interactions, based on which it proposes comprehensive perspective plan to the Academic

council for approval and implementation. The chain of committees is in charge of

implementation of developmental and academic activities assigned by the advising

The institution is affiliated to the Mysore University, Mysore. The university has its set

mechanism to audit the academic working of the college. The university every year sends

a team of the experts (LIC Committee) to conduct academic audit. The team visits the

college and very minutely observes the working of the institution in all its aspects. The

committee then comments on the performance and thereby suggest the important changes

required, similarly the other form of audit comes in the form of the team visiting the

University of Mysore, Mysore and we make the compliances as per their needs and

requirements.

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

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

outcome?

The institute‟s approach to the learning outcome assessment is defined clearly. Faculty is

best suited to determine the intended educational outcomes of their academic programs

and activities, How to assess these outcomes, and how to use the results for program

development and improvement is a part of student evaluation. The results of Outcome

Assessment are used to evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs and activities,

and student services, and not the performance of individual faculty or staff. Faculty use

the information collected to develop and improve academic programs. The institution has

a clearly defined, set mechanism to monitor the learning outcomes. Attendance is

compulsorily taken for every lecture. Tutorials hours are fixed. The tutorials and

assignments are corrected within a short duration and the marks are entered in work

register, which acts as a ready reckoner for the academic progress of the students. Based

Page 168: NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015...NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015 Government First Grade College, Arsikere, Hassan Dist.- Karnataka GGoovveerrnnmmeenntt aooff KKaarrnnaattaakka

NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE-ARSIKERE-573103 Page 157

on the participation in the class and the marks scored in the tutorials and assignments, the

student level is judged by the staff member and appropriate action is taken. At the end of

each periodical test, progress reports which consist of unit test results and attendance

status are submitted to the office for further action. Counseling is given to slow learners.

Parents of such students are called to meet their respective faculty member, if required.

As the entire courses are continuously assessed, students who lag in these courses are

given additional help and guidance. The faculty members are encouraged to conduct

surprise tests, quizzes, etc. to monitor the academic progress of each student.

6.5.7. How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms

and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders?

The institution has evolved a stakeholders‟ web by forming different platforms like

College Advisory Board, alumni, Parent Teacher Meet and various committees with a fair

representation of students. The IQAC in the planning process considers feedbacks

collected from all the stakeholders to prepare perspectives on development. These

developmental perspectives are discussed in the respective meetings of Advisory Board,

PTA and alumni. The reflections of the meetings are incorporated in the plan. The college

has developed evaluation tools for stakeholders to record their opinions, suggestions and

objections for constructive developments for future.

Any other relevant information regarding Governance Leadership and

Management which the college would like to include.

by a national government as the official song or by convention through use by the people.

The respect we render during the singing of National Anthem educates the students in

showing respect to the country and to the people.

The practice of college assembly in the college has rewarded positively. The students

enter college will before the time and they assemble for this session as soon as the college

bell rings. With great dignity and respect the student, sing the National Anthem in

stipulated time of 52 seconds. This practice has improved the students quality in showing

respect to the nation and it has created a great sense towards the national consciousness

and awareness on current affairs and general knowledge.

3. The Context

The rewarded National Anthem is sung on Independence day, that is 15th

of August every

year, on Republic Day that is 26th

of January every year and MahathamaGandhijijayanthi

2nd

October of every year along with these days of national importance, Birthday of

National Leaders, National Anthem and NaadaGeetha(State Song) is sung every day

during prayer session before commencement of regular class. After completion of the

recital, the headlines from the leading Newspapers are read before the students, the

practice is further strengthen by current events, latest news and the events from sports

etc., is presented before the students. The initiative is whole heartedly supported by the

zealous students and staff equally.

The college in the academic world introduced the technique of remedial classes and

preparing question banks keeping in view the examination perspective. The students

belonging to the college are given extra coaching free of cost by addressing their

problems. Their skills are sharpened and chiseled keeping in view the patterns of the final

examinations. They are given a list of important questions prepared by the expert faculty.

This has helped them attain their targets in a better way.

4. The Practice and the Evidence of the Success

The practice has been a great success because the students get opprtnities to sing the

national song in unison. every day students of all facilities get an opportunities to meet all

the teachers. Besides this they get an opportunities to listen to the highlights of news,

current events and general knowledge. The students aspiring for competitive exams get a

lot of benefit from this practice.

The practice is held on every day and a large number of students and all the lecturers turn

up for the singing of the rewarded National Anthem every day.

Similarly, the college was not able to bring out the best out of the students. The dropout

rate and the failure rate was scaling heights. The college then introduced the college

sponsored Remedial Classes. The students were given extra coaching, free of cost, in all

the subjects in general. The students were given extra guidance in the subjects like

English and maths in particular. The college ensured that the students are provided with

the Question Banks framed by the experienced faculty of the college. This action has

resulted in a steep downfall in the failure rate. The Question Banks have facilitated the

students in such a way that their efforts in the preparation of the final exams have started

bearing fruits.

5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Basically no infrastructural or no finance or time based problem has ever been

encountered expect during rain. The students are allowed to assemble on the corridors.

The remedial classes came as a boon for such students. The students are now finding it

easy to combat the problems they were facing. The college required the infrastructure in

the shape of computer systems. The management provided the same from its resources.

The staff was trained by the computer experts. The software required was purchased. The

resources required for the remedial classes were granted by the UGC.

BEST PRACTICE II

1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: DONATE BLOOD – SAVE LIVES

(―Light up a Life with a Gift‖)

2. Goal : Social sensitization of students is the goal of this deed. ― light up a Life with a

gift‖ the motto that drives many students to support the cause and their

enthusiastic response. Every day hundreds of people need blood who victims of

Accident and also people who are seriously ill or women who suffer complications

during and after delivery. The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for

human blood. The very fact that Blood cannot be manufactured and it can only come

from generous donation only indicates and signifies the importance of blood donation.

In 1997, “The world Health organization (WHO) set a target for all blood donors to be

unpaid volunteers. The institution wants to be the part of it. It‟s our attempt to reach out

to the community by connecting them to those who are willing to donate. It is a

significant contribution of saving a life of a patient by donating blood.

Benefits: “If there is infection in the donated blood, the donor is informed and by

treatment his life is also saved. So donating blood is not just humane but also of benefit

to the self,” said Dr Malay Kant Singh.

3. The Context

Blood donation is a noble deed. It is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for

blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it. It is mandatory for potential donor

to connect himself to the cause of blood donation. „The world Health organization‟ has

given clear direction about it. It is a multipronged process. The most crucial challenge

here is spotting and preparing the potential donors among the students.

Relieved of Pain Sense of Gratification

Every day, hundreds of people in India require blood for transfusion, for surgery and in

some other medical emergencies. In many cases especially in open heart surgery, there

is a need for fresh blood, and therefore there is a need for donors. Students are

considered potential donors because of their age and health. So the institution takes it as

special mission and has been preparing the students to this great task in their future life.

NSS and Red Cross units of the institutions conducts blood donation camps in and

around the campus. Not only students but also faculty members take up this mission to

be achieved. The institution is noted for service oriented, community outreach services.

So the institution has conducted three blood donation camps. Our programme is unique

in the sense that student donors always stand by to present themselves in hospitals

Page 178: NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015...NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015 Government First Grade College, Arsikere, Hassan Dist.- Karnataka GGoovveerrnnmmeenntt aooff KKaarrnnaattaakka

whenever emergency situations occur. Blood donation is a simple four step process.

Registration, Medical test donation and refreshments. Donors are classified according to

their eligibility and blood group. Faculty themselves set an ideal model for the students

and the society. Their service is perennial and perpetual. Their service is extremely

valuable: Their significant contribution would save the life of a patient. Their cause and

spirit elevates their soul to such a great height that gives a kind of gratification for both

the donor and recipient that is possible only to God Himself.

5. Evidence of success

The institution acts as a bridge between patients and student donors and facilitate the

donors to become life givers and heroes in their own right. The WHO observe world

blood donors day on 14th

June each year to promote blood donation. This is the birthday

of Karl Land Steiner, the scientist who discovered ABO blood group system. The theme

of 2012 world blood donors campaign, “Every blood donor is a

hero” focuses on the idea that everyone can become a hero by giving blood. The head of

the institution enlighten the students about the importance and the value attached to it.

The students donate blood why because, they say they want to help others. The most

common reason cited by the students who don‟t give blood are “they never thought of it

“or I don‟t like needles”. The faculty successfully dispelled their fear by giving a clear

picture of the process and the craving of the patients who are in dire need of it.

The institution has turned the students as a great human beings and humane in their

words, deeds and outlook. They have become not only a knowledge packed graduates

but also a future citizens who stand for values. They have established and linked

themselves to the community, stretch their self and conquer the heart of the world armed

with the great weapon

5. Problems Encountered and Resourced Required

The process of blood donation is simple but the precaution and preparation are of very

Page 179: NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015...NAAC Self Study Report (SSR)-2015 Government First Grade College, Arsikere, Hassan Dist.- Karnataka GGoovveerrnnmmeenntt aooff KKaarrnnaattaakka

NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT (SSR) - 2015

careful and serious nature. The process of blood donation has to be carried out according

to the recommendations of the world health organization and the directions given by the

govt. from time to time to primary health units.

Blood donation is rather easy and safe for the most people. But some may feel some pain

or a sense of giddiness when the blood is being drawn. The frequency with which the

blood can be drawn depend upon various factors and also the policies of the concerned

land. Donors are screened for studying their health risk in order to make the donation

safe for the recipient. Blood donors are asked many questions regarding their medical

history. Their race or ethnic background is sometimes important since certain blood

types are specially rare ones are more common in certain ethnic groups. The institution

has made all prior arrangements like trained staff and specialized equipments ready for

blood drawing. Teenage girls are at the risk of a reaction but the girls of our institution

are willingly participating and responding positively for this noble practice. Despite the

hurdles and the risks involved the faculty infused spirit among them and are responsible

for the success of this significant mi
