PREFACE

It gives me immense pleasure to submit the Self Study Report (SSR) of our college to the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore for Re-accreditation (Cycle II). “Everything can happen, everything is possible and probable. On a significant basis of reality, the imagination spins, weaving new patterns; a mixture of memories, experiences, free fancies, incongruities and improvisations.”

August Strindberg

This self study report has been drafted explicitly for the purpose of reaffirmation of accreditation of Government College Mertacity by NAAC and presents a snapshot of the institution at a specific time. Since the last visit of NAAC in 2006, Govt. College Mertacity has witnessed a sea change. In the midst of changing authorities, changing environment and other challenges our institution has maintained a strong commitment to provide better quality programs and services by evaluating priorities and efficiencies to become a stronger institution. Our institution operates with integrity and presents itself clearly and completely to its students.

The design of the present work is to unveil the academic and administrative functions and activities occurring during the past years in the college focussing on the seven criteria specified by NAAC. Hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing soon from you on your decision on Peer Team Visit for Inspection.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - THE SWOC ANALYSIS

Our institution was accredited in 2006 with C+ grade and is now volunteering for the second cycle of reaccreditation, submitting its self study report (SSR), a document that adheres to the guidelines of NAAC. Founded in 1996, our institution is affiliated to Maharishi Dayanand University, Ajmer, Rajasthan. Since its foundation the college has witnessed a meteoric rise and is committed to understand the contemporary challenges. It stands like a torch bearer to guide the students to walk on a path that leads to a brighter future.

Our college is a place with activities and support services that would meet the specific needs of students. The college addresses the social, cultural, academic and recreational needs of the students. We are conscious of the changing scenario of the society and nation. Our mission is to enable the students to maintain an independent lifestyle and to enhance their quality of life.

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 6

• Numerous facilities, scholarships available to meritorious, deserving and economically weaker students.

• Strong mentoring and student support system taking care of all students. • Focus on personality development of each student through development of

positive attitude, leadership qualities and self awareness. • Vibrant atmosphere conducive to all round development of students. • The lively activities of the college in which students from different

backgrounds take part single mindedly reflects the willingness of the young people to lead a co-existing peaceful life.

• Institution is committed to freedom of expression and the pursuit of truth in teaching and learning.

• Institution ensures that faculty, students and staff acquire, discover and apply knowledge responsibly.

• The college provides support for student learning and effective teaching. • The college works systematically to improve its performance.

WEAKNESSES

• No stable administration • Lack of ministerial staff • College is located far off from the main city • Lack of transportation facilities to the college from nearby villages • The laboratories of the science departments need to be upgraded with better

facilities and wider space. • Infrastructure maintenance is not proper • The college has insufficient building • The college has no boundary • Lack of canteen facility • No cycle stand • Migration of the students to other cities that have wider range of studies

providing better job avenues. • The college could have attracted more number of students if it had

provided more attractive courses • The college could also have a better academic atmosphere if the services of

the part time lecturers were regularized. • The college is in need of residential quarters for the teachers and more

hostel accommodations for both boys and girls particularly from the far flung areas.

OPPORTUNITIES

• It is an opportunity for students from a number of nearby villages to take the benefits of a UG college

• College has a vast area so the building can be expanded to create many facilities like development of sports field, sports track, staff quarters, principal’s residence, cycle stand, etc.

• The college can be upgraded to PG college • Plantation of trees • Computerization of library • Since most of the students come from rural background, they can turn up

into players of national and international level in conventional games like kho-kho, kabbaddi, etc.

• Development of leadership skills through student’s union election • With the available space in an area where urbanization has not yet gained

momentum, the expansion and growth of the college can be materialized in a short span of time if a proper and scientific plan is executed.

CHALLENGES

• Limitation and constraint in government financial support • To motivate the faculty and staff for changing and progressive paradigms

in Higher Education • To achieve academic excellence despite vacant teaching posts in some

subjects • To develop students interest in studies • Maximum attendance in classes • To repair the cracks in the college building • Computer and internet facility for all departments • Internet access for students • Posting of sufficient ministerial staff • Upgradation of the college to PG level • Construction of college boundary • Construction of staff quarters • This is high time for the decision makers to take up befitting measures for

bringing about a bold change in the educational scenario • The college should be strong enough to support itself for opening new and

attractive courses as desired by the new generation apart from the old traditional courses.

According to University Rule, a U.G. student has to get at least 75% attendance to qualify for the final examination. In order to fulfill this condition, number of lectures attended by the students in an academic year is counted term wise i.e. from July – September, July – December and July - February. Then lecture shortage is calculated and students are informed time to time about the status regarding the number of lectures attended so that they can cover up their lecture shortage if any, by attending classes regularly in the future. Some other reforms / measures taken by the university to improve the efficiency are:

• OMR answer sheets have been introduced in compulsory subjects like environmental studies and elementary computer applications.

• Keeping in view the changing scenario at the national and international level, the syllabi are designed accordingly from time to time to encourage analytical thinking among students and promote research.

Besides creating an academic environment for promotion of quality and accountability, the IQAC has been evolving novel avenues, focussing on the core values identified by NAAC.

Within the existing academic and administrative system, the college has evolved mechanisms of its own for the quality assurance. The academic quality of the institution is maintained by the teaching and learning processes. The administrative quality is maintained by the effective functioning of the various committees. The academic quality of the institution is evaluated on the basis of the curricular aspects, especially the performance of the students in their examinations. The different committees set up by the institution are well equipped for quality assurance of the institution‘s administration. The academic and administrative systems in the institution have been quite effective in enhancing the quality of education. The participation of students in quality assurance is assured by having

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 college has introduced several innovations in academics, administration and other levels of the college‘s functioning to foster global competencies among students and enable them to carve a niche for themselves in this fast changing educational scenario.

a) Innovative Curricular Programmes

• Youth Development Centre (YDC)

An innovative step for the holistic growth of its students by the college has been the establishment of a Youth Development Centre (YDC) for the final year graduation students of all the three faculties since 2009-10. YDC conducts lectures from experts on topics related to career guidance and personality development so as to make the students aware of the various scopes ahead when they step out of the precincts of the college. Lectures on virtually every aspects of personality starting from inculcating leadership and communication skills, physical fitness, self management, stress management, anger management to aspects related to employment such as How to write C.V., How to face an interview, How to hunt for job, Major Competitive Exams, IT skills, Soft sklills, Entrepreneurship, Freelance career, etc. are conducted by YDC. These lectures not only refine the overall personality of its pupils but also help them face the challenges of future so that they emerge victorious in whatever endeavour of life they choose. The course has benefitted the students in terms of attitudinal changes and greater confidence.

practical awareness and application. • The college has provided computers/laptops, digital camera, LCD

Projectors, OHPs, smart boards and internet facilities to enhance the process of teaching-learning.

• Students Union Elections have been started in 2010 so as to develop a sense of participating in Democratic system of Government of India.

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.

First Best Practice

Title of the Practice-Establishing Self through Empowerment

Page 98: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 98

Goal

“One of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself, know who you are, what you believe in and where you want to go”

Sheila Murray

Woman is the epitome of love, care, loyalty, tolerance, dedication and many more virtues. She holds up half the sky. And so ‘women empowerment’ gains significance in every sense of the term. Empowerment is basically the creation of an environment where women can make independent decisions on their personal development as well as shine as equals in society. So to provide a gender sensitive and congenial environment to girls/ women our institution has brought into practice the concept of “Women’s Cell”. Through women’s cell we aim at providing a platform where girls can attain all round development through self realization; improving communication skills, discovering hidden talents and establishing themselves as individuals.

The Context

The most important aim of education is to bring about the all round development of students. But reality is paradoxical to the above mentioned aim because the curriculum lacks holistic approach. So keeping in mind the flexibility of the curriculum, our college transacts the curricular and co-curricular activities with a humane touch so that we can ensure the enrichment of student’s personality and not see them departing from the institution with merely University degrees in hand.

To implement the above idea our institution has taken initiatives to strictly work out the various curricular and co-curricular activities. Women’s Cell is one of such activities.

Diane Mariechild once stated that

“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.”

But irony of the situation is that woman herself fails to realize her strength and in many areas of our country and our state Rajasthan, she is still treated as the inferior sex. Our society which is inevitably patriarchal in nature, has adopted all those customs and practices which reinforce the inferiority of women.

Eleanse Roosevelt has rightly said that

Page 99: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 99

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Even our institution faces many challenges when the activities of women’s cell are organized. Girls hesitate to come to the college and even if they come to the college they fail to open up owing to their shy nature; rural backdrop, family environment and many more factors.

So women’s cell aims to provide a platform wherein girls get an opportunity to come face to face with the realities. We help them to break away from the shackles of social boundations and inferiority complex.

The Practice

Empowering women means rebuilding society and nation. Education transforms a woman and she in turn transforms her surroundings.

“Woman is the builder and moulder of a nation’s destiny. Though delicate and soft as a lily, she has a heart stronger than that of man. She is the supreme inspiration for man’s onward march.” Rabindranath Tagore

So abiding to the concept of women empowerment every year our institution successfully implements the practice of women’s cell. The new session begins with the inaugural month of July. In this very month we get the girls registered in women’s cell. We even negotiate with girls to inform them about the institution, cell and many other aspects.

In the liberal month of August we organize elections for the formation of cell, which comprises of three posts i.e. President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. This is followed by an orientation lecture through which we acquaint the students about their rights, health issues, etc. It is followed by a number of competitions organized by the cell. First of all we begin with Mehndi Competition which brings out the creative sense of students and reflects their love for Indian culture.

In the educational month of September we organize Poetry Competition wherein the girls are asked to write any self-composed poem. This unveils their flights of

Page 100: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 100

imagination and gives them an opportunity to express their feelings, emotions and viewpoint in poetic manner. This is followed by Essay Competition in which we pick up any current issue to frame the topic. Composition actually enables the students to look up for the matter in books, on net, etc. This broadens their outlook on that particular topic. Towards the end of the month we enjoy seeing girls adorned in various attires as they participate in Fancy Dress Competition. Variant aspects of nature and life are reflected in their costumes.

In the festive month of October we witness Group Discussion on a topic related to women emancipation and empowerment. This activity helps to develop their speaking skills and infuse in them the spirit of participation. Next we have Song Competition which includes Solo and Duet form of singing. The students enjoy the musical environment and it becomes difficult for them to come out of the hangover of the beautiful and melodious voices of their college mates. This month concludes with Rangoli Competition which reveals the sense of creativity, designing and colours of the students. In the display of Rangoli we see fusion of traditional and modern concepts.

In the wintry month of November we have Dance Competition which comprises of Solo and Duet Dance. Students are so beautifully dressed that they look like Dancing Divas. This competition has maximum participation. Next we have Debate Competition. The topic is decided by the committee members of women’s cell according to the need of the hour. This competition brings out their logical sense and calibre to argue in self defense.

In the Holy month of December we celebrate Human Rights Day on 10th December. The students get an opportunity to know human rights in a broader perspective. We organize Poster Competition which allows the students to give a pictorial depiction of any given topic which is generally related to women.

In the 1st month of the new year, the Jovial month i.e. January we have Handicraft Exhibition in which students are required to display a piece of handicraft made by them. This helps them to exhibit their artistic creations. The last competition of the academic year is Bridal Competition. The girls dress up as beautiful brides and look like embodiments of Indian culture and tradition.

Although all the activities and competitions are successfully organized in a healthy environment but at times we have to put in a lot of efforts to encourage girls for

Page 101: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 101

more and more participation. These competitions act as wonder keys which help to open up new doors for the students to display their innate talents.

Evidence of Success

If ‘A’ is Success in life, then A is equal to X plus Y plus Z. Here X is for Goal, Y is for Resources and Z is for Hard Work and Dedication.

Success is determined by many factors. Some of these are intrinsic while others are extrinsic. The starting point of all achievements is desire. Through women’s cell we put in constant efforts to ignite the ‘desire for participation’ in girls. Although we have not set any parameter to measure the success ratio of this practice but some evidences can be enumerated to highlight the graph of success of women’s cell.

This practice has successfully transformed the latent energy in girls into kinetic energy. Enthusiastic participation in various activities and at the same time posing demands for conducting more competitions is a remarkable and noticable change over the years. Women’s cell plays a vital role in developing self confidence. It even makes them adroit by not only enhancing their cultural and dramatic skills but also the skills of LSRW (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing). We prepare them for future by bringing them face to face with the realities of life.

The results of this practice have always been encouraging and have improved positively year after year. We make the girls believe in the fact that success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage that counts.

Problems encountered and resources required

“Obstacles do not have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, go around it.”

It is not easy to grow up into a woman. She is always taught, almost bombarded, with the ideals of what she should be at every age in life. As a woman we need to develop a strong sense of self. Women cell is one such effort that boost up this essential sense of self in girls.

There are many unavoidable factors which compel the girls to remain away from the institution and such practices. The social cultural scenario, customs, eve

Page 102: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 102

teasing, growing anarchy in social environment, health issues, financial status, fear of boys, inferiority complex, hesitation, lack of self confidence, etc. are some such factors.

But with the passing time we have overcome these hurdles to a great extent because we believe and make the girls believe that ‘Kites rise highest against the wind met with it’.

Second Best practice

Title – Moulding the Youth to Transform them into Socially Responsible Citizens

Goal

“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech and life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity”

Buddha

Social work is a feeling that is larger than our own life. Serving others means serving ourselves. Higher education aims at providing academicians & literates to the nation and society, But the need of the hour is to serve humanity and work for a better nation and society. Our college aims to prepare individuals who can cater to the needs of the society. NSS is a body that develops better citizens through social service. It’s ideal sentence/ motto is “Not me but you”. This motto inspires to render selfless service in a democratic manner. NSS aims at developing virtues, spirit of nationality, social mobility and much more.

The Context

“There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed”

Noodrow T. Wilson

Page 103: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 103

Our college was established in 1996 and the practice of NSS started in the same year. When an individual reaches college he is at a very crucial stage of life where his personality is in a developing phase. If at such tender stage the spirit of social & national service is inculcated in them then it becomes permanent.

“ The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”

Mahatma Gandhi

With this noble intention at the core, NSS has been practiced since last many years, so that students are prepared to serve society and nation. The virtues of self dependence, honesty, dedication, cooperation, leadership are developed by making the students work in group. Thus NSS has a multi-dimensional perspective.

As the students belong mainly to agricultural families and all from rural background so it is not possible for them to devote much time to the college. Their social, cultural and financial backdrop is a big hurdle in connecting them to social service. They come to college for mere degrees. So, in above conditions it is a huge challenge to successfully run NSS.

The Practice

“Life’s most urgent question is what are you doing for others?”

Martin Luther King Jr.

Everyone should have a purpose in life. We all know that one person can make a difference so we can easily imagine that if every single person gives in his best then it can bring a sea change in the society.

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”

Shirley Chisolm

In order to develop qualities like, national service, patriotism, leadership etc, in students, NSS was established as a co-curricular activity in colleges. NSS leads to personality development of student. NSS provides opportunities for social and community service according to the need of the hour. This scheme inspires for social service and motivates to live for the cause of humanity.

Page 104: GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY -  · PDF fileGOVERNMENT COLLEGE MERTA CITY NAGAUR-341510 ... Location * Urban ... ∗ Boys’ hostel i. Number of hostels ii. Number of inmates

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 104

To cope up with the above mentioned goals an Advisory committee is framed. Three one day camps and one 7 day camp are organized in one particular session. The workers of NSS believe in the truth that one smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.

Many minor but important objectives are attained through these camps. Members of NSS work day and night to encourage literacy. They educate people about measures of population control and family planning. Students are motivated to grow more and more new plants so that environment is made clean and green. Rehabilitation programmes are carried out so that people are made aware of the ill effects of drinking and related health issues.

AIDS awareness campaign is organized, wherein people are given information about causes, effects and precautions/safety measures related to AIDS. ‘Valuing girls as the precious gift of god’ is one major objective which NSS volunteers impart to people. People are made aware of ill-effects of social abuses like early marriage, dowry system, sexual harassment, purdah system, female foeticide and many more such issues in various camps of NSS. One village is adopted by NSS volunteers in the nearby community. They take care of the village, give education to villagers, make them aware about health and hygiene, carry out plantation in that village. Students also look after the cleanliness of college campus. NSS students get bonus marks wherever selections are done on merit basis.

So NSS aims to prepare citizens for future. It believes in dedicating self for others. We need not wait for leaders but should march alone on the path of social service.

Evidences of Success

At the end we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received or how much money we have made. But we’ll be judged by our deeds”

I. NSS aims to prepare better citizens who believe in social values and social service. It teaches to sacrifice self for the welfare of others. It inspires to live for society and nation. The NSS volunteers fight against the social evils/ abuses.

II. There can be no set parameters to measure success. When it comes to evaluate success ratio in reference to NSS, it is not so easy. All we can do is to observe the changes taking place in the students while they are part of our institution. The mentors observe the group dynamics and manifestation of the goal in the students.

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 105

III. The participation percentage in the NSS programmes has increased to a satisfying level over the years. It is a delight to watch our students seriously involved in the humanitarian causes. Many students, both boys & girls, volunteer to be a part in social service programmes.

IV. On completion of NSS course the students realize the truth that they don’t need a college degree to serve the society but they only need to have a heart full of grace & a soul generated by love. They need to pursue the truth that there is no elevator to success and so they have to climb the steps.

Problems Encountered & Resources Required

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy”

Every social worker faces some or the other problem. When any scheme or plan is executed there are many obstacles which are to be won over.

While executing the programmes and plans of NSS the members and students come across many minor as well as major problems. The programme officers need to be efficient enough to run smoothly the two units of NSS. Experts must be invited so that students understand the value of NSS.

Students of our institution are basically from rural or semi-urban areas. So they are not well acquainted with the curricular and co-curricular activities being run in the college. They are from different background so developing a rapo with them and convincing them to be a part of co-curriciular activities like NSS, is another big challenge.

Overcoming challenges and paving new ways of success is the underlying strength of our institution. This strength acts as the driving force for the successful execution of NSS.

POST ACCREDITATIVE INITIATIVES

Govt. College Merta City was assessed and accredited in 2006. The peer team of NAAC analysed the self study report, interacted with the academic, administrative staff and students of the college. On the basis of primary and secondary data provided and gathered during the visit, the peer team laid down some recommendations to improve the infrastructure and working of the college.

Changes come from taking the initiative and following up. Simple action taken today can produce a new momentum for future. Our institution realized the fact that individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, endeavour and many such principles are key to getting a better grade for our college in the next visit of NAAC. So based on the recommendations posed by the peer team in 2006, the following initiatives have been taken:

• Teachers use innovative teaching methods like OHP, LCD, smart boards to make the teaching learning process more interactive and interesting. Number of computers in the college has increased. There are two laptops in the college. Internet facility has been developed. The college has also developed its own website.

• A research culture has been developed in the college. Three faculty members have ongoing minor research projects funded by UGC and one faculty has applied for the same. The faculty members also actively participate and present papers in national and international seminars and conferences. Four faculty members have been awarded Ph.D. in last four years. One of the members has done course work for Ph.D

NAAC‐SSR * GOVT COLLEGE MERTA CITY * 2015 124

• The vacant post of Physical instructor has been filled by Director, Physical Education who trains the students in various sports. The college team has participated in various intercollegiate tournaments of MDS University like Cricket, Athletics, Volley ball, Cross Country and Chess in the last three years. The college has also organized intercollegiate Cross Country and chess tournaments of the MDS University. Our team also received positions in these tournaments.

• The infrastructural facilities in the college have increased. Womens’ hostel is under construction from UGC budget. Sports complex (Indoor and Outdoor stadium) for the creation of facilities of Tennis, Basketball and Badminton is also under construction in the college from UGC budget. Canteen Building has been put up but it has not yet started. One room with attached toilet has also been constructed. Animal catcher has been provided on the main gate of the college. A ramp has been made to facilitate physically disabled students. The seminar hall of the college has been furnished.

• The college has sent proposals to UGC for building staff quarters, boundary wall, 6 classrooms, etc.

• Number of books in the library has increased. Books of latest edition are purchased every year. Budget for Book Bank is allocated by State Govt. However efforts are made to get budget for the same from local representatives e.g, MLA, MP etc.

• More equipments have been added to the laboratories. • Educational trips to nearby areas are organized to supplement theoretical

knowledge with practical awareness. • The college has established a Youth Development Centre. This centre

guides the students for future by conducting lectures related to career and personality development. It also makes available information regarding employment to students and provides books for competitions and career development.

• Human Rights club has also been set up in the college to make the students aware of the human rights. The Human Rights Day is observed by this club and competitions like essay, poster, slogan, etc. are also conducted.

• A Greivance redressal cell has been established to resolve the grievances and complaints of students.

• IQAC has been established for quality sustenance and enhancement. This cell coordinates with all the committees and departments and works for improving the functioning of college.

• Some other committees framed by the college after accreditation are Website committee, RTI cell, Career and Counselling Cell, etc.

Thus the college has left no stone unturned to implement the recommendations posed by NAAC. All the members of the college have put in efforts to improve the various aspects of the college like infrastructure, teaching, research, co-curricular and extension activities. But still a lot more needs to be done.
