PREFACE
It gives me immense pleasure to submit the Self Study Report of
Mankachar College, Mankachar to the National Assessment & Accreditation
Council (NAAC), Bangalore for the 2nd Cycle of Accreditation in conformity of
LOI requirements for further quality improvement of the college. Mankachar
College situated on the Indo-Bangla Border and in the most rural backward area is
a pioneer institution of higher studies for both Arts and Science of Mankachar
region in the district of Dhubri, Assam
Mankachar College was established on 16th August 1971 with a mission to
impart higher education among the students of the locality mostly from Minority
Communities and to strive for an all round development of the students. This
institute of pioneering higher education is recognized by the UGC under section
2(f) and 12(B) of UGC Acts 1956 on 5th September, 2003. The College has been
consistently maintaining high academic standards and good institutional social
responsibilities. The college is permanently affiliated to the Gauhati University,
Assam. Mankachar College had gone for the NAAC assessment and accreditated
with B Grade in Feb/2006. The IQAC was entrusted to carry out and implement
the post accreditation initiatives and responsibilities of the college. The IQAC has
been acting effectively in compliance with the recommendations of the Peer
Team, in implementing the diverse quality enhancing measures during the Post-
accreditation period and brought the institution to this stage for 2nd Cycle of
Assessment and Accreditation by the NAAC. The Self Study Report is prepared
according to the instructions laid down by NAAC. The documents have been
prepared by the IQAC with utmost honesty and dedication and to the best of their
knowledge with the records available in the institution. This SSR is the outcome
of the collective and continuous efforts of the stakeholders of the college. I take
this privilege to appreciate the whole hearted involvement and sincere,
collaborative and continuous effort of the entire team.
Now we are waiting for the scrutiny of the SSR and the inspection of the
college by the NAAC Peer Team that will guide and determine the future course
of actions to be initiated by the college.
Hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing soon from you on your
decision on Peer Team Visit for Inspection.

POST-ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES
Imparting Higher Education to the Poor and Women folk of the socially
and economically backward area for their intellectual, ethical, moral and physical
upliftment and to provide exposure to modern technology is something that the
Mankachar College has always aimed at to achieve. Since its first cycle of
assessment by NAAC in 2006, the college has been putting untiring efforts for
continuous qualitative growth in its academic, infrastructure and all other relevant
areas. A brief account of Post-Accreditation Initiatives is given below.
As far as the academic scenario of the college is concerned, there has been
continuous improvement in the performance of the students. During Cycle – 1
assessment and accreditation, the Peer Team recommended to initiate courses in
innovative areas like Travel and Tourism Management, Home Science,
Handicrafts, Computer Science, Agricultural Science etc. Accordingly, the
college has started a few new subjects like Education and certificate / diploma
courses on computer application and has submitted proposal to the Government
for opening up of subjects like Bio-Technology and Computer Science. Study
Centre of Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University (KKHSOU) has been
started since 2013 which offers UG and other diploma and certificate courses.
However, subjects like Travel and Tourism Management, Home Science,
Handicrafts, Agricultural Science etc. have not been introduced due to paucity of
funds and locational disadvantage.
As per the recommendation of the Peer Team, research activities have
been improved a lot among the faculty members of the College. The College has
constituted a Research Cell which along with IQAC encourages and motivates the
faculty members and the students to take up research oriented activities.Three
faculty members have been awarded Ph. D. Degree and another nine faculty
members have been enrolled for Ph. D. in different universities in the post
accreditation period. Besides, two faculty members have received UGC grants for
Minor Research Projects and one faculty member has been awarded fellowship
from the UGC under FDP. The college also encourages the faculty members to go
for inter-disciplinary research. A number of faculty members have presented
research papers in International and National Seminars, Workshops and
Conferences. A few faculty members have also published their research article in
National and International journals and in edited volumes. A good number of
students have also been contributing their writings in the Annual College
Magazine, Wall Magazine and Literary events organized in the college.
According to the recommendation of the Peer Team regarding computer
literacy, the College has constructed a computer laboratory with adequate number
of computers and related equipments and is organizing computer literacy
programmes among the teaching and non-teaching staff and short duration
courses for the students.
Keeping in mind the recommendation of the Peer Team, the College
Library has been computerized and internet facility has been provided therein.
The library automation with SOUL is under process. Besides, a digital library
with digital classroom is under construction with grants received from the
Government of Assam.
As per the recommendation of the Peer Team, the College has improved
central service facilities for all the stakeholders.
The Peer Team’s recommendation on the improvement of games and
sports facilities for the students has been implemented by the College by adding
various sports materials/gears with grants received from UGC and the
Government of Assam. The College has also constructed a basket ball court with
flood lighting facility with UGC grants.
Although the Peer Team recommended for opening a Women Study Cell,
this recommendation is yet to be implemented and the College is planning to
introduce the same very soon.
As per the recommendation of the Peer Team, a monthly health check-up
centre has been opened in the College premises and made an arrangement with
Mankachar CHC to provide health care services to the students and staff of the
College as and when required.
The Peer Team recommended for the construction of girls and boys
hostels. Accordingly, a 100 bedded girls’ hostel is under construction with central
government grants under MSDP.
The College has increased its total teaching days to more than 180 days in
a year as recommended by the Peer Team.
The Peer Team also suggested for the opening of NSS and NCC Units in
the College. Following this suggestion, the College has opened an NSS Unit and
also applied for opening of NCC unit. The NSS unit along with the Extension Cell
takes up various extension activities and Community Developmental Programmes
in an outside the college. Programmes like Environmental Awareness, Tree
Plantation, Cleanliness, Health & Hygiene, Road Safety, Women Empowerment,
and Voters’ Awareness etc. are organized from time to time. Both faculty
members and students actively involved in those programmes. Besides, the
College has also opened Scouts and Guides.
As recommended by the Peer Team, the College is yet to establish a book
bank for the poor students.
Further, as per the recommendation of the Peer Team, the College has
established a Gymnasium with modern equipments with funds received from the
UGC.
The college has made notable improvement in the infrastructural ground in
the Post Accreditation Period. A number of classrooms have been added. All the
classrooms are equipped with fixed White Boards. A Computer Laboratory,
Administrative Building with Conference Hall, Girls’ Common Room, Pucca
Cycle Stand etc. have been constructed.
The Central Library of the college has been enriched with the addition of
new books, journals and periodicals every year. Reprography and Internet with
printing facilities are made available in the Central Library. The college is also
planning to subscribe journals, INFLIBNET-N-LIST, and other online teaching-
learning materials.
As far as ICT is concerned, the college has made continuous efforts to
provide ICT facilities. For example almost all the classrooms, Central Library,
Administrative Building and Computer Laboratory are under CCTV Surveillance
System. A moving CCTV Camera is installed to keep surveillance on the college
campus. Besides, a burglary wall Alarm System is also installed in the Computer
Laboratory to make it more secure. All the departments of the Arts Stream are
provided with Laptops and the Science Stream is provided with a Desktop
Computer. Computers are also made available in the college office to perform
day-to-day office works. Two numbers of Digital Xerox have also been installed
in the Administrative Building. The college has also procured a Data-Card Printer
to print ID Cards of staff and students.
The college has purchased LCD Projectors and most of the classrooms
have options to use the Audio-Visual Aids. Some faculty members use the
facilities as and when required. An interactive Smart Board has also been installed
in the Conference Room where the faculties use the facilities to teach special
topics effectively. Broadband internet facility is also made available in the
Administrative Building and the Central Library. The teaching and the non-
teaching staff can access internet facility for Academic, Administrative and
Research purposes. Sometimes students are also allowed to access internet facility
in special circumstances. However, the college is planning to extend internet
facility to all the departments and also to the students through Central Library.
The college has purchased Sound System which is used in various programmes of
the college.
Moreover, the facilities in the college have witnessed manifold increase
since the first cycle of assessment in 2006.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mankachar College was established in 1971 with a vision to impart higher
education to the poor students and women folk of the socially and economically
backward area. The College was accredited with grade ‘B’ in 2006. The
institution has been trying its level best to fulfill the cherished dreams of its
founders and aspirations of the local people and is gearing up for the second cycle
of NAAC Assessment and Accreditation. This Self Study Report (SSR) is in
conformity with the NAAC guidelines and its untiring initiatives to uphold the
vision, mission and pursuit for excellence. This SSR is a part of the mission of the
College for continuous quality improvement and self-evaluation.
The College has its own mechanism of quality improvement and
sustenance. There are a number of Cells and Committees playing vital role
pertaining to teaching-learning and evaluation. The IQAC which is a powerful
body, discusses, analyses, plans and makes proposals on the various aspects of
overall quality improvement and sustenance of the College. The departments are
provided with autonomy to design their class allotment as per the general routine,
distribution of papers/topics, holding of sessional examinations, class tests,
project works, seminars etc. The faculty members of each department take part in
various workshops, seminars, short-term courses etc. to keep themselves updated
in the academic arena. To integrate cross-cutting issues such as gender, climate
change etc., various initiatives have been taken by the College to enlighten the
stakeholders on these issues from time to time. The College always focuses on
some pertinent issues like environment, women empowerment, road safety, health
& hygiene, public awareness on different social issues etc. To achieve these, the
College has established Women Cell, Grievance Redressal Cell, NSS Wing, Red
Ribbon Club apart from various other Cells. Students’ feedback is collected
regularly and appropriate measures are adopted accordingly. Mankachar College
is a degree college affiliated to Gauhati University (GU). However, the College is
running with Higher Secondary course (HS Arts) as per Assam Government’s
regulation. The College has a Study Centre of Krishna Kanta Handiqui State
Open University (KKHSOU) which offers UG courses and also a number of
diploma and certificate courses. Besides, the College also runs a certificate course
on computer education.
The College aims at all-round development of the students. It provides
opportunities to the students to take part in various co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities along with imparting quality education. The College has a
distinctive mechanism to ensure transparency in admission and evaluation of the
students. Students being the prime stakeholders are kept informed about all the
policies and programmes from time to time. The Prospectus of the College,
college Website and Notice Board provide the necessary information to the
stakeholders. To develop critical thinking and creativity among the students, the
College provides various opportunities to them such as seminar presentation,
writing field reports, writing in the Wall Magazine, contributing in the Annual
Magazine, taking part in different literary competitions etc. The teaching and non-
teaching staffs are encouraged to take part in various faculty development
programmes, seminars, conferences, workshops etc. to enhance efficiency and
update their knowledge base. Each department of Arts stream is provided with a
Laptop and the Science Stream is provided with a Desktop Computer. The faculty
members can access free internet facility which is available in the administrative
building and also in the central library. The College closely monitors the
performance of the students through a well defined mechanism.
The College puts emphasis on research and extension activities which is
regarded as an important component in the field of higher education. The IQAC
and the Research Cell encourages and motivates the faculty members for taking
up research works. Three faculty members have been awarded Ph.D and another
five number of faculty members have enrolled themselves for Ph.D in different
Universities. Two faculty members are awarded MRP and one faculty member
has been awarded FDP by UGC (NERO). The faculty members of the College
have been presenting research papers in different international and national
seminars, workshops and conferences and also publishing articles/research papers
in various journals and books. An Annual Magazine is published by the College
where the faculty members and students contribute with their writings. The
College has organized one national level seminar in 2014 sponsored by UGC. The
College also encourages the students to participate and take up various research
oriented activities. The College takes up various extension activities which are
crucial for the growth of the College. The NSS wing and the Extension Service
Cell of the College take up various extension activities like environmental
awareness programme, cleanliness drives, special camps, street drama for traffic
awareness, disaster management etc. The College has adopted a village, Mahanta
Para, where it organizes various community development programmes. A good
number of extension activities and outreach programmes are done in and outside
the College campus by the NSS wing and the Extension Service Cell with the
involvement of faculty members and students. Celebrations of World
Environment Day, Birth Days of important personalities etc. are also arranged.
The College makes continuous efforts to maintain and provide adequate
infrastructural facilities keeping in view the growing enrolment of students. The
College is continuously adding infrastructure for different curricular and
co-curricular activities. The College has 16 classrooms in two different blocks.
The classrooms are allotted for both Arts and Science streams. As far as
technology is concerned, the College has a Smart Board in the conference hall,
LCD projectors and a computer laboratory which the faculty members can use in
the teaching-learning process. The College has a central library with good number
of books, journals and periodicals and internet facility. Every year the College is
adding new textbooks and reference books according to the growing academic
needs. The College provides games and sports facilities. The institution has a
basket ball court and small playground, however, as far as outdoor games and
sports like cricket, football, etc. are concerned, the College has an understanding
with JMHS School, Mankachar to use its playground when required.
The institution has been continuously making efforts to develop adequate
support mechanism for its students. The College offers help to the economically
backward students from the College’s Poor Fund. The students are always
encouraged and inspired to participate in the various extension activities
organized by NSS wing, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities where they
can build their leadership quality and also develop their personalities.
As far as the plans and policies of the institution are concerned, the
Principal convenes meetings with the faculty members along with academic
council and IQAC to discuss plans and policies for maintaining healthy academic
environment. The Principal then places the same in the Governing Body (GB)
meeting for approval. The plans and policies are guided by the UGC rules,
instruction from the education department of the Govt. of Assam and the
affiliating university for administrative and academic activities. The principal
constitutes different committees and sub-committees for executing the plans and
projects. The principal provides necessary autonomy to the faculties and other
stakeholder as far as working environment and execution of plans and policies are
concerned and, thus, maintain a healthy relationship. The IQAC of the College
plays a vital role in maintaining the quality assurance processes. It remains well
informed about the academic and various other activities of the College. It also
keeps the GB informed about the same from time to time. The IQAC makes plans
and continuous efforts for the quality improvement of the different developmental
projects and activities of the College. The IQAC is instrumental in the quality
enhancing and sustaining measures that have been designed by the College.
The College puts emphasis to keep the campus clean and green. The NSS
wing and the Extension Cell of the College organize various programmes like
programmes on environmental awareness, cleanliness drives, tree plantation, etc.
The College has been organizing various developmental activities in the adopted
village Mahanta Para, which is one of the best practices of the College. The NSS
wing of the College visits the adopted village from time to time and organizes
various awareness and cultural programmes with specific aims and objectives.
Flood is a common phenomenon of the region. The College has another best
practice of helping the flood affected people of the area. Whenever flood occurs,
the institution provides the victims with food, cloth and necessary medicines with
financial contribution from teaching and non-teaching staff of the College, which
is an inspiring activity for the students as well as the people of the locality. This
activity enhances peace and harmony among all and to become responsible
towards the society.
Being the pioneer higher educational institute, the College has been facing
various challenges. The College has limited subjects to offer and limited scope of
creating new subjects/departments due to restrictive policies of the government of
Assam. Besides, the paucity of funds restricts the College to introduce new
subjects on its own expenditures. Although some of the faculty members are
involved in evaluation activities related to the external examinations conducted by
GU, the faculty members are yet to be members of the curriculum framing
committee of GU. The College does not have enough land for gardening, waste
disposal, playground, etc. The College has no auditorium which is a major
problem for organizing various events and programmes. Due to geographical
backwardness, the College is facing challenges in establishing linkages with
different organizations/institutions and industrial units. The College gets students
with weak base as most of the good students migrate to other parts of the state as
well as the country because of limited number of subjects offered by the College
and also absence of career based vocational courses.
Despite all the challenges, the College has opportunities in a number of
areas. The College has enough scope for establishing linkage for consultancy
services. With small investment, the College has the opportunity to open some
career based vocational courses like spoken English, beautician course, fashion
designing, food processing, mobile phone repairing and short duration computer
courses. The College has NSS wing and there is enough scope for opening NCC
units. Feedback of all stakeholders could be used more profitably for the
development of the College.

a. Annual Prospectus: The institution publishes the annual prospectus
which contains detailed information about the courses including process of
admission, academic calendar and the facilities provided by the College.
The academic, administrative and financial aspects regarding the
admission process are clearly mentioned in the prospectus. A copy of
prospectus is circulated among the Higher Secondary level School.

national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test or merit,
entrance test and interview (iv) any other) to various programmes of
the Institution.
During the process of admission, the College adopts a strict merit based
system where meritorious students are given first priority.
The College constitutes an Admission Committee to scrutinize and
analyse the profile of the students for different courses. They prepare the
lists of probable students for each course.
The reservation policy of the Central Govt. as well as Govt. of Assam is

and mostly minority communities of the area, the College finds it difficult
to follow a strict admission policy in terms of marks and other criteria. A
large number of students are first generation learners, therefore, under
such a situation, the College takes responsibility to spread the light of
education among these underprivileged communities. Hence, comparison
with the colleges of the district Head quarter, such as B.N. College, is not
justified.

the concerned departments in order to maintain the standard of the Major
courses.

After scrutinizing the forms of students and students’ profile, the available
seats that are vacant in particular categories are filled up by admitting
other students.
Seats for Donors’ families have been introduced.
Because of these steps, the process has become more transparent and there
has been a huge increase in the student intake every year.
The College is going to introduce schemes like free studentship, discount
in admission fee, personal scholarship, departmental support etc. which
are expected to result in a decrease in the dropout rate.

following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission
policy of the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect
the National commitment to diversity and inclusion
* SC/ST
* OBC
* Women

ST, OBC/MOBC, Minority communities are provided admission in the
College.
The list of students belonging to the economically weaker section is
prepared by the Admission Committee and on the basis of requests, fee
concession in admission is given to those needy students. Besides, free

students.
Financial assistance is provided to the poor and meritorious students from
the ‘Poor Fund’ of the College.
The Founder Quota is going to be introduced from 2014-15 to show
respect to the contribution of those founder members and under this
Quota, family members of the founders are provided studentship.

the College follows certain strategies.
The students who opt for Major courses find it difficult to cope with the
subjects as there is a huge gap between their H.S. courses and the degree
subjects. The teachers of the departments give extra time and effort to the
students to orient them in the new subjects.
Teachers keep regular track of students’ progress by organizing classroom
discussions and by entrusting them with home assignments, group
discussions, classroom presentations to judge their acquired knowledge.
The students are prepared to make seminar presentations under the
guidance of teachers. This helps them to imbibe the skill of writing
research papers and also making presentations before their teachers and

with the Semester System, this practice has been changed and now the
college organises two sessional exams along with evaluative assessments
from different assignments.
If a student fails to appear, due to his involvement in other extra-curricular
activities, in any of the tests and assignments, the College organises Re-
sessional to accommodate them within the evaluation system.
The students have to have an attendance of 75% and above to qualify for
appearing in the Final Examination. Thus, the College has introduced the
practice of Non-Collegiate, Dis-Collegiate for the students to ascertain
their attendance in the class.

various journals.
Weakness:
a) To teach Economics to a very diverse students community.
b) College and hence, the department gets students with a very weak base.
c) Limitations of classrooms for major classes.
d) Very poor language skill of the students.
e) Limited number of standard text books, reference books and journals in
the Departmental library as well as in the Central library.
Opportunity:

have a bright future as there are many areas of further studies or jobs all
over India and abroad. The syllabus is also at par to sit for competitive
examinations for Govt. jobs and also jobs in the corporate sector.
b) There is an opportunity of establishing linkage with other institutions /
departments and industrial units.
Challenges:
a) To produce good results with satisfactory merit from a handful of students
most of whom come from economically weaker family and first
generation learners.
b) To equip students to face competition for higher education and job market.
c) Lack of funds for extension activities allocated to department.
Future Plan:
a) To emphasize on the applied side of economics by undertaking survey
works with active participation of the students.
b) Undertake research work/project and publication by teachers at
international and national levels.
c) Preparation to publish a quarterly Wall Magazine with writings from
teachers and students of the department.
d) Publication of a Quarterly National Journal with ISSN.
e) Organise International, National and State Level Seminars.

university, government or other agencies :
There are National Scholarship, State merit scholarship, Post-Metric
Scholarship for the students belonging to ST, SC, OBC & MOBC
Categories and scholarship for the minor students provided by the
Government. The College also provides financial assistance to the poor
students from the Poor Fund.
32. Details on student enrichment programmes (special lectures /
workshops /seminar) with external experts : N/A
33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning :
Various methods are being applied with a view to improving the learning
process of the students. In this regard first of all,
Inside of the classroom interaction is being conducted to gear up the all
round activities and improvement of the students apart from course topics.
Most necessarily, by incorporating the map and thereafter, displaying
them in the classes, an attempt has been made clearly the exact location of
the globe.
In addition to home assignments by providing personal books, providing
books from departmental library, doing remedial classes, checking out the
writing skills and encouraging them to be eased with the teachers by
creating two-ways of free discussion, we the faculty members in this way
try our best to quench their thirst minimum way.
34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and
Extension activities :
With the faculties of the department of the History keep our selves busy
involving in an around the periphery of the College as per the onus and
trusted us by various committees formed by the Principal.
Engage the faculty members in co-curricular activities and other social
responsibility oriented programmes organised by the NSS Unit, Extension
Service Cell of the College.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strength:
The faculties of our department adhere to dedication, sincerity and
punctuality. In addition to that, we have good cooperation and
understanding amongst us which enable us in making prompt and hasty
decisions.
Weakness: The students we have most of them, frankly speaking, come from
vernacular medium with weak academic background. As most of the
student belongs to weak academic background therefore, it is difficult to
produce quality students from amongst them.
Opportunity:
Mankachar College is located on the Indo-Bangla border and it is also a
important historical place of Assam. It was gate way for the foreign
invader like the Mughals and the British. Two important historical spots –
Mirjumla’s Mazar Sharif (Graveyard) and Kamakhya Temple located at
Mankachar. Tourist from different part of Assam as well as from other
parts of India use to visit those places for Pilgrims’ purposes. There are
also some other historical important places are there nearby Mankachar.
So, that the department has the opportunity to open Tourism Department
in the College with the help of Assam State Tourism Department.
There are so many historical remains neighbouring to Mankachar. So, the
department can take initiative to bring these ancient remains in to light in
collaboration with Archeological Survey of India stationed at Ambari,
Guwahati.
Threats / Challenges:
Because of emergence of new subjects to cop-up with the present days’
need, some subject specially History becomes obsolete and outdated
subjects. Henceforth, in view of the changed situation, to make History
interesting and attractive to the new generation, way of History writing
ought to be altered according to the need of the hour without distorting the
facts.
Future Plan:
Organise Intra-College, National and if possible International Seminars,
Workshop, Quiz & Essay Writing competition on History is planning to be
organise to make History a popular subject at grass root level.
