A small institution like this cannot easily spare its faculty members for their professional development and academic pursuits without affecting the classroom teaching; however, in the greater interest of the students and faculty they are provided with complete freedom and unlimited support to undertake various academic activities and programmes organized by various departments, institutions, organizations and universities.

Best Practice – 2

...

Title of the Practice: Empowerment of Women through Quality Education.

...

Goals:-

...

The college engages in women’s empowerment through education practices with the following objectives:

→ To enable students to appreciate and understand the essential role played by women in society and the work force.

→ To understand and address through counseling both academic and psychological problems faced by the students.

→ To create a friendly and conducive learning environment for the students.

→ To assess the needs of economically challenged students and first generation learners and help them to achieve their academic goals.

→ To motivate students to perform better through prizes.

The context:-

...

We believe that education is the most important tool for women’s empowerment. Educating a woman is equivalent to educating a family, and consequently the entire nation. Women have a significant contribution in the present workforce. Even as homemakers, they play an important role in educating their children and giving them a firm moral foundation. The college acknowledges the greater responsibility associated with women’s education and makes utmost effort not only to create an environment conducive to learning for all the students, but also to equip them with moral values and skills which will support and sustain them throughout life. As women from economically weaker sections of the society confront with greater difficulties in pursuing higher education, various supports are extended to them to realize their potential and fulfill their dream of establishing themselves as valuable members of society through quality education.

The Practice:-

...

The college takes the following steps towards the empowerment of women:

...

→ Though the college is not in a position to waive off the tuition fee and the examination fee of the students, the needy ones are given financial support by waiving of the development fees. Further, they are also supported financially through contributions from some of the teachers.

→ The Students’ Welfare Cell provides support and counseling on academic and psychological matters. The students are sometimes directed to organizations providing formal therapeutic help in such cases. They are encouraged to complete their education and become self-reliant.

→ Besides this, the students regularly seek personal advice on academic and psychological matters from the teachers of their departments. The teachers frequently remain present after class hours to provide such counseling. Such intra-departmental counseling has proved to be extremely effective in improving the academic performance as well as the emotional stability of the students.

→ The teachers also lend their maximum support to students who have to support their families.

→ The college has a healthy mix of students from all communities and backgrounds that learn to co-exist and work together in harmony. This promotes a sense of national integrity.

Evidence of Success

...

The quality education imparted by the college has resulted in it becoming one of the most sought after institutions of the surrounding area for higher studies. This is reflected in the increasing number of students admitted to the college each year. Over the years, many students have benefitted from these practices and have been able to successfully complete their education as a result. Moreover, our efforts have also made it possible for many students to tackle their personal and emotional problems and rise above them to carve out their individual identity.
