SA VIDYA JA VIMUKTAYE
It gives immense pleasure to opt for self appraisal of Mathakaragola
College; an experience to be a part of the preparation and presentation of Self-
Study Report for the purpose of assessment and accreditation by NAAC. During
the period of preparation of this document, we have maintained the sincerity,
honesty and commitment of a fresher without any reservation.
Transparency has been maintained in undertaking this self analysis
exercise, on behalf of all the stakeholders for their alma mater, in reading out the
strength, weakness and future perspectives of Mathakaragola College. It is a
rewarding leap to know ourselves better in an analytical way. We have deep seated
conviction that we could assess our past understandings, efforts and achievements
along with present standing and future possibilities without impression of prejudice
towards strengths and loopholes.
Talking of the preparatory process was satisfying and ample rewarding till
reaching at a genuine document of a growing institution. We have tapped all the
available opportunities up to diagnose efficiency and effectiveness of our
mechanism in realization of aims and objectives. We are assured of the fact that
our motivated maneuver would explicitly elicit the factual status of the college.
From the important findings, foremost is the identification of avenues those
require immediate redressal and those need long term treatment. Hopefully, this
would guide us in earmarking our policy and in revision of our goal to fulfill
individual, societal, national and global needs with regard to academic excellence,
need based quality learning and in responding positively to employment market.
Keeping one institution to self analysis and to invite a peer team for
impartial assessment is no less a valiant step that shows preparedness to understand
oneself thoroughly and to adhere to commitment to undertake any hardship in
preparation of a self study report as neatly as possible. The college placed its
interest and trust on the Core Committee with one Co-coordinator for the task long
before we set the ball on move. To aid and assist the Core Committee, there was a
General Committee entrusted with, literally speaking, the peripheral works like
collection of factual information, data, statistics and other minutes from within and
out-side the establishment so as to substantiate the criterion wise inputs. The Core
Committee with Coordinator as facilitator rendered services on analysis,
compilation, editing and final preparation of the document. Principal as head of the
institution and patron author of the SSR document kept himself busy in over all
supervision through leadership, guidance and support in all respects.
As per UGC guidelines, the four year span 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and
2014-15 is the coverage period for purpose of study , review and assessment of
performance for accreditation . The preparatory committee whenever felt it
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 3 of 126
relevant and necessary, incorporated facts from the current session and from the
sessions beyond period of review, with a simple view to keep the flow intact. Facts
so presented on SSR are self-explanatory and analytical. In order to ensure
objective is preserved, the collections of facts and figures are uniform, consistent,
relevant and the presentation is simple and straight.
Analyzing the facts criterion wise is both narrative and summative dealing
with present status, future plan, feasibilities and limitations – all these are
presented in organized, precise and concise manner.
Mathakaragola College, Mathakaragola, the very name suggests and
represents the interest and identity of the common man who conceived of a
college long back in the year 1987 with junior college and 1989 with a degree
college . Again it confirms the fact that the common public is its first and foremost
stakeholder in disguise. Starting with 74 no of students and 08 no of faculty as a
co-education college, it has now 639 no students and 31 no of faculty with
Honours teaching facility in Arts and Commerce courses affiliated to Utkal
University in UG level. Besides all, it has in campus accommodation for
Matahakaragola Junior College.
The Institution came under Govt. Grant-in-aid fold in the year 1994 and
from that time it has never seemed looking behind in any manner or direction.
Located adjacent to NH-53 it is approachable to all in all weather conditions.
Management of college, known as Governing Body believes more on
participatory deliverance than authoritative governance. My experience in this
college as a member of faculty and subsequently as principal is almost as long as
the age of the college. Understandably, college has never allowed any negligence
that could affect quality learning and maintenance of standard of teaching.
Academic excellence is exemplary and self evident from the result sheet, from the
hike in progression ratio, from minimization of drop out cases and loudly speaking
from the places and positions held by students in final degree examinations.
The College started with a premises of 4 rooms, and has acquired a land
mass of 11.63 acres and with cooperation and support of all stakeholders including
local MLA, M.P and Govt. It has at present 15 no of class rooms, 05 laboratories,
Library with reading room facilities both for faculty and students separately and all
other minimum facilities to support academic, sports, cultural, co-curricular
activities round the year.
In the age of rapid technological advancement, Mathakaragola College is
an institution imparting higher education on and only for core subjects still proudly
grows up steadily. We understand our responsibilities to adopt visions to ensure
inflow of technical knowledge into campus life. The college has been working hard
to bring in a revolutionary change in field of total computerization and in e-
governance. Opening up of undergraduate studies on Honours in Odia , Pol. Sc.,
Philosophy, Education, Management and Finance are some of the critical areas
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 4 of 126
under serious consideration for earliest implementation by the beginning of coming
session.
In the field of work efficiency among both teaching and non-teaching staff
just and adequate steps are being taken up continuously by the internal mechanism
and the Governing Body. It is proposed to introduce special training camps in
collaboration with HRD agencies.
It is pertinent to mention here that all functions in college are subject to
RTI and Citizen’s Chatter and for that reason office functionaries are held under
responsibility and accountability guidelines for their act of omission and
commission.
The college is capable of adopting diverse projects, fields and achieves
goals as suitable from time to time. The committed services of faculty, the
dedication of non-teaching staff, the sportive student’s participation, the zealous
cooperation of Governing Body, the constructive feed-back from alumni and
parent guardians have immensely inspired us for the go-ahead in assessment
process.
The Institution is committed to lift up the teaching-learning standard, to
convert the goals and objectives into reality, to pay back the stakeholders for their
dedication and dreams by providing quality education, personality development
and employment opportunities to all students from all branches of studies.
To achieve the goal of quality teaching, learning and evaluating keeping the
need basis requirement of the students in view, the college conducts regular career
counseling which facilitates recruitment of students.
While presenting this Self Study Report it is my pleasure to extend our
sincere thanks and words of appreciation to all the employees, the students, the
General Committee, the Core Committee, the Coordinator, the Governing Body
without whose tireless cooperation, preparation and presentation of this report
would have never been possible.

D. Criteria-Wise Inputs
CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and describe
how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other
stakeholders.
Vision

and progressive educational institution where students get ample scope to
manifest their potentialities to become ideal citizens with total commitment

the students. To ensure and enhance the quality of our students by
nourishing their aptitudes and providing better opportunities for their
growth.

To discover the potential of the students and to encourage them to
achieve new heights.

Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 18 of 126
College is committed to the declared vision, mission and long
cherished objectives as have been framed and formulated by intensive care
and concern. In order to make the students, teachers, staff and stakeholders
conversant and well aware, appropriate steps like publication on college
calendar, walling on main building, timely interaction meetings and
discussions are in active place and shape.
1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective
implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and
substantiate through specific example(s).
The curriculum followed by the college is decided by Utkal
University from time to time. As the college has no role in framing of the
same, the college understands the relevance utility scope of the curriculum
to its best intention. In some respects role of college is suggestive and
contributory one.
The implementation process comprehensively involves monthly
tests, doubt clearing classes, staff council meetings, academic council
meetings, meeting for appraisal of students, maintenance of lesson plan
and progress report, periodic physical verification by Academic Bursar and
Principal.
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 scope in this regard is limited as the college is dependent on the
policy of the University and the government. Despite all limitations, the
management takes incentive measures by deputing the teaching faculty to
seminars organized by University, by other institutions and encourages
perusal of orientation courses, refresher courses and other short term
courses which eventually help the faculty to translate the curriculum and
improve teaching practice beyond the boundary.
1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution
for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the Curriculum
provided by the affiliating University or other statutory agency.
College is watchful enough in easy deputation of the faculty and in
supporting them to avail Academic leave / duty leave as and when
necessary and in their absence necessary steps are being taken to make up
their classes through adjustment by other faculty members of the
department. In event of receiving any training, additional degree or awards
the college felicitates the faculty members as per their performance. Latest
teaching learning tools has been provided to the departments to deliver the
courses through unit test, half yearly and annual tests, group discussion and
interactive classes.
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 19 of 126
1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such
as industry, research bodies and the university in effective

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design
and implementation of its quality policy and plans?
Management i.e Governing Body is established under Societies
Registration Act 1860 which is responsible and accountable for its function
and discharge of duties as per the rules and stipulations framed by the
government time to time. The management members (copy enclosed)
discharge their functional responsibilities through the Principal of the
college as the Ex-officio Secretary of the body.
In its regular sittings and through resolutions on circulation discuss,
debate on the matters presented by the Principal or any other matter that
comes up during the course of the meeting. Governing Body as the
Principal stakeholder of the college looks in to the general administration,
financial implications and overall infrastructural development.
It has control over the employees through appointment, regularization
of service, sanction of different kinds of leave and through maintenance of
CCR.
The college has a Principal duly approved by the government. His
function as such is multidimensional. He acts as the team leader of the
college administration, as the institutional representative of the department
of higher education and the key officer between college and the governing
body. In this process he is the main source of feedback collection and the
principal executive for implementation of the same.
The Principal is the Ex-Officio President/Chairman of all committees
/ bodies / societies/ constituted with regard to quality policy and plans. His
valuable guidance, administrative and financial assistance influences the
total mechanism working on quality and development. He convenes
meetings of all bodies to guide, govern, and assess their timely
performances and guide their visions for future. The recommendations
taken in the meeting are submitted to the Managing Committee and the
Management arrives at suitable decisions for implementation. It is evident
that the governing body, the Principal and the faculty as well as students
function as a well knit body.
The faculties, figuratively speaking, are the arms of the governing
body and principal and are fully used as the think tank for innovative
quality plans. The faculties are ex-officio Vice-President of all bodies are
mandatory members of the staff council.
6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring?
the policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated
mission
formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation
of the same into the institutional strategic plan
Interaction with stakeholders
Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis,
research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders
Reinforcing the culture of excellence
Champion organizational change
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 70 of 126
The institution collects feedback from students, parent guardian,
alumni, district level consultant (DLC) and other quarters before arriving at
formulation of any policy plan. The objectives and priorities are fixed and
re-fixed with maximum flexibility considering the need and feasibility. The
policy statement and planning is made easy accessible to all its stakeholders
through meeting, notice and publication in calendar.
The leadership is collective and co-operative. It is responsible and
accountable to the act of omission and commission.
The governing body having members from both teaching and non-
teaching staff of the college arrives at appropriate, judicious and legitimate
decisions for all-round development of the college. The personal interaction
of the Principal with various stakeholders such as the faculty, the non-
teaching staff, the students, the guardians contribute immensely towards
policy and planning with open access system.
6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and
evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective
implementation and improvement from time to time?
The institution has been adopting participatory managerial
principles to ensure progress through the different practices: The flow of
information is always from lower level to higher level. Information
received from student feedback and information available in self-appraisal
forms of teachers help the authorities to plan properly. Annual Parent-
Teachers Meet strengthens the bond of parents with the institution. Annual
Alumni Meet facilitates the hold of the alumni for their contribution to the
growth of the college. In statutory bodies such as Governing body and
Academic Council, experts from various fields are members and they
contribute towards the development of the institution. Every department
takes the views of alumni, subject experts and an industrialist for the
overall development. Thereby a link with the public is established.
Officers in Charge and Coordinators of each level of the system
consolidate recommendations after discussion with members and present
them to the apex bodies. The feasibility of the proposed changes is
discussed in the presence of the respective coordinators and if found
acceptable, the changes are implemented. The Principal is the competent
authority to give finishing touch to each plan proposal.
At the outset of each academic year, a self-mapping exercise is
conducted for the staff. This exercise exposes the strengths and challenges
of each of the personnel to draw a potential map, which gives insight to the
management, for the distribution of responsibilities. The head of the
institution appoints the conveners for various committees and further
nominates the members of committees in consultation with the respective
conveners based on the potential map. The committees are well guided
about their roles and responsibilities by the principal. The faculties are
informed of their duties and responsibilities by the head of the institution in
the scheduled staff meetings and departmental briefings and through
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 71 of 126
publication in college calendar. The administrative staff is given a job map
along with the roles and responsibilities.
6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by the
top management?
The Principal being the de-facto and de-jure institutional head leads
the academic and the administrative mechanism to new heights. He
shoulders the responsibility and accountability of success in all the
parameters of the predefined mission components. He is appropriately
empowered and has required autonomy with functional flexibility to give
concrete shape to leadership. He identifies the individual ability and
efficiency of each faculty to exhibit those potentialities in to a great team.
The Principal guides and motivates with personal examples to monitor the
faculty. He is a bridge between management and faculty / non-teaching
staff.
The college has open arms to invite and welcome top officials from
department of higher education from time to time. We have long list of
such officers visiting our campus and office to enlighten the faculty
members. To mention a few, District Level Consultant, Regional Director
of Education, Registrar, Utkal University, Controller of Examinations,
Programme Coordinator, NSS, Director, Sports council and Vice-
Chancellors have encouraged and strengthened the leadership mechanism
by their august interactions.
6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?
The college grooms leadership at various levels. The Principal of
the college is the fountain source of leadership and leadership breeding for
a healthy working culture. From top to bottom, all involved in work process
experience freedom without pressure from above. Regular orientation
sessions are conducted to enhance leadership qualities and capabilities of
all assigned with coordinating roles. Through the Principal of the college,
the management involves the staff members in various activities related to
the development of the colleges.
In order to inculcate leadership quality among the students
working hand in hand with the faculty, different schemes like AIDS
Awareness Campaign, Blood Donation Camp, Village Outreach
Programmes, World Environment Day, World Anti-Tobacco Day, technical
Competitions, Independence / Republic Day celebration, Awareness on
Morals and Virtues, Career Guidance Programmes, Career Guidance Fairs,
Free health checkup for Weaker Sections etc. are organized. Thus all get
ample scope to take responsibility and refrain from the complaining culture.
6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational
autonomy to the departments / units of the institution and work
towards decentralized governance system?
A college is a single administrative unit with single governing body
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 72 of 126
and centralizes administrative mechanism having no scope for departmental
autonomy. However the departments enjoy some freedom in preparing
methods of approach to curriculum, in organizing respective practical
classes, conducting their seminars, holding monthly or unit tests and in
developing own library and evaluation process. The administrative
authority is delegated in a small measure to Vice-Presidents of different
boards and to the bursars who eventually exercise authority in day to day
business on behalf of the principal. These delegated officials are
responsible and accountable to the principal for their conduct of business.
These officers enjoy autonomy as far as their decisions do not contravene
the norms and rules of college or the government.
6.1.8 Does the college promote a culture of participative management? If
‘yes’, indicate the levels of participative management.
The general administration of the college openly adheres to a

resources the college is growing with. The policy is practical and down to
earth. It is developed through dialogue with all stakeholders in general and
the student representatives in particular. The challenge it provides is
shouldered and solved by the management with the IQAC as the
mechanism. So far the review of the plan is concerned it is taken annually
again in dialogue with all stakeholders, staff council and the governing

d. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective functioning
of the IQAC?
The college has an Alumni Association which lends to strengthen the
stake-holder relationship. Participates in decision making process and
fosters college development. Alumni Association has come forwarded
to assist both in Career Counseling activities and quality improvement
of students and by bridging the relationship between industries and the
institute.
e. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from different
constituents of the institution?
The IQAC acts as a catalyst in undertaking various programmes by
different departments. The staffs are motivated to undertake qualitative
and innovative activities in their respective fields. This has mainly been
achieved by conducting Seminars in the institute at a regular interval.
Sometimes Academicians are invited for special classes.
6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality
assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If ‘yes’, give
details on its operationalisation.
Yes, the institution has an integrated framework for Quality
Assurance of the academic and administrative activities.The academic
functions and related administrative matters have been vastly streamlined
ever since the functional committees are formed. The feedback on teachers
obtained from students has helped to analyze and evaluate the performance
of the teachers. The evaluation has led to remedial measures to improve the
performance of teachers through SDP and to encourage teachers who have
been efficient and full of initiative. The self-appraisal mechanism started
for teachers, together with the student feedback has been very useful for the
Principal to arrive at an overall performance report of the teacher.
Arrangements of faculty development programmes, skill development
programmes for students and non teaching staff, continuous up-gradation of
laboratory facilities, library and office automation, enhancement of student
support services (Carrier guidance, counseling, mentorship, encouragement
to culture and sports activities) has brought a revolutionary changes in the
institute.
To decentralize the work principal has assigned duties to Academic
Bursar, Accounts Bursar, Administrative Bursar, Vice-Presidents of
different associations, so that the different works can be accomplished
smoothly.
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 84 of 126
6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective
implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, give
details enumerating its impact.
Yes, the institution provides training to its staff for effective
implementation of the quality assurance procedures. The institution always
makes it sure that the decisions based on the findings of the IQAC are fully
adhered to. The academic as well as the administrative working is further
smoothened by conducting time to time training sessions for the teaching
and non-teaching staff of the college. Small workshops over the weekends,
in the form of interactive sessions, have helped the staff of the institution
work in a better and more promising way. Teachers are advised to monitor
the workflow of the competitive colleges and thereby to improve their inter
personnel skills.
6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other external
review of the academic provisions? If ‘yes’, how are the outcomes used
to improve the institutional activities?
Yes, the institution undertakes Academic Audit and other external
review of the academic provisions by Academic Bursars. Such audits
encourage and, in some cases, force the institution to self-assess their
quality assurance arrangements and identify areas seeking improvements to
avoid public scrutiny with fears of negative public audit report and media
scrutiny. The strategy used in the college has been effective in engaging
academic staff in quality and also contributing in positive changes. Such
changes have resulted in internal self-reviews undertaken in preparation for
the external quality audit.
6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the
requirements of the relevant external quality assurance
agencies/regulatory authorities?
The Internal Quality Assurance mechanism is aligned with the
requirements of external quality assurance. In some areas like arrangement
for feedback responses from students, parents and other stakeholders on
quality- related institutional processes, organization of intra institutional
workshops, seminars on quality related themes and promotion of quality
circles, development and application of some quality
benchmarks/parameters for the various academic and administrative
activities of the institute etc are more or less aligned with the requirements
of the relevant external assurance agencies.
However, we need to strive hard to improve upon in some other
areas like development and maintenance of institutional database through
Management Information System (MIS) for the purpose of maintaining
/enhancing the institutional quality, dissemination of information on the
various quality parameters of higher education etc.
Manual for Self-Study - Mathakaragola College, Utkal University, Odisha Page 85 of 126
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 institutional mechanism for the continuous review of
teaching learning is a simple but effective one. The faculty directly taking
the classes, the HOD of the concerned department, the Academic Bursar,
the Academic Committee, the ministerial staff facilitating academic
discharges are integrated who are directly responsible and accountable to
the Principal.
The Head of the institution ensures an academic integrity by
keeping an eye on the regular progress of classes, listening to the
grievances of the students and faculty and trying to solve such problems. In
executing these activities, head of the departments take feed back of the
faculty members of their concern department in regular intervals, who, in
turn, communicate the same to the principal.
In need of major changes in the system of management or in
implementation of any innovative measure, the meeting of the Staff
Council is summoned to arrive at workable and efficient results. After
thorough analysis of the feedback forms, principal exercises prerogative
powers and suggests appropriate training to be imparted to the faculty
members.
6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies,
mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external
stakeholders?
The general procedure adopted to communicate its quality
assurance polices, mechanisms and outcomes to various internal and
external stakeholders is as detailed below .
