Executive summary

It is said that Gautama Rishi performed penance to Surya(Sun God) and installed the idol of

Arkeshwara, the presding deity of the local Arkeshwara temple and the town was originally

called ARKAPURI. Hence the name Arkalgud came into existence. It was founded by

Krishnappa Nayaka, one of the Aigur ( Balam) chiefs in 1568 A.D. It was then captured by

kanthirava narasaraja I of Mysore in 1647 a.d. IT WAS RETAKEN SUBSEQUENTLY BY

KELADI Shivappa nayaka of ikkeri and finally in 1694 by chikkadevaraja wodeyar of mysore.

Arkalgud also known as arakalgudu is a panchayat town and is one among the eight taluks of

Hassan district in the state of Karnataka, India. It is situated 30 km from Hassan and 210 km

from Bangalore. The river hemavati forms the entire northern boundary of the taluk. River

kaveri runs through a portion of the south. It is well connected by road to many towns and the

cities of Karnataka. Holenarasipura is the nearest railway station to arkalgud taluk and the

nearest airport is in Bangalore.

This rural college came into existence in 1984 with 17 students. The classes were started in

the building of the Govt Junior college building. The college started degrees in arts and

commerce since 1984. Gradually the students‟ strength went on increasing and this year it is

486. Co- education is in existence in this college.

The need for own building was fulfilled in 1993 with the construction of a separate building

on a campus of 9 acres. Since then it continues to be an important center of higher education.

During the past thirty years the institution has developed in different aspects and has become a

boon to the students of the surrounding villages.

It is a matter of pride to mention here that this college is permanently affiliated to the

University of Mysore. The college has already submitted self study report to the NAAC. The

College offers three years degree course both in arts, commerce and management.

The institution has drawn up an action plan to impart knowledge and to enable students to

cherish their creative abilities. Our aim is to convert information into experience. The institution

is guided by the national education policies which emphasizes preparing efficient and skilled

human resources for facing up to the contemporary challenges. This provides impetus for the



nation and society‟s growth. The institution constantly reviews the trends, best practices and

standards followed by the academic institutions across the country and incorporates the best

among them with required modifications.

The cut off percentage set for admission at the entry level is 35% as we have to adhere to the

existing govt. policies of merit cum roster system for admission at UG level. We make sure that

the students from the disadvantage communities are adequately represented. There is one Ph.D.

holder, 04 M.Phil. holders and 02 faculty members have enrolled themselves for Ph.D. As a part

of faculty improvement the staff members have been attending seminars, symposia and

workshops at the state and national levels and the result has been translated in their teaching.

Staff members are always committed to follow the best practices. There is constant

encouragement for the staff to envisage new models of the best practices which enhances

quality. The faculty is following the guidelines and norms charted out by UGC and NAAC. The

institution has provided OHP, LCD projectors and CD ROMS for effective teaching and

learning. It has a well-equipped science laboratory.

To keep abreast with the times the institution has employed modern technology to skill

development and for effective and engaged learning. The library has been provided with 11026

titles covering all the branches of knowledge. The library subscribes to 01international and 22

national journals. Open access system has been introduced. The internet facility is open to all

the students during the college working hours.

The students of the college have plenty of possibilities to express themselves and nurture

their capabilities in order to become complete individuals. The college offers a platform to

students for self-expression through various clubs and forums. The institution has heritage club,

planning forum, political Science forum, sahithya vedike, women harassment cell, anti ragging

cell, Commerce and Management Forum, Bharat scouts and Guides unit, Red Cross and Red

ribbon unit, and NSS unit.

Our college is located in a rural area and the students are from rural background, most of

the students have come from economically poor and educationally backward families. For most

of the students our college is the only place where they can learn life skills, our teachers are

guiding them to prepare for the life after degree. Therefore our college plays an important role

of providing a window for the outer competitive world through various means. Our college



from the beginning realized this extra responsibility of training the students for their future. As

one can see our mission statement is therefore aimed at creating a confident and society friendly

personalities.

Curriculum to ensure that the academic programmes and Institution‟s goals and

objectives are integrated?

Since the curricula for different courses are framed by the Boards of Studies with the

approval of the Academic Council of the University, the college has to abide by and

adopt these curricula. However, the academic programmes are in line with the

institution‟s goals and objectives. The College aims to impart such knowledge as may be

necessary for the all-round development of the personality and character of students

thereby making them capable of being better employed in the highly competitive job

Curriculum to explicitly reflect the experiences of the students and cater to needs

of the dynamic employment market?

The students express their opinion on curriculum through response sheets, and oral

responses are also considered. Parents would often come to college and voice their

views. We discuss curriculum even in alumni and CDC meetings to consolidate opinions

in order to streamline the teaching process. We allow the peer groups to share their

opinion with the faculty and the principal. The institution collects feedback from the

Dept of collegiate education and the Govt. of Karnataka through circulars. The college

IQAC analyses the feedback to frame future plan.

Once the IQAC analyzes the feedback it would be discussed by the faculty, the

Students and the principal to consolidate the opinions and the same would be sent to

the Curriculum committee for consideration..

magazines where current affairs and issues of national and international importance are

highlighted. Apart from this Environmental Science and Indian constitution (human

rights) is prescribed for the students of first and second year in their curriculum.

Students have developed the habit of collecting down the points, preparing their own

papers incorporating their own ideas. And the same will be presented in the form of

debates and speeches in seminars held at different levels. Students study environment

science and Indian constitution (human rights) as it has been prescribed as one of the

subjects in the curriculum

students.

1.3.5 citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from

Stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

Basically the quality of curriculum is assessed by two criteria. One is how it can make

the student skill oriented and a socially productive asset. Second, whether his or her

performance and advancement makes the parents happy in particular and society in

general. We take into account local needs and demands while sending our curriculum

improvement proposals. We give a practical face to curriculum by taking the students to

financial institutions like Banks, Share offices, markets, Industrial units, research

centers, historical places, temples, museums etc.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment

programmes?

The institution conducts periodical tests and examination to assess the students. The

where they stand in their curricular and co-curricular activities. The slow learners will be

identified and given needed feedback. We pursue it till they join the main stream. The

institution conducts programmes under different forums and clubs for the students to see

how they excel in their activities.

model making etc. We provide a platform for students who have a flair for music and



other cultural features. The institution monitors their tastes & aptitudes and are

motivated to participate in inter college competitions held in surrounding colleges, with

the specific aim of facilitating them in their area of interest. It gives need-based inputs to

the students. Guidance and counseling will be given by the experts as it is necessary for

them. Students are instructed to read newspapers and make note of the points which are

relevant to their subject as a part of knowledge enrichment.

CRITERION II: TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrolment and Evaluation

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process?

The admission process for UG Courses follow the rules of the Govt. of

Karnataka & University of Mysore, Different dates and fee structure are intimated by

UOM before the commencement of admission.

Before the commencement of the new academic session, the prospectus is made

available to the students. All relevant information regarding the admission procedure,

infrastructure, fee & scholarships, various activities of the college, achievements of the

students in academic as well as sports and other activities is conveyed through the

prospectus.

The college has its own website from where the students can gather information

regarding the college. E-mail queries, if any, are responded promptly.

During all important functions the principal transmits the same information to the

audience.

Transparency in the Admission process

Admission to every course is conducted under the supervision of admission committees

of various courses constituted for the purpose .To ensure transparency in the admission

process for all the courses, applications are invited in advance, a merit list is prepared

strictly according to the qualifying exam and categories. The first selection and then

second selection lists are prepared and displayed in the notice board before admissions.

The faculty are always there for the help of the candidates to give information about

every course available to scrutinize, in case of any doubt.

2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex. (i) merit (ii)

common admission test conducted by state agencies and national agencies (iii)

combination of merit and entrance test or merit, entrance test and interview (iv)

any other) to various programmes of the Institution.

The institution provides general education only. Since ours is rural based government

institution admission is open to all the students irrespective of their percentage. The cut

off percentage set for admission is just pass class. College announces the age limit as

prescribed by the university.

2.1.3. Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission at entry level

for each of the programmes offered by the college and provide a comparison with

other colleges of the affiliating university within the city/district.



Ours is a government institution and rural oriented. So admission is open to all the

eligible students irrespective of their percentage. But we ascertain their aptitudes and

counsel them to go for combinations that they can manage comfortably.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and

student profiles annually? If „yes‟ what is the outcome of such an effort and how

has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

Institution has admission committee headed by the principal. The admission process

undergoes changes in accordance with the situation. The policies of the Government

and the rules and regulations change from time to time. These changes are kept in mind

during admission. The demand for some courses too undergoes changes. For instance,

in 2013-14, and 2014-15 there was an enormous demand for admission to BCom

course which necessitated the college to ask the university to increase the intake and

also prepare the selection list strictly according to merit. This change ensured that more

number of deserving students got admission.

Demand for BA and BBM courses over the last four years has almost remained

unchanged. Demand for BCom course is on the increase TREND owing to increased job

opportunities due to changing global scenario, and also there is ample scope for

Commerce Students in Towns, in Business related professions, so consequently there is

a great demand for courses like B.Com.

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled students

and ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

Differently able students are provided with ramp facility for entry and exit in the

provided with assistance from support staff. At present, the institution does not have

such students. If such students are enrolled in future, it will make necessary

arrangements according to the nature of their disability.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students‟ needs in terms of knowledge and

skills before the commencement of the programme? If „yes‟, give details on the

who are seeking admissions in the institution. The committee provides assistance to

students, by helping them to choose the appropriate course which is suitable for them

depending on their knowledge and skills. It also, provides information regarding the

future opportunities and career available in that course. The institution also supplies the

prospectus to provide students with information regarding available facilities, academic

flexibilities, rules, regulations, profile of the institution and the minimum eligibility for

such courses. After the admission process, the institution also conducts orientation

programs for freshers to confirm that the students have understood the details which

were provided at the time of admission.

2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the

knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the programme

of their choice? (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.

Bridge courses: All departments conduct bridge courses to the newcomers at the

beginning of the academic year. This prepares the students to cope up with the rigors of

the subject with confidence.

Remedial classes: Slow learners are identified and given extra coaching in the form of

Remedial classes.



In addition to the above, as per the instructions of the Department of Collegiate

Education (DCE) initiatives such as Angla, Manvathe, Naipunya Nidhi, and E-learning

E-Content which enhance students‟ learning have been implemented. .

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as

gender, inclusion, environment etc.?

The institution has constituted DISCIPLINARY Committee and women cell with

the intention of sensitizing the staff and the students on important issues like gender,

environment etc. Series of lectures were held in these cells in order to educate the girl

students. If any untoward incident takes place within the campus, head of institution and

the convener of these clubs take serious action

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

We classify the students as slow learners, moderate and advanced learners. The

advanced learners will be included in different clubs and committees in the college.

They will be given ample opportunities to excel themselves. They will be allowed to

conduct seminars, teaching the students of lower standards and other intellectual

pursuits.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on

the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at

risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically

challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.)?

Institution identifies through their performance in preceding semesters and response of

student during classes. The institution maintains profiles of each student containing their

academic progress, place of learning, areas in which they are lagging behind, economic

background, etc. Depending upon the attendance of the students, the risk of drop out

expected and the same is brought to the notice of principal. If the drop out is because of

poor learning capacity, then Special coaching classes and remedial classes will be

conducted for them. On the other hand, if it is related to weaker economical status, then

teachers will take care by paying college fees of such student provided the student is

good in all respects.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and evaluation

schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.)



The academic activities of the institution are based on the academic calendar of the

affiliating university. In the beginning of the academic year, college prepares its own

academic calendar, proposing the activities and the probable dates of different activities

like cultural, sport, NSS, NCC etc. Each department has its own time table and action

plan, containing detailed proposed activities in the department like syllabus distribution,

syllabus coverage schedule tests, student seminars and extra activites.etc.

Each and every faculty member has his/her own work diary recording his objectives and

topic plans for the specific periods which has been duly signed by the HOD and the

principal. They review the same and guide them regarding their plan of action.

Department level meetings are held twice in a month to follow the process of syllabus

coverage, practical works. These meetings ensure smooth running of the department

activities. Many issues like assignment and seminar topics for students, absentee

students, poor performing students etc are discussed and suitable action is planned. Each

department submits a quarterly report of its activities to the IQAC.

Regular tests are conducted at department level. As per the university norms, internal

assessment tests are conducted in every subject, and the students are given internal

assessment marks based on their performance in the test, attendance etc. University level

practical and theory exams are announced by the affiliating university. These exams are

conducted at the end of semester.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process?

I.Q.A.C is the planning body of the Institution. It organizes the different curricular and

co curricular activities and motivates the students to be a part of it. Whether it is

conducting seminars, arranging speeches, coordinating functions, discussions, it has to

play a role. It chalks out the action plan in the beginning of the year and sees that it

happens and reach its logical end when the academic year closes. It explores all the

possibilities in extracting positive attributes which they have inherited. They utilize the

existing infrastructure to the maximum.

2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support

structures And systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive

learning, Collaborative learning and independent learning among the students?

Recent developments in the field of higher education have brought many changes, where

the whole process has become student centric. The attention is given to the process of

making every student competitive with adequate skills to succeed in his future life. The

modern shift of focus in education is the student. The challenges of teaching are to tap

his/her potential in order to bring out positive changes in the society. So the student

participation takes precedence of teacher dominance.



The teacher should be a facilitator rather than a feeder of things. So the objectives to be

fulfilled in the student centric learning are as follows;

a) To develop Communication skills

b) To develop analyzing both academic and non academic problems

c) To maintain dignity and esteem both at self and society level

d) To develop creative thinking and decision making

e) To inculcate human value like kindness, generosity, caring and sharing.

The institution has been exploring all possible means to achieve the above said with the

available supportive scheme and infrastructure.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper?

Among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators?

The college possesses several distinctive features that contribute greatly to acquiring

knowledge, management skills, communication skills, computer skills and transform

students into lifelong learners and innovators. The faculty tries to inculcate

qualities/values and skills that would last for a life time. Commerce Forum is there in the

college which strives in nurturing the leadership and managerial skills in students. Apart

from that „Literary Forum‟ fosters the creative writing skills in students. The other

forums namely Economic forum, Political Science forum, History forum, English forum,

Sociology forum, have been formed to motivate students to come up with innovative

ideas, displaying exhibitions of world heritage and so on. The students are given

opportunities to public speaking, comparing the functions, welcoming the guests,

making stage arrangements; decorations etc. and they are given adequate encouragement

and support for carrying out these tasks. Other activities like debates, essay writing,

workshops, group discussions, field study etc. are carried out to promote critical

thinking among students.

2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for

effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning - resources from National

Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on

Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open

educational resources, mobile education, etc.

“Knowledge is powerful than a sword”. The class room is no longer a place

where knowledge flows from teachers to students. Modern education assumes

rightly that the student has inherent skill and abilities and he can build his

knowledge on his own with the help of a teacher, who plays the role of a

facilitator rather than a teacher. The institution has ample scope for self-learning

and student centric learning. Students make power point presentations during of

BEST PRACTICE - 1

NSS ANNUAL CAMPS IN BACKWARD RURAL AREAS

TO TEACH THE IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE AND

SANITATION

1. Slogan:

KEEP ENVIRONMENT CLEAN

2. OVERVIEW OF GOAL

The institution intends to impart humanitarian and social responsibility into the minds of

students and the community around. There are many villages which are not aware of the

benefits of hygiene and sanitation. The paramount goal behind selection of backward rural areas

for NSS annual camps is to convince about the health benefits associated with hygiene and

sanitation.

3. THE CONTEXT

It is very important to maintain hygiene and proper sanitation in order to sustain good health. In

backward rural areas the concept has been neglected. Most of the villages do not have proper

sanitation, As a result, mosquitoes and other parasites will take birth and become a very

important cause for various health hazards. This was noticed by NSS unit and teachers of the

college and thought of conducting NSS annual camps especially in backward villages to teach

villagers about the importance of hygiene and proper sanitation in order to sustain good health.

4. THE PRACTICE

The process of NSS annual camp are organized in the following way.

1. The selection of NSS volunteers for annual camp and getting the permission from their

parents.

2. Selection of backward villages where there is no hygiene and proper sanitation through

visiting different villages.

3. Informing the leaders of the village about the camp and collecting opinions.

4. Creation of cordial relationship between NSS Unit and villagers.

5. Organizing different lectures by the doctors and other experts.



6. Sanitation work will be carried by NSS volunteers through involvement of villagers.

7. Teaching the importance of hygiene through dramas.

5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS

The college has conducted NSS annual camps in many backward villages and found

involvement of villagers in maintaining clean environment around their houses. NSS volunteers

teach the evils contaminated water, air and environment by practical examples of the village.

Even after completion of NSS annual camp, volunteers visit once in a month for twelve months.

Hence, this practice of the college has brought recognizable change in attitude of villagers

relating to the concept of hygiene.

Apart from this, various lectures, relating to day-to-day life, will be given by the experts.

Generally, lectures such as Rain harvesting, usage of natural fertilizers for reaping, ways to keep

good environment, healthy foods, and benefits available from the Government, yoga for good

health, etc.

The information of annual camps conducted in different villages for last five years is given

below.

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCE REQUIRED

At the outset it was difficult to convince the villagers as they had very strong belief that

“Disease was the result of sin they committed, it was the punishment given by God”. However,

after many examples were being given, it was convinced to the villagers that the dirty

environment resulted in diseases. Some villagers expressed that they had to earn livelihood

everyday and they had no time to maintain cleanliness. The volunteers of NSS have convinced

the villagers saying “Because of dirty environment you pay half of your earnings for medical

charges”. Never-the-less, there was good response.

BEST PRACTICE -2

CONTINUOUS INFRASTRUCTURAL UPGRADATION FOR ACADEMIC

EXCELLENCE AND EMPLOYABILITY

1. Slogan

Infrastructural Up gradation

2. Goal

Higher education institutions should have international standards and they must be able to equip

the learners to face the challenges of the modern world. Education should develop the

knowledge level of students and also make them employable. Our college makes all efforts to

provide students with exposure to the tremendous changes round the world in terms of

technology, knowledge management. Our goal is to make our students aware of the

technological developments in the academia and to equip the students to use the same tools to

achieve academic excellence and employability in terms of skills and knowledge.

3. The Context

The Government First Grade College Arkalgud is located in a rural area with a sizeable percent

of SC/ST population. Arkalgud is one of the taluk headquarters of Hassan District in Karnataka

state.The students of the Taluk did not have opportunities to know of or use advanced tools

employed by the academia. Until a few years ago, they were not familiar with the kind of

facilities that have been provided to them now from this college. The college is proud in being



able to bring together all required infrastructural facilities for the sustained up gradation of the

academic standards of our students.

4. The Practice

The faculty members, students and alumni all worked together to upgrade the infrastructure of

the college with a view to improve academic excellence and employability of the students. The

college started functioning in 1984. The college has succeeded in making available the

following resources:

a. Beautifully structured concrete college building,

b. All classes are equipped with latest green board and white board.

c. Free high speed Wi-Fi broadband connectivity,

d. EDUSAT Facility,

e. Majority of the students are provided with scholarships,

f. We have computers for students in a ratio of 1: 20

g. The college has NSS unit in the campus,

h. Our general library is regularly updated and now has around 26000 books, number of

journals and dailies,

i. The college has a fully furnished Health and Fitness Centre and spacious play ground and

equipments for weightlifting and body building.

j. Our administrative section is completely automated with networking and intranet.

k. The college has a well designed website. We ensure e-boiled purified drinking water facility

in the college campus,

l. We have received grants from the Government of Karnataka for the construction of

Auditorium

m. The College has formed Student Welfare and Career Guidance and Placement Cell,

Scholarship cell, Equal Opportunity cell, besides Sports club, and Heritage club.

The college is keen in providing all these services to the students for developing employability

and academic excellence. Faculty members monitor, proper use of all the services, and most of

the maintenance of the services is done by a team consisting of the teachers and the students.

These infrastructural facilities are crucial to the exposure received by our students.



5. Evidence of Success

Infrastructural up gradation has ensured academic excellence and employability of our students

in the recent years. The following are a few of the instances:

1. Enrolment ratio for higher education (especially for BCom) has improved tremendously in

the recent years.

2. We have produced a large number of academic professionals like teachers from School level

to University level, and other professionals who are employed in leading MNCs in and out of

India.

3. Our students are able to use the infrastructure available here. It opens a new avenue for self

actualization, and also employment.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The college faces a few problems in the effective utilization of our infrastructural resources as

detailed below:

1. We are not provided with sufficient funds for infrastructural mobilization as per the proposals

submitted, and it slows down the pace of our development.

2. The Government of Karnataka does not provide any fund for maintenance of the resources,

and the maintenance becomes a heavy burden to the college development fund. A joint team of

faculty members and students perform necessary maintenance of the resources with the

assistance of college development fund.

3. Our major deficiency is that we do not have qualified technical assistants and mechanics for

the operation and maintenance of the available resources.
