EXECUTIVE SUMMARY- SWOC ANALYSIS OF

GOVERNMENT COLLEGE MANANTHAVADY

Government College Mananthavady started functioning with two Pre-degree batches in a

temporary building attached to the St. Sebastian’s Church, Thonichal on 1st September 1981.

Having completed 30 years of valuable educational service, the college now offers degree

programmes in Commerce, English Literature, Development Economics and Electronics and

a PG programme in Commerce. The College aims to mould the student community hailing

mostly from the marginalized and weaker sections of the society into better individuals, and

guide them to contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding the values of

secularism, national integration and social commitment. The primary objective of the

institution is to enable the students to cope with the demands of the contemporary global

scenario through effective transaction of the curricular and co-curricular aspects. Academic

excellence, personality development and social orientation are our guiding principles.

We strive to develop a strong foundation of ethical principles in our students and make

them academically excellent to acquire global competencies with the help of technology, so

that they can substantially contribute to national development. The college ranks first in terms

of the result of B.A and B. Com in the academic year 2011-12 among Government Colleges

affiliated to Kannur University.

The strength of the institution is its qualified and committed faculty members, industrious

administrative staff, state of the art infrastructure, well equipped college library with

INFLIBNET facility, interactive smart classes, high speed Wi-Fi internet access 24/7,

EDUSAT facility, availability of computers in a student ratio of 1:4, Digital Language Lab,

UGC Network Resource Centre, Centralized Computing Facility, facilities for scanning,

printing and copying, the various programmes and cells funded by UGC and state

government, good academic ambience and the enthusiastic students. The college has always

been in the frontline in fulfilling its social objectives in terms of educational attainments and

producing quality individuals.

The weak points of our institution are the occasional shortage of permanent teachers for

certain subjects. We do not have sufficient number of PG programmes and it weakens our

efforts to fulfill our academic commitment to the community. Besides, the college is not a

research centre as it did not have postgraduate programmes until 2012.

The opportunities ahead of us are many. We have been submitting proposals for more

academic programmes, and we have received vocal assurance from the Hon. Minister for

Education Sri. Abdu Rub for the sanction of more courses from the academic year 2013-14.

We also hope to elicit more funding from different agencies for infrastructural enhancement

and academic projects. We strive to sustain our student support activities and improve the

quality of our services.

The challenges ahead of us are diverse. We need to assure better financial assistance for

the successful accomplishment of our future projects. Continuous enhancement of

infrastructure, proper maintenance, improving the quality of academic services, extension,

research activities and student support programmes are a few of the challenges ahead.

The college is confident that it can sustain and improve its services to the students and the

general public in the coming years.

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

“Education for total liberation”

The College aims to mould the student community hailing mostly from the marginalized and weaker sections of the society into better individuals, and guide them to contribute constructively towards national goals by upholding the values of secularism, national integration and social commitment. We have a vision that the students coming out of our campus should be internally enlightened, emotionally sound and practically efficient. The college aims to mould leaders who are intellectually competent, morally upright, psychologically integrated, physically healthy and acceptable to the society, who will champion the cause of justice, truth and peace and who are open to further growth.

Mission

Our mission is to impart quality education and exposure to the students and equip them to cope with the latest requirements, through innovative techniques and practices. We are convinced that proper education is the best resort to uplift the youth in the rural and tribal areas, and we are committed to facilitate meaningful education for our students.

Objectives

“Enriching the Youth for Integral Transformation”

We strive to materialize our vision which has three basic dimensions.

1. Academic excellence: Enabling the students to cope with the demands of the contemporary global scenario through effective transaction of the curricular and co-curricular aspects is the

primary objective of the institution. For this purpose, various measures have been taken like regular enrichment of the library, subscription to academic journals and magazines, state of the art classrooms, standard infrastructure and faculty development programmes.

2. Personality development: The college is focused on the all-round development of the students’ personality through proper education and exposure. Through the numerous academic and co- curricular activities organized in the college, students develop leadership skill, team spirit, communication skills and collective responsibility.

3. Social orientation: Education with a social face is the hallmark of this college, and to enhance community participation, the students of the college have adopted a tribal colony- Pathrachal Adivasi Colony in Nallornadu Village- where we extend our helping hands to the less privileged by educating the tribal dropouts who are denied of the greater privileges of life.

The vision, mission and objectives of the college are displayed in noticeable areas in the campus so that the entire student community and faculty members are reminded of the great principles the college stands for. They are also provided to the students through the academic calendar prepared every year so that everyone can know more about the institution and its ideals.

OUR EMBLEM

Rationale of the Emblem

The emblem, together with the motto “Education for Total Liberation” is symbolic of the ideals the college stands for. The open book represents the reception and assimilation of knowledge which liberates the individual from the debilitating shackles of ignorance and incapacity. But the growth and evolution of the individual through education is not seen as an end in itself. The training, both academic and co- curricular, seeks to foster in the students a keen awareness of their social

role as well-integrated members of their communities armed with the skills to contribute positively to change.

The symbols take a new dimension of meaning in connection with the people in the backward area. The wisdom from learning dispels the darkness of ignorance like a lighted candle and it signifies that the learning one receives at the institution is not to be kept to oneself but to be disseminated to the community.

History of the college

A Government college in Mananthavady had been a long cherished dream of the marginalised people of the hill area of Mananthavady Taluk of Wayanad District. A Sponsoring Committee- North Wayanad Education Society- was formed for this purpose. Thus the dream came true when Government College Mananthavady started functioning with two Pre-degree batches (III and IV Groups) with 80 students in each batch, in a temporary building attached to the St. Sebastian’s Church, Thonichal on 1st September 1981. The college was affiliated to the University of Calicut, which is now affiliated to Kannur University.

Sri. E.K. Nayanar, the then Chief Minister of Kerala inaugurated the college on 4 th October 1981, at the function presided over by Sri. Baby John, the then Minister for Education.

In 1983, the college was shifted to the new building with 8 rooms constructed with the support of the Sponsoring Committee. Another building with 5 rooms was also constructed under N.R.E.P. Scheme.

The college was upgraded by introducing B.Com degree course in 1991-92. B.A. English was started in 1993-94, B.A. Development Economics in 1998-99 and B.Sc. Electronics in 1999-2000. The college has started M.Com in this academic year (2012-13) with specialization in Financial Management.

Sri. P.J. Joseph, the then Minister for Education, inaugurated the new permanent multi-storied college building on 27th February 1999, and the college was shifted to the permanent building.

This college is located in a hillock near Payod in Edavaka Panchayat, Mananthavady Taluk, Wayanad District, just 200 meters away from Mananthavady Kalpetta state highway.

Now the college with 4 major departments (with 1 post graduate and 4 under graduate programmes) stands as an oasis of learning for hundreds of students who come out of the Higher Secondary Schools around the vast area of Wayanad district. This institution has ample scope for great expansion and development which is expected in due course.

The demand for admission is very high in comparison with the demand in other institutions affiliated to the university. Therefore the college strives to start more PG and UG programmes in the campus, and proposals are forwarded to the university and Government of Kerala every year. To cater to the high demand for higher education in the district, the college hosts a study centre of the School of Distance Education of Kannur University.

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?

The institution is sensitive towards the needs of the differently–abled students. Their applications for admission are considered and such students have been given admission in the previous years as per rules. They are assisted to obtain the special favour of the additional 25 % of marks they secured for the written examinations as per the rules of Kannur University. Necessary arrangements like the assistance of scribes during examinations are made available to them.

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 process.

Yes. The profiles of the students are collected and small tests are conducted at the beginning of every academic programme and their skills and drawbacks are assessed. Students are subjected to various methods of evaluations like vocal responses, individual responses and written tests. Based on their performance, students are identified as slow, average and

advanced learners. Scholar Support Programme is implemented in the college to support the slow learners with the assistance of the Government of Kerala besides the Remedial Coaching Classes provided under the UGC funded programme. The morale of the slow learners is boosted by counselling sessions, remedial classes and intensive interactive sessions before and after the regular class hours. Bridge courses are conducted for a week at the class level to get the students acquainted with the programmes. An orientation program is conducted at the Department level to educate all the enrolled students about the programme and the facilities available in the institution. They are also given guidance and are motivated by providing additional learning material such as text books, audio and video material and question papers of previous examinations.

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.

A bridge course is conducted at the beginning of every academic year to equip the students to face the programme and the courses with confidence. Scholar Support Programme conducted with the assistance of the Department of Collegiate Education identifies weak students and their needs and strives to cater to those requirements in a systematic way. The UGC funded remedial teaching classes also have been useful in improving the knowledge level of the students. Peer study groups also help to bridge the knowledge divide among our students.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.

This institution has a well functioning Student Counseling Centre with professional counselors for providing counseling service to both the staff and students.

3.6 Extension Activities and Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR)

3.6.1 How does the institution promote institution-neighborhood-community network and student engagement, contributing to good citizenship, service orientation and holistic development of students?

The institution is situated in the neighborhood of tribal colonies. This population is mainly experiencing issues from alcoholic addiction, poor infrastructure and poor education. The institution organizes programmes to alleviate their problems by the active involvement of NSS and NCC units of the college. The students of our college actively participate in these programmes and help them. These activities help the students to practice good citizenship and give them service orientation. The Bhoomithrasena is also actively involved in the popularization of greenery in and around the campus.

3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students’ involvement in various social movements / activities which promote citizenship roles?

The college extends all possible support to the students to involve in social movements that promote citizenship roles. The NSS, NCC and Bhoomitrasena units of the college work with a focus on promoting citizenship roles in students. The staff advisor and the coordinators of the respective units track the involvement of the students. The attendance of the students in these activities is registered without any fail and grace marks are provided at the final stage of their graduation. The students are also encouraged to participate in National Integration Camps of NSS. There election of college union which is conducted in a democratic manner enhances students’ political consciousness and social participation.

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the overall performance and quality of the institution?

The feedback received from alumni, PTA, industries, higher education institutions and the feedback on the different programmes undertaken by the college provide adequate material for the assessment of the quality of the performance of the institution.

3.6.4 How does the institution plan and organize its extension and outreach programmes? Providing the budgetary details for last four years, list the major extension and outreach programmes and their impact on the overall development of students.

The outreach programmes of the college are undertaken by the different cells operating in the college. However, the college does not undertake activities that require heavy financial implications for want of funds. Blood donation campaigns, tribal dropout education programmes, road safety awareness programmes, distribution of handbooks on career advancement to the students of SDE of Kannur University are a few of the outreach programmes undertaken by the institution. These activities make our students more oriented towards society; develop their personality and responsible citizenship.

3.6.5 How does the institution promote the participation of students and faculty in extension activities including participation in NSS, NCC, YRC and other National/ International agencies?

The college encourages the faculty and students to participate in extension activities. The college council elects coordinators and officers for the various fractions functioning in the college. The faculty members are awarded with grade points for the service they render, which is beneficial for the performance based appraisal for their career based on the 6 th pay commission guidelines. The students successfully completing the service are awarded with grace marks at the end of their course. This mark is beneficial for admission to higher studies and for job placements.

3.6.6 Give details on social surveys, research or extension work (if any) undertaken by the college to ensure social justice and empower students from under-privileged and vulnerable sections of society?

The NSS unit of the college has undertaken a survey among educated tribal people to understand their problems and challenges, and it has also been recorded as a documentary. The college also conducts socio-economic surveys to know the students in detail. Such surveys are used as the basis for the award of scholarships and travel allowances. The Students Welfare Cell headed by Mrs. JiniKuriakose, Assistant Professor of Commerce also uses the data obtained through these surveys to identify needy students. Students are advised to contribute magnanimously to relieve the needy students and it promotes social justice and concern for the downtrodden. Tribal students of the neighbouring colony are given tuition by the NSS volunteers of our college which also promotes social responsibility.

3.6.7 Reflecting on objectives and expected outcomes of the extension activities organized by the institution, comment on how they complement students’ academic learning experience and

specify the values and skills inculcated.

The virtue of blood donation is driven home through blood donation campaigns, and the college periodically conducts this programme in association with the blood bank operating in the Government Hospital Mananthavady. Tribal education programmes undertaken by students promote the aptitude for teaching and serving the society. Road safety campaigns develop the social commitment of the students. Free circulation of career booklets inculcate friendly attitude among the students to the student communities outside the campus.

3.6.8 How does the institution ensure the involvement of the community in its reach out activities and contribute to the community development? Detail on the initiatives of the institution that encourage community participation in its activities?

The college convenes meetings with local self government bodies. The meetings discuss various community related topics that must be addressed by the college.

The institution maintains good rapport with political and social activists and organizations, and assures their involvement in the programmes undertaken by the college.

3.6.9 Give details on the constructive relationships forged (if any) with other institutions of the locality for working on various outreach and extension activities.

We maintain healthy relation with other colleges and institutions in and around Mananthavady. The college allows these institutions to convene NSS camps and other activities in college campus up on their request.

The college council and staff council meet regularly, and the principal updates the faculty members on the policies and programmes of the government and the Department of Collegiate Education. The staff council formulates action plans for the implementation of these policies and programmes and ensures that the college has the required know how for the implementation of these policies and programmes. Facilities like Wi-Fi internet connectivity, interactive smart classes, Digital Language Lab, Centalized Computing facility, UGC Network Resource Centre, sophisticated labs for Physics and Electronics, sufficient number of printers, scanners, copiers, intercom facility, a well designed website, annually updated general library and department libraries are a few of the physical facilities for obtaing the mission of the institution. In addition to these, the college assures clean environment, lush green compound and hosts a Health and Fitness Centre with outdoor and indoor sports facilities. The college ensures scholarships for all, and provides student amenities at subsidized rates and thereby supports hassle free academic engagement. NCC helps to develop leadership qualities among the students.

The democratically elected college union also has its share in developing the skill in coordination and synergistic interactions among the students of this college. The various cells operating in the college also join hands to fulfill the mission of the institution. The college also assures the following:

Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plans.

The responsibilities of taking appropriate steps to ensure qualitative teaching and preparing the students to face the challenges of the modern world lie with the heads of the departments. They also manage their departmental work with the cooperation and assistance of their staff members and maintain departmental stock registers and other documents. Committees comprising teachers from different departments coordinate and conduct various activities and events in the college. The administration is decentralized for all academic activities.

CRITERIA VII:

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

The college campus has developed a plastic free culture in the sense that students and faculty use only recyclable plastic above 50 microns. We do not have plastic waste in the campus beyond a meager amount. We have been constant in our efforts to green the campus, and have formed a Bhoomitra sena club to foster the culture of eco friendliness. We preserve unique varieties of rice particular to Wayanad in our heritage museum to transmit the sense of urgency and commitment to the biodiversity and heritage of Wayanad and Kerala. We plant trees in an around the college campus with the help of NSS, NCC and bhoomitra sena club. All these cells make their contribution in greening the campus.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

Energy conservation

The college has a lot of electrical equipments which require regular power supply. To reduce our consumption of electricity, we have done away with bulbs and heaters in the campus and have resorted to CFL lights. We have the culture of using energy in a thrifty manner that all the unnecessary connections are disconnected after the class hours and during holidays. Our office monitors that no lights, fans or air conditioners work during off hours and thus we reduce our electricity consumption. Besides, the college plans to harvest solar energy for the functioning of the college and has submitted proposal to the government and the Department of Collegiate Education for funding for the same.

Efforts for Carbon neutrality Ours is a zero carbon emission campus as we do not use refrigerators, air conditioners and other carbon emitting equipments beyond the permitted scale and point.

PlantationThe college does not have sufficient land to be set apart for plantation. But to generate a culture of love for agriculture, the college takes initiative to engage students in cultivation of paddy in agreement with some well wishers of the institution. Besides, the college preserves varieties of rice seeds to sensitize students about the need to preserve biodiversity and the purity of nature.

Hazardous waste managementThe college does not generate any hazardous waste at all.

e-waste management The college has only started to feel the issue of e-waste, and currently we manage the issue by arranging the distributors themselves to take back our irreparable electronic commodities to be recycled or processed professionally.

BEST PRACTICE -1

1. Title of the Practice

Continuous Infrastructural Upgradation for Academic Excellence and Employability

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 and socio-ecological consciousness. 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

Government College Mananthavady is located in a hilly and rural area with a sizeable percent of tribal population. Wayanad is the only district in Kerala which is not connected by Railway. It is situated 2000 feet above sea-level, and nearly 70 percent of the population here are tribal people (adivasis) without proper education. Besides, 62% of our students are girls.

Our college is the only government college in North Wayanad and Mananthavady Taluk, and it has the mission of transforming the young generation through quality higher education. The students of the district 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 upgradation of the academic standards of our students.

4. The Practice

The faculty members, students, PTA and alumni all worked together to upgrade the infrastructure of the college with a view to improve academic excellence and employability of the students. When the college started functioning in 1981, the classes were held in a small chapel associated with St. Sebastian’s Church, Thonichal, and it was shifted to the building constructed by the sponsoring committee in 1983, and then to the present building in 1998. The college has succeeded in making available the following resources:

a. Beautifully structured concrete college building

b. All classes are equipped with interactive smart boards and projectors.

c. Audio-visual seminar hall with interactive board.

d. Free high speed Wi-Fi broadband connectivity

e. EDUSAT Facility

f. INFLIBNET Facility

g. All the students are provided with scholarships

h. We have computers for students in a ratio of 1: 4

i. All departments have laptop and desktop computers, printers, scanners, copiers and intercom facility.

j. We have air-conditioned Digital Language Lab with20 computers, UGC Network Resource Centre with 17 computers, centralized computing facility with 40 computers and labs for Electronics and Physics with sufficient modern equipments.

k. The college has NSS, NCC and Bhoomitra sena club in the campus.

l. Our general library is regularly updated and now has around 17000 books and a number of journals.

m. The college has a fully furnished Health and Fitness Centre and spacious play ground and equipments for weightlifting, power lifting, archery, and body building.

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

o. The college has a well designed website and a Heritage Museum which provides information to the researchers and the public.

p. We ensure e-boiled purified drinking water facility in every nook and corner.

q. We have a fully furnished Ladies Hostel and Principal’s Quarters and an Open air auditorium. The Men’s Hostel is under construction.

r. We have received funding for the construction of a library block and an auditorium.

s. We have formed cells like C-JOST, Career Guidance and Placement Cell, Scholarship cell, Equal Opportunity cell, Centre for Distance Education, Student welfare Cell besides sports club, nature club, tourism club, entrepreneurial club, dance club, symphony orchestra and staff club.

t. We have a professional still camera and a movie camera which are used for documentation and short film making by the students.

The college is keen in providing all these services to the students for developing employability and academic excellence. Faculty members monitor the proper use of all 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, and the college offers these services to the distance education students as well when required. We have also proposed for funding to acquire additional infrastructure to assure parity with international campuses.

5. Evidence of Success

Infrastructural upgradation has ensured academic excellence and employability of our students in the recent years. The following are a few of the instances:

1. Our college ranks no. 1 in terms of the results of BA and B.Com in the academic year 2011-12 among government colleges affiliated to Kannur University, and is no.3 among all the colleges affiliated to Kannur University.

2. Our former student Kumari Jayalakshmi who belongs to Scheduled Tribes is now the Minister for Scheduled Tribes, Youth Affairs, Museum and Zoo in the Government of Kerala.

3. Our higher education turnover has improved tremendously in the recent years.

4. 25% of our faculty members are the former students of this college.

5. We have produced a large number of academic professionals like teachers from college level to school level, and other professionals who are employed in leading MNCs in and out of India.

6. Our students are able to use the infrastructure available here, and produce short films and documentaries. It opens a new avenue for self actualization, and also employment.

7. Our students represent the university archery team for the last many years. Our students also have proved themselves in weightlifting, power lifting, wrestling and

body building in the state level. Our college occupies a top position in sports in terms of the number of our students and their achievements.

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. We occasionally face a scarcity of permanent faculty members as the college is located in a remote area, and it debilitates the optimum utilization of our resources.

3. The Government of Kerala does not provide any fund for maintenance of the resources, and the maintenance becomes a heavy burden to the college PTA. A joint team of faculty members and students perform necessary maintenance of the resources with the assistance of PTA, though it has only a nominal capital.

4. Our major deficiency is that we do not have qualified technical assistants and mechanics for the operation and maintenance of the available resources. Our requests for the sanction of posts are not favourably considered by the government so far.

7. Notes

Any institution planning to upgrade its infrastructural resources should take in to consideration the locale of the institution, the nature of representation of the communities the students hail from, and the academic requirements of the institution. There should be efforts to bring parity in terms of standards of international institutions. The facilities should be accessible to the students so that their academic excellence and employability are enhanced.

BEST PRACTICE-2

1. Title of the Practice

Get Enrolled, Get Scholarship

2. Goal

The college strives to provide financial assistance to all its students eliciting funds from all possible sources. We intend to make the academic programmes of this institution more attractive by facilitating all students to receive one scholarship or other. We also aim at reducing the drop out rate of students just because of financial constraints with this initiative. As most of the scholarships are based on merit, the students are motivated to sustain and improve their academic standard. Attracting meritorious students, sustaining their performance and increasing their competence are the major benefits we aim at through this practice.

3. The Context

Government College Mananthavady is located in a hilly and rural area with a sizeable percent of tribal population. Wayanad is a backward district which recently has witnessed hundreds of farmer suicides due to bankruptcy and failure of agriculture. It is situated 2000 feet above sea-level, and nearly 70 percent of the population here are tribal people (adivasis) without proper education and employment. Besides, 62% of our students are girls.

Our college is the only government college in North Wayanad and Mananthavady taluk, and it has the mission of uplifting the young generation of Wayanad through quality higher education. As most of our students hail from financially poor background, any financial assistance is a sine qua non for the completion of the programmes they are enrolled in. It is in this context that Government College Mananthavady strives to assure all the possible scholarships for all our students.

4. The Practice Government College Mananthavady had been striving to provide all its students with

scholarships in the recent past. We have succeeded in our effort by providing scholarships to 100% students in the year 2011-12.Different types of scholarship and free ship schemes introduced by central and state governments are made available to the students on time by the institution. The following are the main scholarships and free ships disbursed among the students.

1) UGC Stipend2) Central sector scholarship 3) Suvarna jubilee merit scholarship4) Post metric Scholarship5) State merit scholarship6) Muslim Girls scholarship7) Higher Education Scholarship8) Acquire scholarship9) Coffee Board Scholarship10) Sitaram Jintal Scholarship11) Post-Graduate Indira Gandhi Scholarship for Single Girl Child

The college conducts an orientation programme on the different scholarships available to all the freshers at the beginning of every academic year. The college has appointed a faculty coordinator to monitor the timely submission, verification and processing of scholarship applications. Apart from this, conveners are appointed in each major department assisted by an administrative staff for assuring that all eligible students receive scholarships timely. The college collects information of the students’ family annual income at the beginning of the academic year. Students are advised to open zero balance accounts in nationalized banks for the easy transfer of scholarship amounts. The entire scheme is conducted in a transparent manner. We were able to provide scholarships to all our students in the academic year 2011-12 and it is a unique highlight of our college.

5. Evidence of Success

The college has achieved its target by providing all the enrolled students with scholarships in the academic year 2011-12. The scheme was instrumental in retaining a number of potential dropouts in the campus and in assuring their successful completion of the academic programmes. The concerted efforts of the faculty members and administrative staff have proved result by improving the standard in academic areas as well as sports and arts through the scholarship scheme. It has promoted the self esteem of the students and has made them more conscious of the need to sustain their performance. It has also become a major factor in attracting meritorious and deserving students to the campus for various programmes. As we were able to provide scholarship to all our students, there was also a corresponding improvement in the academic performance which catapulted the college to the top position in terms of the results of

BA and B. Com in the last academic year, which shows that students respond positively to the support extended to them by the institution.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Though the college achieved its target by providing scholarships for all, a few problems are there which are worth mention:

1. A lag is observed in switching over from the 11th plan period to the 12th plan period in the allocation of funds and scholarships which may adversely affect the timely distribution of scholarships.

2. Though proposals were submitted, we have not received the balance funds sanctioned in the 11th plan period, and it has posed problems in the proper distribution of scholarships in the year 2012-13.

3. As the college in located in a backward area, there should be special allocation of funds from the state and central government to ensure student enrolment in the higher education sector.

7. Notes (Optional)

Assuring scholarships for all can be assumed as a benchmark for other institutions as well, and it is sure to produce sound results in all dimensions. Appointing faculty coordinators and department conveners shall be useful in the proper conduct of the programme.

members. 2. We do not have a post graduate programme in English in the college and it

adversely affects the higher education prospectus of the students of the area. Our opportunities are the following:1. We are likely to get sanction of MA English Literature in the next

a. Boost the efforts to start MA in English in the year 2013-14 as the Hon. Ministers of the government of Kerala have promised.

b. Raise the department as a research centre of Kannur Universityc. Upgrade the library to international standards

d. Make efforts to improve the research engagements of the faculty members by winning Minor/Major research projects.
