Annexure – III (Best Practices)

1. Title of the Practice

Celebration of Independence Day (2009-10)

2. Goal The main objective of celebrating the "Independence Day" (i.e. 15th August) of our country is to

impress upon the staff, the students and people living in and around our college to keep alive the struggles and sacrifices of our freedom-fighters to liberate the country and remind them of our responsibility to keep the unity of our country, maintain dignity of the nation and make progress for all Indian citizens irrespective of their caste, creed and religion.

3. The Context

Though celebration of Independence Day is an annual phenomenon in our college, we have been noticing for the last few years that the young generation is becoming victims of cultural degradation as well as obsession with electronic gadgets and forgetting the glorious struggles and sacrifices of our freedom-fighters. As a result, they are becoming self-centric and robotic, i.e. devoid of human feeling, day by day and shunning their responsibility towards the society and the country. In this context we had decided to observe and celebrate the Independence Day to remind the young generation of the struggles and sacrifices of our freedom-fighters and thereby grow the sense of responsibility and fellow feeling among them.

4. The Practice

This year we observed and celebrated the Independence Day, i.e. 15th August, 2009 in a much more dignified manner in our college premises. There is large ground between the Central Library building and the Rajat Jayanti Bhawan. On one side of the ground, there is a raised platform on which a


long mast had been kept and our national flag had been fastened to the lower part of the mast with a big rope. The platform had also been decorated with flowers and coloured powders by the volunteers of the NSS Unit. A large number of people including teachers, nonteaching staff, students and local inhabitants participated in the program. In the middle of the ground, a trained contingent of NCC cadets made a saluting march and the Principal, Dr. K. K. Mondal, took the salute. Thereafter the Principal hoisted our National Flag at the top of the mast amidst chanting of our national anthem "Jana Gana Mana". Then he requested all participants to attend the main program in Rabindrakaksha (Hall).

In the second phase, all assembled in Rabindrakaksha (Hall), which was colourfully decorated with flowers and garlands and placards containing some famous statements of our great freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas, Bhagat Singh etc. On the back of the dais, there was a big banner containing the name of the college as well as proclaiming the 66th anniversary of Independence Day celebration. The Principal, Dr. K. K. Mondal, presided over the program, while the ex-President of the Governing Body, Mr. K. N. Adak became the Chief Guest. Some special guests, including some ex-teachers of the college as well as some dignitaries of the locality, had also occupied the chairs on the dais. The program started with an inaugural song sung by a girl student, which was followed by a brief speech delivered by the Principal, welcoming all present in the program. Then the dignitaries explained various aspects of our freedom movement and its importance in our national life, particularly in the lives of the youth, who are the future citizens of the country. In between the lectures, there were patriotic songs, recitations, talk theatre etc. The concluding speech was delivered by the Principal, who exhorted all present to love the country and work whole heartedly for its all round progress.

5. Evidence of Success

That the students had been inspired by the patriotic songs, recitations and talk theatre performed by their mates as well as the brilliant lectures delivered by the teachers and dignitaries is evident from the fact that at end of the program some, students led by the General Secretary of the Students' Union met the Principal and the Teacher-in-Charge of Culture and expressed their willingness to form an association called "Azad Hind Volunteers' Force" under the leadership of the Associate NCC Officer of our college NCC Unit, Prof. S.K.Mridha. It is really very encouraging that a large number of students had already joined the Force, which had started its activities for the socio-cultural development of the students as well as people of the locality.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Infrastructural deficiencies due to financial inadequacy of the college are the major constraints

which are hindering further progress of the students in this sphere. There is shortage of class rooms as well as required instruments, acute shortage of permanent staff, both teaching and non-teaching, for the last few years and the college authority is helpless in this regard since both the teaching and non-teaching permanent staff are appointed by the State Govt. In addition to that, we are facing acute financial crisis due to the fact that the State Govt. is taking away 50% of the tuition fees collected every year and the large numbers of temporary staff appointed by the college authority to fill up the vacancies for running various departments and sections of the college are being paid from the college funds since the State Govt. is refusing to pay them. So financial, infrastructural and human resources are required most at the moment.


................................................

1. Title of the Practice

Inter-class Football Tournament (2012-13)

1. Goal

The main objective of organizing Inter-class Football Tournament every year is to create a platform for students of our College to prove their abilities in the game of football in various arenas and encourage them to participate in various State, National and International level tournaments which open vast possibilities for students to build their careers. It is also conceived as an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition, which provide the students with refreshing entertainment and relieve them of pressures of studies.

2. The Context

While establishing this rural College, its founders and pioneers have conceived it as an institution of higher studies to build careers of the students through education and remove illiteracy from this backward zone of Bengal. However, sports have now emerged as a separate and lucrative field for building careers of the young generation. Various Govt., semi-Govt. and even private sectors have job-quotas for promising sports persons. Moreover, various clubs all over the world are also hiring sports persons with fabulous payments. That is why the Management of the College has decided to organize Inter-class Football Tournament every year as part of annual sports with more importance and that is reflected in our plan to introduce Physical Education as a General subject in the under graduate course in the near future.

3. The Practice As part of annual sports of the college, Inter-class Football Tournament is generally organized

in December every year at the nearby playground of the District Institute of Education & Training, Jagatballavpur. This year it was held on 5th & 6th November, 2009. A tent had been erected on one side of the ground for teachers and supervisors of the tournament. Volunteers of the Sports Wing of the Students' Union under the guidance of the Teacher-in-Charge of sports of the College had completed the required preparations including drinking water, first aid, tiffins etc. in the tent. Eight teams from three streams (i.e. B.A., B.Sc. and B.Com.) took part in the tournament. It was a knockout tournament supervised by professional two linesmen and a referee.

Before the start of the tournament, the Principal of the College, Dr. K.K.Mondal, had delivered a brief speech urging everybody to work in unison to make the program a grand success. Then he inaugurated the tournament by kicking the ball at the centre of the field. The eight teams had been divided into four groups, which played each other in a knockout system. The play started betwee B.A. 1st year and B.Sc. 2nd year, in which B.A. 1st year became the winners. Towards the last phase of the tournament, there were only two teams – B.A. 1 st year and B.A. 3rd year – which played the final and B.A. 3rd year became the winners, while B.A. 1st year became the runners up. At the end of the tournament, a friendly match was held between the staff and the Students' Union, in which the staff became the winners. It should be mentioned here that the winners in the tournament would be awarded prizes during the College Foundation Day program on 1st December, 2009. The entire program had been successfully completed by 4 p.m. without any untoward


incidents. At the end of the program, the senior most joint in-charge of sports, Dr. G.C.Sett, thanked all for their cooperation towards successful completion of the program.

4. Evidence of Success The evidence of success of organizing Inter-class Football Tournament of our college is reflected

in the fact that a large number of students are getting interested in the game of football, resulting in their enrollment in various reputed clubs in the district as well as in Kolkata andparticipating in various tournaments in the district, university, state and even national level and bringing laurels for the college. Some students have also got jobs in various Govt., semi Govt. and even private concerns through sports quota. What is encouraging is the growing enthusiasm among students to take sports as a prospective career and football is one of them.

5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Infrastructural deficiencies due to financial inadequacy of the college are the major constraints

which are hindering further progress of the students and expansion of the College in various fields of sports including football. Non-availability of a playground of the college of its own as well as the required materials whenever required are the major stumbling blocks for further development in this discipline. What is required most now are the adequate funds for purchasing a playground for the students of the college so that they can get opportunities for practice as and when required.
