PREFACE

Thunchan Memorial Govt. College, Tirur, affiliated to University of Calicut crowns the educational scenario of the western coast of Malappuram District, Kerala state with its outstanding contributions in the field.

The college initiated in the name of the legend Thunchath Ezhuthachan, the father of Malayalam language soon became the beacon by spreading the power of knowledge through education. The visionaries who had envisaged this institute and made it a reality had dreamt of the educational and cultural advancement of the society. True to their belief and aspiration, our institute developed in leaps and bounds moulding the younger generations into responsible citizens of our mother land. With the passage of time, our college metamorphasised into an institution rendering value based education through conducive environment resulting in the overall development of the students. It also aims to inculcate the ideals of secularism, unity in diversity, national integrity and solidarity in the young minds. I applaud the pivotal and decisive role played by faculty and staff of this college without which this would have not been possible.

The college was accredited by NAAC with B+ grade on 10.02.2007. The process of re-accreditation was held in abeyance as several of our projects pertaining to ladies hostel, PG courses and other development activities were in the pipeline. We are really glad to have realized all the suggestions made by the peer team in their review other than the boy’s hostel, even the attempts to fulfill the same are duly on.

The institution is on the way into its re-accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The re-accreditation process is eagerly awaited by the stakeholders and will be a festive occasion for the people of Tirur. The NAAC exercise shall address the aspirations, needs, hopes and dreams of the people of Tirur, in particular, as we look forward for the external evaluation of Thunchan Memorial Government College.

ABOUT OUR INSTITUTION Thunchan Memorial Govt. College was started in the year 1980. The decision to start a government college was the long cherished dream of a group of socially committed visionaries of this area. It materialized as the result of the fusion of their enthusiasm, hard work, diligence and zeal. Apart from the primary aim of imparting knowledge, this institution has been visualized to play a more significant role, namely the improvement of the otherwise educationally backward Malappuram district and the coastal belt of Tirur taluk in particular.

For the present generation, it might be a surprise to learn that this prestigious college had a very humble beginning. With no separate building of its own at that time, the classes were initially held in the few class rooms of the nearby Paravanna Government High School. One of the rooms of the nearby private lodge served as the make-shift office room of the College. In 1981, this college was aptly christened as Thunchan Memorial Government College, thus honoring Thunchath Ezhuthachan, the father of Modern Malayalam Language whose birthplace is in the proximity of the college. His birthplace known as ‘Thunchan Parambu’, now preserved as a centre for cultural heritage of Kerala, is only 6 km from our college.

Thanks to the untiring enthusiasm and efforts of the College Sponsoring Committee, the college was shifted to its new premises by 1984. The committee received generous help from the public by way of donations. 22.5 acres of salubrious land at Vakkad was purchased and a college building was constructed on the land at a cost of rupees five lakhs. 17th November 1984 is a memorable day in the annals of the college. On this day, the college started functioning in its own building. Thus the present college campus came into existence.

The Sponsoring Committee is also credited with arranging the infrastructure and providing the necessary facilities so that the Pre-Degree courses in Humanities (Third Group) and Commerce (Fourth Group) could be started immediately. With unbounded gratitude we remember all the members of the Sponsoring Committee whose yeoman services contributed to the birth and step by step growth of the college. These members did the spade work for developing the college into a good temple of learning. We are grateful to each of them.

The year 1991 was another milestone in the history of the college. It was in this year that the first degree course, viz, B. A. Arabic was sanctioned. In the same year, B.Com. degree was also sanctioned. The college was thus upgraded to the status of a degree college. Even after upgradation to the level of a degree college, the infrastructural facilities available to the college were still inadequate. Yet, we are proud to say that this has not adversely affected the academic output of the college. We have not looked back since we cut our teeth in the educational firmament in 1980. Our students have secured the top university ranks and brought laurel to the college.

Soon the need for introducing new courses in science subjects in the college was realized and during the academic year 1993-94, B. Sc. Mathematics was introduced, followed by M. Sc. Mathematics in the year 1995-96. This marked the beginning of the first Post-Graduate Government College in Malappuram district.

The following years saw the commencement of new courses in the College. B.A. Malayalam course was sanctioned in the year 1999. In 2004-05, B. Sc. Physics was added to the list of courses in the college. As a result of the continuous effort taken by the teachers, PTA and alumni of our college, 3 PG courses viz., M.A. Arabic, M.Com, and M.A. Malayalam were sanctioned in the academic year 2012-13. At present the college has 5 degree courses and 4 PG Courses.

Principal quarters, quarters for teaching and non-teaching staffs were constructed using budget allocation of Kerala state and opened in the year 2012. Student amenity centre and ladies hostel were opened in the year 2015.

It is gratifying to note that many of the students who have graduated from this college are occupying top positions in different walks of life. Our Alumni include bearer of Limca Book of Record, administrators, IES officer, teachers, lawyers, politicians, company executives and businessmen. These students are our ambassadors who spread the culture and values they have imbibed from their years of study in this college. They continue to participate in all our activities and take pride in the growth of the college. The success story of each alumnus adds to the glory of the college.

The spirited endeavor of the students, teachers and people of this locality has earned the college a prominent niche in the educational map of

10


Malappuram district. The need of the hour is adding sufficient infrastructure, introducing new courses with emphasis on job opportunities and modern thrust.

We firmly believe that Thunchan Memorial Government College is destined to spearhead the educational empowerment of Tirur which still remains backward socially, economically and educationally. It is a beacon of hope to the people of this coastal area. It will stand out as a sprawling banyan tree in the future, shedding the exuberance of learning to thousands of students and to prosperity.

Finally we gratefully acknowledge the efforts of those administrators, legislators, former staff, people of the locality etc. who have shown interest and contributed to the growth of the college to the present status. Though the permission of the Government is required in all policy matters, the Principal, teachers, office and students will strive hard for attaining higher goals and ambitions and work for the steady growth of this institution.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Thunchan Memorial Govt. College (T.M.G.C), Tirur is the only Govt. College offering both Under Graduate and Post Graduate courses in the coastal belt of Malappuram District. The college started functioning in September 1980 in a building of Paravanna Govt. High School. Then it was shifted to its permanent building constructed in its own land of 22.5 acres at Vakkad. Students from surrounding coastal areas like Tanur, Paravanna, Koottayi and Tirur opt this college for their higher studies. A college building and a plot with an area of 22.5 acres were donated by the enthusiastic aspirants of this area for starting this Govt. College. The effort shouldered by some prominent luminaries of the area in their pursuit of higher education cannot be undermined. Thus the college started functioning with Pre-Degree courses in the year 1980. The focal intention was providing facilities for higher studies, mainly to the girl students of nearby areas, particularly the coastal areas. The college is situated 6 KM away from Koottayi Azhimugham (Estuary), which is blessed with scenic beauty and it is a place where BharathaPuzha, the longest river in Kerala, meets the sea.

The college is affiliated to the University of Calicut since its inception and been recognized by the U.G.C (vide 2(f) & 12(B) of U.G.C Act). Now the college offers UG and PG Courses in four subjects, Mathematics, Commerce, Malayalam and Arabic and one UG course in Physics. We have a staff strength of 45 and student strength of 681. The very distinctive feature of the college is that it is one of its kind to cater to the students from weaker and marginalised sections of Tirur and of the nearby coastal areas. The college has a Ladies Hostel with an intake capacity of 30, constructed with the financial support of UGC and State Government. The College has a well equipped central library facility with INFLIBNET/NLIST access to e-resources. We look forward to have a separate library block in future. All departments, office section and library have sufficient number of computers networked through the Management Information System (MIS). Biometric punching system was introduced in the college in June 2014. The college has a health club and ladies fitness centre under the auspices of the Department of Physical Education. A language lab, Computer lab, Arabsat, Internet browsing centre are available in the College for the use of students and staff of the college. A well furnished Edusat studio was set up in the college in 2012. The studio is also used for video conferencing with Director of Collegiate Education (DCE) and with Principals of other colleges. A new student amenity centre for girls was opened in the academic year 2015-16. In the academic year 2012-13, one Principal quarters, 3 quarters for teaching staff and 4 quarters for non-teaching staff were constructed with State Plan fund and is functional. A Co-operative store with necessary items for students and staff members operates in the college. A canteen with food at subsidized rates caters to the daily requirements of the students and staff. Staff members of the institution have formed a staff recreation club and many activities are conducted by the club. The college union, constituted through students' election, represents the student community and it assists in the smooth functioning of the college and policy framing for the benefit of all the students. The college is sensitive to the needs of the students with physical disabilities, slow learners, girls etc.

13


The strength of the college is the active participation of its stakeholders in the affairs of the college. The PTA, Alumni, students and others have contributed immensely to improve access to higher education for the mostly first generation learners of Tirur, in terms of different courses and also providing infrastructure for effective teaching-learning. Regular transfer of staff, lack of adequate residential facilities for staff and students, conveyance constraints for students and such matters have affected the sustenance of above initiatives in stimulating the academic environment to the desired extent. The College has only five under graduate programmes and four post graduate programmes. Most of the post-graduate programmes have commenced recently and the college realises the deficit towards research contributions and consultancy. The college offers extension programmes with the assistance of NSS in co-ordination with various departments. Further, the college intends to push research and extension activities in a big way with various proposals from various departments and stakeholders in this regard. Our priorities to upgrade the PG departments to research departments and UG departments to PG/ research centres have elicited favourable response from various quarters and stake holders. Further, our continuing education programme is being strengthened to include more vocational courses for external students and effective industry linkages. The college offers immense potential for improved access to higher education for girls in particular, with relevant initiatives and consolidation in the coming days. We are exploring the possibilities and are hopeful about the future days to come.

Further to above, the SWOC analysis may be listed with respect to some important points:

Strength:

Active participation of stakeholders in the developmental activities of the college

Availability of land for college developmental activities

Availability of quarters for staff and hostel for girls

Availabilty of resources

Work environment for creative and meaningful initiatives

Weakness:

Lack of sufficient courses (UG and PG)

Lack of adequate hostel facilities for staff and students

Lack of sufficient conveyance for students

Underutilisation of land in the college

Opportunities:

Availability of land for launching new initiatives

Scope for government initiatives

Scope for research and consultation activities

14


Challenges:

Socio economic backwardness of the region

First generation learners

Regular transfer of Principal,Teaching and Non-teaching staff

The college is enthusiastically looking forward for the NAAC exercise as it shall address the aspirations, hopes, vision and future of the people of the Tirur.

Choice Based Credit Semester System introduced by University of

Calicut in the year 2009 and revised the syllabi in the year 2014.The restructured curriculum provides more opportunities for academic flexibility and course enrichment to a great extent. Teachers of affiliated colleges got an opportunity to participate and to contribute to the syllabi of different programmes through a series of workshops for the various courses organised by the University. The various courses were designed to meet the challenges of changing needs of the global environment and current era. The workshops are succeeded in bringing out radical changes in the syllabi of the offered courses. A common course system was introduced so as to enrich the skill development and value addition of the students.

Core courses were updated to cater to changed global needs. Affiliated colleges got the freedom to choose elective courses from a list of courses offered by the University. Departments can choose one open course meant for students of other departments from a set of three courses offered by the University. List of open courses offered by various departments of this college, available for students of other departments are listed below

Teachers have continuous interaction with the students through their

engagements in the class room activities and through the tutorial system, which is running effectively in our college. Each tutor is entrusted with the charge of 25 students at an average. The Tutor keeps details of student profile, socio-economic details, and achievements in previous examinations, achievements in co- curricular areas etc. The tutor meets the students individually once in a month and hold informal discussion with him/her on academic and non-academic matters. Feedback on teachers’ performance is collected by employing questionnaire developed for this purpose. The principal discusses the student responses with the teacher concerned and suggest corrective measures. This has been found very useful as it throws light on areas of teacher’s strength and weakness. Alumni feedback is obtained in Alumni meetings, which is conducted by the college on 26th January of every year with the support of Alumni association. Meeting of Class PTAs (Parent Teacher Associations) conducted regularly served as a platform to obtain feedback on the quality of teaching learning process and the effectiveness of evaluation methods adopted in the college. Creative suggestions are encouraged from the parents for improvements and whatever positive and practical is incorporated. Industrialists, entrepreneurs, businessmen etc. are invited for seminars/workshops and to interact with students. The ideas shared in these sessions support the curriculum delivery. Repeated discussions on the curriculum among academicians and the positive points that emerged from these discussions were acknowledged among the teaching community. 1.3.2. How are the above feedback analyzed and the outcome / suggestions

used for continuous improvements, and communicated to the affiliating university for appropriate inclusion? Periodic Board meetings are convened by the University and in these

board meetings the feedback and suggestions from individual colleges are communicated for consideration and necessary action. The workshops conducted by the university in various subjects to appraise the changes in curriculum also assist in collecting curriculum feedbacks. 1.4. Feedback System

Since the data on the admission of other colleges are not in the public domain, the comparative analysis is not possible.

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 it to the improvement of the process

The entire admission process is regulated by the University of Calicut as per the directions of Government of Kerala. To ensure transparency, college has the Admission Committee to control and execute the process of admission. The committee ensures that all the vacancies are filled by deserving students within the time span stipulated by the University. Generally, all the vacancies are filled by students of deserving categories. If there is any vacancy in some special categories, it is advertised in newspapers and college website. Nevertheless some seats remain unfilled, when students leave after the closing of admission. The admission committee tries to avoid such situations by intimating the forthcoming vacancies to the deserving candidates in time whenever possible. After the review meetings of the admission committee we find that demand ratio is increasing every year and the students with higher index mark prefer our college.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National commitment to diversity and inclusion

Considering the regional need, the university has formulated certain criteria to improve access for different categories of students in the admission process. Admission committee of the college strictly follows the same. Students from different districts of Kerala and Lakhshadweep seek admission in our college. Being a government college, we follow the government norms of reservation as well. The actual representations of SC/ST/OBC students are shown in the following table.

*Single Window System has been in effect since 2012.

The college has recorded steady progress during the last four years. The availability of home stays and staff quarters as well as the excellent academic atmosphere in this college encourages teachers even from other

55


districts to continue here. Consequently a number of students from distant places are also attracted to this college. But the lack of hostel facilities and shortage of line buses continued to discourage many of them from joining here until recently. For these reasons a college bus service was introduced last year. Further, with the functioning of the women’s hostel, the above grievances could be addressed to a great extent. We hope that more students from other districts can utilize these facilities and seek admission in this college in coming years.

2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies adopted by the college in planning and management (recruitment and retention) of its human resource (qualified and competent teachers) to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum.

Recruitment Strategies: The College reports the vacancies in the sanctioned posts to the Directorate of Collegiate Education (DCE), Kerala.

65


DCE authorizes Kerala Public Service commission (KPSC) to appoint candidates to the required post. The college takes initiative to get sufficient number of posts created as and when new courses are sanctioned.

Temporary teachers are appointed by the college as per the norms of University of Calicut and Kerala Government whenever needed. Such situations may possibly arise when a teacher goes on FIP deputation, or when the excess teaching hours fall short of the number required for sanctioning new posts.

Table 2.10

2.4.5 Give the number of faculty members who received awards / recognition at the state, national and international level for excellence in teaching during the last four years. Enunciate how the institutional culture and environment contributed to such performance/achievement of the faculty members.

Four of our faculties are selected for national internship and one faculty is selected for international internship in connection with the FLAIR programme introduced by the Department of Higher Education, Kerala.

2.4.6. Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process?

Yes. At the end of each academic year, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) takes the feedback of students which includes the evaluation of teachers by the students (Since last three years). The responses are discussed at departmental level and appropriate actions are initiated. Further, the feedback from external peers during practical evaluation, project vivavoce also provide invaluable insights in improving the quality of teaching learning process. A visitors dairy is kept in the Principal’s chamber for eliciting response of eminent personalities. IQAC also takes feedback from PTA and Alumni, which helps in developing the year plan of college as per the needs and requirements of public.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms 2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and faculty members are aware of the evaluation processes?

Whenever a change in the evaluation process is demanded, the University provides training programmes for the CUCBCSS Coordinator the college. Other teachers are given a college level training on the new evaluation process by the CUCBCSS Coordinator.

At the beginning of each academic year, newly admitted students are given an orientation programme on the curriculum and evaluation process. Further clarifications about the evaluation process are given by the respective class tutors. Model test papers are conducted to make the students familiar with the examination process.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?

Calicut University implemented Choice Based Credit and Semester System from 2009-10 academic year onwards, consequent on the recommendations of Kerala Higher Education Council that has directed the universities to restructure the under graduate education by introducing semester system and grading . The college strictly follows the 'Regulations for Choice based Credit and Semester System for Under-Graduate Curriculum 2009'. The key points of the same are as follows.

80


According to the system, there are two stages for the evaluation; Internal Evaluation (25% Weightage) and External Evaluation (75% Weightage). Both internal and external evaluation will be carried out using Direct Grading System based on five point scale to evaluate the performance of the students. There are five components for internal assessment, viz, assignment (1 Weightage), seminar (1 Weightage), test paper (2 Weightage), and attendance (1 weightage). Each course is evaluated by assigning a letter grade (A,B,C,D or E) to that course by the method of direct grading. The internal and external components of course are separately graded and then combined to get the grade of the course after taking into account of their weights. An aggregate of C grade is required in each course for a pass and also for awarding a degree.

Table 2.26.

Direct Grading System

Letter grade Performance Grade Point Grade Range

A Excellent 4 3.50-4.00

B Very Good 3 2.50-3.49

C Good 2 1.50-2.49

D Average 1 0.50-1.49

E Poor 0 0.00-0.49

After the successful completion of a semester, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a student in that semester is calculated by dividing the sum of credit points acquired by a student by the sum of credits of the courses in the semester. For successful completion of a semester, a student should pass all courses and score a minimum SGPA of 2.00. However, the student is permitted to move to the next semester irrespective of his/her SGPA.

The Cumulative Grade Point of a student is calculated at the end of a programme. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. An overall letter grade for the whole programme shall be awarded to the student based on the value of CGPA using a 7 point scale given below.

Table 2.27.

Overall Grade in a Programme

CGPA Overall Letter Grade

3.80-4.00 A+

81


2.50-2.99 B

2.00-2.49 C+

1.50-1.99 C

1.00-1.49 D

The successful completion of all courses prescribed for the degree programme with C grade shall be the minimum requirement for the award of the degree.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?

As an affiliated college to the University of Calicut, the college adheres to the rules and regulations announced by the University. The CUSS coordinator of the college ensures the effective implementation and transparency of the evaluation process. The college gives utmost importance to the internal evaluation by preparing an academic plan including the dates of internal examinations, individual seminar, assignments etc. The effective implementation of the academic calendar is ensured by the concerned heads of departments. Department of Physics conducts open book test and take home test for internal evaluation .The initiative promotes reading references and the objective is to do away with learning by rote.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system.

The formative evaluation is done as per the norms of University of Calicut prescribed for the CBCSS/CUCBCSS system. As per the system, evaluation is done with the help of internal test papers, assignments, attendance reports and seminar presentations. While conducting test papers, question papers are prepared in the format of University examinations so as to help the students to get the feel of semester examinations. Assignments and seminar presentations demand self study that also improves the quality of their learning process. During seminar presentations students get sufficient opportunities to face an audience and present their views on various topics independently and confidently.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weight ages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioural aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)

The internal evaluation is based on test papers, seminars, assignments and attendance. Two internal tests are conducted in each course as per the predetermined time table. The seminar topics and assignment topics with dates are published in the department notice boards. While evaluating the seminars, weightage is given to factors such as self confidence, independent learning,

82


and communication skills etc. Tentative Internal mark list is published on notice board. The final mark list is submitted to college office after incorporating the necessary changes by addressing the grievances of the students.

The monthly attendance statement of the students is prepared by the class tutors at the end of each month which is also displayed in the notice board. At the end of each semester, Attendance Progress Certificate (APC) of the students is forwarded to the University.

2.5.6 What is the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliating university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?

To strive for the uplift of the people of this backward coastal region.

To nurture the hidden talents, creativity, originality of the students and help them in using these talents for the greater good of the society and nations.

To impart quality education to the students which will equip them to the stiff competition in the global job market

To provide our students with state of the art facilities and give them access to up-to-date the information so as to be well informed as their counter parts in the urban areas.

To empower the girl students of the educationally backward area by providing them with opportunities for higher studies and also by encouraging them to be self-confident and self-reliant.

CRITERION III

RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION 3.1 Promotion of Research

3.1.1 Does the institution have recognized research centres of the affiliating University or any other agency/organization?

Presently, ours is not a recognized research centre. However, we have applied to the University of Calicut for getting our department of Arabic recognized as a research centre and we are hopeful about the same during this academic year.

3.1.2 Does the Institution have a research committee to monitor and address the issues of research? If so, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations made by the committee for implementation and their impact.

Yes, the institution has a Research Committee to promote and direct research activities. The committee comprises of the Principal of the college, representations from all the departments and the librarian. The committee recommended the new recruits to be a part of FLAIR (a New Initiative by the Govt. of Kerala for young researchers), more research projects (major and minor) with UGC assistance, explore funding from DST, ISRO etc., subscription to INFLIBNET/NLIST, initiatives towards department research journals and subscribing more journals . The departments are directed to undertake under-graduate and Post-graduate projects with emphasis on research, extension and consultancy. Further, they are also directed to endeavour for promoting skills, talents and research exposures.

Impact:

Seven teachers have registered for Ph.Ds. Seven minor and one major research projects are applied for in addition to the ongoing ones. Various departments have conducted national and regional seminars to promote research among teachers and students. Different departments have subscribed for more research journals. More importantly, the spirit of research may be cited as one of the reasons which encouraged the college to introduce and facilitate for PG courses.

3.1.3 What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate smooth progress and implementation of research schemes/projects?

The library is well equipped with books and research titles. The college has subscribed to INFLIBNET/NLIST. Teachers and students attend seminars and workshops conducted by different colleges and Universities. Capacity building measures are strengthened. An understanding with nearby institutions facilitates exchange programmes to share resources.

88


Autonomy to the principal investigator The institute encourages the optimum use of the infrastructure and other

facilities to the investigator. The institute does not interfere in any matters undermining the independence of the principal investigator. A steady increase in the number of minor projects is a result of the academic autonomy enjoyed by the PI.

Timely availability of resources Funds towards capacity building are explored and implemented. An

understanding with nearby institutions facilitates exchange programmes to share resources.

Adequate infrastructure and human resources A reasonable infrastructure for start-up research is available in the college.

The State Plan fund and UGC development assistance have been utilized for capacity building. There are more Ph.D holders in the college compared with previous years and more young recruits are enthusiastic in pursuing research activities. Consequently, FIP deputations are on the rise. Nearby institutions share our infrastructure to meet their needs.

Time-off, reduced teaching load, special leave etc. to teachers All Government and University approved leaves applicable are utilized by

the teaching faculty for research purpose. Teachers who take part in short term courses on Research Methodology are given duty leave. Permanent Faculty avails FIP/FDPs subject to availability of slots. Ours being a college with only about forty teaching staff, there are limitations in providing for reduced teaching loads and special leaves for research.

Support in terms of technology and information needs Availability of Internet and different computer laboratories provide the

support. Teachers are encouraged to attend seminars, conferences and symposiums to keep themselves abreast of developments and trends in respective areas. The availability of INFLIBNET/NLIST in the college has provided for accessing selected e-resources such as journals and research papers.

Facilitate timely auditing and submission of utilization certificate to the funding agencies.

The College office is prompt in settling the accounts and furnishing details to the funding agency at the right time. College office takes special care to ensure the timely submission of the work to the concerned agency.

3.1.4 What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific temper and research culture and aptitude among students?

A concerted effort is made by the college in developing scientific temper. Different camps by the various departments related to fine arts, folk-lores, astronomy, films, music, study tours, nature study etc. have been very effective in developing scientific temper and research culture. The selection of projects in partial fulfillment for the UG and PG courses, intensive coaching for national level exams for higher studies, problem solving sessions, accessing specific websites for research etc. have promoted research culture and aptitude among students.

3.1.8 Enumerate the efforts of the institution in attracting researchers of eminence to visit the campus and interact with teachers and students?

Eminent Researchers visit the College as resource persons for the invited talks, seminars and workshops organised by the College. The students get an opportunity to interact with them in the campus.

3.1.9 What percentage of the faculty has utilized Sabbatical Leave for research activities? How has the provision contributed to improve the quality of research and imbibe research culture on the campus?

Since there is no provision for Sabbatical Leave for Government College teachers in Kerala, UGC's Faculty Development Programme is promoted to pursue research. 16% of the faculty members have already benefited from leave for their research work. The deputation period facilitates them to advance their research work substantially. These researchers, on return have taken initiatives to consolidate the research culture in the college. Their expertise and resourcefulness comes very handy for the college to launch different initiatives. The quality of UG/PG projects have improved remarkably.

3.1.10 Provide details of the initiatives taken up by the institution in creating awareness/advocating/transfer of relative findings of research of the institution and elsewhere to students and community (lab to land)

The students and teachers from the nearby schools and other institutions are empowered and enriched by the resourcefulness of the different departments in respective areas. Various initiatives on Language translations, Astronomy and superstitions, community development programmes, health care issues, gender related issues have been useful to create awareness. Coastal dialectical dictionary was prepared by Department of Malayalam.

3.2 Resource Mobilization for Research

3.2.1 What percentage of the total budget is earmarked for research? Give details of major heads of expenditure, financial allocation and actual utilization.

The college receives research grants from UGC for FIPs, major and minor projects. The Plan fund by the State Govt. towards different heads of expenditure are utilized for books, equipments, capacity building, study tours, add-on courses etc. These are utilized for supporting students' research projects. There are no exclusive financial provisions in the Plan fund (State) for supporting student's projects.

3.2.2 Is there a provision in the institution to provide seed money to the faculty for research? If so, specify the amount disbursed and the percentage of the faculty that has availed the facility in the last four years?

The Government of Kerala does not provide seed money for research purposes.

3.2.3 What are the financial provisions made available to support student research projects by students?

Though direct financial support for research is not provided, the institution helps the student through other means like providing infrastructure, lab facility, subsidized rate of printing and photocopies. The students in the final year degree programmes are encouraged to do research oriented projects. The students meet the financial needs from the scholarships provided by the government or from other agencies.

3.2.4 How does the various departments/units/staff of the institute interact in undertaking inter-disciplinary research? Cite examples of successful endeavors and challenges faced in organizing interdisciplinary research.

Availability of time to interact with teachers of other department is a major issue. The college being affiliated has to adhere to the routine schedule of conducting classes and examinations and other assignments. However, teachers do meet informally to discuss and share ideas and resources.

3.2.5 How does the institution ensure optimal use of various equipments and research facilities of the institution by its staff and students?

The available research facilities such as general library, computer lab, internet connectivity, EDUSAT, INFLIBNET/NLIST, audio visual theatre, sophisticated telescopes facilitating deep sky probing and related softwares, computing facilities, electronic equipments etc. are used on a shared basis among students and faculty members.

7.3. Best Practices

7.3.1. Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality Improvement of the core activities of the college.

Best Practices

1. Title of Practice: A Link to society

2. Goal:

Education is a socialisation process. It helps to explore potential of an individual and equip to meet the challenges of the society. 'Link to society' aims to synchronise students’ potentialities to the needs of society through varied programmes that ensures communal harmony, integrity and patriotism. It brings forth socially responsible and committed youths.

3. Context:

Our college is located in a rural as well as coastal region of Malappuram district, which is socially, economically and educationally backward. The fishermen of this locale are a group of uneducated and unemployed people who fail to get a permanent earning. Lack of primary education marginalises the people and detain them from all opportunities to succeed.

The UG & PG majors who successfully complete their courses from this campus shoulder a major responsibility to uplift the present status and conditions of these people since most of our students belong to this area and have seen and experienced such a dwelling. 'Link to society' guides and encourages students to get involved in all the social issues to nurture the physical and mental fitness of the people.

4. The practice: Students of this college are part of different bodies like NSS, NCC,

CSS and college union. They take up the responsibility to identify the neediest and neglected one in and around college surroundings in each year. They aim to improve the socio-economic condition of the inmates and to improve the educational status of women and children of the area. The proposed ‘Shiksha Mithru’ project of NSS of college plays a major role to fulfil the purpose.

Service to the Aged, Differently abled and the neglected is another responsibility under taken by the students. They often visit centres in the neighbourhood. 'Santi Special School' is a registered non-governmental charitable trust that holds differently abled people of all age groups. 'Old Age Home' at Tavanore is a rescue home for the neglected. Our students find time to spend with the inmates to solace them through talks, song, music and games. Our students help them to forget their worries and assure them that they too are their sons, daughters, sisters and brothers. Students come back to college by carrying a lot of values and new lessons of life they have acquired from this deserted old grandmas and grandpas. Students and teachers donate a reasonable amount to these organisations and distribute sweets, dress materials and food to meet their requirements. Students in NCC, NSS, CSS, College

Major programmes undertaken by Women Redressal Cell as part of ‘A Link to the Society’

The college is located in a rural backward area where women marry at an early age. Therefore the prospect of completing their studies and getting a suitable job remain a distant dream of majority of them.

195


Women Cell (WC) of the college realised the immediate need to stretch its hands to these deprived women who grope around financial insecurity. WC subsequently arranged self employment training programme for these women. The faculty members of our college donated two sewing machines to college women cell in 2014. Applications were invited and selected three most needy women of the neighbourhood. Some of the lady faculty members who know stitching came forward and expressed their readiness to guide these ladies and spared a few hours after 4’o clock to give classes on stitching and sewing. The attempt was appreciated and the result was promising too. In the year 2015, an amount of Rs.25, 000/- was allotted to the Women Cell from the college share of Continuing Education Cell of the college. Two sewing machines were purchased using this amount and a resource person was appointed to handle the sewing classes. From the General Development Assistance (XII plan) of UGC, an amount of Rs.20, 000 was sanctioned to Women Cell under the head ‘Extension Activities’. The honorarium to the resource person was given from this fund. Now five ladies of the locale are are benefitted by the programme. We are proud of our activities as we could empower a small group of people. We expect that these ladies will also be proud of their earnings and will stamp their identity in the family successfully.

5. Evidence of Success:

1. Our students got a chance to realise their potential and to link them to serve the society.

2. They learned not to differentiate people based on class, caste, religion, gender, socio-economic educational background, political lineage etc. All are treated and served equally.

3. Acquired the greatest language of sharing from their unified activities.

4. Succeeded in generating a healthy and positive attitude towards social changes.

5. Helped them to maintain a righteous relationship between haves and have notes in the society and remind themselves as one among the society.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

1. As our own students come from poor financial backgrounds, often they struggle a lot to find funds to meet these requirements.

2. The compact semester system undermined such student activities in the campus as it endorse less time to involve in this sort of social gathering .

196


BEST PRACTICE -2

1. Title of Practice: ICT Enabled Teaching and Academic Innovation

2. Goal:

The College promotes academic excellence of students through continuous motivation, coaching classes and Career guidance to cater their unique needs. The College ensures an adequate learning environment by fostering a qualitative instructional practice. Thus we help students to bring in knowledge, skills and attitudes required to examine their own lives and to set a self sufficient productive life beyond college. The College inspires young teachers and students to push their boundaries and redefine the structures of teaching and learning in the changing academic circle. Students are facilitated with ICT enabled class rooms for meaningful and involved teaching learning experiences. We aim to enable students to connect, collaborate and share with people through technology.

3. Context:

To compete with an ever changing globalized world our students need an education that meet their individual needs and opportunities that connect them to what is happening around the globe. Therefore, it is the whole responsibility of the college to set an appropriate learning environment which is more exciting, challenging as well as rewarding.

New generation students inhabit a borderless world offering boundless link, data and mobility. They need education delivered in ways that are compatible and support their world view. In view of these special circumstances, college charts different programmes with the departments of college to take initiative in innovative teaching practices.

4. The Practice:

ICT Enabled Teaching

Students from the rural and coastal background are to be exposed to fine use of technology in the conventional classroom to thrive in the competitive world. They are equipped and reasoned to set a researched goal for their future.

The College provides qualitative teaching- learning environment. The following are listed below:

The Departments and college office have adequate computers and laptops.

The Departments and Office are interconnected with a local area network (LAN) to facilitate learning. It enables them to have a wide range of resources through internet.

197


College functions with MIS to provide efficiency and effectiveness in academic and non academic activities of the college.

Every computer terminal in the campus is provided with broad band internet connectivity.

Arab sat facilitates students to listen and interact with many native as well as non native scholars.

Audio visual theatre provides a theatre experience to students. Many documentaries and films are screened. A great platform is provided to students to view and review world cinema.

Students are exposed to live virtual class rooms through Edusat studio. They experience a classroom other than the conventional one and realize that knowledge can be sought through different way also.

Full time internet access is open to students and faculty through LAN lab. It helps in their reference.

Computer Science department has a well equipped computer lab to facilitate for computer literacy and complimentary courses.

Departments have interactive white boards and LCD projectors to modernize class room interaction and provide a novel learning atmosphere to the listeners.

A platform for literary and cultural activities is provided through Al-Yaqda. It organises lectures, seminars, and workshops every year.

Students in the department are provided with UGC exam coaching classes. Moreover the Department conducts add-on certificate course in ‘Communicative Arabic and translation’, thus make them competitive.

Department of commerce

Enterpreunership and Development Club (ENDEC), a club formed to nurture students through innovative programmes carries the motto “A step towards innovative thinking”. It conducts inter university meet to give students an opportunity to interact with students of other campus like Brain Blitz - an inter university reality show.

The Department conducted add-on courses on Diploma in Commerce and management and Certificate course on Tally -Computerized Financial accounting. The classes were conducted on working days without affecting the regular classes and on Saturdays and during vacation. The students who completed the course successfully were given course certificates and mark lists. The financial assistance of the course was given by Director of Collegiate Education, Kerala. The course helped the students to enrich their knowledge in computerized financial accounting


‘OMEGA' is the mathematics club of our college which had released several manuscript magazines. OMEGA has an eventful journey from the time of its inception. It conducts weekly puzzle and displays winners’ name in notice board to boost and encourage students. ‘Mathemacian of the month' is another attractive and informative strategy, where the biography and contribution of greatest mathematicians is displayed in the notice board every month. Thus students get acquainted with the life and career of those historical contributors and add to their knowledge list.


Under the auspices of the Department of Malayalam many programmes are initiated like Thanal, Sravyam and group teaching to provide a new learning experience. The Department arranged a performance of 'poothapattu', workshops in poetry, screened films, organized campus film festivals, ‘kavyasamvadam’ a discourse in poetry, released wall magazines and organised workshops on Kerala’s cultural art forms.

Thanal

The open air class room THANAL is an arty initiative by department of Malayalam. It gives students to learn in a pleasant, healthy environment and to feel the rhythm of nature. It allows students to engage in a variety of activities without distressing about space constraints, creating a more dynamic environment for education.

Group Teaching/Team Teaching

Realizing the advantage of team teaching, Dept of Malayalam shoulders the saying.”Two heads are better than one” and diligently engages students over a single topic providing them a noval learning experience and exposure.

This helps them to

Share diverse perspectives

Pool knowledge and skill of resource persons

Develop new approaches in resolving differences

Make them critical and broaden their world view.

5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS:

Innovative practices and ICT enabled teaching strategies practiced by the departments have a promising outcome in the form of professional development of teachers and personal enrichment of students. As each student

200


pass through these programmes, we witness great transformations in their personality and improvement in their confidence level. They started dreaming for the utmost. Programmes such as workshops /seminars etc. in the college provide opportunities to students, teachers and other staff to keep themselves updated and abreast of changes around them. Students are equipped to face the challenges boldly and shape their own life. Use of technology helped them to act creatively and move beyond class room walls. Highly interactive class rooms are ensured through innovative practices and I.C.T. enabled teaching.

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:

ICT enabled teaching meets many challenges to run a programme without interruptions.Whenever electronic equipments stop functioning, it takes much time to maintain the same as we could not raise money immediately. Technical Assistance staffs are not appointed in the college for monitoring and maintaining the electronic equipments. Academic innovative programmes could not be carried out properly since the semester system promotes an academic aura with a syllabus oriented class room. As each department charts many academic innovative programmes, often they struggle a lot to meet resources for the same.

Scholar support program for weaker students and walk with scholar for bright students

Students are appraised of minor research projects undertaken by teachers and they engage in the projects actively.

Internal exams are conducted in take home mode.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities.

Every year the students of the Physics Department visit Santhi special school for the mentally retarded people, located in Vettom. The students offer food for one day to the students of the special school.

Students of the department have good strength in NSS, CSS and NCC.

Sky watching camps are conducted with the existing infrastructure during celestial phenomena such as solar eclipse , transits , lunar eclipse etc and the nearby residents participate and relish the events.We endeavour to inculcate scientific temper and arouse scientific curiosity in them .

35. SWOC analysis of the Department and Future plans

Strengths

The Department has a Well equipped lab with computers

Students are highly motivated and hardworking

260


All the four faculty members have registered for Ph.D. and are actively doing their research.

The parent department, Directorate of Collegiate Education is generous to sanction funds for the development laboratory and for enhancing the skill of faculty.

Weaknesses

Lack of laboratory and classrooms to commence M.Sc. (Physics).

Insufficient Lab Assistant posts.

Lack of industries and research institutions nearby.

Opportunities

Guidance to M.Sc. Physics students of other colleges for their project

Using the highly sophisticated telescope available in the department, we are planning to conduct sky watching camps for the local people.

Students shall be trained for entrance exams like JAM, JEST etc.

The commencement of M.Sc. (Physics) holds immense potential for the students from Tirur.

The development of research centres and research programmes shall provide the impetus and motivation to our resourceful teachers who are actively engaged in different research projects and research endeavors..

A full fledged research department of Physics with theoretical and experimental advanced laboratories in the frontier areas such as quantum optics, lasers, materialscience,quantum information theory. Astrophysics, etc shall provide job opportunities for students and nurture the talented students from our nearby areas.

Challenges

Poor language skill students coming from Rural areas

Marriage of female students before the completion of course

Majority of students come from financially poor background, so they find difficult pursue higher Education.

Most of the students are first generation learners.

Transportation facilities are also a major constraint in the conduct of additional programmes in the college.

261


Future plans

To start coaching for JAM and JEST (M.Sc. Admission tests)

To apply for M.Sc. Physics Course

Research laboratories and research programmes in the frontier areas.

To improve the practical skills of the students by use of Expeyes.

IQAC is keen in ensuring the relevance and quality of academic and non academic programmes, the adequacy, maintenance and proper allocation of support


structure and services, the credibility of evaluation procedures and fostering among the faculties the need for engaging in research and exploratory streams.

Organizing Seminars and Workshops

Even though our college offers UG/PG courses in 5 core subjects, we conducted 21 National seminars in the last five years. We conducted workshops on regional cultural activities especially drama and subsequent documentation. Also we conducted various state/institutional level seminars and workshops.

New Courses

• Three P.G. courses, M.A Arabic, M.A Malayalam and M.Com. were started in the academic year 2012-13 and are functioning well.

• College has taken initiative to start new courses including M. Sc. Physics, B.Sc. Computer Science and B.A English. The request for the same is under consideration by the University of Calicut and Govt. of Kerala.

Add on courses

• A new add – on course, Certificate course on Tally (Computerized Financial accounting) was started under Dept. of Commerce in the academic year 2011-12. It is a job oriented course, specially designed to impart practical knowledge on computerized Financial Accounting.

• An add-on course, Certificate course in Astrophotography was started under the Dept. of Physics in the academic year 2012-13. The course was designed to impart scientific temper and to make students research-oriented.

Solar Projects

To imbibe the significance of non-conventional energy, the college initiates pilot projects pertaining to energy conservation and utilization Solar panels with solar inverters, solar lightening of the campus, solar cookers and other solar equipments or gadgets are installed. The idea is to promote the use of non-conventional energy and make the students aware of the impending crisis pertaining to fossil fuels and fossil energy. State Plan fund assistance of an amount of Rs. 7, 50,000/- was sought.

Management Information System

The college installed schemes for introducing computerization in the campus with the objective of integrating all the departments and facilitating for paperless academic and allied activities. We installed an MIS (Management Information System)in the academic year 2012-13, which facilitates for student’s profile, attendance etc. to start with. The system faced technical issues due to which it could not be used to its potential. DELL computers are addressing the server issues. We intend to go for total computerization with paperless transactions at all levels of planning and


development viz. office administration, academic activities. We propose to inculcate the values involved in open source softwares and minimize the use of proprietary softwares. State Plan fund assistance of an amount of Rs 13, 75000/- was sought.

ICT enabled teaching learning process

All the departments have at least one ICT enabled classroom to facilitate more effective teaching learning process. Most of the faculties make use of these facilities to make the teaching learning process more interesting using power point presentations, group discussions etc. Students were trained to present their projects as PPTs in smart class rooms. IQAC conducted workshops in ICT enabled teaching learning process to equip faculties with modern technological ideas.

Walk With a Scholar Programme

The Walk With a Scholar programme is one of the new initiatives of Govt. of Kerala which aims at giving necessary orientation to needy students, to prepare them for employment and give them necessary guidance, motivation and support to identify appropriate areas for higher studies as well as employment.
