Message from Chief EditorENHANCING QUALITY CONCIOUSNESS AT T. JOHN COLLEGE

PROF DR.C. KARTHIKEYAN, DIRECTOR, IQACCHIEF EDITOR

Quality of Education is spiraling high and is rapidly changing at a pace, which is impacting all thestakeholders concerned. The monitoring bodies like the MHRD, UGC, NAAC, AICTE, and NIRF platformsare shaping itself to global standards, which directly trickle down to the institutional levels, in a speedwhich is unfathomable at times. Nevertheless, is very important point for survival? With new educationbills on the roll, and governmental regulations adjusting the global markets. Technological interventionsaltering the modes of learning, pedagogical techniques with new generation of learner’s expectationsscaling very high. The quality parameters are getting stringent enough to deliver. This is giving justice toevery stakeholder in the society. Taking cognizance of the fact, we need to realize that traditional modesare waning out and the contemporary developments for quality enhancement. The quality control factorsand paradigm shift in acceptance of quality parameters across the world and its direct and indirect impactin India.

With the new education policy (NEP 2019), in place, although as a draft, has already garnered attentionnationwide, and in fact worldwide. Every country is now closely monitoring each other on the forefront ofinnovative education system, to make its human resources more productive and innovative. The mostindispensable key element is “Quality consciousness “and “inclusiveness “, to benefit every stakeholder.

At this outset, we at T. John College have augmented our networking capabilities with the support ofIQAC to elevate from mere participant to a contributor. From every stakeholder of T. John College, be itthe Teachers, Students, Management, Employers and Parents. The first step towards the qualityconsciousness movement was started by the top management, in revamping the IQAC functions.

The IQAC now is revamped with new members, and the team is chosen as per the track records of theperformance in the department, and the exposure and experience of the faculty member. The teamcomprises of various office bearers, with additional responsibilities and the IQAC is now led by a new andenergetic team of new generation teachers. They lead the operations, in enhancing quality in everyoperation possible. The members have handled two successful NAAC processes prior to this assignment,and are additionally handling Autonomous Process, alongside with huge support from the Principal. Sheis the Chairperson of the IQAC alongside the College Coordinator to oversee the discipline compliance inthe college.

Quality is generally transparent when present, but easily recognized in its absence.

PAGE 5 NEWSLETTER

The quality conscious drive is done with regular meetings among the IQAC members, with facultymembers as a joint meeting on every Thursday evening to make faculty members imbibe the qualityculture and is regarded as empowering faculty members for the same, at every level of the college.The important areas of qualitative processes as per the latest policies of NAAC, AICTE, and UGCregulations are updated to all the faculty members, and regular orientation on key performanceindicators of quality, with respect to teaching learning process, research, funding areas, and innovativepedagogical process are discussed and oriented, in tandem with regular FDP and workshops.

To augment the above activities, IQAC assists the faculties with supporting regular initiatives, bysupporting the departments, as well motivate them through approved calendar of events. This is followedmeticulously, to accomplish the planned events in a phased manner, without sacrificing the quality, with afollow up Academic Audit. Capacity building exercises for the departments are done regularly to ensurecompletion of set goals.The TJH (T. John Habits), oriented from the Rockefeller Habits, is part of working culture, which hasscheduled targets, and accomplishment measured regularly, to all the departments. It starts with regulardepartment meeting called the Huddle. It goes on regularly, a very intricate and intertwinedcommunication system. There is a student huddle in the afternoon for the PG departments to take aregular feedback on the daily operations. It is also to know the pulse of the classroom, thereby taking upthe opportunity to correct and improve the system. The training and orientation for skills developmentincluding soft skill development, as well as domain specific hard skills like the AI, SAP, Coding andProgramming skills, for various courses as part of regular time table. The faculty huddle for thedepartments on the regular basis, and HODs huddle at the Principal office, intertwine and strengthen thenetworking skills of all the faculty members and the transparency dwells at all levels which has put theentire team on a higher throttle. With autonomous status in the plans, T. John College, team isprogressing at a different level. I take pride in expressing the same in word and deed.
