PREFACE It is a matter of great pleasure for me to mention that after NAAC accreditation in 2007,

we are again approaching for re- accreditation- Cycle-2, this year. For us NAAC

accreditation is important because it gives us an opportunity for self-analysis as well as it

gives us an identity as an accredited academic institution. NAAC accreditation ensures

quality and enables an institution to receive grants from both Govt. and semi Govt.

agencies which is essential for ensuring a better infrastructure that would promote better

higher education and research. Keeping in view the NAAC recommendations in 2007, we

have revised our action plans for the development of this college so that our college

would play an effective role in the field of higher education for women in this area. The

college has been receiving all types of assistance and co-operation from UGC, DPI, Zilla

Parishad, District Magistrate, MPs and other public representatives to carry out all

developmental works. We are also grateful to Ms Gouri Adhikari Biswas, formerly

Associate Professor and Head, Dept. of Economics of this college, for her generous

donation of Rs. 30 Lakh which was a great contribution to the construction of First floor

of Science Building of this college.

I would also like to acknowledge the sincere service of all my Teaching and Non-

Teaching staff and the enthusiasm of my students which has immensely contributed to

the steady growth of our institution till date.

(Dr Biman Chakraborty) Principal Balurghat Mahila Mahavidyalaya

CRITETION-II : TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrollment and Profile

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

In case of existing courses the college publicizes the admission processes through its website; In case of new course public distribution of leaflet among public, microphone announcement are done among others. For ensuring transparency the college puts up the list of candidates with scoring level in order of merit. The students are asked to draw attention of the authority regarding discrepancy, if any .The grievances of the applicants ,if any ,are redressed and then the final list is put up. With the introduction of on line admission system this year, transparency is ensured by the Govt. of West Bengal.

2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex. (i) merit (ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies and national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test or merit, entrance test and interview (iv) any other)to various programmes of the Institution.

Students are admitted on the basis of merit as reflected in their last examination i.e.(+2) level .This is done in consonance with the state Govt. order and guidelines.

2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission at entry level for each of the programmes offered by the college and provide a comparison with other colleges of the affiliating university within the city/district.

As per the university guideline the minimum marks for admission to BA course is as follows: i. Honors:(General students): 45% in aggregate failing 50% in subject ii. Honors (SC/ST/OBC): 5% boost up to the marks of the subject. iii. Pass:(( General) Pass in HS (+2) level iv. Pass (SC/ST/OBC ): Pass in HS (+2) level

2.1.4. Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

Yes.

On our analysis ,it is found that in spite of the fact that our students do very well in the university examination and in other activities , number of Students enrolled starts decreasing. The following factors are thought to be responsible : a. Between 2007-2015 a number of colleges come up around this locality : Patiram college,Tapan College ,Hili Govt. college etc.



b. Balurghat college earlier did not enroll the female students in pass course subjects so that this college could have respectable number of students in this college. But the emergence of these colleges, poses a problem to that college also in respect of number of students .As a result ,they now start admitting female students in pass course programmes .The result is falling number of enrolment in this college though the fact remains that this college achieves third position in the University in respect of result in (BA (Pass & Hons)course. However, this problem has been brought to the notice of the district administration .Their request to Balurghat college authority has no positive yield.

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

SC/ST OBC Women Differently able Economically weaker sections Minority community Any other

The college is always on the watch that national policy on education in respect of reservation is properly honoured.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans: Strength:

Separate departmental room with computer facility, Teacher; Knowledge skill, Obedient and initiated student Sympathetic college management in respect to teaching; teacher Students relationship Proper coordination among the faculty Cordial relation with the teacher of PG faculty of University

Weakness: As there is only one permanent teacher in the department , it is not always possible to do what we

went to do for the improvement of department Opportunity

Total numbers of honors students is 20-25. so the teacher can take and care and extend individual care and attention.

Teacher also pays special c lass and provides them with study materials. students can use departmental computer.

Reference book, text book and question bank are also issued from the departmental library. Challenge

Thought the department is lacking sufficient teacher and students come from remote areas and most of them are first generation learners and belong SC/ST community, we try our level best so that the students can join higher studies and establish themselves in service.

Every year some students go for PG with first class and second class honors marks. We have a plans to arrange for an yearly exhibition if the college fund permits.

Future plan: To produce study materials. Guide students in their research projects To organize exhibition for better awareness of the subject in trams of latest development in the

subject area

31. Number of students receiving financial assistance from college, university, government or other agencies/SC:


Students of B. Sc, Botany (Honours) Part I and Part II attended the National Seminar on "Role of Scientific Advancements towards Sustainable Development" organized by Dept. of Physics and Chemistry, Balurghat College.

Students of B. Sc, Botany (Honours) Part I and Part II attended a short demonstration on Mushroom Cultivation and Vermi-Composting at the Bioresource Center, Dept. of Botany, University of North Bengal during their study tour.

Students of B. Sc, Botany (Honours) Part I and Part II visited the Sukuna Biodiversity forest and Rhododendron Park located at Mirik, Derjeeling for studying the vegetation and collecting specimen for their understanding and knowledge.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: Lecture : Lectures are aided with visuals, charts and specimen demonstrations. Initiative session: All the queries of students regarding the subject matter are attended and solved. Smart class room: Smart Class room is used to show the students clipings and power point

presentation on different topics.



Separate Science building with computer facility, Skilled and qualified faculty members. Students with motivation and interest for the subject Cordial relationship among the faculty and between the teachers and students.



Laboratory setup for the department Adequate help from the College authority for new and innovative ideas for helping the students to

meet their goals. Weakness:

There is only one permanent teacher in the department and many a times it is difficult to organize other activities for the students.

Despite the fact that we have a separate building, we still would like to have our own departmental room and one more laboratory for proper functioning.

Lack of a reference cum seminar library within the department. Opportunity:

Our department is a very young department and yet we have an appreciable number of students enrolling for honours in Botany each year, over the years, the College also has gained much publicity and appreciation and hence more number of students are expected to join in the coming days.

The current faculty strength is -03 (One full time, one part time and one guest), this provides a good opportunity to carter to the students requirements individually.

Department is provided with a Computer with internet facility (Which is currently shared with Dept. of Zoology and Chemistry), this gives an opportunity to download study materials for the students.

Challenge: Students are from different social and economic backgrounds, imparting education to these diverse

groups is a challenge, specially where extra expenses are involved in practical lessons and study tours.

Students exams in English and almost all of them are from Bengali Medium, hence it a big challenge for the teachers of our department to impart hem the right knowledge, understandable to them without diluting the subject matter. We constantly encourage them to develop writing and learning skills in English.

Most of the students are interested in pursuing higher studies, so it is a big challenge and responsibility of the teachers that we should groom our student in right manner and equip them sufficiently for further studies ahead.

Future plan: With the aid from the college fund, we intend to set up an experimental cum educational garden,

which would have medicinal plants and few plant material enlisted in the course curriculum of the students.

Department also is planning to start a wall magazine, where students of the faculty and other science faculty of the college can contribute articles which would inculcate and develop writing skills among the students.

In the near future, Department would like to carry out one or two Minor Research Projects, where students will be involved.

Department would also like to hold a State level or a National Level Seminar on contemporary issues and development in Life Science research and education.

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES The NAAC accreditation of this college in 2007 is really important as it draws us to the limelight with the result. that the college gets more and more financial support from various agencies : Govt.,District Administration ,MPS, Zilla Parishad, and Ms Gouri Adhikar (Biswas) our ex-teacher. Over the years we have been trying to act in line with 18 NAAC recommendations and these are listed below. A copy of NAAC recommendations is hereby enclosed for ready reference.

1. Introduction of New Courses in the College:

Introduction of New Courses Year Subject Course 2008-09 Sanskrit Honours 2009-10 Zoology, Botany, Chemistry General 2009-10 Home Science General 2010-11 Geography Honours 2011-12 Zoology Honours 2011-12 Sociology General 2012-13 Botany Honours 2012-13 Journalism and Mass Comm.

Zoology, Philosophy, Sanskrit, English



Unfortunately ,under existing system we cannot appoint teachers: the recommending authority is College Service commission . The problem is retention of teachers. Once a teacher get a chance in a different organization of his own choice , we cannot stand in his way. We are rather duty bound to accept his resignation and to wait till College Service Commission sends a new one. We, however, appoint Guest teachers on temporary basis.

3. We have opened PG Distance Education Programme under Rabindra Bharati University.
