Preface

G.H.S. Government PG College, Sujangarh (Churu) was established in July,1968 by the Government of Rajasthan to facilitate easy access to the higher education for the youth of this Semi-urban area.

It is affiliated to Maharaja Ganga Singh University, Bikaner and imparts graduation level education in three streams viz. Arts, Science, Commerce and post graduation studies in Commerce (ABST,EAFM,Bus Admin.) & Science(Chemistry).

The college was established as two separate colleges in July,1968 as G.H.S. Arts & Commerce college,Sujangarh (Churu) in Bhanwar Lal Kala Bal Mandir,Sujangarh(Churu) with 66 students and Seth Motilal Baingani Science College, Ladnun (Nagaur) in Johary Higher Secondary School,Ladnun(Nagaur).Later on, the two different colleges shifted to present buildings constructed by local businessmen on 28th January,1974.Both colleges were merged into a single college by State Govt. on 1

st January,1982.

It is popular with the name of Sujla college because of being located at the junction point of Sujangarh,Jaswantgarh and Ladnun.The region is famous for giving big industrialists and businessmen to the country.Academically, the college began with UG in

Arts, Commerce & Science stream . In 1995,PG in Commerce (ABST,EAFM,Bus Admin.) was introduced. In the academic session 2010-11 PG in Science (Chemistry) was also introduced.

Despite the lack of required resources, the college is continuously planning and working to make the best use of available resources and government assistance to augment its infrastructure to meet the demands of the growing number of students who come from nearby villages and remote hamlets.

The main objective of the institution is to impart quality higher education mainly to the sons of the soil. The institution is doing some effort to raise standard of teaching through value based education. The spirit of the college is embedded in its motto-‘Gyanam Sarvarth Sadhanam’ which means, Knowledge is the vehicle of all achievements. The experienced and devoted teaching and non-teaching staff of the college is committed to provide conducive learning environment to its students. The self-study report prepared for Cycle (II) of NAAC Re-accreditation is a move towards preparing an effective support structure to ensure growth of our students.

There is no provision for research for the students during undergraduate courses as per University curriculum.The college does not have any recognized research centre of the affiliating University or any other agency, but some of our faculty members are involved in the research at individual level.Some of the faculty members have a good number of publications to their credit. One of our faculty member is doing Ph.D. under TRF. Recently, one faculty member have also applied for Minor Research Project.

The college is conscious of its role in campus-community connection, well-being of its neighborhood and has initiated a number of community development activities under NSS units.

Infrastructure and Learning Resources:

Since its inception in 1968, the college has been keeping pace with the changing needs and requirements to meet its academic growth by augmenting infrastructural facilities.

8

campus. Although there is no formal mechanism to conduct green audit of the campus, yet the college plans strategies to improve the existing conditions to make the campus eco-friendly

Being a Government institution, the college has limited autonomy regarding academics and fund disposal, but the college has introduced a few innovative measures to address the changing scenario like rain water harvesting, computerization of Establishment & Academic Section,online admission process and online scholarship system.

CRITERION VI

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

Education is a dynamic process which strengthens the students to make the best use of

their capacity to make the world a better place to live. The institution is committed to invigorate

the rural youth to materialize their dreams and to nurture future citizens towards excellence.

Our motto is ― ‘Gyane Sarwarth Sadhanam’. Knowledge is the vehicle of all achievements.The

institution works through the principle of teacher-student interaction to facilitate the rural

learners with opportunities to hone their creative potential, to assume positive and fulfilling roles

in nation- building.

The role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and implementation of

its quality policy and plans:

The college is run as per policy of the Government of Rajasthan.

The Principal and the faculty members are always stepping in together for the implementation of

policies and plans as per government notifications.

The principal of the college and sometimes the convenors of the committees like Admission,

Scholarship and UGC are invited in the meetings with the Director of College Education to

discuss the policy matters and their suggestions are incorporated in planning the academic map

for the colleges.

In the meetings of the Staff- Council, the principal discusses with the faculty members the policy

matters regarding the smooth functioning of the college. The students‘ opinions are also taken

into consideration while preparing the action plan for various curricular and extra-curricular

activities. The Council ensures that all provisions of the University bye-laws, the Statutes and the

regulations of the Directorate of College Education, Rajasthan are observed. The Principal

provides academic leadership and in association with the various faculties, evolves strategies for

academic growth.

The faculty is actively involved in decision-making process. The principal of the college

constitutes different committees to ensure implementation of the policy statements and action

plans of the Government of Rajasthan for fulfilment of the stated mission. These committees

play an important role in the planning and conducting the activities in different spheres of

institutional functioning in tune with the notifications of Directorate of College Education,

77

Rajasthan. The recommendations of the convenors of the Committees are submitted to the principal for assistance in implementation.

The procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and evaluate policies and plans of the

institution for effective implementation :

The Principal appoints the conveners for various committees and nominates the members of

committees in consultation with the respective convenors.

The Official notice is issued along with the guidelines defining the roles and responsibilities of the

committees.

The committees prepare action plans and submit to the principal for approval. The committees carry out the activities and at the end of the academic year or as per requirement, the conveners submit the reports of the work done to the head of the institution.

The faculty is informed of their duties and responsibilities by the head of the institution in the scheduled meetings of the staff council.

The administrative staff is also given a job map along with the roles and responsibilities regarding admission, scholarships, establishment and examination related work.

Details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by the top management:

The top management, the Directorate of College Education conducts orientation courses and

refreshers courses for the faculty members to enhance their academic growth . These courses are scheduled as per UGC rules and Regulations.

At the institutional level, the college encourages its faculty members to take part in various national and international seminars/ conferences/workshops. The faculty members are also sent to the training programmes on Language proficiency and ICT Skill – enhancement, smart Classrooms etc, as per directions of the Directorate of College Education. These training capsules are meant to promote innovations and inventions in teaching and learning.

The institutional mechanism to groom leadership at various levels:

The college administration is always encouraging and supporting the involvement of the staff in the

improvement of the efficiency of the institutional process. It keeps them abreast of the latest

information and knowledge in the area concerned and enables them to take the lead role in planning and organizing academic, cultural and sports programmes.The faculty members are involved by way of constitution of various committees such as Building Committee, Advisory Committee, Discipline Committee, Examination Committee, etc.

Student Union is the main body to give them a chance to groom leadership whereby students get

78

chance to elect their representatives. This inculcates democratic values and vision among them. Direct election for the college Union is a peculiar feature whereby students directly elect President, Vice President, General Secretary, and Joint Secretary. It helps in the sense of participation among the students and imparts training for the democratic governance and prepares them to undertake leadership in the future.

Student‘s activities such as NSS, Rover- Ranger activities, YDC foster social commitment among students and help to groom leadership qualities also.

Few steps towards decentralized governance system

The college delegates authorit y and provides operational autonomy to f o u r units and work

towards decentralized governance system as per State Government rules i.e. RSR (Rajasthan Service rules).

These units to facilitate smooth administration viz.

We have certain important committees in the college which have the representation of local MP, local MLA, local industrialists and experts of various fields. It ensures interaction among college, society and government. These committees are:

members continuously pursue political leaders as well as the philanthropists of the city for

fund raising for the augmentation of infrastructure. Additional funding is also secured for the

matching grants to the Government assistance for building construction.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)

An Internal Qualit y Assurance Cell (IQAC) established after first accreditation of our college

has been instrumental in implementing diverse quality enhancing measures.

Policy contribution of IQAC cell is:

To improve the quality of teaching and learning process.

To have the infrastructure of best quality.

IQAC holds informal meetings with the conveners/members of various committees which are

framed for a smooth running of curricular and co-curricular activities. Issues discussed help the

IQAC team in the formation of policies and enhancement of the quality. Such policies are

communicated to the members of the staff by the Principal.

90

The fair representation of the students in committees like IQAC, YDAC, Women support Cell

ensures the transparency in the process.

Academic Audit or other external review of the academic provisions:

There is a well structured pattern of internal Academic Audit. Right at the beginning of the

session, a meeting of the members is called by the principal, where they are instructed to allot the

classes to staff members as per the student strength. They are asked to ensure the completion of

syllabus by the faculties in time and to prepare teaching plan for the same. The staff is given

directions to maintain their attendance registers regularly.

The external regulatory authority is the Directorate of College Education, Rajasthan and

Maharaja Ganga Singh University Bikaner and the college administration makes the compliances

as per their instructions.

Institutional mechanisms to continuously review the teaching learning process:

The College has set up a monitoring committee for Teaching-learning process and Attendance to

review the teaching learning process. The committee holds meetings with the faculty members to

settle the students‘ grievances regarding any irregularity in the teaching - learning process.

Principal also at his level monitors teaching classes regularly to ensure timely completion of

syllabus and avoid any irregularity or lack of punctuality.

The student council of the College keeps the members of the committee updated about their

difficulties regarding certain courses and the performance of the teachers. There is a suggestion

box where the students can drop their complaints, if any. The contents of the box are analyzed on

the monthly basis and suitable measures are taken to redress the grievances.

Communication of quality assurance policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various

internal and external stakeholders:

Instructions regarding the quality assurance are communicated to the faculty members, especially

the newly appointed ones, in the beginning of the session through meetings

with the Principal and IQAC. Students are also made aware of such policies through orientation programmes

conducted by the administration. To ensure a fair representation of students, the college has

framed some committees like Student‘s Union, Women‘s Cell, IQAC, YDAC and

YDC where they are given a platform to voice out their suggestions about the implementation of

the policies issued by state government.

The college informs the external stakeholders about its policies through prospectus, website and

advertisements in the newspapers.

Criterion VII : INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

The college building is situated on pollution free site where there is no pollution of any kind.

Fresh and calm environment of the campus is further enhanced by planting various kinds of

trees, particularly pipal and margosa trees.

The college is deeply concerned about environmental issues. Being very sensitive to the

environment protection, the college works incessantly to maintain a green environment in the

campus. Although there is no formal mechanism to conduct a green audit team of the campus,

yet the campus Beautification committee plans strategies to improve upon the existing

conditions to make the campus eco-Friendly.

The committee regularly makes a qualitative and quantitative analysis of water consumption to

identify means of reusing and recycling of water in the campus. The points with leakage and

overflow of water are identified and appropriate measures are taken to prevent wastage of

water.

The NSS Volunteers, Rovers actively operate the campus Beautification committee in working

on various plans to spread the green carpet of vegetation in campus which is a part of the sand

dunes of the area.

To make the campus eco-Friendly is the major concern of the college administration. It plans

Strategies to sustain environment and implement them effectively involving students and staff.

The initiatives taken by the college to make campus eco-friendly are as follows.

Energy conservation : Following measures have been taken to save energy.

Use of fluorescent tubes instead of incandescent bulbs.

Compact Fluorescent lamps (CFL) are installed.

In non-reading and non-working areas, reduced lighting (25 watts – 40 watts) is used.

For outdoor lighting, high pressure sodium or metal halide lamps are used.

Lights are switched off immediately when not required.

Computers, printers, copiers etc. which are not in use are closed down and disconnected at

the end of the day.

Electronic equipments and gadgets are shut – off during non working hours.

Members of student council and faculty have been deputed to check the wastage of

electrical energy by ensuring that fans should not run in unoccupied classrooms or

laboratory.

Use of renewable energy: - Realizing the value and utility of water, water drainage system

is planned in such a way that the water draining from the drinking – water shed is all

drained to the plants where they are automatically watered. In this desert area water

scarcity is one of the major problems and the college has tried to find a solution of this

problem through this drainage system.

92

Check Dam Construction: - for storing – extra rain water, the college has built three check

dams for multipurpose tasks. This water is also used by the animals and birds.

Water Harvesting: - Sujangarh is one of those areas of Rajasthan where there are a lot of

problems in having pure drinking water. Water here is full of chloride and other harmful

elements, which become the cause of many physical problems too. The college has been

confronting this problem for many years. But now we have solved this problem by installing

rain water harvesting system. There huge water harvesting tanks have been built and the

large roofs of the college are especially cleaned before rains and then all rain water is

stored there. Due to lack of pure water the college has been facing the short of attendance

of the students too. Now that problem has also been solved by this rain water harvesting

system. Two water reservoir the sizes being 14 ft. x 25 ft. x 10 ft. in length, width and depth,

10 ft. x 15 ft. x 11 ft. in length, width and depth respectively are situated in commerce

college building and one water reservoir is constructed in science college building of the

size 10 ft. x 12 ft. x 12 ft. in length, width & depth.

Efforts for Carbon neutrality –

Plantation of trees has been increased to sequester co2 emptied in the

atmosphere.

Awareness programs are conducted by NSS and rover crew team.

Number of ficus religiosa (Pipal) Trees are specially planted to provided more oxygen and

reduce the level of carbon dioxide.

Plantation –

In the last three years the college has planted about many ornamental and shady plants in

the campus.

Despite water scarcity and barren land college Administration is taking much pain to make

the surroundings full of greenery.

This college has especial concern for the various plants and trees. With the financial help of

social workers and college staff tree – guards are built around younger plants and water

tanks are brought from time to time to the college to water various trees and plants,

growing on the huge five grounds of the college.

Hazardous Waste Management –

In order to keep the college campus pollution free, hazardous waste, emitted by the chemistry lab .Is

disposed in two ways – solid waste is burnt, whereas liquid waste is drained into deep dug ditches.

93

E- Waste management All the e- waste of the college is shifted to the store room, where the physical verification team examines it. The waste declared rejected by the team is then auctioned. 7-2 Innovations

Being a government institution, the college has limited autonomy regarding academics and fund

disposal, but the college has introduced a few innovative measures to address the changing scenario.

This college is situated at the distance of 6 km. from Sujangarh 2km. from Jaswantgarh and 5 km. from Ladnun, and so almost all the students have to reach here by buses. Roadways buses formerly didn’t stop here. But by the ceaseless endeavors of the college administration, Rajasthan roadways has sanctioned to this triangle as ‘Sujala Bus stop’. It has solved one of the major problems of our student folks and now they don’t have to wait for hours for the buses.

Not only the Bus - stop, the college administration, by the financial assistance of student leaders, has erected a ‘Vishramalaya’ for the students, which provided them shelter from the scorching heat of sun & storms and rains.

A very humanistic innovation of this college is to hang many ‘aluminium trays’ by the trees for feeding the birds and to give them grains daily. Similarly earthen pots are also placed near by these grain trays and regularly clean water is poured into them for drinking. It shows especial concern for our environment too, as it provides soothing relief to the birds from scorching heat.

Another very noteworthy innovation is made by the principal of this college, shri H.L. Godara. In order to encourage and inspire, sincere and active service of the staff, he has started the practice of rewarding hardworking staff members. It works as an incentive to them for their sincere work as well as an inspiration to others.

In this sequence of innovations of the college, next innovation is done by the college administration, which has very skillfully, patiently and cautiously, changed the mind and attitude of some notorious, violent group of students and motivated them to join main stream of the college. Now the same students, who were ready to quarrel, make riots and uproar in the college, are now busy in rendering good and kind service in the institution.

Besides providing traditional U.G. and P.G. degrees to the students, the college aims to get them ready and well- versed in the latest technological field. With this target the college is running one year diploma course in I.T. A well furnished I.T. lab is installed for this purpose. There are fourteen computers with computer table and chairs, broad band connection and one Godrej Almirah in I.T. Lab. Forty students can apply for this course in a session.

Computerizations of accounts section.

Constitution of campus beautification committee.

Learn to earn program in the schedule of YDC.

To meet the requirement of time, the institution has launched its Website w.w.w.gcsujangarh.gov.in . All the relevant information about the college is made available on it. 7.3 Best Practices The college has a congenial atmosphere for the faculty to work with harmonious co-ordination. All activities are planned in a way to provide the student best possible opportunities for their all-round development. Best practice I

Title of the Practice : - GYMNASIUM Goal : - Along with the goal of academic excellence, the college aims to provide the students, intensive training in sports to seek their holistic growth. The mission of the college is to chisel the potential of rural youth to be excellent sportspersons and contribute towards building good human resource for the nation. The students especially girls, need special care and consideration, as most of them come from rural background where sports activities are still considered to be for boys ‘Privilege’. The aim of this practice is to train the girls to confidently prove their worth in sports. The context : - The student who come from the nearby villages have a great fascination for sports activities like wrestling and weight-lifting. Modern youth, especially college student are, now- a-days very concerned about their physical fitness, so gymnasium will be an allurement for them to be regular in college attendance too. It will make then physically fit and agile and active. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. So it will cast a favorable effect on their intellectual development too.

- The girls have a passionate desire to participate in the games related with muscle power which is still considered to be the male territory in the villages.

- The practice is initiated with noble aim for women empowerment through sports. Best Practice: - The College aims at all- round development of the students, and hence at the

commencement of every academic session, the students are notified to personally contact the physical training instructor to seek guidance regarding their participation in games and sports as per their choice and potential. These counseling sessions are conducted to motivate the students to participate in games. Students who opt for weight lifting and power- lifting, judo, badminton, table tennis, carom, chess will be given rigorous training, when the building of Gymnasium is fully competed and furnished.

It is in the above mentioned Endeavour that a big gymnasium is being built in the college. An office, a dressing – room and a hall are to be built there. In- door game activities as well as physical exercises will be taken there. There will be different timings for the boys and girls students. All the games activities and competitions are organized at different times for both sexes.

BEST PRACTICE II

Title of the Practice – All round welfare of girls in co-educational institution along with education.

Goal – Goal of this practice is to provide favorable environment to female students of this college, for their all- round development, encouragement and growth of their hidden talents.

Context : Though better half of the human world, women are given secondary place in society. In co-educational institutions, girls especially form village areas, find themselves isolated. They hesitate and generally restrain themselves within the classrooms and books. It can hinder their all round development. Keeping this predicament in mind the college has focused on their all – round development and hence all the activities and competitions are organized separately for them. PRACTICE - Especial endeavors are made by this co-educational institution for encouraging and

inspiring talented girls to enhance their talents. A specific cell ‘Mahila prakoshtha’ is constituted for the welfare of girls students, which organizes various activities for them, such as

95

debate, dance, hina and rangoli competitions etc. lectures of celebrities are organized and excursion- tours are arranged for their all-round development. Besides the activities of ‘Mahila Prakoshtha’ the department of games and

sports also organizes all the games and sports competitions for the girls students separately in which they participate enthusiastically. Problems encountered and resources required: - In this Endeavour of the college to awake arouse and motivate the female

student folks to actively participate in various activities, it confronts varied problems. Most of the female students are from rural areas; they hesitate and are unwilling to participate and to interact with others. Special orientation is also required for the girls to shatter the age-old myths that these games are meant for men only. Last but not the least, special dietary provisions needs to be made in the budget allocated to the sports activities of the college, in the coming academic sessions.
