EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Almost half a century ago, a group of men who had migrated to Bengal from far-away
Gujarat and made Bhawanipur, one of the oldest localities of the city, their home, thought
of founding an institution of higher education to ensure that the next generation of settlers
had access to a decent education. Though originally intended to cater to the needs of
members of a small section of the city’s population, namely the Gujarati-speaking residents
of Kolkata, it was always willing to serve others, irrespective of their language, culture,
religion or social status. The college offers a number of Under-graduate Honours programs
in four streams—Science, Arts, Commerce and Management and a Post-graduate degree
course in Commerce, all under the University of Calcutta. Over the years, this college has
matured into a well-known minority-run institution, based on the ethics of the Gujarati
community, offering value-added as well as value-based education for achieving life-long
excellence and empowerment, in a country with such diversity of language, religion, culture,
lifestyle and tradition. Though skill-development is one of the primary objectives of any
institution of higher learning, the college seeks to contribute to nation-building in its own
way by establishing itself as a centre of excellence, by ensuring that quality is the sole
hallmark characterizing it, as far as student-profile, faculty-quality, infra-structure, the
teaching-learning process, student-support, extension activities and administration are
concerned.

CRITERION 1

As an Under-graduate college, affiliated to the University of Calcutta, one of the oldest

universities of the country, the college has to follow the curriculum designed by and
prescribed by the University, which, however, upgrades and modernizes its syllabus from
time to time. Members of the teaching staff of this college have taken part in meetings
convened by the university authorities with proposals and suggestions for modification. But
beyond that, under-graduate colleges like ours, do not enjoy the freedom to design their
own courses, except in the Post-graduate course (M. Com), where the course content may
be re- designed in view of the autonomy granted, keeping in mind the current national and
global trends as well as the requirements of the job-market. Freedom in curriculum design

4
being limited, the college has therefore sought to focus its attention elsewhere, namely, on
aspects of infra-structure, multi-skill development, personality development and extension
activities. And within the fixed curricular framework, every initiative is taken to ensure that
academically weak students, for instance, are given opportunities to better themselves
through remedial classes. To supplement the academic course content, the college has
introduced a skill-development centre to enhance soft-skills of students. An Incubation
Centre, has also been set up by the college to promote the entrepreneur skills of students
There is an effective feedback system from all stakeholders to guarantee the proper
implementation of the avowed quality-policy, thereby fulfilling the needs of students from
diverse social, cultural, religious or economic backgrounds and those of the society as well.

CRITERION 2

Teaching-Learning and Evaluation is perhaps the most crucial yardstick by which an

institution of higher education may be gauged. So it is with utmost care and meticulous
planning that the admission policy and procedures have been devised, with top priority
being given to transparency. Being a minority institution, the college naturally offers certain
incentives/facilities to Gujarati-speaking candidates. But it is also open to students from all
other communities, even other nationalities, like students from Nepal, Bhutan or
Bangladesh. In all fairness and to ensure probity, transparency has been ensured at all
stages of the admission procedure for the last two years. Advertisements in the print media,
bill-boards and notifications in the college website initiate the admission process after the
publication of the I.S.C. results. The whole process is designed to make it as student-friendly
as possible. Applicants are required to fill up the on-line application, available on the college
website, provided they fulfill the university eligibility criteria. The merit list of selected
candidates is published on the web-site and on the notice-board. Selected students are
informed individually through SMS as well. The admission policy adopted also makes sure
that the college remains accessible to all classes/sections of society, including the differently
able students. The college authorities used to print the Prospectus till a couple of years ago.
But as part of our drive to create environment consciousness among students and staff
alike, and as a measure to minimize the use of paper, the printing of the college prospectus
was discontinued. But all the information previously provided by the prospectus is now

5
highlighted in the college web-site. All measures possible are taken in the interests of the
various kinds of students who enroll here. If there are ramps, lifts and wheel-chair friendly
classes for the differently able, there are exclusive girls’ sections in Arts and Commerce
Streams for girls from relatively conservative background. Scholarships on a merit-cum-need
basis are offered to students who are economically backward, or to students with physical
disabilities, whose examination fees are waived.
Once the student joins a course, the ultimate objective is to ensure that the student
progresses in the curriculum they have chosen. They are assessed regularly through written
class- assignments, mid-term tests, according t university norms, class-room discussions and
a Selection Test at the end of each year. Other modes of evaluation include student-papers,
projects, home-assignments, quiz-contests etc. Apart from academic merit, special aptitudes
in sports or the fine arts are identified, honed and encouraged through college events and
festivals. They participate in college events and represent the college in Inter-College
festivals, contribute to the wall-magazine. The Arts Section journal, Colloquium, as planned,
will have a section contributed by students to encourage their creativity, critical thinking,
research potential and life-long learning. For keeping a track of the performance of students
periodic Parent-teacher meetings are also held in some sections. Each of the endeavours is
ultimately aimed at skill-enhancement and, needless to say, perhaps, all are primarily
student-centric, whether it is intended to boost the academic proficiency of students or to
encourage the cultivation of a latent inborn talent.
The college has a well-planned, structured schedule which is maintained with the help of a
meticulously prepared Academic Calendar, which includes holidays, college and university
examination schedules, as well as sports/cultural events. Each department frames a
teaching plan through unitization of the syllabus, on the basis of which classes are allotted.
The IQAC actively supervises the teaching-learning process through suggestions regarding
improvement and expansion of existing infra-structure. This college has been one of the first
in the city to introduce computers on a large scale and encouraged both students and
teachers to take advantage of the nascent technological revolution. Both students and
teachers are provided with free inter-net facilities by the college during college hours.
Teachers today use various audio-visual aids like LCD projectors, PPT , in ICT equipped
classrooms to complement conventional teaching methods. Workshops were organized,
first, to familiarize teachers with the new technology, and later to update them with recent

6
equipment and gadgets. The fully-computerized college library, equipped with E-resources
and reprography facilities and a handful of enthusiastic and helpful staff is an asset for
teacher and student alike. Faculty members are actively urged to undertake research
projects with the help of this infra-structure. Members of the faculty attend the UGC
sponsored Orientation Programmes and Refresher Courses periodically. Almost all the
experienced teachers of the college are actively involved in the evaluation process of the
university.
The college recruits qualified and competent teachers directly, under two categories—UGC
sanctioned posts and Governing Body sanctioned posts, after a transparent selection
procedure. The latter category of teachers also enjoys annual increments, different kinds of
leaves, as part of the retention policy of the institution.

CRITERION 3

The college has a research committee to help teachers organize and participate in state and
national-level seminars and enhance the quality of research. Such research projects are
generally sponsored by the UGC in the form of grants. Moreover, the co-operative society of
the college provides educational loans for teachers in case of urgency. Students can avail
various scholarships if they submit projects, but there is very little scope for research
projects in an under-graduate college like this. But if new courses like Film Studies are
introduced, it would pave the way for an inter-disciplinary exchange of knowledge. But
teachers have consistently undertaken research work, presented and published original
work with commendable regularity. Eminent experts from various branches of knowledge
have been invited to address our students/teachers in seminars organized by different
departments of the college.
The college has a policy of inculcating social awareness and a value-system among its
students, so that it creates a generation of responsible citizens, who do not subscribe
merely to a stomach and pocket view of life. Teachers of the college have also founded a
social-welfare organization of their own, which has been functioning for several years,
raising funds to support needy, meritorious students, providing garments or woolens to
orphans, flood victims and other hapless people. Hence extension activities have been
regularly organized and encouraged as part of the ISR. Sensitization programs and protest

7
walks have been undertaken to highlight the enormity of atrocities against women. The
college has signed several MOUs with the industry for training and internship of students,
enhancing their career prospects to a great extent.
The college has received various grants from the UGC since its inception, enabling it to
expand and diversify. Further, it has received the constant patronage of the Bhawanipur
Gujarati Education Society, run and administered by a predominantly business community,
which has constantly supported the cause of higher education.

CRITERION 4

The Bhawanipur Education Society College is committed to providing the best possible infra-
structure and ambience to facilitate the ideal teaching-learning process. The campus is
spread over an area of 52 cottas (about 11001 sq m) with a manicured garden where
seasonal flowers around a fountain add to the beauty of the campus. An adequate number
of spacious, air-conditioned class-rooms, well-equipped laboratories, spacious multi-media
seminar halls, an auditorium with state-of-the-art acoustics and sound equipment,
computer labs, LCD equipped class-rooms, a canteen, common-rooms for boys and girls are
among the physical infra-structure that the college presently utilizes. But the authorities
have bought an additional 5840 sq. ft. in the south wing of the present building as well as 2
acres in Rajarhat, a few miles away from the present campus, to accommodate new courses
that may be opened in future as part of the expansion plans Since the college functions in 4
shifts: morning, day, afternoon and evening, the timings are planned carefully by avoiding
any clash of interests over classrooms or laboratories.
The college being located in the heart of the city and due to the dearth of space, uses the
grounds of the Municipal Corporation, with an understanding with Balak Sangha, for its
outdoor sports activities, under the supervision of a young and enthusiastic sports teacher
and professional coaches. As a result, the college has created a niche for itself for its skill in
sports. Yoga has also been kept as a component of the health and fitness programs,
conducted by trained personnel.
The library of any institution is a deciding factor or indicator of its quality. Our library
functions under the supervision of a committee, constituted of all departments of the
college. Steps are being taken to increase the number of working hours as far as practicable

8
so that both students and teachers have access to it at hours suitable to them. Lots of E-
resources and E- journals, subscription to INFLIBNET(N-List) have been added in the recent
past. A separate Wi-Fi facility has recently been installed there. Institutional Membership of
premier libraries like the British Council has been obtained, a facility that would benefit the
teachers, whenever required. It is also accessible to the differently able students as they can
use the 2 lifts available.
The college can justifiably boast of being one of the first colleges in the city to set up the
latest IT infra-structure with a most favorable computer-student ratio. The institution is
extremely pro-active in up-gradation and modernization of infra-structure by installing the
latest hardware and software.
The college has a maintenance department that is functional round-the-clock, thus
minimizing the inconvenience faced because of a breakdown or disruption. Complaints can
be registered on-line. There is a High Tension Connection provided by the CESC to control
fluctuations of voltage and in case of a power failure there are in-house generators which
swing into action within minutes, thus hardly affecting any academic activity. Uninterrupted
water supply is also ensured by setting up boring wells within the campus, to supplement
the water provided by the local municipality. Routine checks are carried out to ensure that
the equipment are always in perfect working condition.

CRITERION 5

Although the college was set up to promote and safeguard the interests of one section of
society, it subsequently widened its vision to encompass the entire student community. The
college is committed to its vision of a holistic approach to education in a cosmopolitan
ambience by admitting students hailing from different parts of the country and different
cultural backgrounds. Thus the college has to provide mentoring, counseling, financial or
academic assistance and career guidance to students in a systematic manner keeping in
mind their differences of background and opportunity. Particular emphasis is laid on skill-
development so that the university graduates find themselves to be ready for today’s job-
market. The college has set up a language lab where software is used to disseminate soft-
skills to students. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Diksha that
would train candidates from the college to appear in competitive examinations like CAT,

9
GRE GMAT, TOEFL etc. the college has even arranged for training of students in
entrepreneurship, conducted by the Government of India and introducing courses in
collaboration with NIESBUD (National Institute for Entrepreneurship & Small Business
Development) to hone entrepreneurial skills among students. The Incubation Centre is also
a step in the same direction. To ensure that there is a propitious academic environment in
the college, which virtually becomes a second home for them for 2 to 3 years, the
authorities have set up separate cells to deal with grievances, ragging, sexual harassment. It
is not surprising therefore that the attachment with the college remains, which is
demonstrated by their eagerness to join the alumni association.

CRITERION 6

Guided by the vision of preserving Gujarati cultural and linguistic heritage and provide
excellence and employability through value-based and value-added education, the college is
persistently pursuing the goal of improving its infra-structure, through expansion plans,
modernization of available teaching-learning resources, encouragement of faculty to
acquire the required skills to meet the challenges of technology. Ultimately, the college is
committed to its avowed quality policy of producing employable graduates, realizing the
innate potential of students, inculcating social values and self-confidence, develop
leaders/entrepreneurs for the future and empowering women.
The Governing body of the college plays a constructive role to frame administrative and
academic policies and plans, which are communicated to all stakeholders and all levels of
the administrative hierarchy, through periodic meetings of the various committees, parent-
teacher meetings, inter-actions with the industry, alumni meetings etc. The Principal, Vice-
principal and Heads of Departments ensure that information is transmitted to the top
management through the system of Self-appraisal and student-feedback. Accordingly, the
response received from the feedback is dealt with and appropriate action taken by the
IQAC. The committees promote a propitious atmosphere both for the students through a
system of remedial classes, mentoring and various supplementary training programmes, and
for the faculty through research opportunities and faculty empowerment programmes
through various consultancies. It is also the institution’s constant endeavour to attract
eminent faculty, many of whom visit the B.B.A. Section from time to time. Both Students

10
and staff enthusiastically volunteer in community engagements and have spontaneously
contributed both in cash and in kind whenever there is any calamity or to promote welfare
in the community.
The utilization of various resources is ensured by effective mechanisms adopted by the
college. Auditing of accounts is done regularly after due evaluation and cross-checking of
accounts by the Secretary of the Governing Body. The method of internal audit helps detect
errors and discrepancies.

CRITERION 7

The college is located in the heart of a congested city with a high level of air and sound
pollution. So as citizens suffering daily from environmental hazards, both the staff and the
students are conscious of the need for a drive to clean and conserve our environment and
its limited resources. Despite the constraints of space and in the present campus, we have
planted many trees like bamboo-shoots, Ivy, Daisy, Lily, and corn which compensate for the
carbon emissions and heighten carbon neutrality. The central courtyard of the college also
has a manicured lawn with a variety of seasonal flowers, maintained by a professional
gardener to make it an Eco-friendly zone. The hazardous waste from the Science
laboratories is treated in an suitable treatment plant by a competent Waste Management
Agency, named Enviro Systems & Equipment Incorporated, before the waste is disposed of.
Among the best practices of the college mention must be made of the introduction of On-
line admissions in the last couple of years, which has made the procedure completely
transparent and far more convenient for applicants. Furthermore, this also minimized the
use of paper, which is in the best interests of the deteriorating global environment.
Secondly, as an institution founded for the preservation of Gujarati cultural heritage and
identity, that is among the core activities of the college. Gujarati children, settled in Kolkata,
are in the risk of being alienated from their own language and culture as it is not part of
their curriculum. Therefore, the management has arranged special Gujarati language classes
for such children, free of cost, to strengthen their bonds with their mother tongue and to
expose them to the riches of Gujarati literature and culture. This helps them retain their
distinctive cultural identity, coping competently with the demands of a multi-cultural
cosmopolitan milieu.

 SWOC ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS:
The chief strength of the College lies in its aim which imparts liberal education which helps
in bringing about a holistic development of the personalities of the students, making them
self reliant. The College believes in the doctrine- learn while you earn-and this gives our
students not only the liberty of an exhaustive curriculum but help them to become self
sufficient. The College is committed to maintain a good academic standard in a non
politicized environment. The outstanding features of the College are the harmonious and
integrated co-existence of students hailing from different parts of the country, speaking
different languages and having different cultural backgrounds. The College makes all efforts
to provide student support mechanisms such as medical checkups and health counseling
services, career guidance, free-ships based on need-cum-merit basis. The infrastructural
facilities available in the college such as smart classrooms, Wi-Fi enabled campus, CCTV
surveillance system; benefits of cloud campus make the ambience of the College conducive
for the teaching- learning process. In addition to all these, the prime location of the college
makes it easily accessible to students from the city as well as the suburbs.

WEAKNESS:
The main weakness of the college lies in the absence of academic inclination amongst many
students.

OPPORTUNITIES:
The College encourages students to participate in various seminars, debates at regional and
national levels. As a part of the co curricular courses students are also motivated to take
active participation in creative writing, group discussion, panel discussions and public
speaking. The students are also exposed to various workshops conducted by eminent
personalities to learn the best practices of the industry.

CHALLENGES:
The foremost challenge that the College has faced from the very beginning is the paucity of
space. As a result the students cannot be provided with any playground within the campus.
It is also an obstacle to expansion programmes. As a result of which the authorities have
been compelled to purchase another plot of land to set up its satellite campus.

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

Students have the opportunity to see their evaluated answer scripts to enable them to
improve their future performance. Such a transparent evaluation system also ensures the
fairness of the evaluative process. Although strict discipline is sought to be maintained both
inside and outside the classroom, the evaluation practices of the affiliating University does
not offer any scope for weightage to be assigned to anything other than subject knowledge.

2.5.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation as an

indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and
planning? If ‘yes’ provide details on the process and cite a few examples.

The institution and individual teachers use evaluation as an indicator for evaluating
performance of the students, achievement of learning objectives and planning in the
following ways:
• Result Meetings Department-wise/Section-wise result meetings to analyse students’
performance and attainment of learning objectives are convened by the Departmental
Heads and students are advised on the basis of their performance.
• Attendance Register At the very onset, of an academic year, to discipline the students,
a record of attendance is maintained in the institution. This inculcates the habit of
punctuality and accountability in the students.
• Practical Experiments Performance of the students in the laboratory experiments
throws light on their understanding of the theoretical concepts and application of it.
This exercise leads to greater conceptual clarity.
• Projects Project activities are undertaken in the institution as per the Calcutta
University guidelines. Such project activities are able to make the students enthusiastic
learners and improve their analytical abilities.
• Group Activities Several group activities are organised particularly at different
departmental levels to foster the spirit of co-operation among the students and nurture
their decision making abilities.

73
2.5.8 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation
both at the college and University level?

The college abides by the rules and regulations of the Calcutta University with respect to
redress of any grievances regarding evaluation. Dissatisfied students can apply for review
with prescribed fees, with respect to which forms are available and are forwarded by the
Principal of the college. After re-evaluation the university issues fresh mark sheets to those
students via the college. Students are informed after publication of the review results
through the college website.

74
2.6 STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘Yes’ give details on how
the students and staff are made aware of these?

Yes.
Producing employable graduates, inculcating social values and self-confidence, developing
leaders, entrepreneurs and lifelong learners for the future, are some of the general learning
outcomes which form a part of the educational philosophy of the college.

2.6.2 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution
structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?

The teaching, learning strategies may differ according to the programme in question, but
certain quality parameters and expected graduate attributes are kept in mind. The process
of continuous evaluation and feedback based on classroom discussions/debates as well as
assessment during class tests and examinations is common to all departments. The students
are introduced to the spirit of questioning and analyzing through seminars, projects, wall
magazines and departmental publications. Teaching methodology may differ according to
the expected learning outcomes in each subject. Some differentiated areas of emphasis are
detailed below.
Co-curricular activities also play their part in the development of young adults into
responsible citizens. Sporting events give them a measure of competitiveness while
inculcating the spirit of fair play and team-work. The various college festivals provide a
platform to hone and benchmark their talents even as they test the organizational
capabilities of the students.

75
2.6.3 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social
and economic relevance (quality jobs, entrepreneurship, innovation and research
aptitude) of the courses offered?

The college is bound by the syllabi of the affiliating University, and does not enjoy the
autonomy of framing or modifying the syllabus. Some measures like personality
development programmes, entrepreneurship development training and communication
skills courses are offered in addition to the syllabi in order to augment the economic
relevance of the courses. Two exclusive sections for girls are run with the express purpose
of empowering women through education.

2.6.4 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student learning outcomes and
use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

Analysis of the results of University examinations as well as student feedback on the course
content and delivery is taken seriously. The opinions of guardians during parent-teacher
meetings are also kept in mind while evaluating the efficacy of the course.

2.6.5 How does the institution monitor and ensures the achievement of learning
outcomes?

Result analysis and feedback provides the measure of the immediate learning outcomes of
the students, while continued contact with the alumni and their achievements are used to
understand how far the stated learning outcomes have been met in terms of their overall
development.

2.6.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/ (affiliating university)?
How does the college ensure the attainment of these by students?

The affiliating university has not specified any graduate attributes. The college has
formulated its own graduate attributes which are employability, entrepreneurship, lifelong
learning and sensitive global citizenship.

76
The institution fosters the development of graduate attributes through engaged enquiry, a
rich co-curricular experience, students’ participation in the vibrant intellectual and social life
of the college, and the learning experiences of their course and diverse extra-curricular
activities made available to them.

3.4 RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS AND AWARDS

3.4.1 Highlight the major research achievements of the staff and students in terms of

• Patents obtained and filed (process and product): Nil

• Original research contributing to product improvement: NA
• Research studies or surveys benefiting the community or improving the services: The
institution has encouraged students to conduct surveys in different areas of the city to
study the existing civic facilities and social structure related to sanitation and women
empowerment.
• Research inputs contributing to new initiatives and social development: Some of the
faculty members have been actively involved in UGC sponsored minor research projects
since last 7-8 years. The projects, she has undertaken have exclusively focussed on those
aspects of Bengali folk songs and dance which are almost on the verge of becoming
extinct. The various projects undertaken have staunchly concentrated on the
multifarious ways the NGOs are taking advantage of these skilled but poverty-stricken
performers.
 The project on “Jhumur Shilpis” of Baghmundi tells us that even amidst extreme
poverty and constraints of old age, Jhumur shilpi Mihirlal Singhdeo still practises the
Jhumur songs and has even taken the pain to teach and train the young generation.
The youth’s keen interest portrays that it is not the glittering of the modern world
that fascinates them rather it is their yearnings to keep their heritage and tradition
alive, which makes them stand out in the crowd.
 The project on the “Nachni Shilpi” like Saraswati and Postubala of Chorida village of
Purulia focuses on the extreme self-determination of these dancers. It is
commendable that they have refused to compromise with the neo-liberal market
economy; instead of getting involved in the practice of prostitution they have
preferred to earn their livelihood through various stage performances in Kolkata and
nearby places, although the earnings still remain paltry.
 The project on “Natua Shilpi” of Purulia has been an endeavour to restore the lost
socio-cultural eminence of these arts apart from the “Chou Dance”, which is already
a widely acclaimed dance form of rural West Bengal.

96
  The major purpose of all these projects is to make an effort to provide the financial
assistance to all these economically challenged performers and increase the social
awareness regarding the significance of these forms of songs and dance as the
integral part of traditional Bengali art and culture.

3.4.2 Does the institute publish or partner in publication of research journal(s)? If yes,

Counseling Cell of the college are in the process of framing blueprints of policies that would
create a strong industry institute interface. The college has a career opportunities cell &
Industry Institute Partnership Cell to promote industry-institution interface and create
future economic leaders. The college has thus undertaken various events in the last few
years, namely-
• To encourage future entrepreneurs who would lead the economic development of the
country a workshop on Business Plan Presentation by students was organized by the
college.
• To build industry- economic insight of the students a seminar on the Real Estate Industry
was organized where eminent industrial personalities like Mr Sanjay Jhunjhunwalla,
owner of the Mani Group, and Mr Pradeep Chopra, Director, PS Group, discussed on the
scope of the industry and its future in terms of profitability.
• Experts from the National Stock Exchange were invited to explain and answer questions
from the students about the operations of the Indian stock exchange.
• In association with the Institute of Company Secretaries, a union budget meet was
organized to discuss the nuances of the Central budget to the students on the day the
union budget 2013 was placed in the Parliament by the Finance Minister of India.

The College believes that the all round development of a young mind is incumbent upon
learning to become a socially responsible citizen. In keeping with this principle the college
organizes various programmes to help the marginalized sections of the community. Some of
the most recent activities undertaken by the college as a part of its community development
programme are:
• The college management distributed goodie bags to underprivileged children invited
from the NGO Save the Children and CINI Urban Unit.
• The students and faculty of the Department of Arts in collaboration with the NGO, Our
World Our Initiative, distributed blankets to pavement dwellers in Kolkata.
• On the International Women’s Day 2013, the students and faculty members participated
in the Silent Walk organized by JD Birla Institute, Kolkata in association with the I-Lead

skills which hold them in good stead in future.

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the overall performance
and quality of the institution?

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES:

LEARNING FOR LEADERSHIP AND LIBERAL VALUES — ‘THE BHAWANIPUR’

187
7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS:

7.1.1 Does the institute conduct a green audit of its campus and facilities?

The college does not have a formal system of green auditing as such, but, constant effort is
exerted to make the institute ecologically sound and worthy for green audit. An overall
Environmental Planning, though not in a formal or official mode, exists in the entire college
campus including each Department. Naturally, some expenditure is incurred to make the
campus eco-friendly which includes:
a) plantation and greenery,
b) proper drainage and sewerage management,
c) hazardous laboratory waste management,
d) e-waste management,
e) Proper fire-exhausting system,
f) Safe and filtered water supply everywhere in the providing basic life support,
g) Regular cleaning up of toilets, washroom and laboratories by a group of
professional people,
h) Proper in-campus waste disposal,
i) Round-the-clock security control by a group of professional security persons
working into three shifts throughout the year,
j) Common room equipped with computers and some sports arrangement.

All these measures ensure in-campus environment eco-friendly as well as sound for socio-
cultural wellbeing of the students.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

To achieve the goal of making the campus eco-friendly the institution has incorporated
some effective measures on the following criteria:

188
a) Energy Conservation:
Almost the entire campus, only excluding the open corridors and lawn, is air-conditioned
which consumes higher than normal electricity during summer. To compensate the energy
consumption:
• Air conditioners remain switched off during non-working hours and winters under
strict supervision by three persons on each floor.
• All computers remain centrally disconnected immediately after the class-hours.
• Sufficient number of LED lights has been introduced in all classrooms to minimise the
energy bill in the campus.

b) Efforts for carbon-neutrality :

The Institution does not have any conventional measure for carbon-neutrality as a whole.
But as an effective step to balance carbon emission the following measures have been
incorporated:
1. Restoration of campus greenery including a small garden with variety of season
flowers amidst the central lawn is maintained very strictly throughout the year.
2. In addition, all the corridors of the campus have hanging baskets or pots with different
types of bushy plants and creepers enriched in ecological value. Plants like Bamboo
shoot, Ivy, Daisy, Corn plant, Lily, etc. are mainly selected considering their air
purifying capacity and those offer clean air removing Formaldehyde, Benzene and
Carbon Monoxide.

c) Plantation:
The Institution is maintaining a lush green lawn with variety of season flowers and a
picturesque fountain amidst. Moreover, hanging pots with different ecologically valuable
bushy plants and creepers like Bamboo shoot, Ivy, Daisy, Corn plant, Lily, etc. along the
corridors purify air as well as maintain carbon balance in the surroundings. Sufficient
expenditure is incurred in maintenance of the greenery appointing a number of expert
gardeners. It symbolises eco-consciousness as well as aesthetic sense of the college.

d) Hazardous waste management:

Two big laboratories of Physics (area- 2000 sq.ft, approx.) and Chemistry (area- 1600 sq.ft
approx.,) are conscious about the need for proper treatment of their lab-wastes.

189
♦ Physics laboratory produces solid lab-waste which is regularly segregated item-wise,
labelled, scrapped and disposed of the campus through specific vendors of Kolkata
Municipal Corporation.

♦ Chemistry laboratory generates running chemical waste (aqueous and non- aqueous)
which is treated before being disposed of as effluents. A competent Waste
Management Agency named Enviro Systems & Equipment Incorporated has been
entrusted with the responsibility of effluent treatment with the installation of adequate
treatment plant. Treatment remains in operation once in a month to keep the campus
free of hazardous wastes.

♦ Both laboratories are spacious, airy and well-ventilated to keep the in-lab environment
eco-friendly for the students as well as teachers and lab-workers.

♦ The campus is declared as ‘No Plastic Zone’ and ‘No Tobacco Zone’ in order to ensure
that the campus environment is free of pollution.

♦ Jute bags are used for gift purpose in various college festivals to avoid plastic and
promote this ‘golden fibre’ of West Bengal.

♦ Bamboo shoots in jute hangers are presented as memento to the guests and visitors in
various college programmes. This is a novel step to encourage bio-conservation as well
as eco-friendliness.

e) E-waste Management:
The Computer and Electronics laboratories are also well-equipped in terms of e-waste
management. E-waste is found to be treated at a regular interval in the following way:
♦ The Physics laboratory generates solid e-waste containing diodes, chip, transistors, dry
cell etc. which is segregated, collected in separate bags, labelled and disposed of
through specific collectors of Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
♦ This apart, partially used monitors, CPUs, etc. from Computer Laboratory are
sometimes donated to needy organisations as a step towards social work by the
Institute. E-waste from this laboratory is also segregated, labelled and disposed of
accordingly through specific collectors of Kolkata Municipal Corporation.

7.2 INNOVATIONS:

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created
a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

 The college authority has introduced online admission system which has proved highly
beneficial to all the college students, professors concerned as well as the administrative
staff attached to the admission process. As this college admits a large number of
students into its three shifts (morning, day and afternoon) in several subjects in Arts,
Commerce and Science, the introduction of the Online Admission System has offered
great ease, transparency and effecient time management in the entire admission
procedure.

 In order to promote a research culture in the college, Rs. 10,00,000 is to be allotted

every year to promote research publications. Rs.10,000 for each international
publication, Rs.5000 for national and Rs.2000 for each regional publication is allotted
which can be claimed by members of the teaching faculty.

 The college authority has recently introduced CC TV at all the entry points, every
classroom, all staff rooms and college offices for proper surveillance of its valuable
resources and strict maintenance of discipline within institutional boundaries. 347 CC
TV cameras are helping in eradicating chances of any malpractice occurring anywhere
within the college campus. This ensures the security of the students, staff and the
college property. Above all, this is also a measure to ensure security for women on the
campus.

 Automation of the College Central Library has been completed. The entire library
system inclusive of cataloguing is digitised. This will be highly beneficial to the students
in all the disciplines offered by the Institution. ‘Cloud campus’ has been very recently
introduced into our central library. Faculty and students are provided with personal
password to enjoy this facility to consult huge stock of e-journals and e-books (almost
50,000) for study as well as research benefit.

191
 Bio-metric record of attendance has been introduced in a phased manner to keep the
attendance of the teaching as well as the non-teaching staff in our server’s data base.
This is also helpful in running the college administration smoothly and efficiently.

 I-Card, with unique identification number is issued to every enrolled student in order
to keep track of his/her digitised records. It is essential to carry this card to enter the
campus and sit for all college examinations. Students’ performance in college and
university examinations will also be stored very shortly in the college data base server.

 Very recently, the institution has stored academic and professional details of the entire
faculty and other college staff in the data base and issued individual Identity Cards to
all. This has made the administration system more efficient through systematic record
keeping.

 Adoption of ICT has rendered the teaching learning process more interactive.

 Entrepreneurship is encouraged and supported through the Incubation Centre.

 Initiatives for interface with industry have resulted in MOUs with Toyota Kirloskar,
NIESBUD, NSE, The Ganges Jute Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and SYSCOTECH for industrial
training.

 The college has recently constituted a Career Opportunities Cell for guiding the
students towards their future goals. Expert faculty comprising subject teachers is
available there in different shifts for the students desiring to be advised.

192
7.3 BEST PRACTICES

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices 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 PRACTICE - I
Title of the Practice: Liberal Education System and Harmonisation with emphasis on
Gujarati Community

Goal/Aim:
 The college aims at imparting liberal education which helps in developing the total
personality of Gujarati students and in bringing about all round growth of their
personality, thereby making them self -reliant.
 The college is committed to maintaining a good academic standard and nurturing the
Gujarati Language in a non-politicized environment.
 The institution helps in maintaining harmonious and integrated co-existence of
Gujarati students and the others hailing from different parts of the country, speaking
different languages and having different cultural backgrounds.
 The college seeks to foster the preservation of the cultural traditions of the Gujaratis.

The Context:
The Institution strives to maintain high educational as well as socio-cultural standard of the
Gujarati society, living far from their native place in this city of Kolkata as they belong to the
linguistic minority community in the state of West Bengal. This idea is at the core of the
Mission and Vision of the Institution.

193
The Practice:
a) 280 Gujarati students of the current session regularly attend the Gujarati language
classes every day as a mandatory practice.
b) The language course is for the duration of 7 months.
c) Cultural programmes, theatre festivals, Garba dance, fashion show showcasing the
best of Gujarati textiles and fashions, are organized for developing proficiency in the
language and preserving the cultural roots of the community.
d) Various programmes are regularly organised in order to inculcate a sense of social
responsibility in the youth of the community.

Evidence of Success:

 Gujarati Cultural Programme was organised on 31st August, 2013 with the events like
drama, Ras-Garba, Fashion Show and Recitation. Forty students participated and their
efforts were lauded by all.
 Distribution of Certificates took place on 8th February, 2014 in the 2nd Floor
Auditorium followed by lunch. 200 students participated in the programme.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

 A further analysis is required regarding Gujarati student’s needs and performance over
the years.
 Annual performance-based self-appraisal report can be submitted to the Person in
Charge.
 Some more effective programmes are to be taken to develop the cultural cohesion
among the Gujarati students and to motivate them in participating in these
programmes in higher number.
 Feedback forms may be given to the students on completion of the Gujarati Language
Course, in order to ensure a dynamic procedure of self-improvement, as the Institution
upholds the motto of ‘Education for Excellence’.

194
BEST PRACTICE - II
Title of the Practice: Online Admission System as a novel successful practice

Goal/Aim:

 With the passage of time this Institution deals with the admission of higher number
of students. It is committed to offer advanced technology ensuring more ease,
expertise and transparency in such a tedious admission process
 The institution aims to complete the entire admission process without any social and
administrative inconvenience.
 The institution also targets to finish the process in as short as possible a time so that
the newly enrolled students join their classes as quickly as possible.

The Context:
Recently colleges in West Bengal have faced many untoward incidents during college
admissions which are highly detrimental to the educational and socio-cultural heritage of
the state as well as the city of Kolkata, as a seat of learning in India. On witnessing this
scenario, the college has adopted a policy of social commitment to complete its yearly
admission process hazard-free, smooth, speedy and transparent as a trend-setter in this
regard. In order to achieve this goal, the institute has introduced Online Admission System
from the year 2012-2013.

The Practice:

a. Online Admission System is proved to be the most suitable process of admission for
this college dealing with an increasing number of students taking admission every
year. It results in a most systematic preparation of a List of Students admitted.
b. This system maintains ‘transparency’ which is the most desired aspect in the whole
admission system in the state of West Bengal.
c. It offers the most convenient method of the retrieval of admission related data.
d. It also helps in time management in dealing with such a huge dataset.

195
e. Online Admission System is also proved to be eco-friendly as it saves huge paper
materials.
f. Finally, it is the most student-friendly admission process in all respect.

Evidence of Success:

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

Strengths
• Absolute commitment of the teachers to the task of holding regular classes and
covering the syllabus in detail so that students have no real need to seek additional
tuition outside the institution.
• Cultural diversity of the students creates an ambience in which students learn to
appreciate one another’s traditions, thereby shedding narrow parochial instincts.
• Experienced, qualified and highly competent faculty who remain accessible to all the
students.
• Mentoring and constant encouragement to students of diverse capabilities is a task
taken very seriously by the faculty.
• Excellent student-teacher relationship.
• Peaceful and congenial atmosphere.
• Emphasis on enhancing communication skills of the students through interactive
classes.
• Emphasising the role of the teachers in serving as role models for inculcating the
values of punctuality, discipline and honesty which are considered to be lifelong
lessons.
• Regular monitoring of students’ performance and feedback.
• Parent – Teacher interface.
• Continuing link between the faculty and students who pass out of the department.

Weaknesses

• The large number of students in each class means that it is a challenge for the
teachers to engage all the students with equal intensity.
• A significant number of the students are from orthodox families and some of them
have to be motivated to attend classes. On some occasions parents too have to be
counselled.
• Many outstation students seek admission in our college. It becomes difficult to guard
them from the impact of the changed socio-cultural set up they find themselves in,
and, thus, make them focus upon their academics.
• Arranging group activities become a challenge when the class is so big.

Opportunities

• Proper utilization of the recently introduced Language Lab to enhance the

communicative skills of the students.
• Exploring the possibility of interaction with professionals who will be able to
expound on the possibilities of future prospects.
• Organizing inter-departmental seminars.
• Encouraging more participation in the students’ seminars.

Challenges

• Motivating students to pursue higher studies in English

• Generating awareness about the relevance of liberal arts in this age of multimedia
and technology
• Competing with the upcoming private institutes which offer an apparently more
direct course of possible future opportunities for the students.

Roadmap for the future

• Introduction of the Post Graduate programme.

• Increased interaction between alumni and present students.
• Arranging a separate journal for the publication of students’ papers and reflections.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plans:

Strength:-
1. Small and compact department
2. More intensive interaction with students
3. Students receive more personal care.

Weakness:-
1. Fear psychosis related to learning of dates from school onwards.
2. Students doubtful of future career options.

Opportunities:-
1. Students have to be made aware of the number of possibilities like school teaching,
journalism, further studies in fields like archaeology, museology, social history, art
history, appearing for competitive examinations, etc.

Challenge:-
1. Changing the existing mindset regarding history as a ‘dead subject’.

STRENGTH

BBA is a professional course offered by University of Calcutta as distinguished by academic

courses by BA, B.Sc, B.Com etc, as the entry level for selection is minimum 55% in plus 2
level and the selection process including GDPI by professionals and university experts
because of the specialized management course curriculum along with compulsory
internship and project work which gives an added edge to this graduation course than
others.

WEAKNESS

A professional course run by an affiliated Commerce college finds it difficult to manage the
infrastructure & recourses of a private B-School through Bhawanipur College is equipped
with AC class rooms, OHP, smart computer labs etc but it cannot offer the private laptops
like the other private b-school.

OPPURTUNITY

Bhawanipur college has successfully offered students employability after graduation & BBA
has strengthened this opportunity, given the market demand for middle order managers our
students get successful employment by companies like Delloite India, HSBC, RBS, IBM &
such others.

THREAT

States of the art private B-School is mushrooming everyday & there is threat of foreign
universities setting campus in India. Therefore it will be a tough job to compete with them in
terms of investment, infrastructure & academic quality assurance.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

Strength
1. Dedicated and hard-working faculty members
2. Conducive academic environment.
Since the department is at a nascent stage with only 2 years of operation, it is too
early to detect its weaknesses.

Weakness
Student Teacher Ratio needs improvement.

Opportunity & Future Plans

The Department wants to create a research orientation among the students with the
help of the R & D Cell of the college. Implementing mandatory industrial training is
also in the pipeline in future.
