towards the highest peak with all its ingredients and components in its way. In the good old days education was confined to a small section of elite people and that too, with conventional means and methods. Now highly sophisticated modern technological method and devices have rightly replaced the old ones. Ours is a rural college, which was established in 1970, in the name of Swahid Peoli Phukan, the first martyr from Assam of the struggle of Independence of India. The college was affiliated to the Dibrugarh University and subsequently got registration under 2(f) and 12 (B) of the UGC Act of 1956. The college has made considerable progress from its inception and got accredited by NAAC in 2004 and obtained „B‟ Grade. On the recommendation of NAAC Peer Team, 2004, the college has started both Science and Commerce Streams. As per guidelines, provided by NAAC, A Self Study Report has been prepared by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the college. Proper emphasis has been given in all the aspects of the SSR as far as possible. It is our sincere endeavor to project the real picture of the needs and deeds as contemplated for the all round development of the college in future. We offer our hearty thanks to the faculty members who have directly or indirectly helped in preparing this report. (Mr. Ranjan Kumar Phookan) (Dr. S. S.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength: The history department of SPP College is having three full time well experienced and qualified faculty members with and one part time lecturer. There is a departmental library with more than five hundred books. Every year the department brings good result. As the department also runs diploma in Travel and Tourism Management, the students get duel opportunity of doing B.A. in history and the diploma simultaneously. Weakness: Admission to the history department is less in comparison to other departments. Thus student-teacher ratio is poor. More often the department admits less meritorious students. The department needs one more regular full time teacher to be a full-fledged department.

Title of the Practice The title should capture the keywords that describe the Practice. a. Introduction of science and commerce streams in 2008 b. Introduction of a series of skill based courses which have attracted the students and gave opportunities to them to get jobs in different sectors. c. d. e. f. g. h. 2.

Mention the underlying principles or concepts in about 100 words. The main aim of the practice followed by the institution is to uplift the backward socio-cultural and educational conditions of the locality with the esteemed goal of disseminating quality education and making the institution a pioneering one offering utmost service to the society and the nation. The main aims of the practice may be listed as follows: 7. Generating human resource to serve the country. 8. Creation of knowledge oriented society. 9. Promote employability of the resources. 10. Communal harmony. 11. Environmental awareness. 12. Facilitating extracurricular, co-curricular activities and extension programmes. 3. The Context Describe any particular contextual features or challenging issues that have had to be addressed in designing and implementing the Practice in about 150 words. Under the direction of the Government of Assam, the colleges of the state have to run the H.S. (10+2) courses along with the degree classes. Thus, for colleges it has become an additional burden. For smooth running of a Degree College, the H.S. Classes should be delinked. Delinking of H.S. Classes will give enough time to the faculty members in engaging research works and also to devote for the uplift of the degree students. Being located in rural and backward areas, most of the students of the college belong to economically poor families. Again the college has to accommodate almost all applicants without considering the quality of the students. Thus, it NAAC for Quality and Excellence in Higher Education------------------------------------------------ 204 Self Study Report of Swahid Peoli Phukan College, Namti becomes a challenge for the college to show excellent results in the examinations. 4. The Practice Describe the Practice and its implementation in about 400 words. Include anything about this practice that may be unique in the Indian higher education. Please also identify constraints or limitations, if any. SPP College emphasizes special attention to nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temperament among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators. In order to create scientific temperament, the college invites renowned scientists and innovators and social thinkers of national and international repute to interact with the students and faculty members. Personalities like Uddhab Bharali, Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer, Prof. Ram Puniyani, Prof. Samir Kumar Das, Prof. Paula Banerjee and many more have delivered lectures in our college and interacted with the students and faculties. Our students are engaged in creative activities like, Youth Sensitization Programmes on communal harmony, Seminars, workshops, conferences, field visits, sports activities, etc. To give exposer, the students are taken on educational excursions. Students of the college are encouraged to write and publish departmental wall magazines. They are encouraged to write articles, poems, stories, etc. in college magazines, magazines published by other publishers, daily news papers, etc. Our students are encouraged to participate in knowledge gathering competitions like Quiz, Debate, Extempore Speech, Drama, Music, etc. All these help students to develop critical thinking, creativity and scientific temperament among the students and make them lifelong learners and innovators. In carrying out the above mentioned practices college has to face financial constraint from time to time. Another major problem faced by the college is the poor route condition of the locality. Lack of proper infrastructure facilties in this rural area compels the college authority to make alternative accommodation arrangements for the guest faculties and participants of different programmes organized by the college. 5. Evidence of Success Provide evidence of success such as performance against targets and benchmarks and review results. What do these results indicate? Describe in about 200 words. SPP College is aware of the changing realities of the globe. To make our students ready to face such challenges, the college has set up a CareerGuidance Cell that trains the aspirants for job markets. About 80 trainee of the Cell have cleared TET exam and got jobs. The Career Guidance Cell of the college has also launched a series of career oriented Skill Development Programmes which will open new avenues. The college has been producing Best Graduates and highest marks scorers NAAC for Quality and Excellence in Higher Education------------------------------------------------ 205 Self Study Report of Swahid Peoli Phukan College, Namti under the Dibrugarh University from time to time. Many of our students have cracked various competitive exams and have become successful professionals. Many of our students are teaching in universities and colleges. The college also encourages our students and other neighboring youth to take up sports as career of life. It has become successful in producing National and International Sports personalities like Kakoli Phukan, Champak Dutta, etc. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Please identify the problems encountered and resources (Financial, Human and other) required to implement the practice in about 150 words. The College is yet to develop to achieve its expectations. It needs modern infrastructure and facilities required for opening Post Graduate Departments and other courses. All these require sound finance and human resources. However, if finance is available, new courses can be started hiring human resources. But the college‟s only fund generating sources are UGC Grants, Grants from the state and Students‟ Fee. The college cannot charge more fee from the poor students enrolled. Whatever amount is granted by the UGC and the State Government is also not sufficient to meet the demands of the college. 7. Notes (Optional) Any other information that may be relevant and important to the reader for adopting/ implementing the Best Practice in their institution (about 150 words). The University Grants Commission should give more special packages to the rural based colleges and introduce job oriented courses so that the poor students of the nation get more opportunity to face the challenges of the global world. 8.
