Place: Allahabad Principal Date : 23-09-2014 Dr. Pramila Tandon 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND SWOC ANALYSIS Criterion I: Curricular Aspects The College was established in the year 1975 as an extension of Gauri Pathshala Inter College (established in 1904) in the thick locality of Malviya Nagar (Ahiyapur), the birthplace of Bharat Ratna Rajarshi Purshottam Das Tandon, Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya and Pt. Bal Krishna Bhatt with the aim to educate and empower the girls of this area who were unable to continue higher education. The college was established by Smt Rani Tandon, the daughter in law of Rajarshi Purshottam Das Tandon and presently it is blessed to have Dr Shashi Tandon ,Rajarshiji’s grand daughter in law as the Chairperson of the Governing Body of the college .Vision and Mission of the college is to provide higher education of excellent quality and to empower them so that they may become self dependent responsible citizen of the nation. The College began with BA course with subjects Hindi, Sanskrit, English, Education, Music (Instrumental) Music Vocal, Political Science, Economics, Ancient History and was affiliated to the University of Allahabad .It attained Central status and became a Constituent College of the University of Allahabad in year 2005 . NAAC Team visited the college in the year 2004 for the first cycle and thereafter got the ‘B’ grade. The effective implementation of the curriculum is done methodically according to the teaching plan through use of traditional and modern methodology. To keep the curriculum up to date and relevant to the needs of society, the university revises it. The teachers are members of the university bodies who also communicate the feedback of the students of the college. The college also invites experts to enhance the knowledge of the students through the Lecture Series Lectures by senior faculty of the affiliating university on specific topics generally interdisciplinary in nature are conducted. Facilities for providing computer skills exist in the college. There is a feed-back mechanism. 6 Criterion II: Teaching-Learning and Evaluation: An Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established in accordance with the guidelines provided by the NAAC soon after the accreditation in July 2005.Since then the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) is being sent .The IQAC plans out and ensures quality enhancement. I Q A C plays a vital role in fostering and stimulating academic environment together with including a value system in students and instilling a Guest for excellence. This self evaluating system ensures accountability and progressive attitude. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) meets periodically to discuss the various issues regarding teaching-learning and evaluation. The process of admitting students is transparent and is conducted by the University,(UGAT). Due to decreasing trend in student strength admission is done both from the College as well as the University Admission Counter. The admission policy of the University too is responsible to a large extent .The University at the onset of the new system of admission began with admitting all the students of all colleges from the University counter. Almost all the seats were then filled .But thereafter they changed the system whereby the UGAT continued but all colleges had to admit their own students. In the year 2009, 54% seats of OBC were increased thereby increasing seats in all Colleges. Consequently all the colleges including the Allahabad University faces crisis in admitting students in BA Course. Our college is worst affected. Other reasons that have come to the forefront for the decreasing strength are that the name of the college is confused with Uttar Pradesh Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad commonly referred to as Rajarshi Tandon. Besides this the college is situated in a thickly populated area where it is difficult to commute. It is also not well connected with public transport. For girl candidates seeking admission there are a total of ten colleges besides the University. Of these colleges five are only Girls Colleges. So they get ample opportunity of admission. This over the years has resulted in reduction on the number of students admitted. Various and consistent efforts are made by the teaching faculty to improve the intake of students. The Principal requests the Vice Chancellor to condone this and ease the policy for the college but to no avail. Scholarship by the State Government is given to economically weak students. For a well-rounded development of students, the college offers a proper blend of academics and Co-curricular activities The academic progress of a student is carefully and continuously monitored. Great emphasis is laid on continuous internal evaluation through written work and interaction in class and through Home Examination. The college prepares annual academic calendar. The 7 teaching-learning method is student-centred. Educational Tour is conducted whereby the students visit Historical places. Criterion III: Research, Consultancy and Extension: One Minor Research Project has been completed through grant received from UGC.

Special efforts are made to instill moral and ethical values in the students. NSS activities make the students aware of their social responsibility. All the students are assessed through class work, interaction in class and the Home Examination. Great emphasis is laid on improving the performance of slow learners.

BEST PRACTICE -1 Title VALUE EDUCATION Goal : Imparting value education to empower the girls with moral values so that they may become responsible citizens of India. The world today is moving towards consumerism and globalistion thus affecting the values of the youth in a negative way. The changing scenario is dangerous for human life as it is impeding growth of those moral and ethical values that are essential 119 for peace and prosperity. Society is generating youth that is thinking about accumulating wealth and moving away from human values. The goal of this practice is to enrich students with values so that once they become a part of the society they are able to make the world a better place. One girl can make a great impact on the society as she will become the pivot on which her family will revolve. CONTEXT The ancient cultural values of India are vanishing due to the impact of Western culture that has crept in with the onset of globalization .The youth is blindly following the Western culture without giving thought to the rich cultural values of our country that have held this country together inspite of onslaughts of foreign powers since time immemorial. Today country is realing under corruption, injustice ,violence immorality, terrorism. Peace has bid farewell to our country anarchy reigns supreme. To counter this situation we have pledged to under take the task of continuously educating and counseling the students to imbibe the positive values and make them a part of their lives. Every one has to work, every one has to earn money but if all these things are morally both peace and prosperity shall follow. Teachers are not only responsible for imparting knowledge of books but have a great responsibility of giving directions to the mind of youth. The students who are admitted to the college are mainly from middle class and lower class of society. These students have rarely stepped out of the homes. They are not aware of what is going on in the society. These minds have great chance of being mislead. They are highly impressionable. They are prepared to bear the stress of outside world and to be strong enough not to bow before the challenges in life and to move ahead facing all the storms on the right path. PRACTICE Value education is imparted through1. Celebration of National festivals like 15th August.2nd October,26th January where honourable guests are invited to acquaint the students 120 with the life and works of great personalities. 2. Birth Anniversaries of great persons namely Vivekananda (Youth Week) and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad-Education Day are celebrated .This gives the message of selfless service and devotion with which they served their country.It inspired them towards hard work and selfless service. 3. Assemblies for teachers and students with the principal not only makes them aware of the socio-cultural challenges but also makes them realize their duties towards the nation. 4. Communal Harmony Fortnight (20th August to 3rd September) and 19th to 25th November Quami Ekta Week is celebrated in which students pledge to maintain communal harmony and various competitions like slogans, poster, collage, speech, folksong, folk dance, essay, poetry reading antakshri of patriotic songs are organized. The participation in these has great impact on the students. 5. The students are acquainted with problems of society through NSS project all round the year. 6. Cultural activities also focus on values. The culture of India ic rich and participation in cultural activities ensures value education. 7. The literary activities like essay, debate, poetry writing give the students a chance of presentation of their ideas and also to hear the ideas of others. This also gives lessons in morality and value. 8. The lectures of experts on different issues also impart value education. 9. Games also help in developing values like discipline, co-operation, and tolerance patience. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS There is marked change in the personality of girls in the span of three years. They become more confident and learn how to carry out work in a methodical 121 way. There is a positive change them Best Practice 2 Career Orientation in Girl Students The goal of this Best Practice in our college is to change the mindset of girls who join the college. It has been noticed that the students who take admission in our college are from middle class and lower class of the society. The aim of the students is to secure a bachelors degree with rarely a desire to adopt a career. Keeping this in mind, the college decided to work together to change the orientation of girls and promote self dependence. CONTEXT Women form 50% of the world's population but in our country, the percentage employment is much below the desired 50%.This largely is the cause of the deplorable condition of women. Since the girls admitted in our college are from lower middle class and lower class of society, their family background focuses on making them experts in domestic household work but do not make them career conscious. To counsel and guide the students to be ambitious for a career is the goal. Economic independence gives them security and brings an end to their exploitation to some extent. Thus they gain confidence to face the challenge of everyday life and in difficult times they .They also add to the workforce of the country. Practice The Career Counselling Committee organises a computer training programme in which all those students who have insufficient knowledge of computer undertake training. The programme is for two months, October to December. A trained teacher of computer gives training. The students not only gain knowledge but are encouraged to study it further. The Career Counselling Committee has a small library, of magazines and books relevant for competitions. The students are encouraged to 122 The members of the Career Counselling Committee organise quiz of G.K., Hindi, English and also guide them how to study for the competitive examinations. Lectures of counselors /experts are organised to promote the students towards taking up a suitable career. NGO Glory also conducts tests in English, General Knowledge and /mental Ability and rewards the winners. The language lab has twenty one computers and this helps the students to improve and learn English language. Evidence of success The Women's Cell of the college runs a project of the institutional level. In this project ,the students are made to fill up a questionnaire at the time of admission. Through these questions ,the orientation of the student towards career is judged. The same questionnaire is filled by the student when she collects her result of final year. The analysis of this makes it clear that the orientation of students towards career in their three years of stay has a marked difference. They are sure that they have to work or pursue higher studies after leaving college. They have sufficient knowledge about competitive examinations that are conducted and awareness about what they have to study for it. The students take admission through competition either in post graduation or B.Ed. Some also prepare for other competitions like SSC,Banks , Railway Boards, etc. 123 Declaration by the Head of the Institution I certify that the data included in this Self- Study Report (SSR) are true to the best of my knowledge.
