background, was established by ICM Missionary sisters, who contributed towards the

education of women in the Southern part of India.

The College started functioning in 1957 and has completed 53 years of glorious

service in the field of education. A mile stone in the growth of the college was the autonomy

status granted in the year 2008 which raised the potentiality and credibility of the institution.

With a total strength of 205 students and twenty three staff on the roll, the institution

today has substantial merit and mettle to create its niche’ in the educational arena.

MOTTO OF THE INSTITUTION

development of an integrated personality of our students and staff by giving importance to

deep faith formation, inculcation of moral and spiritual values and empowering them to strive

for equal status in life.

Vision

Our College aims at the formation of prospective women teachers with

far-sighted clear vision of the present and future panorama of the needs and requirements for

the promotion of Social Justice and Social Progress.

With this permeating Vision in our mind, we sail forward with the single minded

devotion under the able guidance of our zealous administrators. As a team we bear in mind,

the following vital issues – past tradition, present status Future perspectives of progress.

This panoramic view enables the multiple dimensions of the role of the college originating

from the demands laid by the technological advancement and shift in our value system. With

this awareness all our curricular transaction and non-curricular programmes are geared

towards instilling in the student teachers the philosophy of simple living and high thinking

which would enable them to stand firm footed in the swift currents of globalization,

privatization and liberalization.

The shift in pedagogical synonym and function converges towards the focal point of

formation of fit members of the community – members who would fit smoothly into values

niche of social roles to be played that would in turn impel the national progress.

The IQAC has chalked out well-formulated plans for the upliftment and enhancement

PART – B

1. Activities reflecting the goals and objectives of the institution :

The institution selects representatives from all sectors reflecting the goals and

objectives to reach out to the needy and worthy members of the community. It trains the

students to perceive not only the present condition but also the wider panorama of the needs

and conditions of the future community and thus to be promoters of social change and social

justice. The institution moulds committed women teachers through the year – round dynamic

enhancement programmes.

The following activities reflected the goals and objectives of the institution:

One-day seminar on “Empowering Teacher Trainees”

One-day seminar on “Education as Holistic Formation”

One day State Level Seminar on “Instructional Design and E-content Development”

Thus the IQAC is conscious of evolving relevant and current modes of teaching

methodology. The teachers’ active participation in the teaching – learning process

were planned in such a manner as to be integrated with reading materials, group and

individual instruction, group assignments, paper presentation and apt use of technological

gadgets have succinctly supplemented the effectiveness of the classroom.

2. New academic programmes initiated (UG and PG) :

The institution, which was granted autonomy in the previous year, has designed its

own curriculum for UG and PG courses. The curriculum thus framed caters to the diverse

needs of the students. There is an intake of 100 students in the B.Ed. course and 10 students

in the M.Ed. course.

3. Innovations in curricular design and transaction :

The special feature of Teacher Education is transforming learner centred Education to

Experience Centred Education which involves Activity Centred Methodology in curricular

transaction. This entails the Student-teachers as a pivotal point of Pedagogical output.

Student teachers are encouraged to integrate the skills of micro-teaching with the

skills of co-operative learning during their internship practice teaching and final

practice teaching which they found to be highly effective.

The student teachers are encouraged to use library resources for organizing and

preparing the materials for well-graded assignments, differently allotted seminar

topics, innovative and simulative practicum work, preparation of reading materials for

the theory papers and for effective peer teaching.

The differentially talented students are enabled to reap the utmost benefit from the

innovative methods adopted by teacher educators such as group discussions, brain

storming, seminars and Self Study Method.
