Executive summary
It is said that Gautama Rishi performed penance to Surya(Sun God) and installed the idol of
Arkeshwara, the presding deity of the local Arkeshwara temple and the town was originally
called ARKAPURI. Hence the name Arkalgud came into existence. It was founded by
Krishnappa Nayaka, one of the Aigur ( Balam) chiefs in 1568 A.D. It was then captured by
kanthirava narasaraja I of Mysore in 1647 a.d. IT WAS RETAKEN SUBSEQUENTLY BY
KELADI Shivappa nayaka of ikkeri and finally in 1694 by chikkadevaraja wodeyar of mysore.
Arkalgud also known as arakalgudu is a panchayat town and is one among the eight taluks of
Hassan district in the state of Karnataka, India. It is situated 30 km from Hassan and 210 km
from Bangalore. The river hemavati forms the entire northern boundary of the taluk. River
kaveri runs through a portion of the south. It is well connected by road to many towns and the
cities of Karnataka. Holenarasipura is the nearest railway station to arkalgud taluk and the
nearest airport is in Bangalore.
This rural college came into existence in 1984 with 17 students. The classes were started in
the building of the Govt Junior college building. The college started degrees in arts and
commerce since 1984. Gradually the students‟ strength went on increasing and this year it is
486. Co- education is in existence in this college.
The need for own building was fulfilled in 1993 with the construction of a separate building
on a campus of 9 acres. Since then it continues to be an important center of higher education.
During the past thirty years the institution has developed in different aspects and has become a
boon to the students of the surrounding villages.
It is a matter of pride to mention here that this college is permanently affiliated to the
University of Mysore. The college has already submitted self study report to the NAAC. The
College offers three years degree course both in arts, commerce and management.
The institution has drawn up an action plan to impart knowledge and to enable students to
cherish their creative abilities. Our aim is to convert information into experience. The institution
is guided by the national education policies which emphasizes preparing efficient and skilled
human resources for facing up to the contemporary challenges. This provides impetus for the

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, ARKALGUD Page 7
nation and society‟s growth. The institution constantly reviews the trends, best practices and
standards followed by the academic institutions across the country and incorporates the best
among them with required modifications.
The cut off percentage set for admission at the entry level is 35% as we have to adhere to the
existing govt. policies of merit cum roster system for admission at UG level. We make sure that
the students from the disadvantage communities are adequately represented. There is one Ph.D.
holder, 04 M.Phil. holders and 02 faculty members have enrolled themselves for Ph.D. As a part
of faculty improvement the staff members have been attending seminars, symposia and
workshops at the state and national levels and the result has been translated in their teaching.
Staff members are always committed to follow the best practices. There is constant
encouragement for the staff to envisage new models of the best practices which enhances
quality. The faculty is following the guidelines and norms charted out by UGC and NAAC. The
institution has provided OHP, LCD projectors and CD ROMS for effective teaching and
learning. It has a well-equipped science laboratory.
To keep abreast with the times the institution has employed modern technology to skill
development and for effective and engaged learning. The library has been provided with 11026
titles covering all the branches of knowledge. The library subscribes to 01international and 22
national journals. Open access system has been introduced. The internet facility is open to all
the students during the college working hours.
The students of the college have plenty of possibilities to express themselves and nurture
their capabilities in order to become complete individuals. The college offers a platform to
students for self-expression through various clubs and forums. The institution has heritage club,
planning forum, political Science forum, sahithya vedike, women harassment cell, anti ragging
cell, Commerce and Management Forum, Bharat scouts and Guides unit, Red Cross and Red
ribbon unit, and NSS unit.
Our college is located in a rural area and the students are from rural background, most of
the students have come from economically poor and educationally backward families. For most
of the students our college is the only place where they can learn life skills, our teachers are
guiding them to prepare for the life after degree. Therefore our college plays an important role
of providing a window for the outer competitive world through various means. Our college

The academic activities of the institution are based on the academic calendar of the
affiliating university. In the beginning of the academic year, college prepares its own
academic calendar, proposing the activities and the probable dates of different activities
like cultural, sport, NSS, NCC etc. Each department has its own time table and action
plan, containing detailed proposed activities in the department like syllabus distribution,
syllabus coverage schedule tests, student seminars and extra activites.etc.
Each and every faculty member has his/her own work diary recording his objectives and
topic plans for the specific periods which has been duly signed by the HOD and the
principal. They review the same and guide them regarding their plan of action.
Department level meetings are held twice in a month to follow the process of syllabus
coverage, practical works. These meetings ensure smooth running of the department
activities. Many issues like assignment and seminar topics for students, absentee
students, poor performing students etc are discussed and suitable action is planned. Each
department submits a quarterly report of its activities to the IQAC.
Regular tests are conducted at department level. As per the university norms, internal
assessment tests are conducted in every subject, and the students are given internal
assessment marks based on their performance in the test, attendance etc. University level
practical and theory exams are announced by the affiliating university. These exams are
conducted at the end of semester.

making every student competitive with adequate skills to succeed in his future life. The
modern shift of focus in education is the student. The challenges of teaching are to tap
his/her potential in order to bring out positive changes in the society. So the student
participation takes precedence of teacher dominance.
RE ACCREDITATION REPORT - 2015

SANITATION
1. Slogan:
KEEP ENVIRONMENT CLEAN
2. OVERVIEW OF GOAL
The institution intends to impart humanitarian and social responsibility into the minds of
students and the community around. There are many villages which are not aware of the
benefits of hygiene and sanitation. The paramount goal behind selection of backward rural areas
for NSS annual camps is to convince about the health benefits associated with hygiene and
sanitation.
3. THE CONTEXT
It is very important to maintain hygiene and proper sanitation in order to sustain good health. In
backward rural areas the concept has been neglected. Most of the villages do not have proper
sanitation, As a result, mosquitoes and other parasites will take birth and become a very
important cause for various health hazards. This was noticed by NSS unit and teachers of the
college and thought of conducting NSS annual camps especially in backward villages to teach
villagers about the importance of hygiene and proper sanitation in order to sustain good health.
4. THE PRACTICE
The process of NSS annual camp are organized in the following way.
1. The selection of NSS volunteers for annual camp and getting the permission from their
parents.
2. Selection of backward villages where there is no hygiene and proper sanitation through
visiting different villages.
3. Informing the leaders of the village about the camp and collecting opinions.
4. Creation of cordial relationship between NSS Unit and villagers.
5. Organizing different lectures by the doctors and other experts.
RE ACCREDITATION REPORT - 2015

involvement of villagers in maintaining clean environment around their houses. NSS volunteers
teach the evils contaminated water, air and environment by practical examples of the village.
Even after completion of NSS annual camp, volunteers visit once in a month for twelve months.
Hence, this practice of the college has brought recognizable change in attitude of villagers
relating to the concept of hygiene.
Apart from this, various lectures, relating to day-to-day life, will be given by the experts.
Generally, lectures such as Rain harvesting, usage of natural fertilizers for reaping, ways to keep
good environment, healthy foods, and benefits available from the Government, yoga for good
health, etc.

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCE REQUIRED
At the outset it was difficult to convince the villagers as they had very strong belief that
“Disease was the result of sin they committed, it was the punishment given by God”. However,
after many examples were being given, it was convinced to the villagers that the dirty
environment resulted in diseases. Some villagers expressed that they had to earn livelihood
everyday and they had no time to maintain cleanliness. The volunteers of NSS have convinced
the villagers saying “Because of dirty environment you pay half of your earnings for medical
charges”. Never-the-less, there was good response.

the college with a view to improve academic excellence and employability of the students. The
college started functioning in 1984. The college has succeeded in making available the
following resources:
a. Beautifully structured concrete college building,
b. All classes are equipped with latest green board and white board.
c. Free high speed Wi-Fi broadband connectivity,
d. EDUSAT Facility,
e. Majority of the students are provided with scholarships,
f. We have computers for students in a ratio of 1: 20
g. The college has NSS unit in the campus,
h. Our general library is regularly updated and now has around 26000 books, number of
journals and dailies,
i. The college has a fully furnished Health and Fitness Centre and spacious play ground and
equipments for weightlifting and body building.
j. Our administrative section is completely automated with networking and intranet.
k. The college has a well designed website. We ensure e-boiled purified drinking water facility
in the college campus,
l. We have received grants from the Government of Karnataka for the construction of
Auditorium
m. The College has formed Student Welfare and Career Guidance and Placement Cell,
Scholarship cell, Equal Opportunity cell, besides Sports club, and Heritage club.
The college is keen in providing all these services to the students for developing employability
and academic excellence. Faculty members monitor, proper use of all the services, and most of
the maintenance of the services is done by a team consisting of the teachers and the students.
These infrastructural facilities are crucial to the exposure received by our students.

5. Evidence of Success
Infrastructural up gradation has ensured academic excellence and employability of our students
in the recent years. The following are a few of the instances:
1. Enrolment ratio for higher education (especially for BCom) has improved tremendously in
the recent years.
2. We have produced a large number of academic professionals like teachers from School level
to University level, and other professionals who are employed in leading MNCs in and out of
India.
3. Our students are able to use the infrastructure available here. It opens a new avenue for self
actualization, and also employment.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The college faces a few problems in the effective utilization of our infrastructural resources as
detailed below:
1. We are not provided with sufficient funds for infrastructural mobilization as per the proposals
submitted, and it slows down the pace of our development.
2. The Government of Karnataka does not provide any fund for maintenance of the resources,
and the maintenance becomes a heavy burden to the college development fund. A joint team of
faculty members and students perform necessary maintenance of the resources with the
assistance of college development fund.
3. Our major deficiency is that we do not have qualified technical assistants and mechanics for
the operation and maintenance of the available resources.
