M.E.S. COLLEGE OF ARTS, COMMERCE & SCIENCE

‘VIDYASAGARA’ Prof M.P.L.Sastry Road , (15th cross), Malleswaram ,Bangalore-3.

KARNATAKA

Institutional Development Proposal

College Profile: MES College was established in 1956 by a group of enlightened

educationists and philanthropists with a vision of providing quality education to the young

citizens in the neighborhood of Malleswaram. With a very humble beginning, of starting with

69 students, today it has a strength of close to 3000 students. Though the college began with

Arts and Commerce streams, the Science stream was started in 1969. The college owes its

present eminent brand image and stature largely due to the concerted and painstaking efforts

of its founders, the members of the Management and a host of excellent teachers who have

ensured quality education to generations of students across the cross sections of the society.

Over the last five decades, the academic and cultural activities of the college have witnessed

a continuous and marked growth while ensuring the much needed holistic development of the

students. Despite the constraints of space and its location in a residential area, the college has

given priority to the all-round blossoming of its students in order to hone their creativity in

the pursuit of education, and develop a well- rounded personality.

The college is affiliated to Bengaluru Central University and offers UG programmes in

B.A(7 Programs), B.Sc (10 Programs) and B. Com and PG programmes in Mathematics and

Kannada, besides having a Research Center in Applied Mathematics and Kannada. It is a co-

education, government -aided institution, recognized by UGC /s 2(f) & 12(B). It has gone

through three cycles of NAAC accreditation. In its third cycle the college obtained the

coveted ‘A’ grade with a CGPA of 3.21.The organization of the management has provided

for Secretary for Academics , a full time Chief Executive officer, assisted by an Estate

officer and an Accounts officer to facilitate quick response and decision making as per the

requirements of the institution. There is a well laid out mechanism to review the activities

and suggest course corrections at the Management level with the Managing Committee and

Governing Body. The Management has laid down institution-specific policy statements and


6

strategic plans with a definite time line which are aligned with the vision, mission, and

objectives of the college.

The Principal and faculty have been involved in a synergetic and participative way in

the design of the policies and plans of the college and its implementation. The inclusive

policy of the management and the decentralization of the academic and administrative

processes at the institution level have gone a long way in contributing to the success of the

college. The leadership ensures that the institution’s strategic plan bears a holistic approach.

The strategic plan of the college prepared by the IQAC is in alignment with the

overall perspective plan of the Management. The Institution has a stated quality policy and

strategic perspective plan which has been drawn up after consultation with all the

stakeholders. The college has a quality manual. The staff are encouraged to internalize the

quality policy and align their work in accordance with it.

There are welfare measures for the staff, instituted by the Management as also by the

staff themselves through cooperative schemes. These include, financial aid through the

disbursement of repayable and non-repayable short/long term loans, admission to children of

the staff of MES Degree College in all MES Institutions, fee concession for any one child of

the staff, studying in MES institution and paid maternity leave. The college has a meticulous

audit system carried out by certified, professional auditors of repute and the books of

account have been audited up to the year 2017-18.

1.INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

1. Executive summary of the IDP:

The world is in the midst of a technological revolution, and is witnessing an

explosion of new technologies which are impacting every facet of our lives, education

included. The role of Higher Education Institution (HEI) has undergone a paradigm shift

with the focus shifting from mere delivery of curriculum to the students, to empowering


12

them to be innovators and agents of change to contribute significantly to nation building

in the 21st century. This will only be possible if HEI are willing to adapt to the rapidly

changing needs of the younger generation and cater to the aspirations of the students that

come to their portals. This is possible only if HEI have the required physical and digital

infrastructure and trained manpower.

HEIs must have the capabilities to plan and implement equity-based development

initiatives, enhance their existing capacities so that they become dynamic, demand-

driven, quality conscious, efficient and forward looking and responsive to rapid economic

and technological developments occurring at the local, state, national and international

levels. This requires colleges to upgrade their academic infrastructure and provide

conducive teaching-learning environment to students. The college has to reinvent itself to

meet these challenges and prove itself to be progressive and useful to its stakeholders. It

is therefore imperative that the state supports HEI by providing a substantial part of the

the resources needed for this. It is hoped that RUSA will help in this regard.

The I D P envisages the following

Augmentation and up-gradation of existing Physical Infrastructure

Creation of new Physical Infrastructure.

Up gradation of Digital Infrastructure

Initiating programs for capacity building and skill development for students.

Conduct of Faculty Development Programs

Strengthen research process and infrastructure .

1. Physical Infrastructure

As stated in the SWOC analysis, space is a major constraint . The land allotted to the

institution is insufficient and so vertical growth of the building is inevitable. The rules of

the urban development authority restrict such growth. Hence optimization of the existing


13

facilities as well as acquiring new land and building is a major focus in IDP. The

following constructional activities have been planned.

New Administrative Office.

Expansion of the canteen

Two compact seminar halls with a capacity to hold hundred people which will be

used for general gatherings, seminars and symposia.

Additional facilities for Physically challenged students such as rest rooms.

2. Digital Infrastructure:

Digital infrastructure plays a key role in HEI of the 21st century. The interaction of a

college with the affiliating university , assessment and accreditation bodies, government

agencies, companies that come to recruit students are increasingly online. Regulatory

bodies like UGC urging colleges and faculty to have a strong online presence in terms of

websites, Video Lectures ,MOOCs etc a strong digital infrastructure is required in the

college.

The IDP envisages

1. Upgrading to 24x7 uninterrupted high speed broad band connection.

2. Creating 5 to 6 fully digital smart class room.

3. Procure more computers to augment the existing ones.

4. Procure video /audio equipment to facilitate creation of video lectures and

MOOCs.

5. Digitize the Library

3. Capacity and Skill development of students:

The primary graduate attribute in the present time is employability. In order to

achieve these the IDP envisages several action plans


14

1. Conduct of skill based certificate courses.

2. Up-gradation of laboratory facilities.

3. Pre-placement training in soft skills

4. Student Research Projects

5. Full fledged coaching center for competitive examinations

6. Enchanced capacity to conduct Seminars and Conferences for students

4. Faculty development programs:

The fulcrum of an institution is the faculty. They have to be up to date in their

knowledge and have the necessary skill set to deliver the curriculum and train the

students to face the challenges of the society. In the light of this very important aspect in

the IDP we have planned

1. Conduct of Faculty Induction Program

2. Conduct of Faculty Development Programs

3. Encourage participation in Orientation and Refresher courses

5. Strengthen research activities:

Research and innovation is now an integral part of education at HEI. Both teachers

and students are required to carry out socially relevant and fundamental research. The

IDP submitted takes cognizance of this aspect.

1. Procurement of equipments to help student research and Projects.

2. Conduct of courses on research methodology, software training programs.

3. Improving ICT infrastructure in the college.

4. Augmenting Library resources.


15

It is hoped that the assistance provided under RUSA will help fulfill the aspiration of

the college to become a centre of excellence and a Model college.

2. Provide the details of SWOT analysis carried out (in terms of methodology

used, analysis and information and data as collected and inferences derived with

respect to strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)

The SWOC analysis is considered as a powerful tool to examine an organization’s

internal strengths and weaknesses as well as recognize the opportunities and challenges

presented by the external environment. The SWOC analysis of the MES Degree College of

Arts, Commerce and Science was undertaken as an IQAC initiative, involving all the faculty

members. Initially a SWOC analysis was worked out at each department and the

information was then collated into an institutional SWOC analysis.

The following four steps were followed to complete our SWOC analysis and create a

SWOC matrix:

a. Listing internal strengths.

b. Listing internal weaknesses.

c. Listing external opportunities

d. Listing external Challenges.

The following questions were posed for eliciting answers:

senior staff worked on the budget proposal in IDP. The basic mode of operation was to see

the expenditure on the various heads in the previous years and also factor-in the need as per

the SWOC analysis and arrive at a figure.

5. The quantitative data required for the IDP which essentially has to be culled out from

office records was entrusted to the staff of the office as shown below.
