villages. It creates healthy environment between the college and community. N.S.S.

volunteers actively carry out programmes like literacy campaign, cleanliness,

environment friendly initiatives like tree plantation and drive against use of polythene,

to educate youth not to use drugs. Such activities give students a platform to service

and sense of responsibility towards community development and also create a sense of

awareness among rural people.

Students are encouraged to complete any one of these activities.

University Programs

quality of education being imparted by the institution. Parent-Teacher meetings (PTA) are

50

organized regularly to take feedback of the parents.

awareness among the youth the subject is being taught at the graduate and undergraduate

level in the institution. As per the guidelines of Panjab University, Chandigarh, the students

of all the degree courses (B.A., B.Sc., B.C.A. or B.Com.) have to clear the environment

subjects. The degree is awarded only when the student has qualified the paper of the

particular subject.

Environment education has a pious mission and it aims at creating a society of

motivated citizen committed to conservation, preservation and protection of environment and

striving toward a life in perfect harmony with nature. In this field, the NSS unit of the college

plays a vital role whereby every year one to ten days camp is being organized in a village

adopted by NSS unit where NSS volunteer work and motivate the villagers for cleanliness.

Last year a special lecture of Prof. O.N. Sethi was organized on the issue of

Environment awareness. It is a matter of pride for the institute that the renowned

Environmentalist and social activist S. Balbir Singh Sechewal who had managed and led the

movement to restore the purity of Kali Veyein (which carries historical significance for the

Sikhs) Sultanpur Lodhi, visited the college and kindled the flame of love for the nature and

natural Environment in the hearts of the students. He encouraged the students to show more

sensitivity to the Environmental issues.

The college being situated in Punjab, which has agriculture based economy the

students are made aware of the fact that the synthetic/chemical fertilizers are harmful for the

soil and usage of organic fertilizers, manure and vermin-composting is encouraged.

The college is committed to provide an eco-friendly (Clean and Green)

atmosphere to the students. Dustbins are being placed in the campus and the students are

motivated to throw the waste material, papers, empty poly bags etc in the dustbins.

Every possible effort is made by the institution to make them realize the true

99

value of the nature and the natural world around them.

7.2 Innovations

The Principal of the college and the faculty members are committed to provide

a healthy ambience in the institution for teaching and learning. Personal attention is given

while providing value based qualitative and job oriented professional education.

The college has adopted various mechanisms for internal quality checks.

These include student feed back in class room teaching, subject wise and teacher wise

appraisal on the basis of university examination and annual confidential report of the

teaching and non-teaching staff is prepared.

Through these mechanisms, the Principal distributes his power to the heads of

the departments and a large number of educational and administrative committees so that the

college is able to achieve all its goals and objectives in democratic manner.

The students of the college have the facility to put their demands, complaints,

suggestion through suggestion box and their direct meeting with the teachers or the head of

the institution.

The faculty of the college is committed to provide the institutional atmosphere

for teaching and learning. To encourage the use of facility of library, topics are assigned to

the students in the class and they are advised to consult relevant literature, books, journals

etc. The students are advised to look for the material available online to make them

competent in the use of online sources and educational websites as well. Classroom

discussions are encouraged with the aim of improving general awareness of the students.

Every possible effort is made to enhance the ability of the students to read, write and

communicate well.

Including this, the Road Safety education is also added to the subject of

environment education. The basic knowledge about Road Safety, Safety sign and law is

imparted to the students via this subject. The officers of the traffic department from time to

time manage to visit the college and guide the students regarding this subject.

In order to improve the academic skills of the students, emphasis is laid upon

the all round personality development of the students. The institute encourages students to

participate in the co-curricular activities, sports and cultural activities as well. The NCC unit

of the college is working for developing the potential of the students especially the

leadership qualities and encouraging the feelings of mutual co-operation and brotherhood.

The NSS unit of the college is also contributing to develop the qualities of

100

selfless service and a sense of duty towards the community and nation in the students. By

providing them a platform where they can interact with the students across the state and

nation the feeling of national integration and brotherhood is also induced in them.

From time to time, the college organizes extension lectures. The college NSS and NCC

units help the students to realize the dignity of cleanliness and hygiene.

The regular publication of the college magazine ‗Our Life‘ provides the opportunity to the

students to give expression to their creative skills.

The college has a value based moral, ethical and educational program

(MEEP). The lectures on moral and ethical values and various other extended activities help

the college to add value to the personality development of the students.

The college has a tradition to provide moral and ethical value based education

to the students. Lectures on Gurbani and Sikh scriptures are organized from time to time in

the college as well as religious examinations basically based upon Sikhism are also

conducted in the college. The college has a tradition to organize the celebration of Ardas

Divas (at the beginning of the academic year) and Shukrana Diwas (towards the end of the

Academic session). The college also celebrates the holy days like the birth of the first and

the tenth Sikh Guru Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji respectively.

To create awareness among students about the social evils prevalent in the

society like drug addiction, dowry, female foeticide etc., social activists motivation lecture

are organized in the college by inviting scholars and people to be socially active

7.3 Best Practices

As far as socially backward students are concerned, the college is providing

scholarships/stipends to SC/BC students provided by State Government. Similarly, minority

scholarships are provided to the students by the help of Indian Government. The college is

also providing monetary help in the form of books/stipends to the economically weaker

students and brilliant students sponsored by OSA, NGO, s and social activists.

The college undertakes a number of activities like organizing educational

tours/excursions co-curricular activities. The college encourages the students to participate

in youth festivals by awarding prizes to them in the annual prize distribution function of the

college. The provision of NCC, NSS and sports activities provide ample opportunities for

multidimensional growth of the personalities of the students. In addition to motivate the

students to give their level best in the academics, sports and cultural activities, the students

101

who score high positions in the university are given scholarships by the college from its own

sources . To promote social justice and good citizenship qualities among the students, the

college tries to induce a sense of discipline and responsibility among them by encouraging

them to stand for the collective cause of community by sensitizing them regarding the need

to preserve environment, nature, to obey traffic rules, to donate blood to help the

downtrodden and the economically weaker section of the society to encouraging them to

help the victims of natural calamities etc. The college strongly believes that these moral and

ethical values reach out to the community and further nation by travelling through the

students.

Stake Holder Relationship

After consulting the heads of the departments a certain policy is framed and

forwarded to the management by the head of the institution. That is most of the times

accepted by the management and the same is implemented.

The institution tries to involve local people, social activities, religious people

and political leaders to develop new innovative programs to create an overall ambience that

would be ideal for learning process. The key factors that attract students and stakeholders

are: the institution endeavors to work for the overall personality development of the students

by laying special emphasis upon moral and ethical values. The students are provided with

adequate knowledge and skills for becoming responsible citizen.

The college extends quality and value based education by providing equal

opportunities and access to all the students that further results in stakeholder satisfaction. In

addition to this the students are trained to acquire requisite potential to gain suitable

employment with a view to contribute towards the healthy growth of the society.

In addition to the academics the students are being provided with the extensive assistance to

excel in various fields like research curricular and co-curricular activities, personal as well

as spiritual development. There is a healthy interaction between all the stakeholders i.e. the

management, head of the institution, faulty, alumni, the members of old students association

and the present students.

The driving force that motivates us when we celebrate Gurpurabs, Nagar

Kirtans in our awareness causing campaign about drug addiction, social evils like female

feticide and dowry as well as when we organize seminars, special lectures, parent-teachers

meetings and the functions of old students association (OSA) remains social religious and

102

academic concerns of our social and moral values. The same type of concern is anticipated

from public in future, we expect that the public should come forward with their demands/

feedback, suggestions they want the institution to improve that would in turn help their

children to meet the future changes in getting better jobs.

The satisfaction of the students is enhanced by the percentage of marks and

their position in the university and when they get jobs in their desired fields. The same is

reflected in the meetings of OSA (Old Students Association).

The college staff visits the neighbouring educational institutions in groups

before the beginning of the academic session and makes them aware of the various facilities,

scholarships available to the students in the college. The students are made aware of the

different courses being run in the college. The college teachers give personal visit to the

intelligent but poor students are attracted by promising them various scholarships available.

The institution makes every effort to meet the objective of learning

successfully. Special classes are arranged for weak students so that they can do better in the

examinations. The provision of the tutorial lectures provides the students with an

opportunity to reflect their talent which is further channelized by making them participate in

various co-curricular and sports activities.

In addition to this, the institution focuses upon creating an ambience of

discipline and to meet the purpose, the college has connected the campus through CCTV

cameras that on the one hand helps to keep an eye upon the activities of students and on the

other create a feeling of self discipline in the students.

The future plans of Agriculture Department are to impart interest and

knowledge in this subject so that agriculture is practically taken as Agri-business. The

college is planning to set up mushroom cultivation and vermi-compost in future.

Agriculture Department

Agriculture has remained in headlines in all the ages after a long spell of its

backwardness and stagnation. It contributes to the national economy highly in terms of

production while it has opened new dimensions in other sectors of economy as well. The

current challenges and threats need a fresh look in the context of changed environment

especially with the emergence of world trade organizations.

The college has been imparting access to higher education to the weaker

sections of society with a mission of educational empowerment of predominating rural and

agrarian population. The college decided to introduce the Agriculture subject for B.A. and

B.Sc. students in 2011-12. The main purpose of selecting this subject was to teach the latest

technologies in the field of agriculture (the main occupation of the people of this area) so that

they can convert into Agri business.

In the first session, there were only five female students who opted for this

subject. In this second session we had 21 students (10 girls and 11 boys) and in the latest

session we have 30 students (9 girls and 21 boys)) many students wanted to opt the subject

but could not because of the limited number of seats.

To teach the subject Agriculture, there is one teacher for Botany one for

Zoology and one for Agriculture. Ms. Kanwaljit Kaur Sahota who a M.Sc., M.Phil in Botany

108

is a permanent teacher and the other two are on Ad-hoc basis. Mr. Maninder Mand M.Sc.

Agriculture and Mr. Sukhwinder Singh M.Sc. Zoology have worked on Ad-hoc basis.

The college has a set lab of Agriculture with attached experiment field where

students do their practical work. For detailed knowledge they are made to visit Horticulture,

Forest and Department Nurseries, Apiary, Fish Farming etc.

The college has a well equipped library and there are 250 books related to the

various fields of Agriculture. Besides it there are magazines like Changi Kheti and

progressive Farming which provide current knowledge to the teachers and students.

In the session 2014-15 nearly 20 students of B.Sc opted Agriculture as an

elective subject. University team sanctioned 10 more seats to the department. Agriculture

fields are developed to impart practical knowledge of the subject.

In this session the department has got the permission to start PG Diploma in

The SWOC analysis of the department is the strength in Research

Facilities is provided to the faculty, creative and innovative techniques are applied in

teaching and developing research qualities among students. The only weakness is

dependence on affiliated University for approval of new courses. The opportunities are

to develop new qualities among students and challenges to introduce new courses after

of the department is to have more major and minor research projects for teachers and

to start new Add-On Courses and to have a study center.

time to time. The students are also being given topic related to their syllabus on which they

prepare projects. Quiz contests are also organized on the topics.

176

The department has also participated in extension activities by organizing

awareness rallies, blood donation camps, seminars and participating in NSS and NCC camps.

The SWOC analysis of the department is the strength in Research Facilities is

provided to the faculty, creative and innovative techniques are applied in teaching and

developing research qualities among students. The only weakness is dependence on affiliated

University for approval of new courses. The opportunities are to develop new qualities

among students and challenges to introduce new courses after XII in humanities and

strengthen the students to face challenges of life. The future plan of the department is to have

more major and minor research projects for teachers and to start new Add-On Courses and to

have a study center.
