Education is equipping knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, habits, and attitudes with the learning

experiences. Our college education system consists of Principal, Teaching staff, Non-teaching

staff, Students and other educational professionals working together to enrich and enhance those

qualities. Educational management is a goal oriented activities by planning, organizing,

implementation, review, evaluation and integration of the professionals who are working in the

educational eco-system. A management information system is actually a set of interrelated

components that collect, manipulate, store and disseminate data and information and provide

feedback to meet the institution’s objective. It is actually the educational-technology branch of

an education system conceptualizes and develops Information and Communication Technology

(ICT) in education, integrating it with curriculum frameworks, staff development and

management. Recently the focus of educational technology has shifted to online and web-based

applications, learning portals, flipped classrooms and a variety of social networks for teaching

and learning. Nowadays it encompasses several domains including collaborative learning, linear

learning, online-portal learning and mobile-learning.

The Governing Body plays a pivotal role in framing the strategies pertaining to the various

aspects of the college administration, academic and general development. Principal as secretary

of the Governing Body, in liaison with IQAC, Teacher’s Council and finance committee, further

formulates the working principle for the smooth functioning of the college. Governing Body is

the apex administrative Body of the college and principal is responsible for implementing the

resolutions adopted by the Governing Body. Teacher’s Council, a statutory body of the college

holds meetings to discuss all academic and related developmental issues. IQAC is instrumental

in maintaining and enhancing the quality in education and recommends necessary suggestion for

all round growth.

There are three different campuses in Kalna College having total built up area of 9,653 sq. m.

contains classroom, toilets, and laboratory, hostels, YOGA shed, girls’ toilet, canteen, cycle

shed and a small pond. There are 38,667 books and 9 journals in the library, 9 LCD machine, 7

classroom with public address system and 10-12 department having internet facility and one

browsing centre for technical support to the students and others. In first semester, students are


admitted only through online form fill up by making payment through online. An accounting

software is partially used due to insufficient number of computer skilled staff. Students’

notices are regularly circulated through college website and all academic and administrative

printing texts are prepared and sent by computer and internet respectively. There are total 58

computers in this institution of which 48 are desktops and 10 laptops, some of which are

connected with internet connection. There are also 9 LCD projectors attached to different

departments. Software is also used for preparing the Teaching and Non-teaching staff salary

2.3.2 Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words)

The College has a traditional mentoring system which has been improved time to time with the

changes of the course structure. Mentoring of students in the College starts from the admission in the

1st semester UG and PG courses for selection of their Honours subjects as well as Generic and

General subjects. During admission, students are advised to follow the college’s prospectus critically,

so that they can know the academic, administrative and financial facilities which will be given by the

college throughout the year. Especially for UG students, this year several classes were taken

immediately after the admission to explain the course curriculum and semester examination system.

Students are also advised to follow the College’s website notice regularly for different on line

application process. After admission, students are encouraged to attend their theoretical and practical

classes especially in the first two months, when they are intimated about the name/ names of mentor

teachers for their help to study in the College. Students are also encouraged to make the best use of

the Library. They are also intimated to check the Academic Calendar, from where, they can know the

tentative dates of the mid-semester internal examinations and test examinations and other relevant

information. In the mentoring process students are not only advised about the intellectual upliftment,

but also about their physical fitness, sports and cultural performances. Poor attendance and

disinterested students are separately nourished by the respective mentor teachers. Entire mentoring

process is executed by undertaking vigorous programme of teaching learning, sports and curricular

activities in the harmonious ambience within the campus. College also provides an effort in

mentoring the students on self reliance, skills in communication, coordination, planning and


management, academic writings and presentation skills in different ways. Generally mentor teachers

mark their slow learners through the process of routine class deliberation and help them to attend in

the remedial and/or tutorial classes. In the existing mentoring process College always tries to make an

effort to mould the students into a talented professional in their respective field of study.

The mentor-mentoring process helps students

1. At the beginning of the session the teachers provide and explain the contents of the syllabus to

the students.

2. Everyday performance of a student is assessed by asking short questions from the previous

day’s lecture.

check the writing skill of each student.

4. Projects are prepared by students on selected topics on the syllabus.

5. Tutorial classes are held especially for slow learners to clarify their doubts and queries.

6. Teachers also give suggestive questions and answers from the previous years’ question papers.

7. Class tests are taken in the form of MCQ, Viva- voce and practical test. The corrected answer

scripts are given back to the students. Suggestions are given for writing better answers.

8. For practical based subjects excursions and field reports are guided by the concerned faculty of

the Department. The students are provided with computer labs. They are taught to use internet,

to search web page to gather relevant information.

9. Classes are also held in the smart room where teachers can use audio –visual aid and power

point to make the lecture more interesting.

for the laboratories, books for the library, teaching aids for the classrooms, computer items and sports

materials are purchased and maintained by utilizing various government grants and the college fund.

Alumni are an institution’s Brand Ambassador, carrying those core values of excellence, lifelong learning

of inclusiveness and diversity across the world. The ethos and culture along with education the alumni had

from their institution express their philosophy and vision towards life and the world. So considered Kalna

College alumni association (S) is a pride of Kalna College (Established 1943).

Kalna College alumni association was established on 23rd January 2004 - A day historic in significance

being the Birth day of the Great Netaji –‘Subhas Chandra Bose’, a luminary in the firmament of the sky of

colonial India. The Ex-students of the College were emotionally enthusiastic to have chosen the day for the

patriotic purpose. The meeting was convened by the then Principal, Dr.Satiranjan Chakraborty and the

constitution was made. The constitution was duly registered in 2006 under West Bengal Society

Registration Act XXVI of 1961 vide our registration no S/IL/36955 of 2006 -2007.

Kalna College Alumni Association besides imparting training in innovative skills to the alma matter

contributes significantly to the development of Kalna College through financial and non-financial means

during the last five years. At present 300 hundred alumni have been actively participating in the meeting

held in the Association’s own office. On the 5th September, the Teachers’ day they auspiciously observed

the day and rejoice it in various rejuvenative ways every year. Besides they arrange tree plantation

programme, blood donation camp, snake bite awareness programme etc. The association pursues and

sustains excellence in the field of education and in search for knowledge by interaction between the alumni

the faculty and the present students of the College.

Alumni announce scholarships and awards to the poor and meritorious students on regular basis through a

trustee organisation ‘SAHAJAG’ (Government registered) from its own fund. In order to enhance the

association fund, the alumni contribute an amount of money themselves and collect money if the situation

so demands, as for example in 1993 the alumni contributed the lion share to the construction of the

Golden Jubilee Building which was inaugurated by Honourable Higher Education Minister, Prof Satya

Sadan Chakrabarty.

During the last five years the activities of the alumni association have been accelerated with participation

of some enthusiastic and interested alumni. In 2017-2018 Academic Session alone 177 alumni contributed

a sum of Rs 250/- (Two hundred fifty only) each and 26 alumni contributed Rs 500/- (Five hundred only)

each and one alumnus contributed Rs. 5000/- only brings a total amount of Rs 62,250/- only is to be added

to Rs 50,000/-(fifty thousand only) which has been remaining as fixed deposit in nationalised bank. The

alumni are even ready to render financial assistance under any emergent situation. It is worthwhile that the

association audited statement of account regularly and accordingly.

The alumni association, Kalna College solicits the participation of more and more alumni of Kalna

College. The alumni are indeed playing a vital role by providing sustainability to the parent’ institutions. In

2017-2018 a new committee of the alumni association was constituted. Significantly many of the alumni

contributed articles to the ‘platinum jubilee commemoration volume’ and thus enriched it to a great extent.

The alumni association of Kalna College is setting a pioneering example in its glorious mission consisting

of a numbers of teachers, professors, doctors engineers, scientists, literary figures, social scientists,

journalist, minister and social workers the alumni association can help to identify strategic direction for

Kalna College in the running 21st century.

6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 Institution conducts internal and external financial audits regularly Yes

(with in 100 words each)

The College has a mechanism of internal audit system. Basically a Teacher having knowledge of accounts

and management is deputed as Bursar of the College. He personally assists the accountant and cashier of

the college regarding how to keep different records in different ledgers. There is a provident fund sub -

committee in the college, which thoroughly scrutinizes the Provident Fund Account and provides

suggestion and opinion to the Accountant of the College from time to time.


Besides a parson having cost and chattered accounts background is recruited by the Governing Body of the

college for thorough internal audit of the accounts. The Concerned person has internally audited the

Accounts for the last few years and also the year 2017-2018 for B.Ed and General sections and remarked

against the personal advances, undistributed provident fund interest and improper expenditure voucher

keeping system. Presently College collects all fees through online and/or offline banking but fails to start

the software based accounting system due to the shortage of qualified staff. The Principal brings these

suggestions and recommendations of internal auditor to the Governing Body for discussion and correction

of the existing practises.

These thoroughly internal audited papers are submitted to the external auditing concern, deputed by the

Director of Public Instructions, Higher education Department, Government of West Bengal. This year

external auditor is not deputed by the Government even to date. College has already applied for deputing

external auditor to the Higher Education Dept. to complete the process.

Resource Mobilization

College has two ponds of its own one of which is situated inside the main campus of the College and other

is outside of the hostel campus. These ponds are yearly leased for earning some revenue by the College

authority. College has also 37 nos. of stalls of its own to prevent encroaching along a portion of the

boundary wall and by dint of it a onetime fund of Rs 20, 00,000/- is generated. The same has been saved

under fixed deposit scheme which provides an annual interest of Rs 1, 00,000/- approximately. Besides,

these stalls generate annual revenue of Rs 40,000 only in the form of rent. A portion of the unused

teachers’ quarter has been provided to the WEBEL INFORMATICS for running computer application

courses on rent basis. This also generates a fund of Rs 50,000/- Yearly. College also provides its campus

for competitive examinations venue, which also generate a fund of Rs 10,000/- only throughout the year as

stated below. Moreover, college always tries to invest the fund excess over the expenditure at any

nationalized bank.

1. Revenue from lease of 2 ponds : Rs 12,000/-

2. Rent from stalls : Rs 40,080/-

3. Rent from Webel Informatics : Rs 96,000/-
