The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC

Name of the Institution: MUC WOMEN’S COLLEGE, BURDWAN

Year of Report : 2006 – 2007 Part B:

1. Activities reflecting the Goals and Objectives of the Institution: The College has formulated its goals and objectives towards which all its activities throughout

the year have been oriented.

The professed goals are empowerment of women, acquisition of better personality, skill-

development, college-society interface, and life-long belongingness to the institution.

During 2006-07 academic session the college organized an interdepartmental lecture

competition on ‘Law and Emancipation of Women’ on 15/12/06. Besides, two students, Barsha

Chakraborty and Samayeeta Biswas, represented the college to a three-day awareness Camp

entitled ‘Understanding gender’, organized by School of Women Studies, Jadavpur University

on 11-13 January 2007. The College also sent a team of 15 advanced learners to a Workshop on

‘Adolescent Crisis & Prevention’ held at Zilla Parishad Hall, Burdwan on 21/4/07 of which

Dr. Asit Patra and Dr. Mainak Mukherjee, both eminent psychiatrists, were speakers. Through

the competition and workshop the goal of women empowerment was addressed.

With the help of Chirayata, the College Alumni Association a talent profile of the mentally and

physically challenged students of five local schools for the disabled was organized in the

college. This was an endeavour to promote the causes of the ‘Otherwise able’ children not

belonging to the main stream.

The College organized a Thalassemia Carrier Detection Camp with the help of Himadri

Memorial Cancer

Welfare Trust on 26/8/06. As many as 804 students and staff benefited from the Programme.

Another programme on mushroom cultivation and demonstration regarding use of smokeless

oven was carried out on 24/02/07.

Mushroom cultivation

Apart from these, through Blood Group detection Programme on 26/02/07, sight power

determination Programme on 28/02/07, deworming of children Programme on 28/02/07, – all

programmes carried out by the NSS Unit of the college, helped the college to reach out to the

community to which it belongs.

Deworming of children Programme on 28/02/07

The skill orientation of learners was effectively pursued by introducing Crash Course in

Communicative English and Basic Computer Literacy for all students. Besides, the students of

Zoology Hons. were specially trained up in the skill of testing human Blood Group and as NSS

volunteers many of them under the guidance of a Doctor tested the Group of Blood of 251

students of two primary schools in the adopted ward at Goda (Ward no. 26), Burdwan.

Participation of some students of this college in a Seminar ‘Healthy Youth Healthy India’ held at

B.U on 11-12 February 2007, of two NSS volunteers – Juin Adhikari & Banti Roy in National

Integration Camp at New Delhi on 7-11 May 07 and the involvement of general students in

interactive social programmes on auspicious occasions like Independence Day and Republic

Day have helped them a lot to emerge as better personalities.

The infra-structural development, academic ambience, welfare schemes, extension activities and

co-curricular activities of the college have enabled the students to leave the college with a sweet

memory. Many of them have joined the Alumni Association out of an emotional bond with this

college.

2. New academic programmes initiated:

In order to enhance the expressive competence of the learners in English and make them

computer literate the college introduced two Crash Courses in Communicative English and

Computer Basics. Both the courses are customized for general students and are likely to be

immensely helpful to the learners.

3. Innovation in curricular design and transaction

Student centred learning activity is always prioritized by the faculty. On 15 December 2006 a

competition was held on the topic ‘Law and Emancipation of Women’. Students were helped

with materials and encouraged to deliver a talk on the topic. Sweta Singh of the Department of

English received the 1st prize for her impressive talk on the topic.

4. Inter-disciplinary programmes started:

Inter-disciplinary mode of teaching is generally practised in some overlapping components in

the curriculum designed for the departments of Microbiology, Environmental Studies and

Statistics. An Interdisciplinary Workshop on Bio-Diversity was held on 12 April 2006. It was

inaugurated by Prof. Aurobinda Das, Vice-Chancellor, Kalyani University. Prof. Amit Kr.

Mallick Vice-Chancellor B.U. was the Chief Guest and Dr. Subrata Gupta, District Magistrate

was the Guest of Honour. It was resolved that the college faculty, especially of the Departments

of Zoology, Botany, Geography will help preparing a Bio-Diversity Map of the District of

Burdwan.

5. Examination reforms implemented:

The performance of the learners in Class-Tests is taken into account where due to illness or on

any other valid ground they fail to appear in the Test Examination preceding the University

Examination.

6. Candidates qualified: NET / SET / GATE / SSC/ CSC / PSB

7. Initiative towards faculty development programme:

The College feels that all other developments in the field of Higher Education are meaningless

minus faculty development. MUC Women’s College encourages faulty development through –

• Grant of Study Leave

• Releasing teachers and other staff to attend Orientation Course, Refresher Course etc.

• Encouraging teaches to attend seminars, symposia, workshops, academic conferences

organized by various academic bodies.

• Organizing seminars in the college and thus giving them scope for better interaction with

Resource Persons from various fields.

• Motivating the faculty to take up Minor Research Projects and publish papers regularly.

Staff-members who enriched themselves during 2006 – 07 academic session from all such

Faculty Development Programmes are:
