CRITERION I: - CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and

describe how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and

other stakeholders

Vision of the College

The college is dedicated to promote, popularize and perpetuate the

Indian traditional GurukulArt forms of Bharatanatyam and South Indian

classical Music in their pristine purity to bring these prestigious art forms of the

rich and the elite to the access of the less privileged and the backward

communities to utilize the communicative potential of dance and music to

convey human and social development values to elevate the attitudes of the

people through research oriented performances

Mission of the college:

The institution trains the students to make them full-fledged

professionals with creative and leadership talents.

On completion of the courses, they become qualified to teach fine arts in

educational institutions or to run their own institutions for dance and

music.

The various activities and the services rendered by the college are a

unifying force bringing together the Hindu, Muslim and Christian

brethren for the glory of humanity. The mission of Kalai Kaviri College of

Fine Arts is to make every section of the society inclusive by rendering

higher education in the most vital area of native art.

The mission also stresses to build a united society for constructive social

development.

The department of Bharatanatyam and South Indian Classical Music

were upgraded as post graduate departments with the commissioning of

The Master of Fine Arts in the year 1999 by the Bharathidasan

University.

16

The government of Tamil Nadu taking into consideration the valuable

contribution and the singularity of purpose pursued by Kalai Kaviri

College of fine Arts. State government extended the grant in aid scheme

from the year 2000, initiated by the then chief minister of Tamil Nadu

Dr. Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi.

The college was awarded the recognition of being the best cultural

institutions in Tamil Nadu by the government in the year 2000.

The college gained the remarkable distinction from Bharathidasan

University. When the post graduate departments in music and

Bharatanatyam where upgraded.

The college believes that the educational process should emphasize the

development of a strong value system to inculcate a sense of responsible

citizenship and to pursue of life-longlearning.

Stakeholders are reached through programmes of community oriented

tutelage and collaborations with the other schools and Universities, other

colleges.

Our College re-accredited as A+ with 3.67 of 4 is dedicated with

motto is to “Art flourish, humanness bloom”. Our primary object is

to spread the values of humanity through students by teaching

them dance and music. Our institute potentiates the goal of

spreading this traditional heritage of Fine Arts through inculcating

human values in the hearts of young students.

The first step is to open the closed doors of the South Indian

Classical Music and Bharatanatyam to the less privileged and the

backward community and to include every section of the society.

The activities and the services rendered by our college through these

Fine Arts courses are to bring the Hindu, Muslim, and Christian

under a uniting force.

The mission, vision and objective of our college are communicated

through our logo, calendar, handbook, posters, website & notices is

also embedded in the sculptures in the campus and prospectus.

17

1.1.2. How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for

effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process

and substantiate through specific examples.

CBCS was introduced in the year 2006. Our college initiated

flexibility of the programmes. Since our faculties were in the Board of

Studies of Bharathidasan University, we utilized the opportunity to

introduce flexible courses and intelligible electives. Our affiliation to Tamil

Nadu Music and Fine Arts University had initiated several innovative

courses. The CBCS system and the syllabus introduced by Tamil Nadu

Music and Fine Arts University have enabled us to implement many

elective papers and enhanced our students with interdisciplinary

knowledge at both UG and PG level.

The programme and papers for a semester are discussed during the

semester vacation in the faculty meeting of the departments conducted by

the administration prior to the reopening of the college for semesters.

The administration gives choice to the senior faculty and other teaching

staff to choose the papers for teaching, particularly for the semester based

on their preferences and qualifications.

Part I and part II are foundation courses offered by the University syllabi.

Part I in our college offers chances to study Tamil and Sanskrit which are

useful for the core papers and practical.

English communication is also taught in the Part II language structure to

enhance the students in their needs to communicate and to understand

diversity culture of our country

Action plans for every academic year are deployed in the administration

faculty for the discharging responsibility of each staff. For example.

The Faculty meeting is conducted during the vacation by the

departments. The department Head discusses the semester’s

curriculum with the staff and their preferences and accordingly action

plans for the academic year are framed.

The workload for the teachers is given according to the qualification of

the staff and their specialization with their preferences.

Timetable of the Teachers is allocated according to the workload. The

Class allotment is adjusted with the demands of the teachers, for

example, our principal has been composing music for past 30 years

prefers to teach Manodharma Sangeeta to the B.A. final year and PG

students.

Mrs.Ogeswari in the department of dance who is very good in

choreography, prefers the beginners because she can teach the basics

with clarity. These kinds of preferences and the specialization of the

faculty is taken into consideration.

Action plans are taken by our department heads for the effective

implementation of the curriculum. We take all possible steps to adopt

the syllabus to fulfill the needs of the present day fine arts pupil.

20

1.1.3. What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers

receive (from the university and/or institution) for effectively

translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?

Our affiliation to Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University has

empowered us to be more supportive and innovative in teaching fine

arts. The syllabus prescribed by the university enhances the

institution to be flexible and offer choices according to the need of the

students. Especially their introduction of allied papers for example,

language, interdisciplinary subjects as optional and elective papers

potentiate the students to choose their papers of their own desire.

The Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University has also thought

about the need of the language to understand more about fine arts.

So, they have introduced optional papers like Telugu, and Sanskrit.

A very important introduction by the university is the practical

elective papers on Avid-Media Composers, Digital Video graphy

and elective papers like PRO Digital Still Photograph, Multimedia,

3D Studio Max, sound engineering which prepares the students to

face the multimedia world.

The curriculum designed by the University motivates the fine arts

student’s capability to face the challenges posed by the computer

world. The papers assigned to the PG students, for example, a

paper on ‘Computer Fundamental’ enhances them to learn the

basics of computer and to prepare power point preparations for

their seminars.

Improving Teaching practices:

Teachers acknowledge that university has prescribed songs to be

taught in the practical that are of scholarly compositions and more

challenging for students and teachers. For example, the university

has prescribed “Pan Mozhi Padalgal” which is to teach songs of

other languages as elective paper to vocal students of final year was

very challenging as it was in light music.

21

Department of dance enjoys an exposure to St. Thyagaraja

Pancharatna Kirthanas because of the syllabus prescribed by the

university, this critical composition which is different from other

repertoires helps the students to understand the principles of

dances.

Another example is the core paper prescribed with selective

compositions which narrows the choices of the teachers and the

given subject are very challenging and capacitates the teachers to

be innovative and uphold the traditional subject.

Since affiliation to the Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University

the language papers also have selective essays and articles from

music and other fine arts which help the students to understand

more about other than South Indian traditional fine arts and

composers. Hence the above-mentioned challenge in the syllabus

has helped us to improve our teaching technology. The UGC grant

for the development of UGC has provided us a smart

classroomwhereby the teachers were provided with audio, video

and projector facilities.

Since the enriched curriculum is very challenging, teaching

demands a wholesome preparation from the part of the teachers

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the

institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the

curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutory

agency.

The Institution which was transferred from Bharathidasan

University to Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University had to face a lot

of challenges in the curriculum, valuation and transaction. Bharathidasan

University is a wider university having arts, Science, Fine Arts, English

and Medicine within itself. But Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University

focus and dedicate itself only for the promotion of the cultural heritage of

Fine Arts in India. Hence the curriculum prescribed by Tamil Nadu Music

22

and Fine Arts University is very vast and Pins down to the selection of

Major, Allied and Elective papers according to Fine Arts field. This change

from Bharathidasan University to Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts

University was the biggest challenge faced by our college in terms of the

change in curriculum, the demands in valuation and other programmes.

Hence many initiatives were taken by our institution for the teachers to

deliver this curriculum with ease and flexibility.

Our college took initiative to provide computers and Wi-Fi for faculty

for the departments with UGC fund. So that they can browse and

prepare for the innovative papers prescribed by the affiliating

University.

A smart class room was erected with audio, video, projector facility. So

the teachers will be able to demonstrate with online resources and

show the students the talented Broadcast through you-tube.

Concerts of different resource personalities from the field of Music and

Dance were also staged, which was basically syllabus oriented. This

enabled our college students to comprehend the complexity in the

syllabus. Such kinds of live concrete were very useful for the practical

delivery of the curriculum.

To illustrate the delivery of the curriculum teachers in

Bharathanatyam also make charts with demonstrative pictures of the

Mudhras, variety of classical dances, makeup, ornaments. The

department of music faced a lot of challenges. The syllabus prescribed

was very traditional and not available in form of Notation. For example,

the song which was prescribed by TamilNadu Music and Fine Arts

University for B.A., III year had to be downloaded from you tube. The

song of Kavimanidesika Vinayagam Pillai was not available in Notation

form which was taken from rare songs collections of

Sri.M.M.Dhandapani Desikar.

23

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as industry, research bodies and the university in

effectiveoperationalisation of the curriculum?

Our institution network interacts with Kaviri Communication

Centre and other research bodies to implement effective operationalization

of the curriculum effectively to improvise the multifaceted structure in the

syllabus prescribed by the affiliating university.

Our institution in its network has Kaviri communication Centre which

collaborates with Madha TV channel. The teachers innovate and

choreograph various dances and musical forms as inspired by the

themes of curriculum and expose the students to enjoy and

experience the media and its goodness, challenges and the

obstructions in presenting through media.

Distance education program which is the part of Diocesan

Educational society uses the expertise of both faculty who in turn

implement what is recommended in the curriculum.

For the past 5 years, our institution has worked together with Central

Institute of Classical Tamil, South Zone Cultural Centre, Rajiv Gandhi

National Institute of youth development, University Grants

Commission has produced research projects in establishing the

curriculum to illustrate.

1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and its staff members to the development of the curriculum by the university? (number of staff members/department represented on the board of studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stackeholder feedback provided , specific suggestions etc,.)

Our institution and staff members contributed a large amount to

implement and to improvise the curriculum designed by the Tamil Nadu

Music and Fine Arts University . The management develops a lot of

programs and provides facilities to translate the curriculum in a more

comprehensive way to the students. For example, certain illustration can

be quoted for the contribution of the staff and the institution.

24

The former Principal of our college Dr.Sr.Margaret was the syllabus board

member of fine arts in Bharathidasan University for 15 years. Dr.Uma

Maheswari and Dr.Agnes Sharmeely were on the Board of Studies of

Bharathidasan university. They have contributed to the development of

the curriculum as well as have made a lot of transformations according to

the need-based context. Dr.L.Govindan a Sanskrit syllabus board

committee member of Bharathidasan University, National College, Bishop

Heber College has contributed much to designing of the curriculum for the

best induction of Sanskrit literature.Dr.V.Lakshmi is the board member of

Music in Madurai Kamaraj University.

Our institution and staff members contributed a large amount to

implement and to improvise the curriculum designed by the TamilNadu

Music and Fine Arts University. The management develops a lot of

programmes and provides facilities to translate the curriculum in a more

comprehensive way to the students.

Our institution has provided digitalized studio facility for voice recording

and to video graph the choreography of dance dramas.

For the insemination ofcurriculum, the institution also organized a world

record event in collaboration with Patanjali Book of The World record in

the dance concert which 800 students participated from India and abroad.

The success of this program is a prescribed Repertoire from the

curriculum was chosen and a live demo was recorded in the studio and

was uploaded in the YouTube by inviting the students who are interested

to learning this Repertoire and to participate in the world record. There

was a great response from various academy, scholars and colleges,

institutions to participate in the live demo of this Repertoire.

Dr.S.Beula Esther, Asst Prof. of English is a member of Board of Studies

for part II English has contributed in developing a good curriculum in

choosing the lessons for the implementations of the new curriculum. She

has also edited the book for the first semester for Part II English in Tamil

Nadu Music and Fine Arts University. So, as the lessons may be available

for all the students of Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University.

25

Mr.K.Sathish Kumar of the Dept. of Tamil also edited the text book for for

the first semester for part I paper of Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts

University

Our Principal Dr.P.Natarajan has edited a text book ‘Gana Karuvoolam’

the basic lessons of Carnatic Music so that is available for all kinds of

person who is interested in music

IQAC member secretary of our college is in charge of procuring feedback

from the students, staff, stakeholders and administration and

administration and it submitted to the management. Parents meeting are

conducted twice a year and their feedback invoiced out in the meeting and

discussed in the meetings. If any grievances are placed before the staff the

Principal it is immediately solved on the spot as much as possible. VIP’s

feedback is got from them while they visited our college in a notebook and

if suggestions are given, the possible ones are implemented for a positive

growth of the institution. Suggestion boxes are kept in the campus for the

stakeholders to drop suggestions or feedbacks and many suggestions have

been implemented. Major feedback followed and trying to be implemented

are the SWOC analyses of NAAC. Some examples of those feedbacks are

annexed in the report.

1.1.7 Does the Institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered (other than those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If so, give details on the process (Needs

Assessment,’ design development and planning) and the course for which the curriculum has been developed.

On the basis of the need based assessment of both the departments

planned on some certificate courses to offer to the students for their

accomplishment and their employability:

26

1.1.8 How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of the

curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation?

Oral tests are conducted for both Theory and Practical papers. The

students of BA, IBA and MA are given chances for weekly concert. Final

year students handle classes for the Evening School students. Thus, they

gain confidence in the field of classroom teaching. As prescribed in the

curriculum all the students are asked to present a seminar paper and it

students?

Our university does not have distance education mode

1.3 CURRICULUM ENRICHMENT

1.3.1. Describe the effort made by the institution to supplement the

universities curriculum to ensure that the academic programs and

institution goals and objectives are integrated?

Our curriculum is designed and implemented by the affiliating University,

Our faculty in teaching and learning process amalgamate the institution’s

goals and objectives. For example, the university has prescribed

Nandhanar Charitram as part of the syllabus of music and dance, is

taught to the students with the aim of establishing a casteless society and

to increase humanitarian value of equity in the mind of the students. For

example, they have prescribed Panchali Sabadham and which unfolds the

theme that man cannot pledge women for his entertainment emphasizing

the significance of women is brought out in this dance drama.

In Sanskrit, slokas are taught as most of the theories in Sanskrit are in

‘sloka’ form. Here , each sloka depicts various moral values and life

lessons which an individual follows in his daily life. These slokas help an

individual to have a good conduct and behaviourism. For example , ‘Bhaja

Govindam’ and ‘Gita Govindam’ are very special collection of slokas which

are spiritual that reminds man about religious duties, culture and the fact

that God is the source of support for each man in his life.

53

In the English syllabus, we have poetry,proses,short stories and essays of

great musicians and artists who have shared their experience and view

points on art. It also shares with students, how life changes and moulds

one’s character through any form of art. For instance, we had an essay

‘The Importance of Music in Everyone’s life’ and enlightened the students

on the wonders music can do in man’s life, how it helps a man in his daily

life.

In Bharatnatyam, like while doing exercises, the dancer needs utmost

concentration and involvement in basic steps or items. During this

moment, all the five senses of the dancer are working together and the

dancer is connected to the spiritual level and is not distracted at any point

of time. This perfection makes a person to reach his goal within the set

time with growth of Humaneness.

1.3.2 What are the efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize

the curriculum to enhance the experience of the student to cope

with the needs of the dynamic employment market?

The final year I.B.A, B.A, M.A. music and dance students are given the

opportunity to perform live concerts on the stage. The special feature of

the concert is that the students of vocal and instrument accompany the

live dance concert performed by the final year dance students which

enriches the student’s understanding of the curriculum.

Our UG and PG students are given opportunity to teach to part time

students, diplomas and certificates in music and dance in the evenings.

Sometimes, they are made responsible to stage maiden programmes. This

is a kind of employment skill our college is offering to the final year

students in the “EARN AND LEARN” program.

The dance troupe established in our college performs on the various

theme of social awareness. Students are trained even during their courses

for stage performance so they overcome stage fear and are ready for the

performance in the competitive world.

54

Community Orientation

Our college conserving a request of neighborhood and the parents of school

children started Kalai Kaviri School of Fine Arts which enabled many children to

learn these traditional art forms from the age of seven. Neighborhood and school

children attend two hours per week after their school and study this valuable art

to develop their skills with less fees that children from backward and

economically backward and marginalized community can learn this art without

observation. For example: children from Narikuravar community most

marginalized community approached our college to study Classical music and

Classical Dance and they were immediately given chance with fees concession.

This is our community orientation program which disseminates the fine arts

through culture.

Our institution have been helping the Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts

University with the UG & PG Degree courses in forming curriculum and

introducing curriculum for Integrated B.A course for the students who have

passed 10th standard. Thus the institution met the need of many who have not

able to face the challenges of the higher secondary but had passion for Music

and Dance. Thus the instruction inspired Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts

University to continue with Integrated IBA course for five years and contributed

to form the curriculum for the course.

Most of our faculty are Ph. D holders and research guides, they were able to

solve the problems when it arose due to the new curriculum imposed by newly

affiliating University.
