Criterion VII : Healthy Practices 1. Has the college adopted any mechanism/ process for internal quality checks?



Raja Peary Mohan College was established with two main objectives :

� Spread education among economically backward classes of rural Bengal

� Uplift the economically and socially downtrodden classes of rural Bengal.

Since its establishment in 1887, the Institution have survived for the last 118

years because of its own adopted healthy practices. Looking back we find that

the contribution of the founder and his predecessors, eminent academicians,

able Principals and the common people have raised the Institution to its present

glorious existence. A few of the adopted practices are :

� Message of Unity in diversity : Students are from various economic,

religious and social background. Most of the students are from low to

middle income group families. However a few of the students do come from

higher income group families too. The students from rural as well as urban

areas flock together in the classes. The mixing up of students from diverse

Socio-Cultural background are helping them to grow up into healthy future

citizens of India.

� Transparent Admission Procedure : Totally based on merit and University

norms.

� Master Time Table : To check regularity in conducting classes.

� Attendance of Students : Regular check up of attendance.

� Parents – Teacher Meetings : To apprise parents about the progress of their

wards.

tutorials, annual examination etc. Necessary remedial measures such as

special classes and tutorials are adopted.

Examinations in Academic Committee Meetings.

B.Sc. General Examination : The results of candidates who appeared for B.Sc. (Pass) course with Physiology, as one of the subjects was remarkable. Success rate was 98 – 100% every year.

Research Activities : The Dept. of Physiology, Raja Peary Mohan College, boasts of being the only Under-

graduate College in West Bengal to have a rich heritage of research activities. With the

introduction of Physiology as Pass Course subject in the Under-graduate course, research

activities started under the expert guidance of Dr. Amar Chatterjee, from 1966, with funds

pouring in from the University Grants Commission, Indian Council of Medical Research,

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Lady Tata Memorial Trust and Ford

Foundation, New York. The Ford Foundation visited the Institute in the January,1973

and recommended for funding research grants to Dr. Amar Chatterjee for carrying out

research project and classified the Institute as a CLASS A RESEARCH CENTRE.

Research activities continued with the UGC funding Minor Research projects to Dr.

Ashis Basu Mallick and Dr. Anindita Mondal (Majee).

Seminars Conducted With the sad demise of Dr. Satyaranjan Dasgupta who was the Head of the

Department of Physiology from 1978 – 1997, when he died in harness, it was decided that the

best way to express our respect to the departed soul was to organise Seminars. Keeping in

mind the love for his students, Seminars are organized every year in the month of February

(he died on 3rd February, 1997). One of the speakers is a student who had passed B.Sc.

(Hons.) Examination in the previous session, and the Project Work completed by them is the

topic of the seminar. An ex-student of the Department who is carrying out research activities

after his post-graduation, in a reputed research Institute, delivers

Dr. Satyaranjan Dasgupta Memorial Oration.
