EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Athgarh a former Princely state, now a major chunk of Athgarh
Sub-division in the District of Cuttack and state of Odisha lies between 20 26’
and 20 41’and 82 32’and 85 52’E. The Sub-Divisional head quarters are at
Athgarh, well connected by rail and road.
Long since 1960 the establishment of a college in this area was
cherished in the minds of the enlightened people of Athgarh. The dream took a
tangible shape in March 1963 in a preparatory meeting of the leading personalities
and the Sarapanchas of Athgarh Block held on the premises of Biswanath
Bidyapitha, Athgarh under the Presidentship of Padmabhusan Dr. Radhanath
Rath, Editor ‘The Samaja’. A resolution was adopted for the establishment of a
Science college from 1963-64 academic session at Athgarh. The College started
functioning in the Town Club from August, 1963 with 64 seats in P.U. Science.
The following year P.U. Arts class with 64 seats was opened.
In the year 1972, the college was shifted from the town hall
building to the abandoned C.T. school campus in Khuntakata village, 5km from
the town. An area measuring Ac. 11.05 with standing permanent structures
belonging to the Education Department was leased out to the management of the
college. The college was shifted to its permanent accommodation in the
erstwhile palace of the King of Athgarh. At present the campus spreads over a
compact area of 25 acres with a tranquil and serene atmosphere congenial for
ideal academic environment.
The institution was raised to the status of a Degree College in the
year 1972.Utkal University accorded permanent affiliation for Arts courses in
1971,and Science courses in 1973.The college was affiliated under 2(f) and 12(B)
of the UGC Act in 1972.The faculty of Commerce was introduced in 1980 with
64 seats. The Utkal University granted affiliation for Honours. Courses in
Political Science and History in 1977, Oriya and Mathematics in 1978, Chemistry
in 1979, Economics and Physics in 1980, Botany since 1988, English in 1992,
Zoology in 1994, Education, Sanskrit and Philosophy in 2004.
New subjects viz. Education, Sanskrit, Logic and Philosophy were
introduced at Under Graduate level between 1980 and 1994. Besides that, +3
commerce stream has opened Accounting and Management Honours with
(16seats) each.
During the last 52 years of its existence the college has undergone
various developmental works in academic infrastructure. It provides-Lecture
Halls, Library, Reading Room, Laboratories, SAMs Lab, NCC Room, NSS
Room, Staff Common Room, Students Common Room, College Office,
Examination Section, Post-Office, Gents’ Hostel, Ladies Hostel, an Auditorium.
The development of the college is attributed to the donations received from the
generous public, eminent personalities, Grants received from the UGC and the
Self Study Report, G. Sc. College, Athgarh…………………..
NAAC: A step to achieve excellence in Higher Education…………. Page 5
Government of Odisha. The luminaries of Alumnae have brought laurels to their
Alma mater in their respective fields and are very much instrumental in promoting
the glory of the institution at national and international domain.
Apart from academic progression, infrastructural expansion the
college has an excellent record of curricular. The Students’ Union with its office
bearers co-operate in the college developmental work and develop their acumen
in active governance and extra–curricular achievements of the students under the
august and dynamic leadership of the faculty members. As a part of the extension
activities the college organizes the normal and special NSS camps in the adopted
villages giving thrust on major areas like blood donation, Sarbashikshya Abhiyan,
mass programme for functional literacy, health check up camps, awareness
programmes and environmental sanitation and relief operation at the time of
natural calamities. The inclusion of NSS and NCC as part of the extension activity
in the educational curriculum has greater educational value especially in semi-
urban area. Needless to say it goes on to seek and arouse in the students and equip
them with an opportunity to understand themselves in relation to community in
identifying the problems and finding their solution, It undeniably inculcates civic
sense in the minds of our students who gain substantially through skills in
community participation and scientific exposure, The Youth Red Cross, and the
Rovers and Rangers units also render community service through in house and
external programmes. As a part of the process in streamlining administration,
Discipline Committee, the Anti-Ragging Cell, Sexual Harassment-Cell, Students’
Redressal Cell operate with full vigour. The Career Counseling and the Placement
Cell provide avenues of employment. The Alumni Association and the Parent-
Teacher Association of the institution play a vital role in the overall development
of the institution.
The Yoga Classes and the ‘Self-Defence Training” especially for
the women students, helps in moulding their confidence, emotional balance and
uprightness in building a strong personality. The ‘Eco Club’ with the dictum’ Go
green, live green’ enlivens the students for an aesthetic and clean environment
.The ‘Medicinal Herbal Club’ of the Botany department envisages love for plant
kingdom and its utility. The ‘Literary Club’ of the three department-English,
Oriya and Sanskrit develops the creativeness and originality of the artists. The
College despite all odds and adversities has made rapid strides substantially
materializing the cherished ideas and ideals of its founders. It has been possible
for the college to be awarded ‘B+’ grade by the NAAC (National Assessment and
Accreditation Council) of the University Grant Commission. In spite of the
perceptible development of the college over the years, there still remain several
milestones to be achieved. This dream can be materialized with succor from the
UGC, the Education Department of Odisha and all those who champion the cause
of Higher Education. Trust we will march ahead with our mission and vision to be
the centre of excellence.

Self Study Report, G. Sc. College, Athgarh…………………..
NAAC: A step to achieve excellence in Higher Education…………. Page 108
The Context:
Traditional class room teaching and formal seminar are not sufficient
to develop the soft skills of the students. Students coming from this
semi-urban background have various limitations. Interaction with such
learned personalities from different walks of life boost their moral
courage, confidence, knowledge and goes a long way in the overall
development of their personality.
The Practice:-
It helps both the students as well as the faculty to enhance their
knowledge on that particular area with utmost care and attention.

Personnel, Forest Officers, Business Experts, Bank Managers,
Psychologists, Police Officials are invited.
The deliberations have a great impact on the students.
Evidence of Success:
Value based knowledge is infused in the students.
Performance levels of the students have increased in different
competitive examination.
Students have developed the thirst for knowledge.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:
Requirement of more funds to meet the challenges of the
programme.
With heavy work load due to shortage of staff, time management
poses a problem in conducting frequent interactive programmes.
Heavy syllabus and Examinations poses another threat to conduct
such programmes.
NOTES:
Programmes are organized occasionally which do not suffice the queries
of the students coming from semi-urban background. So efforts are being
taken to organize these programmes regularly to enable the students to
heighten their confidence and act as eye-opener on various subjects.
