A. Executive Summary:
The Government First Grade Women’s College finds its pride of place in
the history of Karnataka by being one of the women’s institutions to
provide higher education. Like the humble beginnings of a great tree in a
tiny seed, the origin of the college is traced back to 1996, starting out as a
modestly named Government First Grade Women’s College. But the
aim, now as then has remained the same. The institution aims to
transform the understanding of every student who passes through its
portals, towards a progressive and social society while at the same time
being tempered by social concern, empathy and visionary leadership. The
greatest testimonial to the justification of an institution is the
contribution of its students to society. Government First Grade Women’s
College is quietly proud to have contributed to society’s growth and
consciousness through its set of vibrant and dynamic students.
From a degree college, with Arts course the institution has grown to
include commerce and Administration course. A student stepping into the
college has now a wide range of options to explore – 05 combinations of
Arts ranging from the basic Arts, Commerce and Management to focused
areas like History, Economics, Political-Science, Sociology, Psychology,
Home-Science & Computer Science, but in campus, it is not uncommon to
encounter at least Two Kannada & English languages as subject of study.
To a modern day denizen of Bailhongal, Government First Grade
Women’s College can be described as being “at the out skirts of the City,
next to Government P.U College”. The college boasts of equally intriguing
neighbours -25 years old K.R.C.E.S’s School.
Page 43
NAAC Accreditation Report
Government First Grade Women’s College, Bailhongal. 35
The College has a very strong social capital, networking with
several illustrious old students who guide the college in their own way.
The last four years have fetched (4+6+5+3) 18 lakhs from the government
and other agencies, through this social network. The money has been put
to good use in developing infrastructure like labs, classrooms, along with
Canteen.
Thirteen teachers labour amongst the youth to inculcate the values
of Arts, Commerce & Administration zeal along with socially inclusive
concerns. The teachers, who describe themselves as lifelong learners,
prefer the method of experience to the method of the book. The campus is
a confluence of teachers with variety of skills and experiences in diverse
fields, offering students abundant academic wealth. For the sake of
numbers this translates to 2 Ph.Ds and 5 M.Phils.
Being aware of the constant necessity of updating their knowledge,
many of the staff attend seminars, symposia and workshops at the
national and international levels. They are often also the resource people
at many such events. A thrust area of the college is research. Besides
acquiring and imparting knowledge, the teachers and students are also
aiming to create knowledge through process.
Backing the knowledge of the teachers is the library. Over 9,000
books are at the beck and call of the young scholars. A few numbers of
eBooks and exhaustive information through the internet are made
available at the library.
The advanced knowledge being provided here is ably backed by
cutting edge facilities – Power Point Presentations, projectors and
computers. Especially necessary for learning Arts, Commerce &
Management the labs are equipped with the latest tools.
Higher education these days is the privilege of the moneyed. But
the college begs to differ here, being a home of hope to learners from the
lower strata of society across rural social layers.

Government First Grade Women’s College, Bailhongal. 36
The college pays special care in removing the victimhood of socio-
cultural and economic divides that these students come with. Beyond
bookish knowledge, care is taken to ensure the emotional wellbeing of
these students, providing them with much needed confidence and self-
esteem along with the requisites of communication skills. Under HOSA-
HEJJE Programme Launched by State Government, the college aims to
redress social inequalities by offering under privileged students special
welfare schemes. Unconditional care and providing learning with human
touch are two pillars which support the students here.
A student in the campus has endless possibilities of journeying
through human experience. Recognizing that the real need of every
human being is self actualization, the college offers the scope for self
expression through its various committees and the political forum. The
consequence of such outlets of expression is the humanizing of Arts,
Commerce & Management – a different approach to make the studies in
Arts, Commerce and Administration relevant, and meaningful.
The NSS contribute to the physical and social development of the
individual – team, leadership and social engineering. The student who
passes out from this college is a composed and well rounded individual
who is capable of negotiating and contributing to society’s progress. The
hierarchy of the college is uniquely designed to close the feedback loop
from the management and teachers to the students and back again. To
keep motivational levels high, the management has adopted unique
practices like the creation of potential maps, participatory discussions and
focus group discussions. The experience of learning is expanded beyond
the regular concerns of academics. Perhaps one of the few colleges that
encourage people to share their failures as well as successes, the
institution uses these experiences as sign posts on the journey to the goal.
