PREFACE
The Government First Grade College, Pandavapura, established in the academic year
2007-08, has been an important contributor to education and empowerment of rural students
in and around Pandavapurataluk. The College, with its focus on its Vision, Mission and
Goal, is emerging as a premier institution since its establishment. To begin with, the College
introduced Arts,Science, Commerce and Management programmes.
At present, the College is in its own building with two satellite campuses. A few of the Arts
and Commerce classes are held in the satellite campuses. The College has an active website
and IQAC. An efficient, well-qualified and dedicated staff along with the best administrative
faculty has been the institution‘s strength and this, in turn, has contributed to a good
teaching-learning environment. Although the College is in the developing stage, it has
excelled in many ways, in terms of quality as also admissions. The students too, have
brought laurels to the College.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pandavapura is a town in Mandya District in Karnataka. It is the administrative (Taluk)
centre of Pandavapurataluk. Mythologically this town used to be called ―Pandavapura‖
meaning ‗a place which gave shelter to Pandavas and their mother. It is 28 kilometers away
from Mysuru. It is located on the State Highway of Mysore to Bidar. The college is
established in 2007 to cater to the educational needs of rural students. It helped rural girls to
seek higher education at their door-step. It is a remarkable thing because if not for this
college, higher education would have been a mirage to these rural girls. It has grown from
year to year and now it offers undergraduate courses in Arts and Humanities, Pure Sciences
and Commerce and Management. This college which started with a humble strength of 157
students in 2007 has risen to 736 in 2013-14. The Institute has to its credit well qualified,
dedicated staff who not only teach the concerned subjects, but also act as mentors to students.
Prof. Siddaramu, who has a good teaching experience, is currently leading the college with
his able administration.
As the present campus of 50/200 yards is insufficient to cater to the growing needs of
the students, attempts are made to acquire a spacious site of 10 acres that can answer
theneeds.
The strength of the Institution is its qualified and committed faculty members,
industrious administrative staff, the various Programmes and Cells funded by State
Government, good academic ambience and the enthusiastic students. The College has always
been in the frontline in fulfilling its social objectives in terms of educational attainments and
producing quality individuals. The strength of the students at present is 662 and the strength
of the faculty is 46 (14 PermanentStaff+ 32 Guest Faculty) with 4 non-teaching staff. 04
among the teaching staff members are Doctorate holders, 03 of them are pursuing PhD,12 of
them have M.Phil degree and 12 of them have qualified in the NET/SLET examinations.
The College has prepared Self Study Report with relevant information on its notable
programmes under each criterion.
The highlights of the criteria-wise analysis is as follows:
Having completed 7 years of valuable educational service, the college now offers
degree programmes in Arts, Commerce, Management and Science at the Under graduate
level to meet the needs of the rural youth. The college is affiliated to the Mysore University
and follows the Semester Scheme pattern. The university updates the syllabus as and when
required and our Institution follows its curriculum strictly. The admission to various courses
is made in accordance with the regulations specified by Government of Karnataka and
Mysore University. The primary objective of the Institution is to enable the students to cope
with the demands of the contemporary global scenario through effective transaction of the
curricular and co-curricular aspects. Academic excellence, personality development and
social orientation are our guiding principles.
Our objective is to provide quality education to the rural youth, hailing mostly from
the farming class who belong to marginalized and weaker sections of the society and
transform them into better individuals so that they contribute constructively towards national
goals by upholding the values of secularism, national integration and social commitment. The
objectives of the College are made known to the stakeholders through the College website
and College prospectus. To implement the curriculum effectively enrichment programmes
such as Workshops, special lectures, group discussions, seminars, village camps, industrial
visits, etc., are organized.
According to the rules and regulations of the University and the State Government,
the College maintains transparency in the admission process as the process of admission is
fully computerized. There is an Admission Committee in the College. It scrutinizes all the
admission forms of aspiring student and takes due care of the norms prescribed by the State
Government and the affiliating university regarding the eligibility of candidates. The
admission committee members conduct counseling and help the students in the admission
process. The students are admitted on first come first served basis.
IQAC contributes to improve the teaching–learning process by planning for new
courses at UG level, introducing more teaching aids to improve the teaching–learning process
and encourage innovative practices. It facilitates support for interdisciplinary programme and
faculty development programme. Teachers are evaluated by students once a year. Feedback is
processed and analyzed by the Principal; later, the results are intimated personally to the
teachers. Suggestions are given by the Principal, if necessary.
The College consists of a good number of PhD scholars contributing to establishing a
research culture among the staff and the students. Special lecture, student seminar and
workshops are conducted frequently by the concerned departments. The Institution has been
recognized under 2(f) of the UGC Act and is processing the inclusion of this Institution under
12(b) of UGC act. With the inclusion, many of the faculty members who are very enthusiastic
to undertake research activities in their respective areas will be provided opportunities to
pursue their zeal for research.
Our College is well equipped with library, laboratories, furniture and equipments and
sports ground. The College is providing an ample opportunity to the students to participate in
various extracurricular activities, sports, NSS, Red ribbon club, etc. Computers are freely
accessible to the students to enhance their job skills. Library with huge quantum of books is
kept open access to borrow books. The partially automated library is to be shortly switched
over to completely automated one with maximum access to the library collection. Current
information, placements and career development programme will be immediately displayed
on the notice board.
Counseling cell takes active part in resolving the problems of the students through
counseling and guidance. A good number of students attending job mela organized by
Corporate Sectors and other financial institutions have succeeded in getting job. The College
has a Alumni Association and its activities have been a major contribution for academic
growth. The percentage of students‘ progress from UG to PG is gradually increasing. Faculty
members of the College personally counsel and encourage the students as Class mentors and
facilitate them for progression towards higher level of education and employment.
The College has its own vision and mission. The Principal in consultation with the
staff formulates plans and executes timely policies for the uplift of academic curriculum. He
establishes a cordial relationship among the staff and brings harmony which is utmost
important for the effective implementation of quality plans and policies. Every department in
the college prepares its own SWOC analysis. Accordingly each department is functioning at
its best efforts. Decentralized administration and effective communication has helped the
Institution to grow in a short span of time. Intimacy between teachers and students has also
been a contributing factor to a greater extent of quality education. The College is planning to
extend its advanced courses in the days to come.
The Institution has planted trees to have greenery in the campus. Uniform as a dress
code has been introduced from the year 2013-14 to inculcate discipline among the students
and cultivate an impression of equality among them irrespective of their socio-economic
background.
Methodology:
SWOC analysis is made on the basis of feedback from stakeholders such as CDC members, parents, Alumni and the community at large, through feedback, group discussions and interactions with faculty members.
Strength:
Well experienced, highly qualified, duty-conscious, efficient faculty members.
Around 30% of the faculty members in our college are PhD holders.
Teachers are encouraged to pursue research. About 33% of the faculty members are already involved in research activities.
Collective leadership and teamwork is the cornerstone for the growth of our College.
Teacher-Student ratio is 1:30 and this has culminated in academic excellence due to the individual attention that is given by the teacher.
A functional hostel building for students is run by the social welfare department.
The College has active cell of NSS unit with the motive to serve the society and contribute to the economy.
The technical, administrative and support staff are computer literates and professionally qualified.
Adopting latest methodology for nurturing weaker students through remedial and
spoken English classes.
Our College has facilities such as—good computer lab, library with good number of books and well-equipped laboratory to run the UG Program.
Supportive and encouraging College Development Council.
Good network with Institutes of importance and Industries.
Mixed ability students are admitted to our College and while going out as output, they
bring laurels to our Institution with good marks and distinction.
Existence of placement cell to support the students pursuing higher education and help them in getting employment.
Existence of registered alumni and its support for academic activities.
Weakness:
Basic infrastructure such as adequate number of class rooms, an auditorium, science
labs, medical care unit, smart classrooms, round the clock reading facility, waiting
rooms, counseling room and NSS room, are, no doubt, the need of the hour for our
Institution.
Lack of academic autonomy makes the college dependent on university.
Insufficient LAN, Wi-Fi and Internet facilities pose problems to staff and students.
Lack of language lab to impart soft skills training is a major drawback.
Need for qualified and technical assistance and support staff for the laboratories and
departments is acute.
Lack of playground, full-fledged gymnasium and indoor games is felt by the sports
lovers.
Likewise, the automation of library and office is also a dire requirement.
As the Courses are conducted in three different buildings, lack of coordination among
students as well as faculty is another setback to the teaching-learning process.
There is a need for adequate faculty in the department of Commerce and
Management, Geography, Economics and Computer Science.
Planned faculty development, technical and support staff development and also
training have to be implemented.
Opportunities:
Post-Graduation Center/ Course/Programs are proposed in the near future.
Research Center, too, needs to be established.
The College has the advantage of having a few Industries in the vicinity.
Disadvantage, if any, is hoped to be turned into strength/Opportunities so as to make
this College a Knowledge Center and a temple of learning.
Student‘s and teacher‘s Exchange Program with other Colleges are proposed.
It is hoped to increase the strength of the students.
Institute also proposes to start faculty/Staff Development Center.
Challenges/Threats:
Availability of competent faculty is a basic requirement for the Success of the
teaching-learning process.
Attractive terms and conditions offered by Industries to meritorious students are
resulting in the reduction of availability of students for higher studies.
Global recession has also had its impact on higher education.
Limited land area is an impediment to the growth of our Institution.
Our College is located in a rural area. However, the basic amenities are yet to be
provided.
Frequent transfer of teachers is a challenge to the interest of students.
It is a challenge to build a network with parents for the holistic development of
students.
It is challenge to teach students coming from poverty ridden agricultural background.
Our Future Plans
The Institution is looking forward to acquiring a specious land of 10 acres to make
possible future development of the college, after which the following resolutions have
been chalked out for immediate implementation:
To have a full-fledged building.
To have high-tech classrooms with smart boards.
To have Audio-Visual room.
To have a Conference hall for conducting Special lectures, Seminars, Power Point
Presentations, Workshops, etc.
To provide a Health Centre for the convenience of rural youth as also to address their
health problems
To have a Counseling Centre.
To introduce new selected global-oriented streams of Post Graduate Courses
To provide women students with hostel facilities
In short, since the College is in a rural area, with all the facilities listed above, the
Institution is hopeful of getting still better strength in future.
Inferences:
Our College can, certainly, become one of the best Institutions sought after by the
student community, in the days to come.
Proper funding facilities, at the earliest, can help the Institution overcome the
prevailing disadvantages.
Introduction of P.G. Courses can help elevate the level of learning.

as per the time table framed by the time table committee. Each department prepares its
teaching plan and works accordingly. Class tests are conducted and assignments are given for

each department from time to time on various current and relevant issues.
2.6.7Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes
as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives

an indicator to make any changes in the teaching- learning process. Students‘ performance in
the class through their interaction and involvement are keenly observed by the teachers. Their
performance in the class tests and the assignments they write will give some idea about how
the students have comprehended the teaching. After analyzing students‘ performance and
participation, teachers make changes in the methods and pedagogies used.

STRENGTH
(1) Availability of full-fledged faculty with experience.

departments.
(3) Availability of enough books pertaining to curriculum & general books as well as
communicative English.
WEAKNESS
(1) Absenteeism of the students, especially after 2.30 pm.
(2) Kannada medium students find the curriculum difficult because of theirlack of
basic grammar skills.
OPPORTUNITIES
(1) Department can benefit the students by increased use of visual teaching aids & by
conducting Spoken English Workshops. There is scope for more interactive
classes.
(2) Group discussions can improve results.
(3) Student interest can be increased by inter-departmental exchange
Seminars/programmes
Government First Grade College ,Pandavapura, Mandya Dist
2015 NAAC-SSR Page 149
CHALLENGES
(1) Students‘ drop-out may increase owing to failing in the 1st
semester.
(2) Students lack concentration due to the difficulty of the texts prescribed.
(3) Proximity of the college to Mysore city may result in a decrease in admission of
bright students.
(4) It is a real challenge to teach literature texts as language texts: by
converting them to fit the needs of the present generation. The texts
presently prescribed are not catering to today‘s needs of the students.
FUTURE PLANS
To increase intake of students for Optional English
To set up language lab
To take community oriented activities involving secondary school teachers.
To organize national level conference and workshops.
To introduce students to Dhwanya Lokha in Mysore.

Weakness
No Separate Department room
No Permanent Faculties.
Lack of Technical Assistance.

Opportunities
Among all the subjects of humanity, ‗Economics‘ is being treated as the king
of the subjects. It opens up different doors of opportunity. The faculty of the
department has been guiding the students about various avenues in getting
jobs.
Challenges
Economics is not an easy catch for the average students as one must be able to
relate it to practical situation of the governance. But the rural based students
find it difficult in this regard.
Future Plans
To organize National Level seminars and workshops.
To start PG Course in Economics.
Achieving 100% result in the final examination.
To help students prepare for the competitive examination.

The department of Political Science has its inception in 2007. Ever since its initiation the
department has done a commendable job. The faculty of the department is delivering
intellectual service to the students. Although the students who take entry into this college
belong to economically weaker sections, the department achieves a good result. Participation
of teachers and students in academic activities is excellent. The department provides good
support to the students to reach their goals. The department has good collection of books with
different titles which enable them to write competitive examination with the timely guidance
of the faculty. The department felicitates meritorious students and lends a helping hand by
financing the students who are economically weak. The department has conducted many
programmes by inviting resource persons from various Universities. Many students of this
institution have secured seats in PG centers in different Universities. The department is yet to
have PG course in the institution.
Future Plans:

To encourage the students to participate more and more in public awareness
programmes.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning:
The Teaching method adopted in the class room is very effective. It involves the
students in seminars, group discussions and other activities. It is a student centric approach,
which makes the students enjoy the class room activities.
The department inaugurated the commerce and management forum for the students
with the objective of providing practical orientation to student while not only focusing on the
theoretical aspects of the syllabus but also linking it with the practicalities and procedures
involved with the subject. This forum serves as a platform to develop competencies in the
students. Apart from theoretical learning in the classroom the students of these courses are
expected to improve their communication and other soft skills.
