Page 3/113 22-11-2024 01:08:30


The underutilized strong alumni base of the institute, well-established in diversified areas across the
globe, needs to be explored further and used for the betterment of the institution.

classical subjects although the progression of students for higher education is notably high.
Less industry density zone makes it difficult to strengthen industry-academia interface/collaborations
for internships, training, and employment.
Relatively fewer research grants, quality publications, and patents besides lacking revenue generation
through consultancy work.
Revenue generation from consultancy is zero.

assistance for endowment prizes and developmental works.
To establish an incubation centre for the skill development of the students and to undertake

programmes and research activities.
To acquire more land in the vicinity of the College to expand the existing hostel, sports, and other
common facilities.
Delay in the processing and approval of Ph.D. guideship by the affiliating University often discourages
Ph.D. enrolments.
inadequate non-teaching staff and increasing administrative workloads to teachers render them with less
time to focus on research.
Faculty and student exchange programmes with nationally and Internationally acclaimed Institutions.

Institutional preparedness for NEP

1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: This HEI had already adopted Choice Based Credit


System (CBCS) since 2019-20 academic year that
allows students to make choices at UG level in
selecting General Elective(GE) and Discipline
Specific Elective (DSE) courses. .As this HEI is
going to implement NEP,2020 from the academic
session 2024-25 in all UG curriculums, a meeting
was organized at the institutional level to apprise the
faculties of this institution about the new curriculum
structure and credit distribution pattern as per NEP
,2020 based curriculum on 28th April, 2023. .
Accordingly, this HEI has already started taking
initiatives to prepare a conducive ground for inter-
disciplinary learning in the direction of NEP, 2020.
Odisha Higher Education Council (OSHEC), the
nodal agency of the Higher Education department,
Govt. of Odisha has already prepared necessary
guidelines with credit distribution structure of 3+1
UG curriculum along with its model syllabus to be
implemented at the HEI level. Necessary instructions
have already been shared with this institution through
affiliated university. Faculties of this institution have
already participated and contributed towards
preparing the State model syllabus for various
programs and inter-disciplinary courses such as
Ethics and Values, Environmental Studies etc. as
required by OSHEC. Every programme has adopted
multidisciplinary courses to make education more
inclusive. Most of the courses offered by this HEI
have scope for internships, certificate courses and

also recognizes certificate and other courses offered
through online modes such as Swayam, e-
PGPathshala, NPTEL etc. for credit deposit and
transfer. The college is already in the process of
signing MoUs with reputed universities and other
institutions for creating opportunities for add-on
courses / online certificate courses etc. offered by
those institutions to accumulate additional credits for
our students. The institution also offers its own non-

Response:

Students are the real backbone of any educational Institution. The college places utmost value upon the
representation of students, their opinions and feedback in various developmental processes as they are its
primary stakeholders. Our college encourages the participation of student representatives in various
academic bodies and committees which enable them in acquiring better academic environment and
empowers them in gaining leadership qualities and execution skills. The student council members
generate commitment, involvement and oneness of spirit among student community, acquiring
interpersonal, planning and organisational skills, assuming responsibilities and infusing trait of
countability in their personality.

Student Representative System: In this system, a Student Representative is selected from every batch
and program. The process for selecting Student Representative involves voluntary nominations from the
students followed by a selection based on academic performance and extracurricular achievements. The
Heads of each department convene monthly meetings with them. Student Representatives act as a bridge
between students and the authorities. They convey their interests and concerns to both the department
and the administration. Through this representation, the perspectives and inputs of the students are
considered in all decision-making processes. These Student Representatives also act as seminar secretary
of each departments. Assistant seminar Secretaries are also nominated from students of each batches of
each programme on the basis of their their leadership abilities. The program and batch-specific seminar
secretaries play a key role in the organization of departmental seminars, and bear the responsibility of
managing the seminar library.

The IQAC has two students as its student representatives. Similarly, all the statutory committees have
proper student representatives. This inculcates the leadership qualities among the students in addition to
the acquired subject knowledge. Students are involved in various academic, cultural, sports events and
Co-curricular activities. The college has NSS, NCC, YRC, various department association, etc. which
promote human values, societal responsibility, leadership qualities, organizational skills, decision making
powers and awareness about various social issues. Students are motivated to take part in organizing
various department activities and programmes to hone up their event management skills. Department
Student Secretaries organize the Department activities and Sports Secretaries co-ordinate student
participation in sports events. Thus, the college has an active student council which promotes a healthy
interaction among the stakeholders. They have impressively contributed to the all-round development of
the Institution.

Students’ Union Elections were last held during 2016 – 2017 academic session. Thereafter, elections for
constitution of a Students’ Council (or Students’ Union, as it is referred to in our state) has been banned
in the state by the Department of Higher Education, Government of Odisha owing to large scale
students’ unrest.

savings. These savings can then be reallocated to high-priority areas that drive the institution’s mission
forward.

BEST PRACTICE 2:

"From Campus to Community: Innovative Approaches for Rural Development"

OBJECTIVE OF THE PRACTICE:

To analyse and understand the socio-economic conditions, living standards, and social
environment of rural communities through surveys and participation.
To contribute to the development and improvement of rural areas by implementing effective
management practices and conducting community-driven activities and awareness programs.
To foster inclusiveness in rural communities by actively engaging diverse groups, including
marginalized populations, in sustainable development activities. The goal is to ensure that
everyone has equal access to resources and skill development programs while encouraging their
participation in decision-making processes.
To collaborate with local NGOs and government organizations to understand and participate
in community development projects, enhancing the students' skills in evaluation, monitoring,
and community engagement.

THE CONTEXT:

The practice of innovative approaches for rural development at our Higher Education Institution (HEI)
is deeply rooted in the ethical duty to promote communal upliftment and social justice. This initiative is
designed to extend beyond the classroom, using the power of education to foster positive social change,
particularly in marginalized rural communities. The institution believes in enhancing knowledge
acquisition and the continuous development of human reason, all directed towards the goal of universal
happiness. By integrating merit and ethics into our core values, we aim to instil in our students a duty of
beneficence, encouraging them to actively contribute to the betterment of society.. The institution's
efforts in rural management are aimed at fostering holistic development, combining ethical
considerations with practical actions. By focusing on the socio- economic conditions of these
communities, we aim to understand and improve their living standards, social environment, and overall
quality of life.

The HEI has implemented best practices that encourage communal social upliftment.

Village Adoption Programs: By adopting villages, the institution takes a hands-on approach to
rural development. This includes conducting regular visits, engaging with local leaders, and
understanding the unique needs of each community. Our students and faculty work closely with
villagers to develop sustainable solutions for their social and economic challenges.
Empowering Rural Communities: These initiatives are designed to empower rural communities

Page 105/113 22-11-2024 01:08:33


by providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to improve their own circumstances.
This includes training programs, awareness campaigns, and workshops on various aspects of rural
development such as agriculture, health, education, and entrepreneurship.
Collaborative Efforts: The institution collaborates with local NGOs, government bodies, and
other stakeholders to maximize the impact of its efforts. These partnerships are crucial for pooling
resources, sharing knowledge, and ensuring that the needs of the communities are met effectively.

Our college has adopted villages like Jamujhari Village of Khordha District of Odisha and
Panchamana hamlet of Bankuala Village, Odisha apart from that our college has been also conducting
various community and rural development activities in various villages including, Panikata Village, and
Jhinti Sasan, Balianta, Khordha, Satyabhamapur village, Cuttack, Ambapadia Village,
Krushnanagar, Khordha, Delang Village, Puri District, Odisha etc. with a focus on rural development
and social empowerment. These areas, once remote and marginalized, faced numerous challenges, such
as lack of development, exclusion from mainstream society, and issues like untouchability. Over the past
five years, the institution has actively worked to transform these communities through various initiatives,
focusing on infrastructure development, health and hygiene awareness, education, and social issues.

Response:

Unique Selling Properties (USPs) of this HEI


Some of the distinguishing features of this HEI are as follows:

1.Name of the College as the symbol of Legacy, Heritage and Asmita (Identity) : One of the
most distinctive features of our College is its name and the history behind that name. It has been
named after that legendary freedom fighter Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar Bhramarabar Ray
Mohapatra who was the key figure behind the Paika Rebellion of 1817 which had taken place 40
years before the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. Based on its timing and implications, many view the
Paika Rebellion as an early revolt towards attaining Independence. The naming of our College
after such an iconic personality is a matter great glory and pride.
2.First Choice among the aspiring students: This College has the distinction of being the first
choice among the students hailing from all parts of Odisha as well as from some neighboring
States. The Cut Off marks obtained by such students reveal their high scores. Students attracted to
this Institute from various backgrounds contribute to the rich, diverse and expanded character of
our College.
3.Highest admission rate of the marginalized sections of society: The inclusive nature of this
HEI has been further emboldened by the highest admission rate of the disadvantaged and
marginalized sections of the society like the S.C, S.T, differently abled and Minority students.
4.Exemplary Progression: Since this Institute has more U.G programmes than the P.G ones, most

Page 106/113 22-11-2024 01:08:33


of the students go for higher studies elsewhere. Such migration helps in making the progression
one of exemplary percentage.
5.Representation of girl students: Over the years it is being observed that the strength of the girl
students here is quite impressive – almost evenly balanced with number of boys. The conducive,
safe and warm atmosphere of the College attracts girls to join in large number who are, of course,
selected on the basis of principles laid down by the Government. Their campus presence
eventually helps them to get empowered and realize their voice, visibility, agency and self-
identity better. Both the girls and boys also benefit immensely from the advantages of Co-
education.
6.From Woman Head of the Institution to many other Women Heads: Presently, this HEI is
being headed by a Woman Principal. Besides the Controller of Examination and the Chief Co-
ordinator and the Co-ordinator of NAAC are also women. Further, significant assignments of this
College like those relating to Library, Associate Bursarship, NEP, UGC, YRC, N.S.S, Calendar,
Syllabus, Rovers and Rangers & Sports etc. are being handled by Women. Most of the NAAC
Committee Members are women. The P.E.T of this College is a Woman. In the Office, the crucial
Accounts Section is being led by a lady official.
7.20 Departments, 15 Female HoDs – This HEI has a total number of 20 regular Departments out
of which 15 are now being headed by Women – the figure stands at 75%. This is another instance
of greater gender representation at the Faculty and decision taking Officers’ levels.
8.More than majority of the faculties are female: Our College has a regular faculty strength of
72 out of which 44 are women – the percentage being more than 61. This fact further explains the
gender demography at the faculty level in our College. The pertinent point to be added here is that
in our Institute, there is a perfect and most cordial professional relationship among the students
and the members of the Staff – both female and male. Two visually challenged teachers of Our
College are contributing their best for the Institute.
9.From Text to the Context, Classroom to the larger Society : Various Courses and Programmes
being offered at the U.G and P.G Levels in Our College are not restricted to Chalk and talk nor to
Textbooks, Class Rooms and Laboratories only. There are provisions for practical exposure of
students to field study, Project-based papers and direct ground interaction by ways of well
designed outreach programmes. This HEI also takes up its institutional social responsibility by
conducting various extension activities. Wings of the College like NCC, YRC, N.S.S, different
Clubs and Societies regularly undertake programmes related to literacy, afforestation, gender
awareness creation, community health, voter sensitization, national integration and blood
donation independently or in collaboration with other bodies of the Government and the Civil
Society. During local / national / global / social occasions like Ashokastami, Ratha Yatra,
Bahuda, Baliyatra, anti-Aids Campaign, Azadi Ki Amrit Mahotsav, Polythene free campaign and
Adult Education Programme etc., our students act as volunteers including as traffic volunteers to
help the Law & Order Authority. This College while excelling academically has made an
enormous impact socially.
10.Outreach presence beyond the Campus : Anthropology and Sociology Departments of this HEI
have involved themselves in experiential learning from social lives in rural areas and by adopting
several villages to bring about changes in the lives of chosen targets. Zoology Department has
connected itself to the larger world of flora and fauna by studying the habits and the Habitats of
Birds and getting linked to Wildlife / Zoological Forum of Odisha.
11.Timely disposal of R.T.I Cases – Matters relating to R.T.I are taken very seriously by our
College. No R.T.I matter is pending with the R.T.I Section. We have a dedicated R.T.I Cell with
P.I.Os, A.P.I.O and Dealing Assistant to address to R.T.I issues in time, as per rules and in a
proactive manner.

Page 109/113 22-11-2024 01:08:33


institution is definitely not an island; but a living, responsive, evolving and growing member of the Knowledge
Society. As the various autobiographical pages of this SSR would suggest, this HEI’s quest for better and best
is on.

Our College has adequate infrastructure and sufficient logistics to accommodate the requirements and take care
of the aspirations of the students. Further, Smart Class Rooms are being added from time to time on this HEI’s
proposals and as per subsequent decisions by the State Government.

Technically well-equipped laboratories, unique over all facilities, teaching and guidance of high order by the
faculties, the rare stock of students drawn from meritocratic and diverse pools and plentily available user-
friendly scope make this institution a distinct and rare HEI of the State.

The Library of our college is a richly furnished one with e-learning resources like access to Inflibnet and
EBSCO journals. Very recently, a plagiarism software Turnitin plagiarism checker has been installed in the
library in the larger intellectual interest of the students, faculties and readers. The Braille corner of the college
library with the collection of books and free software NVDA has proved of great help to the visually challenged
students. There are many who are of the view that "An educational institution is a cluster of arrangements
around the library."

Syllabus and Curriculum act as academic blueprints. The college updates its syllabus and curriculum at regular
intervals. So far the reference point was CBCS pattern. Now, we are readying ourselves to adopt the NEP
syllabus.

Most humbly it is to state that this SSR is our college’s collective testimony.
