Initially, the classes in the departmental routine are distributed among the faculty and day-wise teaching plan is drawn up to cover the whole course in a systematic and holistic manner.
(ii) Each faculty has the liberty to decide the manner in which his/her portion of the syllabus will be taught to the students to make learning an active process combining the processes of knowledge enhancement and skill building.
(III) To make learning more inclusive and help all students to achieve their learning outcomes, the faculty make available, text book matter, reference study materials which may be printed, hand-written and electronic. Keeping diverse learners in mind, the faculty locate and provide learning resources and matching learning materials which conform with the syllabus and interest-abilities of the students to help them cope with the vastness of the syllabus.
(IV) Faculty designs an evaluation framework which includes instructional content and assessments to capture learning outcomes. These assessments include class tests, tutorials, home assignments and help the teachers to assess the learning outcomes.

| Feedback Obtained |
| The Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) is based on feedback obtained through a structured questionnaire from the final batch of students of the year in question. Students’ feedback responses cover assessment of the curriculum, curriculum delivery, the process of curriculum enrichment adopted by the institution in the form of innovative teaching learning methods, college infrastructure and infrastructural support. Student assessments of the faculty’s ability to deliver and faculty’s punctuality is also recorded. The department wise student responses are then statistically analysed and findings listed. Annual feedback is also obtained through structured questionnaires from other stakeholders namely, guardians, employers, alumni, teachers and the nonteaching staff. Stakeholders are required to provide their feedback/opinion on specific aspects and issues of institutional development. These feedback forms are also designed to encompass all relevant issues. The views and suggestions of all stakeholders including the students are taken into cognizance alongside the statistical findings. Based on the findings, the College takes feasible steps to make teaching learning, infrastructure and campus life more conducive to quality enhancement in a holistic manner. The College extends the academic facilities and opportunities to the students by introducing courses much in demand. The teachers who are members of Boards of Studies regularly attend workshops organised by the University of Calcutta for design and development of curriculum in different subjects and communicate the stake holders’ views to the University. Classroom teaching is supplemented by extramural activities like visits to sites and excursions relevant to the curricula are undertaken to broaden the knowledge of students in their chosen subjects of study. Teachers’ Feedback forms are filled in annually to assess their views and suggestions on existing and future academic and infrastructural advancements in the college. Teachers also provide their opinions regarding various strategies adopted to facilitate effective learning and the scope for added assignments and supplementary classes. Students’ guardians provide valuable feedback on their wards’ performance in academics, personality development, social awareness, responsibility and general conduct. Guardians also give their opinions regarding college infrastructure, support facilities and campus environment. The Employers provide their observations on contributions made by teachers in the academic process, the contribution of non-teaching and support staff in administrative work and that of support staff in the maintenance of college infrastructure and overall contribution of the staff in the implementation of policies framed by the Governing Body. The Alumni give their feedback regarding the academic guidance accorded by the institution towards the students’ personality development, social outlook, career choice and growth. The Non teaching staff of the college provide their feedback on the proper functioning of the management, on existing infrastructure and facilities, financial support and their participation in college activities and opine about the overall development of the college. The opinions of all stakeholders are analyzed by external analysts and their findings considered for framing policies feasible for implementation. |

| 2.3.2 – Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words) |
| Gokhale Memorial Girls’ College is one of the pioneering institutions imparting higher education to women. The mentor mentee ratio of the institution is 41:1006. Hence the teacher student ratio stands at 1:25. The College offers 13 Honours Programs conferring B.A. and B.Sc. Degrees in Honours and 3 Major (Vocational) Programs conferring B.A. and B.Sc. Degrees in Major. In addition, Sanskrit and Sociology are offered as a General (Elective) subjects. Each department maintains a strict mentoring process for students within the prescribed academic framework. The faculty guides the students to help them bring out their best in the course outcomes. Students are mentored not only in their respective Honours courses but also in the Elective (General) subjects chosen by them under the relevant Course Program. The chief teaching method employed is the lecture method using the traditional black board. This is supplemented with Power Point presentations and other audiovisual teaching-learning aids as and when required. As a part of holistic learning, students are encouraged to read material in addition to the texts and references provided in the syllabus to deepen their understanding of the subject. After the completion of the University syllabus, students are given class assignments which are then checked by the faculty and revision classes arranged as required. Departments then arrange supplementary as well as remedial classes for the weaker students to help them catch up with the mainstream. Along with the class lectures and explanations, class notes are provided to the students to help them retain the class discussions in their minds. Peer tutoring, Group discussions, tutorial classes, student paper presentations on syllabus related topics and special lectures are held as well. Students’ attendance records are maintained on a regular basis to ensure their presence in the class lectures. Midterm examinations, Selection tests and Mock tests are conducted in all departments and outcomes are evaluated by the teachers. The checked answer scripts are shown to the students. Results of these tests provide vital feedback about the performance of each and every student. Apart from the teaching of the contents of the syllabus, the teachers often mentor the students in their personal problems as well as lend their valuable mentorship in different extracurricular activities conducted in the college. Students are encouraged to look beyond the narrow boundaries of their syllabi at relevant contemporary issues. This transfers into thoughtful and intuitive contributions to the College Magazine, “Miscellany”. |

| 2.5.2 – Reforms initiated on Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE) system at the institutional level (250 words) |
| Continuous Internal Evaluation takes the form of mandatory mid-term tests for all years of students and evaluate students’ progress up to a certain level. A systematic schedule is drawn up based on the portions of syllabus covered mid-way in the academic session. Students’ knowledge and grasp in their respective subjects are assessed and parent-teacher sessions are conducted to inform the guardians about their wards’ progress. Students with shortfalls in performance are specifically addressed and their problems identified. Finally, they are guided to make up the shortfalls not only in their performance in examination but also in their attendance in class. At the end of the year, Selection Tests are held in adherence to the academic and examination schedule declared by the University at the beginning of the session. The Faculty also conduct declared class tests, sudden tests and mock tests to assess the preparedness of students. Remedial classes. peer tutoring, doubt clearing sessions, revision exercises, Q A sessions and group discussions are conducted to help students to overcome shortfalls. Thus, students are additionally evaluated by the respective faculty to enhance their preparedness for appearing in the final examination. Apart from objective evaluation, the qualified Faculty constantly guide the students to increase their depth of knowledge in their respective Honours subjects as well in their chosen Electives. CIE, done appropriately, thus enhances the students’ probability to achieve high rates of success in the final summative evaluation for the Honours/Major Graduate Degree. |

| 7.1.7 – Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly (at least five) |
| Vital initiatives are taken by the institution to make its campus eco-friendly.
1. Greenery maintained around the campus enhances aesthetic quality. Area of flower garden is increased, grass is grown on college ground to maintain air quality, ground surfacing during rainy season is done with sand. During Annual Sports and Badminton tournaments, tracks and courts are drawn with eco-friendly lime-dust. Hand sprinklers are used for watering the plants. More than 60 species of flower plants and saplings of juicy fruits have been planted. A herbal garden with almost 25 species of medicinal plants has been constructed. Every year college celebrates “Van Mahotsav” and “World Environment Day” to spread awareness of environment management and conservation and sustainable development.
2. Different kinds of waste hazardous and otherwise that are accumulated get segregated into four categories, (i) Chemical Waste, (ii) Electronic Waste, (iii) Paper Waste and (iv) Garden Waste
(i) Chemical Waste of the chemistry lab is hazardous and can pollute air, soil and water. They are segregated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes, and as toxic and non-toxic. Indiscriminate use of chemicals is discouraged during practical classes. No radioactive substances are used. Different techniques have been applied to dispose the toxic chemicals.
(ii) Electronic Waste: The College maintains all its computer peripherals within its boundaries. It feels pride that it has been actively involved in recycling all the computers and its components in the last 25 years. This also ensures that the computer accessories are being maintained at no extra cost.
3.The college is also a zero-paper waste institute. Used paper is re-used to the maximum possible extent.
4. Installation of aerobins in proper places in the campus ensures proper canteen and garden waste management.
5. The college has made a conscious effort to reduce the use of single use plastic in the campus. |
|
| 7.2 – Best Practices |
| 7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices |
| The institutional best practices are described as follows -
1. In keeping with the vision of the Founders, the College strives to enhance teaching and learning through extensive use of the print and electronic resources of the Central Library by both the Faculty and the students. The Library maintains an open access bookshelf facility and subscribes to INFLIBNET for the electronic books and journals. The facility is also available to the Alumni who may be engaged in scholarly pursuits and need material for study. They are allowed to use the library if they provide the proper documents. The Library has an ICT-enabled library catalogue software and is fully automated with 5-User Web Centric LSEASE (EJB) LMS and OPAC. The Library is well-stocked with books on different disciplines. The shelves are restocked annually according to the needs of the syllabus. The UGC Network Resource Centre is equipped with computers and internet connectivity. The computers are provided for academic work only. A photocopy machine is available in the library all the times for use of the faculty and the students at nominal charges. Users are not permitted to install any software or programs in any of the desktop computers. The library is supervised by a committee consisting of the librarian and three members from the faculty and library staff. Library is made available for reading and day issue during college hours. An Orientation Programme is conducted by the librarian for all new entrants to give them a thorough understanding about the automated catalogue system, method of searching books in the open shelves, access to e-resources through INFLIBNET, the rules of the reading room, the rules of book issue, maintenance of safety of library cards, book bank and reprographic facility. The Orientation Programme is attended in batches by all new entrants soon after the commencement of classes.
2. Sincere efforts are made by the Faculty to maintain and enhance academic standards through efficient lecture delivery and use of teaching tools that can be adapted by students at all difficulty levels. Continuous formative evaluations through tests and assignments, mentor mentee interaction, group interactive discussions and individual and group academic counselling help students to a good grasp on the subject of study and ensure their preparedness for summative evaluation at the end of the course.
3. Eco-friendly initiatives and maintenance of hygiene all around the campus are in unison two vital best practices of this institution. The institution maintains strict norms of cleanliness, health and hygiene throughout the campus. Efficient water purifier machines have been installed for ensuring continuous supply of safe drinking water for all. Sanitation standards are maintained at high levels. Washrooms are cleaned two to three times a day with proper sanitizing materials. The sanitary napkin vending machines in both the buildings in the campus are kept well-stocked always and incinerators are well-maintained. Classrooms and corridors are swept in the morning before the commencement of classes and again in the evening when students have left. Furniture computers and accessories are dusted and cleaned at the end of the day. Installation of aerobins in proper places in the campus ensures proper canteen and garden waste management. A conscious effort is made to reduce the use of single use plastic materials inside the campus. Use of chemical fertilizers for flowering plants has been discontinued. Citronella and eucalyptus oils are used for destroying mosquito larvae. Different kinds of waste hazardous and otherwise that are accumulated get segregated into four categories, (i) Chemical Waste, (ii) Electronic Waste, (iii) Paper Waste and (iv) Garden Waste
• Chemical Waste of the chemistry lab is hazardous and can pollute air, soil and water. They are segregated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes, and as toxic and non-toxic wastes. Indiscriminate use of chemicals is discouraged during practical classes. No radioactive substances are used. Different techniques have been applied to dispose the toxic chemicals.
• Electronic Waste: The College maintains all its computer peripherals within its boundaries and disposes them appropriately. .

3) The College has continued with the ICT enabled Swayam-NPTEL Courses for the current students, faculty and former students. In the academic year 2017-18, there were altogether 31 enrolments in a various courses. One participant was a former student with an employed status. Based on the participation and performance, the institution was awarded Grade A as a Local Chapter of the Swayam-NPTEL, the MHRD initiative. A 3rd Year student from the Department of Psychology stood first among all the enrolled students of the UG colleges of West Bengal. She received the Course Topper prize for securing the highest marks in an online course titled, Introduction to Basic Cognitive Processes under the NPTEL programme conducted by IIT Kharagpur.

6) Annual prizes and awards to all students who are toppers in various subjects in the University examination and to those who have won positions in Annual Sports and in Annual Competitions.
7) The College does not have its own hostel facility and so it has collaborated with the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) to provide off-site hostel facility to out-station students.
8) The College strives to enhance the employability skills of the students with previously introduced value-added courses such as Computer Courses and Supervisory Skills HR Associate and newly offered value-added course like Business English and Communication Skills.

| 7.3 – Institutional Distinctiveness |
| 7.3.1 – Provide the details of the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority and thrust in not more than 500 words |
| An important area distinctive to the vision of this college is academic excellence coupled with development of a disciplined personality firm and tolerant in all situations. This is indicative of the institution’s commitment towards holistic development of the students. The institution closely nurtures its students so that they can acquire sufficient preparedness for summative evaluation as well as acquire the skills to pursue higher education and move on to good careers in prestigious and lucrative professions. Adherence to strict attendance rules upholds student discipline in the college. Students who maintain good attendance records are awarded certificates of appreciation. Regular formative evaluations are undertaken through class tests, doubt clearing sessions, revisions, mock tests and home assignments. Parent-teacher interface helps guardians to monitor their wards progress both in academic performance as well as in discipline. These efforts are rewarded in the form of commendable outcomes in the final University examinations. Students are also encouraged to participate in all the extra-curricular activities conducted in the college as well as those conducted in other institutions. The Placement Cell facilitates on-campus recruitment of student aspirants through collaboration with the corporate institutions. The College is located in the heart of the city but a significant number of students come from different socio-economic backgrounds and from rural and semi-rural backgrounds. Harmony in heterogeneity is one of the strengths of this premier women’s college. Great stress is laid on social awareness, social extension and social service. NSS unit-1 is very active and student members of the Social Awareness Club along with the Social Extension Committee undertake extension activities every year. They visit institutions catering to the poor, needy and the differently-abled and bring them several items of aid and gifts and spend time with them. Another important area distinctive to its vision is to provide a clean and healthy environment within the College premises. To this effect, the College maintains strict rules of hygiene, sanitation and cleanliness for the benefit of both the the students and the staff. |
