The college's development plan focuses on key areas to improve infrastructure, academic quality, and overall student experience.
Infrastructure and Facilities
New Construction: The college plans to construct six new classrooms to accommodate growing student enrollment and academic programs.
Boundary Wall: The reconstruction of the college campus and sports ground boundary wall is a priority to enhance security and define the campus perimeter.
GIS and Mathematics Labs: The report notes the successful establishment of a Geographic Information System (GIS) lab and a new Mathematics laboratory, which will support practical and research-oriented learning in these subjects.
Academic and Student Life
Skill Enhancement: The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has already organized workshops on communication skills and a mock interview guidance program for final-year students. The placement cell also organized a lecture on preparing for competitive exams in the banking sector. The college should continue to expand such initiatives to improve student employability.
Extracurricular Activities: The college will continue to promote student participation in sports, cultural events, and community service through the NSS and NCC units. The success in the cultural festival "Unifest" and the achievements in sports competitions highlight the importance of these programs.
Legal and Social Awareness: The plan includes continuing awareness campaigns on topics such as road safety, drug de-addiction, and legal literacy, as noted by the activities of the Road Safety Campaign, Red Ribbon Club, and Legal Literacy Cell.
Future Recommendations
Academic Offerings: The report mentions the success of the new GIS and Mathematics labs. The college could explore expanding its course offerings to include more specialized, industry-relevant programs, especially in science and technology fields.
Alumni Engagement: Building on the success of the alumni meet, the college could create a more formal alumni network to foster connections and provide mentorship and career guidance to current students.
Research and Faculty Development: With three faculty members recently obtaining Ph.D. degrees, the college should encourage and support more research activities among its staff and students, potentially by offering grants or dedicated research time.
