Institutional Strategic and Perspective Plan

The college has set out strategic and perspective plans for its holistic development by focusing on its weaknesses and challenges. The perspective plans of the institute are broadly related to academic improvement, human resources and infrastructural development. A brief outline of the plans, along with institutional initiatives, is as follows:

1. 1. Academic Improvement

   • Special emphasis is placed on improving the current trend of low student attendance.
   • Conduct more remedial classes for slow learners.
   • Keep close contact with students through Mentor-Mentee programmes.
   • Approaches of teaching towards experiential learning, problem-solving approaches, and nurturing critical thinking skills enhancement among learners.
   • Emphasis on organizing seminars, conferences, workshops, etc.
   • Implementation of the NEP 2020 curriculum was successful.

   2. Human Resource Development

   • Conducting community development programmes and other extension activities involving students to inculcate a sense of social responsibility among them. In this regard, the college has been trying to open NSS and NCC units. As per recent communication from the affiliating university, an NSS unit will be opened shortly.
   • Soft Skill Development Programmes for students.
   • Career counselling programs and internships for students.
   • Encouraging teachers to engage in research and publication actively.
   • Skill Development Programmes for non-teaching staff.

   3. Infrastructural Development

   • Building infrastructure augmentation for housing more classrooms, laboratories, seminar hall etc. In this regard, the college authority has already submitted a plan and estimate prepared by the Public Work Directorate (PWD) to the Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal for a separate building.
   • Library upgradation through recruitment of a librarian, and acquiring more physical and digital resources in compliance with UGC library resource guidelines.
   • Language laboratory set up to enhance soft skills and other learning opportunities among students.
   • Laboratory renovations with state-of-the-art equipment to support advanced learning and research.
   • IT infrastructure development to support academic activities.
   • Installation of grid-integrated RCC roof-top solar panel system. This initiative will help to reduce carbon footprint and provide a renewable source of energy. The college has applied to the West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency for the installation of solar panels. Various nearby Central Government organizations, like the Central Mine Planning and Design Institute, Asansol; and Mejia Thermal Power Station (DVC) have also been approached to install such solar panels through their CSR fund.
   • Renovation of the existing pond for aquaculture. Mejia Thermal Power Station (DVC) has been approached to undertake the work through their CSR fund.
   • Rainwater harvesting to conserve water.
   • Vermicompost plants to manage organic waste and generate nutrient-rich compost for our campus gardens
