Our best practices reflect our dedication to empowering students, particularly first-generation learners from marginalized communities in Jungle Mahal, while promoting holistic development and sustainable growth. Below are some of our key best practices that distinguish our institution:

1. Inclusive Education for Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Communities The college prioritizes access to higher education for students from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and minorities. By offering a range of undergraduate programs under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), along with add-on courses like Communicative English and Gender Awareness, we ensure equitable opportunities for academic and personal growth. Our scholarship facilitation, including government schemes like the West Bengal Student Credit Card and Minority Scholarships, supports financially challenged students in pursuing their education.
2. Technology-Enabled Teaching and Learning Embracing modern pedagogy, the college integrates Information and Communication Technology (ICT) across its academic departments. Smart classrooms equipped with LED projectors and interactive whiteboards, coupled with virtual learning platforms, enhance the teaching-learning experience. Faculty members utilize digital tools to deliver engaging content, while the library’s e-resources and online catalogue provide students with access to a wealth of knowledge, fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.
3. Community Engagement through NSS and Extension Activities Guided by the NSS motto “Not Me But You”, our four NSS units actively engage in community service, including developmental projects in adopted villages. Initiatives such as environmental awareness campaigns, health drives, and socio-economic development programs instill a sense of civic responsibility in students. These efforts align with our mission to promote peace, harmony, and community development, making a tangible impact on the region.
4. Environmental Sustainability and Green Campus Initiatives Our eco-friendly campus reflects a commitment to sustainability. Practices such as rainwater harvesting, waste management, and campus gardening preserve the natural beauty of our surroundings. The college’s green initiatives, including tree plantation drives and energy conservation measures, promote environmental stewardship among students and staff, ensuring a sustainable future.
5. Holistic Student Development through Co-Curricular Activities Beyond academics, we nurture students’ talents and leadership skills through a rich array of co-curricular activities. Programs like Youth Parliament Competitions, cultural festivals, sports events, and educational tours foster creativity, teamwork, and social awareness. The college’s Indoor Stadium, gymnasium, and extensive playground provide ample opportunities for physical development, while seminars, workshops, and field surveys enhance intellectual growth.
6. Robust Library Services and Resource Accessibility The Pandit Raghunath Murmu Library, housing over 7,000 books, operates on an open-access system with automated circulation and e-library facilities. Best practices include user orientation programs, book bank facilities for needy students, and regular updates to the collection to support research and learning. The library’s reading rooms, daily newspapers, and previous years’ question papers ensure comprehensive academic support.
7. Transparent and Ethical Governance The college maintains a culture of transparency and accountability through its Governing Body and Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). The IQAC monitors teaching-learning processes, encourages faculty development, and ensures adherence to ethical standards. Mechanisms like the Anti-Ragging Cell, Grievance Redressal Cell, and Equal Opportunity Cell promote a safe and inclusive campus, addressing student concerns promptly and fairly.
8. Career Support Systems Our Career Counselling Cell provides guidance to students, helping them navigate academic, professional, and personal challenges. Workshops on career opportunities, skill development programs, and mental health awareness sessions empower students to build productive careers and maintain well-being, aligning with our goal of holistic development.
