Best Practices

The Institution has been showing gender sensitivity in providing the following facilities: (i) Safety and Security: The Institution has been showing gender sensitivity since its very inception. Due care is taken to ensure that 24/7 the issue of safety and security is not compromised at any front. The Trust has appointed as many 08 security guards in the entire campus and one security guard is specifically stationed at the very entrance of the College. In addition, the Institution has fixed as many as 36 Close Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) fully equipped with night vision and recording facility round the clock. As such, the Institution being a purely Women’s college does not permit or encourage male persons to visit the college without prior appointment or permission. The Institution has also installed the Sanitary Napkin disposal machine for the safety & hygiene of the students. In addition every year the Institution arranges the self-defence training programme (suraksha-setu) wherein for a period of fifteen days to a month Karate Training is provided. Furthermore, the students are guided to take adequate measures for their primary and immediate safety and protection through Disaster Management Training, Snake shows etc. (ii) Counselling: The Institution has a bifocal approach so far as counselling is concerned. At the Institutional level Class-representatives/Mentors are groomed/guided through Student Development Programmes and they form an important component of the College-task force. And at the Departmental level every faculty member takes special care of each and every student to address their personal/institutional/psychological issues (in any). Here too, the Career Counselling and Development Centre (CCDC) plays a significant role in mentoring and shaping the career needs and requirements of the students of Arts & Commerce. Every year professionals and experts are invited to conduct workshops/seminars and motivate the students to go in for higher studies. Furthermore remedial coaching is provided to the slow learners by all the faculty members. (iii) Common Room: The Institution displays gender sensitivity for teachers by way of providing Common room with separate washroom facility for men & women. For the students a separate common room is available in the Assembly Hall. As such, the institution puts in sincere efforts to empower students on moral and ethical values. The Prayer committee interacts with students on various gender related issues so as to develop the sensitization of students and solve the social issues. Organization of talks on Anti-Ragging also sensitizes the staff and students. By conducting various awareness programmes like SDPs (Student Development Programmes) Environmental studies, Value Education Workshops and Women Empowerment training, staff and students are sensitized towards the issue of gender and socially relevant problems. A variety of programmes as Blood-Donation camps, Health & Hygiene Awareness etc. are organized in collaboration with various clubs such as Rotary club, Red Ribbon club, Red Cross Society, The Prakruti, the youth Society, Ramakrishna Mission and NSS to make students understand their strengths and weaknesses. The college is a girls’ college and so far no sexual harassment has been reported by any student. Staff members too offer suggestions to solve the psychological and social problems. Students are encouraged to learn self defence methods and promote social awareness and women safety by organizing awareness programmes on the subject of harassment.
