Forward Note on the Post Accreditation Activities of the College
We take extreme pride communicating that the peer team of NAAC has visited our college in the month of November 2005 and accredited it with B++ . during the visit, the honorable team members have appreciated our efforts towards the quality education and made few valuable recommendations to further strengthen the curricular and co curricular initiatives of the college. Most of such recommendations are duly implemented and felt the magnanimity of their advocacy. The following are few such measures fostered by us in the post accreditation scenario.
· The peer team has advised us to utilize the library funds at optimum level, especially to acquire more books for the use of SC & ST students. Accordingly the college has enhanced library funding and to procure additional volumes.
· The peer team was also kind enough to enlighten us on the UGC funding pattern of infrastructural facilities and also advised us to make use of UGC funds to construct hostel building. Accordingly, the college has been succeeded in pooling the funds to construct a hostel building for the girl students. The construction process of building is almost completed.
· An another magnificent advise endorsed by the peer team was to strengthen industry linkages, in this pursuit, the college has signed MOUs with local bodies, government agencies and departments, research institutes like RARC and other educational institutions.
· It was also advised to improve the facilities in the departments of Botany and Zoology to harness the practical exposure of the students. This recommendation has been brought to fruition by establishing the Zoology museum and a Botanical garden within the campus.
· Post graduation courses in Commerce, Economics and Organic Chemistry were started by the college only after considering the recommendations of the peer team of NAAC. Today, these PG programmes are being run with full capacity of students.
· The peer team has also motivated us to provide additional facilities like bank and post office within the college. In this regard, the college has negotiated with Andhra Pradesh Gramin Bank to extend its services to students during the admissions.
The post accreditation activities have yielded good dividends to students and staff and encouraged the college to volunteer the re- accreditation process to once again re conglomerate its strengths and to address its weakness.
