Student's Feedback Analysis
Students are the most important stakeholders. An institution must take care of
the response of its students regarding the layout of syllabi, quality of teaching, student
teacher relationship in order to promote quality and progression. For this, the
institution has a specified procedure to collect and analyze data on student- learning
outcome. The feedback focuses on various teaching skills of the faculty members,
institutional environment as well as student's self-growth and other allied areas.
College gets the evaluation of the teachers and the college done by students. At the
end of every academic year, students give their feedback of individual faculty
member, overall institutional environment and other learning facilities on a prescribed
format.
The College has a clearly set and defined mechanism of obtaining the feedback
from the students to improve performance and quality of the institutional provisions.
The feedback committee consisting of competent teachers collects the exit level
feedback from the Graduate & Post Graduate students regarding learning processes.
The Feedback Committee collects all feedbacks in the form of questionnaires and
discusses the outcomes in the staff meeting. The College takes part in the curriculum
implementation process through appropriate analysis of feedback given. Suggestions
from students are also put forward by staff members in meetings held for curricular
development in their respective departments in the affiliating University. The inputs
are further used to improvise the overall competence of the students and the staff
members.
The overall rating was made on the basis of questions of four categories from the
measures provided in the NAAC manual.
• The first category (A) had questions from -
i) Information provided at the time of admission
ii) Course structure, coverage and supporting facilities
iii) Self Growth
iv) Teacher-student Relationship

SANSKRIT MATRI MANDALAM

SARJANA
Context : In the early nineties, a group of teachers, specially from the departments of Hindi,
English and Sanskrit, felt a need to rejuvenate themselves and redefine their role as
teachers of literature as well. It was felt that by passively conveying the opinions of
critics and teaching literary theories, teachers of literature can never do justice to
the art of arousing the power of creativity lying dormant in the students. The desire
to say and do something original and creative persistently enthused Dr. Savitri
Srivastava, the then Head, Department of Hindi, alongwith like- minded
colleagues, to form a creative platform in the College.
Practice : This intense desire led them to form the core body of Sarjana comprising teachers
and students of literature. It decided to meet once every month and 18th was the
singled out date. The practice of this creative forum was to read out original poems
composed both by the teachers and students. Gradually more and more students
from different departments joined to recite their original poems and read out short
stories. One fondly remembers those years when Sarjana touched a height as
students published hand-written Sarjana magazine containing well edited poems
both by teachers and students. This activity continued for approximately six years.
One must mention the emergence of a little wall magazine, two issues of which
came out successfully. The entire job was accomplished by students and teachers
jointly. Sarjana gradually started celebrating its annual day when renowned writers
from the world of Hindi Literature graced the programme as guests of honour and
encouraged the students and staff members profoundly with their suggestions and
motivation.
Around the seventh year of Sarjana, a different orientation was given to it. Instead
of remaining as a merely literary forum, Sarjana assumed the capacity of a multi-
dimensional platform which promoted, projected and applauded various academic
and cultural activities pursued by students in the college. Quiz, Debate, Essay-
Writing, Oration, on the one hand, supported the academic output of students and
Theatre, Dance, Song, Painting, Rangoli, Mehndi, Flower Decoration and many
other creative activities sustained the extra-curricular and cultural activities of the
students.
Objective : The dynamism of Sarjana is in fact its sheet anchor that has sustained it all these
years of changes and challenges by imparting to it an all inclusive and flexible
attitude. It has diversified its creative identity into myriad branches of academic
and cultural pursuits. In short, Sarjana looks forward
• to enhance the creativity of students
• to enhance the organizational and managerial skill of students
• for overall personality development of students
• to create greater opportunities for students to interact
Impact :- At present, Sarjana is helping a number of students to realize its creative potential
on this platform. It is preparing them to grow in a multi-dimensional manner. They
are prepared for Inter-University cultural and academic competitions and
interactions and meet experts of national level.
The students win not only individual Prizes and Certificates in all the events but
there is a great incentive to win the running shield of Sarjana. B.A. Part-I, Part-II,
Part-III contest fiercely to grab this Running Shield.
