ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION OF J. N. COLLEGE, PASIGHAT: RE-ACCREDITATION REPORT 

GOVERNMENT OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH 

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF HIGHER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION, 

ITANAGAR 

FOREWORD 

The process of the assessment and Re-accreditation of Jawaharlal Nehru 

College, Pasighat, was initiated with the decision taken in the XII Conference of 

Higher and Technical Education, held under the aegis of Directorate of Higher and 

Technical Education, on 22 nd and 23 rd February, 2012 at Itanagar. 

The College was first accredited with B++ in May 2006. Since then 

considerable changes have taken place to improve the performance in academics and 

academia in the College. In recognition of the consistent endeavour of the college 

towards excellence it was given the status of “College with Potential for Excellence” 

(CPE) in 2010. It is incumbent in changing circumstances to assess the College in a 

new light. The human resource of the College has taken a quantum jump in the 

meantime and it needs to be understood where the College stands in its goal for 

holistic development in the 21 st century. The College in its journey towards 

excellence has started Post Graduate programmes in History and Geography in 2011, 

set up a Bio-Tech Hub and integrated modern technological innovations in class room 

teachings. Regular assessment is the need of the hour not only for the sake of, it but 

also for self analysis as to where the College stands in the field of academics so that a 

better educational environment can be created. 

The Government of Arunachal Pradesh is pledged to quality education, and 

the Jawaharlal Nehru College, which is a government college, is looked upon by the 

stakeholders as the premier institution of higher learning in the state. The need for 

quality evaluation, quality sustenance and quality up gradation of the college is 

absolutely necessary. In this regard the steps taken by the National Assessment and 

Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore, for regular assessment are worthwhile. 

Hence, the self evaluation process of the College needs to be validated by the NAAC 

Peer team, so that it can assess the strength and weaknesses of the institution in a 

befitting manner. The assessment will go a long way in keeping the government 

abreast of the developments in the College and also help in strategizing the blueprint 

for the enhancement of quality education in the state at large. 

i


As the Director of Higher and Technical Education is also a alumnus of this 

College, it is the privilege to share my appreciation, on this occasion, with the College 

family headed by Shri Tayek Talom, the Principal, and the Steering Committee, 

headed by Dr. S. N. Panda, for working indefatigably to accomplish the preparation of 

this Re-Accreditation Report (RAR) within the stipulated period of time.

GOVERNMENT OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH 

OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL, JAWAHARLAL NEHRU COLLEGE, 

PASIGHAT 

INTRODUCTION 

Jawaharlal Nehru College is the oldest and the most reputed college of the 

state. Situated in Pasighat (the oldest town of Arunachal Pradesh, established in 1911) 

the College was established in the year 1964 with the profound duty to impart higher 

education to the people of the area. Since then the College has taken a lead in the field 

of higher education by pushing for quality teaching and holistic development of the 

students. The stated mission of the College is ‘To prepare the future generation with 

academic excellence and practical skill set needed to face national and global 

challenges and lead the country into the world of the future’ and with a vision ‘To 

establish our self as a leading college, providing higher education of higher standard 

with integrity, consistency and due diligence.’ Hence it was incumbent on us (and 

also mandated by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh) to get the College assessed 

and accredited by a reputed professional body like the National Assessment and 

Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore during the year 2006. 

The assessment by the NAAC provided valuable insights to the College as to 

its strengths and weaknesses. In light of the same, the College has endeavoured to 

address the areas where the College lagged behind, while further improving on its 

strengths. It needs to be underscored that the College got necessary guidance, skill 

and familiarity in the art of organization of data and articulation and consistent self- 

analysis of data with candid introspection required for sustenance of quality 

education. After a five year hiatus the time has come for Accreditation Cycle 2 for 

which this Re-Accreditation Report, (RAR) has been prepared under the stewardship 

of a senior colleague, Dr.S.N.Panda, Associate Professor and Head of the Department 

of History and helped by a Steering Committee. The Report contains the factual data 

covering virtually all aspects of the College in the prescribed format in the same 

sequential order. 

The college attains its distinct characteristic feature from the fact that it is 

located in a predominantly tribal area and hence the vast majority of the students are 

iii


tribals and many of them belong to the first generation of learners. It is to this group 

of discerning learners that the institution caters to so as to bring them at par with the 

others who are fortunate to be learners, and whose previous generations have soaked 

in the world of books. In the strive towards greater glory and all round development 

the College was selected in 2010 as the “College with Potential for Excellence” by the 

UGC. The College derives its inspiration from the major stakeholders, namely the 

students and the faculty, who consistently participates in the activities of the 

institution. This has helped the Steering Committee to collate and evaluate the data for 

the present Report, which I hope will help the Peer team members to assess and 

validate the same. 

I owe my gratitude to all my colleagues for their cordial co-operation in the 

completion of this Re-Accreditation Report (RAR).

METHODOLOGY 

On completion of five years from the date of accreditation the need for Re- 

Accreditation was felt by the management and the institution. The decision to get this 

College assessed and Re-accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation 

Council (NAAC), Bangalore, was taken in the XII Conference of Higher and 

Technical Education, February, 2012 conducted by the Directorate of Higher and 

Technical Education, Government of Arunachal Pradesh. This was followed by a 

meeting, convened in the College in which the Steering Committee and the Sub- 

Committees were formed for collection and computation of data constituting the first 

part of the Re-Accreditation Report and for presenting a descriptive and 

comprehensive investigation of the functioning of the College under the seven criteria 

on the basis of which the data would be collected, constituting the second part of the 

RAR. 

A series of meetings were held to discuss and explicate the modus operandi 

and complete the RAR with the vigorous and steadfast participation of all the 

members of the College, in general, and those of the Steering Committee, in 

particular. With the steady support of the head of the institution, the coordinator of the 

Steering Committee was able to carry out the task in several sittings of its members. 

The regular discussions with all the committee members helped in the organization of 

the facts and their analyses into a rational and cohesive Re-Accreditation Report for 

the NAAC to comprehend and evaluate the College in the precise perspective. 

The information contained in this RAR is based on the facts and the 

documents available with the College, and the elucidation of data is based on self- 

introspection. I am grateful to the government for extending all the facilities to enable 

me to devote the time necessary to lead the Team and thereby complete this complex 

project.

PART-II 

THE EVALUATIVE REPORT


PART II: Evaluative Report 

The dream of the first premier of Free India was to provide education to the 

masses with a mission to translate his vision of a resurgent India in which the concept 

of inclusive growth was embedded as the milestone of the states’ education policy. 

But to translate this vision into reality, Arunachal Pradesh, the erstwhile NEFA, was 

still looking for a new dawn in the realm of higher education until 1964. Hence it was 

deemed fitting that an institution of higher education was the need of the hour, so that 

the young minds of the area could be developed along the lines of their own genius, 

while keeping pace with the changing educational scenario in India. This dream was 

immortalized with the establishment of Jawaharlal Nehru College at Pasighat on 3 rd 

July 1964. The college thus became the first institution of higher learning in NEFA 

(presently known as Arunachal Pradesh). 

The college initially started functioning on the banks of the river Siang in the 

barracks of Assam Riffles and was later shifted to its present site in 1967. Initially 

the college started humanities courses with 08(eight) faculty members and 42(forty 

two) students, and was first affiliated to Gauhati University. In its course of journey, 

the college was also affiliated to the Punjab University, Chandigarh during 

1980-81, and was finally affiliated to Arunachal University when it was established 

during 1985-86. Presently the strength of the faculty has increased to 63 and the 

students’ enrolment has touched 3294. Today the College, which was recognized by 

UGC under 2(f) and 12B in July 1984, imparts under graduate education in arts, 

science and commerce streams and post graduate education in the faculties of History 

and Geography from the academic session of 2011-12, under the affiliation of Rajiv 

Gandhi University, Itanagar. It is a Government College and has a campus traversing 

an area of 200 acres of land. The campus is divided into two parts; the upper campus 

houses the administrative block, the academic section, which includes classrooms, 

laboratories, library, computer centre cafeteria etc. The lower campus has the 

residences of the Principal, the faculty members, the staff, hostels for resident 

scholars (both boys and girls), a playground, an auditorium, the Entrepreneurship 

Development Cell, the office of the Indira Gandhi National Open University 

(IGNOU), the office of the Institute of Distance Education centre, the office cum 

classroom of the coaching centre for competitive examinations, post office, bank, 

cooperative and guest house etc. 

38


The Arts Faculty has 07 departments, namely, English, Hindi, History, 

Political Science, Economics, Education and Geography. The Science Faculty has 05 

departments namely, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Zoology and Botany. The 

Commerce Faculty imparts education in Commerce subjects. All the departments 

have got Honours and Pass Courses. The College in its pursuit of excellence received 

an academic boost when the UGC accorded it the status of ‘College with Potential 

for Excellence’ in 2010. The departments of Mathematics, Botany, Geography, 

Education and Commerce have been declared as ‘highly rated’ departments by the 

UGC. The College provides education to students of diverse caste, creed, gender, 

religion, region, communities, etc. About 91% of the enrolled students belong to the 

Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) category. The majority (78%) of the 

students are studying in the Arts faculty. The numbers of students who have enrolled 

in the Science departments have increased in the academic session 2012-13 

significantly; they constitute about 16% of the students’ strength. The rest (6%) are 

pursuing their studies in the Commerce faculty. 

The College was first accredited by NAAC Bangalore in 2006 with a B++ 

grade. Since then considerable changes has taken place in the institution in a 

progressive manner. Opening of the P.G. Departments in 2011-12 is a precursor to 

start a State University at Pasighat for which necessary process has already been 

initiated at the Government level. It was against this backdrop a meeting of the heads 

of the departments was held in the Office of the Principal on 29/02/2012 to initiate the 

process of Reaccreditation of the College at the earliest. Modalities of preparation of 

Reaccreditation Report were discussed at length, and a Steering Committee was 

constituted for the purpose with the following members: 

i. Sri Tayek Talom, Principal 

ii. Sri S. R. Choudhury, Vice-Principal 

iii. Dr. S. N. Panda, Coordinator 

iv. Dr. S. D. Choudhury, Member

A . EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

CRITERION – I 

CURRICULAR ASPECTS 

As an affiliated college to Rajiv Gandhi University the college lacks freedom 

to design courses according to the local needs of the people on its own, but the Board 

of studies of Rajiv Gandhi University, in which the College has substantial presence 

by virtue of its premier status, takes into account the suggestions from the college in 

incorporating the local, regional as well as the national needs while designing the 

curriculum for the students. 

The College provides degrees in the faculties of Arts, Science and Commerce 

up to Honours level. As a natural progression to higher courses Post Graduate 

programme in History and Geography has been introduced since 2011-12. As 

enunciated in the goals and objectives of the institution, we leave no stone unturned in 

order to develop over-all personality of the students. Besides imparting classroom 

teaching, the teachers encourage the students to develop their skills in various other 

fields. Seminars, lectures, symposiums, debates, etc., are conducted to supplement the 

curricular activities. The College conducts House Tests in order to assess the 

academic performance of the Undergraduate students and Semester system to assess 

the P.G. students. Remedial coaching, submission of projects in Environmental 

Studies, field tours etc. supplement the teaching-learning experience in a substantial 

manner. A humble attempt has also been made to integrate ICT process into the 

classroom teaching. Admission process has been simplified and a beginning has been 

made to enrol students through online admission. 

CRITERION – II 

TEACHING, LEARNING & EVALUATION 

The admission process of the College is quite transparent. The students are 

admitted to the College on the basis of the marks secured in the qualifying 

examination. There is a calendar session in the College and classes are held regularly 

as per schedule. The College follows the curriculum prescribed by the Rajiv Gandhi 

University. All faculty members have been selected strictly according to the UGC 

norms; NET/SLET qualification is a must for all the new appointees. Thirty five 

faculty members out of a total strength of sixty three are PhD holders, one D.Litt. and 

40


others are actively pursuing their research for the same. Though there is no provision 

of guiding the research scholars by our faculty members under the umbrella of the 

affiliated university still six of the faculty members have acted as Supervisor to guide 

M.Phil. and Ph.D students registered under the private universities. 

The faculty members constantly update their knowledge by attending refresher 

courses, seminars, workshops, conferences and by consulting the reference books, 

journals, etc., in their subjects. Almost 35% of the rank holders in the Rajiv Gandhi 

University in different subjects at graduation level are from this College. The pass 

percentage in the final examination of 2010 -11 in different subjects is more than 

68%. The result in the University examination bears testimony to the sincere efforts 

put in by the teachers in the teaching, learning and evaluation process. The College 

also follows strict and effective evaluation process. Individual teachers conduct class- 

tests regularly and accordingly suggest remedial measures. The house test is 

conducted in the middle of the session, which serves the same purpose. The RGU 

Evaluation Centre too has started functioning in the college since 2010-11. J.N. 

College is the only college in the state to have this privileged status. 

The faculty members are recruited through Public Service Commission of the 

state. The vacancies are advertised in leading national dallies and in the Employment 

news. The Commission strictly follows the recruitment rules laid down by the UGC. 

The Director of Higher and Technical Education, Government of Arunachal Pradesh 

monitors the entire process. The Principal of the College maintains ‘Annual 

Confidential Report’ which is reviewed at the time of promotion and for the 

evaluation of the individual teachers. The College also has the system of the self- 

appraisal of the teachers. The Quality Assurance Cell monitors the mechanism for 

gathering feed-back from the students on performance of the teachers. Though we are 

not able to conduct tutorial classes due to infrastructure and staff shortage, still our 

teachers guide the students even out side their classes and help them according to 

their needs. Remedial teaching is done along with supply of reading materials to the 

targeted group. The College being a residential institution, teachers are available to 

the students almost 24 hours a day and there is active interaction between the two in 

the institution.

CRITERION – III 

RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION 

The College imparts teaching up to degree level and hence it is not a 

recognized centre for PhD. Post Graduate programme has been introduced since 2011 

no doubt, but still without the Ph.D. programme. Hence research activities amongst 

students and staff are promoted by our faculty members by way of registration in 

private and Open Universities. In the last five years as a result of this initiative one 

Ph.D, and two M.Phil. students have been awarded their degree, guided by our faculty 

members. Six of the faculty members have been recognized as guides for carrying out 

independent research. Research publication from the College (50 articles and 13 

books; three of them international publication) speaks in volume the active 

involvement of the faculty in research work. The College promotes research activity 

by granting study leave to such teachers who have not completed their PhD. Besides, 

many of the faculty members are engaged in carrying out UGC funded research 

projects (minor and major) at their own level. In the last five years 7 minor projects 

have been completed, and 1 major project, 5 minor projects and 15 CPE funded 

college level projects are ongoing. 

The College offers consultancy services in the area of entrepreneurship 

development. The Entrepreneur Development Cell guides effective action in this 

front. The College conducts extension works mainly under the auspicious of NSS, 

NCC, and Rovers and rangers unit of the College. The extension services, like social 

service, adult literacy, health awareness programme, blood-donation camps, etc., are 

very often organized. AIDS awareness programmes have also been organised on 

several occasions by our science club. The members of the College also participate in 

the relief and rescue measures at the time of national calamities like flood and 

landslides. 

A Language Laboratory has been made functional with latest hardware and 

software to give the students a strong phonetic backup in their study of English 

language. 

The College Library, which is the oldest in the state, is the nerve centre of all 

kinds of teaching, learning and research activities of the students and the staff 

members. Addition of internet and reprography facility provides the right kind of 

ambience for academic pursuit of a higher genre. The Computer centre, with VSAT 

42


facility aids and assists the students and the staff to integrate ICT process into class 

room teaching and research. 

CRITERION – IV 

INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES 

The infrastructure of the College sprawls over an area of 200 acres of land, 

which is divided into two campuses. The upper campus, situated at the Hill Top, 

mainly consists of academic and administrative building. Hostels, staff residential 

quarters, auditorium play ground, etc., are situated in the lower campus. In the upper 

campus, all practical departments have separate blocks of their own. The College 

administrative block consists of Principal’s office, establishment branch, accounts 

branch, academic branch and staff common room. Besides, there is a library building 

and about eighty two big and small class-rooms, a canteen, separate units for running 

offices of extension activities like NCC, NSS, and EDC, etc., in the upper campus. 

The lower campus has ten hostels for boys and girls, where about eight hundred 

students reside. In addition to this there is Principal’s residence and several 

Government Quarters: - Type–IV - 35 Nos.; Type–III - 20 Nos.; Type–II - 22 Nos.; 

Type–I - 12 Nos.; Transit Lodges - 20 Nos. in the lower campus. Besides that a 

spacious Auditorium, IGNOU Study Centre, Institute of Distance Education, 

Remedial Coaching Centre, EDC, Guest House, Health check up unit, Cooperative 

Stores, Extension Counter of Arunachal Pradesh Rural Bank and a Sub-Post Office in 

the lower campus adds to the huge infrastructure facilities available in the college. 

Growth of infrastructure in the last five years is on a fast pace with financial 

support from the state government’s special plan assistance, UGC, DoNEAR, DST 

etc. As a result 13 infrastructure projects with a total amount of `8,32,73,115/ are on 

various stages of completion subject to flow of funds from year to year. 

Computerisation and integration of the ICT process to teaching learning, 

research and administration of the college has been the thrust area of development in 

the last couple of years. Grant of CPE status to the college facilitated this drive to a 

considerable extent. As a result of liberal funds flow from the UGC and DST the IT 

assets of the college has grown considerably. Thus a humble beginning has been made 

to introduce our students to the concept of digital class room. Use of technology has 

been made to make the teaching learning process more interactive and interesting. 

43


Meanwhile the IT assets of the college has reached a level of 72 desktops, 50 laptops, 

20 LCD projectors and 25 printers, the benefits of which has been taken by almost 

every stakeholders of the college. 

The College has one of the richest libraries in the state. The number of titles in 

the library is 37,768, which are classified under different heads. The library has a 

spacious reading room where students are provided with newspapers, magazines, 

journals and reference books etc. To accommodate the growing number of students 

the College is planning to shift the library to a spacious building with all modern 

facilities, which is in the last leg of completion. The library provides services from 

10.00 a.m. to 04.00 p.m. on all working days. The library services have been 

upgraded with a network resource centre, reprography facilities, fax etc. 

The auditorium in the lower campus has the capacity to accommodate 

approximately 500 persons. It acts as a recreation centre for our students when it is 

not used for meetings. There is also a play ground in the lower campus where students 

play out-door games like football, volleyball, hockey, basketball, etc. Indoor games 

are played in the present auditorium. The College provides gymnastics and weight 

lifting apparatus to our students to keep them fit. The Physical Training Instructor of 

the College monitors all such activities. 

Adequate number of staff quarters in the lower campus makes the college a 

truly residential one. However hostel buildings for the students has almost reached 

zero depreciation level. Hence repair, or renovation of these hostels is not considered 

viable. As an alternative therefore, initiative has been taken to build RCC building 

with financial assistance from UGC, DoNEAR and the state government. This 

initiative has resulted in the construction of one boys and one girls’ hostel in the last 

five years. One more girls’ hostel is in the pipeline with UGC funding. 

CRITERION – V 

STUDENTS’ SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION 

The result of the University Examination of the College in the final year is 

quite satisfactory. The Science faculty from the college leads our students in bagging 

nearly 70 percent of the top ten rank holders of the university. Our faculty members 

make every effort to provide support and guidance to our students both inside the 

44


College and even beyond study hours. They are always available to give them 

academic and career oriented guidance knowing their strength and weaknesses. 

The Alumni Association of the college lists the top of the luminaries of the 

state, who leads the state almost in every field. Those alumni who hold high public 

offices in the state include Chief Ministers, Ministers, both in the State and the 

Centre, besides, more than 75% of the State’s Civil Servants, IAS / IPS officers, 

social activists, Educationists, prominent writers at national level, are alumni of this 

College. 

The College has a separate Career Counselling and Guidance Cell, where 

students are given proper counselling and guidance about the preparation for 

employability in their future life. The UGC Centre for Coaching for Entry in Services 

carries out coaching programmes for aspirants of civil services, banking and other 

jobs. The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) conducts training programmes 

regularly in order to develop skills amongst the students to make them successful 

entrepreneurs in future life. The placement cell in the college provides employment 

related information to the students. Liaison with industry for placement is not 

considered feasible because of the remoteness of the state and mainly because the 

college caters to the general education category. 

The Government of Arunachal Pradesh provides stipend to all tribal students 

who are admitted in the College. Besides UGC merit scholarship and conveyance 

allowance is also given to a selected few to inspire others to follow their peers in 

merit level. 

Since 2006 it has been a mandatory practice in the college to hold departmental 

seminar for the students every year as a personality development initiative. Students 

are encouraged to present papers and face questions from the audience. Besides in the 

state level and college level seminar students are guided to present research papers on 

various themes. Our students are also encouraged to write in the College magazine, 

which is published every year to bring out their hidden talent in this field. The 

students also participate in the Youth Festival organised by the Rajiv Gandhi 

University every alternate years and this Festival further encourages the students to 

develop their skills in games and sports as well as literary and cultural fields. During 

the college week celebration every year sports, literary and cultural competitions are 

held to promote talent hunting among the students.

CRITERION – VI 

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT 

Since ours is a Government College, it runs as per state government’s 

directives from time to time. There is a separate Directorate of Higher Education 

under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Government of Arunachal 

Pradesh. The Director, who heads the Directorate of Higher Education, is overall in 

charge of the affairs of the government Colleges of the state. The Principal of the 

College looks after the administrative and academic matters of the College at the local 

level. However, there is a College Management Committee to help the Principal in the 

management of the College. The Deputy Commissioner, East Siang District, Pasighat 

is the Chairman of the Committee; the Principal is the ex-officio Secretary. In addition 

to the Chairman and the Secretary, there are members, which include local MLA, 

some senior faculty members of the College and eminent local people. The Principal 

assisted by 11 numbers of ministerial staff and 33 number of Group – IV employees, 

looks after the establishment and day to day activities of the College. Functional 

autonomy has been given to the Heads of Departments and several Committees to 

look after the academic and administrative affairs of the college under the overall 

supervision of the Principal. 

As far as financial management is concerned, principal sends the proposals to 

the government, which are reflected in the AOP. Whatever funds are sanctioned 

through AOP, the College has to spend that amount within the budgetary provision. 

The College collects three types of fee from the students. The Tuition Fee is deposited 

in the government treasury and the University Fee is deposited to the University. The 

College Development Fee collected from the students is used by the Principal for the 

development and management of different activities in the College. 

The College library is managed by a Librarian and three technical staff 

designated as Library Assistants. The Computer Centre in the upper campus is 

managed by a qualified technical staff with (MCA) and two faculty members 

designated for the purpose. There are thirteen departments in the College. The 

responsibility of managing the departments lies with the Heads of each department on 

behalf of the Principal. Normally the senior-most faculty member of the department 

undertakes such responsibility. They conduct departmental meetings to streamline the 

affairs of their respective departments. 

46


The Disciplinary Committee in the College, which comprises of the Principal 

and some senior faculty members, looks after maintenance of discipline in the 


The appraisal of the faculty members and the staff are done through “Annual 

Confidential Reports” written by the Principal, which is kept confidential and is used 

at the time of promotion. There is also a system of submission of Self Appraisal by 

our faculty members, which is examined by the Principal, and then is forwarded to the 

higher authority which is also considered at the time of placement in the upper scale / 

promotion. 

The Grievance Redressal cell in the College, headed by the Principal and 

assisted by some faculty members redresses the grievance of the students in an 

appropriate manner. The RTI cell further provides opportunity to one and all to seek 

justice through right to information. 

Advisors who are selected or elected from our faculty members monitor the 

different co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of the College. They are also 

entrusted with the responsibility of encouraging the students in participating in 

different activities. A duly elected students’ union lends its helping hand to the 

college authority in managing extra-curricular activities in the college. 

The Hostel Superintendents look after the day-to-day affairs of the College 

hostels. The Prefects of the hostels are selected or elected by the boarders in order to 

assist the hostel Superintendents. There is a mess manager in each hostel either 

elected or selected by the students in order to manage the mess with the help of two 

cooks appointed by the Principal. It is compulsory for the boarders to take food in the 

hostel mess on monthly payment basis. 

The College canteen is entirely managed by a private contractor and is 

monitored by Canteen in charge who is one of our faculty members. The essential 

edible items are available at reasonable and affordable prices only to the staff and the 

students of our College. 

CRITERION – VII 

HEALTHY PRACTICES 

The College has a functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell to ensure the 

timely quality enhancement of the services provided. It prepares annual perspective 

47


plan at the beginning of every academic session. On the basis of this planning review 

of syllabus coverage is done in Oct-Nov. every year in separate meeting with every 

teaching department. In order to boost the morale of the prospective rank holders a 

meeting is held with five toppers of every department and they are provided with 

special assistance from the teaching faculty to perform the best in their examination. 

The College is sensitized with latest managerial concepts such as strategic planning, 

teamwork and decision-making. The process of computerization in the college has 

been taken up in a fast pace to provide the benefit of technology to all the 

stakeholders. 

The College makes every effort to impart value-based education to the 

students. It organises lectures, seminars, yoga classes, and physiotherapy sessions in 

collaboration with Vivekananda Kendra, Arun Jyoti, and other NGOs. Organizing 

health camp, environmental rally, blood donation camp etc. boost the moral and 

ethical values of the students. The science club organizes different programmes to 

create awareness about science education and to inculcate in our students a scientific 

temper. Such healthy practices certainly help in all-round personality development of 

our students. The NCC and NSS wings including Rovers and Rangers of the College 

help in inculcating civic responsibilities among the students. These wings conduct 

social works and organize different camps in remote villages. 

In fact, the Jawaharlal Nehru College has contributed so much for the 

development of the state and has done such pioneering works in the field of 

academics, that people outside the state often know Pasighat town through J. N. 

College. With a mission to take this tag to a new height Post Graduate Programmes 

have been introduced in the college since 2011 as a pilot project, and we hope to 

introduce research programmes soon as the state government is facilitating the 

establishment of a state university in the present campus.

Criterion I: Curricular Aspects 

1.1 Curriculum Design and Development 

1.1.1 State the vision and mission of the institution, and how it is 

communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders? 

The Institute’s logo represents the selected portion of well-known shloka from 

the Bṛihadāraṇyaka Upanishad (I.iii.28) “Asato ma sadgamaya tamaso ma 

jyotirgamaya mrtyorma amrtam gamaya” which means “Lead me from all that is 

untrue and unreal to what is real and true. Lead me from darkness to light; ignorance 

to knowledge. Lead me from death to immortality”. 

The five stars inside the elliptical rings symbolises the five original 

administrative divisions of erstwhile NEFA (Arunachal Pradesh). The fruit laden tree 

in the centre reflects the efflorescence of knowledge from the cradle of learning 

amidst the greenery of the campus. 

Our Vision 

To establish our self as a leading College, providing higher education of excellence 

with integrity, consistency and due diligence.

body, mind and spirit. 

Promote Social Justice, Empowerment and Inclusive Growth through 

Education. 

The College was established in 1964 with the avowed vision to further the 

cause of higher education in the state; till 1978 this College remained the only 

institution of higher learning in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The College has been 

endeavouring to impart quality education, keeping in mind the changing educational 

scenario in the country. The students, majority of who belong to the Scheduled tribe 

of the state, are kept abreast of the times by inculcating into them the ideas of socio- 

cultural unity amidst diversity. Till date many students are first time learners and 

come from remote villages which are still bereft of modern amenities of life. The 

College provides them with not only their educational requirements but infuses them 

with the advantages of information technology. Some of the departments are equipped 

with smart teaching aids which allow the learners to come out of the hackneyed stage 

of rote learning and indulge in innovative education. It has not only widened their 

horizon but broadened their interest in higher education. A dedicated team of faculty 

and staff, drawn different parts of India, guide the students in their academic pursuits.

done, are approved by the Academic Council of the University and then 

communicated to the College. 

1.1.3.1 How does the curriculum cater to inclusion / integration of 

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the curriculum , 

for equipping the students to compete in the global employment 

markets ? 

As per the existing courses this facility is not available. But the College has 

introduced Smart Classrooms in some selected departments with a view to 

introduce technological innovations to facilitate classroom teaching. Further 

the College has a Computer Centre which imparts computer education to the 

interested students and equips them to compete in the job market in the field of 

information technology. 

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives and contributions of the institution in the 

curriculum design and development process.

The annual conferences of the Higher and Technical Education are the forum 

for discussing the curricula, where the faculty members of the Colleges 

54


interact with the Faculty members of the Rajiv Gandhi University and officers 

of the Directorate of Higher and Technical Education. From time to time the 

meetings are held in the College discuss about quality sustenance and quality 

enhancement measures. In this regard the following meetings are held in every 

academic session: 

1. At the beginning of the academic session meetings are held to discuss the 

results of the various classes in which all the faculties of different departments 

are present. These meetings, chaired by the Principal, are conducted 

department-wise. 

2. In the month of October a meeting is held in which five students of second 

year pass/honours from each department, who had secured the highest marks 

in their respective pass/honours subjects, interact with the faculties and the 

Principal so that they can improve further in their third years’ examination. 

There they are given tips for better performance in the annual examination.

5.1.2 What are the efforts made by the Institution to minimize the dropout rate 

and facilitate the students to complete the course? 

11 

111 

To minimise dropout rate the APST students, admitted in the College, 

are provided with incentives like stipend and book grant from the Government 

of Arunachal Pradesh. Besides, the College encourages the poor and 

meritorious students to apply for UGC stipend and conveyance allowance. The 

career counselling and guidance cell encourages students to search for job 

opportunities during students’ career, which acts as an effective deterrent 

against possible dropout. However, Science students looking for switch over 

to technical and professional courses normally opt for change in the 

institution, which is the main reason for slow rate (1-2 %) of dropout in the 

College.


5.1.3 On an average, what percentage of the students progress to further 

studies and for employment? Give details for the last two years. (UG to 

PG to Ph.D and/ or to employment) 

112 

Students’ progression for higher studies is limited to only ten (10) 

percent of the students as opportunities for higher studies is limited in this 

tribal state. The economic condition of the students (coming from rural and 

tribal background) compels them to search for employment after graduation. 

The population density of Arunachal Pradesh is the lowest in the country and 

flow of per capita developmental assistance is the highest in the country which 

enables the eighty (80) percent of students to get employment after their 

graduation. (The State Govt. is the largest employer in the state.) 

5.1.4 How does the institution facilitate the placement of its outgoing Students? 

What proportions of the graduating students have been employed? 

(average of last five years ) 

a) The UGC sponsored Career Counselling and Guidance Cell provides the 

placement service to the students. However, the remote location of the state 

limits our ability to reach out to the industry for arranging placement. Despite 

that, Wipro, conducted campus recruitment at Pasighat in 2009 for recruiting 

employees in BPO sector. Vijaya Bank and HDFC Bank are also approached 

to recruit our students for their new branches in the state. 

b) Generating self-employment and training the students for seeking Government 

jobs has been identified as the thrust area of placement drive from the College 

side. In Arunachal Pradesh the state Govt. is the largest employer and almost 

80% of the passed out graduates gets job in the Govt. sector. The rest carry on 

self-employment in a varied scale. Hence three different cells, EDC,CES and 

CCG carry out a number of training programmes throughout the year to enable 

the students for employment. 

a) Activity of the Career Counselling and Placement Cell: 

The Cell regularly collects various advertisements and notifies 

the same in the students’ notice Boards.

pass out students to enable them find suitable employment in 

Government and Private sector.

how the institution. 

126 

a. Ensures that the vision and mission of the institution is in tune 

with the objectives of the Higher Education policies of the 

Nation? 

b. Translates its vision statement into its activities? 

The vision and mission statement of the institution, mentioned in criterion 1: 

(Curricular aspects), is achieved by absolute dedication and the whole-hearted 

efforts of all the stake holders; the students, the teaching and the non- teaching 

staffs, local community, District administration and the Department of 

Education, Government of Arunachal Pradesh. 

The Higher education policy of the Nation serves as the guideline in 

preparing the course structure and promoting inclusive growth in the field of 

education. 

As a part of the faculty development programme teachers are allowed to avail 

of every opportunity to conduct and participate in the workshops, seminars, 

conferences etc. which equip them with knowledge, experience and expertise 

to teach the students effectively and guide them to be useful citizen for the 

society. 

Students are made aware of the specific goals and objectives of the College, 

and the academic programmes planned to be launched, in the beginning of 

every academic session by engaging the students in a free interaction session 

with members of the faculty chaired by the Principal. As the classroom 

teaching is learner-centered, the students are allowed to take initiatives and 

interactive sessions with the teachers to internalize knowledge and master the 

skills to assimilate and recapitulate the learning in real life situations.


6.1.2 Enumerate the management’s commitment, leadership-role and 

involvement for effective and efficient transaction of the teaching- 

learning processes. 

The management of the College, which normally rests with the Government 

establishment, is committed for effective and efficient transaction of the 

teaching-learning processes. This is evident from the financial support and 

posting of adequate number of faculty in all departments. Promotion of 

Science education in this premier institution is specially taken care of by 

providing liberal grant for up gradation of Laboratory, purchase of new 

equipments and gradual shift towards ICT based teaching in the class room. 

Special grant from the Union Ministry of Science and Technology, New 

Delhi for this purpose clearly spells out the involvement and leadership role 

of the management in effectively assisting the teaching learning process. 

6.1.3 How does the management and the Head of the institution ensure that 

responsibilities are defined and communicated to the staff of the 

institution? 

As this College is a government institution it is fully managed by the 

government process and rules and regulation in operation to control that 

process from time to time. The Head of the Institution follows the policy of 

devolution of responsibility by empowering the Head of Department of every 

subject to control academic management at the ground level. Besides, a 

number of Committees have been constituted, headed by the members of 

teaching faculty to look after the various functions of the College. Official 

communication on devolution of power, function and responsibility is 

managed in a transparent process by official order followed by meeting and 

discussion whenever necessary on important issues. 

6.1.4 How does the Management/ Head of the institution ensure that adequate 

information (from feedback) is available for the management, to review 

the activities of the institution? 

127 

The management mandatorily gets periodical feedback on various 

activities of the institution from the principal in a management process clearly 

defined at the Government level. Review of the Annual Confidential Report


and Self Assessment Report of the employees helps the Head of the Institution 

and the Management to regulate the activities of the institution. The State 

Level Quality Assurance Cell at the office of the Director of Higher and 

Technical Education, Itanagar regulates the feedback assessment process and 

issues guidelines to the Colleges to initiate measures for quality enhancement 

in the teaching and management process of the institution. 

6.1.5 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff 

for improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional 

processes? 

128 

In order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional 

processes the management encourage and support involvement of the staff by 

instituting the Best Teacher Award to recognise the services of the teaching 

faculty. Every year in the Higher Education Conference, held at Itanagar in the 

month of February this coveted award is given to two best Lecturers in 

recognition of their contribution to the state in the field of education. At the 

College level the Principal has introduced the process of recognising the 

services of the best employee from the grade-C and grade-D staff by giving 

the Best Employee Award to one member of the non-teaching staff during the 

Republic Day Celebration. 

6.1.6 Describe the leadership role of the Head of the institution, in governance 

and management of the institute. 

The Secretary, Education, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh, is the apex 

authority of the department of Education and the Director of Higher and 

Technical Education is the executive head. The Principal carries out the order 

of the Government to manage the College as the head of the institution with

General Hospital, undertaking cleanliness drive in the College campus, 

working together with the people of the villages during special camps on 

issues like adult education, female education, health and sanitation etc.


provide the students the necessary inputs to promote action for social justice 

on their own. 

150 

Students’ Union activities also train the students in the process of 

understanding civic responsibilities. This training not only strengthens the 

foundation of democracy in this tribal state, it also lays down the foundation 

for nation building from this tribal hinterland. 

7.3 Stakeholder Relationships

the noble task of spreading higher education in the state since 1964. Its 

Premier and Unique status is equally strengthened by the huge infrastructure 

available today for pursuing higher education with dedication. 

151 

Results of the College in the University Examination are often the talk 

of the town as most Top Ten positions in every faculty is bagged by this 

College on a consistent basis. For pursuing Science education this College 

provides ambience and facilities to the students, which is rarely available in 

any other College in the state. Off course, maintaining the huge infrastructure 

is a genuine problem, and providing matching infrastructure and faculty to 

match the growing number of students is equally challenging, still at the end 

of the day the stakeholders feel satisfied that despite immense difficulties the 

result is good for the students in University Examinations.

functions the students are encouraged to present and enact the folk songs 

,dances, tales, and social practices of their respective tribe, the ways of 

life of the people and challenges to the traditions and culture of the tribal

necessity. Every year a nearby village is identified for annual camp. 

Volunteers from the College unit visit such village to perform community 

service related to the needs of the villagers. For example works like re- 

construction of the village road, cleaning the surrounding, repair of local 

irrigation canals etc. are often carried out with active participation of the 

village community. In special camps, awareness programmes on issues like 

health, hygiene, food, nutrition etc. are carried out in collaboration with the 

health and other departments.

academic benchmarks? Do you update the approach in view of the 

current and future educational needs and challenges?

The academic benchmark set by the institution is duly explained to the 

students at the beginning of every academic session in the induction meeting. 

The premier status of this institution in the academic map of the state naturally 

creates enthusiasm among the students to abide by this benchmark. Focus of 

ICT based teaching constantly helps the faculty members to update their 

approaches to the current challenges and educational needs of the future.

programmes in a varied manner. A glimpse of these programmes is 

highlighted in the local news papers from time to time. At the time of 

admission the prospectus is provided which gives the details of the support 

programmes. In addition to this the College has launched merit-reward scheme 

to grant admission fee exemption to selected students falling under this 

category.

managed to bag the first and second positions in the top ten ranks of the 

university result of the year 2010-11.


D: SUMMARY 

The higher education scenario in Arunachal Pradesh moves in sync with the 

major development initiative carried forward in the newly created states in the post 

independence era. The vision of Jawaharlal Nehru to develop North East Frontier 

Agency (NEFA) along the model encompassed in the “PHILOSOPHY OF NEFA” 

written by Verrier Elwin, resulted in the establishment of the first College in then 

NEFA Head Quarters, Pasighat, in 1964. Today’s Arunachal Pradesh (Erstwhile 

NEFA) thus takes the pride of having Jawaharlal Nehru College, Pasighat as the 

cradle of Higher Education for the entire population of the state. Till 1979 it was the 

sole College in the state to cater to the higher education needs of its people in all the 

three streams - Arts, Science and Commerce. As such this College takes the pride of 

producing the first generation of the Statesmen and Bureaucrats, who comprises the 

top layer of the elites working in every field of the state today. 

This tradition of state building has been carried forward consistently since 

then by a celebrated faculty team drawn from almost every corner of India. The 

challenge since the very beginning is to accommodate the fact that about 95% of the 

students of this College belongs to the Scheduled Tribes population of this state. As 

per the state policy the package of stipend and other concessional benefits for 

pursuing higher studies is always made available to all the ST students. The courses 

of studies meant for them has been designed in a manner that is bound to be 

responsive to their needs, which revolves around general education, with the specific 

aim of proliferation of higher education among the youths so as to enable them to 

seek gainful employment to support themselves and their families after getting the 

degrees of academic achievement. 

With the avowed objective to carry this mission fast forward proposal was 

submitted to the UGC, New Delhi for grant of CPE status to the College in 2009-10 

academic session. The affiliating university RGU, Itanagar also recommended the 

case of this premier institution for grant of CPE status. Accordingly CPE status was 

granted to this College, making it the only College in Arunachal Pradesh to be proud 

of this coveted status. 

165


In the following academic session (2010-11) proposal was also submitted to 

the affiliating university for the opening of Post Graduate Courses in all the three 

faculties. Accordingly the Feasibility Study Team from RGU visited the College in 

the month of February 2011. On their submission of report to the State Government 

and to the RGU, permission was granted to start Post Graduate Courses in two 

Departments- History and Geography as a pilot project with effect from the 2011-12 

academic session. In the same academic session (2010-11) The RGU also granted J.N. 

College, Pasighat the status of being the only off-campus Examination Evaluation 

Centre to assist the university effectively in the examination process. 

In tune with the status of the state as a bio-diversity hot spot in the country, 

Botany Dept. of the College initiated the process to start a Biotech Hub in the 

College, which was sanctioned by the Dept. of Biotechnology, New Delhi with an 

outlay of `27 Lac in 2011-12. 

As a matter of fact this College has taken upon itself the added responsibility 

to impart both quality and general education to the students with the aim of inspiring 

upward mobility for the aspiring students both within and outside the institution. 

Teaching these students therefore requires consistency and correlation between the 

goals and objectives and the courses of studies designed for them. Transparency in the 

process, effective monitoring of admissions, examinations, use of the student-support 

services and physical facilities available in the College, organization of infrastructure 

commensurate with academic growth, timely notification of the details of all the 

processes, management of finance, budgeting and auditing and competent academic 

and vocational guidance and counselling etc calls for high level of dedication to the 

goal from all the stakeholders involved in the whole process. 

Since this College is a Government College from the very beginning, financial 

allocation has been quite liberal for developing the huge infrastructure, it is proud of 

today. Thus, this College has been moving hand in hand with co-operation and 

contribution of all the students and the teaching and the non teaching staffs, giving 

and receiving feedback at every step, making way for expert monitoring for bringing 

about the desirable modifications and improvements among the learners, who act as 

catalyst for inducing the society to embrace the fruits of education and thereby uplift 

their social conditions and standard of living. 

Situated in the oldest town of the state, PASIGHAT, this College bids fair to 

develop fast with the infrastructure available in it and the accommodation available 

166


for the students in the town. In order to foster qualitative improvement seat limits 

have been initiated necessitating suitable curtailment in the number of the aspiring 

students, but with the availability of essential infrastructure and human resource 

commensurate with the academic development, the student-population is bound to 

rise proportionately in the coming years. Moreover, the need for launching of 

vocational courses has already been duly felt, and the state government has been 

sensitized on this issue in the Higher Education Conference, held at Itanagar in 

February 2011. There is profound optimism at the College level that with the addition 

of such courses and opening of more P.G Departments in future, this College is sure 

to retain its coveted status as the premier institution of higher education in the whole 

state and carve out a niche for itself in the N.E. region. 

167


E. Suggestions of ‘Peer Team-2006’ & Action Taken Report 

1. The College may take initiative to introduce courses in innovative and 

emerging areas of studies such as Biotechnology, Human Rights, 

Communicative English, Travel and Tourism Management, Interior 

Decoration, Martial Arts, Disaster Management, Folklore etc. 

168 

The College has already initiated the opening of a Biotech Hub from 

the academic session 2012-13 and necessary fund for such a venture has 

already been sanctioned by the Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi. The 

College hopes to introduce short term courses in Biotechnology in a phased 

manner from the ensuing session. A proposal has been submitted to the Union 

Ministry of HRD for starting a certificate course on Human Rights. Necessary 

approval is awaited in this direction. The Language Laboratory has been made 

functional to promote courses on Communicative English, but due to shortage 

of teaching faculty additional courses is still deferred as a possible future 

project. Facility for other courses is available presently with the IGNOU 

centre functioning in the College. 

2. The College may establish a Language Centre. 

The Language Laboratory of the College has been established with a 

capacity to accommodate 10 students at a time and very soon it will be 

expanded to cater to the needs of a majority of students of all the three 

streams. 

3. The College Library needs to be computerized with internet and Xerox 

facilities and new books in the book bank. 

The College library has been partly computerized with the installation 

of INFLIBIT software and the process of creation of database of all the books, 

available in the library, is currently being carried out by the technical staff of 

the College library. 

Internet and Xerox facilities have also been provided in the library to 

keep abreast of the latest happening around the world and to provide written 

supplements of the available materials through printing and photocopying.


169 

The library is also replenished with fresh stocks of new reference 

books at regular intervals so as to make the teachers and students up-to-date at 

par with national mainstream. 

4. The College may take initiative for developing collaborative linkages in 

national and international levels. 

The Dept. of Commerce of the College has undertaken collaborative 

ventures with North Eastern Industrial and Technical Consultancy 

Organisation (NEITCO), Guwahati, Small Industrial Development Bank of 

India (SIDBI), Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE) and Entrepreneur 

Development Institute (EDI) to carry out entrepreneurship development 

programmes in the College. Dr. Deba Prasad Panda, Associate Professor, 

Dept. of Commerce has undergone Faculty Development Training in EDI. The 

IIE has also imparted training to Sri M.K. Jana, Associate Professor of 

Commerce, Dr. K.K. Bhattacharjee, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Dr. 

(Mrs.) Sulekha Bose, Associate Professor of Zoology. With these 

collaborative links the Entrepreneur Development Cell in the College has been 

carrying out regular training programme for the students and local 

entrepreneurs since last eight years. 

5. The College may establish a Research Committee for monitoring and 

promotion of Research. 

The Research Committee of the College has already been formed 

headed by Dr. S.N. Jha, Associate professor, Dept. of Geography for the 

promotion of Research. The publication of a Research Journal from the 

College has been taken up in the current academic session to provide a 

congenial atmosphere for research and development of academics and 

academia. Fifteen (15) research projects funded by UGC – CPE have been 

undertaken by the faculty members of the College, since 2011. 

6. The teachers may take initiative for preparation of computer aided 

teaching materials. 

Commerce Department of the College have been fully digitized and 

the classes are being taken in four other Highly Rated departments- 

Mathematics, Botany, Geography and Education (as per the CPE grant status) 

through power point presentations and smart boards. At least 20 Multimedia 

Projectors and 40 laptops have been provided to the teachers to carry out this


task. Other Departments too have been making use of computer aided teaching 

materials to give the experience of digital classes to their students in a phased 

manner. The College hopes to digitize all the classrooms fully in the next five 

years. 

7. A teacher may be designated for extension activities of the College. 

170 

As a follow up action, apart from the regular extension activities 

conducted by the NCC, NSS and Rovers and Rangers Units of the College, 

separate committees have been constituted in which faculty members have 

been designated for carrying out extension activities of the College like 

environmental awareness, adult literacy and health awareness etc. Shri Narmi 

Darang, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, has been appointed as 

the Extension Officer to coordinate extension activities in the College. 

8. The College may establish a placement Cell. 

The Career Counselling and Guidance Cell of the College have been 

actively conducting programmes at regular intervals so as to prepare the 

students of the College for different jobs and provide them with placement 

opportunities. In the last three years the organizations which visited the 

College for placement are Vijaya Bank and Wipro. Sh. Narang Tari, Assistant 

Professor, Department of Political Science, has been appointed as the 

Placement Officer. 

9. The College may establish a health centre. 

For the establishment of a health centre in the College correspondence 

was initiated with the Deputy Director of Health Services, Govt. of Arunachal 

Pradesh in the month of July 2006. The matter was further taken up with the 

Health Minister when he visited the College during College Week 

Celebrations in November 2006 but no positive reply has been received yet as 

the College authority has been appraised of the distance factor, which is just 

half a kilometre from the College to the district HQ hospital. Under these 

circumstances the College has mobilized its internal resources to set up a 

health unit for basic health check up and first aid. 

10. The College may open a Centre for Women Studies. 

The women cell of the College has been constituted in the post 

accreditation stage and feasibility study is being undertaken to start a Centre 

for Women Studies.


11. The Computer facilities may be further developed in the College. 

171 

The Computer Centre of the College has been revamped replacing all 

the old computers with the new ones compatible with latest software. To 

accommodate more students in the centre the number of modules has also 

been increased. To facilitate quality education in the computer centre a 

qualified instructor (with MCA degree) has also been appointed. VSAT has 

been installed in the College, under supervision of the College Computer 

Centre. 

12. The College may initiate a better management mechanism for 

infrastructure maintenance. 

The College development council has been constituted with new 

members to look after the maintenance of the infrastructure. Funds collected 

from the students for College development every year is used to maintain and 

develop the existing infrastructure. 

13. The staff quarters of Grade IV employees and hostels for students may be 

renovated. 

The renovation work has been undertaken for the Tagore hostel with 

financial assistance from JP Hydro Power. Renovation work in the remaining 

hostels is not considered feasible as the depreciation value of these OB type 

hostels have already reached sub-zero level. Hence the alternative mode of 

constructing new RCC building for boys and girls hostel has been taken up 

with the State Government, NEC, Shillong, and UGC, New Delhi. As a result 

of the new initiative sanction has been received from DoNER for the 

construction of a 200 bed Girls hostel, which has been partially completed. 

With the state government financial support construction of a 60 bed 

boys’ hostel has been completed. The maintenance and repair work for staff 

quarters of Grade IV employees was undertaken in 2007-08 from the College 

development fund. 

14. The College may prepare a land use map of its campuses and a holistic 

plan for resource mobilization. 

The PWD of Arunachal Pradesh has been approached to prepare a land 

use map for the College campus. Accordingly a new administrative block is 

under construction in the upper campus.


172 

For resource mobilization Telecom operators like Airtel and BSNL 

have been permitted to set up mobile towers in the upper campus on a revenue 

sharing basis with the College. 

15. The Zoology and Botany Departments may join hands for producing bio 

fertilizers from solid wastes by vermin composting. 

The Botany Department has taken the initiative to start the Biotech 

Hub in the College which received approval from the Department of 

Biotechnology, Government of India with a financial grant of `27 lac. 

Necessary MOU has been signed for this purpose in the year 2012. The 

Coordinator of the project Sri R.C. Chaturvedi, Associate Professor, 

(HOD)Dept. of Botany, has been sensitized about the NAAC recommendation 

for initiating necessary process to produce bio fertilizers from solid wastes by 

vermin composting as a part of the Biotech Hub Project. 

16. The vacant teaching posts may be immediately filled up for academic 

growth. 

Official communication for this purpose has been sent to the Govt. 

demanding posting of teaching faculty members against the vacant posts. 

Since the number of students keeps on increasing year after year the gap 

between demand and posting of teachers too is widening with every passing 

year. The State Govt. has been appraised about this problem and the institution 

has sought necessary solution at the earliest. In the Higher Education 

Conference held at Itanagar on 22 nd and 23 rd of February 2012 this matter too 

was raised by the principal with the Director, Higher and Technical Education, 

and the Director has promised to look into the matter with priority. 

Accordingly, one lecturer on deputation has been posted in the department of 

Chemistry. 

17. The sports facilities of girls students may be enhanced. 

Enhancement of sports facilities for girls students has been undertaken by 

constructing a concrete tennis court, basketball court and an outdoor 

Badminton court in the lower campus. Weightlifting sets have also been 

provided to promote this new category of sports which has gained popularity 

in North East India in the recent past.
