2008-2009 - ramniranjan jhunjhunwala college

college takes the first step in extending utmost help to the underprivileged,
economically backward, physically handicapped students and first generation
learners. Remedial classes are conducted for them on some Sundays and
holidays. Classroom teaching is made interesting using innovative techniques.
Teachers conduct regular tests to monitor the progress of the students. They
devote time to ascertaining and solving difficulties of the students. Department of
Chemistry has started scheme “Maitra” in which teachers adopt 7 – 8 students and
guide them in every respect to provide better opportunities to the less privileged
students. These students need both a moral support as well as a sympathetic,
helping hand. Care is taken to extend such support to them. To know about the
student‟s family, social and economical background self-appraisal forms were
obtained from the students. On the basis of that, proper and informal guidance was
given to them. Financial, medical and psychological help was made available
whenever and wherever required,
To cite an instance, students, who do not have adequate facility to sit and study at
their own homes, are allowed to use the college premises until late in the evening,
so that they can study peacefully. A counselor has been appointed by the college
to provide them with emotional support and security.To give them financial support,
an “earn and learn” scheme has been incorporated. Two of our post graduate
students are working as part-time telephone operators in the college office while
one of our PhD students is working as a lab-instructor in the Biotechnology
laboratory.
Apart from this, help is also extended to students informally. However, high norms
of evaluation are set for the students. In the interest of justice, chance is given to
the students to verify their marks. Several merit prizes are constituted and merit
rankers are felicitated by the College to orient the students to be academically
ambitious. To encourage participation in sports, various prizes and incentives are
given for the achievement in sports. We are privileged to have our efforts rewarded
in the form of victories in various sports at different levels.
