The
Parent Teacher Association was inaugurated in this college
in 1986-87 with the Principal as its President. The
PTA aspires for co-operation and participation of parents
in full measure in the all round development of the
college. Parental co-operation in creating a healthy
campus atmosphere is of utmost importance. An active
PTA functions in the college with a Teacher Secretary
and a Parent Vice President.
An Executive Committee of eight members and a general
body consisting of all parents and teachers meet frequently
for the healthy and peaceful functioning of the college.
The PTA has been playing an active and important role
in the growth and development of the college. It has,
inter-alia, been providing basic amenities like pure
drinking water; transportation for students and staff;
developing infra-structural facilities; supporting financially
poor and backward students; encouraging meritorious
pupils; supporting sporting activities and improving
the general ambience of the college with an attractive
Garden.
The Parents Teachers’ Association of the college
has been very active in providing academic, extra curricular,
and infrastructural facilities and amenities to the
students and staff. The PTA has taken up a number of
activities to ensure the all-round welfare of our students
by finding funds for the implementation of schemes,
programmes, and facilities. The activities of the PTA
have given a remarkable face-lift to the college, altogether.
This
year the PTA distributed free mid-day meals on all the
working days to 150 poor students who were selected
by means of the Tutorial machinery. Very poor students
received financial assistance from the PTA and all the
needy students got medical assistance including timely
hospitalization. The PTA extended financial support
to PG students to attend National Seminars and gave
cash awards to those students, who got the highest marks
in the final year degree and post graduate examinations
of April/May 2005, in each discipline.
The
PTA has taken up the responsibility of paying the security
personnel, driver, gardener and sweepers their salary,
and paying the telephone and electricity charges for
the college, this year also.
The
PTA donated a digital camera and a new computer for
the Internet service to the college; a cryostat to the
Chemistry Dept.; a microscope and a computer printer
to the Geology Dept.; running water facility to the
Commerce Dept.; a new ladies’ toilet near the
Geology Dept.; shelves to various departments, library
and the college office; a table and a chair in every
class room; all required material for the Tutorial System;
and chemicals, books and apparatus for the use of MSc.
students.
The
financial burden of several academic and other activities
were also borne by the PTA. They include the subscription
of periodicals in the college library; beautification
and furnishing of the Seminar Hall; expenses for the
Mid-term and Model Examinations; printing of progress
cards; academic diaries and attendance registers; maintenance
and modification of toilets; the construction of the
college gate; repairing of the water pump set; regular
cleaning of the campus, water tank and toilets; modification
and beautification of the college garden; electrification
of the arts block; repairing and updating of the computers
and the UPSs; replacement of unusable lights and fans;
maintenance of the Sports Hostel; maintenance of the
public addressing system; painting of black boards;
and above all, the extension of the water supply and
drainage system to the whole of the college building.
SPECTRUM
2006, the functioning of the Career Guidance Cell, loans
to the guest lecturers and the non-teaching staff, class-wise
PTA meetings, and ‘Know Your College’ programme
were fully funded by the PTA.
Regular
parent- teacher-student interactions are conducted to
analyse the results of tutorials, the test papers and
the attendance statements. Many students utilize this
opportunity to find solutions to their personal, academic
and behavioral problems. These effective sessions enable
us to collect numerous valuable suggestions for the
smooth functioning of the college in general and the
departments in particular. |
