Milestones: NAAC Journey

• Preparation of College Self Study Report

  The rigorous and introspective process of preparing the college self-study report started in the winter of 2013. The entire college community has been impacted by it in one way or the other. The process of preparing this self-study report was truly deliberative and transparent. It was flagged off with the distribution of the faculty data sheet cum feedback forms. Each faculty member described in detail her/his professional trajectory and offered very important suggestions for the working of the college. These data sheets have been a vital source of information about faculty members and their academic activities. The steering committee had a series of meetings with all the committees that oversee the various aspects of the working of the college. Faculty members who represented the various committees were requested to prepare brief accounts of their working. In addition, faculty advisors to various student societies were requested to associate themselves with the process of preparing this self-study report, by recording the nature of their respective societies. All the wings of the college, be it administration or accounts, residence hall or the library have been a part of this report and its preparation. Each and every department, through the teacher-in-charge, had an opportunity to introspect, record its activities and achievements and envision its future. This did necessitate many rounds of meetings at the level of each department. Departments were encouraged to read each other’s accounts critically. Faculty members were associated with collecting data, analyzing data, preparing statistical tables and charts, devising and administering questionnaires, sharing photographs, information, writing, printing, editing and endless rounds of revision. A specially conceptualized survey and feedback was administered to students using Jot forms over the internet. Over one thousand students responded to the online questionnaire and their perceptions of Lady Shri Ram College are reflected in the self-study report. A group of students also assisted in the preparation of the self study report as well. 

• Interaction with stakeholders

  The steering committee organized an interaction on 19th May 2015 with all the stakeholders of the college- alums, parents of students, employers, neighbors and even the police to gain insights into their evaluation of LSR. More than a 100 people attended this consultation. Discussions centred on the shared value system at college, best practices, support systems in college, skills imparted, curriculum and pedagogy, placements, infrastructure, to our environmental consciousness and institutional social responsibility. While the feedback was very encouraging, it also alerted us to the need for constant hard work and striving.
