It was a great vision and farsightedness of the great and illustrious Founder of Dev Samaj, Bhagwan Dev Atma to build equal opportunities for education, work and service for Indian women in times when, particularly, Women Education was considered to be a taboo. Bhagwan Dev Atma was deeply stirred by the Women Suppression in Indian society. He wanted to regenerate mankind and transform the society through women education only. The history of this college is linked up with that of Dev Samaj Girls High School which was founded in 1901 by our most worshipful Bhagwan Dev Atma and the selfless services of a band of early workers of Dev Samaj, who sacrificed their brilliant professions and careers and put in every ounce of energy to build it brick by brick, the utility and tradition of this institution and dedicated their lives to the holy mission of their Master to bring about social, moral and spiritual upliftment of humanity. Shriman Devat Singh, Shriman Pandit Harnarain Agnihotri, Principal P.V. Kanal, Rai Sahib, Shriman Balmokandji Bali, Master Mukand Singh, Lala Gowardhan Das, Shriman Hari Das, lady superintendents like Shrimati Dharam Pyari and Shrimati Satya Bhama were among the pioneer workers. The school had a brilliant record of services towards the emancipation of women from the early years of the century. Thus it became a pioneer institution of the century & generated a climate for the Education of Women and provided a powerful and moral support for the establishment of a chain of other institutions in Punjab. The idea of funding a separate affiliated college, originally started with Dev Samaj in 19211922 when Dev Samaj Managing Council founded RSD College which was duly recognized by the Panjab University in 1921-22. Dev Samaj arranged for in a separate building, F.A. classes for Girls and applied to university to allow the professors of RSD College to take the classes in the Dev Samaj Girls High School Building, which was situated at hardly a furlong from RSD College. The university, at that time, turned down the offer of Dev Samaj. Dev Samaj Society decided to make a different arrangement for the education of girls (separate rooms attached to the class and connected by a window at the back of the class room) by allowing them to join boys college either as a regular student or as a casual student. This idea however, was availed of by only a few of the families who had progressive approach and not by the orthodox citizens of the moffussil town. However, the demand for a girls‟ college went on growing strong and persistent till at last yielding to the demand of the public, the idea of opening a separate college started. It was in the year 1934 that owing to pressing demands of citizens of this place and of the surrounding places for a separate girls‟ college, the Dev Samaj started an Intermediate College for Girls. It was only two years later in 1936 that Degree classes also commenced. In 1938, the first batch of our girls appeared for B.A. examination. Upto 1941, this college had won good name and fame for best results and providing a morally strong and healthy atmosphere. The university was pleased to accord sanction to the DSCW to open B.T. Classes in 1942. It was the first non-government teacher‟s training college in the whole of united Punjab, imparting education of B.T. degree of the Panjab University. After 1947 when the country received the rude shock of partition, this college began to play a more important role as this was the only college which had been running the B.T. classes successfully. With the impact of Independence, people became more education minded for girls and there was an increase in demand for more seats from all sides of 5 Punjab. The university was, therefore, pleased to raise the initial limited number of seats first to 40 and later on to 99. Dev Samaj College for Women gradually started imparting education in Humanities up till Post-graduation, training upto J.A.V. & B.T., and had also secured affiliation to „Bhushan and Prabharkar‟. Though the college had a humble beginning with 16 students in the first batch, but gradually by standard of the achievement, devotion of the staff and healthy moral atmosphere, it soon came to be regarded as the best organized college of Punjab. In the course of time, there has come up in the same campus under the same management, a complex of the following institutions for Women: (1) Post Graduate Arts College (2) College of Science (3) Post Graduate College for Education (4) Higher Secondary School (5) Model High School. Though Dev Samaj Society suffered heaviest losses at Lahore as they had lost all that they possessed: the very large property and several flourishing institutions at Lahore, Rawalpindi and Sindh amounting to nearly more than Rupees crore in those times. No doubt, their funds had been terribly depleted but the devotion and sacrifices of the life members and workers of the Dev Samaj lead to a marvelous progress in School and College at Ferozepur and with a possible and practicable approach, these institutions, ultimately, reached their normal positions. Since 1934, the Dev Samaj Hostel which was housed in the same building has always been in high demand because of its well earned popularity in whole of the undivided Punjab. The Dev Samaj institutions at Ferozepur have the honour of having produced in those early days, First Hindu Lady B.A.B.T., First Lady M.B.B.S. in the undivided Punjab, the brilliant scholar Miss. Dev Priya Bali, First M.B.B.S. rising to the prestigious position of the Principal of Lady Harding Medical College, New Delhi as well as becoming Inspector General of Hospitals, (U.P.); Miss. Sushila Arora the First lady to become Ist class Magistrate at Jalandhar; Miss. Prem Sikhar and Miss. Santosh Madhoke - First Income Tax Officers at Bombay and Delhi, respectively, Mrs. Sarla Grewal - the First lady IAS officer. Not only was Mrs. Grewal the First Lady Deputy Commissioner in Shimla in 1956, in 1985, she also rose to become the Principal Secretary to the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi and later on, became the Governor of Madhya Pardesh. She was also associated with important world forums like WHO and UNICEF. She was the First Woman President of the Tribune Trust (2000). Dev Samaj is justly proud of producing such outstanding Alumni of India. Apart from this, the worthy mother of former Vice President of India Sh. Krishan Kant; worthy sister and relatives of former Chief Minister of Punjab, S. Beant Singh; sisters and relatives of Cabinet Minister, Hon‟ble Sh. Balram Jakhar; mother and sisters of Hon‟ble Jagmeet Brar; the worthy wife and sister of Sh. B.K.N.Chibber; Former Governor of Punjab and the sisters and relatives of S. Parkash Singh Badal, Chief Minister of Punjab are the distinguished alumnae of this institution. Apart from this, many other alumnae of this college are graciously holding top positions in Judiciary, Medicine, Academics and other spheres of society not only in India but abroad also. Temples of learning are not built in a day and blessed are those who build them. Though the personalities managing the institution changed time to time, yet the direction in vision was never lost. The untiring efforts and dedication of its Founder, Bhagwan Dev Atma, the farsightedness and pragmatism of the late Principals like P.V.Kanal Ji and Dharam Vir Ji and the unflinching support and dynamism of kindred spirit of Shriman Nirmal Singh Ji, Secretary, Dev Samaj; Shriman Vikas Dev Ji, Chairman, College Managing Committee and 6 Shiman M. R. Manchanda, Secretary, College Managing Committee have lead this institution at the acme of its glory and fame. Their entire life has been dedicated to the cause of education and they are a tremendous source of inspiration for the institution. The college is fortunate to have such experienced and enlightened management, possessing the ingenuity and caliber to run premier Women Educational institutions. Quality, efficiency, accountability, transparency, and dynamism are reflected in all its activities. Dev Samaj College has traversed a long way in its journey of evolution as an institution of distinction. The path of success, whose foundation was laid years ago, has now reached a landmark where it takes a turn to achieve excellence in every possible form. Dr. Madhu Prashar, present Principal of DSCW is another milestone in the history of Dev Samaj College for Women that cannot go without a mention. The enormous responsibility and the fate of one of India‟s oldest institutions – a pioneer in Women Education was rested upon her able shoulders on 16th November 1992. It proved to be an unforgettable historical day which will go down in the history of college as a memorable landmark. While taking on the charge as a Principal, Dr.(Mrs.) Madhu Prashar had a vision to carry the traditions and set standards by her mantle and take the college to the heights of becoming a World Class “Centre of Excellence” for its value based qualitative education. When she joined in, the college was a crumbly building with few courses to offer and even fewer students to attend them. She made Dev Samaj and its motto and motive the aim of her life – tireless, endless efforts, days and days of travelling, meeting people, forwarding her proposals, seeking collaboration, seeking grants; with an undying spirit each day, when the body gives up but the will and spirit fuels you; she continuously worked on the principle of “Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma Phaleshou Kada Chana”. She set out to be the part of a reform movement which would not only uplift Dev Samaj but would touch the surrounding areas near and far. Not only that, this movement was set to transform the face of education in a revolutionary manner for women. The evolution from then to now, the transcendence, is evident in the glorious last 20 years of her administration. The metamorphosis is humongous. From the building of the college to the introduction of new innovative courses; from soaring admissions under her leadership to brilliant alumnae holding key positions as I.A.S, P.C.S, Recognized Educationists, Leaders etc.; she has been there and done that. She was the sole inspiration and megamind behind the enormous wave of change – getting the status of NAAC accredited „A‟ Grade for the College, to getting “Potential for Excellence” award by UGC, to establishment of a state of art building, to establishing highly modern digital labs and other technological facilities - everything rare and wanting for a border area town like Ferozepur -she transformed Dev Samaj into an educational haven. This was not only for people of Ferozepur but also for those far and away, India and abroad, who come here to study due to the exquisite quality of education being imparted. She has taken upon her will to try and educate girls and women as a revolution for women emancipation for which she stands and lives for. Ex-Chief Minister Punjab S. Harcharan Singh Brar appraised her highly in the visitor‟s book saying, “The name of Dr. Madhu Prashar will, undoubtedly, go down in the history of Dev Samaj as an architect of this college. She has beaten all the colleges hollow. Thanks to her work, she ceased to be an individual and became an institution, a living legend held in high esteem by intelligentsia of Punjab.” With its brilliant excellence in all fields and with an aroma of value and traditions, DSCW has been accredited as „A‟ Grade college by NAAC. Another glorious feather added to the already proud cap of the meritorious achievements of this college, the University Grants 7 Commission honoured DSCW with the status of “Potential for Excellence”. Being the single college in Punjab out of more than 2000, DSCW is among the galaxy of 50 best colleges of India out of more than 50000, for which the UGC had given 1 crore rupees. Under the status of “Potential for Excellence” alongwith our Chemistry, Zoology and Mathematics Departments being declared “Star Departments” by the UGC. One marvels at the perfect example of a blend of modern and traditional structure, which stands as a wonder in this small border town of Punjab. Entering this campus, one finds oneself in a comfortable, congenial atmosphere. It‟s our own mini world. Visiting dignitaries, old students, people of eminence have found the college infrastructure 'State of Art' and inviting. There is a strong aesthetic sense attached to it that is the vision of our honourable Principal given form by the support of our progressive Management. The 78 years of excellence in education field speaks volumes of the glory in which DSCW‟s tale is summarized. It has a plethora of successful events behind it. It is on records that after joining this college in 1992, there have been momentous changes, path breaking increase in the number of students from 980 to 3900, resident students‟ strength from 300 to 1000; teachers from 39 to 150; Non-Teaching from 30 to 90; paradigm shift in technology, methodology and system; breath taking changes and innovation of courses at graduate and post graduate levels and heart-sinking achievements in the academic arena. The century old dilapidated building has been miraculously transformed into the “Birmingham Palace” of London for which DSCW has spent more than 40 crore rupees for its infrastructural growth. There have been momentous changes in system as the top most multinational companies of India have visited DSCW for the Campus Placements and it is on record that more than 200 students got placed. In the area of Research, DSCW has taken a lead in the region by publishing an International Journal, viz., „Emerging Technologies in Computing‟ with ISBN 9788192270937, „Humanities and Social Sciences‟ with ISSN:2250-043X, „Ferozepur Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences‟ with ISSN:2250-0421 and „Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Philosophy‟, renowned academicians from reputed Universities of India and abroad are on their Editorial Boards.. At the Sports‟ front, three of our sports-women participated in Asian Kabbadi Championship and won Gold Medals to bring DSCW on the International Map. It is also worth mentioning that three of our students got the rarest opportunity to present the “Guard of Honour” to the President and the Prime Minister of India. Two of our Alumnae are on the highest rank as Justice in Punjab & Haryana High Court. DSCW has a track record of high academic excellence of alumnae who have reached the pinnacles of success in every profession Administration, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Law, Academics, Research, Sports and Film Industry, and brought laurels to the Nation to be recognized as leaders and looked upon as symbols of professional status. A book on 78 glorious years of DSCW profiling the distinguished Alumni is going to be published, some time during this one year period. DSCW always salutes the rich cultural and traditional values of India, spreading the essence of Indianness in India and abroad. Performances of DSCW students in Gidha, Bhangra, Sammi, Haryanvi and Rajasthani Dance in various countries like Canada, Dubai, U.K. and America are the examples of strong cultural exchange endeavors that we undertake. Even the troupes from various countries like, Switzerland, South Korea and Slovakia have also given spell bound dance performances on the campus of DSCW under the Cultural Exchange Programmes. 8 DSCW has been actively involved for the last two decades in fighting for the downtrodden and under privileged students, so that they should be given equal education, equal work chance, security and training. To help them out of their despair and darkness, it provides a facility of 100% fee concession, free books, free resident facility, free food etc., and even goes beyond it by giving them job opportunity and placements in their own college. This is on record that DSCW sets lavish target of Rupees 30 to 35 lakhs every year to promote education for socially and financially backward students. DSCW also promotes the feelings of Communal Harmony and Cultural Pluralism. During its Platinum Jubilee Celebration year, great poets from Pakistan were invited to give a spell binding performance on the theme of “Hind Pak Dosti”. This function was presided over by Five Women MP‟s and high dignitaries from Pakistan. Great artists from Pakistan also gave a stage show on the theme “Jinne Lahore Nahin Vekhya”. The Pakistan MP‟s and other dignitaries were highly impressed to see the Cultural Programme, the hospitality and over all development of the college and after going back to Pakistan, they telecasted a documentary film on a Pakistani Channel. On the completion of 78 years in academic field, DSCW students have taken an oath to take a lead to make this society a Paradise for women, where there will be no violation of human rights, where no women will be set to fire, burnt to death, raped, aborted or sterilized, simply because they are born as girls. Thousands of women have been benefited as DSCW gave voice to women folk whose words go unheard. DSCW has established a powerful Women centre with the financial aide of U.G.C. to raise a voice against the Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment, Society‟s Attitude towards Women, Rising Crimes Against Women, Female Foeticide and Insecurity of Women. While a lot of things have changed at the DSCW over the 78 years but certain spiritual roots have remained the same - the traditions, the ethics, the values, which ignite in themselves the flames of goodness, truthfulness and inner beauty, set by our own enlightened master, still guide us as light houses to attune our lives to the harmony that flows from their blessed presence as astral souls. DSCW hopes that when DSCW celebrates its Centenary, it will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was able to chart new pathways and play its part in transforming India into one of the world‟s leading powers, a truly equitable society capable of fulfilling the potential of its youthful, aspiring population. Dev Samaj College has served our country with great distinction in its 78 years of existence, which acts as a testimony to the success of the college as being one of the most widely recognized educational institutions in India. DSCW has already settled on the highest peaks where the finest hour has greeted it with the Potential for Excellence award. But it is not a College that rests on the laurels of yesterday. We always look forward to the tryst with the golden hours of tomorrow, imitating the sun itself that starts on its upward journey across the skies, never looking back but climbing towards the zenith because we believe that the best is yet to come when, DSCW will become a fullfledged university devoted to the education of women only. DSCW will not rest till the pinnacle of this vision is translated into reality. 9 THE GREAT ARCHITECTS OF COLLEGE Great temples of learning like DSCW, are not built in a day. And blessed are those who build them. It was a great vision and farsightedness of these great architects to build equal opportunities for education, work and service for Indian women, when particularly, women education was considered to be a dream. Their names will go down into the annals of the history of DSCW as great benefactors. Late Principal PV Kanal Ji Chairman, DSCW Shriman Nirmal Singh Ji Secretary, Dev Samaj Late Principal Dharmbir Ji Shriman M.R.Manchanda Ji Secretary, DSCW Shriman Vikas Dev Ji Chairman, DSCW Dr. Madhu Prashar Principal 10 DEV SAMAJ COUNCIL Under the patronage of Dev Samaj Managing Council, DSCW has preserved the rich heritage of its glorious past. The traditions and standards set by them have been guiding DSCW fraternity as a lighthouse. We always pay gratitude to all these great souls without whose support and inspiration the institution would not have achieved such a historic milestone of “Potential for Excellence” in education field. 11 DSCW MANAGING COMMITTEE DSCW is fortunate to have an experienced and enlightened management. Under their patronage, DSCW has reached the pinnacle of glory of the status of NAAC Accredited „A‟ Grade and the status of „Potential for Excellence‟. 12 FROM THE SECRETARY‟s (DEV SAMAJ) DESK… Dev Samaj as an organization came to existence for the love of humanity. It still strands strong on its three most important values of truth, goodness and beauty. Service to the community has always been something we have always stood for. We, as our supreme founder Bhagwan Dev Atma believe that there cannot be a better way to give back to the society than to educate and emancipate its women, making them self reliant and self dependent. A well educated women serves not only herself but the society. Especially in the patriarchal Indian society where it is solely left to the women of the house to nurture and culture children while husband takes up a more protective role, education of the woman assumes a still crucial role. Thus they become the architects of society, because the future of the coming generations lies in their hands. Not only this, educated women help build a society that is healthier, free of all kinds of crimes against women simply because those women are well aware of the rights and privileges granted to them. Today on the occasion of submission of the SSR of DSCW, I proudly proclaim that it as one of our premier institutions has stood out and done us proud. It has truly abided by the philosophy of Dev Samaj to bring such standards of education to a border town like Ferozepur that would match in every way the best available. I heartily congratulate on this occasion the able, strong minded and progressive Principal of DSCW who has spared no effort to bring about change in such a transformational manner that Dev Samaj has been recognized as one of the 50 best colleges of India and been granted the Potential for Excellence by the UGC. I congratulate DSCW for having done us proud and I wish that one day despite its constraints of being in a remote place it would rise to the highest pinnacle of glory and excellence in the field of education. (Nirmal Singh Dhillon) Secretary, Dev Samaj, Chandigarh. 13 FROM THE CHAIRMAN‟S DESK… It is a proud moment for me that today our college is submitting its SSR for the second time. It has taken a lot of effort, hard-work and labour to furnish the report for which I heartily congratulate the principal of the College Dr.(Mrs.) Madhu Prashar because I feel it could not have been possible without her. A person of her strength and caliber is rare to find. I also congratulate her efficient team who have had the vigour to match upto her efficiency and demands. Looking at the 20 years of her time here, I have never seen her look back. The transformation that the college has undergone under her proficient leadership is commendable. We had begun with something very elementary that has today reached that point which is an accomplishment in itself. The constraints that such a remote area has for an educational institution have never kept it from trying to deliver the best. Not only does DSCW offer the best learning experience but aid it too with assistance rendered through the best and latest innovative technology available. It has been able to transform education for girls and not only that, transform the area itself by increasing in a tremendous manner the literacy percentage. It has through its endeavours tried to reach out to public at large and helped them become aware and concerned towards social issues that plague the society. The Institution has also tried to provide support to the students who are financially incapable or unsound to promote education. The list can go on because we have made every attempt to justify what such a noble cause as education demands of us, but I limit it here and leave the rest to the SSR to convey. We eagerly await the arrival of the Peer Team and also hope to live up to their expectations, infact we have worked hard for it. We aim to extend our best foot forward. (Shriman Vikas Dev Ji) Chairman, Managing Committee, Dev Samaj College for Women, Ferozepur City, 14 FROM THE SECRETARY‟S DESK… It is a matter of immense pleasure and pride for me that the college is submitting its second SSR and also that I am a part of such a prestigious College which has been serving the society for the last 78 years. When I look down the glittering memory lane, I see that the growth graph has been miraculous. Initially a tiny sapling which was planted under the extensive care of our founder Bhagwan Dev Atma, who wanted to give to the society educated and accomplished women, the college has strived always to look forward and move ahead. Established in 1934, the college gradually grew to Degree Classes and then to Postgraduate. The Dev Samaj Managing Council has had an immense role to play in the progression and upliftment of the college. It has been the guiding beacon which has always been there as a support system for the betterment of the college. Despite the fact that this journey of progression has not been easy and has had to go through extreme calamities including the floods that swept away everything it had, to two incidents of Indo-Pak War during the year 1965 and 1971, during which the college bore the heavy shelling and devastation. It was in the year 1992 that the historic day came, the day of the joining of the new revolutionary Principal of the College, Dr. (Mrs.) Madhu Prashar. This day will forever go down the history of Dev Samaj as the momentous occasion which saw the College become what it is today. Dr.(Mrs.) Madhu Prashar joined the college with vision which was creative, artistic and aesthetic in every sense. She was of the opinion that if you are planning for one year, plant grains; if for 10 years, plant trees and if for 100 years, plant quality education. Since then she has truly abided by what she has envisioned. Today the colleges ranks amongst the top 50 colleges of India and has been awarded with the prestigious 'Potential for Excellence' award by the UGC. Today as the secretary of management, it is a matter of immense pride that the college I am associated with has reached such heights. I congratulate the Principal on whom I lay the onus of such mammoth progress and all those associated with the projects. The report has been the result of massive amount of hard-work, of days and days of labour and pray for it to find its goal. We eagerly await the visit of the Peer Team, so that it itself analyses the sort of Education that our college is offering despite all constraints of it being in a remote border area. We wish to deliver our best and hope that we live upto your expectations. (M.R. Manchanda) Secretary, Managing Committee, Dev Samaj College for Women, Ferozepur City, 15 FROM PRINCIPAL‟S DESK… It gives me immense pleasure today to submit the SSR for evaluation yet again. I feel indebted to the Almighty and the guiding beacon of DSCW, Bhagwan Dev Atma who have been the steering force behind my relentless efforts. I congratulate my team who have shared my zeal to work to strive for the best. Words will always fall short for me to describe what I feel at this moment submitting for the second time SSR of our College. At this moment when I look back I experience an immense sense of gratification, of harmony and solace that is overwhelming and humbling. As I experience the years flow before my eyes like a living reverie, I encounter satisfaction of having those things there, that when brought to recollection grant you a sense of pride - pride of having been an inseparable part of society, of having cultured it and nurtured it; pride of having been able to contribute, of having being able to serve; pride of having made a difference and having lived upto it; pride of having seen an innumerable saplings flourish into strong rooted trees, seeing them grow each day nurtured with the sunshine of their knowledge and nourishment of ethics, of values. Dev Samaj was the most wonderful thing that happened to me. It gave me something in life that I could continuously strive for, a goal that became the motto and motive of my life, a noble cause that I could ceaselessly strive for - Women Emancipation. I have always felt that education for women is extremely important. Not only does it help them fetch a job, it helps groom them, culture them and shape them into independent, confident and self reliant individuals. I am thankful to the Almighty for having given me the opportunity and for having granted me the will to sustain all adversity with a brave front. This journey would have not been possible without the unconditional support that has been rendered to me by the Shriman Nirmal Singh Ji, Secretary Dev Samaj; Shriman Vikas Dev Ji, Chairman and Shriman M.R. Manchanda Ji, Secretary College Managing Committee. I wish that this caravan of the unity in diversity forever treads the path of success, each time setting a new parameter for itself, forever progressive in approach. It is my heartiest wish that every girl in this country be literate enough to understand her rights, to demand them and strive for them. I envision India as a country where woman is not weak, rather able, competent to sustain herself and why only herself, her family too. I dream of an India where women feel proud and rejoice in the fact that they are women, celebrate their identity and in their being.

DSCW VISION “The history of DSCW is a poetry of great vision, a saga of undaunted courage, an epic of sacrifices and colossal contribution of the devoted band of workers of society of Dev Samaj. It was only the great spiritual enlightened Master, the Founder of Dev Samaj, Bhagwan Dev Atma, who could think of Women empowerment, gender inequality or gender discrimination and social crimes against Women and propagate Women Education. It was His great vision and farsightedness to build equal opportunities for education, work and service for Indian Women in the year 1889, when particularly women education was considered to be a taboo. Bhagwan Dev Atma was deeply stirred by the women suppression in Indian society. He wanted to regenerate mankind and transform the society through women education only. Dev Samaj Managing Council took the first initiative in 1887 to open the flood gates of Women Education in Lahore before partition and later opened 26 institutions in Northern India out of which 23 are exclusively for Women Education. Bhagwan Dev Atma‟s vision – DSCW, which was planted about 78 years ago as a tiny sapling in the year 1934 that was, “To be an outstanding institution of excellence in Higher Education, to promote need, value and career-based programmes to ensure Scientific, Global and Spiritual Development of student community with which they will blossom as fully competent human beings to meet ever changing needs of global time”, has now taken the shape of a dense tree loaded with lofty meritorious achievements which has no parallel in the annals of any other college in India. It has blossomed into the most prestigious academic icon of the education system of India, as being the world Class “Centre of Excellence” for its value based education. 14 MISSION STATEMENT OF DSCW The mission of DSCW is to provide higher education leading to an enriched holistic and wholesome personality of its key stakeholders. Students are the heart and soul of DSCW. They provide the reason for the institution‟s existence. DSCW aims to inculcate in students a constant yearning for learning through the combination of academic rigour, contemporary curriculum design, passionate knowledge delivery, participative dialogue and discussion, interaction with leading practitioners and application orientation. Along with academic excellence, students are sensitized to the concerns of society and encouraged to address them with dedication and fervor. The result is a wholesome personality that creates value for organizations even while meeting the challenges of the 21st century and bridging the chasm between the haves and the have-nots. Faculty, staff and administrators facilitate the transformational change that is sought to be brought about in the young people who pass through the corridors of DSCW. People who walk the talk make the vital difference at DSCW. By personal example, they inspire students to imbibe the virtues of hard work, perseverance and carry a positive attitude. In the final analysis, DSCW aspires to be a catalyst in bringing about a change in the higher educational scenario of this great country. The rich tradition and culture that we have inherited over thousands of years is sought to be seamlessly woven into the tapestry of rational and modern thinking that would be the cornerstone of a glorious and prosperous India.

The curricular, co-curricular, extra-curricular and sports activities of students are elaborately discussed. Students are encouraged to take up subjects and courses according to their tastes and talents. Ferozepur being a Border Area which is remote and finds most of the rural population residing at its outskirts ignorant in many ways, Parents always vouch for conventional subjects. For dealing with this situation, a counselling session for parents is also held at entry level. They are also convinced and counselled constantly during the admission process. Students are also encouraged to choose from amongst an array of Add-on courses suitable to their needs and requirements. After this, Orientation Sessions are held where students are further warmed up to and the college also gets an opportunity to further explore their talents and strongholds. The process is continued into the session. Despite all this if a student finds it difficult to cope up with a subject or finds herself lacking interest, an option to change subjects within a limited period of time is permissible. The focus remains on providing the best to them keeping in mind the best of their capability and exploring it to full. The Principal has also made a provision for awarding fee concession, exemption, awards, rewards, incentives to deserving students. 2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc. The College understands that the student finds a sudden change of environment and culture as she enters the higher educational arena. The expectations, methods of working, bent of mind and many other things go under a drastic change. To help students during this transitionary phase and make it a smooth transition rather than a rollercoaster ride we have the provision of orientation classes and sessions which 44 facilitate the process. Students are first warmed up to the College's atmosphere, acquainted of its mission and motto, made to understand its way of working, rules and regulations etc. Then, during the sickened phase curriculum is elaborated before them and they are given copies of the syllabus and informed about the details of the same along with notifying them about what will be expected and how to go about it. Lastly, teachers warm up the students to the subjects. An effort is made so that the students find themselves comfortable with the subjects for which rather than directly beginning with coursework, background, foundation, major aspects, concepts, etc are made clear. A Blessing Ceremony is held which is a huge assembly comprising of students, faculty, parents, administrative staff and Managing Committee. Fresher Parties are organized by various departments so that students may warm up to each other too. Apart from that Central Association (a students' representative body) serves as a major link between the Teaching and Non-Teaching staff and the students. 2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.? Sensitization comes through awareness and removal of ignorance. A broad, global thinking and contemporary outlook is also important. How we feel for society, community and Nation including realizing and recognizing its demands and what it expects of us as citizens that is inculcated during the educational years of our life. We here at DSCW realize that an immense effort goes into this enlightenment process and into rearing a sense of belongingness within students. Thus, we make sure that a lot is put into the effort. The regular exercises taken up to sensitize students are: Orientation Sessions. Weekly assemblies along with one major annual assembly at the very outset of the session. The assemblies aim basically at moral and ethical social aspects of life. Workshops, seminars, conferences, symposiums, discussions, debates, campaigns, etc. on all critical issues pertaining to the Environment, Gender, Women Emancipation, Society, Community and others are conducted. Documentary and films are shown. Value Based teaching. 45 Awareness camps. Special Sessions by Government Bodies, NGOs, concerned experts, resource persons etc. Competitions such as Quiz, Poster Making, Collage Making, Cartooning etc. Special Meditation Camps throughout the year. Writing and Presenting research papers on the social issues are encouraged. The College in actual pays a lot of stress on sensitization of students towards areas of concern whereby trying to develop better citizens out of them. The Principal and faculty through constant interaction, speeches, ethical, social issues, global issues and moral sessions with them during general assemblies, meetings, etc. tries to keep them informed active and concerned. 2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners? The College realizes that as Slow Learners have special needs and we cater to them, so do advanced learners. The affiliating university does not have any provision for advanced promotion to the next level from the existing level. But still the College does its best to cater to the needs of such students. The College provides them with extra study material, books etc. Along with this they are provided Guidance and support. They are prompted to take up advance preparation for competitive examinations such as IAS, PCS, UGC NET, etc. as a result of which many of our students have successfully fared well in many of such exams. Special coaching classes for above are also arranged for. They are also advised to take up various Add-ons which make their career profile impressive and help them in their career years. 2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.)? Generally, the teachers in the classes, through their lectures, test, discussions, tutorial groups and face-to-face interaction, come to know about the risk of dropout students. The Annual Proformas filled by Teachers are also analysed to reach to a conclusion. Usually the students that are traced out are from the disadvantaged sections of the society and slow learners. Either they are not able to cope up with the 46 course work or they do not have the resources to do so. Teachers identify such sections of the students and boost them by giving Counselling sessions. Apart from this special remedial classes and intensive interactive sessions are separately organized to encourage them. A number of motivation lectures are organized to channelize the potential to achieve success in their course work. Underprivileged students are offered books, study material, free access to library and other facilities. Anything and everything possible is done to prevent students from dropping out. It is because of this that the drop out rate of the students is very less in the institution. 2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules?

Both self-appraisal and student-appraisal of teachers are used to evaluate the performance of teachers. The feedback by the students is analyzed by the IQAC and on the basis of inference, the Head of the institution offers suitable advice to the faculty. Two student representatives are also a part of the IQAC team. Students have their representative body- the Central Association which is free to keep the college updated on their needs, complaints and requirements. The Unitization of syllabus and handing out of planners is an efficient way to monitor the process. The above are continuously followed up by the authorities. Apart from this the college has installed CCTV‟s Cameras and has configured internal mechanisms of checks and balances and segregation of powers to maintain and evaluate the Teaching Learning Process. 2.4 2.4.1 Teacher Quality Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies adopted by the college in planning and management (recruitment and retention) of its human resource (qualified and competent teachers) to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum It is a universally accepted fact that only competent, experienced, and expert teachers can meet the changing requirements of the curriculum. The college is always on a look out for such competent teachers to recruit and retain them. 55 In order to recruit best available teachers the college advertises its requirements in the Local, State and National Newspapers. In response to the advertisements the received applications are scrutinized, compiled and the Merit List is prepared strictly according to the guidelines issued by the affiliating university. The college makes a request to the university concerned to conduct an interview by appointing required panel of experts. The Interview Board constituted by the Panjab University conducts the interview and selects the most competent available teachers. The selected teachers are appointed in the college and they are provided salary and other facilities as per norms fixed by the University. Some extra facilities too are provided to the selected teachers in order to retain them. To retain the available staff, they are paid salaries according to the grades specified by the PU/UGC. The staff is also provided other requisite facilities like, Medical Leave, Casual Leave, on duty Leave and Maternity Leave etc. They are also given study leave if they wish to upgrade their qualification by pursuing M. Phil or Ph.D. The details of the faculty are given here under:Highest qualification Professor Associate Professor Male Female Male Female Permanent teachers ---01 03 19 D.Sc./D.Litt. ------------Ph.D. ---01 ---06 M.Phil. ------02 12 NET/UGC ------------PG ------01 01 Temporary/Regular ------------teachers Ph.D. ------------M.Phil. ------------NET/UGC ------------PG ------------Part-time teachers ------------Ph.D. ------------M.Phil. ------------PG ------------- Assistant Professor Male Female 05 10 ------02 02 02 01 01 07 ------13 77 Total 01 03 03 06 ------------- 03 15 15 57 ------------- 02 12 12 51 ------------- 38 ---11 17 08 02 90 56 2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three years. Bioinformatics has so far, not been introduced in this college. Earlier, we had introduced Biotechnology but had to discontinue for want to required number of Students. However, M.Sc.(IT) course has been introduced some years ago which is running very smoothly and effectively. The institution is fortunate enough to recruit the experts and those most competent for dealing with M.Sc.(IT) course. The college conducts seminars/workshops related to IT and its related trades so that technological skill of the teachers be upgraded. Also, the college has encouraged the faculty members, during the last three years, to participate/ attend State/National/International level workshops and visit Industries and Multinational Companies etc. in order to upgrade their knowledge and skills about the subject. All necessary facilities are provided to these faculty members to retain them in the college. 2.4.3 Providing details on staff development programmes during the last four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in enhancing the teacher quality. We at Dev Samaj, view teachers as learners. We believe that the act of teaching cannot be separated from the act of learning. This implies that the teacher begins to view her role in a different light. She does not consider herself as a transmitter of knowledge rather engages with her students in meaningful learning situations. These result in a paradigm shift which leads to a changed relationship between the teacher and the learner, the teacher and content and the teacher and the community. The teacher enrichment programmes aim to develop the mindset and skills to create engagement and inquiry in the classroom. Continual and intensive professional development of the teachers has been an important focus. This gives teachers first hand experience of experiential learning and aims at developing right attitude, commitment to purpose, deep content knowledge, and teaching strategies and skills. The Institution has adopted a number of strategies for staff development programmes during the last four years:- 57 a) Nomination to Staff Development Programmes: Academic Staff Development Programmes Number of faculty Nominated Refresher courses 08 HRD programmes ------ Orientation programmes 02 Staff training conducted by the university ------ Staff training conducted by other institutions 05 Summer / winter schools, workshops, etc. 25 b) Faculty Training Programmes organized by the Institution: These Programmes are aimed at Enabling the use of latest tools and technology for improved teachinglearning. Use of Computer, Internet, E-Resourses etc Communicative English Personality Development Building the overall knowledge base and overall development of each faculty member. Following are some Measures that we have taken towards to achieve above stated objectives: Provision for required means: College provides valuable support to the faculty for their enhancement by providing access to latest books, study materials that are incorporated into its comprehensive Library and also arranges on demand any material that may not find availability in a remote area like Ferozepur. Healthy Mind and Body: Meditation and Yoga has long been a tradition in our country. They are a manifestation of the Indian Culture. At DSCW, we not only give primacy to the building of skills and competence of our teachers but also try to keep them connected to their spiritual self. The meditation camps and Sabhas organized throughout the year aims at spiritual upliftment. The body and soul development is aimed at through Yoga sessions. 58 Teaching the Teaching: All the faculty member are not only trained in Computer and Internet handling by the Computer Department but also they are made aware about the latest developments in this technology in order to add to these efficiency in Computer handling. Faculty members are trained to use computer–aided Teaching-Learning material and use them most effectively. Teachers are encouraged to use Multimedia in classes. Extension lectures of prominent subject experts are arranged in the college to enable the faculty to handle the subject in new curriculum most effectively. o Senior most faculty members of different subjects also extend their help to other faculty members concerned to ease their subject – difficulty problem. Content - Knowledge Management: Faculty members of different department are advised to discuss among themselves the latest topics added to their respective subject in the New Curriculum prescribed by the affiliating university. Their content knowledge is enhanced by their participation in various FIP‟s viz. Refresher Course, Orientation Programmes organized by the various Universities. Assessment: Annual Confidential Report (ACR) of every teacher is maintained by the college Principal. All types of performance of faculty members are recoded in the ACR which is consulted at time of award of increment, promotion and appraisal etc. o ACR controls and assesses the teacher‟s performance towards efficiency and achievement. Cross Cutting Issues: College organizes various Seminars/Workshops, from time to time, wherein experts in the fields of cross cutting issues viz. Gender issues, Climate changes, Environment Education, Human Rights, ICT etc. are invited to discuss in details the said issues for increasing knowledge of the faculty. Open Education Resources (OER‟s): The college provides all the necessary Open Education Resources like latest books, course material, modules, 59 streaming videos, test items software and other material and tools etc. to enhance the knowledge of the faculty. c) Percentage of faculty invited as resource persons in Workshops / Seminars / Conferences organized by external professional agencies 02% participated in external Workshops / Seminars / Conferences recognized by national/ international professional bodies 30% presented papers in Workshops / Seminars / Conferences conducted or recognized by professional agencies 10% 2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg: providing research grants, study leave, support for research and academic publications teaching experience in other national institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagement etc.) The faculties are encouraged to pursue their M.Phil. and Ph.D. through faculty development schemes of the UGC. The institution deputes its faculties to attend Refresher and Orientation Programmes, National and International Conferences, Seminars and Training Programmes organized by other institutes, universities and research organizations. The institution also conducts seminars, workshops and special lectures for the benefit of its faculties and students. Besides, the faculties are also encouraged to take-up minor and major research projects and supervise M.Phil. and Ph.D. students. Many of these activities are supported by the UGC and other funding agencies in the form of financial assistance. 2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition at the state, national and international level for excellence in teaching during the last four years.

The college provides financial assistance to economically backward students/ downtrodden/underprivileged/handicapped and also to outstanding students in academic, sports activities, extra mural activities and any other outstanding achievements.

The assemblies and seminars particularly prove very useful as the Principal herself mentors them to see that the students broaden their outlook. Keeping in mind the sensitivity of the issue the teachers, mentors and Principal counsels them in confidential so that they never lose the sense of belongingness and feel motivated. All this is done in a very subtle manner so as not to make the student realize that she is not a part of the mainstream.

Thus the college proposes to provide for a wholesome and all round development of the student who is a sound, stable and strong-minded individual.

Second is to acquaint them with their own positives and negatives, to trace out their strongholds and help them chose from an array of subjects that what is best for them. The next step is to familiarize them with the curriculum, its demands and how to go about it. Sometimes even Parents are counseled to make them realize what is best for their children and open their minds towards unconventional courses. All this is done with the coordination of the Principal, Faculty and the Admission Cell who constantly guide students right at the very outset. Once the student is enrolled the faculty and teachers concerned alongwith the able Principal are her foremost mentors. Every student is important for the teacher and an interactive level is maintained so as to understand them and their issues.

(5) Problems Encountered and Resources Required (i) Problems Encountered Most of the aspirants were hesitant to join the latest Job-Oriented Courses because of the mind set of the traditional courses.

Teachers concerned gave the students thee day orientation course to explain the contents of the courses, importance of the courses for employment gaining purpose, answered their queries and encouraged them to take up such courses of their interest. (ii) Resource Required Some students were hesitant to take up the above mentioned courses as they expressed their inability to pay fees of such courses which was beyond their reach. Due to sympathetic attitude of the college Principal, the needy were given necessary concession in the fees, even few most needy and poor students were given full fee concession. College obtains grant-in-aid also for some such courses from the funding agencies like UGC, Govt. of Punjab etc. Best Practice – II (1) Title of the Practice: Contribution of the stakeholders in Quality initiative of the college.

The following are the contributions of the stakeholders towards planning, implementation and evaluation of academic programmes. Planning: The student representatives are actively involved in planning of academic programmes. The suggestions of parents are considered at the time of academic planning and reviewed and revised at the end the session. The parents give valuable suggestions during Parents-Teachers Meet. The institution has alumni association which has been involved in various college activities. Suggestions of other stake holders are placed before the Principal and staff to plan the various academic programmes. Teaching plans and academic calendar are prepared before commencement of every semester. The required purchases of equipments and books are made with the help of the Heads of the Departments / Chairman / Vice Principal of College. The purchase of library books is made under the supervision of Library Committee. Implementation: Teaching and non-teaching members have major contributions in the implementation of planned programmes. Academic calendar and Calendar of events are prepared.

(5) (i) Problems Encountered and Recourses Required Mostly the suggestions given in the parents meet and alumni meet were constructive for institutional growth but sometime, some suggestions offered were either far from practical utility or absolutely not feasible. Such suggestions were tactfully dealt with by the college Principal. (ii) Sometimes, some representatives of some industries, companies and agencies were reluctant to visit the college for campus selection of the students. Manager/Representative of such institution were assured by the college Principal that they would get the required most efficient stuff from this college. They visited the college and were appreciative to recruit a number of students for their companies etc. (iii) The college never felt financial problem which could hinder the implementation of any developmental programme suggested by the stakeholders because it gets sufficient grant-in-aid from the funding agencies like UGC, Govt. of Punjab and others. 6.
