Social Responsibility(ISR) and Extension activities Students of the department participated in : Anti-tobacco campaign Environmental Awareness NSS, NCC, Blood donation Camps SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strengths: The department is staffed with a well-qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty. The faculty is actively involved in research and undertake projects. The department has well-equipped laboratories which facilitates research endeavours. Classrooms are also well equipped and ICT enabled .The Faculty’s proficiency in the use of ICT allows for effective teaching and learning. The department also has a recognised research center with JRFs and research scholars. Our greatest strength is the quality of students admitted into the department who show potential for growth. Weaknesses: Our greatest weakness is the availability of few deficit sanctioned posts for faculty. The department also lags behind other departments in terms of involvement in extension and outreach programmes. The department currently offers no consultancy services. Opportunities: 34. The department envisions a greater expansion of research activities and publications. At the same times the department also aspires to open Ph.D. programmes in collaboration with neighbouring and affiliating universities. The department appreciates its role and opportunity to contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the subject and industry and to provide consultancy services and training to personnel in biochemical and biomedical laboratories. Challenges: With the availability of resources the department is challenged to optimally utilize infrastructure and facilities for research activities, publications and Ph.D programmes. The department is motivated to utilize the expertise of the faculty into improving upon existing technologies in agriculture and biochemical sciences. The department also aims to bridge the gap between the pursuit of excellence in academics and its larger role of serving society by way of its involvement in extension and outreach programmes. Future Plans The immediate future plan is to enhance the research activities and publications in peer-review journals. The department also envisions maintaining a database of medicinal plants and novel metabolites that they produce.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strengths: The department is staffed with a well-qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty. The strength of the department is the vast experience that its faculty has garnered. The botanical garden which the department maintains is a continuing asset and allows quick access to conditions otherwise difficult to duplicate in the laboratory. The younger members of the faculty are enthusiastic, eager and very energetic. Weaknesses: The department is constrained for lack of space especially during practical classes. The botanical garden is also not optimally used by the department. The department currently offers no consultancy services. Opportunities: The department envisions a greater expansion of research activities and publications. At the same times the department also aspires to introduce short term courses for all who are interested in areas such as Tissue Culture in collaboration with sister departments and neighbouring institutions. Challenges: The department faces the challenges of upgrading the current syllabus to keep in step with the changing needs of industry, agriculture and society. Other challenges also include the optimal utilization of all facilities available so as to fully realize that potential of the department. Keeping this in mind future challenges include the adaptation and innovation of ideas that can be applied in areas of agriculture and industry Future Plans Future plans include starting a Post-graduate course, improving reach out programmes and involvement in community oriented programmes.

Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities. “Minnova”, the Students’ Club, started the project “Hands of Hope” to provide assistance to the underprivileged section of the society (Students of the department donated computers to the Orphanage at Sahsniang, Jaintia Hills) Students undergo sensitization programmes by visiting Old age homes, Orphanages and School for children with special needs. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The programme is considered as an innovative project of the college and the first of its kind to be started under North Eastern Hill University (NEHU). The course has been started as an answer to the acutely felt need of the educational scenario of the North-Eastern region and it has been tailored along the patterns followed by some of the best management institutes in the country. The young and vibrant faculty of the department. It is also the only department under NEHU for this course where there is no dearth of faculty for every paper offered. The department is conscious and aware of social problems and impending dilemmas faced by the community within the city. To this, it has designed project assignments that will sensitize the department’s students as well as raise consciousness amongst the public at large. Weakness: The course is affiliated to the university, thus desired changes to the curriculum cannot be effected without the approval of the affiliating university. The library and reference resources need to be strengthened. Opportunities: Apart from pursuing a career in the main stream professional courses, the department offers a viable option to the aspirations of the young people of North-East India. The department can address the potentials that are present in this region in terms of “Eco and adventure tourism” and “bio-prospecting”. Challenges: Adequate space in terms of students’ seminar hall and department staff room is a constraint. Providing and equipping the students with the relevant and up-to-date knowledge is another challenge since the curriculum designing and acceptance is dependent on the affiliating university. Despite this drawback, the department tries its level best to expose the students to St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:30 Evaluative Reports of the Departments subjects and topics through guest lectures, seminars and relevant workshops. Because of the geographical location of the college, students are not adequately exposed to the industry. However, this is usually compensated through project works, assignments and field trips to locally available business organizations. Future Plans The department wishes to embark on a major project to sensitize the youth about the various social issues and dilemmas with the hope that they would be socially aware and responsive while pursuing their cognitive development and economic aspirations. The department is seriously considering the starting of a business incubation cell where its students and other interested individuals and parties can be equipped with requisite skills and information to pursue entrepreneurial activities. Some of the thrust areas would be in the field of tourism and bio-diversity.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The varied specializations of the faculty of the department allows it to cover different aspects of the syllabi in an intensive and detailed manner. The unity and camaraderie among members of the faculty allow the department to carry out its different tasks and assignments in a smooth and efficient way. Weakness: The department has not been able to utilize the research grants available from different sponsoring agencies for the faculty and students and therefore is unable to publish research articles in high impact journals. Opportunities: 1. To reorient the courses and curricula and to train students to adapt to 34. advances, changes and requirements of modern industrial and service sectors. 2. To carry out collaborative research works involving students, with agencies of national and international repute. 3. To enhance our capabilities through regular participation in various academic events. Challenges: Our primary challenge as a department is to incorporate changes in our curriculum and teaching approaches that reflect the needs of an ever changing society and industry. With this view it becomes imperative for our department to investigate new ways to impart skills to our students making them readily employable. Future Plans The department plans to start Post Graduate programme in the future. St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:68 Evaluative Reports of the Departments Rajput, K. S.

St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:77 Evaluative Reports of the Departments SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The department has qualified people as its faculty who are dedicated and sincere in the discharge of their duties. They have always performed above and beyond the call of duty. The department boasts of a very close-knit relationship and a warm and endearing spirit of camaraderie. The faculties are willing to jump in time of need and assist each other in whatever possible. This makes for a very pleasant working atmosphere in the department. The faculties are also resourceful and reliable and on many occasions have contributed much to the department in particular and to the college in general over the past many years. 34. Weakness: The number of students per class that the department caters to is too large. This severely undermines the effectiveness of the faculty to provide quality lectures and classroom interactions to the students. The department has a very small room as its departmental staff room, which has made preparing for classes and working on other departmental activities difficult. The shortage of time for preparing lectures and for completing of the syllabus is another weak area for the department. The honours students of the department are severely handicapped by the very limited choice of elective subjects offered to them. Opportunities: The department has ample scope for inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary academic projects. The department can also provide students with guidance to prepare for competitive exams. There is also scope for innovation in the teaching learning process. Challenges: The department has no free hand in framing the syllabus as per the current need of the students. There is a great lack of research facilities. There are too many non-academic activities disrupting effective academic exercises.

The Department conducts training programme for practicing farmer and rural youth. The Department also organizes awareness programmes on conservation of aquatic diversity at village level. The Department has distributed fish seed to farmers for the development of culture fisheries in the state St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:83 Evaluative Reports of the Departments 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The Department has its own dedicated block with four class rooms equipped with ICTs, two labs, one seminar cum museum room and one research lab. It also has a full-fledged fish hatchery complex with Chinese eco hatchery for carps, flow through system for magur and six ponds. The subject also allows for greater scope for employment in the state departments and banks and for self-employment as well. Weakness: There is a felt need for more specialized teaching staff to handle other branches of fisheries. The Department at present does not have a proper fish farm. The Department is also concern about the lack of institute for higher education (PG) in NE India which could hamper the upward mobility of the students as far as their further studies in concerned. Opportunities: The students have plenty of job opportunities in different sectors after they complete the course. The students can take up the subject as a vocation and an entrepreneurship development project. The Department plans to change the current programme to four years B. FSc course instead of three years. It is also looking forward to launching a Master‟s Degree programme in the subject and research oriented programme. Challenges: The development of fisheries in the hill state of Meghalaya leaves much room for improvement. This can hamper the employability level of the students who graduate from this programme.

Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: Annual Field study of 1-11 days duration, to areas of geological importance; Student Seminar for 3rd year student; Extensive use of ICT (including animation modules for 3D visualization) Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The primary strength of the Department is the honesty and zeal of all the four teaching staff members in imparting their knowledge and expertise to the students. The staff spares no effort in doing their duties. They work hard to create a friendly atmosphere in the classrooms so that learning in the department is without any reservations turning each class into a joyous experience. No barriers exist between students and teachers. In this regard, some students even refer to the department as their „second home‟. The ability of the staff to perceive and understand students and the conflicts they face in life – emotional, financial, family relations, ability to cope up in studies, etc. – and singly or jointly counsel(s) the student(s) is a great advantage. The results have always been encouraging since the faculty is able to take appropriate steps to address their problems. The sincere contribution of a good Lab Assistant helps make the synergy in the department a winning combination. St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:93 Evaluative Reports of the Departments Weaknesses: The current number of faculty in the department is a cause of concern. In the zeal to impart the basics of the subject, create a friendly atmosphere and concern for the students coupled with the personal relationship with one and all, the lack of more qualified personnel hampers the use of more creative means of teaching in the classroom. Students approach to the study of the subject leaves much room for improvement. The number of days spent for field-work is inadequate considering the fact that Geology is a field-based subject. Opportunities: The support and cooperation from the college authorities, morally and financially, since the last few years have opened up new opportunities in the department. Good (and expensive) books, used the world over, are slowly being bought and made available; the departmental library is slowly enriched and is make teaching and learning very convenient. Financial support from the management to improve basic infrastructure in the department is appreciated; financial support to increase the number of microscopes, rocks, minerals and fossil specimens shall truly help one and all to learn and teach the subject. Close relationships are slowly being built up with professional geological institutions around Shillong – like GSI, AMD, NESAC, DMR, Lafarge, etc – in the last few years. Various programs as guest lectures, short training programs on mapping, remote sensing, disaster management, as well as exhibitions are on the anvil. Challenges: Over the last few years the scope of Geology has tremendously increased, since liberalization and globalization has led to a boom in the economic growth of the nation in particular and the world as a whole. An economic boom has also led to an increased demand for raw materials as ironore, tin, aluminum, gold, etc., besides more power and energy, especially hydroelectric power. Thus, the need for more earth materials, power, metals, groundwater, hydrocarbons, etc., have put geologists in the forefront in the search for and supply of increasing global demands and needs. Environmental studies, such as global warming and pollution, are partly related to Geology along with Chemistry and life sciences, and geologists have to play their part in providing solutions to such problems. The Department hopes to meet this challenge by grooming young students who are well-equipped with the fundamentals of Geology to go for higher studies in reputed universities so that in the long run they can meet the growing demand for geologists who will in turn be able to meet the above needs.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The Department boasts of the presence of qualified personnel who can also guide research scholars if the opportunity arises. Weakness: The Department requires more full-time faculty.With the present number of faculty available, it has become difficult to conduct any curricular activities. Secondly, the number of classes allotted to the Department is too few which hampers the completion of the syllabus on time. Opportunities: The Department has immense potential to organize Seminars/Workshop/ Lectures. These programmes could be organized not only at the regional level but even at National level also. Challenges: The Department is unable to organize more co-curricular activities due to the lack of funds.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The department is the only one in the entire North East India to offer an undergraduate course in Mass Communication. The department has a well-balanced faculty in terms of experience and areas of specialization. The faculty members share good rapport with other members within the department and outside it. The department also has well-equipped studios and production-quality equipment. The students come from diverse backgrounds which allows for a very healthy exchange of ideas, concepts and attitudes. Each student is given a lot of hands-on exposure to the equipment and is expected to be proficient in their use. Weakness: 34. The department does not have a well-equipped film screening room which would further enhance our ability to cater to the nedes of our students. Opportunities: The greatest opportunity is in terms of the growing local, national and international media industry. Being a professional course our students are employable immediately after graduation. Challenges Teaching new concepts to freshers who have had no previous exposure to the field of media remain our biggest challenge. With a constantly evolving media scene, new technologies being introduced and new methods of producing media the department is challenged to keep abreast with these changes. Future Plans Besides starting a post-graduate course in Journalism and Mass Communication, the department also plans to re-introduce add-on courses in Video Editing and Sound Editing in the near future. These add-on programmes will be open to all.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The Department have an excellent team of people who are sincere, dedicated and knowledgeable about their subjects. The Department has a good interdepartmental collaboration with other departments such as Commerce, Business Administration, Bio-Chemistry, Bio-technology and Computer Science. Weakness: The departmental staff room does not have enough space to accommodate all six of its faculty, the bookshelves and other furniture. The number of books in the library is also insufficient to cater to the need of the students as well as the teachers. The student-teacher ratio is heavily lopsided which invites induction of more teachers into the department. The number of classes provided for the completion of the Syllabi is also insufficient which forces the teachers to take extra classes every year. Opportunities: If more teachers are inducted into the department then PG courses can be introduced and this may help the department in future to open up avenue for research facility. The department plans to start remedial classes, coaching for various entrance examinations in the future.

The students taking Mizo as MIL and Non-MIL Mizo students collaborate and are actively involved in the production of a monthly newsletter titled “The Anthonian Times” which provides students with the opportunity to express their creativity in writing and learn the language and culture. Through classroom discussions, question- answers sessions, projects and assignments. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The Department offers M.I.L only in 2nd year and 3rd year. Since Mizo is not offered as an honors or elective subject, very few students are able to take up the subject. However, due to the interest in the language and subject shown by students of the Mizo Community, the Department has been able to organize Guest lectures and departmental debates along with the Mizo students of other streams and departments. It is the students’ enthusiasm in the language that has greatly helped the department and the lone faculty in holding the programmes. Weakness: Since the department does not offer the subject either as an Elective or Honors Course students who have often scored the highest marks in the university examinations are deprived of the opportunity to pursue higher studies at the University level. Since all the students taking the subject are primarily students of other departments, it is difficult to hold seminars, lectures and St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:127 Evaluative Reports of the Departments workshops even though there are resource persons available. Opportunities: There is a possibility of including MIZO as an MIL in the B.Com Programme. This will open up opportunities and plans to hold more academic programmes with the support of the College and students. Challenges: The fact that the Department does not have a full-fledged honours course hampers efforts to develop the subject further and to engage in academic exercises that could prove beneficial to the student community in particular and the subject in general.

Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: N.A The department celebrated World Philosophy Day by organizing a departmental seminar on the occasion Enhance critical thinking through various departmental activities like group discussion, debates Guest lectures Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: Philosophy is becoming a popular subject because it is value-oriented, dealing with both the materialistic and spiritualistic aspects of life. It helps in understanding life in its totality, widens the vision and increases the level of understanding and bring about integrity of life, society and world in the midst of diversity, chaos of values and de-valuation of life. Philosophy being the mother of all subjects, its practical implication due to its reflective thinking, logical analysis, critical evaluation, understanding and synthesis has caught the attention of recent scholars and educators in other fields too. This has resulted in the inclusion of the subject in other important institutions like IIT, NIIT etc.. As a result, the number of students applying for admission to the department has seen an increase annually beyond the set quota of the college. This has inspired and encouraged the faculties to hold more academic programmes in the future. Weakness: The Department is under-staffed while the number of papers included in the 34. syllabus is the same as all the other Departments in the College. Opportunities: Due to the increasing number of students in the Department, it now has much scope to organize programmes and big events with their support as has been done this year. Should the Department receive more financial support from the College, many more programmes could be held in the years to come. The Department is also looking forward to the possibility of starting Master’s Degree Programme so as to be able to start various research projects. Challenges: The Department faces the challenge of instilling its students with good values for the making of better citizens and a better society and state. 33.

Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility(ISR) and Extension activities SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan - Strength: It is a Department with a well-established history and credentials. The Department over the years has produced some of the most prominent leaders of the society in different fields of the State as well as the region. It also attracts more students than any other departments of the social sciences. It has the largest number of students among the various optional subjects offered in the College. The students of this department constitute the largest number of students who pursue their higher studies in the Department of Political Science, NEHU. At the same time, a good number of students are also able to get admission into the top universities of India like JNU, DU, Pondicherry University, Hyderabad Central University and Law Colleges etc. The Department has also attracted the attention of the students not only from the state and region but also from the neighbouring countries. 34. Weaknesses: Compared to the number of students opting for this subject, the number of teachers is at present inadequate. Therefore, the Department is not able to offer many of the optional courses which otherwise should be available to the students. The acute shortage of faculty and the existing rules and regulations act as a deterrent to the teachers who are inclined towards taking up research projects and other related activities. Opportunities & Challenges: The subject provides enough flexibility to the students to find placements in different fields such as government employment, Law, research, think-tank, teaching Politics etc. The Department feels that the concern authority should sanction more posts in the department so that it can also conduct short-term courses on Human Rights, Parliamentary Practices, and Ethical Politics for serving the needs of government employees, political leaders, and members of different NGOs etc. St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:152 Evaluative Reports of the Departments STATISTICS Sl.

Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility(ISR) and Extension activities Students of the Department are members of the NSS, NCC and other student and youth organizations of the College SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan: Strength: The Department is actively involved in teaching and research. Weakness: 34. There is a lack of short term or applied oriented courses, which is preferred by many for their scope for employment. The Department also requires more computers for teaching and research purposes. Opportunities: The Department looks forward to starting the much-required short-term courses as well as Post-Graduate courses on Applied Statistics along with relevant computer applications. Challenges: The Department faces the need to fine-tune its teaching-learning process to make its students more viable for higher studies or employment.

Strong network with the management and other Departments in the college, the parent Department in the University and with other Schools and Colleges. Good support from the technical and support staff of the department. St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013 E:167 Evaluative Reports of the Departments Students admitted to the department are motivated and diligent with a good scientific approach. Students of the department are actively involved in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Strong faculty which are actively involved in teaching and research; Space and Basic infrastructure for conducting research is available. Special classes and assignments for non-collegiate students are also conducted during vacations to help them keep track of the classes carried out. For improved learning, field trips are organized to enhance field base knowledge and sample collections. Weaknesses TheTeacher-student ratio is imbalanced. Time constrain leading to difficulties in including new practicals for students. Limited opportunity to change curriculum Need to improve further knowledge on other state of the art instruments and equipments. Opportunities Ample scope for research and projects for faculty and students. Departmental programmes organized from time to time will enable the students to develop more sense of responsibility. Communication Skills conducted at the department level (under DBTstar college scheme). The department has ample scope for organising soft skills programmes for self-esteem, confidence building efforts; team work building and other inter personal skills. Challenges Keeping the students focused in the discipline. Limited time for completion of academics and extra-curricular events. To avail funds from funding agencies for research Future Plans: To continue to work towards excellence in teaching and learning Continue with the research endeavor .
