Department of History
The institution has a clearly defined mission that is appropriate to higher
education as well as its own specific educational role. The mission statement
serves as the foundation for institutional operations, programs, and activities.
Statements of the goals and program objectives specify how the institution
will fulfill its mission.
A clearly defined mission statement, appropriate to biblical higher education,
developed and periodically reviewed by broad representation from all sectors
of the institution
A mission statement that guides faculty, staff in making decisions related to
planning, resource allocation, program development, and educational
outcomes.
In accordance with the Mission Statement of the College, the Department
offers a course on Gender Studies.
Women and Gender Studies examines the importance of gender and
feminisms in relation to issues such as race, class, sexuality, labor,
colonialism, multiculturalism, and globalization. Students study how bodies,
families, communities, and nations are gendered in specific cultural and
historical locations; and investigate connections to their own lives, roles, and
contributions. The expertise of the department lies in interdisciplinary,
multicultural, and transnational studies of inequality. Students are taught to
draw from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches in their
study of women and gender.
The department provides analysis and debate of exciting work by feminists
who confront and transform various institutions and arenas, including
academia, politics, law, sexuality, advocacy, pedagogy, non-profit groups,
global non-governmental organizations, communities, labor struggles, and
cultural productions.
The goals of the department include the development of conceptual, analytic,
and critical thinking skills in relation to gender and feminism in a
transnational framework; the ability to integrate academic studies in women
and gender studies into personal and professional goals ; the development of
skills to formulate and implement theoretically-informed political, cultural,
and community action; the ability to analyze gender from an interdisciplinary
perspective, using a range of methodological tools; an historical
understanding of gender in relation to structural inequality, social
movements, and labor struggles; and the ability to critically examine
representation and cultural production through a feminist lens.
The department also offers a paper on Human Rights to sensitize the students
to the various issues relating to Human Rights.
Over the last decade, support for international human rights and
democratization has grown steadily as an area of international development
co-operation, and since the mid-1980s, there has been a shift in policy
orientation from principle commitment to actual support for human rights
5
programs and projects. Comparatively large resources have been used on
supporting human rights and democracy interventions (projects and
programs) by governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental
institutions and organisations.
At the international level, the interest among human rights organisations at
local and national levels is matched by international organisations to learn
more about the effects of joint (or ‚partnership‛) activities, requiring the
construction of analytical models and tool for impact assessment.

National Service Scheme (NSS)
The NSS is affiliated to the University of Madras and runs its programs according to
its stipulations. It also has tie-ups with various international and national
organizations like the Indian Red Cross Society TN, State AIDS Control Society;
there are clubs functioning under their auspices like the Youth Red Cross and the
Red Ribbon Club. The Red Ribbon Club organised an AIDS awareness campaign in
a train stationed at Central station in Chennai. NSS members have been
volunteering in homes like Balarkalvi Nilayam and Anbumalar over the past year.
One day camps were organized in CHES – Periyapalayam and Shanthi Illam
Manivakam regularly. The YRC conducted a one day camp in WCC on the 18 th of
February where speakers from the Indian Red Cross Society addressed students
about various issues of importance. Blood donation camps were also organized by
the NSS club of WCC and the VBB at the Assembly Hall on 22nd July 2010 and 7th
February 2011. A free eye camp was organized by the club together with Harvay
optical on 14th February ’11. A one week special camp for day and evening college
NSS volunteers was held in Mohan Gardens, Korattur from 3rd - 9th January ’11. The
RRC and TANSAC organized ‘Illavatam’ culturals from 10th -12th September 2010.
The club members volunteered at the Egmore Children’s hospital on 13th November

39
rallies namely, An eye donation rally on 5th September 2010, Anti Corruption rally on
11th August and a rally for Disability on 4th December.
Rotaract
The Rotaract Club of Women’s Christian College is sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Madras Metro and comes under R.I.District 3230. The club’s theme is ‚Assuring the
world we care‛. The following projects were conducted during the year.
The ‚STREE SURAKSHA‛ rally against trafficking of women was held at the Marina
beach on July 31st 2010 and was flagged off by Ms Vaishnavi Jayakumar and
Ms Vandana Gopikumar, founders of Banyan Foundation. Believing that before
participating in a rally, the students should know the importance and reason for
their protest, on July 28th 2010 an interactive seminar was conducted by Ms Isabel, a
well-known social worker who emphasized the physical and mental torture that
many students took a pledge that they would not tolerate any form of violence
against women. Students held banners, posters and charts and raised slogans as
they walked along the beach.
Community Service projects included frequent visits to old age homes and
orphanages like ‘Little Sisters of the poor’, ‘Angel’s wings’, ‘TANSOCOA’ etc.
Volunteer work at the ‘Child Development Centre’ (CDC), a school for mentally
challenged children wherein the students helped in renovating the centre during the
month of August. The students with their creative skills painted the walls and
prepared charts and made the centre look more colorful which drew the attention of
all the children at the centre. The children at the centre thanked the students for
taking the initiative to transform their school.
A breast cancer awareness program was conducted on October 8th 2010 in our
campus by ‘CAN STOP’ organization where the US General’s wife Elizabeth Simkin,
who has been affected herself, addressed the students on the signs and symptoms of
breast cancer.
Club service aims to improve networking skills and enhancing fellowship.
Phoenix’10 was a cultural event jointly organized by the Rotaract Clubs of College of
Engineering, Guindy and Women’s Christian College, held on the 19th of September
2010 at the Union Christian School Auditorium, Chetpet. The proceeds of the event
were donated to a shelter home for HIV kids at Kolathur.
As professional service deals with improving personality and leadership quality of
students, various lectures, discussions (on topic ‘Chennai Vision 2020’) and
workshops (on topic such as ‘Study Skills’) were organized. Students also wrote
essays to develop their writing skills. Swords 2011 was an inter-collegiate debating
competition held in WCC on 16th February 2011, where various other colleges
40
participated on the topic ‘Are reality shows a platform for showcasing talent or for
promoting aggressive competition?’
As part of International Service, three Rotaractors from Sri Lanka (R.I.District 3220)
visited Chennai. Several students were interested in learning a foreign language and
so under the initiative of Mrs Gitanjali Rajan, Lecturer Department of English and Dr
Ranjani Christopher, Associate Professor, Department of Languages, Japanese and
Spanish classes were conducted after college hours. Awareness on various
international issues was raised and various ‘World’ days (such as World AIDS Day,
World Disability Day, etc) were celebrated.
The club has won awards in the district which includes the maximum registration
award at the District Rotaract Conference (26th & 27th February) and Certificate of
Excellence for the club.
National Cadet Corps (NCC)
Parades are conducted on campus every Saturday. A staff from the NCC unit trains
the cadets, particularly in march past. Kalpana from III Zoology was selected for the
Talsanic camp and she has done exceedingly well winning many medals and laurels.
The NCC cadets also helped with piloting as well as the ‘Guard of Honour’ for
various events on campus like Sports day, Festeve, Republic day and during
inauguration of conferences. Four NCC cadets attended the National Integration
camp held at Sikkim in the month of December. Eight NCC cadets have appeared
for the B-Certificate exam this year and are currently awaiting results. Four cadets
attended the Republic day camp at CRPF, Avadi and went upto the pre IGC level.
Young Indian (YI)
The Young Indian Club is an initiative by the Confederation of Indian Industries
started in 2002. The aim of YI is ‘to be the voice of young Indians globally’. YI has
successfully conducted campaigns and development projects in the areas of
education, healthcare and the environment, therefore, contributing positively to the
nation.
The YI group of WCC has conducted and been a part of various activities
throughout the academic year. The first project was volunteer work at the Dean
Foundation, an NGO that works towards providing palliative care for those
suffering from incurable illnesses. YI members organized and put up a stall at the
Ampa Skywalk mall for ‘World Palliative Care Day’ where Rs 7000 was raised for
The Dean Foundation. They also participated in the Stree Suraksha, a rally against
Women Trafficking held by the Rotaract Club.
In August, YI members volunteered for the Light of the World Ballet show held by
The Kids Learning Centre, a school for children with learning disabilities. We sold
41
tickets for the show and volunteered on the day of the programme, helping with
seating, makeup, etc. In September, a lime juice and ice tea sale was held in college.
Proceeds were used to sponsor a tea-time meal at The Indian Council for Child
Welfare.
Members have also volunteered at The Blue Cross, where they helped giving
puppies baths and cleaning out their cages. Members have also taken part in Blood
Donation Camps held in college and a rally held by Vidya Sagar on initiating a
policy for disabled people to be included in the national census. We have also
attended a talk on Breast Cancer Awareness organized by the Rotaract Club and
raised funds for the NGO Rehboth. Members have also attended the SCARF film
festival to raise awareness on psychological illnesses held in the South Indian Film
Chamber of Commerce.
The film Peepli Live was screened on campus to raise awareness of the situation
faced by farmers in India. It also helped plan and initiate a Go Local campaign on
campus with the Environmentalist Nityanand Jayaraman. The campaign is to
promote the purchase of goods from local sellers, directly benefiting the local
economy. For the campaign, Mr Jayaraman presented a talk on Corporate Social
Responsibility to interested people on campus. Members of the campaign then
organized yet another talk and the screening of the films ‘The Story of Stuff’ and
‘The 11th Hour’, both on environmental issues, on campus. We have held a stall in
Festeve’11 to promote the campaign.
In 2011 two major projects were initiated. One of the projects was reading to the
blind – members actively volunteered at the Lotus Blind Welfare Trust in Mylapore
where we helped the visually challenged with written work and assignments. We
also read on a daily basis. The other project is volunteer work at the Young
Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) in Egmore, where YI members teach underprivileged children English. One group goes on weekdays and the other on
weekends. Both groups have developed interactive ways to teach the children and
to ensure that they understand the language. The YI Club of WCC has won the
Award for the Best YI Club in the State for the second consecutive year.

Use of LCD as a vital teaching aid.

Free web tools for Bioinformatics
Screencasting using freeware Screen R
SPSS, Sony LCD projector, Hp Compaq lap top softwares are used for
teaching. Frequent use of LCD/Overhead projectors is ensured.
A digital interactive board when connected to a computer and a data projector
becomes a large interactive Board. Lectures become entertaining and interactive.
Students get engaged and concentration increases. Simply touching the Board
with the pen, the teacher can run all computer functions. Thus, conversion of
classroom into a Smart class room using ICT has been implemented successfully.
Visualizer used in a classroom helps the teacher to project whatever experiment
is performed on her table to the entire class. Hence, students get an enlarged
view from their position in the class without having to move around.
RF pad is another ICT tool that enables the teacher to walk around the class room
as she is lecturing without having to be near the computer from which her lecture
is being projected. This simulates the old method of closer interaction with
students in the class enabling the teacher to look at the notes being taken or
exercise being worked out.
A Fast Ethernet Internet Camera has been installed at the ante room just before
the entrance to the computer lab where close surveillance is required. This makes
monitoring of this closed area possible from the staff room or recorded if
necessary.
A wireless printer and a wireless projector have also been purchased which
introduces flexibility and ease of use in lab or classroom.

31. Support from the Parent-Teacher Association and its Activities
Parents’ being important stakeholders of our institution, their support has been a
major source of strength. When students join their first year degree program, they
are given a one day Orientation Programme along with their parents to brief them
about the various programs and activities on campus. The parents meet the
Principal, Vice-Principal, the Deans, the Registrar and the hostel Warden (only
resident students) during the day. An open day is arranged once a year when
parents’ are invited to discuss the academic performance of their wards. This
involvement has made parents, vital partners in the development of their children.
The perceptions and the perspectives of the parents have enriched the College
beyond measure, even though we do not have a formal Association.
32. Health services
A medical check-up if organized for the first year students. A lady doctor visits the
campus four times a week to meet the needs of the Resident students. First aid /

39. Best practices of the institution
Students who enter the portals of WCC are not only empowered but imbibe the
values taught by the institution to become a channel of blessing to others in the
society thus living true to the motto of the institution ‘Lighted to Lighten’.
Several programmes are organized at the department, inter-department and college
levels. The curriculum is updated periodically incorporating academic needs to meet
the market requirement. The students are encouraged to do course projects and on
the job training in leading organisations. They are also given training for many of
the competitive examinations, which help them in their choice of jobs. Their
planning co-ordinating & executing skills are honed when they are encouraged to
host curricular, extracurricular and cultural programmes. Student exchange
programmes and particularly the visits of foreign university students enable them to
have a broader perspective of life, which also inculcates a sense of respect towards
other cultures.
The Advisor-advisee system is a healthy practice followed by the College which not
only fosters a relationship between the staff and the students but also help the
72
authorities to bring out the latent talents in students. Such activities result in the
holistic development of the students’ personality.
The annual college play of Women’s Christian College is a long-standing, yet unique
tradition of the college. Each year, a play that reflects contemporary issues, thought
provoking themes relating to social dilemmas, or gender concerns, is presented to
the public as a professional theatrical production that wins acclaim from theatre
critics. In addition to being an income-generating venture, the proceeds of which are
earmarked for enhancing college infrastructure, the learning that ensues from this
activity is tremendous. Students, through an intense, participative learning process,
gain experience in a gamut of skills related to the production of a play by being on
committees like sets and props, costumes and wardrobe, lights and sound, publicity,
tickets and brochure. A workshop is conducted where they are trained in drama
skills. Other benefits that accrue are learning to work as a team and to be responsible
and accountable, interacting with professionals in the field and balancing academic
work with practice sessions. Students who are part of the play report it to be a
significant experience of their college life. This year the Annual College Play ‚In
search of April Rain Tree‛ was staged from 29th September to 1st October 2010. The
play, an adaptation of Beatrice Culleton Mosionier’s novel was directed by Dr Rajani
from Central University of Tamilnadu, Thiruvarur and coordinated by Ms Nalini
Singaravel, Ms Sweetlyn Moses and Dr Sherrie Jesulyn David.
The Whit Gift Ceremony is another longstanding tradition of the College organized
in the month of December during which the entire college community – staff &
students bring gifts and cash for children in orphanages, and adults in Homes for the
destitute, old age homes, Aids shelter. The amount raised this year is ₹ 1,15,000/-,
which was distributed among various welfare organizations.

The Department has links with other departments and institutions for
research, consultancy, outreach and extension activities and strengthening of the
academic programmes. The Department also has links with faculty of Home science
of various colleges in Chennai and across the country, as well as faculty of related
disciplines like biotechnology, food technology, food chemistry, biochemistry,
cardiology, nephrology, diabetology, catering management, commerce, finance,
human resource management, visual communication etc. This has led to
strengthening of mutual ties and facilitated enhancement of the academic
programmes through guest lectures, field visits, representations in boards of studies,
doctoral committees, staff selection committees, interdisciplinary research etc.
The department has forged links with governmental organizations such as
The Tamil Nadu state noon meal programme, ICDS programme, Food and Nutrition
Board and the National Council for Child Development. This has facilitated the
faculty’s role in policy making to create awareness on nutrition and improve the
nutritional status of vulnerable groups. Links with the hospitals, hotels, food
industries and other hospitality and food service sectors has helped establish student
internship and training programmes, provided a database for research and helped in
student placements and feedback from employers.
At the national level, links with premier institutions like the National Institute
of Nutrition, Hyderabad and Central Food Technology Research Institute has helped
faculty and staff keep abreast of the latest developments in the field, through field
trips and conferences organized at these institutions. Collaborations with the
industry have provided financial support for organizing conferences, symposia,
competitions and the annual nutrition week celebrations. These links have helped
74
the department purchase equipment, books and other learning resources. A notable
outcome of industry –academia partnership has been the Pepsico sponsored Smart
Choice Café project, the most recent addition to the department’s extension
