Goal Health club of the institution strives on the holistic well being which includes physical, emotional and social health of the students. It can favourably influence on the good habits, attitude and knowledge related to an individual‟s health and community health. Counseling sessions can enhance the students‟ behaviour towards the attainment of optimum health. 3. Context Good health is the key to good performance in the class and in life. But most of our students are from poor and under privileged section of the society. Since the students are from poor economic status, many students do part time job to meet their educational expenses. Family background of many students also poses stress on students. These psycho-social pressures have a bearing effect on the attitude towards their studies and behavioural practice. Hence the health club conducts various activities focusing on the well being of the students. 4. Practice Health club keeps an eye on the students‟ health by organizing hemoglobin test general medical checkup, and medical advice by doctors. A sick room and firstaid box is maintained for emergency use. The college students in their teens are highly vulnerable to social evils like smoking, alcoholism and drug abuse. Need for tobacco free and drug free environment is stressed through awareness meetings. Psychological counseling is given for stress management and suicide prevention.

Title of the practice “Preparing the workforce” - Career Guidance to students interlaced with Career-oriented programmes towards better placements. 2. Goal To meet the rural students‟ prospect of entrepreneurship and employability. To provide awareness about the financial aid, internship and work opportunities with a focus on how to access them. To nurture the self awareness, leadership qualities and life skills to fetch a right professional position with viable goals. 3. The Context Career-oriented programmes & Career guidance programmes help the students to understand the current scenario of job market and their state of competence to target the opportunities. Comprehensive career guidance tries to teach people RAR – 2014, G. Venkataswamy Naidu College, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu. 161 Innovations and Best Practices to plan and make decisions about acquaintances about placement market demands. Career-oriented programmes and guidance provides specific contexts venturing towards placement. Choice of work is heavily influenced by the social strata of the individual in rural areas. Economic interdependence among family and community members is essential to stabilize their survival. Women have less access than men to get better employment and quality in life settlement. In this context we try to implement our best practices to help all the students. 4. The Practice It is tremendously aimed towards promoting the confidence level of the students and urging them to set definite goals to obtain better career and improved life style. Our practice consists of three aspects listed below: Career guidance cell and the Departments organize many career guidance programmes. Most of the stakeholders are first generation graduates and they are lacking in their selection ideas with reference to the available career options. The proposal of the best practice is aimed to develop the individual‟s competency in awareness, knowledge, education, occupational exploration and career planning. The institution organizes periodical workshops in various marketable skills like making of Bouquet, Soft toys, Ear rings, Glass paintings, Fashion accessories and Artificial flower making. The guidance of the unit promotes the students to pave the way for marketing their products by conducting Exhibition cum Sale which motivates “Earn While Learn”. The institution also conducts UGC sponsored career-oriented programmes as well as management sponsored add-on courses to ensure better opportunities and placement for students. These practices facilitate to meet the prospect of entrepreneurship and employability of the rural students. 5. Evidence of Success. The above said practices help the individuals to acquire knowledge skills and activate them to explore and succeed in the alternative opportunities towards placement. Many students from the marginalized community have been successfully placed in the past. In 2011, Vijaya Bank (Nationalized Bank) recruited 13 students from our college the highest count from the whole of Tamil RAR – 2014, G. Venkataswamy Naidu College, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu. 162 Innovations and Best Practices Nadu. The placements of the students have considerably increased in the past seven years. These programmes motivate the students to become entrepreneurs. Considerable numbers of our alumni are successfully running Garment and Designer shops. Our students at the campus have launched a boutique called “Elegant Outfit” for designing Women‟s Wear and Accessories. This opportunity develops confidence in students to become an entrepreneur in future. Our students have designed the costumes for the lead actress in a Tamil movie “Ootha”. The add-on courses help the students to set up small businesses to support themselves. The trained students in these courses have been placed in reputed business companies and acting as role models to their juniors as well. 6. Problems encountered and Resources required: We faced problems in implementing the costly training programmes. Many rural people do not have basic education which hampered their wards access to technical and vocational training or other skill development courses. Female students are generally suppressed in entering the fray of entrepreneurship due to the existing societal constraints. The institute is developmental approaches, career oriented programme focusing on and guidance the to students. 7. Notes The practices are very useful in placing the rural under-privileged students in better positions, which in turn uplifts their economic strata in the society. The College is planning to implement other beneficial practices for betterment of students.

Strength Essentials of good designing and Fashion are easy to learn and Practice. Course is a boon to the rural students. Department has good academic records. Opportunities for Earn while Learn practice. Offering training to the Community in costume designing & handicrafts. Opportunities Weakness Lack of awareness on the prospects of this course in this rural area. Collection of materials for designing is very difficult in the local market. Scope for wonderful careers in Fashion and Textile industries. Rise of apparel industries in nearby areas. Need for a designer is growing in apparel industries. Increasing job opportunities in Apparel Retail Stores. Challenges Due to the lack of knowledge about the course among the public, there is a wrong perspective about the course. Every year it is necessary to conduct the awareness program for the school students about the course. FUTURE PLANS. Proposed to start M.Sc. in Costume Design and Fashion. To develop link with industries and various institutions through MOU for training and Job opportunities for the students. RAR – 2014, G.
