Page53Different Add on courses offered in different courses cater to curriculum development.About 14 Certificate/Value Added courses are offered during 2011-12.Societal Needs:- Local and societal needs are very much taken into account when thesubjects and courses are added to the institution.

Even in pure science [eg:-material science] combinations, theComputer Science as common subject is offered at the <strong>college</strong>.Changing Trends:- The prevalent market demand leads to abundant job potential inthe areas of Commerce, Accountancy, Business Management, Quality Control, QualityAssurance, TQM areas and creative professions. The courses are also meant forgrooming young entrepreneurs, also for self-employment empowerment for whichopportunity provided for the students of the <strong>college</strong>.The College, as an affiliated <strong>college</strong> under Bangalore University, is expected to followa common curriculum prepared for all the Colleges under the University. However,some teachers of the College are in the capacity as members of Boards of Studies andother curriculum decision making bodies of the University, and hence associated withthe curriculum preparation exercise.Catering to the marginalized:- The institution encourages, informs and supportsregular merit scholarships, scholarships for SC/ST/minorities. The College givesattention to the underprivileged, needy, poor and deprived sections of society bywaiving off the fee in proportionate manner, in spite of being a self-financedinstitution.Ecology and Environment:- A compulsory paper- Environmental Studies is to bestudied by every student joining any degree course.

All of such students‘ outputs, through their careers, alsocontribute their mite to the national development.


Page54Higher Education and Employment:- The Degrees of Universities from India add upto 15 years of Education, falling short of one year for pursuing a Masters in mostforeign Universities. To cover this deficiency, Bangalore University has come out with4 years Honour‘s course ( 10 years schooling+6 years of <strong>college</strong> education), whicheventually would fulfill the 16 years of education to pursue M S degree from foreignUniversities.Employability is a major consideration in the design and development of thecurriculum. Consultations are done with industry/employment sector in the curriculumadaptation process. A fully functional cell for career guidance caters to therequirements in the field of employment. Many industries and corporates are contactedby the cell before the start of the academic year.

A host of students, even before securing degree from theCollege, get employed through our Campus Recruitment programs.ICT empowerment:- A compulsory Computer Science paper is introduced to all thecourses as per Bangalore University regulation. The paper is in different semesters fordifferent courses. For Eg:- For B.A. & for B.Com and BBM it is in 3 rd & 4 th sem., andso on.

This provides first-handexperience of ICT to students.The College organizes co-curricular activities such as seminars, interfaces,interactions, debates and discussions for the students. Introduction of career-focusedsubjects in view of societal requirements and global trends has helped the students toequip themselves to face the future challenges, in turn catering to global and nationaldemands. Thus the curriculum design is suitable for meeting the overall developmentof the students.A compulsory paper of Indian Constitution is introduced by Bangalore University inevery degree course curriculum. The paper is spread over different semesters fordifferent courses. For instance, it is in 2 nd Semester for BA, 3 rd Sem. of BCA, B.Sc. in


Page55the 4 th sem. for BBM and B.Com. This apart, students are the initiators of the designand implementation of co-curricular programs, thereby gaining leadership qualities,community in<strong>vol</strong>vement and team spirit. They work by ignoring the barriers on linesof caste, creed, religion or region, thus fostering the unity and integrity of the nation.The Lesson Planning in terms of hours, weeks and months for the entire semester isdone by the departments with faculty members conducting meetings and in<strong>vol</strong>vingthemselves in a creative process of imparting the curriculum.

Envisaging the need with promising access and reach tothe aspirants, the GDA Foundation initiated <strong>Surana</strong> College among its objectives torender services through erecting or supporting hospitals, temples and educationalinstitutions. Inclusiveness is in the ethos of the management paving way foracceptance by the aspirants and community.3. The Context:-The institution situated in one of the fastest growing cities of the world, the A-gradeCity of Bangalore, is in a Cosmopolitan environment thus inherently having demandfor higher education. <strong>Surana</strong> College is tuned into a community <strong>college</strong>, unlike aninternational <strong>college</strong>. The <strong>college</strong> works in non-profit approach; no donation at the<strong>Surana</strong>‘s. Offering co-education has been an advantage with the institution.Surrounded within a radius of five kilometers by more than ten aided <strong>college</strong>s, aboutfive autonomous <strong>college</strong>s and two universities offering degree courses, the Collegefaces constant challenge of mustering quality intake, training, delivery, out-reach andoutput.4. The Practice:-The College offers Courses in Arts, Science, Commerce and Management. TheCollege is recognized by the Govt. of Karnataka, affiliated to Bangalore Universityand is recognized by University Grants Commission /AICTE, New Delhi. The Collegewith 20 different departments is guided by the Managing Trustee Mrs. Archana <strong>Surana</strong>in day-to-day administration.The College works under an affiliated system with Bangalore University - Bangaloreand it is in strategic, centrally located campuses. Constantly identifying valueadditionsto the university stipulated curriculum, the College designs balanced inputsof curricular and co-curricular components into its practice. Students in the campushave freedom coupled with responsibility. The teachers act as mentors. Healthyacademic relationship between faculty and students has enhanced and secured thelearning outcomes.

In a culturallyanointed environment, there is emphasis on inculcating values. With affordable feeagainst quality, the curriculum is embedded with pro-community practices. No cultureshocks in the campus. The immense support of the management through its openmindedadministrative techniques has given competent results. The College run undera Trust has experienced members on its governing council who are aware of theimportance of identifying and training different levels of leadership with a 360 0perspective. Every member of the College strives to innovate for quality delivery atindividual, technological and collective levels.Some of the Constraints in being consistent in imparting quality to students includethat of dividing the time between the affiliating university demands and catering to theinstitutional aspiration; The College being centrally located has no sports ground as onnow; Aspirants from outside the city seek hostel facility and the <strong>college</strong> has MoU withsome of such space providers.Attuned to the community approach of intake, address, practice and deliver, theCollege does not have students of other nationality. Hence, there is limited scope tointernational and intercultural approach by practice. However, theoretical inputs in theline are provided for.5. Evidence of Success:-The challenge of intake and admission every successive year for over a decade issuccessfully overcome as on date. Functioning since the academic year 1995, it had ahumble beginning with 22 students and 28 staff members and now it has an average of1400 students and about eighty motivated staff members.

Thecorporate sector, service industry and socio-cultural institutions look up to have thestudents from the College in their organizations. Various organizations frequentlyapproach the College for tie-ups and collaboration.6. Problems encountered and resources required:-Being self-financed, private unaided institution, fees is charged for providing aptfacilities and giving better value-additions. Need-based Installments are given throughscrutiny. True to the ethos of the institution culture, some of the differently-abled,


Page216financially weaker and single-parent children find a roost with support from theinstitution. Funding constraints often are conflicting with fees. Because the College isidentified as not of a conventional kind but belonging to the class of moderninstitutions, the student support facilities, infrastructure, learning resources – all haveto be updated, fresh and innovative too. All possible support from the universitythrough kind is obtained for the welfare of the said sections of aspirants. The corpuscreated out of the students‘ fees is the only source of finance for the development ofthe institution.Using geographical location as an advantage, a vertical structure has been built andoptimum carpet area has been earned against the limited land area.7. Notes (optional)To adopt or implement best practices in the institutionCommitted to impart quality and need-based education, the College is the brainchild ofLate Sri Ghewarchandji <strong>Surana</strong>, a visionary, philanthropist and renowned industrialistas founder of Micro Group of Pharmaceutical Companies.The College envisages expansions, both vertical and horizontal. Plans are afoot in thatperspective. On realizing the same, collaborative efforts with global or internationalagencies could be taken up. Exchange programmes and inviting international studentsto study in this institution will be possible.Cohesive work environment will attract quality HR when needed. Staff-student-parentand societal alignment to achieve the goals will secure steady growth of the institutionwith regular intake and cooperation from the community. Co-curricular achievementslike sports, culture and community reach-outs will boost the morale of the prospectivestudents to contribute more.
