7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness |
|
Founded
and managed as a college for women, the management is committed to the
education of women with commitment to diversity and inclusion. A majority of
the college students are first generation learners from remote, rural areas
of Dinanagar / Gurdaspur . There are some from orthodox and conservative
backgrounds who, but for a girls’ college like ours would not have been
allowed by their patriarchal families to pursue higher education. The fact
that they can do so at our College is a sense of pride for us for it meets
the National Development Goals of delaying the age of marriage by upto 5years
and ensures that the mothers of the coming generation are all graduates. Here
is a physically safe and secure as well as emotionally and spiritually
nurturing environment for them to learn and grow. In
the humanities stream, even students with a low percentage are welcomed,
mentored, tutored and given equal,free and fair opportunities to participate
in all activities on campus. Needless to say they are our proudest successes
when the lesson learnt at college in class and outside it teaches them to
stand on their own feet financially, emotionally and spiritually. Management
and Faculty provide tremendous emotional support to students. Woman centered
mentoring is in place for all students. At times of personal and family
bereavement faculty and management visit homes and provide unstinted support.
Faculty interacts with parents whenever required. Timely intervention is
carried out when faculty feels students may be in danger or unstable in any way.
In 2019-20 the management has extended financial support to students and members
of the local community of an amount of Rs.15, 63,726. . Days
of National importance and days significant to the State of Punjab are
celebrated with prayer, talks and student activities. Sometimes teachers
follow bilingual mode of instruction for the benefit of students. Student
grievances regarding evaluation and results are addressed promptly. The
college conducts various activities to ensure student centric learning
environment. Curriculum enrichment is ensured through outreach and extension
programmes in which faculty and students participate. Field trips,
inter-departmental activities and programs organised with collaborative
support from organizations of national repute provide invaluable national and
even international exposure to our rural students. Our NSS group is vibrant
and dynamic fostering leadership and believes in the mission of altruistic
and ethical service. At seminars, workshops and conferences, students are
given key leadership roles. They are encouraged to participate across
departments in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities on and off
campus. Sensitivity to the environment and eco consciousness is fostered on
our campus in every activity that is pursued. The college is delighted to
report that the learning outcome of students is portrayed by many of our students’
progression to other HEI. All of the above is followed and pursued by all
stakeholders with faith, hope and trust in God and in keeping with the
principles of Truth, Service and Integrity. Faculty and Management at SDAM
College believe that their true role is the transformation of raw human
resource into educated, professionally skilled and socially responsible
citizens who are the true wealth of the nation. |
