Extension Services

University Education Commission highlighted the three functions of Higher Education Institutions, which include teaching, research and extension. To fulfill the obligation of extension, the College has introduced services such as community service and enrichment programmes for teachers.

Community Service

Schools and colleges functioning in the society should be accessible and available to the local community. Occasionally, the College takes up road construction works, hospital cleaning, house repairs etc. according to the demand.

Enrichment Programmes for Teachers

The College will organize Seminars and Workshops in collaboration with the U.G.C. and the University.

Planning for Teaching

MT technique does help to develop skills in teaching but the actual classroom experience shows that a holistic approach in teaching is necessary. View the lesson as a whole rather than a bundle of skills. Construct a schema for the analysis of the lesson giving prominence to how they present the lesson, develop the topic and organize the lesson to suit to the children of varying abilities and apply the appropriate instructional strategies to lead the children to find out for themselves the ‘new’ knowledge. Here, their learning of pedagogical analysis, modern instructional strategies and the various theories and principles they have studied would help them for effective teaching.
