After going through a series of brainstorming sessions, the participants became quite enthusiastic about the NAAC accreditation process. They also filled up the letter of intention (LOI) and eligibility forms and submitted the same to the core committee for verification.
Kumar, however, feels that colleges need not volunteer for NAAC accreditation until they prepare themselves well, otherwise they may be awarded poor grade. Colleges must have all the basic amenities of classrooms, laboratories, libraries, sports and games, computers, internet and sanitation, besides holding seminars and conferences at regular intervals. Colleges must also develop eco-friendly systems and establish a closer interaction with the community, he adds.
The core committee, at its meeting held at Raj Bhawan on Saturday, decided to organise a day-long workshop for the principals and coordinators of 75 selected colleges from eight universities here on November 27.
