Maintenance of campus infrastructure

· Maintenance of the College Auditorium: The auditorium, equipped with smartboard facilities, also holds powerpoint-based lectures. A subcommittee constituting teaching and non-teaching staff of the College is entrusted with the upkeep and maintenance of the auditorium. The subcommittee manages the cleaning and dusting of the auditorium and regularly oversee the work of the cleaners by visiting the auditorium. A number of support staff looks after the maintanance and overseeing the acoustics, electrical connections and air-conditioning of the auditorium. The wi-fi connection of the auditorium is also checked regularly to ensure its connectivity and signal strength. For any kind of repair work, the Finance Committee of the College allocates a budget for it. The rent received from different organizations for their programmes in the auditorium is also used in the maintenance of the room.

· Laboratories: The College has quite a few lab-based subjects and each of these subjects have practicals as part of their compulsory course work. Each of the science departments are allocated funds (based on their student strength) at the beginning of the year to make their purchases. For other purchase, the departmental head proceeds with the matter and the College later reimburses it. The laboratories have special support staff appointed by the College and the maintenance of the Laboratory is one of their primary duties. The College also has a Computer Laboratory and is used by many departments. The Laboratory has a number of personal computer terminals with required software, as well as printing and photocopying facilities. The personnel in charge of the Computer Laboratory checks and supervises the software and hardware of each of the machines in the laboratory. The memory capacity and configuration of the machines are also upgraded from time to time. Any expenditure on this regard is first estimated and then forwarded to the Principal who disburses the money required.

· Classrooms: There are twelve classrooms in the first floor of the new building, including a smart-board enabled one. The later room is allotted to every department at least once a week to facilitate ICT enabled teaching. The Campus Development Subcommittee ensures the maintenance of the classrooms-the chairs, benches, tables and boards of all the classrooms as well as the lights and fans. Sweepers and cleaners are assigned to clean the classrooms everyday with care.

· Library: The library at Vidyasagar Metropolitan College is situated in the ground floor of the new building. Library staff perform the dusting and cleaning in the library. The library Committee meets regularly to discuss the various matters pertaining to the library. Heads of the departments and teachers are solicited to use College funds to order books to update the collection. Students are encouraged to use the library as an e-learning resource as well through the computer terminals there to access the net and enrich their research. The library also stocks e-journals and journals for students of all disciplines.
