Maintenance of campus Infrastructure

As befitting any HEI we at Vidyasagar Metropolitan College are committed to give our students a seamless teaching-learning environment. To this end the College campus needs to be maintained in a manner where the classrooms and other academic facilities are updated and upgraded at regular intervals.

Addressing the space constraints of our campus, the College authorities have long deliberated upon ways to optimize available space. Currently construction is underway in the terrace and the new wing will house laboratories and classrooms. We hope to overcome the space problem substantially through the addition of this new wing.

To streamline our technical operations 1 laptop has been added to the Principal’s office and 1 desktop for Tally Software has been added to the Accounts section.

ICT enabled teaching is an indispensable aspect of an HEI. Teachers in various departments are now using smart classrooms regularly and consistently in their lesson presentations. Power point presentations with audio-visual aids considerably streamline the quality of the lessons. A log book is maintained to keep track of the frequency with which ICT tools like whiteboards are used. Students are also encouraged to make ppt and other presentations using ICT tools as a part of their assignments/projects.

In pursuance of the objectives listed in 2018-’19 the College is implementing its plans to enhance infrastructural facilities for the students and stake holders.

The library is upgrading its journal collection to offer students a wide range of reading material for their opted courses as well as for reference. Each new academic session begins with a library orientation programme through which students are familiarized to the library as a learning resource. E- resources are also made available to students which they can access freely for reference while writing term papers, assignments etc. E-resources like INFLIBNET (provided by the library) are very popular with the teachers and students. The Library has a facility of e-requisition which makes procurement of printed as well as digital documents much more convenient. A feedback system has also operative and the library sub-committee meets regularly to deliberate on the feedback and tries to come up with strategies for making the library more user-friendly. Since the library’s in-house operations are automated and it is fully open-access, we are well on our way to make the library a digital-empowered learning space. In future the library intends to make available online CBCS-centric learning resources through a collaborative database. Webinars will also be organized.
