6.1.2 The institution practices decentralization and participative management

 

The institution practices decentralization and participatory management in keeping with its belief in collective leadership and democratic traditions. General organizational structures consist of NCTE, Higher education policy, University, Management committee, Principal, Faculties, student teachers, administrative faculties, committee and cell co-coordinators and executive members. Principal is the head of the institution. For the smooth conduction of co-curricular and curricular activities and administrative works, our Principal decentralizes powers and functions to teaching as well as nonteaching staff. The administration responsibilities have been well segregated among the faculty members and non-teaching staff. Staff council decisions are based on students needs. The functions of the institution are carried out by the head of the institution through a series of committees and clubs. The teacher educators assign various committees among student teachers for the performance of the same. Various committees like PTA, discipline etc are formed. Class charges are given to teachers and teachers divide duties among students.  The college has an student union that is proactive in bringing the student issues to the concerned authorities and assists in bridging the gap between the administration and the students. The students union and student participation in various clubs ensure decentralization. There are nearly 10 committees which undertake various college activities and tasks which make the governance of the college decentralized. Also, the staff association is consulted for making important decisions pertaining to the college. The college also has 6 cells actively involved in several programs. It is ensured that there is all round participation of students and leadership and organizational activities are encouraged in the societies by giving them formal responsibilities. Faculty members are responsible for supervising and managing the routine activities of these bodies.  The above enumeration of features comprising participatory management points fairly conclusively to the ethics of decentralization which is integral to the institution and informs its functioning at every level.
