Best Practices
Our college is known for transforming and empowering students who come from diverse backgrounds of Murshidabad district ranging from underprivileged sections to affluent ones. The college is committed not only to cultivating ethical thought among students; it also believes in pursuing, preserving, and promoting environment-friendly practices in every significant way.
Practices like in-depth learning, using various methods of power-point presentations to help them organize their thinking process and build professional skills, Through constructive feedback, open communication, inculcating a culture of critical thinking and holding an array of in-depth discussions, the college has managed to uplift its most underprivileged student to be more self-reliant, Indian citizen.
Non-conventional Energy
Subhas Chandra Bose Centenary College started its solar initializing by installing 1kW off-grid solar plant. The Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) system installed at the roof-top of our college. The prime objective is minimizing the use of conventional energy by generating energy through unconventional energy source. It also saves the money spent on electricity in our college. Uses of renewable energy in the form of installation of solar panel photovoltaic system result in the reduction of carbon footprint within the college premises and simultaneously reduce grid energy conservation. This solar system generates average 120 units per month which is not sufficient to run the institution. The solar based energy is used in mainly ITC room, when the ITC classroom remains closed the energy have been used for stuff room.
Solar Power Based ICT Class Room
The college has two separate fully furnished ICT enabled classrooms suitable for meetings, seminars, lecture-demonstrations and presentations. It is more an inclusive space for interactions and demonstrations. We have regular screenings, invited lecture-demonstrations and audio-visual presentations (faculty and students) and this new intervention has enhanced the learning abilities even for slow learners. Our future plan is to form collaborations with institutions for live interactions and escalate the potentials for excellence.
Vermicomposting Plant
Rotary drum composting is an efficient and promising technology compared to conventional outdoor technologies such as windrows and static piles, as it provides adequate agitation, aeration and proper compost mixing to produce consistent and uniform end product without any leachate-related problems.The Institution has taken up some crucial initiatives to maintain an environment friendly campus and critical thinking skills of the students in environmental education. Appropriate management of waste is crucial for the sustainable and eco-friendly college campus and environment responsible next generation.
Waste Segregation and Recycling
The Institution implements effective waste management through waste segregation and recycling of the waste. Students and faculties were also actively involved by knowing their perspective about the waste management techniques in the campus.
The Institution implements solid waste management by enforcing the waste segregation rules. Dustbins are placed in every floor, in front of laboratory, stuff room, and at different locations in the campus. Sweepers are allotted to each floor who manages all the waste generated in the campus. All waste/garbage from college campus are segregated at source and disposed of in the following manner.
Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has written to HRD Minister to consider the installation of sanitary napkin vending machines and incinerators within the premises of educational institutions across the country.Adhere to that guideline; our college has decided to set up the Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine at Girls Common room.
Sensor Based Class Room Automation
Lights and/ or fan in the classroom are not turned off in many times after using them that’s why a huge amount of electricity is consumed or getting into waste. In order to overcome this malpractice a sensor based classroom system has been mounted. Presently we installed PIR Motion sensor, Microwave sensor and Time-based switches to automatically Control them. PIR detects the human presence inside the classroom and switches ON only if there is any human inside the class.
Tree Plantation Programme and Gardening
We undertake plantations on regular basis. Our collegeorganizes world environment every year at the campus and the neighbor’s area, the faculty, the staff members andthe students participate in this „Vanamahotsav’ programme.
Subhas Chandra Bose Centenary College also takes pride in its horticultural garden. It boasts of the richest collection of flower and beautiful tree endowed. Apart from all these evident practices, student volunteers and teachers of the NSS club continually initiate cleanliness drive on and around the campus, thus sensitising the people about the importance of keeping our environment healthy.
Gender Sensitisation and Gender Equality
‘Pratayayee’ the women empowerment cell of Subhas Chandra Bose Centenary College has started its journey since 2016. This cell has some novel aims like to promote gender sensitivity and conduct various programmes to educate and sensitize the students. It also works to being out the strong personality among students to generate the courage within them. Apart from this it brings the rules and regulation regarding sexual harassment, domestic violence in front of them.
‘Pratayayee’ cell already achieved some remarkable tasks like spreading awareness related to health, teaching some earning oriented skills etc. This cell has the target to involve students with their activities through workshop, seminar, handicraft making, field survey, rally etc. In future pratayayee wants to organized workshops in handicrafts, skill development programme, yearly health check-up of the students etc.
