Govt. Arts College at a loss to accommodate more girl students Government Arts College, Coimbatore, is at crossroads, again.

Infusing in them a ‘we are no less' feeling

"Government Arts College students with a rural background undergo grooming session to be on a par with their urban counterparts"

Sisters M. Malarvizhi and M. Pradeepa from Puliampatti near Sathyamangalam are final-year students at Government Arts College, Coimbatore. They use the one-hour travel time from their village to the college practising conversational English. And, from the way they spoke to this reporter without letting Tamil words creep in, was a testimony to the fact that the practise is paying good dividends.

But the confidence to do this did not develop overnight or without help. It was nurtured with much effort and patience over a year at the ‘Soft Skills' Development and Placement Centre' of the college. And the confidence does not stop with merely speaking in English. It also extends to “deciding goals in life, widening the network of people, taking part in extra-curriculars, stabilising the emotional quotient, and overall becoming better human beings”.

And the person behind this transformation is the centre's co-ordinator P. Suguna, Assistant Professor in Mathematics, who has taken it upon herself to groom these students who come from an economically weak background and have completed schooling in the Tamil medium.

As many as 25 students from the second year are selected based on certain criteria from across disciplines and trained everyday throughout the academic year from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on communication skills, value education, developing creativity, grooming personality with respect to personal hygiene, social graces, etc.

Ms. Suguna handles the classes with occasional help from colleagues and visiting resource persons who train the students on a voluntary basis.

The centre, which began functioning in August 2010 has seen one set complete the training programme. But for these third-year students, only the classroom training has ended, the real-life practise and training continues unabated. Many of them today handle classes for the second batch.

The girls and boys said that they were totally different human beings from when they apprehensively stepped into the centre. The second batch vouches for those changes.

S. Vijayakumar, second year Chemistry student, said that his seniors who underwent the training in the centre were different persons – kind and polite human beings – from what they were before.

“They serve as the motivation for us and we can see in them what we can become a year from now. The moment we enter this classroom, we feel different. We are eager to speak in English and take part in any kind of activity that is planned for us by our co-ordinator,” he said.

Since the infrastructure and resource person could only take on 25 students, the number was limited. But for the centre's students there was no embargo in sharing what they learn. They go back to their respective classes and share whatever they learn in the centre.

According to Ms. Suguna, the centre had proved that it was not whether the institution is Government-run or private, but what it was able to give the students that mattered.

“These children come to study with great difficulty. Most of them get to eat only a single meal a day. They are working part-time jobs and studying in shifts. Even though their domain knowledge is good, they lose out on soft skills. This training has helped them gain confidence to take up better jobs or higher education with no fear about their capabilities,” she said.

And, that is how Malarvizhi, a chemistry student, has her sight set on an IIT professorship, and Pradeepa on becoming an IAS officer.

Government Arts College, Coimbatore, has been awarded the ‘A’ grade rating with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.49 out of 4 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in the recent re-accreditation process.

The grade is considered extraordinary on a national scale for a Government arts college.

According to NAAC Coordinator of the college O.B. Pramod Kumar, this is the third time the college had gone in for accreditation. Though the earlier rating was also an ‘A’ grade in 2006, the percentage it got in the earlier system was not very high. But this time, in the CGPA system, the point was very good.

“This is very high for a Government arts college. We were appreciated by the team on various counts as we were able to meet the criteria laid down by the NAAC peer team. As many as 149 faculty from among the 240 are doctorates. Women outnumber the men in faculty and also in the post-graduate courses,” said college principal V. Jothimani said.

The Tribal Museum, Soft Skills Development and Placement Centre, and the Higher Studies Centre for offering free coaching to civil service aspirants that the college operates with the Coimbatore Corporation under a Memorandum of Understanding, all went in its favour. It had got an award for good placements, and received acclaim for activities of its alumni associations.

Mr. Pramod Kumar added that some of the suggestions of the peer team included introducing two courses – MA (Political Science), and MA (Defence and Strategic Studies), as many students were inclined towards joining the uniform services and also because of the availability of defence personnel in the Army, Navy and Air Force in the vicinity, who could be used as resource persons.

There was a suggestion to set up a sports academy because of the excellence shown by the students of the college in sports. Setting up of a research academy to introduce research activity in all the basic subjects too was suggested.
