Nodal Resource Center

Concept:

Government Degree Colleges are spread across the state in all the districts. Most of them are located in rural and semi urban areas. They mostly serve students from poor and underprivileged sections of the society. The students of colleges located in rural areas face disadvantages like infrastructural and teacher shortages, lack of exposure to modern educational atmosphere and inadequate background support. They need additional support. Although each district has about 8 to 12 Government Degree Colleges and they are working as total individual entities so far. Pooling and sharing of resources will benefit students of all colleges’ especially rural colleges. The Government Degree Colleges in each district, therefore, were networked with a select government college in the district, called the Nodal Resource Centre (NRC). Year long activities are planned and implemented by the colleges of the district under the NRC for the benefit of students in the subject and general areas. The NRCs are expected to tentatively compensate some of the disadvantages faced by the students of all colleges, especially the rural colleges.

Objectives:

1. Identifying the subject and student needs and shortages
2. Pooling and sharing the resources for the benefit of all students, especially the rural students
3. District-level crash programmes, seminars, workshops etc. for the teachers for improving their awareness and skills in teaching
4. A variety of district-level regular programmes ,workshops and summer programmes for students from all the colleges of the district, in areas such as subjects, skills, career, employment etc
5. Strengthening the existing infrastructural, material and human resources
