The Churachandpur Government College located at Hiangtam Lamka celebrated its accreditation as National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)'s B+ Grade with 2.61 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at the college multiple purpose hall on Tuesday.
The occasion was attended by the principal of the college Th Siamkhum and others, including the coordinator of its Internal Quality Assessment Cell (IQAC) of the college Pauchungnung Vaiphei and students.
The co-chairperson of the celebration Committee Lily L Tombing delivered a welcome speech followed by an invocation prayer by reverend Stephen Chinzathang, after which a core member of IQAC Bijumuon made a presentation to the special guest of the celebration.
The principal of the college in his speech said that the B+ grade was the highest rank in Manipur and it came with struggle and unity of all stakeholders. He said the Autonomous college status was their ultimate goal which was echoed by his vice principal madam Caroline Zothangmawi and other speakers. The coordinator of IQAC praised the efforts of the director (University and Higher Education) Dr Rangitabali Waikhom who helped them immensely to get the accreditation. They struggled when they started but with help from the director, their principal and others made it through, he said.
The NAAC was established in 1994 as an autonomous institution of UGC. NAAC accreditation means focusing on improving the quality parametre of education and for improving the overall development of students by helping them inculcate skills and knowledge through education unlike the traditional educational system. NAAC accreditation is a must for an institution that aims to maximise the student outcome by ensuring the best practices.
