SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strengths:
The department is staffed with a well-qualified, experienced and dedicated
faculty. The faculty is actively involved in research and undertake projects. The
department has well-equipped laboratories which facilitates research endeavours.
Classrooms are also well equipped and ICT enabled .The Faculty’s proficiency in
the use of ICT allows for effective teaching and learning. The department also has
a recognised research center with JRFs and research scholars. Our greatest
strength is the quality of students admitted into the department who show
potential for growth.
Weaknesses:
Our greatest weakness is the availability of few deficit sanctioned posts for
faculty. The department also lags behind other departments in terms of
involvement in extension and outreach programmes. The department currently
offers no consultancy services.
Opportunities:
34.
The department envisions a greater expansion of research activities and
publications. At the same times the department also aspires to open Ph.D.
programmes in collaboration with neighbouring and affiliating universities. The
department appreciates its role and opportunity to contribute to the existing body
of knowledge in the subject and industry and to provide consultancy services and
training to personnel in biochemical and biomedical laboratories.
Challenges:
With the availability of resources the department is challenged to optimally
utilize infrastructure and facilities for research activities, publications and Ph.D
programmes. The department is motivated to utilize the expertise of the faculty
into improving upon existing technologies in agriculture and biochemical
sciences. The department also aims to bridge the gap between the pursuit of
excellence in academics and its larger role of serving society by way of its
involvement in extension and outreach programmes.
Future Plans
The immediate future plan is to enhance the research activities and publications
in peer-review journals. The department also envisions maintaining a database of
medicinal plants and novel metabolites that they produce.

The department intends to constitute an external advisory board which
will be composed of alumni and friends from the industry which will help
elevate the horizons of the department.
The department also plans to start producing an annual report which will
highlight achievements, failures and remedial measures to be taken and
this will then be distributed to the advisory board and stakeholders.
Greater contribution to the subject in terms of publications and research
activities.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strengths:
The department is staffed with a well-qualified, experienced and dedicated
faculty. The strength of the department is the vast experience that its faculty has
garnered. The botanical garden which the department maintains is a continuing
asset and allows quick access to conditions otherwise difficult to duplicate in the
laboratory. The younger members of the faculty are enthusiastic, eager and very
energetic.
Weaknesses:
The department is constrained for lack of space especially during practical
classes. The botanical garden is also not optimally used by the department. The
department currently offers no consultancy services.
Opportunities:
The department envisions a greater expansion of research activities and
publications. At the same times the department also aspires to introduce short term
courses for all who are interested in areas such as Tissue Culture in collaboration
with sister departments and neighbouring institutions.
Challenges:
The department faces the challenges of upgrading the current syllabus to
keep in step with the changing needs of industry, agriculture and society. Other
challenges also include the optimal utilization of all facilities available so as to
fully realize that potential of the department. Keeping this in mind future
challenges include the adaptation and innovation of ideas that can be applied in
areas of agriculture and industry
Future Plans
Future plans include starting a Post-graduate course, improving reach out
programmes and involvement in community oriented programmes.

Participation in Institutional Social
Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities.
“Minnova”, the Students’
Club, started the project
“Hands of Hope” to provide
assistance to the underprivileged section of the
society (Students of the
department donated
computers to the Orphanage
at Sahsniang, Jaintia Hills)
Students undergo
sensitization programmes by
visiting Old age homes,
Orphanages and School for
children with special needs.
SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The programme is considered as an innovative project of the college and
the first of its kind to be started under North Eastern Hill University
(NEHU).
The course has been started as an answer to the acutely felt need of the
educational scenario of the North-Eastern region and it has been tailored
along the patterns followed by some of the best management institutes in
the country.
The young and vibrant faculty of the department. It is also the only
department under NEHU for this course where there is no dearth of
faculty for every paper offered.
The department is conscious and aware of social problems and impending
dilemmas faced by the community within the city. To this, it has designed
project assignments that will sensitize the department’s students as well as
raise consciousness amongst the public at large.
Weakness:
The course is affiliated to the university, thus desired changes to the
curriculum cannot be effected without the approval of the affiliating
university.
The library and reference resources need to be strengthened.
Opportunities:
Apart from pursuing a career in the main stream professional courses, the
department offers a viable option to the aspirations of the young people of
North-East India.
The department can address the potentials that are present in this region in
terms of “Eco and adventure tourism” and “bio-prospecting”.
Challenges:
Adequate space in terms of students’ seminar hall and department staff
room is a constraint.
Providing and equipping the students with the relevant and up-to-date
knowledge is another challenge since the curriculum designing and
acceptance is dependent on the affiliating university. Despite this
drawback, the department tries its level best to expose the students to
St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, NAAC–Cycle 3:2013
E:30
Evaluative Reports of the Departments
subjects and topics through guest lectures, seminars and relevant
workshops.
Because of the geographical location of the college, students are not
adequately exposed to the industry. However, this is usually compensated
through project works, assignments and field trips to locally available
business organizations.
Future Plans
The department wishes to embark on a major project to sensitize the youth
about the various social issues and dilemmas with the hope that they
would be socially aware and responsive while pursuing their cognitive
development and economic aspirations.
The department is seriously considering the starting of a business
incubation cell where its students and other interested individuals and
parties can be equipped with requisite skills and information to pursue
entrepreneurial activities. Some of the thrust areas would be in the field of
tourism and bio-diversity.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The department is well equipped for conducting practicals and research.
Since the department has very strong networking with Institutions and
Industries organization of workshops/ seminars/ conferences is convenient.
Weakness:
The department has not been actively involved in extension activities.
Opportunities:
Since the department has signed Memorandum of Understanding with
University of Mumbai opportunities to expand our horizons has increased.
The department is also involved in exchange programmes with other
institutions.
Challenges:
Challenges on improving research activities and extension activities
need effort in order to realise the full potential of the department.
Future Plans
The department aims to have a workshop on glass blowing and nanochemistry sometime in the immediate future.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
34.
Strength:
Healthy Teacher-Student relationship
Strong network with the management and other Departments in the
college, and the parent Department in the University.
Students of the department are actively involved in co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities.
Strong faculty who are conversant with the latest teaching
technologies.
The department attracts best talents from the region which in-turn
stimulate a congenial academic environment.
Weakness:
The Teacher-student ratio is imbalanced.
Limited opportunity to change curriculum
Opportunities:
To adapt curricula so as to enable students to be equipped to
successfully deal with requirements of modern industrial and service
sectors.
To enhance our capabilities through regular participation in various
academic events.
Challenges:
Our primary challenge as a department is to incorporate changes in
our curriculum and teaching approaches that reflect the needs of an
ever changing society and industry.
With this view it becomes imperative for our department to
investigate new ways to impart skills to our students making them
readily employable.

Evaluative Reports of the Departments
The students’ projects discussed and allowed to match up to the current
trends. They are analysed, studied and executed under individual guideship
from the department.
Curriculum development and update is in consultation with prominent
academic institutes and universities and industry requirements.
The Department uses ICT facilities extensively. AV tutorials, spoken tutorials
and presentations are used by faculty.
Stress is given to community service and awareness. The Cyber Club reach
programs instil in the students a spirit of social commitment.
The department aims at the holistic development of the student, aiming
spiritual, emotional, social and intellectual aspects in of the person.
Weakness
The lack of industry interaction and presence is a serious setback to our
students
Limitations in space lead to infrastructural constraints.
The lack of on-campus placement chances.
Opportunity
We see the chance of signing MOU with leading universities and industry for
courses and research collaboration.
Organizing International and National seminars for exchanges enrich faculty
and students.
We plant to enter into more consultancy service in technology with other
bodies.
The plan to start new and employment generating courses and certifications.
Need to add more faculty and resources to see cater to current trends and
courses.
Challenges
To dedicated time and resources for research related works by the faculty and
students.
To be innovative in mould the students for the industry and research needs.
Not having enough representations in the PG Board of studies of the
affiliating university.
Future Plans:
To begin a full time research section in IT related technologies.
To further enhance Institutional Community Service to villages through ICT
and Cyber club activities bridging the digital divide.
To procure a Mobile IT bus to cater to the villages in the State through IT
classes.
To explore more exchange options with other academic and industrial
organizations through MOUs and collaborative works.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The varied specializations of the faculty of the department allows it to
cover different aspects of the syllabi in an intensive and detailed manner. The
unity and camaraderie among members of the faculty allow the department to
carry out its different tasks and assignments in a smooth and efficient way.
Weakness:
The department has not been able to utilize the research grants available
from different sponsoring agencies for the faculty and students and therefore
is unable to publish research articles in high impact journals.
Opportunities:
1. To reorient the courses and curricula and to train students to adapt to
34.
advances, changes and requirements of modern industrial and service sectors.
2. To carry out collaborative research works involving students, with
agencies of national and international repute.
3. To enhance our capabilities through regular participation in various
academic events.
Challenges:
Our primary challenge as a department is to incorporate changes in our
curriculum and teaching approaches that reflect the needs of an ever changing
society and industry.
With this view it becomes imperative for our department to investigate new
ways to impart skills to our students making them readily employable.
Future Plans
The department plans to start Post Graduate programme in the future.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The department has qualified people as its faculty who are dedicated and sincere
in the discharge of their duties. They have always performed above and beyond
the call of duty. The department boasts of a very close-knit relationship and a
warm and endearing spirit of camaraderie. The faculties are willing to jump in
time of need and assist each other in whatever possible. This makes for a very
pleasant working atmosphere in the department. The faculties are also
resourceful and reliable and on many occasions have contributed much to the
department in particular and to the college in general over the past many years.
34.
Weakness:
The number of students per class that the department caters to is too large. This
severely undermines the effectiveness of the faculty to provide quality lectures
and classroom interactions to the students. The department has a very small
room as its departmental staff room, which has made preparing for classes and
working on other departmental activities difficult. The shortage of time for
preparing lectures and for completing of the syllabus is another weak area for
the department. The honours students of the department are severely
handicapped by the very limited choice of elective subjects offered to them.
Opportunities:
The department has ample scope for inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary
academic projects.
The department can also provide students with guidance to prepare for
competitive exams.
There is also scope for innovation in the teaching learning process.
Challenges:
The department has no free hand in framing the syllabus as per the current need
of the students.
There is a great lack of research facilities.
There are too many non-academic activities disrupting effective academic
exercises.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The Department has its own dedicated block with four class rooms
equipped with ICTs, two labs, one seminar cum museum room and one
research lab. It also has a full-fledged fish hatchery complex with Chinese eco
hatchery for carps, flow through system for magur and six ponds. The subject
also allows for greater scope for employment in the state departments and
banks and for self-employment as well.
Weakness:
There is a felt need for more specialized teaching staff to handle other
branches of fisheries. The Department at present does not have a proper fish
farm. The Department is also concern about the lack of institute for higher
education (PG) in NE India which could hamper the upward mobility of the
students as far as their further studies in concerned.
Opportunities:
The students have plenty of job opportunities in different sectors after
they complete the course. The students can take up the subject as a vocation
and an entrepreneurship development project. The Department plans to change
the current programme to four years B. FSc course instead of three years. It is
also looking forward to launching a Master‟s Degree programme in the subject
and research oriented programme.
Challenges:
The development of fisheries in the hill state of Meghalaya leaves much room
for improvement. This can hamper the employability level of the students who
graduate from this programme.

activities.
SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The primary strength of the Department is the honesty and zeal of all the
four teaching staff members in imparting their knowledge and expertise to the
students. The staff spares no effort in doing their duties. They work hard to
create a friendly atmosphere in the classrooms so that learning in the department
is without any reservations turning each class into a joyous experience. No
barriers exist between students and teachers. In this regard, some students even
refer to the department as their „second home‟. The ability of the staff to
perceive and understand students and the conflicts they face in life – emotional,
financial, family relations, ability to cope up in studies, etc. – and singly or
jointly counsel(s) the student(s) is a great advantage. The results have always
been encouraging since the faculty is able to take appropriate steps to address
their problems. The sincere contribution of a good Lab Assistant helps make the
synergy in the department a winning combination.

Evaluative Reports of the Departments
Weaknesses:
The current number of faculty in the department is a cause of concern. In
the zeal to impart the basics of the subject, create a friendly atmosphere and
concern for the students coupled with the personal relationship with one and all,
the lack of more qualified personnel hampers the use of more creative means of
teaching in the classroom. Students approach to the study of the subject leaves
much room for improvement.
The number of days spent for field-work is inadequate considering the fact
that Geology is a field-based subject.
Opportunities:
The support and cooperation from the college authorities, morally and
financially, since the last few years have opened up new opportunities in the
department. Good (and expensive) books, used the world over, are slowly being
bought and made available; the departmental library is slowly enriched and is
make teaching and learning very convenient. Financial support from the
management to improve basic infrastructure in the department is appreciated;
financial support to increase the number of microscopes, rocks, minerals and
fossil specimens shall truly help one and all to learn and teach the subject.
Close relationships are slowly being built up with professional
geological institutions around Shillong – like GSI, AMD, NESAC, DMR,
Lafarge, etc – in the last few years. Various programs as guest lectures, short
training programs on mapping, remote sensing, disaster management, as well as
exhibitions are on the anvil.
Challenges:
Over the last few years the scope of Geology has tremendously
increased, since liberalization and globalization has led to a boom in the
economic growth of the nation in particular and the world as a whole. An
economic boom has also led to an increased demand for raw materials as ironore, tin, aluminum, gold, etc., besides more power and energy, especially hydroelectric power. Thus, the need for more earth materials, power, metals,
groundwater, hydrocarbons, etc., have put geologists in the forefront in the
search for and supply of increasing global demands and needs. Environmental
studies, such as global warming and pollution, are partly related to Geology
along with Chemistry and life sciences, and geologists have to play their part in
providing solutions to such problems.
The Department hopes to meet this challenge by grooming young
students who are well-equipped with the fundamentals of Geology to go for
higher studies in reputed universities so that in the long run they can meet the
growing demand for geologists who will in turn be able to meet the above
needs.

these organisations and have contributed
much to the community and society through
them.
SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The Department boasts of the presence of qualified personnel who can
also guide research scholars if the opportunity arises.
Weakness:
The Department requires more full-time faculty.With the present number
of faculty available, it has become difficult to conduct any curricular activities.
Secondly, the number of classes allotted to the Department is too few which
hampers the completion of the syllabus on time.
Opportunities:
The Department has immense potential to organize Seminars/Workshop/
Lectures. These programmes could be organized not only at the regional level
but even at National level also.
Challenges:
The Department is unable to organize more co-curricular activities due to the
lack of funds.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The department is the only one in the entire North East India to offer an undergraduate course in Mass Communication.
The department has a well-balanced faculty in terms of experience and areas of
specialization.
The faculty members share good rapport with other members within the
department and outside it.
The department also has well-equipped studios and production-quality
equipment.
The students come from diverse backgrounds which allows for a very healthy
exchange of ideas, concepts and attitudes.
Each student is given a lot of hands-on exposure to the equipment and is
expected to be proficient in their use.
Weakness:
34.
The department does not have a well-equipped film screening room which would
further enhance our ability to cater to the nedes of our students.
Opportunities:
The greatest opportunity is in terms of the growing local, national and international
media industry. Being a professional course our students are employable immediately
after graduation.
Challenges
Teaching new concepts to freshers who have had no previous exposure to the field of
media remain our biggest challenge.
With a constantly evolving media scene, new technologies being introduced and new
methods of producing media the department is challenged to keep abreast with these
changes.
Future Plans
Besides starting a post-graduate course in Journalism and Mass Communication, the
department also plans to re-introduce add-on courses in Video Editing and Sound
Editing in the near future. These add-on programmes will be open to all.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The Department have an excellent team of people who are sincere, dedicated and
knowledgeable about their subjects. The Department has a good interdepartmental
collaboration with other departments such as Commerce, Business Administration,
Bio-Chemistry, Bio-technology and Computer Science.
Weakness:
The departmental staff room does not have enough space to accommodate all six of
its faculty, the bookshelves and other furniture. The number of books in the library
is also insufficient to cater to the need of the students as well as the teachers. The
student-teacher ratio is heavily lopsided which invites induction of more teachers
into the department. The number of classes provided for the completion of the
Syllabi is also insufficient which forces the teachers to take extra classes every
year.
Opportunities:
If more teachers are inducted into the department then PG courses can be
introduced and this may help the department in future to open up avenue for
research facility. The department plans to start remedial classes, coaching for
various entrance examinations in the future.

Guest lectures, departmental debates and discussions
involving mizo students’ from other departments as well.
The students taking Mizo as MIL and Non-MIL Mizo
students collaborate and are actively involved in the
production of a monthly newsletter titled “The Anthonian
Times” which provides students with the opportunity to
express their creativity in writing and learn the language and
culture.
Through classroom discussions, question- answers
sessions, projects and assignments.

(ISR) and Extension activities.
SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The Department offers M.I.L only in 2nd year and 3rd year. Since Mizo is not
offered as an honors or elective subject, very few students are able to take up the
subject. However, due to the interest in the language and subject shown by
students of the Mizo Community, the Department has been able to organize
Guest lectures and departmental debates along with the Mizo students of other
streams and departments. It is the students’ enthusiasm in the language that has
greatly helped the department and the lone faculty in holding the programmes.
Weakness:
Since the department does not offer the subject either as an Elective or
Honors Course students who have often scored the highest marks in the
university examinations are deprived of the opportunity to pursue higher studies
at the University level. Since all the students taking the subject are primarily
students of other departments, it is difficult to hold seminars, lectures and

Evaluative Reports of the Departments
workshops even though there are resource persons available.
Opportunities:
There is a possibility of including MIZO as an MIL in the B.Com
Programme. This will open up opportunities and plans to hold more academic
programmes with the support of the College and students.
Challenges:
The fact that the Department does not have a full-fledged honours course
hampers efforts to develop the subject further and to engage in academic
exercises that could prove beneficial to the student community in particular and
the subject in general.

The department celebrated World Philosophy

Enhance critical thinking through various
departmental activities like group discussion,
debates

Participation in Institutional
Social Responsibility (ISR)
and Extension activities.
SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
Philosophy is becoming a popular subject because it is value-oriented, dealing
with both the materialistic and spiritualistic aspects of life. It helps in understanding
life in its totality, widens the vision and increases the level of understanding and
bring about integrity of life, society and world in the midst of diversity, chaos of
values and de-valuation of life.
Philosophy being the mother of all subjects, its practical implication due to its
reflective thinking, logical analysis, critical evaluation, understanding and synthesis
has caught the attention of recent scholars and educators in other fields too. This
has resulted in the inclusion of the subject in other important institutions like IIT,
NIIT etc..
As a result, the number of students applying for admission to the department has
seen an increase annually beyond the set quota of the college. This has inspired and
encouraged the faculties to hold more academic programmes in the future.
Weakness:
The Department is under-staffed while the number of papers included in the
34. syllabus is the same as all the other Departments in the College.
Opportunities:
Due to the increasing number of students in the Department, it now has much
scope to organize programmes and big events with their support as has been done
this year. Should the Department receive more financial support from the College,
many more programmes could be held in the years to come. The Department is also
looking forward to the possibility of starting Master’s Degree Programme so as to
be able to start various research projects.
Challenges:
The Department faces the challenge of instilling its students with good values for
the making of better citizens and a better society and state.

cooperation and understanding. Also the faculty members share a good rapport
with the students which augers well for all concerned. Also the Department has a
very good infrastructure in terms of library and laboratory facilities.
Weakness:
Lack of adequate Research related activities in the Department.
34. Opportunities:
Working environment in the college in general and the Department in
particular with available infrastructure. Also the students are well attended to.
Challenges:
Constraints of space, time and packed academic schedule the Department
finds it challenging to reach the desired level of Research activities. Involving

-
Strength:
It is a Department with a well-established history and credentials. The
Department over the years has produced some of the most prominent leaders of
the society in different fields of the State as well as the region. It also attracts
more students than any other departments of the social sciences. It has the
largest number of students among the various optional subjects offered in the
College. The students of this department constitute the largest number of
students who pursue their higher studies in the Department of Political Science,
NEHU. At the same time, a good number of students are also able to get
admission into the top universities of India like JNU, DU, Pondicherry
University, Hyderabad Central University and Law Colleges etc. The
Department has also attracted the attention of the students not only from the
state and region but also from the neighbouring countries.
34.
Weaknesses:
Compared to the number of students opting for this subject, the number of
teachers is at present inadequate. Therefore, the Department is not able to offer
many of the optional courses which otherwise should be available to the
students. The acute shortage of faculty and the existing rules and regulations act
as a deterrent to the teachers who are inclined towards taking up research
projects and other related activities.
Opportunities & Challenges:
The subject provides enough flexibility to the students to find placements
in different fields such as government employment, Law, research, think-tank,
teaching Politics etc.
The Department feels that the concern authority should sanction more
posts in the department so that it can also conduct short-term courses on Human
Rights, Parliamentary Practices, and Ethical Politics for serving the needs of
government employees, political leaders, and members of different NGOs etc.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan:
Strength:
The Department is actively involved in teaching and research.
Weakness:
34.
There is a lack of short term or applied oriented courses, which is
preferred by many for their scope for employment. The Department also
requires more computers for teaching and research purposes.
Opportunities:
The Department looks forward to starting the much-required short-term
courses as well as Post-Graduate courses on Applied Statistics along with
relevant computer applications.
Challenges:
The Department faces the need to fine-tune its teaching-learning process
to make its students more viable for higher studies or employment.

The Students Development Services [SDS] is an innovative initiative of St. Anthony’s
College. It was set up in 1995 under a project sponsored by the All India Association of
Christian Higher Education [AIACHE]. Its mandate was to provide personal, educational and
vocational guidance for the overall balanced development of the students of the college. It
has been active in imparting education related to alcoholism, drug abuse, HIV/AIDS and
conscientize the student community on these high risk areas that threatens society and
initiates preventive measures against them.
In addition, the cell also conducts coaching programmes for various competitive
examinations, organizes workshops on communication skills development and life skills
orientation programmes for the entire student community. It also arranges career talks and
career awareness programmes, which are aimed at students who are at the higher secondary
schools.

of pressures and strains on their persons, the institution decided to appoint a full time
qualified personal counsellor.
Infrastructure:
A single room with shelves and a small library has been set apart for personal
counselling sessions.

problems, peer pressure, self-esteem, self-development, personality development,
Grief and bereavement counselling, etc.
Psychosocial counselling such as adjustment difficulties, at risk behavior-suicidal,
addiction, aggressive behaviour etc. Counselling for clients going through depression,
anxiety, stress and trauma etc.
Academic counselling is made available to the student right from the process of
admission. A number of teachers sit at the help desk in order to guide the students into
different streams and subjects. The students who need further help are referred to the
placement officer. During the academic sessions the students can approach the
counsellor or placement officer for information and guidance for career development.
Services are also provided for students with difficulties in learning such as Dyslexia,
Slow learners etc. Students who have shortage of attendance and difficulties in their
academic performance are also send for counseling.
The process that is followed during the counselling sessions differs according to the
need of the client. However a standard clinical interview is taken in the initial sessions
which further helps in temporary diagnosis (According to DSM-IV-TR/ DSM-V) and
referrals.
