He started the “Al-Ameen Movement” in the year 1966 and today, after 45 years, it has become a massive umbrella covering education, health and banking sectors. Though he is a medical doctor by profession, he carries with him the Vision and Mission to make education as the instrument of socio-economic progress and growth for the upliftment of the marginalized sections of the society. He is regarded as the “Father of Education’ in south India. Today, Al-Ameen Movement has to its credit One Hundred and Seventy (170) Educational Institutions from primary level to higher education with research facilities spread all over India, but primarily concentrated in the state of Karnataka. He started his campaign to promote educational facilities with zero finances and has succeeded through philanthropic contributions to muster the strength of Al-Ameen Institutions as one of the brands in the educational circles of India and precisely Karnataka. He was very much associated and supported by a team of devoted social workers, businessmen and luminaries in the field of education. Always positive in his approach, realistic in his attitude and secular in outlook, he never compromised with negatives of individuals and groups and never looked back in spite of heavy odds. Therefore, he is recognized as one of the legends in the social activism of Indian Society at large. A person of high integrity, he never relished publicity but kept his movement floating in a silent manner. The educational society of India was rightly justified to shower on him the Pro-chancellorship of the great Aligarh Muslim University, a coveted post awarded to people of excellence and dedication in the cause of education of masses. He has to his credit, achievements and awards which he duly deserves. Being a recipient of many awards at State and National level his services to the Indian masses deserve to be written in golden words in the Indian history for many centuries to come. The products of Al-Ameen Movement today are proud to call themselves as “AlAmeenians” as a brand in Indian sphere of education for which the credit goes to this great son of India, Dr. Mumtaz Ahmed Khan. Let his efforts be an example for generations of youth to serve the community as “Service to Humanity is service to God”.

What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level? At the college level the mechanism for redressal is quite simple. The concerned HOD and the examiner/evaluator address the issue, when a student appeals about an issue pertaining to evaluation. At the university level the issue is taken up by the college examination section when an aggrieved student approaches. A written application is forwarded to the registrar about the issue, which is followed until it is redressed. Redressal of Evaluation Related Grievances The college has constituted the following committees: Al Ameen Arts, Science and Commerce College, Bangalore Page 43 Al Ameen Movement – Service to Society through Excellence in Education • Grievance Committee The Grievance Committee deals with students who are not satisfied with the assessment of their SEE answer books. Firstly, the student has to apply for verification of the answer book. Verification is done in the presence of the student, subject teacher and Principal/Vice-Principal/Senior teacher. If the student is not satisfied with the assessment then he/she can apply to the committee expressing the grievance and reason for dissatisfaction. If the Principal is convinced of the complaint being genuine then he allows the reassessment of the answer book. • The College Unfair Means Inquiry Committee (CUMIC) This committee investigates into cases of unfair means and malpractices adopted by students during the SEE. The procedures adopted for investigating cases of unfair means is as follows: The candidate is served a notice and made aware of the charges/allegations reported against him/her so as to enable him to prepare in advance his/her defense before the committee. He/she is informed of the proposed action to be taken against him/her and is allowed to express his/her point of view in defense. The Principal has to exercise his powers and issue the final order. The quantum of punishment varies according to the nature and severity of the grievance and may vary from case to case. A similar procedure is followed by Bangalore University. 2.6. Student performance and Learning Outcomes 2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’ give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength: • • • • • Qualified,trained ,commited and experienced faculty. Students from diverse background. Freedom to carryout academic and extra curricular activities. Availability of good infrastructure. Less strength provides class room teaching more interactive. • • • Weakness: Declining strength of the students. Need more combinations with sociology Need for a vocational course with Sociology as an accompanied discipline. Opportunities: Al Ameen Arts, Science and Commerce College, Bangalore Page 175 Al Ameen Movement – Service to Society through Excellence in Education • • • Introduction of more self development programmes in the department offers more scope for the improvement student strength in Sociology. New curriculum and method of assessment offers more scope for students involvement in the subject. Scope for providing more hands on experience to the students. Challenges: Need to vocationalise the discipline in the changed globalised scenario. • Need to update curriculum on par with global standards. • Arrival of the private and foreign universities can be big challenge for these courses • Future Plan: • To have a centre for social action • To involve students in extension activities. • To conduct more programmes to create social awareness. • To translate Sociology into action.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength • • • • • • The infrastructure of the Department provides ample space to the students community in their growth. The experienced and senior faculties of the department provide the fullest strength the students. The regular skill oriented lectures by learned scholars enlighten the students to a large scale. Support of the management in all the activities of the department is the biggest strength. Students of our department excel in sports activities at state and national level. Outgoing students opt job and majority of them are placed. Weakness • • • • • • The infrastructure of the college is not fully utilized Majority of the students are from weaker section of the society. For parents-teachers meeting many parents does not attend because many among them are working class people and are reluctant to daily earnings. Inspire of having value added courses, students do not join due to their poor financial conditions. Majority of the students are working part time in Malls, Showrooms, exhibitions and stalls. Percentage of students opting to do higher education is less. Opportunities • • • • • Opportunity for development and growth is at large Students have opportunity to undergo training in skill development and personality development activities. College provides ambiance to increase the talent in various curriculum and extra curriculum activities. Campus interview by MNC’s and other sectors provide opportunity for employment. Students have opportunity to do UG and PG courses under the same Institution. Challenges • • Many upcoming colleges near our institutions are a threat. Now a days, students are more attracted to the job oriented courses and the interest towards traditional courses are declining in general.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths: • Good faculty • Well equipped Laboratory. Weaknesses: • Number of students is poor. • Preference for technical and other courses drives away the front rankers. Students opting for general degree courses are not only economically challenged but also less meritorious. Opportunities: • Al-Ameen Campus houses institutions which cater from Kindergarten to Research. • Students are encouraged to take up higher studies and along with that necessary help is provided for taking civil/administrative services. Challenges: • Struggling to motivate students to take up biological sciences and increase the strength of the department. Future Plans: • To increase strength of students.
