From Past to The Present

The 1940s were formative as well as very fragmenting years for India. Our struggle for independence had started taking not only the final shape but was moving towards a beautiful culmination. This was accompanied by the formation of several governmental and constitutional bodies on one hand and the ill-fated and illogical efforts of dividing the nation on the other. The cracking of India into two distinctive nations was accompanied with trauma and tragedy and in those years when people were facing communal frenzy and were crossing the borders Syed Tafazzul Karim, with a small group of family and friends, was thinking about sowing the seeds of nation and community building. During the horrible years of the 1940s and 1950s when the holocaust of partition was hovering over India and the educated and capable Muslim gentry was migrating to the other side of the border in search of greener pastures, Syed Tafazzul Karim, with his small resources, was lighting the lamp of education for the educationally deprived and weaker section of the society especially the Muslims. He started with the establishment of Schools in 1946 and his efforts for the establishment of a college gave fruit in 1961 with the establishment of Karim City College.

Karim City College, located in the heart of the lush and well-planned city of Jamshedpur, is a Muslim Minority Institution run and managed by Karim’s Trust, Jamshedpur, with permanent affiliation to Kolhan University, Chaibasa. Conceived and founded by Late Syed Tafazzul Karim, a socialist and visionary at heart, in the decades immediately succeeding India’s independence with the intention of promoting culture and education among the weaker sections of the city’s industrial populace, particularly its Muslim society, the college came into existence with pre-university courses as part of its curriculum. The response to the educational manifesto of the institution in those early years of its establishment, being highly encouraging, degree courses were launched in the college in the year 1963. With the sad demise of its founder in 1964, the institution was patronized by his son Late S. M. Shafiq under whose able steering, the institution achieved important milestones. With affiliation being acquired in 1965 from Ranchi University for its degree courses of Arts and Commerce, the college made its formal entry into higher education, ushering in a span of sustained and motivated progress, accelerated by the establishment of its Faculty of Science in the year 1978. The institution overcame the setback caused by the passing away of its patron S. M. Shafiq in the year 1992 with the taking up of the mantle of leadership by his son Mr. Syed Ashfaq Karim. Since then, there has been no looking back and the institution has confidently surged ahead in its quest for excellence, continuing to champion through its tireless efforts, its Founder’s vision of education for empowerment, for self-sufficiency and for social change.

In the last few years the institution has witnessed a steady course of progress, expansion and accomplishment with the accordance of permanent affiliation to its various traditional courses and with the launch of vocational courses. In the year 2004 the college went for its first assessment by NAAC and was awarded a grade of B+. In the year 2010, the college was accorded CPE status by the UGC under its XIth Plan in acknowledgment of its steady academic performance and strengthening infrastructural facilities. The institution, over the years, has been persistent in its efforts to improve and upgrade itself in accordance with the changing needs, patterns, and parameters of higher education. Evolving innovative educational and managerial paradigms, making bold decisions, and pursuing challenging goals, the college went for its second and third cycle of NAAC accreditation in the years 2012 and 2018 and was awarded B++ and B+ grades respectively. In the year 2013, the institution inaugurated a new state-of-the-art campus at Mango to which its Faculty of Education and intermediate courses were shifted with a view to make use of a well-planned, more spacious campus and better infrastructural facilities.

Committed to promoting quality education aligned to life’s intellectual and vocational needs and to the changing needs of the society and nation, the college today has carved a respectable niche for itself in the city’s educational landscape and within its socio-cultural fabric. Today, it boasts strength of more than five thousand students in its various under-graduate and post-graduate courses and has received recognition, local, regional, and national, for its skilled academic faculty and its competent administrative staff. The college hopes in the years to come, to branch out into full-fledged postgraduate teaching and to take up research functions in keeping ideological pace with the academic demands of higher education. Strongly inclined to the belief that education is holistic and multi-faceted, the college has zealously and consistently promoted co-curricular activities, unleashing and generating talent in fields as diverse from creative writing to dramatics and from fine arts to sports. Students of the college have made their mark in life not only as competent job-seekers and empowered wage-earners but also as creative, mature and responsible individuals who have been trained and encouraged to make a difference wherever they are.

In an attempt to engender and nurture within its students a strong all around personality, creativity, sense of civic responsibility and social consciousness, the college offers consistent encouragement to active engagement in varied activities through its various student wings such as SPArC, NSS, NCC, and Rotaract Club. Equality, Equity and Respect being watchwords of the institution’s culture, the campus boasts of amity and harmony between men and women, between students and teachers, and between its teaching and non-teaching staff members. In the college campus, discipline constitutes an important institutional concern and the institution’s regulations, therefore, offer strict provisions for instilling and maintaining discipline among the students. Strictly enforced norms of behavior in the campus, adherence to a college uniform, regular patrolling by teachers, the existence of a Discipline Committee, an Anti-Ragging Cell, a Women’s Cell and a Grievance Redressal Cell constitute, among others, important means of maintaining the sanctity and sanity of the campus for educational purposes. The college realizes that the character of its students constitutes a prime parameter for the evaluation of its success or failure as an educational institution and hence, focus on character-building through teaching and co-curricular activities has always occupied an important place in its agenda. Today, the institution is proud to have its alumni disseminated across all parts of the country, rendering their services to society in various professional capacities, and to have them look back upon their alma mater with gratitude and affection.

Though the College intends to work for the educational betterment of the weaker section of the society especially Muslims, its doors are open for everyone without any consideration of region, religion, caste, color or creed. The College, at present, is catering more than 5000 students at UG and PG level. Apart from running the traditional B.A., B.Sc., B.Com. courses under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme of NEP 2020 and Post-Graduation in Mathematics, Chemistry, Commerce, Psychology, English and Urdu, the college also offers Vocational UG Degree in Mass Communication, Computer Applications, Information Technology and Vocational (Self-financed) P.G. Degree in Mass Communication. From 2023-2024 the college launched B. B. A and a one-year PG Diploma in Guidance and Counselling. From the academic session 2024-25 the college intends to offer M. A. in Political Science. The College also offers B.Ed. under its Faculty of Education. In an effort to provide an opportunity of dual degree to its students the College offers nine Add-on (Vocational) Courses for students pursuing traditional UG Courses. The College runs a plethora of courses through its Centre for Distance Education which hosts Study Centres of IGNOU and Maulana Azad National Urdu University.

The College is committed to the cause of education and strives to inculcate good academic and human values among the students. It undertakes a large number of co-curricular, extracurricular and extension activities in order to ensure the holistic growth of students towards mature individuals, responsible citizens and empathic human beings.

Vision & Mission

 

Vision

 

The 1940s were formative as well as very fragmenting years for India. Our struggle for independence had started taking not only the final shape but was moving towards a beautiful culmination. This was accompanied by the formation of several governmental and constitutional bodies on the one hand and the ill-fated efforts of dividing the nation on the other. The cracking of India into two distinctive nations was accompanied with trauma and tragedy.

In those years when people were facing communal frenzy and were crossing borders, our founder Syed Tafazzul Karim, along with a small group of family and friends, envisioned to uplift his community with the help of education. Our founder, a great admirer and supporter of the 19th century reformer Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, visualised to sow the seeds of national service through community building. During the difficult years of the 1940s and 1950s, when the holocaust of partition was hovering over India and the educated and capable Muslim gentry was migrating to the other side of the border in search of greener pastures, Syed Tafazzul Karim, with his small resources, was lighting the lamp of education for the educationally deprived and weaker sections of the society especially the Muslims. He started with the establishment of schools in 1946 and his efforts for the establishment of a college bore fruits in 1961 with the establishment of Karim City College.

Hence the college envisions to bring the youth of the Muslim community,  but without any discrimination of religion, region, caste, colour or creed, to the main stream of higher education and to preserve the religious, cultural and linguistic identity of the community, with the best intention of inculcating in them the idea of mutual trust, a sense of reciprocal honour and respect irrespective of caste, colour or sex, dedication towards academic and financial development, character building, respect for ethics and moral values, love for other communities and the nation, and discipline in every sphere of life for the harmonious union of life, knowledge and work. To inculcate love that binds one to other and to Allah.

Mission

Our visionary founder Syed Tafazzul Karim established the institution with a mission to impart quality education and to provide better opportunities of higher education to the weaker sections of the society particularly to the Muslim minority. Hence, all our efforts are targeted towards the attainment of this basic goal. The modern world and its challenges demand a constant renewal, a fresh approach and a process of change and adaption. The college is open to changes, innovations and improvisations. We are determined to acquire and provide the best in the field of higher education. Service towards self-fulfillment of our stakeholders is our constant goal. We are striving for the personal growth and leadership skills of our students empowering them to become responsible and cosmopolitan. Building relationships, developing integrity and accountability, creating a sense of respect, service and fellow feeling and inculcating the rich cultural ethos of India is our aim. We are constantly trying to create a modern, peaceful, progress oriented and knowledge-based institution with an emphasis upon research, innovation, production and not a sheer consumerist behaviour. We are constantly trying to create a great sense of understanding among our students with regard to India’s plurality of religion and composite culture. We take the above and the following as our mission:

  • Empowering Muslims and other educationally weaker sections by providing an educational experience that will equip them with knowledge, skills, and confidence to become future leaders and catalysts for positive change in their communities and the world at large.
  • To foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment that respects and celebrates diversity, embracing different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives as invaluable assets to the educational journey.

20 YEAR PERSPECTIVE PLAN & ITS DEPLOYMENT

With Effect From 2015-16

 

Proposed Relocation of the College

In the light of the forthcoming expansion plan of Tata Steel many buildings, organisations and educational institutions in the close vicinity of Tata Steel are facing a relocation. In such case it is pertinent on the part of the college to gear itself for the shifting. The parent body of the college i.e. Karim’s Trust Jamshedpur is taking up the task of negotiating with the concerned authorities viz the State Government (through The District administration) and Tata Steel for suitable and sufficient allocation of land and its required paraphernalia. Once this is finalised the college authorities will take up the task of shifting in a planned and phased manner.

The college management hopes to get a good quality of land after the successful completion of talks in relation to proposed shifting. In that case the college authorities plan to create separate blocks for academic and administrative purposes, a state-of-the-art library premises with more space for reading room, virtual library and net surfing centre, an auditorium to accommodate 1000 seats, a separate student activity centre, play grounds and sufficient parking spaces.

 

AUTONOMY, DEEMED TO BE A UNIVERSITY STATUS AND FINALLY A STATE MINORITY UNIVERSITY

The status of an autonomous college is going to be a cherished goal of our parent body i.e. Karim’s Trust Jamshedpur, our college Governing Body and all the people associated with the college. A Steering Committee under the Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the college will look after the achievement of this goal.

Once this is achieved the deemed to be university status and finally a state minority university status will be our next target which the college authorities would like to achieve well in time. This journey towards the status of a government aided minority university will be a dream fulfillment for us and will be a boon for educationally backward classes especially the Muslim minority.

To achieve the targets of autonomy, a deemed to be a university and then of a minority university, the parent trust and the Governing Body of the present college have to take up a plethora of plannings and initiatives related to the acquisition of land, generation of resources, construction of buildings including hostel, creation of new departments, introduction of new courses, sanctioning of new posts by the state government, appointment of teaching and non-teaching staff etc. Once the status of minority university is achieved following will be some among many of the tasks which the management will take up in a phased manner and with the help of available human and strategic resources.
