5 Year Plan 2020-25

5 Year Plan 2015-20

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.
