History
Lakshmi Bai College for Women has a rich history of empowering women since its establishment in 1975. It is the first women’s college in Assam, established by the Assam Government to provide higher education opportunities for female students. Over the past 40 years, Lakshmi Bai College for Women has made immense progress and achieved many milestones. From a small institution with merely 75 students and 13 teachers, it has now grown into a reputed institution with over 4000 students and around 94 faculty members from different disciplines.
The college was renamed after Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi in recognition of her contribution to India’s struggle for independence. The original building, which is situated near National Highway 37, still stands tall and serves as an inspiration to upcoming generations of girls.
The college offers multidisciplinary academic programs such as Bachelors and Masters degrees in Arts, Sciences and Commerce as well as Technical Education (including diploma certificates) with focussed attention on curbing Gender Inequality by providing equal educational opportunities to women. Recently it was also given Autonomous status granting it complete autonomy over its courses and curriculum.
While undeterred commitment towards imparting quality education remains at the centre of all activities today at Lakshmi Bai College for Women, recent years have seen progressive changes that modernize the whole system while maintaining its traditional values intact; with schemes such as Skill Development Programs and International student exchange programs to name just two
Best Practices
- Establish clear goals: Establishing clear goals helps to streamline learning objectives and track progress. This can be done through consultation with faculty, analysing existing data, or conducting surveys.
- Set high-quality standards: Ensure that the curriculum, assessment methods and support systems meet satisfactory and acceptable levels of quality. Encourage students to adhere to the established standards in work ethics and presentation of work.
- Utilize effective technology: Take advantage of modern educational technologies such as automated grading, online lectures, virtual collaboration tools, specialized labs/simulations and other innovative solutions that could help enhance student engagement and provide a more interactive learning experience.
- Maintain open communication among stakeholders: Create shared spaces for collaboration between administrators, faculty members, students and other stakeholders involved in the college such as parents and alumni members — facilitate ongoing exchanges on college-wide issues like policies, budget issues etc.. Allowing stakeholders from all backgrounds to have a say will enable an open exchange of ideas which will ultimately benefit everyone involved in the educational institution.
- Monitor regularly for continuous improvement: Track student performance using data analytics tools to uncover issues quickly before they become unmanageable problems; keep constant tabs on areas where improvements can be made; evaluate academic programs regularly to identify opportunities for innovation or reinvigoration; design surveys that help gauge student satisfaction on instruction delivery etc., so as to create a continuously improving learning environment.
