Best Practices & Future Plan
Objectives of the Practice
The Practice:
At the initial stage, we discuss among the faculties of the department regarding the topics of the open essay competition. This open essay competition is for all programs such as B. A., B.Sc. And B.Com. First, second and third-year students. As per as the topic is concerned, we give more stress on the problems regarding the youth in the present scenario. We also have another intention that students must aware of the social problems and they have an opportunity to find out solutions according to their level best. We announce the open essay competition with the prior permission of the head of the institution. And no such topic is selected which makes any controversial debate and opposition to the policies of the institution. Students have the choice to select one of the topics they have given then for judging criteria; we nominate three different faculties of the languages to judge in a proper way. The open essay competition helps them to participate in state, national-level competitions. Students are motivated with the help of such competitions.
Obstacles faced if any and strategies adopted to overcome them
In an open essay competition, there are no more obstacles found in conducting the competition. Still, ours is the newer practice and if in the future, we come across any obstacles we would like to overcome with discussing among the faculties of the department and with the discussion with the head of the institution.
Impact of the Practice
Resources Required
To organize an open essay competition, we require very few resources. First, we require faculties to nominate as examiners and in a higher education institute we are easily available with faculties belongs to the Department of Humanities. The second resource is a wide range of books and in every college the library facility is available. Now in the present scenario, there are E-resources available.
