16th Annual Report 2009-10 (NAAC)

Abstract

NAAC's vision and mission statements reflect quality as an internal mechanism driving continuous improvement. NAAC strongly believes that assuring and ensuring quality is largely the institution's own responsibility. Quality cannot be imposed or regimented. It has to originate as a measure internal to the institution and is essentially an outcome of the institutional level initiatives. The overriding concern in quality assessment by NAAC is a means of understanding the HEI in a perspective through validation and performance evaluation of the various academic and administrative processes of the institution. NAAC has thus recognized and set its vision and mission with emphasis on building quality on the inner strengths of the functional units of the institutions themselves; which promote and cultivate enriching learning environments through planned educational processes. NAAC's ultimate goal is to develop a quality culture wherein quality consciousness and striving for excellence will become powerful internal driving forces at ad levels of colleges and universities.
