On behalf of the college family, I am highly pleased to welcome all the students seeking admission in Government Degree College Chaukhutiya (Almora). It bring me immense pleasure to bring to you the new website of Govt. Degree college Chaukhutiya. It is a platform where the student gets the opportunity to be up to date with all the nuances happening in the college, the present facilities, the schedule for the various events and the teaching faculties etc.
It is of utmost importance that teachers should not only fulfill their teaching commitments but also inculcate among students universal, moral and ethical values through their interaction with them, students should also be engaging them in extension activities that will make higher education institutions relevant and useful to the society and ensure that the students are able to apply their learning in real life. With the rise in enrollment of students, the responsibility of teachers has also increased as they have to manage large classroom, dealing with varying learning abilities and motivational levels of students. They have to keep in mind the present circumstances where the student is used to the internet and technologies. All these challenges necessitate to the need for effective managerial and leadership skills both inside and outside the classroom. The task of overall development of future citizens is not so easy. The purpose is not so much to make them learned as to make them wise, to give them understanding of their own ends and the end of all things.
A teacher has to work by heart as well as the head because many of the student have deep psychological disturbance in them. The college is the best place to inculcate in students ideals and values of social work through NSS, NCC, Rover & Rangers etc. Apart from infusing dignity, it helps cultivate a human trait- that of being able to contribute to the collective responsibility of society. Education is not merely disseminating the information but it must be used for developing right attitude and training of the “intellect”.
