Our Institution has some values and best practices for which the college is distinctly known. In our curriculum, we have explicit and implicit references to gender equity. In our classroom interactions, we make the most of the curricula to apprise our students of various genders about gender equality and gender neutrality. Various committees like the ICC (Internal Complaints Committee), WDC, the Students’ Grievance and Redressal Committee, the Anti-Ragging Cell, and IQAC have helped us achieve that.
We have installed close-circuit cameras (CCTVs) almost everywhere, which are constantly monitored by a team headed by the principal. Washrooms are cleanly maintained. There is a Girls’ Common Room equipped with two Sanitary Napkin Vending Machines. Programmes, discussions and seminars on Gender sensitization, Women's Development, Mother’s Day Celebrations etc are conducted on a regular basis.
The college adopts a policy of providing an inclusive environment. For this, it arranges and organises so
many events. Among them the following are important.
Rabindra Jayanti on 25 Bishakh (around 7 May), Nazrul Jayanti on 11 Jaistha (around 25 May), Vidyasagar Jayanti (26 September), Netaji Jayanti (Parakram Divas) (23 January), International Yoga Day (21st June),
Freshers’ Welcome Festival (Nabin Baran Utsab) in January, Teachers’ Day,

The college has certain best practices. One is Women Empowerment in a Migrant labour populated, early-marraige-affected locality. The objectives of the practice are:
Women's Empowerment in a Migrant-hit, early-marriage affected locality
The locality surrounding Murshidabad Adarsha Mahavidyalaya is a minority-based locality. Most of the parents of the female students are migrant labourers, working in different parts of the country, biri shramiks, daily labourers, and often jobless. Most of these female students are first-generation learners. Due to financial constraints, lack of education and lack of a scientific belief system, they become victims of early marriage. To educate such girl children and empower them is a mammoth task.
Despite the advancement of science, technology, globalization, computerization, bills for women, reservations for women, and laws for women, women are still not free and empowered. This is very critical in a condition like our college. Our college and different committees and cells are very proactive in protecting our female students and making them financially independent and strong-willed. Every committee has a Coordinator and some members. They together sit and make a plan of action. The Governing Body, the Principal, IQAC Coordinator, NAAC Coordinator, the Teachers' Council and every wing of the college take special care and attention to our female students. A 24x7 surveillance system has been installed, and everything is closely monitored to prevent any untoward incidents against women.
We have arranged a fully furnished, modern Common Room for girls where resting places such as chairs, beds, and benches are available. A stretcher and wheelchair for the physically challenged are available. A modern washroom is also attached. We have kept a first aid preparation ready for them. Moreover, we have kept a vending machine for sanitary napkins ready for them. We do regular mental counselling for our female students. We do treat them as our own dau
Regular seminars, talks, invited lectures, and gender sensitization programs are held to give them strength and power. We work seamlessly so that our female students can get the proper skills for employability. We tirelessly work for them to sail them through stages of higher education, NET/SET. We devote time and energy to making them successful entrepreneurs, leaders, social workers, and good human beings.
Many of our girl students every year get admitted to various higher education institutes to complete their MA, MSc (Geography), PhD, NET/SET, and B.Ed, and they do succeed. Many enrol for various competitive examinations like WBCS, SSC, STAFF SELECTION, TET, and other examinations. They do achieve success. Many of our female students do business as well. For example, the following students passed NET:
In 2022, Istara Mehebuba got 1st Position of opposition leader in the Intra College Youth Parliament Competition. In 2023, Susmita Kisku, a tribal woman, got 3rd position in district-level sports.
Title of the Practice
Blood Donation Camp: A noble effort to mitigate blood crisis
Objectives of the practice
The context
Blood is vital to the medical industry. Every year in every hospital nursing home and health centre thousands of bottles of blood are required to meet the demands. In our locality also, like Domkal Super Speciality Hospital, Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital and nearby nursing homes and health centres, blood on an emergency basis is needed. To cope with such life-saving situations, the college regularly organises blood donation camps mostly through the NSS unit of the college
The practice of donating blood in our college is long drawn, to such an extent that it has become an identification mark of our college. All teachers, non-teaching staff and students joyously participate in such camps to give them a festive look it. Previously teachers themselves organised such camps. From 2018-19, since the creation of NSS, NSS has taken it over. Teachers and students alike donate blood.
One such blood donation camp took place on 29.03.2022 in room no 5. 46 students from various departments and many teachers donated blood. Dr S.M.Sarfaraj from Domkal Super Speciality Hospital, Abdur Sofir (MT Lab) and Md Mortuj (Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital) attended. 47 pouches of blood have been collected and donated. Every donor was provided with a certificate.
In the second instance, a blood donation camp was organised on 16.3.23 at room no 27 31 students donated blood. Dr Nazfat Benazir and other medical; staff attended the camp. 31 pouches of blood were collected and donated. Every donor was provided with a certificate.
