Additionally, the introduction of job-oriented and industrially relevant courses under RUSA empowers students with the skills needed for self-employment, contributing to national development goals and fostering a more dynamic and competitive workforce. Overall, the RUSA scheme stands as a comprehensive initiative aimed at uplifting the higher education sector and empowering institutions to better serve their students and communities. With the assistance of the RUSA (Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) fund, our institution has made significant improvements to its infrastructure and facilities. These enhancements include the construction of new classrooms, procurement of laboratory equipment, computers, printers, projectors, and interactive touch panels, as well as the renovation of existing laboratories. These developments aim to enhance the learning environment and provide students with modern resources to facilitate their academic growth and development.

N.K.R. Government Arts College for Women is named after Namakkal Kavignar Ramalingam Pillai, a renowned poet. Established in the year 1969 with the noble aim of upliftment of rural women moulding them into academically competent, self sufficient and self confident individuals to emerge outstanding in their respective avocations. The College is affiliated to Periyar University and offers 13 Undergraduate courses, 11 Postgraduate courses and Research Programs. The College stepped into 50th year and celebrates its Golden Jubilee in the year 2018 – 2019. Due to its high academic standards, the Institution was awarded Reaccreditation with ‘A’ Grade by NAAC. The proposal submitted by Namakkal Kavignar Ramalingam Government Arts College for Women in 2016-17, aligned with RUSA criteria, aimed at enhancing the infrastructure of the institution. The proposal encompasses the construction of new classrooms, renovation of existing laboratories and the auditorium, as well as the procurement of laboratory equipment. The allotted amount is designated to facilitate these infrastructure improvements, ensuring a conducive learning environment for our students.

In March 2017, our institution received a sanction of One Crore under the RUSA scheme, followed by the actual receipt of funds in May 2017. Subsequently, 70 lakhs were transferred to the Public Works Department (PWD) for the construction of Five New Classrooms and the procurement of essential equipment including computers, printers, projectors, and interactive touch panels. Further bolstering our infrastructure, we received additional sanctions of One Crore each in March 2019 and December 2021. With these funds, we prioritized the purchase of laboratory equipment for various science departments and executed renovation works through PWD for the Chemistry, Nutrition & Dietetics, and Computer Science departments, as well as for the Football Ground and Auditorium. These endeavors have significantly enhanced the learning environment and facilities at our institution, aligning with the objectives of the RUSA scheme to promote access, equity, and excellence in higher education.

In response to the pressing need for additional classrooms due to overcrowding, a proposal was submitted under the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) scheme. Following the approval of the proposal, funding was allocated for the construction of new classrooms. These classrooms have significantly alleviated the strain on existing infrastructure and provided a conducive learning environment for students.

The acquisition of computers, printers, projectors, interactive touch panels, and science laboratory equipment for students serves to enrich the learning environment, promote collaboration and communication, enhance information processing, prepare students for the digital age, and stimulate curiosity and creativity. These resources are essential tools for equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their academic pursuits and beyond.

The proposed renovation work for the labs and auditorium building aims to create modern, safe, and accessible spaces that support academic excellence and enrich the learning experience for students and faculty alike. By investing in these essential facilities, the institution demonstrates its commitment to providing high-quality education and fostering innovation and creativity in teaching and research endeavors.

The newly constructed five classrooms serve as vital spaces for educational activities, enabling enhanced engagement and participation among students. With adequate seating arrangements, proper lighting, ventilation, and modern amenities, these classrooms facilitate effective teaching and learning experiences.

Students now have access to designated spaces conducive to concentration and academic excellence. The additional classrooms have also allowed for the expansion of educational programs and the introduction of new courses, further enriching the academic landscape of the institution.

Overall, the construction of these classrooms under the RUSA scheme has not only addressed the immediate need for infrastructure but has also paved the way for enhanced educational opportunities and student success.
