About
the College
|
Govt. Zirtiri Residential Science College,
Aizawal possesses the unique position of being the first and only science
college in the State of Mizoram, NE India. It was established by an act of
the State Assembly in 2000 with the primary vision of providing science
education. Since then, the defined goal of the college is to ensure quality
education for empowering the native people – who are educationally backward
in science education – by enhancing the status of science and technology.
Since then, the college is now proudly marching towards its second
decade of existence.
The College is affiliated to Mizoram
University and offers 10 UG course, besides 1 certificate course as a
value-added course. It is registered under 2(f) & 12-B of UGC Act under
the nomenclature ‘Govt. Zirtiri Women’s College’ in 1989, which was later
re-named to its present form in 2000. Home Science, Biochemistry and
Electronics are courses available in the college which are not offered
anywhere else in the State. It is also the first college in Mizoram to start
BCA programme.
The college is currently located in the heart
of Aizawl, the capital city on temporary buildings with inadequate space for
Classrooms, Computer laboratories, Auditorium, Science laboratories and
Library. After much cajoling and frequent submission of pleas, the State
Government has allocated land for its permanent campus where construction
works have commenced for hostel facilities in the new campus.
The College was accredited with Grade B by
NAAC in 2009. Re-collecting and reflecting on our quality status during these
past years, and endeavouring to live true to the motto, ‘Lighted to Lighten’
the College has now volunteered for a second accreditation cycle. In spite of
the seemingly difficult situations and working conditions, we choose to
persevere. All efforts within our capacity are taken into perspective to
involve the stakeholders – students, faculty members, alumni, parents, and
the Government to ensure quality sustenance and enhancement.
