The faculty members and administrative staff are extremely cooperative accommodative in the task assigned to any faculty member in terms of course allotment, timing of classes and providing equal opportunities for growth. 4. Seminars and workshops on current economic issues will improve our satisfaction. 5. Exposure to foreign universities is needed for improvement in term of teaching and research. 37 CRITERION-7 INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES 38 Criterion-7 Institutional Facilities Institutional facilities including library, class rooms and offices are adequate to support the objectives of the program. Standard 7-1: The Institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends in learning such as e-learning. a) Departmental library and internet facility Currently there is no departmental library however copies of internship reports, reviews, theses and dissertations of the students are placed in the office of the office superintendent and are available for the students. Faculty and students use the Central Library of the University. The Departmental library needs to be upgraded however. Internet facility is available in offices of the faculty and Main Computer Laboratory of the University. A large number of international research journals are also available through HEC Digital Library and research articles of interest can be downloaded. However, these facilities are insufficient to cater the requirements of the students and need improvement. b) Main library Faculty members and students of Department of Agricultural Economics are allowed to use the main library during and after normal working hours. The main library provides the following services; i. Course books and reference matierial ii. Internet and e-learning resources iii. Digital library with access to journals and e-books c) Offices Each faculty of the Department has its own office. However, Ph.D. students share offices. 39 d) Class rooms The Department has two classrooms. There is an urgent need of two more classrooms to cater the needs of its under-graduate students. Standard 7-2: The library relevant program and must be adequately staffed with professional to the must possess on up-to-date technical collection personnel. The Main University Library has 10800 books and 15,000 volumes of scientific journals covering a wide range of disciplines in agriculture with a vast collection of literature on Agricultural Economics. The Main University Library has professional staff and is also computerized. Though the library has the latest literature on Agricultural Economics, yet this literature covers only some aspects of the subject. Standard 7-3: Class rooms must be adequately equipped and offices must be adequate to enable faculty to carry out their responsibility. Classrooms Presently, the Department uses its two classrooms for teaching purpose. Although, these classrooms are equipped with whiteboards, yet two more classrooms is urgently needed for under-graduate students. Further, it also needs one conference room for organizing seminars. Faculty Offices Most of the faculty has adequate office facilities. However, more offices will be required to accommodate new faculty. 40 CRITERION-8 INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT 41 Criterion-8 Institutional Support The institution’s support and the financial resources for the program is sufficient to provide an environment in which the program can achieve its objectives and retain its strengths. Standard 8-1: There must be sufficient support and financial resources to attract and retain high quality faculty and provide the means for them to maintain competence as teacher and scholars. The Department of Agricultural Economics has sufficient qualified faculty to provide opportunities to junior faculty and students to maintain competence. For the last few years HEC has been very generous to strengthen our Department through Indigenous PhD Scholarships. The major financial source of the the Department is the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar which relies on HEC for funding. Standard 8-2: There must be an adequate number of high quality graduate students, research assistants and Ph.D. Students The following table shows the number of students enrolled in M.Sc (Hons) program of the Department of Agricultural Economics. Table 8.1 Years Degree Program M.Sc (Hons) 2008 2009 2010 29 47 49 Student/Faculty Ratio (for the last three years) 5:1 (2010) Standard 8-3: Financial resources must be provided to acquire and maintain library holding, laboratories and computing facilities. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar provides financial resources to maintain library and computing facilities. The Department, however, does not have separate funds of its own to maintain and upgrade its library and computing facilities. 42 Annexure-1: Course Syllabi Courses for M.Sc (Hons) Agricultural Economics 1.
