Functioning of Thirukattupalli government arts college on temporary premises causes concern

Functioning of Thirukattupalli government arts college on temporary premises causes concern

The Hindu
Wednesday, April 9, 2025 2:42 PM GMT

Thirukattupalli Government Arts and Science College faces infrastructure challenges on temporary campus, awaiting completion of permanent campus.

The Thirukattupalli Government Arts and Science College in Thanjavur district has been operating on a temporary campus — the premises of a former Panchayat Union Office in Budalur — for over three years has caused concern over inadequate infrastructure.

Students and parents are growing anxious as construction of the college’s permanent campus at the nearby Mosaspuram is yet to gain full momentum.

Announced in 2021 as one of ten new government colleges to expand access to higher education in Tamil Nadu, the college began functioning in 2021. Though land was identified in 2022 and foundation was laid in November 2023, the project has stalled due to encroachments and administrative delays.

Currently, the college shares its cramped premises with a cement godown and a few government offices, leaving minimal space for classrooms and no playground. The shortage of space has forced the administration to run classes in two shifts. Three departments operate from 9 a.m. to 1.15 p.m., and two departments from 1.15 p.m. to 5.15 p.m., to manage with limited infrastructure.

With over 610 students enrolled across five departments — B.A. (Tamil and English), BBA, B.Com., and B.Sc. (Computer Science) — the college is set to send out its first batch of undergraduates soon. However, the lack of basic amenities, including hostel facilities, makes it difficult for students from other districts who joined via counselling.

The staffing situation is another major concern. Only two permanent faculty members are posted — Principal and a commerce faculty. Four others are deputed from nearby colleges, while 14 guest lecturers handle the remaining classes. Faculty members have pointed out that the lack of permanent appointments is affecting academic quality.

P. David Livingstone, State president of the Tamil Nadu Government Collegiate Teachers’ Association, said, “This reflects a larger issue—over 4,000 lecturer vacancies exist across the higher education department. Guest faculty have become the norm.”
