FACILITIES

 

Library

      Any College without a library, adequate for its need and size cannot be recognized as a worthy centre of education. A library is the centre of the intellectual life of an educational institution available at all times for reference, for study and for private reading. The TGCE Library has acquired a collection of about 8500 books in a short span of six years that have been of much benefit to the trainees and faculty.

 

Laboratory

    Educational Psychology is a basic subject at any level of teacher training. A Psychology lab is very important in any College of Education. The TGCE Psychology lab has been equipped with necessary tools and apparatus for its proper functioning and training of the teacher trainees.

    Educational Technology plays a vital role in teacher training programme. TGCE has a well-equipped AV Hall and Educational Technology lab and is under the process of acquiring more equipment for imparting qualitative training.

    The College has also developed a Language lab to impart better training in language teaching. The required infrastructure for such training is available in this lab.

    In order to meet the demands of computer education and information technology TGCE has developed a well equipped Computer Centre with internet and other all modern facilities.

    A General Science Lab is also available to impart training in Science experiments to trainees of Graduate and Postgraduate level. It has been equipped with all modern equipments.

Co-curricular activities
  

     The aim of education is all round development of a student and co-curricular activities are essential for such development. These activities help in the development of 4 H's - Head, Heart, Hand and Health in a student. Psychologically these activities provide outlets for the flow of the energy of the students. This includes seminars, workshops, camps, debates group discussions and celebrations of national important days. Educational tours are also organized for the trainees to visit a few important places in and around Port Blair to gain first hand experience with the nature and to see how science and technology could be used for the benefit of the Islanders. This is done as a part of off the campus programme. It also includes 5 days camping and other outdoor activities.

 

Hostel
 

     As the teacher trainees hail from different islands which are scattered far and near, there has always been a need to provide a separate hostel for women trainees. This has been met with by constructing a separate building in the Girls School Campus, and christened as “Rani Lakshmi Hostel for Women Teacher Trainees.” It can accommodate 34 women trainees. At present, the men trainees are accommodated in the old building of the College Campus. About 25 students can be accommodated in this building.

 

Museum
 

     The College also maintains a museum, which is the appreciation and admiration of dignified visitors. Though it is small, but it enables one to peep into the past traditional history of these Islands.

Co-operative Society
 

     To create unity and develop the spirit of mutual help and self-reliance and trade morality among the trainees, which is beneficial for both the staff and students and to provide stationeries at a cheaper rate, Tagore College Staff & Trainees Welfare Co-operative Society has been established in 1999. The faculty members and the trainees have their share of contribution towards this society. This society has facilities for refreshment, stationery items at concessional rates, pay phone, Photostat etc. It also provides financial help to the needy trainees.
