Brief note on the line items:

 

The budget is based on actual costs incurred by the institution and is based on a costing methodology that has been introduced over the last 3 years and takes into account all direct and indirect expenses that might be incurred on a project. 

 

Uniforms:  Each student is being provided with 2 sets of uniforms as per the norms of the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE)

 

Education materials:  Apart from the regular text books, work books, education material, stationery etc, the students are also being provided with resource material to develop creative teaching material. A lot of emphasis is on regular seminars and workshops which are resource intensive.

 

Lab expenses:  Exclusive labs for Physics, chemistry, Biology and Psychology have been set up.  Students are encouraged to use them optimally.

 

Library expenses:  As this is a new college, the library will be gradually be built.  Apart from procuring new books for use and reference, some amount will also be used for replacement.

 

Exposure trips:  As per the NCTE, the students have to be taken on exposure tours every year.  The tours will be to good Teacher training colleges and schools across Karnataka. They will also be taken on visits to different places of interest, preferably within Karnataka.

 

Special sessions:  The students are mostly rural and tribal students and need a lot of inputs in English, maths, science, Computers & IT and in Soft skills including different personality development workshops. This is being arranged as didactic lectures, workshops, seminars and invited presentations by experts.  The amount requested will be used for paying the resource persons, conducting the workshops and seminars and on the travel of the resource persons.  This is extremely critical in ensuring quality and wholesomeness of the training that the students receive.

 

Cultural program:  Regular cultural programs will be conducted throughout the year in order to ensure that aesthetic and other related skills of the students are enhanced. 

 

Sports material:  Sports will be a integral part of the learning process and all students will be encouraged to participate in indoor and outdoor sports.

 

Miscellaneous: This is for unplanned and contingency expenses.

 

Operational/Admin costs:  All office expenses, fuel, expenses on the genset, office stationery, copying, internet postage charges etc.

 

Food & Accommodation: This is a residential program and the costs incurred on the food and hostel is included. This is approximately Rs 1090 per month per resident. Has been calculated for 11 months each year.

 

Personnel costs:  It is extremely difficult to get well trained and qualified personnel in such remote areas. It is necessary to pay them suitable salaries in order to attract them to come to Hosahalli and work. Keeping in mind the different market rates and the prevailing dynamics, it has been decided to offer all the teachers scales comparable to what the Government pays.  Hence this is on the higher side.

 

Capital expenses: The capital expense required is hostel (residential facility) for the students, furniture for 100 students, LCD projector, seminar hall and 2 classrooms. The same has been amortized over the next 5 years.  Arrangements have been made to borrow money from State Bank of Mysore and Canara Bank to ensure that the capital needs are met immediately.  This will enable us to conduct the teaching program without waiting for donor support immediately.
