Quality Matters everywhere and it matters more in the field of education.Quality up gradation is not a onetime phenomenon. Quest for excellence is a continuous and perennial pursuit.
“We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” ~ Aristotle .
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.” ~ John Ruskin.
“A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.” ― Audrey Hepburn.
Education is the panacea of all the evils in the society. ~Swami Vivekananda.
The ongoing changes in higher education, in the wake of national educational reforms, legislative enactments, the UGC/MHRD/State Government directives and the challenges put forth by globalization, necessitate that the educational institutes actively engage themselves in the development and implementation of quality benchmarks in all their key performance areas. In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore, for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, the NAAC proposes that every accredited institution establishes an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Establishment of IQAC by every accredited institution as a post-accreditation measure is the first step towards internalization and institutionalization. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC should become a part of an institution's system and work towards realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. NAAC is triggering a ‘Quality Culture’ among the various constituents of the HEI, as well as enhancing the awareness of Institutional Quality Assurance with all stakeholders.
Committed to sustain and improve the quality further and also to achieve higher level of excellence, the Govt. College Seema has established the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to institutionalize the process of quality enhancement and sustenance in all the key areas of its delivery. The IQAC is the nodal agency entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring total quality management by ushering in innovations leading to achieving excellence and adoption of intervention strategies for monitoring their successful implementation. Ever in quest for excellence, the IQAC functions to assure institutional accountability with probity to all the stakeholders, funding agencies in particular and society as a whole.
The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the performance of institution. The IQAC will make a significant and meaningful contribution in the post-accreditation phase of institutions. During the post-accreditation period, the IQAC will channelize the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence. Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) assumes importance as an endogenous system defining the quality culture of an institution. All the stakeholders of an institution should promote and encourage the activities of the IQAC in order to make the institution a Centre of Excellence.

College Seema enjoys its own reputation as a premier institution that has imparted quality education to the youths of Rohru area and it has also contributed richly to the development of the quality of life of youths.
