Dr PDBH Govt PG College Kotdwar, right from inception has been rendering educational service and catering to the weaker sections of the society since five decades. The institution has transgressed several milestones. It is accredited with ‘C’ grade by NAAC in 2004 (Ist Cycle), reaccredited with ‘B’ grade in 2015      (In Second Cycle). The IQAC was established after the first accreditation by NAAC in 2005, as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since its establishment the IQAC has been involved in the improvement of the quality sustenance of the institution. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for unswerving and catalytic improvement in the performance of the college.

The IQAC makes a significant and meaningful contribution in the post-accreditation phase of institutions. During the post-accreditation period, the IQAC channelizes the efforts and measures of the institution towards academic excellence. IQAC has been a suggestive body to the management on the provision of staff and student support services. IQAC also organizes Faculty Development Program in campus and also motivates staff to attend such program organized by reputed institutions. The management is receptive to the suggestions (benchmarks) of IQAC and implemented them – like establishment of research center, installation of smart projectors, creation of official email id etc. The IQAC, functions with great zeal to enhance the quality of the institution in all spheres. It is sure that in the forth coming years we will try to attain the pinnacle of excellence in the field of Higher Education of the State of Uttrakhand.

The establishment of Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) by accredited institutions (after the first cycle) is a major step in pushing long-term quality standards. IQAC in any institution is a significant administrative body that is responsible for all quality matters pertaining to qualitative and quantitative improvements. It is the prime responsibility of IQAC to initiate, plan and supervise various activities that are necessary to increase the quality of the education imparted in an institution or college. Our college is  owned and managed by Government of Uttarakhand so many decisions are taken by the Government to improve qualitative, quantitative aspect of overall administration. In the wake of this the role of IQAC in maintaining quality standards in Teaching, Learning and Evaluation becomes crucial.
