PTA Committee

A College Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a statutory, non-commercial body comprising parents, teachers, and staff designed to foster collaboration for student development.

The Executive Committee, often led by the Principal, manages affairs, improves infrastructure, ensures discipline, and supports academic activities to enhance the college environment.

Key Aspects of a College PTA Committee:

• Structure & Composition: Typically includes the Principal (President/Chairperson), elected vice-president, secretary, and members representing parents and teachers.
• Objectives: To foster good relationships between staff and parents, maintain high academic standards, and promote student welfare.

Key Responsibilities:

• Resource & Funding: Raising funds for student amenities, scholarships, and infrastructural improvements.
• Communication: Acting as a bridge between parents and faculty to discuss student performance.
• Decision-Making: Organizing, supporting, and managing extracurricular activities and college events.
• Meetings: The Executive Committee meets regularly (e.g., monthly), while the General Body meets once or twice a year to discuss policy and overall progress.
• Role in Governance: The PTA serves as an advisory body to ensure the smooth functioning of academic programs.

— PTAs are usually formed within 30 days of the start of the academic session.
