Preface
The Sanjivani Education Society, Parbhani established Sant Tukaram
College of Arts and Science, Parbhani on the 15th August 1998. The
college offers BA and B.Sc. at UG level and MA in Marathi, MA in
Geography, MA in Psychology and M.Sc. in Industrial Microbiology
at PG level. In addition to three are also five Ph. D. supervisors in 05
subjects. Thus the college provides students with wide academic
flexibility from undergraduate to research level in Arts and Science
faculties. All the programmes are directed towards realization of our
Mission and achieving our objectives, in keeping with the values of
Sanjivani Education Society, Parbhani, as propounded by its
founders.
During the past few years, research endeavours have been geared up
with increased participation of teachers in research activities like
publications of research papers, paper presentation in seminars and
conferences and few minor research projects being funded by
funding agencies. The NSS and other outreach activities are taking
place in collaboration with some NGOs for more effective and
meaningful community service. These programmes have sensitised
students and provided opportunities for experiential learning. The
college also took consistent efforts to address women empowerment
issues through several gender sensitization initiatives over the years.
The Self Study Report (SSR) includes the Preface, Executive
Summary, SWOC of the institution, Profile of the institution,
Criterion wise inputs, Evaluative Reports of the Departments and
Annexures. The SSR has been shared with major stake holders
including teachers, students and the management at every stage of
its preparation and finalization.
I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to each and
every individual colleague for their valuable contribution in
preparing the SSR. I would also like to acknowledge the tireless
efforts of the Principal, IQAC members and all seven Criteria In-
Charges, Heads of Departments and all teachers for their support in
our journey towards excellence. The IQAC Co-ordinator, Dr. Pandit
Nirmal has played a pivotal role in propagating quality initiatives in
the college. The team of College office have responded very well and

worked very efficiently in providing data to the IQAC. I am
extremely happy that the entire work of preparation of SSR has
helped in defining policies, strategies, systems and procedures in a
better way to serve as a blueprint for further growth and
development of the college.

7.3 Best Practices
BEST PRACTICE: I
1. Title of the Practice: Voluntary Blood Donation Camp
2. Goal
• To create awareness among students about blood
donation.
• To promote students to donate blood and maintain social
commitment.
• To motivate and maintain a permanent well-indexation
record of voluntary blood donors.
3. The Context
The main objective is to dedicate every New by organizing the
voluntary blood donation camp. We also believe in nurturing
good social commitments in our students. Our foremost desire in
this regard is to provide a cordial atmosphere for students of
different colleges and the people to donate the blood. Our main
objective therefore is to remove the fear regarding donating blood
among the students. The blood donation camp is an excellent
program for society.
4. The Practice
The NSS unit and Students’ Welfare Committee has been
organizing the blood donation camp since last five years. The
pamphlet, the name of the blood bank, date and time is conveyed
all colleges, blood donors and the people from the city.
Individually the conveners and committee’s members visit to
various colleges and blood donors and request them to
participate in this camp. The day of the camp begins with
registration of participants coming from society and the
Inaugural ceremony begins. The highlight of the inauguration is
the key-note address by a renowned doctor. Also present on the
occasion are two or three donors share their experiences after
donating the blood many times.
The response from the student participants and other donors is
heartening. After donating the blood college provides the
refreshment to donors and blood bank provides the certificate.

4. 05/11/2014 35 New Blood Bank, Parbhani
5. Evidence of Success
The very fact that the camp is still going strong after 4 years
shows not only its popularity but also our social responsibility.
The camp provides the opportunity to all the donors for donating
blood because they know that it is their human duty. Because
many blood banks are running short of required blood. So each
and everyone who is fit for donating blood comes forward to
donate blood as it can make sure to return of a dying man again
into the light of life.
The camp has gained immense popularity and people knew the
importance of blood donation and the idea is being taken up by
many local colleges.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The lack of knowledge and fear regarding blood donation is the
main barrier. The problems such as the mentality of people, the
requirement of minimum age and weight of girls’ students and
the less response from other traditional and professional college
students are takes into consideration.
BEST PRACTICE: II
1. Title of the Practice: Diet Counseling and Family Welfare
Counseling

and married couples.
3. The Context
Self -Study Report for First Cycle
Sant Tukaram College of Arts and Science, Parbhani 134
Health is prime important thing in everyone’s life. Majority of
people are not aware of scientific information regarding food
nutritional requirement according to age, sex, working pattern,
different stage in life span etc. The reasons behind it may be lack
of knowledge, poverty, illiteracy, ignorance and importance of
diet in human life. The department of Home Science of our
college has started Diet and Family Welfare Counselling in the
year of 2012. Wide publicity has given through local newspapers.
The head of department of Home Science is Ph D in Home
Science and Law graduate and had good experience of research in
Vasantrao Nail Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani.
The knowledge and experience of the head of department should
be useful so the counselling is started.
4. The Practice
The department of Home Science creates awareness among
students about food, nutrition, child development, home
management and clothing textile. During discussion and
meetings with members of various committees of our college,
parents, the thing was coming out that there is need of such
counselling.
5. Evidence of Success
The continuous and constant practice of Diet and Family Welfare
Counseling has resulted into good responses. The following
points reflect its outcome:
1. Development of health consciousness among number of girl
students
2. Development of dietary awareness among students
3. Positive changes in some children who have behavioral
problems.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The students and parents and not conscious about health, dietary
recommendation, body mass index, ideal weight etc. They are not
aware the importance of locally available foods. They do not
want to visit such counseling centers.
7. Notes:
