7. Innovations and Best Practices

7.1 Innovations introduced during

this academic year which have

created a positive impact on

the functioning of the

institution. Give details:

Continuous academic monitoring activity of

the IQAC team led to the timely competition

of the syllabus and proper conduct of the

internal examinations

In the course of the year four UGC

sponsored national seminars were

conducted. There were also a number of

district level seminars, lecture sessions and


talks which enabled students to have a close

interaction with experts in the respective

areas.

The college hosted two popular television

campus shows in which our students

participated.

Naambu-15, ‘Nadil utsav’ a paddy sowing

festival was organised under the Nature

Club and Green Army to sensitise the

students on the benefits of organic farming

of paddy.

Departments of the college organised a

number of training programmes like soft

skill training, interior designing and fashion

designing, training in current trends in the

financial market, Japanese Management

strategies etc.

7.2 Provide the Action Taken

Report (ATR) based on the

plan of action decided upon at

the beginning of the year

See Annexure I (College Academic

Calendar)

institution (please see the

format in the NAAC Self-study

Manuals)

7.4 Contribution to environmental

awareness / protection

Refer to Green Campus Drive Best Practice

in 7.3


7.5 Whether environmental audit

was conducted?

The college council examines the campus and

regularly alerts the authorities with regard to the

violation against the eco-friendly campus norms.

7.6 Any other relevant information

the institution wishes to add.

(for example SWOT Analysis)

A nutshell of SWOT analysis

a) Strength

Pollution free green campus surrounded on

three sides by wetlands serving as paddy

fields for six months of the year and fresh

water lake for fish farming for the other six

months.

Good infrastructure with sufficient

amenities for effective teaching-learning,

with amble space for cultural activities and

for various sports activities

Proper dissemination of information through

e-governance.

Central library with various e-resources

Dedicated and professionally competent

Staff.

Interpersonal rapport between management,

staff and students.

Well integrated counselling facility,

Women empowerment programs,

women specific career opportunities,

Systematic functioning of value education

program

Well-structured tutorial and mentoring

system

well equipped fitness centre

b) Weakness

No autonomy in course designing.

Constant delay in the publication of results

leading to unequal distribution of work

hours between semesters. This practically

takes away the opportunity of students to

improve their results. The results of the

improvement exams of semester 2,3,4 and 5


never arrive in time to be entered in the final

mark list after the normal completion of the

programme.

c) Opportunities

Scope for physical expansion

Potential for more research centres

Ecologically conducive space for

agriculture, aquaculture and avian studies.

Sports infrastructure and space are sufficient

to organise inter-collegiate and inter-state

football and cricket tournaments.

d) Threats

Being an Arts and Science college the

placement and job opportunities for our

students are relatively less than technical

and management institutions.

8. Plans of institution for next year

A faculty orientation programme is scheduled in June 2016.

More field visits and study tours are planned in the coming academic year in all

departments.

The vocational programme coordinators are instructed to participate students in in

Gems and Jewellery exhibitions and galleries, to make visits to pearl culturing

fields, ruby, garnet mining and gem stone cutting and to schedule visits to higher

education institutions of technology and management.

Students are to have more exposure to practical experience of everyday science

like making soaps and detergents, vegetable farming and paddy cultivation, water

quality analysis, first-aid and so on.

Research promotion through seminars, lectures and awareness programmes;

training programmes in research report writing, script writing, finance market, anti-

plagiarism software and so on.

Promotion of learning through additional certificate and diploma programmes like

Diploma in logistics and retail management, Tally etc.

Practical inculcation of values in students through visits to prisons, homes of the

differently-abled, old age homes and spending a day with them staging cultural

programmes; by making students participate in blood donation camps and anti-

drug campaigns; by initiating them into nature preservation projects like planting

and protecting trees and preservation of wet lands for future; by making awareness

programmes in climate change and preservation of water bodies etc.


Initiating student support programmes like UGC-CSIR NET coaching, conducting

motivational programmes.

Promotion of women empowerment by organising self-defence training sessions,

zumba fitness and meditation and women oriented skill development programme.
