The faculties who have undertaken the minor/major research projects always havethe congenial ambience in the institute.

2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition at the state, national andinternational level for excellence in teaching during the last four years. Enunciate how theinstitutional culture and environment contributed to such performance/achievement of thefaculty.

Dr. A. K. Singh received the award of the second best paper presented at the 23rd

Gujarat Science Congress 2009.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external Peers?If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learningprocess?

Yes, the feedback from the outgoing students of the final year has been regularly taken inthe prescribed format. The obtained feedback or the suggestions received from thesuggestion-box are conveyed to the concerned faculty members.



2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especiallystudents and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

The institute is the affiliated college to Veer Narmad South Gujarat University. It followsthe Choice Based Credit System adopted by the university and also follows its evaluationpattern.

The stakeholders are made aware of the evaluation process as it is a part of theprospectus which is given at the time of admission.

First year students are informed about the process of evaluation of the institute by theprincipal during the orientation/welcome programmes.

Individual subject teacher informs the students about criteria & method of internalevaluation in respective theory & practical subjects.

Tentative dates for the internal test as well as the retest are planned by theexamination committee.

The date for the submission of internal marks is decided.

The test time table is prepared by examination committee and displayed on the noticeboards very much in advance to help the students in making plan for exampreparation.

The test results are displayed on the notice board for the information of students.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adoptedand what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?

The University introduced the CBCS pattern and semester system for all the UG and PGprogrammes.

The two layer system of evaluation remains the same. The ratio of the weightage of marksin core compulsory subject is 70% through External Exam and 30% through InternalExam as per the university rule. Out of the 30 marks of the college internal exam, 20marks are given on the basis of the marks obtained in the internal tests as per the methodand 10 marks on the basis of seminar/assignments/projects/presentations andregularity/attendance.



The following reforms have already been implemented looking to the management of timein the short duration of each semester:

The Exam committee monitors the evaluation process at the institutional level. It alsoco-ordinates with the University for any Inquiry from the students

A strong room for the examination work is provided

The committee ensures timely conduct of examination

Maintaining confidentiality

Photocopying of question papers

Allocation of invigilation

Timely assessment of answer books

Declaration of results of the internal exams

A system of seat number coding is developed and implemented which has a unique IDof student which reflects the discipline, class and the examination number of thestudent.

A draw system is followed for allotment of invigilation.

The following are some very recently introduced reforms:

The practice of the online submission of the assignments has been adopted by manyteachers.

The internal/mid semester exam’s weightage has been reduced from 50 marks to 40marks and the duration from two hours to one and a half hour.

There is also a flexibility introduced in the pattern of the question paper, thoughgenerally it is as per the pattern of the external exam.

The following reforms are going to be introduced very soon:

Online internal examination and evaluation

Preparation of question banks for all subjects

Unit tests/other test methods for continuous evaluation as recommended by CBCS

In BBA Program, the following break-up of the internal evaluation existed earlier --



Internal Test – 10 mks

Tutorials – 5 mks

Assignments – 5 mks

Presentation/Viva Voce – 5 mks

Attendance – 5 mks

After the implementation of CBCS in 2011 onwards, the following pattern is supposed tobe followed –

Internal Test – 20 mks

Assignments – 5 mks

Class Participation – 5 mk

However, as per the UGC guidelines, the evaluation should be on the continuous basis.Hence, the earlier system has been opted for better evaluation.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of theuniversity and those initiated by the institution on its own?

To ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reform of the University andcollege, following steps are taken by the institute:

The students are intimated of the implementation of above mentioned reforms by theExamination committee through notice board and by making announcement.

The students are acquainted with the new paper style, evaluation scheme and theperiod of examination.

The students are given the understanding regarding the importance ofseminars/projects/assignments and the regularity in the internal evaluation.

The assessed answer books are shown to the students and are countersigned by themafter satisfying their queries if any.

Internal marks are displayed on the college notice board 10 days prior to Universityexam.



The Subject teacher submits the internal mark sheets to the exam committee and thecommittee makes it a point to countercheck before entering in the Performa of theconsolidated mark sheets provided by the university.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adapted tomeasure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted thesystem.

Formative Evaluation:

The goal of formative evaluation is to monitor student learning, to provide on-goingfeedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students toimprove their learning. Formative Assessment of the students is done on the followingparameters:

Assignments

Presentations / ppt presentations

Workshops/Seminars

Case Studies

Projects

Field visits

Industrial visits

Class interactions

Group discussions/Viva-voce

Research activities

Interdisciplinary applications/studies

Written and practical tests

Organizing functions/events

Curriculum based training



Co and extra curricular activities

Community Services

Inter collegiate/university/state/national level competitions

Overall attendance and conduct during the session.

Summative Evaluation:

The goal of summative evaluation is to evaluate student learning at the end of aninstructional unit/session by setting a yardstick or a benchmark. Summative assessmentsgenerally have a high point value. Summative Assessment takes place at the end of theacademic session which is conducted by the college towards the end of the semester. Ifsome students miss these tests, then an extra chance is given to the student for his/herevaluation by conducting the Re-Test. This process helps the students gain confidenceand achieve good results. This is how the institution uses the formative and summativeevaluation approach to measure the students' performance. The university conducts asummative evaluation at the end of each semester through the following.

Written Exams

Practical Exams

Viva voce

Project work

2.5.5 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress andperformance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide ananalysis of the students results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last fouryears) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across theprogrammes/courses offered.

Academic performance, regularity, participation in co-curricular and extra-curricularactivities; value-based personality development and overall well-being – all these factorsplay a vital role in the progress of the students. The following monitoring methods areadopted by the institution:

Academic monitoring:



The academic performance is monitored by observing the students’ performance inthe classrooms through discussions, interactions, presentations, seminars, andassignments. All or some of these are allotted in order to enhance theircommunication skills, improve their conceptual knowledge and encourage self-learning.

The students of the college actively participated in the project of Narmada Samagra, (Anational level project for the conservation of river Narmada) and carried out thefollowing surveys contributing to the research outcomes of the project-

Re-fixing up the routes of the Narmada Parikrama in Gujarat Region

River health index

Research inputs contributing to new initiatives and social development

The following are the conclusions of the survey and research work taken up by thestudents of the college under the project of Narmada Samagra which highlights theinitiatives taken up for social development-

One of the most outstanding impacts of this project was the conceptualizationof the idea of “River Health Index” during the discussions which took place inthe College in 2009. The concept was proposed by Principal Dr. B. M. Rawaland subsequently it was carried forward to Narmada Samagra and adopted atcore level.

This also led to a corollary idea of creating “Soil Health Card” program atstate level (Gujarat). The establishment of soil testing laboratories in majorityof science colleges in the state and thereby creating data bank of soil healthcard with the Government and student’s participation is the significantoutcome of this seed concept.

The biodiversities surveyed by our students and other people and the reports ofthe scientific community together played a major role in deciding about thedirections put forth by Narmada Samagra for our conduct with the river.

It had an impact on the discussion which took place during the InternationalRiver Festival at Bandhrabhan. It was decided that 3 to 5 km from theriverbanks on both the sides should be considered as the catchment area of theriver; and we must start thinking on the policy – formation, leadership and



framing norms about the river. The Madhya Pradesh Government had to thinkon these recommended lines.

Few of our motivated student participants took part in the “Hariyali ChunariYojana” of “Narmada Samagra” and also trained the people in eco-friendlyidol-making and immersion during the public festivals.

With the funds of the minor research project granted by the UGC the instruments,consumables, books and journals have been procured.



7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page 141) which havecontributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to theQuality improvement of the core activities of the college.



Best Practice – 1Paryavaran Panchkosi Yatra – Narmada College

Goal

We adopted Paryavaran Panchkosi Yatra of Narmada Samagra in order to contributetowards the protection, conservation and caring for the river’s growth and development.

The following were the prime objectives under consideration:

Providing the first hand on-field exposure to the students about nature andenvironment and the effect of human interference on them.

Spreading awareness about the well-being of Maa Narmada and our interferencewith the environment and its impact on the climate and our life among the peoplealongside the banks of Narmada.

Carrying out some research inputs and primary surveys for

Re-fixing up the routes of the Narmada Parikrama in Gujarat Region

River health index

The Context

Narmada is a perpetual flow of religious traditions and spiritual consciousness in theheart of India. The great river, historically much older than even the great Ganges, isalso the hub of Indian culture, civilization and rituals. She is considered a living deitywith whom people interact and communicate at mental and spiritual level. Narmadameans one that provides happiness and joy. Located on the bank of Narmada ourinstitute becomes part of the great civilization living by both the sides of the river. Theriver runs through hills, dense forests, gorges, the vines, rocky patches, caves, plateausand plains, in all covering 1312 km. Hence, automatically becomes a hub of bio-diversityin all varieties and species. Though Mother Narmada is heartily worshipped by thepeople, she is harmed and her purity polluted too, knowingly or unknowingly.

Her existence itself is endangered in the long run due to continued contamination of herwater, deforestation and mining activities in the catchment area. Being a part of thecivilization, it becomes the duty and responsibility of the society to be concerned abouther well being. We should work for her protection, conservation and also to spreadawareness among people about it.



Many organizations are active for such a noble cause. “Narmada Samagra” is a leadingNGO devoted and dedicated to work on all the aspects of the river. Recognizing theresponsibility, our College got associated with the activities of “Narmada Samagra”.

The Practice

Paryavaran Panchkosi Yatra has been formulated on the line of Narmada Parikrama onthe smaller scale. Narmada Parikrama is a special kind of river pilgrimage ofcircumambulation of the river Narmada which is popular in central India. It is an age-old tradition which involves walking along side the river Narmada from her originAmarkantak to the sea, crossing to the other side and walking back to her origin.

The idea of Panchkosi Yatra was proposed and conceptualized in 2009 as a result ofactive discussions at the College level. The students interested in this activity wereidentified and groomed for the task. The project commenced from 2010.Year Number of Groups Number of Students Number of routs

(segments on bothsides of the river)

2010-11 24 139 122011-12 30 306 122012-13 21 115 12

The Pariyavaran Panchkosi Yatra is a program carried out every year fulfilling theobjectives of Narmada Samagra. Under this program, the students are required to walkfive “kos” (20 km approx.) alongside Narmada. The students set out for this Yatra ingroups and complete it in two days. During their visit, the members of the groups aresupposed to visit villages and towns en route and discuss with the people various issuespertaining to the protection and conservation of the river. The groups are also supposedto find out the causes of her pollution and the measures to curb the sources of pollutionthereby creating an environment of awareness. The awareness campaign is thus initiatedand the local people are also involved in it.

The students are divided into groups of five to six on an average. Each group has acoordinator. The groups are motivated, trained and assigned different segments, eachcovering almost 20 km of the length of the river on both the banks. They set out ondifferent locations as per the schedule given. They visit villages and towns on their wayand talk about various aspects of river pollution in the “Chaupal” (a gathering ofleading people of the village). They find out the causes of pollution and suggest measuresto control it and create an atmosphere to initiate action. They are advised to meet thesaints, “parikramavasis”; visit the “maths” and “ashrams” en route and receive supportand guidance from the enlightened souls. The students walk on foot and are usually



welcome warmly by the villagers and are provided food and shelter as part of thetradition of “parikrama”. The students did not have to bear any expenses for their yatra.The people actively participated and contributed to the noble cause by theirphilanthropy.

During the Yatra, they also carry out the surveys. They surveyed on two different aspects:

Narmada Path Sarvekshan (Parikrama Path Survey)

Nadi Swasthya Prapatra (River Health Index)

The students prepare their group wise reports and many present their work throughpower point presentations too. It is made a part of the curriculum assignment work. TheYatra and the survey reports are submitted to Narmada Samagra. The compilation andanalysis of these reports are done at the core level of Narmada Samagra.

The Narmada Samagra brings out a quarterly bulletin on the various aspects andactivities of the project. The 4th issue of the first year has mentioned some of the views ofthe participants of our College.

Evidence of Success

One of the most outstanding impacts of this project was the conceptualization of theidea of “River Health Index” during the discussions which took place in the Collegein 2009. The concept was proposed by Principal Dr. B. M. Rawal and subsequently itwas carried forward to Narmada Samagra and adopted at core level.

This also led to a corollary idea of creating “Soil Health Card” program at state level(Gujarat). The establishment of soil testing laboratories in majority of science colleges inthe state and thereby creating data bank of soil health card with the Government andstudent’s participation is the significant outcome of this seed concept.

The biodiversities surveyed by our students and other people and the reports of thescientific community together played a major role in deciding about the directions putforth by Narmada Samagra for our conduct with the river.

It had an impact on the discussion which took place during the International RiverFestival at Bandhrabhan. It was decided that 3 to 5 km from the riverbanks on boththe sides should be considered as the catchment area of the river; and we must startthinking on the policy – formation, leadership and framing norms about the river. TheMadhya Pradesh Government had to think on these recommended lines.



Few of our motivated student participants took part in the “Hariyali ChunariYojana” of “Narmada Samagra” and also trained the people in eco-friendly idol-making and immersion during the public festivals.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

As such the people have been aware about such Parikramas as the age-old traditions, thethings were quite conducive. The belief goes that Maa Narmada takes care and looksafter the hardships and needs of all those who undertake the Parikrama. The studentsindeed did not face any major trouble. As an exception, a group got deviated from theregular route for a while as the path was washed away by the flood during monsoon. Butthey were tracked down and asked to take shelter in the nearby ashram where they weretreated with warm hospitality.



Best Practice – 2Learning Centric Initiatives

Goal

The institute has always been zealous to bring into practice new trends in academics. Thethrust of education is generally towards teaching. However, the recent paradigm shift istowards learning centric education. The college has continuously evolved the learningprocess through new initiatives.

The Context

With the introduction of ICT based education the focus is expected to be on using ICTbased teaching and learning aids. Exploring the new learning initiatives in ICT basededucation the faculty members came across the self learning online tools offered byvarious organizations under MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)

The advantages of this new initiative are as follows:

Anytime anywhere learning

Pause and repeat the e-resource

Review the material wherever and whenever required

The e-resource is available online for generations together

Possibility to flip the classroom to interactive learning mode

Re-conceptualization of the educational methods and modes

One can learn at one’s own pace

Instant feedback

Teaching moments are converted into learning outcomes

Practice

Many organizations are offering these online courses to the millions of students all overthe world, for free. Anybody who has an Internet connection and the will to learn canaccess these great courses from excellent universities and get a credential at the end ofit.



At edX and a number of other organizations, these technologies to education are appliedthrough MOOCs to really increase access to education. edX (Education External) is anon-profit online initiative created by founding partners Harvard and MIT. At edX,highest quality courses are offered which are created by schools and partners who sharecommitment to excellence in teaching and learning, both online and in the classroom.

edX offers interactive online classes and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) fromthe world’s best universities MITx, Harvardx, Berkeleyx, Utx and many otheruniversities. The topics include biology, business, chemistry, computer science,economics, finance, electronics, engineering, food and nutrition, history, humanities, law,literature, math, medicine, music, philosophy, physics, science, statistics and more.

Our initiative

The faculty members and students were informed about the existence of such courses andwere motivated to enrol for the enrichment of their knowledge and enhancement of theirskills. Grabbing this opportunity several students and faculty members of our College gotenrolled for some of these courses.

Owing to the orientation and motivation by faculty members a good response wasreceived. A sizable number of enthusiastic students of B Sc (Around 15 Students ofComputer Science) and BBA Program 36 Students enrolled for “Introduction toProgramming” and “Introduction to Statistics: Descriptive Statistics” offered by MITand Berkeley respectively.

Around seven to eight faculty members also enrolled for various courses, viz;“Introduction to Statistics: Descriptive Statistics”, “Introduction to Programming”,“Electricity and Magnetism”, “Solar Energy” and set good examples to inspire others.

Evidence of success

Thirty students and five faculty members completed the “Introduction to Statistics:Descriptive Statistics” course successfully.

Three faculty members from BBA program completed another course in Statistics.

Two faculty members completed the “Electricity and Magnetism” coursesuccessfully.

One faculty member completed the “Introduction to Programming” coursesuccessfully.



One faculty member completed the “Solar Energy” course successfully.

More

Several other students and faculty members have also enrolled for various such ongoingcourses.

The College has provided and plans to extend the infrastructure facility further to moresuch students who desire to take such courses.

Problems encountered and resources required

Not everybody has an access to Internet connection and computer resources anywhereanytime as a prerequisite for these courses. Because of this limitation the full concept ofthese courses could not be realized and internalized in the institute. More efforts wouldbe made to provide the adequate resources to interested learners.



OTHER BEST PRACTICES

1. The system of online admissions has been in practice since 2009.

The online admission system is managed through the college website

All the candidates desiring to apply for the course they are interested inthrough the online admission management system.

With the introduction of the payment gateway registration fees are also paidonline (Students are not required to come to the college)

Merit listing according to rules is done after the last day of form filling anddisplayed on the notice board and on website.

Provisional admission is granted to the students on merit which is finalizedafter the university enrollment

The counseling and guidance are provided to the students aspiring to getadmission in the institute.

2. The ramps at both the ends of the main building are constructed for facilitating thephysically challenged students. The slopes are not very steep so that it is easy toclimb and the care has been taken for not making them slippery by providing thin flatsteps.

3. “Floating Library” has been a very good practice in the institution. The library isrun by the books donated from the students and the faculty members. Once in afortnight the books are displayed in the central corridor near the entrance so that it isvisible and accessible to all. Anybody from the campus is entitled to borrow the bookfor a fortnight. The students and the faculty members are involved in administeringthe process of lending the books. The total number of books keep on increasing andthe interested people get to read free of cost on the variety of subjects, sometimes notavailable in the college library.

4. e-administration through e-mahavidyalaya - software for College administrationdeveloped by the College alumni has brought about many advantages.

5. The Principal is directly accessible to the students, faculties, office staff and visitorswithout any prior appointment. Without any discrimination he gives sufficient time tothe satisfaction of all who approach him for any kind of work. This kind of openness,no doubt, keeps him busy throughout the day but the available time is well managedvery efficiently.



6. A Quotation Board is placed on the main corridor of the College. Inspirationalquotations are picked up by the students and written on the board under the guidanceof a faculty member.

7. “My Space”- a Wall Magazine has been initiated to invite the contributions of thestudents as well as the faculty and staff members. This activity has been launchedsince 2008.

14. Innovation in Curricular Development:

Three faculty members of the College got an opportunity to attend a six days’ workshopon PHOENIX (Physics Homemade Experiments). This UGC’s sponsored workshop isoffered by IUAC (Inter University Accelerator Centre), New Delhi. PHOENIX is anelectronic hardware which is interfaced with computers and using various sensors anumber of experiments in Physics and Electronics can be performed. The hardware andsoftware both are shared as open source and therefore the system is cost effective.

Inspired and motivated from this the Electronics Department of our College has takenan initiative to design a course curriculum entitled “Python Programming andComputer Interfacing” as a foundation course in the final year B Sc program whichhas been passed by the different academic and administrative bodies of the University.This course has been offered since 2010.

15. Innovation by Students

Periodic Table of ChemistryOur college has seven hexagonal soil patches to grow indoor green plants out of whichone was in the front of chemistry lab. Unfortunately, the green plants die in short spanof time due to the fumes coming from the lab. Hence the patch looked barren andshabby.The initiative was taken by the students of Chemistry to utilize the patch in such amanner that it looks presentable and has a theme of chemistry in it. For the same, theteachers were consulted and the faculty members suggested making a huge periodictable in that hexagonal space of 20x20 ft. So, the students started working on the ideaof making the periodic table. But the question how and with what were unanswered.The search for the answers to these questions led them to several discussions andconsultations. One fine day, one of the team members saw square refractory blockswhich were used as crucible. They seemed perfect for the base of each element. And thebest part was that they were industrial waste.Having the answers to their questions, the construction of periodic table was begun. Inthe first stage, the dead vegetation was removed and the land was leveled. The blockswere cleaned, repaired and surfaced with the help of cement. Then background colorsof different periods of the periodic table were given. Now, the names of the element, thesymbol, atomic number and atomic mass of the elements of each of the atom werewritten. But, the consistency in handwriting was very difficult. So, they thought to usestencils. But the stencils of that big size were not available. So, they thought aninnovative idea of putting the tent in appropriate size and font on paper and thentracing it to each blocking carbon paper which was really a delicate job to handle after



which, these outlines were filled using fine brushes. The blocks were placed at theirpositions and the periodic table was made without involving a single mason, withoutinvolving professional painters and without involving labors but with the involvementof the efforts of 3 boys and 5 girls within the time period of 15 days.

The institute has been a centre for the CA exams since 2010. The exams are conductedtwice a year.

16. Special training and coaching were imparted to the students for appearing in CMATand the Staff Selection Exams in coordination with Narmada College of Management.

17. Career counselling and facilitation for registration process and payment of fees aredone for the courses of CS and ICWA.

The members of Narmada Parivar are committed to enhance thequality of the institute by fulfilling the goals of the Vision and theMission statements.

which is the only centre for exam in the region. The language labs in many other colleges

are non functional.

Challenges – Groom the soft skills and spoken communication of the students from the

vernacular medium of instruction.
