2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admissionprocess and

studentprofiles annually? If ‘yes’, what is theoutcome of such an effort and how

has it contributed to theimprovement of the process?

There is a mechanism in the college to review the admission process and student

profiles. Annually, theAdmission Committee reviews the admission processfor

admission to the B Com and M Com courses each year and assesses the profile of

students. Such reviews help mainly in analyzing the basic trend of students taking

admission to the B Com and M Com programmes offered in the college.

The admissions for courses conducted under the Management Department are given

solely by centralized admission process by DTE, Mumbai (in case of MBA) and

Solapur University, Solapur (in case of BBA and BCA). The institute has no direct

involvement in the admission process.

For all courses under Management department, the students have diversified academic

background. Therefore, analysis of students on the basis of their academic stream and

academic performance is done to understand the mix of the class and accordingly plan

bridge up modules for students having newer subjects in the curriculum.

With respect to MBA, there are two divisions of 60 capacity each. The enrolled

students are analysed by stream, location, college, gender, etc. to ensure equal

distribution of students of all profiles in both the divisions. The same analysis also

helps in planning bridge modules, English improvement language lab sessions,

formation of activity groups, etc.

Findings of the Admission Committee in last few years and the actions

taken there upon are as below:

At B. Com. Part I level forms are scrutinized by the committee members to study the

profile of students in regards to choice of medium of instruction(English or Marathi)

and subjects opted. Divisions are allotted to students on the basis of the medium of

instruction and the subjects opted by the students. This has resulted in student

satisfaction as they find themselves comfortable to study and understand in the

language which they are comfortable with.


52

Additional division of 50 students was started for M.Com.-I on the recommendation

of admission committee based on the demand from the students and parents in the

year 2011-12.

As per the recommendations of the admission committee, we have converted the B

division of B. Com. Course as a division in which the language of instruction is both

English and Marathi.

As per the recommendations of the admission committee, we have started an

additional division at FYJC and SYJCleveloffering an integrated course in which

regular course teaching has been integrated with CA CPT teaching from 2015-16.

The Admission Committee also reviews the number of applications received.In view

of the demand supply ratio the college initiates timely correspondence with the

University for additional seats. After getting the final sanction from the university,

additional students are admitted.

Prior to the commencement of admissions to Part II and Part III level, the Result

analysis committee analyses the results to find out the passing percentage of students

and if required, request is sent by the College to the University for Additional Student

Intake.

request 10% additional intake from the university.

As regards MBA, there have been ups and downs in the students seeking admission

due to external factors such as increased complexity in admission process,

misconceptions regarding career opportunity, increased number of institutes offering

the course, etc. In spite of above factorsthe institute is mostsought after by MBA

as creating awareness among undergraduate students regarding MBA and career

prospects, providing support regarding admission process schedules, online activities

such as form filing, option form filing, etc., and counselling students regarding


56

pursuing higher studies, especially MBA. This has resulted in increased confidence

working of the particular industry or role so that they can use this knowledge for

better performance in examinations as well as during the selection processes.

In view that no student should drop his/her education for short of money, all faculty

of our college has initiated Teacher Sponsored-Student Aid Fund (TS-SAF), in which

each faculty contribute some amount that is distributed for students’ academic needs

so that students stick to their education. In addition to above scheme, the college also

Committee, Various National & State Level Academic Bodies, University &

Education Boards, Professional Bodies, Department Level Committees, and

Organizing Committee Members. These members work in consultation with the

Principal & Head of Department forms several committees of staff to look into and

improve the system in the Institute. The committees formed are such as timetable

committee, disciplinary committee, welfare committee, cultural committee, etc. The

Management encourages and supports the involvement of the staff for improving

system, bringing out effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional processes.

Management has also encouraged forming a Local Managing committee. There are


198

interactions between the staff and the Members of the Management, as and when

needed, regarding academic and administrative matters.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

Leadership qualities are entrusted in Faculty, office staff and students. Each faculty is

given some sort of responsibility to handle academic, extra-academic and

administrative work of the college. Various college level committees headed by

coordinators and represented by other faculty members are formed to look into

various matters for smoother functioning of college.

Teachers work as coordinators, members, delegates, representatives, participants,

advisory and in-charge members in college, university and professional bodies.

Faculty members are deputed as resource persons and experts in various forums. Non-

participation in use of softwares for database management.

College level forums such as Student Council, youth festival, NSS, NCC, Arts Circle,

Competitive Examination cell, commerce association, Career Guidance cell ,&

Literary Association offer right platforms for providing leadership skills. In most of

these committees, students take some lead as coordinators. Students are encouraged to

participate in visits, carry out surveys, various research work, seminars, competitions

etc. to inculcate in them leadership skills. Our college conducts annually many events

to sharpen their skills such as student’s research work presentation through annual

seminars, MBA association activities, soft skill training sessions and one day

workshops etc

administrative activity is done under the supervision of the Principal, Management

Department Head and Heads of various committees.

The committees are set up at the outset of the academic year and the Conveners and

Members are informed on their respective committees, the roles they are expected to

play during the year. The Conveners call periodic meetings and ensure smooth


199

functioning of the committees. The Principal governs and manages the work of the

committees by engaging meetings to assess the performance regularly

6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational

autonomy to the departments/units of the institution and work towards

decentralized governance system?

Autonomy is the heart of successful governance. Our college has given necessary

administrative and academic autonomy to each department.

timely completion of curricula, use of various pedagogical methods, autonomy

to departmental research work, internal examinations and conduction of

student activities.

and effectively implement assigned work and are put for final review of

Principal before implementation.

Autonomy to Student Representatives: Student representatives work in

coordination with staff and are given freedom to express and implement their

ideas in various literary, cultural and social activities. Most of the extension

activities are successfully executed by student members under the supervision

and guidance of teachers.

Autonomy to Office Superintendent: Office Superintendent is given autonomy

to supervise smoother functioning of office administration, student support

system in office, timely delivery of scholarships etc. He is responsible for

maintaining data pertaining to University, Higher Education Department and

Autonomy to Librarian: Librarian is given autonomy to design , develop, and

update the library as per needs and suggestions given by students, teaching

Principal of the college delegates the authority to the Head of Management

Department providing the Administrative and Operational autonomy to the

department. Department head delegates the authority to run out the operations,

policies and procedures in college concerned to academic curriculum by

formulation and implementation of policy and plans in the college. Students are

involved in various college committees and are given responsibilities in college level

activities.

Staff members are represented in Local Managing Committee (LMC). Most of the

higher level academic, administrative and establishment decisions are taken by LMC.

Faculty are represented as members in Governing Council and Governing Body of

Shri. A. P. D. Jain Pathashala and also as members in Credit Co-operative Society run

under the aegis of Trust.

CRITERIAVII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

The college has taken multiple initiatives in taking action based programmes for

conservation of nature and natural resources for sustainable future. Green auditing has

helped us in taking a stock of available resources within the campus and assessment

of usage of resources. The process serves as a tool for making judicious decisions on

how natural resources are currently utilized, where they are wasted and scope for

improving judicious usage of resources and actions to be implemented for fine tuning

the need based analysis of resources.

Green auditing initiative was taken as a case study by staff and students. Expertise

from life sciences departments of our sister institute Walchand College of Arts and

Science has been taken to implement various criteria. The auditing process was

completed in following three steps.

Step-I: - Preaudit Initiatives: This step involves scope for conduction of green

auditing in college campus.

Step-II: - Auditing Process: This involves conduction of actual auditing of resources

under categories such as-Energy Auditing, Water Auditing, Air Auditing, Land

Auditing (floral and faunal diversity) and Waste Auditing. The outcome of this step is

recommendations that need to be implemented for better conservation and usage of

resources.

Step-III: Post-audit Analysis: College (Internal Green Audit Team) reviews

environment related initiatives that are implemented and the effectiveness of the

process in bringing positive change in reducing, reusing and recycling of resources.

The outcome of this step is a Green Audit Report that is submitted to the college

along with proofs of outcome that have been achieved and steps for further

improvements and finer recommendations and eco-friendly practices for future

implementation.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-

friendly?


225

The college has taken many steps to inculcate a sense of belongingness to surrounding

environment and its conservation. Students of many departments are encouraged to

take action based initiatives that involve them directly in creating environmental

consciousness within and outside campus.

Some of the programmes that were organized in this direction are listed below.

I. Water Conservation: Department of Geology of Walchand College of Arts

and Science has successfully implemented a model for maximum recycling,

reuse and recharging of water. The staff has taken into account landscape and

physiognomic features of campus area while implementing the model. The

model is implemented for entire campus and it involves following steps:

a. Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting: This involves catching of rainwater from

rooftop of college buildings. The system implemented is as follows:

Catchment of rainwater from rooftop;

Transportation of rainwater through water pipes or drains or downtake pipes;

First flush and filter with mesh to restrict floating material, silt, leaves, other

organic matter etc.,

Filteration through brick masonry filled with pebbles, gravel and sand;

Storage and recharging of borewell;

b. Open Space Rainwater Harvesting: Rainwater from open space is recharged

through various kinds of structures to ensure percolation of rainwater into

ground instead of draining away from surface. The college has employed

following methods.

Recharging of Borewells: The rainwater from girls hostel is recharged through

borewell near hostel

Percolation through College Ground: The rainwater from Main Building

No.01 is diverted to playground and is completely submerged during rainy

days. This allows for sufficient percolation to recharge groundwater.

Recharging of Dugwells: Rainwater from south-east side of Main Building

No.1 and Biotechnology Department is diverted through constructed water

channels to existing open well after passing it through filteration beds filled

with stones, pebbles and sand.

Percolation through Recharge Trenches: Trench are excavated and filled with

porous media like pebbles, small brickbats, silt etc. along with the walls of


226

water storage tank for harvesting surface water run-off. This also enhances

percolation of rainwater into nearby borewell. The recharge trench is of size 1

to 1.5 meter deep.

Recharging through abandoned borewell: Abandoned borewell within

Biotechnology campus is also used for water recharge.

In addition to above mentioned measures we have also ensured water conservation

through following measures:

a. Reducing flow rate of water at sinks in laboratories, canteen and other places.

b. Reducing the number of taps in toilets, canteen and mess.

c. We propose to plant more number of drought resistant plants within campus.

d. Our staff and students are encouraged to bring their own steel bottles to carry

drinking water to minimize use of bottled or pouched water. This also reduces

plastic waste generated within college campus.

II. Energy Conservation:

Use of CFL and Fluorescent Tubes: The College uses energy efficient bulbs

like Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) and Fluorescent Tubes within the

campus area to conserve energy.

Switching off lights, fans and keeping computers on energy save mode: A team

of non-teaching staff is deputed to shut off fans, lights and computers

unattended by anybody in classrooms, laboratories and offices.

Our students and staff are actively involved to switch off electrical items when

not needed.

Power options are set to ‘power down monitor’

III. Use of Renewable Energy:

Installation of Solar Panels and Solar Water Heaters: Solar panels and Solar Water

Heaters are installed at Boys and Girls hostel.

IV. Efforts for Carbon Neutrality:

Tree Plantation: Trees were planted bordering ground and in the space across

chemistry and student reading room.

Use of single sided printed papers: Our College is practicing use of one-side

blank pages for printing of drafts, notes, notices etc.


227

Restriction for Vehicle Entry towards Main Administrative Building and

Greening of Parking Zone: Staff and student vehicles are not permitted to

enter towards main administrative area to reduce vehicular emission as the

area has been declared as ‘Silent Zone’. Parking zone is added with more trees

to neutralize emission of CO2, Particulate Matter and reduce noise pollution.

Printing: Setting, reduced paper margin, double sided printing, use of e-mail

for submission of documents and avoiding getting print of e-mails, Collection

of previously used one sided paper in central location (Computer Department)

and keeping stock of one sided paper near printer for recycling, Eliminating

unnecessary printing of handouts through sharing of pdf documents and where

possible meeting agendas are provided electronically and minutes are taken

electronically.

V. Tree Plantation: Tree plantation drives were held in college campus and

saplings were planted bordering ground, near cycle stand and in the space

betweenmain building and Chemistry lab of Walchand College.

VI. Waste Management: The College has undertaken following activities

under its policy of Zero Waste and Plastic Free Campus.

Annual ‘Campus Cleanliness Drive’ on the eve of Independence and Republic

Day and Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan.

Solid biodegradable waste generated in college campus and college canteen is

recycled weekly in ‘Vermicomposting Unit’. This is the most successful

project and large quantities of high quality vermicompost have been produced

for use within the campus. Recently, our management has installed a machine

to convert canteen and mess waste for use in vermicomposting.

Our canteen mostly uses reusable cups, dish-wares and utensils.

Staff and students are instructed to use reusable items like carrying their own

steel water bottle, steel tiffin box etc. to discourage purchase of

bottled/pouched water and plstic-wares.

VII E-waste Management:

Computers, Printers and other Electronics are separated out and arranged for

e-waste pick up by private agency.


228

We have eliminated use of all personal printers and recently shifted to a

shared, networked print environment at Computer Department to save money

and reduce unnecessary toner and paper use.

We go for refilling ink cartridges, printing on both sides of a page, using

digital files etc. to save resources and cut down costs involved.

We have eliminated paper usage through many means e.g. e-sharing of books,

ppts and notes, avoiding printing of emails and other documents unless really

necessary; proofreading documents before getting final prints.

Placing e-waste collection drop-box at appropriate places.

VIII. Activities held in college campus on sustainable development, eco-

mission etc.:

The students of M. B. A. visit schools and explain the students about environmental

issues and importance of environment protection.

Our college celebrates various days annually to focus on issues of Science,

Environment, Sustainability etc. Some of these are World Population Day, Ozone Day

etc.

Dr. B. N. Kamble participated in Kirloskar-Vasundhara Festival organized for

creation of environment awareness.

b. To emphasize personal relationship, based on trust and confidence;

c. To develop periodic conversation with student to understand their problems

and issues;

The context:

In a fast changing world with a constant demand from parents and society for

academic achievements and other stresses, the students live in a world of utter


230

confusion and tension. Looking at the need to provide them moral support and give

them a proper direction for prosperous future we felt a need to initiate mentoring

scheme for character development of the student through personalized education for

holistic development of students.

The Practice:

a. Under this scheme, a mentor who is a member of the college staff is assigned

with 25-30 meritorious students each and personal relationship, based on trust

and confidence is built between the mentor and the student through periodic

conversations.

b. The mentors’ task is to take a direct and personal interest in each student’s

academic development through periodic meets with student and parents.

c. The mentoring system is a sort of home-college collaboration. Based on the

mentoring, parent of the student are regularly informed about students’

progress their behavioural lapses by sending letters to their students.

d. Counseling and direct help is offered to the student for his academic, personal

problems.
