1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)

Institutional Strength

Highly supportive management with a sublime vision and noble mission, dedicated and vibrant young pool offaculty and administrative staff , exposure to the call of the society, consistent academia-industry interface withmoorings in cultural and social ethos , coupled with an unwavering commitment to realise its motto of‘Education for Empowerment and Emancipation’ , the college is poised to make a giant leap in progress .Serene, ecofriendly and lush campus make the teaching learning exercises more fruitful and hassle free. Thevarious platforms available in the campus and the channels to connect to the avenues outside the campus withindividual attention through mentor-mentee guiding process invariably add to the strength of the college .Theconstant innovations in the methodologies and techniques of transacting the curriculum in accordance with theneeds of the diverse and heterogeneous student community are obviously the hallmarks worth mentioning.Facilities for extension activities, field trips, computer labs, health and fitness centre, yoga centre, r ICTenabled class rooms and ICT based teaching learning process are the strength of our college. Active studentsunion and Parents and Teachers Association and supportive Alumni lend great courage and conviction in itsthe efforts for providing holistic educational environment in the campus. Amiable yet firm and maturedrelationship among the faculty members and students of the college makes the task of attaining the objectivesof the college easier ,more fascinating and rewarding.

Institutional Weakness

The college being located in a remote , economically and socially backward region, updating to a moreadvanced technology in teaching learning process outside the campus hours is a herculean task. Though someof students are exposed to the various platforms of online classes in office hours ,a considerable chunk of them

Page 3/113 06-04-2019 12:04:54


have less access to the various platforms for virtual learning at home . Paucity of funds for the aided college forthe maintenance of infrastructure also brings handicaps in the smooth gallop in proving best in classinfrastructure in the campus. On discerning this lacunae in implementing the ICT enabled teaching –learningprocess , the College Governing body has taken initiatives to make free Wifi available in the campus ,upgrading all final year classes into smart classrooms with necessary gadgets and converting all second yearclasses in to ICT enabled classrooms apart from giving provisions for accessing online content in the DigitalSection of the Library .

Institutional Opportunity

Both the student and teaching community in the college are with good potential to grow as they possess highcredentials in their academic and co academic activities. The faculty members in the college are youngsterspossessing the good attributes of sincerity, motivation and hardwork. Young and vibrant faculty members arealways set to equip students to face the competitive world and ,at the same time, to mould their wards as thetolerant and responsible citizens. The different platforms like innovation and entrepreneurship cell, research andpublication cell, field visits and internships , training and coaching facilities provide ample opportunities andexposure to grow for both the students and faculty members in the college.The college with unparalleledhuman and infrastructure resources can channelize further studies on sustainable development and offer courseswhich are globally relevant. The dense and remote areas in Nilambur region is also known for the presence ofthe most ancient tribes of cave dwellers called as ‘Cholanaikars’ who have been reckoned as a uniquespecimen of mankind . It offers potential opportunities for the studies and researches in anthropology andethnography that the college can spearhead with its position, status and resources. The hilly areas in the regionare vulnerable to landslides and flash flood causing human causalities in high magnitude. Hence thepossibilities of running customized courses in Disaster Management especially in the context of the floodrelated calamities in the state of Kerala last year may also be explored .

Institutional Challenge

Student dropouts especially of girls has been found to be a institutional challenge both in terms of resource andopportunity. Through the effective intervention of the college through sensitaisation of parents regarding theimportance of higher education and counseling the truant students , the level of drop outs has subsidedsubstantially.As majority of students hail from poor socio economic background ,running self-financingacademic programmes are understably non-viable since it may keep them aloof further from the vicinity ofhigher education. Hence the college finds it extremely difficult to start offering self financing programmes.Constraints experienced by students with respect to the transportation of students from remote and tribal areasalso pose challenge to the college. The study conducted by the college on the socio economic background of thestudents studying in our college has shown that majority of boys are the sole breadwinners of their respectivefamilies and it puts additional burden and responsibility on them.The college has worked out effectivestrategies to channelize their part time jobs making it as a platform for learning and learning and serve thesociety .

Page 32/113 06-04-2019 12:05:18







Response:

Continuous Internal Evaluation System enhances the students’ overall competencies through regularmonitoring and assessment. Amal College of Advanced Studies has been affiliated to the University ofCalicut and it strictly follows the rules and regulations prescribed by the University. To assess the students,the University recommends both an internal and external evaluation system. The College believes firmly incontinuous evaluation of the students for their sustained performance. Hence a structured evaluationprocess has been designed and implemented.

Internal Examinations: Internal tests are prepared and conducted as per the University examinationpattern. At the very beginning of every academic year, the students will be informed about the internal andexternal assessment procedure. A Centralized internal examination and a Department level internalexamination are conducted every semester. Normally within one week after the examination, answersheets are returned to the students and the results are published. The question papers of the exam arediscussed in the class by the respective teachers. Students can approach the College Grievance Cellregarding any complaint about valuation and the same will be taken up by the Committee and necessarysteps will be implemented for rectifying the complaint.

Seminars / Assignments: Other means of continuous assessment and evaluation by the teachers includegiving assignments on topics related to their syllabus and seminars. There is equal weightage forassignments and seminars in the internal evaluation scoring system.

Attendance: Another criteria in the internal evaluation system is the attendance of students. Proper recordsare maintained in this regard. Altogether, Internal Evaluation constitutes 20% of the total score and theExternal Evaluation conducted by the University constitutes 80% of the total score.

Other Methods: Other methods of evaluation include group discussions, presentations, field trips reportsetc. All of which provides firsthand experience to the students. Every department informs the studentsabout academic seminars, call for papers from different journals, management meets etc., and motivatesthem to participate. Various academic programs like quizzes, tests, objective tests, essay writing, andcompetitions on current affairs are also arranged to instill an inquisitive mind in the students and also toevaluate their skills. These procedures boost the self-confidence of the students.

Project Works/ Internship Training: All the final year students are given project works and it isassessed by external examiners trough viva voice. Project-based learning helps students to suggestsolutions to real-world problems and issues. BBA and BTHM students are to undergo industry training fora minimum of three weeks period. CIE provides the teachers with an accurate and complete picture of thelearning levels of students and encourages the learner to use their knowledge on a frequent basis.

Page 33/113 06-04-2019 12:05:18

http://www.amalcollege.ac.in/Uploads/Documents/Internal%20Evaluation%20Mechanism.pdf


Response:

The College conducts the internal examination in every semester for all programs and course as per theUniversity guidelines. The institution has framed its own internal assessment practices to make ittransparent and robust within the broad framework suggested by the University. The College has a two-tiresystem of internal examination. The first is a Centralized examination and the second one is scheduled asa Department level examination. The College has formed an official Internal Examination Cell toconduct the centralized internal examination. A teacher is given the charge as Internal ExaminationCoordinator. All the procedures of examination such as collection and sorting of question papers,planning the time table, allotting class rooms, valuation and the publishing of consolidated mark lists comeunder the responsibility of the College Internal Examination Cell.

Both Centralized and Departmental examinations are conducted in the same format. The Departmentalinternal examinations are monitored by the corresponding department Heads. Both the examinations areconducted for one and half hours and for 40 marks exactly in the format of university exam. The total markof internal assessment is 20. This mark is distributed among the major components of internal assessmentsuch as attendance, assignments, seminars and test papers. The marks which the student acquires in boththe test papers are converted into 5 marks each, making it a total of 10 marks. Then the remaining 5 marksare allotted for attendance and 5 marks for assignments/seminars. Seminar topics are finalized byconsidering the most recent and current developments in the subject. Assignment topics are also based onrelevance and practical applicability of the subject. Attendance is also a major component of internalassessment. Respective teachers take the hourly attendance of the students which is then inspected by theclass tutor and Department Heads every week.

To make the system more transparent dates for internal examinations are fixed by the Internal ExaminationCommittee which consists of representatives from each department consulted with student representativesand is then displayed on the notice board. Soon after the examinations, answer papers are distributed toteachers, which is then valued and returned to the students with necessary discussions, advice, andsuggesting solutions for further improvement. Grievances reported, if any, are resolved with immediateeffect. In most cases, the teacher himself/herself finds solutions to the grievances. As part of ContinuousEvaluation, class PTA meetings are organized periodically to discuss and assess the improvement/progressof students with parents. A three-tier grievance redressal mechanism, at the Tutor, Department and Collegelevel exists. The Head of each department publishes internal assessment marks/grades before forwarding itto the Principal. The Principal after scrutinizing the internal marks forwards it to the University.



2.5.3 Mechanism to deal with examination related grievances is transparent, time-bound andefficient

Response:

Page 34/113 06-04-2019 12:05:18



The College has a well functioning grievance redressal system to address grievances of students related tointernal assessment marks and even grievances related to University results which will be addressed andresolved through this mechanism. There exists a three-tier system for the redressing of grievances ofstudents in respect of internal assessment marks which is regularly monitored by IQAC.

Department Level: The corrected answer scripts are given back to students within two weeks’ time afterthe examination by the respective members of faculties. Doubts and enquiries of the students are clarifiedby the respective teachers. If there are any tabulation related errors in assessment, corrections are dulymade by the examiner and the corrected marks will be officially posted against the name of the concernedstudent. The students are free to approach concerned subject teachers after the releasing of internalassessment marks and they get it clarified if any. After a preliminary correction, the consolidated marks arepublished in notice board for two days and later it’s filed in the respective Departments. If there is anyexam related grievance from the part of students, they are free to give their written complaints to theExamination Grievance Cell functioning under each Department. The complaints must be discussed in theDepartment as soon as possible.

College Level: In case the student is not satisfied with Department level Grievance Cell, he/she can moveon with his/her complaint to the college level Grievance Cell. The Coordinator of Grievance Cell, IQACCoordinator and the committee under the chairmanship of the Principal will discuss the matter and willtake necessary actions.

University Level: The Registrar or the Controller of the Examination makes the final decision with regardto the examination related grievance at the University level.

The College conducts two internal examinations, one is Centralized and the other is Departmental. Aparents meeting will be followed after internal examination in each semester. If there is any discrepancy intheir class room performance and examination performance, the teacher can identify the problem and canfind a solution for it in the presence of their parents. The student’s achievement is discussed in detail. Ifthe problem diagnosed is purely academic the teacher would try to provide the students with a broaderunderstanding of the subject of their study.

Criterion 6 - Governance, Leadership and Management

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership 6.1.1 The governance of the institution is reflective of an effective leadership in tune with the vision

Mission

All the developmental activities of the college are headed by 1. College Council 2. InternalQuality Assurance Cell and 3. Planning and Development Board



6.1.2 The institution practices decentralization and participative management

Response:

Amal College of Advanced Studies follows decentralized governance and hence any decision, planning orresolution of importance is taken by Principal and College Council in consultation with concerneddepartments and student representatives. It is through the faculty members and other staffs of the Collegethat the college functions and caters to the needs of its beneficiaries, and thus making the governancedecentralized. The principle of decentralization is implemented through teachers, students and non-teaching staff.

Case Study

There has been a paradigm shift in the decision making process over the years. Earlier all thedecisions were being taken from top and allotted to different teachers. Result was lack of participationfrom teachers and students. But later the college started practicing a system of giving importance to allstakeholders. Now a system of Bottom to Top Approach is being followed. The practice ofdecentralization is exercised through the faculty members and students are given in charge of importantforums and clubs such as NSS, WDC, ASAP, WWS, SSP, Internal Examination committee, CareerGuidance Cell, Research Committee, Quiz Club, Reader’s Forum, Advisor for Fine Arts and Union, EDClub, Film Club, etc. by which they coordinate the activities. Suggestions which come from students andfrom teachers are put forward in college council by the staff representatives and discussions are carried out.

It helps to review the strength and flaws of a teacher , thereby allows one to lookhonestly into oneself. As it is a process of self-evaluation and self-competence, it imparts quality inteaching learning process. Based on the self-appraisal prepared by teachers, academic performanceindicators are proposed in recruitments and promotion of teachers. The three categories which determinethe API score are:

Category 1 - Teaching, learning, and evaluation related activities

Category 2 – Co-curricular, extension and professional development related activities

Category 3 – Research and academic contributions.

The self-assessment score will be based on these three criteria and the score obtained will be submitted tothe university through a screening committee. The number of teachers of the institution who got promotedto Assistant Professor Stage ll through API is thirteen.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:• Solid waste management • Liquid waste management• E-waste management

Response:

Solid waste management

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W56bG5r1f1G-UDlucT00ux8QLgMSe1iF




Initially the College had constructed two waste pits for depositing solid wastes including food wastes. Asthis proved futile in the long run, the College initiated a tie up with the 'Clean Chaliyar Mission’ ofChaliyar Grama Panchayath in 2017 by which volunteers would collect the solid waste from the Collegecampus regularly. Solid wastes thus collected were later treated and recycled in the waste treatment plantsof the Panchayath. The process had to be discontinued due to technical impracticability. At present, thecollege infallibly manages solid wastes by the waste sorting mechanism, having installed 3 large binsseparately for depositing bio-degradable, recyclable and plastic wastes. The biodegradable wastes are laterdeposited in the bio gas plant from which bio gas fuel is consumed by the Orphanage and the CanteenKitchens. The Plastic wastes collected through the sorting process are sent to the Panchayat wasteprocessing unit.

Liquid waste management

Situated in a rural environment, the College faces no challenges regarding the management of liquidwastes. Two liquid waste pits have been constructed in the campus into which the waste water drains in,helping the water to percolate into the earth and thereby retaining the water table levels in the area.

E-Waste Management: Amal College of Advanced Studies is a green campus and it ensures that ewastes in the campus are zero. College has a tie up with the e-waste collection and recycling unitMOIS Computers at Janathapadi, Nilambur. Moreover exchange systems such as replacing of oldprinter drums with new ones from the vendors themselves are followed as far as possible.



7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM

And the filtered water is used in the CBlock. The rainwater harvesting system of the College comprises components of various stages -transporting rainwater through pipes, filtration, and storage in tanks for reuse and recharge. Thecomponents of a rainwater harvesting system involved in the college are illustrated here

The catchment of the water harvesting system of the college is the surface which directly receives therainfall and provides water to the system. Channels all around the edge of a sloping roof is set to collectand transport rainwater to the storage tank. Channels are supported so that they do not sag or fall off when

Page 92/113 06-04-2019 12:05:48

loaded with water. The pipelines carry rainwater from the catchment to the harvesting system. A filteringprocess is set at the top of the tank. The filter is used to remove suspended pollutants from rainwatercollected over roof. The filter unit is a chamber filled with filtering media such as fiber, coarse sand andgravel layers to remove debris and dirt from water before it enters the storage tank.

Benefits to College

1. Easy to Maintain

First and foremost, the collection offers a better and efficient utilisation of energy resource. It is importantbecause potable water is usually not renewable, thus reducing wastage. The systems used for watercollection is based on simple techniques that are very easy to maintain. The overall expenses used insetting up harvesting methods are much cheaper compared to other purifying or pumping means. Also, itsmaintenance is feasible on the economic front as it does not require deep pockets.

2. Reducing Water Bills

Water that has been stored from harvesting water can be used for several non-drinking purposes. It willimmediately reduce electricity bills.

3. Reduce demand on Ground Water

Another important advantage is that it reduces demand for potable water.

7.2 Best Practices 7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

BEST PRACTICE 1

1. Title of the Practice

UJJEEVANAM - A Comprehensive Tribal Development Project for Palakkayam Colony

Page 100/113 06-04-2019 12:05:53


2. Objectives of the Practice

Ujjeevanam is a tribal upliftment initiative of Amal College to support and serve a tribal colony nearbythe College. As a higher education institution in the locality the college has to perform lot of things to holdup the needy. The Malayalam word “UJJEEVANAM” means "elevate" which means to lift or move to ahigher position.

The Three Major Objectives of Ujjeevanam

Education

To empower children, women; and youth to ensure education.

Employability

To train the people to enhance employability skills and technological skills.

Emotional Support

To provide human support to the tribal people when challenges arise.

3. The Context

As per the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the priority is to eradicate poverty in theWorld. While the number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half between 1990and 2015 – from 1.9 billion to 836 million – too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs.UJJEEVANAM is a conceited and prominent program of Amal College, which support and serve theTribal community. The college is delimited with many tribal colonies with very basic facilities, and themembers are not educated to hack it with present social situations. Lack of proper living facility,educational facility and unhealthy living conditions are the major challenges faced by Palakkayam colony.Exactly as the name of the scheme, our aim is to elevate the tribal community especially inhabitants ofPalakkayam colony which is the nearest tribal colony to our college.

4. The Practice

As part of the initiative, in 2014 student volunteers and teachers visited two tribal colonies. One isin Chaliyar Gram Panchayat and the other one is in Karulai Gram Panchayat. Students were shocked at thepoverty, illiteracy, infant mortality and unemployment of the inhabitants of the colony. Since thePalakkayam colony is in close proximity with the college, it was decided to adopt the village and regularinteractions and interpretations followed from 2014 onwards.

College council held on 4/07/2014 passed the decision of implementing this best practice. A team ofinterested volunteers from all programmes is asked to register to this scheme. There is an organizingcommittee with teacher coordinator to monitor the activities. Three-folded objective of the practice isperformed through various activities:

Educational Support

Page 101/113 06-04-2019 12:05:53


From a survey conducted by volunteers of Ujeevanam scheme, it was identified that there are manychildren in Palakkayam colony who are reluctant to join school. Even if they join school very soon theywill be drop outs. This was the most important issue to be solved. We associated with a tribal schoolteacher Ms Kalyani and started doing activities to change the attitude of inhabitants towards education.During the last five years SIX major initiatives were undertaken to provide educational support.

1.EDUCATIONAL SENSITISATION CAMPAIGN 2.FINDING THE DROP OUTS3.10TH EQUIVALENCY WRITING SCHEME 4.PUSTHAKAVANDI ( MOBILE LIBRARY) 5.TEACH ONE INITIATIVE 6.GUEST TALKS IN TRIBAL SCHOOLS

Employability Enhancement Support

Unawareness and lack of technical knowhow is the main challenge faced by colony inmates tocome out of their shell. Skill oriented activities were conducted for colony inmates which motivates themto take up new employment opportunities . 7 major initiatives are undertaken in this regard.

1.UMBRELLA MAKING AND ARTIFICIAL JEWELLERY MAKING 2.DIGITAL BANKING3.MARKETING OF TRIBAL PRODUCTS 4.OORUKOOTAM BHAKSYAMELA ( TRIBAL FOODFEST )5.AUTO DRIVING CLASS6.TRAINING SESSION ON COOKING 7.E- LITERACY CAMPAIGN

Emotional Support

One of the major challenge faced by us in promoting tribals was their habit of showing reluctancetowards all new things. The basic life style and attitude of tribals is entirely different from othercommunities. We can make changes in them only by making them emotionally stable and independent .The major highlights are

1.AWARENESS CAMPAIGN – HYGIENE CLASS TRAINING2.CROSS SUBSIDY- INSURANCE COVERAGE SCHEME 3.PERSONAL COUNSELING – HOPE4.CULTURAL EVE WITH TRIBES

5. Evidence of Success

This development scheme has got its uniqueness in higher education scenario. Students are given trainingand support to organize socially committed programmes . It’s a unique opportunity of students to improvetheir extra curricular skills as the main agenda of higher education is the overall development of the

Page 102/113 06-04-2019 12:05:53


student. The programme seems to be a success as there has been an improvement in the inhabitants ofPalakkayam colony over the last 4 years.

20 beneficiaries from Pallkkayam ST colony are on their way to the literacy6 students doing graduate degreeEnrolment to mobile library by tribal students has increased over the years.100% insurance coverage10 tribes benefitted from driving classPresently a student from the colony is doing his final year degree in our collegeParticipatory rural appraisal system is adoptedIntroduction of a talking pen to script literacy revolution in tribalsMs Sheeba from Anakolli tribal colony completed Bcom degree from our college .

Apart from this, students of our college have taken this initiative as their own and actively take part in thismission The practice has helped in improving the overall development of our students.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The most important challenge encountered in this regard was transportation problem to tribalcolonies. As part of mobile library students have to go in jeep through trucking roads to reach Palakkayamcolony. But due to the beauty of nature students enjoyed this journey. Non cooperation from the part oftribals to accept the change is yet another problem faced by us. They will cooperate and interact only withpersons who are familiar to them. So in the early stages there was a problem in communication with them.But now as we are regular visitors of the colony things have changed.

7. Notes (Optional)

Since Nilambur is a backward area with lots of tribal colonies, the best practice suits the requirements ofthe locality. Social empowerment initiatives taken by our management is also a motivational factor behindintroducing this scheme. Moreover in this era of competition students should be equipped in all ways todeliver the best to society.

BEST PRACTICE 2

Title of the Practice

Learn Earn Serve – An initiative for Experiential Learning

Objectives of the Practice

The college has introduced an innovative earn while learn initiative named Learn Earn &Serve in the academic year 2015-16. This is an academic - industry interface programme to enhance theknowledge level of students through experimental learning. This is a comprehensive programme for theoverall development of the students. The specific objectives of the practice include

Page 103/113 06-04-2019 12:05:53


Promote the habit of earn while learn among studentsCreate a sense of responsibility and service attitude among the teenagersExperience the practical lessons of human resource managementPractice accounting, banking and financial management with real life transactions

The Context

The present system of higher education envisages more on imparting theory basedknowledge rather than providing practical exposure. Students gain knowledge from theory papers but veryoften they don’t get chance to learn from experience. Higher education institutions and regulatory bodieslike UGC specify the relevance of conducting participative and experimental learning methods by whichstudent can learn while doing. There comes the relevance of our best practice “Learn Earn and Serve”. Asmajority of students in our college are from rural background this new practice of learn earn and serve willhelp them to earn while learn. The structure of the practice is framed in such way to inculcate a sense ofsocial consciousness among students. Hence the practice is having three fold effects. It addresses thechanging attitude of new generation students towards work, responsibility and social service.

The Practice

Recent reports on India’s higher education emphasized the need for employability of graduating studentsfrom the college. It is quite true that fresh graduates coming out of the colleges are not straightawayemployable in the present jobs offered in the corporate sector. It is because of the loose relationshipbetween academics and industry. There is an urgent need to strengthen the linkage between industry andacademy. Similarly the gross enrolment ratio of rural villages of our country is significantly lower than thenational average. The fundamental reason for the drop out of students from higher education can bedirectly attributed to poor financial background of the rural and village people. Keeping this unique needof the country in mind, the college has perceived it in a wider perspective and shaped its best practice toinclude three broader aspects such as learn, earn and serve in the programme.

The scheme was introduced in 2015-16 through the college council held on 25.05.2015. Mr. Hafees V Kfrom the Departmnet of Tourism and Hotel Management and Mr Abbas Vattoli from the Department ofCommerce and Management were identified as teacher coordinators for the programme. The teachercoordinators have the responsibility to arrange professional training and certification to the interestedstudents.

Selected students will be given two day intensive training in catering and event management. Identity cardswill be issued to the students who successfully complete the training.

Hoteliers, Event Managers and Caters contact the coordinators for availing the service of our trainedprofessionals for catering and event management work. A consolidated amount will be charged from theclients. The remuneration for the students will be immediately paid to the concerned students and surplusfund will be deposited in the social welfare fund maintained for this purpose.

The college has taken up various social projects including house construction, house repairs, kidneypatients assistance, cancer patient treatments etc out of this fund. Three major activities

Professional Training to studentsSupply and Management of service volunteers

Page 104/113 06-04-2019 12:05:53


Funding social responsibility projects

The practice is unique in terms of the professional training facility and competent resource persons whichare available in house and at free of cost. The college was able to design and deliver training programmeswhich are according to the latest trends in the industry. And the practice beautifully combines three majorgoals of education such as learn, earn and serve.

Evidence of Success

The number of students joined in the scheme has shown a slow but steady increase over the last four years.It indicates the positive result that the scheme has delivered to its beneficiaries. The beneficiaries of thisscheme have opened up their minds before their teachers regarding the financial support that they haveenjoyed out of this programme. The most noted point here is that none of the participants had a feeling likeworking rather they felt like play with their friends. On this aspect the scheme was fully successful forassisting financially backward students without affecting their dignity.

Five of the senior volunteers of the scheme have started event management and catering companies of theirown by taking input and experience from the scheme. Such successful entrepreneurs have acknowledgedthe role of this programme in their journey towards success. The scheme has triggered a culture of startupsamong the students.

This innovative experiential learning initiative has contributed to the enhancement of employability ofstudents especially Tourism and Hotel Management students and there by resulted in a reasonable increasein the placement obtained for our students.

The college was able to fund few social projects like house construction, assistance to patients etc duringthe last three years The scheme is viewed as a sustainable source fund that are internally generated by thecollege without depending on contributions from students for funding unavoidable social causes in andaround the campus.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The major challenge faced by the college in connection with this practice is how to ensure adequatenumber of volunteers for the scheduled programmes without affecting regular classes and examinations. Inorder to manage this crisis, students are properly spread across different discipline and semesters. Similarlybooking are accepted only for short term schedules and only for minimum number of students at a time.Selection of students to this programme also pause challenges in terms of reaching the scheme to the rightset of students. To ensure most deserving students in the scheme proper investigation has been conductedthrough class tutors before including students under this scheme.

Another challenging task of the college in connection with this practice is that of assessing the outcomes ofthe scheme. In order to evaluate the outcome and make improvements in terms of training content, outdoorexposure and event management, the college conducts regular feedback collection and analysis.

Notes (Optional)

Even though students have large number of part time job opportunities other than THIS, we havefound special interest in students to be part of this scheme. Students from all programmes are given charge

of various elements and hence there is a sense of unity and team work among students. We have foundstudents feel it as a learning and extension activity conducted by the college rather than a part time jobundertaken for making money. The social service element of the programme also found to be a proudreason for being part of this venture. The college decided to continue the scheme with improvements in thearea of professionalization of the practice.

and thrust

Response:

Orphan Quota- the institutional distinctiveness

Amal College of Advanced Studies is the only College in the Nation that reserves 20% out of its totalseats to students who are orphans. This is a distinctive practice implemented by the College since itsinception in 2005. Being a College with minority status and situated in the backward locality of Nilambur,

the Management of Amal College of Advanced Studies realized the necessity of uplifting and providing awindow of opportunity for the orphans, destitute and the weak by comprehending the social climate of thelocality. For this, incessant efforts were taken by the Management to get sanction from the higherauthorities for converting the community reserved seats of the College (20% of the total seats) into orphanreservation category and the result was a promising future for hundreds of students who would have,otherwise, been deprived of any opportunity for Higher Education. This 20% reservation to orphanedstudents is in addition to the existing reservations for SCs, STs and BPL students in the College. Theallocated Community reservation seats for the College is thus converted into Orphan Reservation categoryand preference is given to the orphan students. If seats remain vacant even after the last orphan candidatefrom the application list is admitted, those seats in orphan reservation category are allotted to studentsunder Community Reservation.

Outcome:

The candidates who are orphaned are admitted to the reserved seats through a process in which eligiblestudents are identified through the criteria laid down by the College and ratified by the university. Thestudents who have thus got admission to the reserved orphan seats have successfully completed theirstudies and are working in various fields as well as pursuing higher studies. It helps promote and fulfill theAmal Vision of developing the students to face challenges of the time and to shoulder responsibilities ofthe community service and Nation building, thereby becoming ideal Citizens. This distinctiveness of AmalCollege of Advanced Studies, by the process of uplifting an orphan through education, in turn, serves toimprove the socio-economic status of the related family members and other dependants consolidating theirsocial ,cultural and financial capitals , thus materializing the vision of learning in an environment ofcompassion and inclusivity.
