Preface

The Sanjivani Education Society, Parbhani established Sant Tukaram

College of Arts and Science, Parbhani on the 15th August 1998. The

college offers BA and B.Sc. at UG level and MA in Marathi, MA in

Geography, MA in Psychology and M.Sc. in Industrial Microbiology

at PG level. In addition to three are also five Ph. D. supervisors in 05

subjects. Thus the college provides students with wide academic

flexibility from undergraduate to research level in Arts and Science

faculties. All the programmes are directed towards realization of our

Mission and achieving our objectives, in keeping with the values of

Sanjivani Education Society, Parbhani, as propounded by its

founders.

During the past few years, research endeavours have been geared up

with increased participation of teachers in research activities like

publications of research papers, paper presentation in seminars and

conferences and few minor research projects being funded by

funding agencies. The NSS and other outreach activities are taking

place in collaboration with some NGOs for more effective and

meaningful community service. These programmes have sensitised

students and provided opportunities for experiential learning. The

college also took consistent efforts to address women empowerment

issues through several gender sensitization initiatives over the years.

The Self Study Report (SSR) includes the Preface, Executive

Summary, SWOC of the institution, Profile of the institution,

Criterion wise inputs, Evaluative Reports of the Departments and

Annexures. The SSR has been shared with major stake holders

including teachers, students and the management at every stage of

its preparation and finalization.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to each and

every individual colleague for their valuable contribution in

preparing the SSR. I would also like to acknowledge the tireless

efforts of the Principal, IQAC members and all seven Criteria In-

Charges, Heads of Departments and all teachers for their support in

our journey towards excellence. The IQAC Co-ordinator, Dr. Pandit

Nirmal has played a pivotal role in propagating quality initiatives in

the college. The team of College office have responded very well and



worked very efficiently in providing data to the IQAC. I am

extremely happy that the entire work of preparation of SSR has

helped in defining policies, strategies, systems and procedures in a

better way to serve as a blueprint for further growth and

development of the college.

d. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective

functioning of the IQAC?

The present students give direct feedback (although in an

informal way) on the academic and infrastructural needs. This

feedback is shared with the Principal and has helped in

enhancing their standard.

e. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from

different constituents of the institution?

The IQAC is responsible for monitoring all the institutional

processes. It helps the Research Coordination Committee in

disseminating information with respect to research schemes,

orientation of researchers and effective operational processes. It

also communicates with the staff and participates in academic

and administrative decision making process.

The IQAC also helps in placement of teachers in appropriate

academic grade pay based on their PBAS+API.



6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for

Quality assurance of the academic and administrative

activities? If ‘yes’, give details on its operationalisation.

The college does not have a structured integrated framework

for quality assurance of the academic and administrative

activities. The Staff including Principal works for all kinds of

academic and administrative activities and helps in quality

assurance of these activities. The various different committees

are formed for specific academic and administrative activities.

6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective

implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If ‘yes’,

give details enumerating its impact.

No such type of formal training is given to the staff. However

the college has developed an efficient coordinating and

monitoring mechanism for the effective implementation of the

quality assurance procedures. Responsibilities are assigned to

individual teachers and departments. Where specific skills are

required experts interaction with both teachings and non-

teaching staff members is organized at institutional level.

6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other

external review of the academic provisions? If ‘yes’, how are

the outcomes used to improve the institutional activities?

Our parent university has its own mechanism for academic

auditing of its affiliated colleges. Every college has to be

audited every alternate year.

6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned

with the requirements of the relevant external quality

assurance agencies/regulatory authorities?

In the case of institution, the external regulatory authority is

SRTM University, Nanded and college makes the compliances

as per their needs and requirements.

6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously

review the teaching learning process? Give details of its

structure, methodologies of operations and outcome?

The College follows all the rules & regulations of affiliating



university and UGC guidelines to maintain the standards in

teaching-learning process. To follow the standards, Academic

calendar is prepared and detailed layout of the teaching plan is

incorporated in the calendar. The tutorials and internal test are

carried out. The answer papers are regularly assessed in time

and the record of marks obtained by students is kept.

6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance

policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal

and external stakeholders?

The college informs its quality assurance policies to the internal

stakeholders i.e. Students, teaching and non-teaching staff

through circulars, Notice Board, College Website & Staff

meetings. The external stakeholders are informed about it

through letters, telephone calls, college prospectus and website.

Feedbacks are collected from these stakeholders and

suggestions are incorporated in the policies. The college

prospectus and magazine publish the Vision and Mission

CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

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

facilities?

No. The College has not yet conducted any kind of Green

Audit of its campus and facilities. We have planted trees

outside the campus by the NSS unit. With the help of this unit

NSS volunteers keep and clean the college campus. We try our

best to avoid plastics and plastic items such as bags, tumblers,

plates and others. College uses the Dust Bin for waste

materials. Campus is free from tobacco chewing, cigarette

smoking

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the

campus eco-friendly?

The college makes special efforts to instil environmental

awareness amongst its students with the belief that

environmental awareness will lead to environmental action.

The initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-

friendly are as follows:

∗ Energy conservation

• There is provision of sufficient ventilation in each and

every classroom so there is limited use of fans, lights in

the classroom

• Staff and Students are advised to turn off lights when

they are not using them.

• Use LED’s to save electricity.

∗ Use of renewable energy

At present there is no provision for use of renewable

energy.

∗ Water harvesting

The college situated in Marathwada region which is

drought prone. Water scarcity compels us to manage

available water resources properly. Hence the college

has established rain water harvesting unit.

∗ Check dam construction



In last four years N.S.S. volunteers build-up two

earthen check dams adopted village.

∗ Efforts for Carbon neutrality

• Parking lots are located close to the entrance of the

college. The main campus of the college has been

declared as ‘vehicle free zone’.

• No vehicle day is observed by the department of

NSS for all the students and staff without any

vehicle after every sixth month.

∗ Plantation

• In last four years, the college has planted few trees

in the campus

• The NSS volunteers have taken the responsibility for

growing the trees.

∗ Hazardous waste management

The college does not offer courses using chemicals and

compounds with high risk of intensity and side effects.

Neither is the use of radio-active substances made.

Therefore, the question of hazardous waste does not

arise at all.

∗ e-waste management

e-waste is hazardous to the environment and health of

people and it needs to be recycled and disposed in

appropriate ways. Every year an awareness campaign

and collection drive is organized by the NSS.

The college follows policy of returning the e-waste of

equipment’s to manufactures through the distributors.

The quantity of e-waste is negligible.

7.3 Best Practices

BEST PRACTICE: I

1. Title of the Practice: Voluntary Blood Donation Camp

2. Goal

• To create awareness among students about blood

donation.

• To promote students to donate blood and maintain social

commitment.

• To motivate and maintain a permanent well-indexation

record of voluntary blood donors.

3. The Context

The main objective is to dedicate every New by organizing the

voluntary blood donation camp. We also believe in nurturing

good social commitments in our students. Our foremost desire in

this regard is to provide a cordial atmosphere for students of

different colleges and the people to donate the blood. Our main

objective therefore is to remove the fear regarding donating blood

among the students. The blood donation camp is an excellent

program for society.

4. The Practice

The NSS unit and Students’ Welfare Committee has been

organizing the blood donation camp since last five years. The

pamphlet, the name of the blood bank, date and time is conveyed

all colleges, blood donors and the people from the city.

Individually the conveners and committee’s members visit to

various colleges and blood donors and request them to

participate in this camp. The day of the camp begins with

registration of participants coming from society and the

Inaugural ceremony begins. The highlight of the inauguration is

the key-note address by a renowned doctor. Also present on the

occasion are two or three donors share their experiences after

donating the blood many times.

The response from the student participants and other donors is

heartening. After donating the blood college provides the

refreshment to donors and blood bank provides the certificate.

4. 05/11/2014 35 New Blood Bank, Parbhani

5. Evidence of Success

The very fact that the camp is still going strong after 4 years

shows not only its popularity but also our social responsibility.

The camp provides the opportunity to all the donors for donating

blood because they know that it is their human duty. Because

many blood banks are running short of required blood. So each

and everyone who is fit for donating blood comes forward to

donate blood as it can make sure to return of a dying man again

into the light of life.

The camp has gained immense popularity and people knew the

importance of blood donation and the idea is being taken up by

many local colleges.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The lack of knowledge and fear regarding blood donation is the

main barrier. The problems such as the mentality of people, the

requirement of minimum age and weight of girls’ students and

the less response from other traditional and professional college

students are takes into consideration.

BEST PRACTICE: II

1. Title of the Practice: Diet Counseling and Family Welfare

Counseling

2. Goal

• To provide knowledge regarding nutritional aspects

irrespective of age and gender.

• To provide counselling for different age group children

and married couples.

3. The Context



Health is prime important thing in everyone’s life. Majority of

people are not aware of scientific information regarding food

nutritional requirement according to age, sex, working pattern,

different stage in life span etc. The reasons behind it may be lack

of knowledge, poverty, illiteracy, ignorance and importance of

diet in human life. The department of Home Science of our

college has started Diet and Family Welfare Counselling in the

year of 2012. Wide publicity has given through local newspapers.

The head of department of Home Science is Ph D in Home

Science and Law graduate and had good experience of research in

Vasantrao Nail Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani.

The knowledge and experience of the head of department should

be useful so the counselling is started.

4. The Practice

The department of Home Science creates awareness among

students about food, nutrition, child development, home

management and clothing textile. During discussion and

meetings with members of various committees of our college,

parents, the thing was coming out that there is need of such

counselling.

5. Evidence of Success

The continuous and constant practice of Diet and Family Welfare

Counseling has resulted into good responses. The following

points reflect its outcome:

1. Development of health consciousness among number of girl

students

2. Development of dietary awareness among students

3. Positive changes in some children who have behavioral

problems.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The students and parents and not conscious about health, dietary

recommendation, body mass index, ideal weight etc. They are not

aware the importance of locally available foods. They do not

want to visit such counseling centers.

7. Notes:



The Diet and Family Welfare Counseling provides information

related RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) by NIN for

different age group as per sex, working pattern. The list of

vitamin sources, minerals and other nutrients is displayed on

notice board of Diet and Family Welfare Counseling.
