Weaknesses of the Institutions are:

Space constrain for further academic expansion

Requirement of smart classrooms

There is a severe shortage of permanent faculty and non-teaching staff.

Severe shortage of laboratory attendant in the lab-based departments.

As the institute has no autonomy, it can make little or no contribution in the sphere of curriculum

designing and modification.

The NSS volunteers regularly lead campaigns to prevent use of polythene and polythene products

in the college campus.

It also enlists the support and co-operation of its NSS Units to create awareness of environmental

hazards and of the urgent need to keep the environment clean green and pollution free.

Various energy conservation strategies are adopted in the campus like minimal

use of lights, fans and AC.

To generate environmental awareness among the students, final year students (according to C.U.

Tree plantation programme were organised in collaboration with Axis Bank.

√


Some of the academic departments are suffering dearth of students for reasons yet to be ascertained.

Lack of space for classrooms and infrastructural facilities in laboratories along with excessive class load

which acts as a deterrent to faculty research.

Opportunities of the Institution:

There is an opportunity to collaborate with nearby colleges for sharing of resources.

More social extension programmes could be taken up.

Campus recruitment initiative could be strengthened.

The very high demand ratio for most of the subjects enables the college to select meritorious

students in successive years.

Examinations may be held in separate building leaving classrooms free for holding classes.

More institutional memberships may be obtained.

Value education and Health awareness programs for students including seminars, workshops

and NSS activities.

Transform administration into an environment friendly paperless technology based unit.

To ensure regular research activity for the Faculty members by enhancing the number of

research proposals for collaborative work with other research institutes and industry.

Library could to automated.

Challenges of the Institution:

To attract students to a college like ours by offering them not merely a graduate degree, but

also opening up parallel avenues of knowledge and more importantly, career options, in the

form of soft skills development through short term professional courses.

To create more space is one of the major challenges that the college has to deal with a sense of

urgency.

The other challenge involves getting permission from the Government to fill up the vacant

posts of the administrative support staff.

To strive for even better results in the University Examinations and reduce the number of

dropouts.

Accommodating a large number of students against the limited infrastructure available in the

college.

Sustenance of Administrative services due to shortage of non-teaching staff.

Arranging Campus Placements and other employment opportunities for the students.

Generating resources and creating reserve funds for maintaining day-today activities of the

College and annual maintenance of sophisticated instruments in the laboratories.

The pace of upgrading infrastructure is not commensurate with increase in students’ uptake as

directed by the affiliating University.

Complete grooming of students through academic programmes and extension activities to

motivate them to remain focussed in their vision of achieving their goals despite political,

religious or socio-economic biasness.

Annexure ii BEST PRACTICE

Practice #1 Title –Solid & E-waste Management & Practice

Objective – To create awareness about the environment among the students of the college. Some

awareness campaigns were done in the college and within the campus.

The Context - Since most of our students hail from socially and economically backward

background, we have observed a general lack of awareness about the environment amongst them.

The Practice-

Solid waste management practice followed in the college by separately biodegradable and non-

biodegradable waste by the NSS members. Kitchen (canteen) waste converted to bio-fertiliser

and use at the college garden.


We preserved the disposable electronic gadgets (e.g. Computers, Monitors and peripherals etc.)

in a particular place and the disposal of the same is done annually as per rule.

Evidence of Success – Today, our campus is greener compared to many campuses in the

surrounding areas.

Resources Required – Resources required continuing the effort.

Problems encountered – None

Practice #2 Titles –Energy conservation by switching off power outlets

Objective –To create awareness about energy conservation among the students and also to save electricity

bills.

Context: Fuel and energy conservation strategy has to be implemented for every institution.

Practice:

The college authority in consultation with the students’ union initiated the practice of power

conservation. Students were asked to take initiatives regarding Energy conservation by

switching off the power outlets. Class representatives were given the necessary instructions to

lead groups of students to participate in the programme over a period of time during the peak

session of the college.

One main switch for each class room was installed and the students were directed to switch off

those main switches when classes are no longer in progress.

The office personnel of the college were given the instructions to check and verify if all the

main switches in all class rooms were properly switched off. The staffs were entrusted with the

job of securing all the class rooms properly under lock and key.

Evidence of Success – Monthly electricity bills of the college showed reduced consumption thus

providing financial relief as well as facilitating power consumption.

Resources Required – Resources required continuing the effort.

Problems encountered – None
