The college ensures that the University Curriculum is followed in the best of the spirit. The curricular and extra-curricular activities are planned in the beginning of the academic year with the active involvement of the faculty members. The Principal and the faculty make sure that the curriculum framed by the university is supplemented in such a way that it reflects the Mission and the Vision of the college What are the efforts made by the institution to modify, enrich and organize the curriculum to explicitly reflect the experiences of the students and cater to needs of the dynamic employment market? The well qualified teachers of the college make efforts to see that the implementation of the curriculum is done in such ways that the students get trained to face the highly competitive world of job market. Discussions and interactions with students and a perceptive study of their socio economic background help to identify their educational needs. These needs are taken into consideration by our teacher while curriculum is designed because almost all the teachers of the college are the members of the Board of Studies in their respective subjects. 16

37 The SCOPE Classes, seminars and lectures by subject experts, educational tours organized for experiential learning are some of the outstanding and result yielding efforts made by institution to enrich the existing curriculum. The use of IT in form of internet facility, LCD projectors and computers facilitate the effective implementation of the efforts made by the institution Enumerate the efforts made by the institution to integrate the cross cutting issues such as Gender, Climate Change, Environmental Education, Human Rights, ICT etc., into the curriculum? Though we have to follow the university curriculum, the cross cutting issues like Gender, Climate Change, Environment Education, Human Rights, ICT etc, find an ample space when it comes to applying them positively into the curriculum. The college with the financial support from the UGC and other academic bodies such as Gujarat Sahitya Akademi organizes state/national level seminars on the issues like women empowerment, Dalit Consciousness, Aspects of Old Age, etc. College teachers from across India participate in these seminars and exchange their views regarding these issues. A paper on environment education is a part of the First Year BA curriculum. In the first year Compulsory English Paper, there are chapters on Environment. Similarly the college offers computer as an Allied Subject. The computer centre offers computer related courses. Thus the students get ample opportunities to learn the latest technology which can help them make a better future. 17

38 1.3.4 What are the various value-added courses/enrichment programmes offered to ensure holistic development of students? Moral and ethical values Employable and life skills Better career options Community orientation Literature is a sole means of constructing and developing national identity. The curricula of Hindi, Gujarati, Sanskrit & English are designed in that direction. Social Sciences analyze the national problematic situations and provide true national reality. The Board of Studies frame the curriculum and the core values are being taken care of at the time of revising the syllabus. In the Interdisciplinary Subjects, the university has introduced a paper Cultural Heritage of India. This paper focuses on the importance of moral values and ethics in man s life. The college offers Functional English as an allied subject. The college runs a SCOPE centre which aims at developing students proficiency in English language. The computer centre offers computer related courses. The study of English and computer provides the students better career options. The various extension activities undertaken by NCC, NSS and CWDC, make the students aware of their duties and responsibilities towards society Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum? We have informal Parents-Teachers Association, Alumni Association and a counselling cell and these are the platforms which help us in interactions with the stakeholders. The feedback from stakeholders help in improving the curriculum and to make sure that we are on the right path as far as the market 18

39 needs are concerned. For example, Suggestions by the faculty are given to the Board of studies which in turn reflects in the change of the curriculum How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes? Majority of our students are from rural background and poor socio-economical levels. To support our efforts our institute invites visiting faculties and experts, from almost all the walks of the life. Our Annual activities are planned and structured in such a manner that, we can cater to our goal of Academic, Intellectual and Social development. This is positively reflected in the quality of our teachers because majority of them are not only academically active but they are also invited as experts, interview committee members, and for exam-works. Institutional activities are not our job but our mission is the general belief of everybody on our campus. Everybody is trying to offer the best, so that, by doing our job we can achieve our mission. The college has formed various committees to monitor and evaluate the quality of its programmes. These committees function under the direct monitoring of the principal. The feedback from the stakeholders is also obtained for the purpose. 1.4 Feedback System What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of the curriculum prepared by the University? Curriculum is the central factor in the teaching learning process. The college is affiliated to Sardar Patel University, so it follows the rules and regulations of it. The institution takes the following steps for curriculum development: The content of the syllabus and the ideas of course content are conceived from the U.G.C. guideline itself. 19

40 Almost all the faculty members of the institution are the members of the Board of Studies in their respective subjects. The faculty members of the concerned department frame the course curriculum and put up before the Board of Studies for approval. The syllabus which is approved by the Board of Studies is put up before academic council for approval. Finally the syndicate and the senate of S. P. University approve the syllabus. Feedback from students and peer faculty is generally obtained before restructuring the syllabus. The faculty members enjoy considerable freedom and flexibility in designing the curriculum according to the needs of the society and students. They aim at imparting value added, globally relevant education Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and stakeholders on Curriculum? If yes, how is it communicated to the University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes? Feedback is required for constant monitoring and change in curriculum. During the academic year the teachers have informal meetings with students where they discuss the themes related to the curriculum and get feedback from them. Even at the end of each academic year the college gets feedback from the students in writing in the form of questionnaires. In the meeting of Alumni Association and parents association the faculty members discuss this issue and get the comments and suggestions. The principal analyzes the feedback and gives suggestions and comments, and even it is reported to the Board of Studies by the faculty members. 20

41 1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/ programmes?) In the last five years the institution has not introduced any new programme or course. However, the Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University Centre and our computer lab run many courses. So while reading for the BA degree, our students can also join any of these courses which offers them better job opportunities. Sardar Patel University has given us approval to offer BA programme in Mass Communication and Journalism. This programme will be offered to students from the academic year The Somnath Sanskrit University, Veraval has given us approval to run its centre in which we will offer Yoga related training courses including Diploma in Yoga from the academic year Recently we have submitted our proposals to UGC for B.

42 CRITERIAN - II TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION 22

43 CRITERIAN - II TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION 2.1 Student Enrollment and Profile How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process? Our institution has been facilitating higher education to students since However, the institute ensures wide publicity to the admission process in the following ways: The prospectus of the institution gives information about its vision and mission, objectives, the subjects offered, the fees and the main activities of the college. Through advertisements in local news papers and local TV channels. The college has its own website too. Our Management Shri Ramkrishna Seva Mandal arranges a programme every year in which the students who have appeared in the H.S.C. Examination are invited and given information regarding various courses/programmes offered by the colleges managed by Shri Ramkrishna Seva Mandal. Since ours is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education, the past students of this college advice their own children and the children of their relatives and friends to get admission in this college. The morning time of the college is convenient to working men and women, and married women. We have an Admission Committee which performs the role of Counselling Committee during the admission process. During the admission along with the merit and marks of the students, this 23

44 committee assesses the aptitude of the student and accordingly, the admission is suggested. The lists of the students getting admission are displayed on the notice board. The students are admitted as per the quota allotted by the Government for various categories like S.C. (07%), S.T. (14%), O.B.C. (27%) etc. Thus, there is total transparency in the admission process. The students who come to the college for admission after a gap after passing the Standard XII examination, they have to present an affidavit Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex. (i) merit (ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies and national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test or merit, entrance test and interview (iv) any other) to various programmes of the Institution. No common admission test is conducted for admission. So far as the admission process is concerned, we have to follow the University and the Government rules and regulations. We have merit based admission system. The students, who have passed Higher Secondary Certificate Examination at first trial with minimum 50% marks, are given admission in the beginning. Admission below 50% is given depending on the availability of seats. For the students belonging to the categories of SC, ST, OBC and differently-abled, their seats are filled up as per the rules of the government. No admission test or entrance test is conducted Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission at entry level for each of the programmes offered by the college and provide a comparison with other colleges of the affiliating university within the city/district.

If yes what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process? We do not have a formal mechanism to review the admission process and student profiles. But after the completion of admission process, the principal takes an overview of the whole process. Then in a meeting with the staff, he 25

46 shares this information with the faculty members. Later on this information is communicated to the management. If major variations are found in the number of students in the subjects offered by the college, the students are provided proper counselling and thus the number of students in each subject is balanced. The activities of students are closely monitored. A record of their performance in all the fields, academic as well as extra-curricular is maintained. The students, who bring laurels to the institution, like in the academics, sports, extra-curricular, or other similar areas, are duly rewarded. As a result of this process, in the last five years, the college has observed a sharp rise in the students maintaining discipline. They have learnt to channelize their energy, their potential into more constructive activities Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National commitment to diversity and inclusion. SC/ST OBC Women Differently abled Economically weaker sections Minority community Another All students are given admission irrespective of their caste, creed or religion. For admission process, we follow rules and regulations of the Government of Gujarat and the Sardar Patel University. An admission committee is formed by the institution which conducts the whole admission procedure. 26

47 The State Government provide scholarship to the SC, ST, OBC and physically challenged students. The minority students are given scholarship by the Central Government. However the number of the girl students getting admission in this institution shows that girl students prefer this college to any other college imparting higher education in this area.

Programmes Number of Number of Demand UG applications students admitted Ratio : : : : : :1 31

52 Reasons for Decrease The university has introduced the choice based credit system with semester system since the academic year The university offers BA external programme also. In the external system a student has to take three examinations for the BA degree while in the semester system he has to take six internal examinations and six university examinations for the same degree. As a consequence, many students prefer external BA course to the regular CBCS BA programme with semester system. This is a major reason why there is a decrease in the students admission in our college. All the colleges in the university face the same problem. The second reason for the decrease is the poor Higher Secondary Examination results in the last few years. Actions Initiated by the College for Improvement The college, on its part, is taking action for the improvement. It ensures qualitative and value-based education at affordable cost. The teaching as well as non-teaching staff of the college is always willing to help the students in case they need any. Our management also facilitates every attempt which enables quality improvement. The college has sufficient infrastructure with ICT facilities and good learning ambience. Our NSS, NCC, CWDC and cultural, Placement units are very effectively contributing towards social services. 2.2 Catering to Student Diversity How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled students and ensure adherence to government policies in this regard? We identify the special needs of the differently-abled students by consultation and satisfy them. There are 5 differently-abled students in our college this year. The administrative office and library are on the ground floor. Even during the examinations special sitting arrangements are made on the ground floor for such students. The ramp facility is available on the ground floor so that they can reach their classrooms easily. All the members of teaching and administrative staff are 32

53 always ready to help them in case they need any. Such students are specially helped in making the Government scholarships available to them Does the institution assess the students needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If yes, give details on the process. At the time of admission in the college, student s past academic performance is taken into consideration and s/he is given advice regarding the subject that may suit her/his aptitude. This work is generally done by the admission committee constituted by the college. The members of the committee give them a kind of informal orientation which proves to be quite helpful to the students What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Addon/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? The students select the subject which they have already studied at school. Thus, there is no need to devise formal programmes to bridge the knowledge gap of the students. However, extra lectures and remedial classes are arranged by the teachers if necessary How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.? We arrange various awareness programs and organize activities related to such issues. The college has a separate guidance and counselling centre for women students named C.W.D.C. It was formulated in C.W.D.C. to prevent sexual harassment. Women students have an easy access to her for redressal of their problems. We have an active CWDC in our college. It conducts a number of programmes on various gender related issues. 33

54 Smt. Ashaben Dalal, the president of Jagrut Mahila Sangathan is invited to deliver lectures on the conditions of women in society and women empowerment. Women students are provided guidance from time to time. In order to help them becoming self reliant jewellery making classes and sewing training classes were conducted by the C.W.D.C. The institution has earned a good reputation among women students due to its discipline, security and separate seating arrangement so it attracts women students for admission. The college organized Gender related radio-talk on Why the celebration of Balika Year? way back in 1990 and recently the institute organized a U.G.C. sponsored seminar on Women Empowerment. The institute organized programme of Darpana Academy Hum, Ahmedabad in which street plays on Dowry, Female infanticide, Save the Girl Child etc. were presented. Our management also arranges programmes on various gender related issues such as rallies, various competitions etc. A rally was arranged to protest against the increasing number of rape cases in the country. In the syllabi of almost all the subjects offered in the college the books dealing with the issue of women s position in the society are included. The college NSS unit organizes workshops on food preservation and Products of Small Scale Industry for the women students. Our college organizes various programmes and lectures which help in creating consciousness for the values among the students. The management arranges programmes like Yoga Training for the staff and students. 34

55 Consciousness regarding social accountability, awareness of their duties as citizens, awareness regarding social problems and community orientation is instilled, especially by activities of NSS and NCC. The College SC/ST Cell takes care of the problems of the SC/ST students. However an atmosphere of equality prevails in the college and as such there are no issues to be redressed by the Cell. With the purpose of making students aware of the issue of Environment the Sardar Patel University has introduced a paper on Environment as an interdisciplinary subject for the First Year students from June The college has a lush green campus. We observe No Petrol Day every year. Apart from this the College NSS Unit organises programmes such as Tree Plantation, Cleanliness Drive (including programmes on Our Prime Minister s Clean India campaign), etc. with a view to sensitizing students towards the environment they live in. There are environment based chapters in the First Year Compulsory English Course book. While discussing these chapters in classrooms, the teachers get an opportunity to spread awareness among the students on issues like importance of trees, water, dangers of pollution etc How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/l earning needs of advanced learners? The teachers discuss the topics in the class rooms and then ask subject-related questions to the students. Thus, they identify advanced learners. Internal examinations and semester end examinations also help the institution identify advanced learners. Thus, the teachers identify advanced learners by their classroom performance and their performance in the examinations. Besides, we have in our institution a Counselling Cell. The teacher counsellor is able to identify enthusiastic students who are eager to learn and facilitate them with appropriate environment. The advanced learners are appreciated and encouraged to achieve greater heights. Such students are encouraged to do 35

56 extra reading, participate in classroom discussion and make presentations. They are encouraged to take active part in the co-curricular activities and thus given exposure. For example, every year students are sent to take part in various competitions organized by other institutions in subjects like Gujarati, Hindi, English, Economics and Sociology etc. Such advanced learners are given medals, awards and certificates for their performance in the curricular and cocurricular activities How does the institute collect, analyse and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)? At the time of admission, category mentioned in the admission form by students helps the college to identify the students and they are counselled by office persons and teachers to get financial support from government through various scholarships. For the problems of SC/ST students SC/ST Cell has been formulated in the college. We identify the special needs of the physically challenged students by consultation and satisfy them. The administrative office and library are on the ground floor. Even during the examinations special sitting arrangements are made on the ground floor for such students. The peons are instructed by the principal to help such students in case they need any. For girls we have an active CWDC in the college. Special care is bestowed on slow learners. Extra classes are arranged for them. They are provided with reading materials. They are shown the answer books of the advanced learners for their academic development. They are also given special counselling. They are given assignments and are asked to repeat the answers after the advanced learners. Almost all important topics are revised. 36

They are also given guidance about subjects and class-rooms. Students are informed about the dates of internal tests and University Examinations, well in advance. Re-test for the students who have missed any of the internal examinations is conducted after the internal examination is over. The results of internal tests are given in the class rooms. Internal examination mark sheet is attached with the hall ticket for the Semester end examinations. The Semester end examinations are held by the university and the results are published in the news papers. Out of a total of 30 internal marks, students have to score 12 marks in the internal exam.

We have in our college highly qualified teachers. Moreover, all of them are very quality conscious. The state Government is not sanctioning new posts over a period of time. But our Management appoints ad hoc teachers and bears the expenses of their salary to see that the students have not to suffer due to the Government policy. These ad hoc teachers are handsomely paid and they are given increments too. Highest qualification Permanent teachers Professor Associate Professor Assistant Professor Male Female Male Female Male Female D.Sc./D.Litt Total Ph.D M.Phil PG Temporary teachers Ph.D M.Phil PG Part-time teachers Ph.D M.Phil PG

65 2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three years. Our college offers only BA programme. Whenever there is scarcity of faculty the Management appoints ad-hoc teachers to cope with it and bears the expenses of their salaries. In order to keep its faculty updated with the new trends in the field of teaching-learning, the institute encourage them participate in state/national level workshops and seminars and conferences organized by other institutions. Teachers are sent on duty leave and are some times given TA/DA and other benefits to upgrade their knowledge by participating in such academic events. The institution also organizes such seminars. During the last six years, many of our teachers have participated in number of state level, national and international level seminars and workshops. The teachers are also encouraged to undertake research work. Due to all these teacher centric facilities and efforts, the institution has well qualified faculty Providing details on staff development programmes during the last four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in enhancing the teacher quality.

At the end of each academic year the students are given 48

69 feedback forms in which they evaluate their teachers. The principal makes an analysis of such forms and makes suggestions to the concerned teachers for the improvement of teaching learning process. To add to the motivation, Self Appraisal is done every year, which is giving the details of the faculty s performance in the areas like, classroom teaching, research and publications and other extension activities. The college in local TV channels and newspapers regularly appraises the outstanding achievers as well as on the college notice boards. Apart from this, the achievements of the teachers are publicly felicitated and appreciated by the Management. 2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders the institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes? The Stakeholders of the institution i.e. students and faculty members and even the parents of the students are informed about evaluation process by giving general instructions mentioned in the prospectus of the institution. The periodic instructions issued by the affiliating university are promptly communicated to the students. The faculty members read the instructions even in the classrooms and copy of the same is also displayed on the students notice-board. Students are clearly made aware of the eligibility conditions required to appear in the final exams. They are informed of the criterion of the internal assessment. The evaluation is the integral part of teaching learning process. So, the institution makes effective arrangements for the smooth application of the rules about the evaluation processes. The college has developed a proper mechanism for this purpose. From time to time staff meetings are also conducted concerning evaluation process. Evaluation of the students learning and study is transparent, continuous and pre-planned. Being an affiliated college, we have to follow, the Semester End Examination method. 49

70 There are two exams in each semester- Internal exam and the final University (External) exam. The Internal exam carries the weightage of 30 marks. For the students it is obligatory to pass in the college internal exams. Then and then only s/he is eligible to appear in the annual University exam (70 marks). The evaluation work, in the External exams, follows the Central Assessment method What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own? The University has implemented semester system since academic year As per the University guidelines we have one internal test and one University examination in each term. The internal examination is of 30 marks in each paper. In the University examination the question paper is of 70 marks. The university has an Examination Reforms Committee which suggests reforms in the examination patterns from time to time. We have to follow the guidelines of the university in this matter. Apart from this the college examination committee takes care of the thing that the examinations are conducted fairly How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own? Being an affiliated college, the institute strictly follows the University norms and guidelines for conducting semester examinations. The College Examination coordinator and the Examination Committee monitor the examination and ensure the smooth conduct of the examinations in the institution. The University Flying squad teams visit the College and during the examinations. 50

71 The university follows central assessment system for evaluation of answer papers of semester end examination in the Gyanoday building of the university. For any doubt and complaint regarding examinations and their redressal, there is simple facility, the student can apply for rechecking and reevaluation. If a student is not satisfied with his result in the first Reassessment, s/he can apply for the second Re-assessment Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system. With a view to bringing about a positive change in the evaluation practices, the institution adopts both formative and summative methods of evaluation. Formative approach to evaluation includes: Monitoring student s behaviour Revision lecture after completion of each chapter Class tests Presentation by the students Seminars Group discussions with the students Question Paper Solving Compulsory attendance The evaluation through these approaches gives a lot of information about student achievement after teaching a particular unit. The concerned teacher may get some direction about the student and necessary steps regarding her/his improvement can be pondered over. 51

72 Summative evaluation Summative evaluation is carried out in two ways- Internal Examination and University Examination. The College conducts Internal Test for each subject in each semester. As far as External evaluation is concerned, the affiliating university conducts examination at the end of each semester. The combination of Formative evaluation with the summative evaluation of our college gives a positive impact on students learning and help to improve their overall personality Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigour and transparency in the internal assessment during the lase four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioural aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.) The institution follows the transparent internal examination process. The continuous progress of the students is a well-planned, keenly monitored and objectively evaluated mechanism. So far as the internal assessment is concerned, we have to follow the rules and regulations of Sardar Patel University. The university question paper is of 70 marks. 30 marks are allotted to internal evaluation. The college has to arrange internal examinations. If a student is not satisfied with his result, he can apply for re-assessment. In some such students are shown their assessed answer books. For the students who cannot appear in the internal examination, Retest is conducted What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students? The graduate attributes are those abilities and qualities that a graduate will have, in addition to one s disciplined knowledge. These are the desirable capabilities that the college expect from the students in order to translate and apply their disciplined knowledge to new contexts after graduation. Students 52

73 are the future leaders of the nation and the world. Graduate attributes are the qualities that prepare graduates to be responsible citizens of the nation. The graduate attributes of the college are: Providing communication skills Providing thorough knowledge of the subject Providing computer skills Leadership qualities by training the students in NCC and NSS Personality development programmes by career guidance cell Proficiency in English language Apart from all this, the students are provided additional life skills for inclusive growth of the students. All these skills are additional to their disciplined knowledge. It is the earnest endeavour of the college to ensure that our students not only get degree for which they have enrolled but in the process they acquire proficiency in their subject. Also, the effort is to make them all-round individuals who are educated not only academically but sensitized towards social issues and committed to do their bit for the nation. The college ensures the attainment of these by the students by encouraging maximum possible participation of them What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level? In the internal examination, after assessment, the internal marks of the students are given in the classroom. Then their marks are displayed on the notice board to ensure transparency in evaluation. All grievances regarding evaluation, including the marks given to the students are redressed by the college before sending it to the University. Re-checking and Re-assessment is 53

74 possible. In the university examination a student who is not satisfied with his result can demand reassessment. If the result of the first reassessment does not satisfy her/him, the option for the second assessment is also available. ATKT is allowed up to the Fifth Semester Student performance and Learning Outcomes Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If Yes give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these? The vision and Mission of the college clearly state the learning outcomes. The college prospectus states our Vision and Mission very clearly. The prospectus is also an admission document which guides them about the culture of the college, learning environment, teachings strategies and evaluation patterns which clearly bring out learning outcomes. Every year after the admission process is over, an orientation programme is arranged in which the new entrants are welcomed and given clear cut instructions about the course, rules and regulations of the institute and learning objectives of the course. The teachers constantly guide the students to follow right path and achieve the personal and professional goals Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and performance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide an analysis of the students results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered. The progress and performance of the students are continuously monitored by the principal and the teachers. The bright students as well as the slow learners are provided personal counselling. We try to know their problems and try to help them in every possible way. The results of the last Five years: 54

Teaching diary for continuous monitoring of every faculty deliverance Guest lectures, seminars and conferences are arranged on topics to enrich the curriculum. Field visits relevant to curriculum. Exclusive attention to sports students, slow learners and differentlyabled students by tutoring and mentoring. There is one internal examination in each semester. The test marks are analyzed and students are given necessary advice. Each student is exposed to class-room presentation on the topics of their learning. This helps them to organize their ideas and the presentation skill. Students are encouraged to develop their communication skill through class room discussions. Student oriented seminars are organized every year. 57

78 2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social and economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude developed among students etc.) of the courses offered? Placement agencies are brought on our campus. The institution is approached by different entrepreneurs for recruitment of their staff. Campus Interviews are organized. The multi-national and national companies come for Campus Interviews and select students from the college for job. The institution encourages and develops entrepreneurial skills among the students through the activities of N.S.S. and C.W.D.C. In the annual camp of N.S.S. the training programmes for food preservation (preservation of pickles, tomato catch up, snacks etc.) and the products of small scale industries (Vaseline, balm, face powder, soap, shampoo, phenyl etc.) are organized. The C.W.D.C. organizes classes for Jewellery making, making toys, swings, flower pots decoration, Mahendi, best from waste, handicraft for home decoration such as Arti, bowl painting, show piece, wall piece, etc. Sewing training classes are also conducted by the college. Apart from this the computer centre of the college, run many computer related courses for the students. Such trainings equip the students for their future. With the knowledge of such skills they become self dependant. They have not to depend on government jobs for their livelihood. For the development of research aptitude among the students, students oriented seminars are organized every year in which our students participate and present their papers. The students are also sent to other colleges for participating in the seminars organized by other colleges. Apart from the regular classroom teaching, expert lectures are arranged. 58

79 2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyse data on student performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning? After the university exam results, the results of the college students are collected from the Official Records (OR). A special meeting at the beginning of the semester is arranged and every department is given results year/semester wise, sometimes subject-wise and papers-wise comparison with: Other departments Other colleges Previous year/ semester Total 1 st class Weak areas The discussion, explanations and strategies are devised in this meeting and communicated to the concerned department in the presence of other departments. Performance in internal tests, semester end examination results, feedback from students and employment rate are used as tools to measure the achievement of learning outcome. The teachers identify slow learners and find out the reasons for their low performance and render necessary help to overcome the barriers of learning. The Principal offers suggestions to the teachers to adopt certain strategies to improve the students performance. If the result of evaluation and feedback reveals any barrier to achieve the desirable learning outcomes, required measures are taken How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes? Learning outcomes are monitored through analysis of class performance and internal as well as external exams as far as academics are concerned. A record is maintained by the various committees regarding student participation as 59

196 CRITERIAN VII INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES 176

197 CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES 7.1 Environment Consciousness Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? We have no formal mechanism for Green Audit but the college makes all possible efforts to make our campus eco-friendly. We have a lush green campus. Our gardener takes care of our campus plants and trees. We have also a botanical garden in the campus of our sister institute Anand Pharmacy College. The NSS unit of the college arranges tree plantation programmes and our staff and students participate in them. Even during the NSS annual camps the tree plantation programmes are arranged. Our college regularly organizes poster making, slogan making and essay writing competitions with a view to spreading awareness regarding environment. With the purpose of making students aware of the issue of Environment the Sardar Patel University has introduced the subject Environment for the First Year students from June What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco friendly? Energy conservation: We have in our college separate sitting arrangement for boys and girls during leisure and free hours. It helps to conserve power since lights and fans in class-rooms remain switched off during that time. The classrooms are spacious with many glass windows and doors which provide sufficient light and free circulation of air. This also helps us in energy conservation. Use of renewable energy: Not applicable Water harvesting: We have our own tube well for water. Water is stored in the tank for daily use. Check dam construction: Not applicable 177

198 Efforts for Carbon neutrality: Our campus is lush green with full grown trees and well kept garden. This makes the ambience very natural. The greenery in our campus plays a significant role in neutralizing carbon lode in the atmosphere of our campus. Secondly, every year, we observe Save Environment Day on which the staff members come to the college either on foot or riding on bicycles. Cleanliness of campus is maintained. Plantation: The NSS unit of the college arranges tree plantation programmes and our staff and students participate in them. During the NSS annual camps also the tree plantation programmes are arranged. Hazardous waste management: Not applicable E-waste management: Not applicable 7.2 Innovations Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college. The college has introduced the following innovations which have created a very positive impact on our college functioning. We organize inter-university students oriented seminars every year. Publication of book of selected research papers presented in the seminars with ISBN. Encouraged teachers to carry out Minor Research Project from UGC funding (3 Minor Research Projects Completed after the first NAAC visit. One Minor Research Project is ongoing.) (Details are mentioned in the Post-accreditation Initiatives.) Those who completed Minor Research Project are encouraged to carry out Major Research Project. (A proposal for the Major Research Project is submitted to the UGC by one of the teachers.) (Details are mentioned in the Post-accreditation Initiatives.) 178

199 Encouraged teachers to register for Ph.D. ( 9 faculty Completed their Ph.D. after the first NAAC visit. 3 faculty are pursuing their Ph.D.) (Details are mentioned in the RAR) 5 teachers of the college are recognized Ph.D. guides. Entire college campus is Wi-Fi. With a view to making girl students self-dependant Sewing Training Classes are conducted. As a part of women empowerment Best Challenger Competition is arranged for the college girl students. 7.3 Best Practices Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page.) which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college. The following two best practices of the college have greatly contributed to the achievement of the Institutional objectives and have contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities of the college. Best Practice No.1 1) Title of the Practice Organising Seminars This is one of our best practices. Our college has a very good tradition of hosting State/National level Seminars. It gives insight into a particular teacher s 4 Ps : Planning, Practices, Programs, Performance. 2) Goal To provide an opportunity to faculty members and to update their research and pedagogical skills is our goal behind organising these seminars. We provide them an opportunity to participate and present their research papers in these seminars and exchange knowledge and ideas. The subject expert lectures are 179

200 arranged. The faculty members explore the research aptitude. This helps greatly to the growth and development of the students also. 3) The Context It is necessary for the faculty members who are involved in teaching students at college level to upgrade their knowledge and skills. With this thing in mind our college decided to organise seminars almost every year. The UGC provides financial assistance for such purposes. Every year, the college sends proposals to the UGC for organising seminars. After receiving assistance from the UGC, we organise one-day or two-day national level seminars. Some times we receive funds from the State Government, Sahitya Akademi and our Management. Most of the seminars organised by us are multi-disciplinary. Some times they are for a particular subject. Scholars across India participate in these seminars in great strength. Such seminars enhance the academic and intellectual environment in the institution. They enable the faculty members to update their research and pedagogical skills. 4) The Practice Through this practice we could provide platform to our college teachers as well as to other teachers from the national level. Every department turn by turn became the host of the National Conference/Seminar. Every teacher presented research papers and was a very active member of the Executive Committee of the practice. This practice gave a very fertile and dynamic platform to all teachers. Our college has, after the first accreditation, organised total 11 seminars. We have also published the ISBN numbered books of the selected research papers presented in such seminars. Up-to now we have published 7 books. For funding we could procure funds from UGC, State Govt., Sahitya Academy and our own Management. 5) Evidence of Success This practice not only brought out the potential of our teachers but it improved our teaching-learning abilities and it enhanced our college academic reputation 180

201 also. Our staff members improved their research aptitude, coordinating skills, leadership and teachers at least in this part of the country. Visiting delegates, Experts and Research Persons also consider this as a Best Practice, which motivates our college to perform better for the next Seminar. This practice keeps our academic, administrative, and research potentials agile and motivated. It gives us chance to interact with the academic fraternity as well as the experts and resource persons regularly. This practice has helped us to maintain our academic bench-mark and boosted us to move towards academic excellence. This practice has improved our image as a college with academic accountability and academic social responsibility. 6) Problems Encountered and Resources Required The UGC and other academic bodies provide us financial assistance for organising seminars. But this assistance is insufficient. For organising seminars, especially two-day seminars, more funds are required. However, in such cases our Management helps us and provides us required funds. Secondly, due to the newly implemented CBCS System, there are two university examinations every year. So it becomes difficult to fix the dates of the seminars which would be convenient to college teachers across the country. The teachers participants do not find sufficient time to prepare research papers to be presented in seminars. 7) Contact details Name of the Principal: Dr. Neena Sharma Name of the Institution: Anand Arts College, Anand City: Anand Pin Code: Accredited Status: B grade with 2.81 points( ) Work Phone: Website: Fax: Mobile: aac.anand@yahoo.co.in 181

202 Best Practice No.2 1) Title of the Practice Teacher s Diary This is one of our best practices. The teachers in the beginning of the academic year prepare planner to cover the syllabi within the time frame. The teachers write lesson diary to keep the record of the covered course. 2) Goal To record what a teacher has done in the classroom. The written record of the topics discussed makes it convenient for a teacher to reflect on them later. When he reflects on the covered topics, he may come across some new ideas for future lessons. 3) The Context It is necessary to keep record of the syllabus covered by the teacher in the classroom. Sometimes it takes for a teacher more than one lectures to complete a topic. The diary helps teachers to plan their lectures and the syllabus to be covered in the classroom. 4) The Practice In the beginning of the year, a meeting of the principal and IQAC Coordinator is held in which the teachers are provided diaries and are asked to record in their diary the topic they discuss in each class. At the end of every week, teachers have to submit their diaries to the principal. The principal checks every teacher s diary and puts her signature. In case of any query, she calls the concerned teacher to her cabin and talks with her/him. If required, she makes some suggestions too. At the end of each year, these diaries are finally submitted to the college. 5) Evidence of Success This practice keeps our teachers active and motivated. If a topic remains undiscussed, it comes to the notice of the teacher while she/he goes through her/his diary. It also inspires her/him to do some activities and to make the 182

203 class more interactive rather than one-sided teaching. This practice enables the teachers to plan their lessons and enables them to complete the syllabus in stipulated time. 6) Problems Encountered and Resources Required Some times it so happens that one or two teachers do not understand the importance of keeping diary. They find it boring and meaningless. But in such cases the Principal talks to them and discusses with them its importance. As a result, all the teachers regularly maintain their diary 7) Contact details Name of the Principal: Dr. Neena Sharma Name of the Institution: Anand Arts College, Anand City: Anand Pin Code: Accredited Status: B grade with 2.81 points( ) Work Phone: Website: Fax: Mobile: aac.anand@yahoo.co.in 183

277 Post-accreditation Initiatives 257

278 4. Post-accreditation Initiatives The NAAC Peer team visited our college in the academic year The impact of NAAC Accreditation on our college is very positive and it is promoting our college to be on the road-map of academic excellence and quality consciousness. The Peer-Team Report really helped us to improve our academic performances as well as it motivated our Staff members to improve teaching-learning quality and the institutional growth. The Peer-Team Report made total 12 Recommendations/ Suggestions. We strictly followed the Peer-Team s suggestions. On the basis of peer team recommendations following steps had been taken for quality enhancement and sustainability in post accreditation period: 1) The first recommendation of the Peer team was that the library should be fully computerised. Today the college library is fully computerised with SOLE 0.2 software installed in the computer of the librarian. The details of all the books are available in this computer. There is a computer for the students in the library. With the help of this computer the students can know whether the book s/he wants is available in the library or not. In the college there is a separate Computer Centre. We have total 53 computers in the computer lab, not only having internet facilities but our entire college campus is Wi-Fi enabled, so that all students and teachers can avail this facility free of cost, on their laptops and mobile phones. There are 9 other computers for academic and administrative purposes. 2) So far as the matter of restricting the class strength to manageable size is concerned, it is a part of the State Government policy and the college is unable to do anything in the matter. However, taking attendance in the classroom is a regular practice of the college and as such students regularly attend the classes and so absenteeism is not a problem with us. 3) In one of the classrooms and in the seminar hall we have installed public address system (microphone) as per the recommendation of the NAAC Peer team. 258

279 4) The college has sufficient infrastructure with ICT facilities and good learning ambience. As per the suggestion of the NAAC Peer team we have renovated the classrooms on the ground floor, the seminar hall and the staffroom. We have a well equipped computer lab. Our seminar hall is ICT enabled. 5) One of the recommendations of the NAAC Peer team was that the timings of morning programmes should be extended or approximately rescheduled to provide adequate scope for students to use facilities such as library and computers and also participate in extra-curricular activities. The college timing is from 7.50 am to pm. This timing is for classroom work. The library remains open up to 2.20 pm while the computer lab is open till 5 o clock in the evening. Because of this the students have sufficient scope to use these facilities. So far as extracurricular activities are concerned, when such activities are scheduled, the college remains open till late in the evening and the services of the teacher in charge of the activities are also made available. Our college makes optimal use of the infrastructure facilities. Under-graduate classes are arranged in morning while B.S.W., M.S.W., Disaster Management, B.Lib., M.Lib. and M.A. programmes are run by the management in the same building in the afternoon shift. 6) One of the recommendations of the NAAC Peer team was that the research activities should be improved and all teachers without Ph.D. should be encouraged to register for Ph.D. There were only three teachers in the college who had completed their Ph.D. at the time of the first NAAC accreditation. After the first accreditation there is very remarkable development and change in the field of research in the institution. Now we have nine Ph.D. degree holders in our staff. Our college research work during last 5 years is as listed under: 259

280 Ph.D. Completed: 1) Dr. Suresh Gadhavi (Dept. of English) 2) Dr. Paresh Parmar (Dept. of Sociology) 3) Dr. Padma Patel (Dept of Gujarati) 4) Dr. Premchand Korali (Dept. of Hindi) 5) Dr. Harita Joshi (Dept. of Hindi) 6) Dr. Harish Makwana (Dept. of Sanskrit) 7) Dr. Jitu Khaniya (Dept. of Psychology) 8) Dr. Bhavna Prajapati (Dept. of History) 9) Dr. Ashwin Sharma (Dept. of Psychology) M. Phil. completed: 1) Ms. Mital Macwan (Dept. of English) 2) Ranjit Bhoi (Dept. of English) Registered for Ph.D. : 1) Mr. Subhash Virola (Dept. of Sociology) 2) Ms. Mital Macwan (Dept. of English) 3) Mr. Devshi Zapadiya (Sports Director) Five teachers of the college are recognized Ph.D. guides. Three teachers have completed their Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Neena Sharma. At present, four researchers are working under her guidance for their doctoral research. Four researchers have completed their Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Gunvant Vyas. Six researchers are working under his guidance for their doctoral research. Five researchers are working under the supervision of Dr. Suresh Gadhavi for their doctoral research. Dr. Premchand Korali and Dr. Paresh Parmar have recently been recognized as Ph.D. guides by Sardar Patel University. 260

281 7) The NAAC Peer team also suggested that collaborative programmes be introduced. To improve English language of the students, the college offers the state government endorsed and supported programme SCOPE through DELL. This programme is in collaboration with the Cambridge University, UK. The college runs the Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University Centre in which BBA and BCA Programmes are offered. The college Computer Centre offers computer related Courses approved by Gujarat Knowledge Society (GKS). The college undertakes various extension activities in collaboration with Divya Seva Foundation, London, Inner Wheel Club, Red Ribbon Club, Lions Club, JCI, and Jagrut Mahila Sangathan. With a view to introducing job oriented courses such as Hospitality Management & Catering Technology, Software Development & System Administration, Renewable Energy Management and Greenhouse Technology, we have signed MOUs with the following industrial units: (1) Paritosh Residency Pvt. Ltd., Khandhali (2) Hotel Subha Elite, Vadodara (3) Maven Infosoft Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad (4) Vipson Solar Energy Private Limited, Anand (5) M.S. Holidays(M.S. Education Consultant), Anand (6) Desktop Creators, Anand 8) The NAAC Peer team had recommended that teachers should be encouraged to take up minor/major research projects from various funding agencies. At the time of NAAC Accreditation in 2008, there was no UGC Minor project with our college. At the time of Re-accreditation our college has already completed 3 UGC Minor Projects and 1 UGC Minor Project is ongoing. We are awaiting the approval for two more Minor Research Projects. 261

282 UGC Minor Research Projects Completed during last 6 years: 1) Dr. Neena Sharma ( Dept. of Hindi) 2) Dr. Suresh Gadhavi ( Dept. of English) 3) Dr. Gunvant Vyas ( Dept. of Gujarati) The ongoing UGC Minor Research Project: 1) Dr. Premchand Korali ( Dept. of Hindi) The following teachers have sent their proposals to the UGC for the Minor Research Project: 1) Dr. Paresh Parmar ( Dept. of Sociology) 2) Prof. Jeram Vaghela (Dept. of Economics) Dr. Suresh Gadhavi (Dept. of English) has submitted his proposal to the UGC for the Major Research Project. 9) One of the recommendations of the NAAC Peer team was to introduce career focussed add on courses with the financial support of the UGC. As per the recommendation of the Peer team, we had sent a proposal to the UGC for add on courses. Unfortunately, we could not get any financial support from the UGC for the same. However, we tried in our own way to do something in the favour of the students. The steps we took in the matter are as under: To improve English language of the students, the college offers the state government endorsed and supported programme SCOPE. The college runs a centre of Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University in which BBA and BCA programmes are offered. Sardar Patel University has given us approval to offer BA programme in Mass Communication and Journalism. The college will offer this programme to the students from the academic year The Somnath Sanskrit University, Veraval has given us approval to run its centre in which we will offer Yoga related training courses including Diploma in Yoga from the academic year

283 Recently we have submitted our proposals to UGC for B.Voc Programme(4 courses), Community College Programme(4 courses) and coaching classes for various competitive examinations such as GPSC, UPSC, NET and SLET. 10) The NAAC Peer had suggested that teachers should be encouraged to present research papers in national/international seminars/conferences and publish in refereed journals. During the period after the first accreditation the teachers of the college participated in 14 international, 102 national and 152 state level seminars/conferences/workshops and presented total 224 papers in them. The number of the research papers of the teachers of the college published in referred journals is articles written by our teachers have been published in different books. At the time of Accreditation there was only 1 book published by the college, but at the time of Re-accreditation the college has published total 7 books. Following are the details of the books published by our college: 1) Indian Dalit Literature, 2011, (Ed.), Beena Mahida, ISBN Sarth Publication, Anand 2) Social Aspects of Old Age, 2012, (Ed.), Beena Mahida, ISBN Darpan Prakashan, Vallabh Vidyanagar 3) Future of Humanities and Social Sciences in Globalized World, 2012, (Ed.), Beena Mahida & Neena Sharma, ISBN Darpan Prakashan, Vallabh Vidyanagar 4) Feminism in Contemporary Literature, 2015, (Ed.), Suresh Gadhavi, ISBN , Prism Publication, Jaipur. 5) Media me Baal Manas, 2015, (Ed.), 2015, (Ed.), Neena Sharma & Premchand Korali, ISBN , Prism Publication, Jaipur. 6) Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Issues, Opportunities and Challenges, 2015, (Ed.), Jitu Khaniya, ISBN , Prism Publication, Jaipur. 7) Bisvi Sadi ke Sanskrit Natak, 2015, (Ed), Harish Macwana, ISBN , Prism Publication, Jaipur. 263

285 13) Dr. Harita Joshi, Nirala ke Upanyas Sahitya me Manavtavadi Chetna, 2015, ISBN , K.S. Publications, Bhopal Apart from this, Dr. Neena Sharma is the Art Editor of the International Research Journal Krutika, ISSN Dr. Premchand Korali is the Co-editor of the International Referred journal Sahitya Vithika, ISSN Dr. Suresh Gadhavi is a member of Advisory Committee of the International Referred journal Sahitya Vithika. ISSN ) The NAAC Peer team had also suggested that teachers should be granted duty leave for quality improvement programmes such as participation in orientation programmes, refresher courses, seminars, workshops etc. After the first accreditation 4 teachers attended orientation programmes, 2 teachers attended refresher courses and 3 teachers attended short term courses and the teachers of our college attended total 268 seminars/workshops/conferences. The college granted them duty leave to attend such quality improvement programmes. In some cases their travelling expenses and registration fees were also borne by the college. In the last 6 years, our college itself organized total 11 state/ National Seminars. The details of the seminars organized by the college after the first accreditation are as under: NO Theme Source of Funding Year 1 Future of Humanities & Social Science UGC National Seminar on Old Age UGC Sarjatu Sahitya (21 st century) Gujarat Sahitya 2012 (2001 TO 2011) Akademi, Gandhinagar 4 Women and Higher Education S.P.University Samkalin Hindi Katha Sahitya Mein Gujarat Sahitya 2013 Tutte Parivarik Avum Samajik Akademi, Gandhinagar Sambandh 6 Sanskrit Natya Paramparama Natya Gujarat Sahitya Akademi 2013 Prastuti 7 Puraskrut Kavita UGC Feminism in Contemporary Literature UGC Vismi Sadi na Sanskrit Natako(Rupako) UGC Media Mein Balmanas UGC Industrial & Organizational Psychology UGC 2014 Issues, Opportunities & Challenges 265

286 Recently, the UGC has provided us the grants of Rs. 1,40,000 to organize a national conference on Representation of Communal Harmony in Literature in the academic year The UGC has provided us the grants of Rs. 50,000 to organize a state level seminar on Lord Shri Krishna in Gujarati Literature in the academic year ) The NAAC Peer team put emphasis on providing more housing and hostels for staff and students. The college has its own Girls Hostel. The college shares a Boys Hostel with other institutes of the management. However, most of the students are local. The existing hostel facilities are more than sufficient for a very small number of outstation students. All the members of the staff, teaching as well as non-teaching, have their own houses in Anand or in the surrounding area and as such housing facility for staff is not required. Our NSS, NCC, CWDC and cultural units are very effectively contributing in social services. Most of the members of the staff, both teaching and nonteaching are now ICT and Computer literate. Linkages with local NGOs and other agencies are very effectively explored and various activities are undertaken by the college in collaboration with them. Placement Cell, in collaboration with Gujarat State Knowledge Commission s UDISHA Project is working very effectively. At the time of accreditation there was no Physical Education Teacher. This post is now filled up and our college sports persons are doing very well representing our college at different levels. IQAC is very effectively directing and monitoring the academic activities and it facilitates every attempt which enables quality improvement. Our IQAC regularly submitted AQAR to NAAC. We have received the grant of Rs. 3,00,000 from UGC for the IQAC. We are planning to make our IQAC more active with the help of this amount from the next academic year. 266

287 FUTURE PLANS 1) To introduce interdisciplinary courses, career-oriented programmes and diploma courses. 2) To apply updated technology in teaching and learning. 3) To make classrooms ICT-enabled. 4) To expand infrastructure facilities. 5) To establish digital library. 6) To motivate the faculty to undertake more minor and major research projects. 7) To organise international seminars/conferences. 8) To increase the involvement of the faculty and students in community oriented extension activities. 9) To establish academic linkage with more industrial bodies and academic institutions. 10) To publish international research journal. 267
