3 Preface Sri Raja Rangayyapparao and Chunduri Venkata Reddy Government Degree College (SRR & CVR Government Degree College) situated in Vijayawada, the new capital region of Andhra Pradesh is an octogenarian institution and the only government degree college in the city that has been serving, true to its vision, mission and objective, the cause of education lighting the lamp of knowledge in the hearts and houses of many marginalized and socio-economically backward classes of the society. Established by Sri Rajah Venkatadri Appa Rao Bahadur, Zamindar of Nuzivid and Sri Chunduri Venkata Reddy, a local industrialist and Philanthropist in 1937, the college was handed over to the Government of Andhra Pradesh w.e.f Since then the college is named as SRR & CVR Government College. The college is affiliated to Krishna University. In 2004 the college opted for its first assessment and accreditation by NAAC and was accredited at B++ grade. In the second cycle the college went for accreditation in 2011, and was accredited at B grade with 2.70 CGPA. The institution has 9 post-graduate courses and 23 UG courses with 76 regular faculty members, including 3 redeployed and 2 contract faculty members. There are 26 guest faculty members. The number of non-teaching staff is 29. The strength of the college was 1859 during the last academic year i.e Though the quality of input is average because of the economically poor and underprivileged students, the output of the institution is fairly good. In the last four years many students progressed to higher degrees, and a good number has secured jobs through on and off campus job drives organized by the Jawahar Knowledge Centre. A number of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are designed to augment the studies. The college play ground is always abuzz with sports activities. As part of the institutional social responsibility the college organizes Swaccha Bharat, blood donation and medical camps, AIDS awareness and Gender sensitization programmes and joy of sharing practices. The NSS and NCC units of the college were appreciated for the service rendered during the Krishna Pushkarmas in August In keeping with the institution s upholding of the great tradition of literary and cultural excellence, the college organizes Yuvatarangam cultural festival. The UGC expert committee visited the college for assessment and granting autonomy in October The college received communication from the UGC that autonomy has been conferred on the college from the next academic year i.e The college acknowledges whole heartedly the support and guidance of the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, AP in all its endeavours. The college expresses its gratefulness to the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar of Krishna University for their cooperation. And the college is thankful to the Regional Joint Director, Collegiate Education for his encouragement. The college is now going for accreditation in the third cycle, and hopes to climb another step.

6 Executive Summary SRR & CVR Government Degree College, founded by the erstwhile zamindar of Nuzvid, Sri Raja Venkatadri Apparao in memory of his father Sri Raja Rangayyapparao, whose name the college bears, and supported by the munificence of the philanthropist Sri Chunduri Venkata Reddy, was served by great stalwarts like Kalaprapoorna Dr. Viswanatha Satyanarayana, the first Jnanapeetha award winner from South India, Satavadhani Dr. Perala Bharata Sarma, the great scholar Sri Jatavallabhula Purushottam to name but a few. It had produced students who became Chief Ministers, Governors, Statesmen, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Teachers, Scientists, Sportsmen and many more who continue to shine in every field of social activity. This great past has always been an inspiration to this institution, which. now in its ninth decade of existence, aims to achieve more in terms of academic excellence, social relevance, global influence, scientific significance and self-reliance. The academic and allied efforts of the institution have twice been assessed in the past by NAAC resulting in an appreciable B++ and B grades. Standing Behind Another or Being not at the Apex is not a prospect accepted by the self-respecting individual or institution. Making strenuous and committed efforts to overcome the short comings pointed out by the Peer Teams, propelling itself to raise the bar a little higher, and attuning itself to the academically changing progressive notes, the institution has stridden forward, and its concentrated scholastic efforts are presented in the following pages for the third cycle of accreditation. The preparation of the self-study report has indeed been a valuable introspection on the part of the institution into its last four years of academic journey analyzing its strengths and weaknesses based on the seven criteria of evaluation, and understanding the opportunities and challenges that are extant. This is a team effort with all the stakeholders of the institution, especially the staff and the students taking part in giving a final shape to this SSR. The steering committee has diligently prepared this report, in consultation with one and all, so that a comprehensively analytical report can be submitted to the accreditation committee. The Steering Committee that has been entrusted with the responsibility of preparing this report is: Chairperson: Dr. V. Ravi Principal Coordinator: Dr. I. Srinivasa Rao Reader in Sanskrit Additional Coordinator: Sri J. S. Ramprasad Lecturer in Microbiology UGC Coordinator: Dr. R. Kameswari Lecturer in Physics Technical Coordinator: Dr. K.

Rajya Lakshmi VII Dr. G. Nagarjuna Smt.S.V.Tahseen Dr. D. Sivanageswara Rao Dr. M. Devananda Kumar Sri T. Durga Rao Curricular Aspects: The college prepares a comprehensive Annual Academic Plan which includes all the curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activity plans. The changes in the syllabus are discussed by the staff, and the college arranges workshops on syllabus on need basis. Bridge classes and Foundation classes are conducted for the benefit of those students who need to be familiarized with the subject. Through guest lectures, additional inputs, field visits and other means, the teaching plans are implemented. The performance of the students is assessed through class room activities also. Feedback from students is collected, and the faculty members who are on the various boards of studies of the University discuss the curriculum in the subsequent meetings. Add on courses and certificate courses are planned by the college to fill the gaps in the syllabi, and to enhance the job opportunities for the students. Choice Based Credit System with semester-end examinations was introduced from the academic year This has helped in making the students more focused on the studies. Training in communication and soft skills is given to the students through the Jawahar Knowledge Centre. Gender sensitization, Environmental education, Human values and Human Rights are taught through papers in syllabus and organizing awareness programmes. The IQAC monitors the implementation of the Institutional Academic Plan, and analyzes the feedback received from the students on curriculum and teachers. Eight new programmes have been introduced at UG and PG level in the last couple of years. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 7

8 Analysis: The introduction of Choice Based Credit System is helpful to the students. The faculty members are also motivated to prepare more semester specific seminars, assignments and others co-curricular programmes. The formative and continuous assessment systems have helped in forging a better teacher-student relationship. The college, which has recently been visited by the UGC expert committee for granting autonomy, has received communication that autonomy has been granted from the next academic year, which paves way to introduce curricular reforms suitable to the local needs. Teaching, Learning and Evaluation: The college admits students on merit basis at UG level following the rules of the reservation of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The PG admissions are done based on the rank obtained by the students in the common entrance test conducted by the affiliating Krishna University. Students are provided scholarships and concessional bus passes. More than 85% of the students admitted belong to the under-privileged sections of the society. The demand ratio between the admission aspirants and admitted candidates is 1:1, and not all the sanctioned seats are filled in some groups. One reason for this is the craze for engineering education and the mushrooming growth of the engineering colleges all around. The institution takes care of the needs of its students. The differently-abled students are provided with audio lessons, scribes during examinations, and facilities such as ramp access and classes on ground floor. Whereas the slow learners are offered remedial classes, the advanced learners are given special assignments with higher difficulty level and encouragement to participate in seminars and competitions organized by colleges within and outside the state. Kum. K Divya participated in MTTS programme at Goa University, sponsored by the Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India. Ward counseling is implemented in the institution. The teaching staff who acts as ward counselors monitors the progress of their wards. They take special care about the students who are probable dropouts by offering counseling to them to reduce the drop out ratio. The drop out ratio varies between 5 and10 percent. The main reason for drop out in science courses is joining engineering programmes. The other reason is taking up a job. The college, which has been recently awarded the autonomous status effective from the next academic year, has plans to offer distance mode of education to the discontinued students. The college IQAC plays a major role in the Teaching Learning process. It helps the Principal in preparing the Institutional Academic Plan, and monitors its implementation by the departments and the staff. It collects the feedback from the students, analyzes it and takes corrective measures if any short falls are noticed. One of the observations of the Peer Team during the last assessment was that ICT enabled teaching should be strengthened. The college attended to this need. Now LCD/OH Projectors are made available in all blocks and a number of rooms are made ICT enabled rooms with some of them being turned into smart classrooms. A majority of the faculty uses these facilities. The Teaching Learning process has become Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 8

9 more student-centered. The introduction of the CBCS pattern which combines both the formative and summative assessments, has also contributed to it. The college has organized sixteen National seminars and workshops in the last four years to help the faculty interact with their peers, know the latest developments in the concerned fields, and share their ideas and views with a larger audience. The faculty is encouraged to adopt innovative teaching and evaluative practices. Optimum utilization of the library and computer facilities both by the students and the staff is supported by the extended library hours and computer utilization hours. Self-appraisal by the staff is submitted to the Commissioner of the Collegiate Education. The CCE conducts an annual academic audit of the institution. This helps the institution keep focused on its goals and objectives. Analysis: The institution has been successfully implementing new teaching methods that are ICT based. This has resulted in a significant improvement in student performance. The college has adopted the CBCS pattern which also makes the students more anchored to their studies. Research, Consultancy and Extension With the number of post graduate programmes offered by the college increasing to nine from four in these four years, research awareness and activity on the campus also has increased. Of the 76 permanent staff members fifty per cent have M. Phil or Ph. D degree. Among the guest faculty also there are two doctorates and four M. Phil holders. The Department of Chemistry has been recognized as a research centre by Krishna University. There are five faculty members who are acting as research guides. The IQAC along with the college Research Cell is proactive in encouraging the staff to apply for UGC research projects and Faculty Development Programmes. More than 100 research papers have been published by the staff members. A number of National seminars and workshops have been organized by almost all the departments. The college offers consultancy to farmers through Soil Health Club, to staff on income tax return preparation through Commerce Club and to students on psychological issues through the Department of Psychology. However, all these consultancy services are offered free of cost. Individual staff members also offer consultancy in their specialized fields. The activities of the Soil Health Club are of the nature of community based extension work, and it is labeled as an outreach programme. The students visit the fields, collect the soil samples, analyze the samples and help the farmer in choosing the required quantity of fertilizers under the guidance of the Department of Agriculture, Government of Andhra Pradesh. The Department of Zoology has taken up the community work of typing the blood of the slum dwellers. The members of non-teaching staff along with some of the students are taking part in the ongoing Household survey taken up by the state government. Some faculty members took part in such a survey a couple of years ago. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 9

10 Students participate in community and extension works through NSS and NCC. The Krishna Pushkarams which were conducted on a large scale by the state government in August 2016 gave an opportunity to the students to interact with different types of people and learn practical lessons in crowd control, resource management and selfless service. Most of the departments have MoUs with nearby industries, institutions and other associations. Even as an affiliated college, the institution is trying to optimize these linkages for the benefit of the students. Analysis: Though there has been some improvement in the field of research on the campus, we are trying to do more to claim to be an active research centre. As there is no budgetary provision for research under the present system, the college has to depend on the UGC funds for any research activity. However, individual staff members are engaged in continuous research work, and a number of research papers have been published by them. The MoUs also need to be increased. Infrastructure and Learning Resources The college is spread on a seven acre campus. There are two main blocks consisting the Administrative, Science, Arts and Commerce wings. A newly built block houses the PG and Library departments. An indoor stadium is under construction. A well equipped Gymnasium is situated in the old classroom wing. Though there are 33 classrooms, some of the rooms having asbestos roof are rarely used as they are in need of refurnishing. The college runs in shift system to accommodate all the UG and PG programmes. The college is situated in the heart of the city on one of the busy roads. Facilities like Banks, Post office, cafeterias, super bazaars, stationery shops and hospitals are within reach. As such, running a full-fledged canteen within the campus is not an economically viable proposal for anyone. So a small canteen with limited menu is run on the campus. The college has no attached boys or girls hostel. As most of the students who need hostel facility stay in nearby SC/ST/BC social welfare hostels, so far the need for an on campus hostel is not felt. However, a student managed hostel is there on the campus. It is more a dormitory type transit hostel, and houses around fifteen students, who belong to the OBC/EBC sections, and hence cannot secure a seat in the social welfare hostels. Proposals however, have been submitted to the UGC for the construction of a women s hostel on the campus. The central library is located in the PG Block and a Reading Room is near the college main gate. There are text and reference books in the library including SC/ST book banks. The library works for extended hours for the benefit of the students during the exampreparation days. E books and e journals are available to the students for download, and print, scan and photo-copying facilities are available both at the Reading Room and the Central Library. The Gymnasium with modern equipment is available to both the boys and the girls. The college has a spacious ground to organize outdoor games. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 10

11 All the departments have computers and internet facility. The whole campus has Wi-Fi connectivity. The well-equipped Jawahar Knowledge Centre imparts Communication and Soft skills to the students. A 10 KW solar power plant supplies power to the whole campus. An RO plant is established for the supply of pure water to the students. Analysis: The institution needs improvement in its infrastructural facilities. The growing interest in the add on and certificate courses along with the increase in UG and PG programs offered is creating a demand for more rooms. The college being a government institution, the facilities are either to be sanctioned or approved by the government, which involves a lot of paper work and delays. Student Mentoring and Support In the beginning of the academic year various committees are constituted to implement the Annual Academic Plan. Some of these committees look after the issues concerning the award of scholarships, issue of Bus passes and other student support plans. Ward counselors take the responsibility of following the student progress. They counsel the slow learners and arrange remedial classes. Probable drop-out students are identified, and motivated to finish their studies. Students are encouraged to participate in the various literary and cultural competitions organized by the colleges and institutions at regional and national level. Financial assistance is given to them, and special classes are held for their sake. The college also organizes cultural festivals to tap the talent of the students. Anti-ragging committee conducts meetings at the beginning of the academic year to make the students become aware of the severe punishments ragging like activities attract. The Women Empowerment Cell frequently arranges informal gatherings of the girl students to discuss the issues concerning them, and instill confidence in them. The JKC offers training in employable skills. The Physical Education department of the college has made a name for it in events like Kabaddi and Net Ball. A number of the students have represented the state in these events. The men s cricket team has been selected for Vizzy Trophy. The vibrant Alumni association is a source of great inspiration to the college. One interesting fact is that four of the present staff members are the past students of the college. The college encourages the creativity of the students by bringing out newsletters and magazines, arranging exhibitions and poster presentations, and Rangoli and other cultural activities. Analysis: The college has good student support system that helps the student to excel not only in the academic field, but also in cultural and sports fields. But most of these support structures require some physical structures also to function properly. The college is unable to meet the demands of all these at present as the infrastructure facilities need to be improved. Governance, Leadership and Management Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 11

12 This octogenarian institution has a rich teaching learning tradition that has etched a path of success for its many generations of students. This being a government college, the top management consists of the State Council of Higher Education, the Commissioner of the Collegiate Education and others along with the affiliating Krishna University. At college level the Principal is the highest authority ably supported by the Administrative Officer in running the office, and by the Staff Council in academic affairs. The College Development and Planning Council consisting of faculty members and eminent persons from the society, prepares plans for the development of the college with the involvement of the community resources. The IQAC monitors the quality facet of teaching, learning, research and other activities. The several committees constituted for taking care of the various academic, cultural and other aspects deal with them. The staff, the members of the committees and the stakeholders meet regularly to ensure the implementation of the policies and programmes of the college. Principles of participative management and delegation of duties are believed in, and put into practice by the institution. Feedback from the students and other stakeholders, the self-appraisal reports of the staff, and the reports of the academic audit teams appointed by the CCE help the institution in monitoring and evaluating the execution of its strategies and procedures. Students are encouraged to join the various clubs such as Commerce Club, Soil Health Club and Eco Club, and manage the affairs therein to further their leadership traits. The college produced Chief Ministers like Sri N. T. Rama Rao, Governors like Sri P. S. Rammohan Rao and Sri V. Rama Rao, and many other leaders and public servants. Students take them as their role models. NCC, NSS and Red Ribbon Club activities make the students service oriented. Strategies and plans are developed by the IQAC based on the departmental inputs and the reports of the various committees. Introduction of add on courses, certificate and crash courses are discussed in the Staff Council. Financial support to some programmes is arranged from the CPDC funds. The JKC imparts training in employable and communication skills. It also arranges job drives to facilitate on campus and off campus recruitment. Encouraging the faculty to participate in the Orientation and Refresher programmes, organizing workshops and seminars, incorporating ICT enabled teaching techniques, motivating the staff to apply for research projects, inking new MoUs and arranging training programmes for the students are the strategies the institution plans and implements. The college offers a number of welfare schemes to the staff in accordance with the state government policies. These include medical reimbursement, leave encashment, festival advances etc. The college website is regularly updated with the latest happenings on the campus. Analysis: The college has to strictly follow the government directions. Both teaching and non-teaching staff are sometimes assigned non-academic duties necessitating changes in academic plans and schedules. The transfer of the staff every year affects the involvement spirit of the staff in the various schemes, and the new batch takes time to understand the Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 12

13 unique culture of the college. But this is the common feature of all government colleges. And the teachers understand this and quickly adapt themselves to the new environment. As most of the government colleges run on the same managing and governing principles, not much difference is felt during the functioning of the college. Still, however small a stone it be, when thrown into water, it creates some ripples, and the water needs some time to calm down. Innovations and Best Practices The college has implemented many eco-friendly measures such as installation of solar power plant, water harvesting and tree plantation. Guests, invited speakers, and resource persons of seminars and workshops are presented saplings that are planted on the campus. One of the innovative practices the college has adopted is to reuse the unused answer scripts. Use of smart phones for taking attendance is also put into practice by some staff members as a small step towards paperless record maintenance. Two of the best practices selected for presentation in the following pages are Soil Health Club and the Vehicle Free Third Saturday. The first is a community extension work where the students in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, AP visit the fields, collect the soil samples, analyze them in the labs of the Agricultural Department and inform the farmers of the result. This helps the farmers in knowing the nature of the soil, and the type and quantity of the fertilizer to be used. On one hand this analysis reduces the unwanted use of the fertilizer and thereby increasing the soil life, and on the other hand, saves the farmer some overhead costs. The second best practice involves air pollution and carbon neutrality. Vehicular exhaust is one of the prime factors for air pollution. This can be reduced a little if people stop using personal motor vehicles, and turn to public transport instead at least once in a month. The practice is being implemented with this objective on every third Saturday of the month. Both the staff and the students enthusiastically follow this practice. Analysis: Over the years the college has adopted many innovative best practices. Some of them are academic in nature while some other address a public cause. Still there is scope for innovation in every area, and the college is always willing to lend an ear to new ideas and proposals, and take a step to experiment with them. SWOC Analysis A frank and fair strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-challenges analysis of the college presents the following picture. Strengths A noble tradition of teaching learning spanning eight decades Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 13

14 Qualified and committed senior faculty. Located at the heart of the city, hence easily approachable District Id college District nodal centre for JKC District nodal centre for Cultural Activities Well equipped laboratories Traditional and modern courses with wide choices Communication and Soft skills training, and placement through JKC Identified research centre for Chemistry Robust research activity Proposed HAM radio station Weaknesses Need for updating infrastructural facilities, which are inadequate in some areas as the existing facilities just barely fulfill the needs. Regular transfer of the staff disturbs the continuity of some activities, and creates vacuum in some other areas Amenities like dining hall need to be provided. Ladies waiting hall needs modification, and a second waiting hall shall be planned A dedicated and spacious seminar hall with modern audio and visual facilities is needed More number of ICT enabled rooms is required as sometimes many departments are arranging such classes at the same time. A separate music and rehearsal room is to be provided for cultural wing A distinct language lab for Oriental languages needs to be established More collaborations and linkages with industries are to be formed Skill based certificate courses shall be started in all departments. Low rate of recruitment in job drives Opportunities With Vijayawada being the declared Capital Region and more universities coming up in the region, research and collaboration activities will get a fillip. More employment opportunities with the new Capital being developed Ample opportunities for travel and tourism subject Government's decision to start incubation and innovation centres in identified colleges Scope for skill development programmes Autonomous status Challenges Socio-economic background of the students that forces them to take up part time jobs turning their attention away from studies Many private colleges around that offer better amenities Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt.

If yes, give details on the process ( Needs Assessment, design, development and planning) and the courses for which the curriculum has been developed. At present as an affiliated college, there is no provision for the college to develop curriculum independently. However, curriculum has been developed for the various certificate courses offered by the college. As the college functions in autonomous status from the next academic year, starting with the batch, changes in the curriculum will be implemented on need basis. Presently certificate courses are planned, designed and implemented thus: Study of the Need: Employment opportunities, Knowledge enhancement, Gap filling between the syllabus and the industry requirement etc. Design & Development: Check whether such a course is offered elsewhere, if so what is the syllabus, what modifications need to be made, how many hours of instruction are needed, whether theory or practical, prepare evaluation system, list the experts and resource persons, and get the blue print ready, and submit it to the IQAC/Principal for approval Introduction and Planning: Interact with the experts wherever necessary to invite them to take classes, plan instruction hours, prepare the time-table, announce the course to the students, motivate them to join, and implement the course Review and Report: On successful completion of the course to one batch, review the course and its impact, and prepare a report for submission to the IQAC/Principal for their approval to continue or discontinue the course. At present the college is offering twenty four certificate courses all together, and these are offered by the streams of Arts, Commerce and Science How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation? The institution follows the state common core syllabus as prescribed by the University. Through feedback from students it analyzes the whether the expected objectives are met with or not, and by equipping the faculty with proper training it ensures the implementation of the syllabus Student feedback on curriculum is obtained, semester-wise, analyzed and discussed in the next BoS meeting in case of University courses. If necessary, training sessions are arranged for the teachers to equip them better for teaching the new curriculum. For students whose learning levels are slow or not up to the expected mark, remedial classes are conducted. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 35

36 In case of certificate and add on courses introduced by the college, regular review meetings are held with the concerned department, and an analysis is made on the expected outcome of the course. Based on that, further action is initiated for continuation, modification or discontinuation of the course. Academic Flexibility Specifying the goals and objectives give details of the certificate/diploma/ skill development courses etc., offered by the institution. The college is offering around twenty-four certificate courses as of now. A few of these courses, however, will be started in the months of January-February. Almost all the departments offer certificate courses. Some of these courses are add-on courses designed to enrich the knowledge of the students. Some other courses are designed as skill development courses that will provide job opportunities.

If yes, give details. As an affiliated college, the institute cannot offer dual degrees. There is no provision for twinning degrees also. However, students are eligible to enroll themselves for online certificate courses, and some of the IGNOU and BRAOU courses for a simultaneous study. Around 200 students enrolled themselves for MOOCs courses during the current academic year Around 70 students enrolled themselves for NPTEL online certificate courses Give details on the various institutional provisions with reference to academic flexibility and how it has been helpful to students in terms of skills development, academic mobility, progression to higher studies and improved potential for employability. Issues may cover the following and beyond: Range of Core / Elective options offered by the University and those opted by the college Choice Based Credit System and range of subject options Courses offered in modular form Credit transfer and accumulation facility Lateral and vertical mobility within and across programmes and courses Enrichment courses At present being an affiliated college, the institute has to offer the approved combinations of groups only. From the academic year , Krishna University introduced Choice Based Credit System following the guidelines of the UGC. As this system is still in the nascent stage only with not even a full batch completing the course in this pattern, early hiccups are to be sorted out. As such there is no scope for lateral or vertical mobility within or across the courses, and no complete freedom for selection of the subjects is vested with the student. However, the college offers some flexibility in changing the group option before the closure of the admissions by the University. The students of all programmes are free to enroll themselves in the training programmes offered by Jawahar Knowledge Centre and Tata Institute of Social Sciences modules to enhance their skills and employability. Similarly, they can also join the various Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 37

38 courses offered by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University and IGNOU present on the campus for furthering their education. However, the college which has received the autonomous status from next academic year wants to implement credit transfer and accumulation of credits to those students who enroll themselves in NCC, NSS and Yoga programmes from next year onwards. Range of Core / Elective options offered by the University and those opted by the college Programme BA B.Com B.Sc Elective combinations offered 1. History, Economics, Politics 2.

Courses offered in modular form A two-week modular course in soft skills is offered by the Department of English. Credit transfer and accumulation facility No such facility is available now. Lateral and vertical mobility within and across programmes and courses Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 38

39 A little bit of lateral mobility is allowed in the present system. A student who joins one programme can change the group based on the availability of the seats before the admissions are closed in the first year. If seats are available, the student can change the programme also based on his entry level eligibility. For example, a student who joins Economics, History, and Politics group of B.A can change his group, and choose a different combination from among those offered in B.A. Similarly, a student who joins B.A. stream can move to B.Com/B.Sc and viceversa subject to the availability of the seats, and his fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Enrichment courses The certificate courses offered by the college are designed to be enrichment courses also. MOOCs and NPTEL courses are enrichment courses, and students are encouraged to join them Does the institution offer self-financed programmes? If yes, list them and indicate how they differ from other programmes, with reference to admission, curriculum, fee structure, teacher qualification, salary etc. The college offers the following approved self-financed courses. Admission to these courses is based on the University guidelines, and follows the regular admission procedure. No separate admission policy is followed for these courses. The curriculum for these courses is framed by the University, and no separate recruitment of teachers is made for these courses. However, the college is permitted to appoint Guest Faculty for conducting these courses, where the workload of the regular teachers does not permit them to handle any extra class work. These are unique combination of courses and differ from the general courses only in the fee structure.

43 1.2.6 Does the University provide for the flexibility of combining the conventional face-to-face and Distance Mode of Education for students to choose the courses/combination of their choice If yes, how does the institution take advantage of such provision for the benefit of students? At present the University does not offer this flexibility. The college functions in autonomous mode from the next academic year. As an autonomous college, the institution plans to approach Dr. B R Ambedkar Open University and Indira Gandhi National Open University to explore the possibility of transfer of credits in common papers/groups where the syllabus matches. 1.3 Curriculum Enrichment Describe the efforts made by the institution to supplement the University s Curriculum to ensure that the academic programmes and Institution s goals and objectives are integrated? The affiliating university endorsed a curricular framework developed by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education suited for Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). This is being implemented in this institution from the academic year This model doesn t leave much space and time for incorporating programmes for achieving institution oriented additional goals and objectives which are student specific and with a local flair. However, the state common core syllabus has some papers like Human Values and Professional Ethics, Environmental Studies, Indian Heritage and Culture, and Leadership which integrate the institution's goals and objectives. Hence the faculty who teach these papers include in the existing framework additional activities, such as value additions, certificate courses, assignments, seminars, group work, study projects etc. which serve the purpose of meeting the goals and objectives of the institution What are the efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize the curriculum to enhance the experiences of the students so as to cope with the needs of the dynamic employment market? The institution has several senior teachers who are members of Board of Studies of the affiliating University. They attend the BoS meetings annually, and they make a conscious effort to enrich the syllabus based on the latest developments in their field, and enhance the relevance of curriculum by incorporating skill development modules/practicals needed for the dynamic job market. At the institutional level the college encourages necessary additional inputs to be added to the curricular plan to help the students to cope with the needs of job market.

On campus and Off campus job drives are arranged community orientation Is achieved by the activities of NSS, NCC, Red Ribbon Club, Soil Health Club and Eco Club Departments arrange visits to orphanages and old age homes Field trips to industries, farms and tourist places enrich the real time experience of the students, and introduce to them the ground realities of the society. Participation in the government sponsored surveys such as the recent household survey is encouraged as they give an opportunity to the students to interact with people from different walks of life Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum? Feedback collected from the stakeholders such as the students, staff, parents, alumni and the community is analyzed to understand the need of the day both in terms of facilities on the campus and the components of the curriculum. The perceived curriculum needs are conveyed to the University at BoS meetings, and through requests and memoranda. Wherever possible, the college takes the initiative to start a certificate/diploma or crash course in the area of immediate necessity. To cite an example, the Departments of Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit have come together to start a certificate course in DTP with special focus on Indian Language typing skills as the feedback received from the community pointed to the potential job market in the print and publishing industry for which Vijayawada is always famous. An interaction with a few publishers helped in designing the course as per the needs of the local market How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes? The IQAC carefully analyzes the programmes introduced, the feedback received and the opinions expressed by the experts, and offers necessary suggestion to the concerned department in the following way: Suggestions from experts are solicited before designing the programme, and also after conducting the programme. Feedback from students is obtained, and the outcome of the programme is reviewed by the department, and a report is submitted to the IQAC. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 45

46 The IQAC on its part studies the report, and discusses with the Staff Council if needed. And necessary suggestions are then communicated to the concerned department for the required modifications by the IQAC. 1.4 Feedback System What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of the curriculum prepared by the University? Faculty members who are also members of the Board of Studies suggest within the approved limits modifications and changes, if necessary, before endorsing the curriculum prepared by the University. The institution encourages the staff to supplement and enrich the syllabus prescribed with additional inputs through lecturing, supply of material, assigning projects etc. Wherever necessary, the college asks the concerned departments to design a certificate course and encourages the students to join it to get benefited in the University exams 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? Yes, there exists a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from the students on curriculum. Previously the out-going batch (Final year students) used to give feedback, but with the introduction of Choice Based Credit System with Semester model, feedback is collected from the students at the end of each semester in a prescribed format. The concerned departments analyze the feedback along with the feedback from the faculty, and represent to the University during the BoS meetings or through memoranda. Feedback received from other stakeholders is used mainly to start new courses, combinations or certificate courses How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/programmes?) Six PG and one UG programmes were introduced by the college in the last four years. And as many as fifteen certificate and add on courses were also introduced. While most of the post graduated programmes were introduced based on their research and job opportunities, a number of certificate courses were introduced as enrichment/add on courses.

If yes what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process? Student Profiles: Yes, student profiles are collected after the admissions. Ward counsellors are appointed for each group, the counsellor usually being a lecturer who teaches that group. The counsellors for I year classes collect student profiles in the prescribed format. The profiles are analyzed with respect to the social, economic and parental literacy status of the students, and tabulated. These profiles are used to monitor the student progression in the II and III years. The outcome of the analysis of these profiles is the adoption of suitable teaching plan, planning early remedial measures, and designing appropriate class room activities. A satiating observation is that while a good number of students from the feeding Junior college joined the Degree courses, many Degree students preferred the college for continuing their Master s Degree.

52 Table showing admissions into undergraduate programmes for the last four years Programme Year of admission BA BCom BSc BA BCom BSc Year of admission A study of the above table shows that admissions into BCom are more or less steady, and do not fluctuate very much. Same is the case with admissions into the science stream till last year. This year there has been a 25% rise in BSc admissions. Admissions into the BA stream recorded 90% rise during , but dropped by 25% this year. One reason that can be attributed to the increase in the science admissions is the realization among the students and the parents that employment opportunities have increased for science graduates and decreased for engineering graduates as nowadays more and more job offering companies are preferring science graduates over engineering graduates especially during on campus recruitment drives. Regarding BA, it seems students still do not consider it as an employment guarantee course. BCom maintains its reputation of being a job fetching degree. The demand ratio as such is higher in case of BCom and BSc when compared with BA. Given below is the table showing the demand ratio for various courses for the current year.

The institute believes in the statement that differently abled people are definitely able people, and only their requirements are different. The institute while providing for those Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 54

55 special requirements such as ramp access, class rooms on ground floor, scribe facility during exams, Braille/ audio lessons and material, treats them as normal students in all other respects to instill confidence in them. The differently abled faculty members take special care of those students, and recommend means to meet their special needs 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. Yes, there is a provision for assessing the student s knowledge and skill before the commencement of the programme. Faculty members interact with the students in the introductory classes/sessions, and assess their abilities Bridge courses/foundation courses are conducted to fill the knowledge gap If the knowledge gap is found to be wide, short term courses are offered What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? The institute adopts various strategies to bridge the knowledge of the enrolled students. Bridge courses are offered wherever necessary. For example, the Department of Commerce conducts a Bridge course to the non-commerce students. The Department of Mathematics conducts a Bridge/Revision course to the newly admitted students. Foundation courses are conducted to non-sanskrit (at Intermediate level) students The Department of English conducts Basic English course to all the first year students whose medium of instruction was Telugu at Intermediate level. Remedial classes are taken to the slow learners throughout the tenure of the programme. Fast learners are encouraged to take up add on/certificate courses of their choice. Students are motivated to enroll themselves in MOOCs programmes How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.? Gender and Inclusion The college has a strong and functional Women Empowerment Cell that arranges meetings with girl students every month and discusses current issues involving women s problems. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 55

56 Sensitization programmes are arranged where guests address the students to create awareness in them on issues related to gender, inclusion and equality. The convener of the Women Empowerment Cell also regularly interacts with girls and conducts sensitization and awareness programmes for them. Environment On International Women s Day was celebrated under the chairmanship of Dr. V. Ravi, Principal. On a programme on Gender sensitization was conducted where Mrs. Sri Devi, Secretary, AIDWA, Vijayawada addressed the students about Gender discrimination and the need for awakening in the girls. On a health camp was conducted with the collaboration of Love All Universe Foundation. Two eminent doctors, Dr. PRK Bhargava, MS, MCh (SGPGI) FAIS Endocrinologist, and Dr. KB Gayatri, MD, DNB, MNAMS, CUG (Urogyn), Assistant Professor (PSIMS) examined the students and gave necessary advice to the students. After that they delivered a lecture to the students on the need for love in this universe. Sensitization programme for girls was conducted on by the Women Empowerment Cell Convener Dr. D. Umarani. An awareness programme for Future mothers was conducted on by WEC Convener Dr. D. Umarani. A programme --Relationships and Feelings was conducted on by WEC. Smt. K. Sujatha, Lecturer in Physics conducted a Gender sensitization programme titled Gender Equality Our responsibilities on The college being a co-educational college, the management takes special care in ensuring the participation of girl students in all programmes and events. The Eco Club of the college creates awareness among the students and the public regarding the safeguarding of the environment by organizing tree plantation, rallies and competitions. One of the Best Practices of the college is the observation of the third Saturday in every month as Vehicle Free Saturday Presenting saplings to the guests at every occasion and event, which they plant on the campus, is also one of the Best Practices of the institute. Green Audit is conducted every year. The first year students of all UG programmes study a paper on Environmental Studies. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 56

57 State government programmes such as Vanam Manam, Swacch Bharat, Swacch Andhra Pradesh etc. are conducted How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners? Every good educational institution must cater to the diversified needs of its students. Just as remedial classes are conducted for the slow learners, additional knowledge enrichment programmes and material must be offered to the advanced learners. The college understands this need, and has created many avenues to tap the talents of its advanced learners. Special student projects with higher difficulty level Priya of III BBM got I prize in State level Study Project Competition Yuvatarangam Md. Ayesha BZC secured 1st place in State Yuvatarangam in Hindi Essay Competition. Recommending them for training and study programmes requiring higher analytical and logical skills K Divya participated in MTTS programme at Goa University, sponsored by the Dept of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India. Making available to them more learning resources like e books and e journals. Allowing them to use computer and other equipment for extended hours Encouraging them to join the various online courses offered by reputed institutions Coaching them for PGCET and competitive examinations. Presenting Endowment awards in recognition of their performance in the annual examinations How does the institute collect, analyze 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)? The ward counselors and faculty members analyze the student profiles, and the academic progression of the students based on their performance in home assignments and examinations. They identify the probable dropouts and conduct counseling to them. However, an informal study (through personal interaction, eliciting information from the batch-mates etc.) of the reasons for drop out over the years suggests that the drop outs are mostly because of parents migrating/transferred to other places, marriage and child birth (in case of girl students), taking up jobs for family sustenance and other family problems. Some Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 57

58 of these drop outs have completed their degree course later after a gap of few years, in some cases after almost a decade. Thus there are many social problems which have an impact on academics and which can be addressed only by government agencies. If autonomy is granted to the college, there are plans to allow the drop outs to appear for exams as distance education students by offering them the opportunity to continue their studies in distance mode, with the college supplying study material and arranging contact classes. 2.3 Teaching-Learning Process How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.) A planned and systematic approach is adopted by the college regarding the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules. The affiliating Krishna University circulates the Academic Calendar for UG and PG courses intimating the dates for admission, examination etc. The CCE also issues an academic calendar giving a list of important events to be planned and organized in the course of the academic year. The IQAC prepares an institutional plan after discussions with the departments and on obtaining the departmental action plans prepared conforming to the University and CCE academic calendar. The Departments prepare the departmental plans that include the proposed dates for the workshops, seminars, guest lectures and other student centric activities. The Departments convene departmental meetings to distribute the workload with reference to the college time-table prepared by the time-table committee. Based on that, the teachers prepare their individual teaching plans in which the departmental action plan is incorporated. Under the Choice Based Semester System, the University gives the schedule for internal and external examinations. For internal examinations, the departments decide on the evaluation scheme; for external examinations, the evaluation blue prints are prepared by the University during the spot valuation camps How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching learning process? The IQAC is the most important agency of the college which monitors the teaching learning process on one hand, and strives for the maintenance of quality on the other hand. Right from the stage of the preparation of the academic plans, the IQAC involves in the process of establishing a holistic teaching atmosphere on the campus by interacting with the staff individually and through meetings, to evolve a dynamic and motivating teaching Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 58

59 process. Towards teaching process, the IQAC contributes by: Providing information to the faculty through the UGC coordinator regarding the Faculty Development Programmes, Research and seminar grants etc. Encouraging the faculty to apply for Minor Research Projects. Discussing with the departments on the conduct of state/national seminars/conferences. Interacting with the Library Committee regarding the research and other journals that are to be subscribed Encouraging the faculty to make use of internet, ICT facilities and smart classrooms. Making available to the faculty the self-appraisal forms, feedback forms and collecting activity reports from them. Observing the emerging trends in pedagogy and trying to implement the suitable methods in the college Towards the learning process the contribution of IQAC is- Conducting orientation and sensitization programmes to the students Preparing the student profile formats and arranging ward counselling Ensuring the conduct of Bridge classes and Remedial classes Designing presentations to create research awareness and orientation in the students Working to improve the competitive standards of the students who participate in various literary, cultural and sports competitions Periodically reviewing the student progress, assessing and fulfilling their needs and requirements, and motivating them to set and reach goals. Creating quality consciousness among the students and the teachers about the learning outcomes How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning among the students? The college has come a long way from teacher centric learning to the student centric learning with the help of various support systems such as the staff rooms with computer/internet facility, a well-furnished modern library with facilities for scan and photocopying, ICT enabled class rooms, computer and language labs, smart classrooms fitted with assistive listening devices and LCD projectors, e- learning resources, state of the art sports rooms and JKC. The college promotes interactive student centric learning by forming quality circles. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 59

60 Many methods are followed to develop the various learning skills in the students, and some of those followed include: Interactive Learning Brain storming sessions Pair and Square Buzz session Debate Collaborative Learning Jigsaw JAM Group Exploration Reciprocal Teaching Model preparation Role play Quiz Independent Learning Assignments Seminar presentations Material collection Elocution Essay writing Library work Project works In the Choice Based Credit System that was implemented from seminars and assignments carry a weightage of ten internal marks. This has improved the participation and involvement of the students in classroom seminars and assignments How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators? A verse from our ancient lore says: Acharyaat paadamaadatte Paadam Sishyah sva-medhayaa/ Paadam sa-brahmacharibhyah Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 60

61 Paadam kaala-kramena cha// (A student learns from the teacher only a quarter, another quarter he gains by his intellect, the third quarter from his colleagues, and the last quarter by experience in the world). The college understands that the duty of the institute does not end by bestowing a degree on the student or imparting to him some employability skills that help him in earning a livelihood. Outside the boundaries of the college also the student should continue to be a learner, thinker, innovator and developer, and the college should instill in him such values and learning attitudes for lifelong learning. The college endeavours to achieve this goal by- Assigning study projects that require a critical approach and application of a systematic methodology such as a psychological study of the characters of a drama Allowing the students to exercise their choice in selecting a topic of their interest such as choosing a short story of Viswanatha Satyanarayana for writing a review Giving them an opportunity to come up with ideas that can be translated into active projects such as models in electronic/science exhibition Creating avenues to apply their theoretical knowledge in real time such as typing the collected blood samples Providing reading material beyond their immediate curriculum to expose them to greater varieties of approaches and methodologies Offering add-on and certificate courses to enrich their knowledge Arranging field trips and visits to provide an opportunity to the students to observe what is happening in the outside world and learn from their own experience Conducting competitions that give ample scope to the students to bring their creative talent to the fore. Arranging training programmes, workshops, presentations, guest lectures etc. to motivate them to be achievers and leaders What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning - resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open educational resources, mobile education, etc. The faculty keep themselves abreast of the developments and improvements taking place in the field of pedagogy, and train and equip themselves to meet the challenges in using the up-to-the-date technology. The college also strives to provide them the latest technology. The following facilities are available to the staff at present. Smart classrooms which are ICT enabled Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 61

62 OHP, LCD projectors in all blocks and floors Computer labs with internet/wi-fi facility Wi-Fi connectivity on the campus All departments having computers and internet connectivity Use of YouTube, online lessons, PPTs for effective teaching Local chapter of NPTEL sanctioned to the college 57 students enrolled 5 candidates including 3 staff members received certificates MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) Around 200 students enrolled for different online courses Chat/SMS groups for instantaneous sharing and dissemination of information MANA TV programmes on KU-band designed and broadcasted by CCE How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)? The college understands the need to expose both the faculty and the students to the modern methods of teaching-learning so as to advance their level of knowledge and skills. For that the IQAC, Research Cell, JKC and other committees find ways to encourage the staff and the students to participate in programmes and schemes that offer them a chance to attain advanced skills. The faculty are encouraged to attend National and International seminars, workshops and training programmes Seminars, workshops and guest lectures are organized with distinguished faculty/scientists as resource persons in the college also for the benefit of faculty and students. Internet and Wi-Fi facility in all the departments, and the availability of large scale of digital editions of journals and books in the library also serve as a means to help the faculty and the students in attaining advanced skills. Blended learning in the form of combining the traditional teaching methods with the virtual teaching technique is introduced, and is to be fully exploited. Plans are afoot to make this the primary teaching method once the autonomous status is conferred on the college Detail (process and the number of students \benefitted) on the academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance services (professional counseling/mentoring/academic advice) provided to students? Faculty members, who are appointed as ward counselors, guide and counsel their Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 62

63 wards regularly and also provide financial support to the students whenever required as most of the students belong to the economically weaker sections. Many of the students take up part time jobs outside the college hours in order to extend a helping hand to their parents in maintaining their family. They need constant moral support to continue their studies and perform at better than the average level. The staff identifies such students and takes special care of them by providing study material in advance, giving more time to complete the assignments and academic tasks, conducting special practical and theory classes, and providing special mentoring to them. Psychological counseling: In some cases students become depressed owing to personal, academic or family problems. Such students are given counseling by the Department of Psychology Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are the efforts made by the institution to encourage the faulty to adopt new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student learning? The college encourages innovative teaching practices that utilize the ICT facilities and modern techniques. All the departments have been equipped with computers and internet facility. Smart classrooms, and ICT enabled classrooms are provided On their part, the faculty is utilizing these facilities to the maximum and is teaching through: PowerPoint Presentations YouTube lessons Audio and video clips Interactive teaching modules along with: Instant Messaging Services Chat groups Charts and slides Access to online courses The main impact of these practices is that the student can be in contact with the teacher all the time and not just during the college or class hours. This helps him in clearing his doubts immediately or request the teacher for time for a personal session either to clarify his doubts or sometimes for receiving advice on personal matters How are library resources used to augment the teaching- learning process? The college library has a large collection of text books and reference books in addition to journals and periodicals. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 63

64 Students are encouraged to visit the library regularly. Special SC/ST book banks provide text books to the students belonging to those categories, which can be retained throughout the year. Internet, Scan and photocopying facilities are provided in the library for the benefit of the students. Almost all the departments have departmental libraries, and the students are issued books there also. Sometimes the staff requests the main library to loan the reference books to the departmental library so that they can have a ready access to them. The library works for extended hours for the benefit of the students and helps them in augmenting their class room learning with the library resources Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If yes, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these. Yes, sometimes the college falls behind the academic schedule due to many reasons. Whenever such a thing happens, the Staff Council takes a resolution to work extra hours or days, and the IQAC sees to it that the annual academic plans are modified and syllabus is covered within the given time frame. Sometimes, the University reschedules the dates of exams and modifies the academic calendar, or the CCE instructs the college to work on holidays to compensate the loss of the teaching days. To cite a recent example, this year the college was closed for twelve days in the month of July on the occasion of Krishna Pushkarams as the campus was used by the state officials. The CCE had instructed the college to work on Second Saturdays in the remaining months to compensate the loss. The University had postponed the Semester end examinations by a week. The institution on its part had taken the decision to conduct extra classes during zero hours and allowed classes to be conducted in the seminar hall, conference room and the staff rooms also How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning? The college believes in the principle that self-monitoring is the best method to assess the quality of its teaching learning, and puts it into practice, along with the assessment made by the higher authorities. Feedback is collected from the students on teachers and curriculum. Faculty members submit self-appraisal reports at the end of every academic year, which are submitted to the CCE. Ward counsellors and faculty members follow the academic progress of the students. The office of the CCE also conducts annual academic audit of the institution.

66 The college being a government college, the state government recruits the faculty. As such the government takes into account the new courses being introduced across the state, and need to provide staff for such courses, and recruits them following the UGC norms for recruitment. As this process takes a long time for completion, Contract Faculty and Guest Faculty are engaged complying with the government rules. Whereas Contract Faculty are allotted by the Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education on district basis, Guest Faculty are employed by the institution as per the need. The college selects the highly qualified candidates after rigorous screening from among those who responded to its advertisement of posts. Thus the changing requirements of the curriculum are met, and the students receive instruction from those who specialized in the concerned subjects 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. The college meets this challenge in two ways. By sending the available staff in the concerned/allied subject to Refresher courses, training programmes and workshops in that subject, so as to make them familiarize themselves with the emerging trends in that field and By engaging guest faculty who possess the required qualification to teach that subject. Along with this, inviting visiting faculty to deliver a series of lectures on the concerned topics is also followed. Thus in the last three years some lecturers Sri M. Madhava Rao, Dr. G. Tirupathaih --were sent for training to teach the newly introduced paper on Human Values and Professional Ethics. All the departments arranged guest lectures and special lectures by experts on curricular topics for the benefit of the students. Guest lecturers were engaged to teach fundamentals of computers to the students of Arts stream Providing details on staff development programmes during the last four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in enhancing the teacher quality. The college believes that teachers should recharge themselves regularly by attending Refresher/training courses and seminars/workshops in order to enhance their teaching quality. Hence they are encouraged to attend all sorts of development programmes, and many staff members attended such programmes in the last four years. The details are given underneath.

Enunciate how the Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 73

74 institutional culture and environment contributed to such performance/achievement of the faculty. Dr. V. Ravi, Principal was adjudged the Best Principal by the CCE for the year Sri Padmanabham, Lecturer in Public Administration received Best Teacher Award from the State Government in The college provides an ambience healthy and cooperative on the campus to infuse a positive drive in the faculty for excellence and achievement. Any jarring note turned into a harmonic one by right effort, any knitted brow set normal by earnest appeal and any harsh glance converted into a soothing look by sweet talk, no dark mood is allowed to prevail on the campus, and thereby paves way for a dedicated engagement in study and research on part of the teachers to explore better methods of teaching, the testimonials for which more often than not received from their wards rather than from the power driven forces easily influenced by extravaganza. A library with a good collection of titles, journals and periodicals Access to e-books, online journals, membership in internet libraries Computer and internet facility with Wi-Fi connectivity Encouragement to attend seminars, workshops and conferences The faculty participated/ presented papers in more than 100 seminars Motivation to present and publish research papers Around 110 research papers published by the staff Helpful and cooperative attitude of the management Providing freedom for independent thinking, experimentation and exploration These are but a few of the salient features of the culture and environment which the college has carefully nourished for decades that helped in decorating its cap with feathers of outstanding performance Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process? Yes, evaluation of teachers by both the students and the external peers takes place regularly. Feedback on teachers is collected from the students now semester-wise with the introduction of the Choice Based Credit System. During the academic audit conducted by the CCE, external peers evaluate the performance of the teachers based on their activities and achievements, and submit a report to the Principal. The Principal discusses with the IQAC and the Staff Council the overall performance report, and measures for improvement are explored. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 74

75 The Principal counsels the individual lecturers whose performance has been evaluated to be below average by the students/peers, and motivates them to improve performance. 2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes? Evaluation is an integral part of teaching learning process, and the college makes sure that all the relevant information regarding evaluation is communicated to the students and the faculty. During the beginning of the new academic year/semester, the students are introduced to the syllabus and the evaluation methods. The Question paper models, the probable internal and external examination schedules and the scope of the revaluation system are explained/ communicated to the students. In case of continuous evaluation process, the students will be informed of the assignments, projects and other class works they have to finish, and how their performance will be evaluated in these tasks. For external examinations, the faculty will be supplied the schema of valuation by the University, whereas for internal examinations the scheme of valuation is decided during the departmental meetings. The University announces the schedule for applying for revaluation 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 introduced the semester mode Choice Based Credit System with internal continuous evaluation that carries a weightage of 25 marks from the academic year The institution adopted the system from the academic year Practical examinations are now conducted with the institution appointed external examiners and University appointed external examiners in the alternate semesters How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own? The institution discusses the University reforms in the Staff Council and the IQAC interacts with the departments for the effective implementation of the reforms. IQAC conducted a workshop on Internal Assessment system to the staff The students are informed of the changes in the evaluation methods, and prepared accordingly. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 75

76 The institute displays the relevant information on notice boards and electronic scrolling boards, announces through the public address system and posts it on the college web site Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system. Every teaching learning system presupposes an assessment of the student during the course of the programme in order to measure the effectiveness of the system. This is done by following the formative and summative assessment approaches. The Formative assessment approach uses the verbal tests, group discussions, class presentations, assignments, role play and the like. The formative assessment helps the student by giving him a chance to assess his strengths and weaknesses during the programme. The teacher can identify the slow learners and take remedial steps, and prepare them for the summative assessment. The Summative assessment method involves the conduct of examinations such as the monthly tests, unit tests, mid-term tests and semester-end examinations. The Summative assessment helps the student in progressing to higher academic levels as it has a high stake value. The Summative assessment helps the teachers in assessing the difficulty level of the programme, and the changes needed to be made to the syllabus. By using both the methods effectively, especially in the Choice Based Credit System being implemented from the academic year , the college achieved - an improved success rate in the participation of the students in various cocurricular and extra-curricular activities, a result of formative assessment approach, and an increased academic achievement rate in the University examinations, an outcome of the summative assessment approach Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.) The institute follows a continuous assessment of the students through formative and summative practices. Internal assessment plays an important role in monitoring the progress and performance of the student. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 76

77 As part of internal assessment in the Choice Based Credit system being implemented from the academic year , the following aspects are taken care of. Attendance: The University stipulates 75 per cent of aggregate attendance for the student to be able to take the year end examination. The internal examinations conducted by the college award 5 marks for classroom attendance. Communication skills: Seminar presentations are allotted 5 marks under the internal monitoring system which has greatly improved the participation of the students in seminars. Independent Learning: Classroom Assignments are given a weightage of 5 marks to improve the student s independent learning experience. CBCS. The following table shows the marks allotted for internal and external examinations in Summative Assessment External/Semester end examinations (75) Formative Assessment Internal Examinations (25) Attendance Unit Tests Assignments/ Seminars The marks obtained by the students in the Unit Tests and Assignments/Seminars are communicated to the students What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students? The affiliating University does not explicitly mention any graduate attribute matrices for its programmes. However, these are implied in the prelude of most syllabi/curricula. The college, in general, across all the streams and disciplines considers the following attribute matrix and works towards making the learners achieve these, of course to varying degrees of accomplishment subjective to individual s capabilities, efforts, awareness and social context. Individual faculty members assess and evaluate communication skills, independent learning, team work, behaviour and leadership skills in each class. Discipline, attitude and class participation are also important factors.

At University level After the declaration of the results, the University announces the time frame for applying for retotaling/revaluation as measure of redressal of grievance. At college level Internal grievances with regard to tests, assignments and examinations are generally addressed by the concerned department 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? Yes, the institute has defined the general learning outcomes as Promotion of independent thinking for personal and professional development Enhanced communicative skills, technical skills and aptitude to shine in the competitive world Acquisition of Life skills coupled with professional and ethical values Awareness of good citizenship through involvement in social extension activities These outcomes are in addition to the academic outcome of progression to a higher degree.

82 2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes? The institution adopts positively practical systems of teaching, learning and assessment that facilitate the achievement of intended learning outcomes. Innovative teaching learning methodologies are practiced and perfected. To cite an example, the Department of Telugu has introduced the practice of writing metric verses to make the students get a grip over Telugu prosody. Concept oriented, Target fixed, Skill developing and Student centric learning modules are adopted. For example, the Department of Mathematics presents a problem/puzzle on the departmental notice board and asks the students to solve it. Peer/Self- assessment is followed sometimes where the students are asked to either evaluate their papers themselves or correct the papers mutually as per the key provided. Every assignment, seminar, test and classroom activity is assessed as per the learning outcome fixed for that exercise. Students, whose performance falls below the set mark, are given counselling in that area 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? To enhance the social relevance of the courses offered the college plans cocurricular activities such as field trips, industrial visits, guest lectures, seminars etc. which help in improving the practical skills and talents of the students that secure them placements, guide them to start ups, or conduct them to the research arena. Add on and certificate courses in the subject related job oriented areas are offered. Workshops are conducted and field trips are planned to develop entrepreneurship Exhibitions are organized to bring out the innovative and research oriented skills How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning? The college maintains records of the formative and summative assessment of the students. The University results are analyzed subject wise. Student s progression into higher degree and placement records are also tracked. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 82

83 The IQAC reviews this data and discusses with the departments on the steps to be taken to improve these records. Suitable modifications to the teaching plans are discussed in the Staff Council meetings and departmental meetings How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes? As mentioned above the institute monitors the performance of the students which points to the achievement of the learning outcome. The institute takes into account those students who have not progressed to the higher degree or taken up any job or profession also Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If yes provide details on the process and cite a few examples. Yes, the institution and the teachers use the assessment/ evaluation outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objective and planning. For students such an evaluation helps in taking timely remedial measures if any deficiency be found on the part of the student, by giving extra assignments, personal coaching, confidence building and motivating. For the teachers the result of such an evaluation gives a scope to reflect on the attainment of the learning objectives by the students, and make plans accordingly. For the institution the assessment helps in identifying the areas where the teachers may be lacking, and arrange qualitative training programmes to improve the teaching standards in addition to taking measures to improve the quality of the performance of the students by augmenting library and other facilities. Any other relevant information regarding Teaching-Learning and Evaluation which the college would like to include. The college has been conferred autonomy from the next year by the UGC, and is making plans to implement measures to meet the teaching learning standards expected of an autonomous college. These involve a continuous training programme to the teachers, introduction of online examination system for house examinations, self-assessment tests to the students and extra credits for participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities.

If so, give the aspects considered for inclusion in the plan. The college applied for autonomous status, and the autonomy expert committee visited the college on 26th and 27th of October The college is hopeful of getting autonomous status as the perspective development plans are mostly linked with it. Being an affiliated college, and being a government college, most of the development plans of the college have to be cleared at various stages. Any infrastructural development on the campus is to be taken up after getting permission from the office of the CCE, and adhering to the strict government procedures. Similarly, any academic plan has to be approved either by the University or the CCE. However, if autonomy is granted the college can have some functional autonomy on these both fronts.

Through Staff meetings and interactions: The Principal conducts regular monthly staff meetings, staff council meetings and department interactions. Thus he gathers information from all these sources for submitting to the CCE whenever asked for. Principal s annual report submitted on the College Annual Day also covers the activities of the institution. The report is published in the college magazine also. Through AQAR (Annual Quality Assessment Report): All the departments submit annual departmental reports to the IQAC All the committees and clubs submit annual reports of their activities to the IQAC NCC, NSS and JKC also submit their reports. The Office also submits report of budgetary allocation, disbursement of scholarships etc. to the IQAC All this data is reviewed by the IQAC for preparing the AQAR in consultation with the Principal The AQAR is placed before the Staff Council for approval before submission to the NAAC A copy of the AQAR is made available to the Academic Audit committee formed by the CCE Through API Scores: There is system of the CCE asking to upload on its website the Academic Performance Indicator scores of the teachers as per the Self-Appraisal Reports which will be taken into account for affecting transfers, recommending for Best Teacher awards etc. While the IQAC scrutinizes the self -appraisal forms submitted by the teachers, the Principal reviews the API scores before they are posted on the CCE website. Through Student Feedback: Student Feedback on teachers and curriculum is obtained on Semester basis by the departments, which is analyzed, consolidated and submitted to the IQAC, which in turn submits it to the CCE.

Through College Website: The AQAR, API scores and Results are posted on the college website also. Through DRC and DCEDRC Review Meetings: Review meetings are held under the direction of the DRC and DCEDRC where development activities are reviewed. The minutes/reports of these meetings are submitted to the CCE whenever called for How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional processes? As all the staff members are involved with one or other college committee, they offer their suggestions and opinions during the meetings of that particular committee. Regular staff meetings are called for by the Principal where all academic aspects are discussed threadbare. During the Staff Council meetings matters involving financial aspects also come up for discussion, and the opinion of the members is taken into account by the Principal. All financial transactions other than regular ones, are to be endorsed by the concerned committee through a resolution before any expenditure is made from that grant. For example, the UGC committee meets to discuss the distribution of the UGC funds allotted to the college for different activities Enumerate the resolutions made by the Management Council in the last year and the status of implementation of such resolutions. The staff council which is the main body to take decisions on academic issues made the following important resolutions last year with the outcome listed against it: Resolution Outcome/Action Taken Applying for autonomy UGC expert committee visited the college on October 2016, and autonomy was granted by the UGC to be effective from the academic year All departments to organize State / A total of 12 State / National Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt.

Is there a mechanism to analyze the nature of grievances for promoting better stakeholder relationship? A Grievance Redress Cell is functioning in the college which deals with any grievance or complaint of the students. On receiving any grievance/complaint, the committee immediately meets the aggrieved party, discusses and deliberates, and recommends a redress on its own, or recommends the formation of another committee to look into the matter. A committee thus formed will have student members also wherever possible. That committee will submit its report within the stipulated time, and usually the decision of that committee will be final. In rare cases, the matter will be referred to the Staff Council for further course of action. Many of the grievances received, mostly orally or through the memoranda submitted to the Principal, refer to the policy matters of the State government such as grant of scholarship, or related to the examination and results issues of the University. As such, the Principal forwards them to the higher officials. Institutional level grievances are either less in number or almost nil During the last four years, had there been any instances of court cases filed by and against the institute? Provide details on the issues and decisions of the courts on these? No case has been filed by or against the college in the last four years Does the Institution have a mechanism for analyzing student feedback on institutional performance?

At the end of each academic year, the staff submit Self-Appraisal Report in the prescribed format containing Academic Performance Indicator score to the IQAC. The IQAC scrutinizes them and submits them to the Principal who reviews them further, and allots his own score. These API scores are submitted to the CCE, who takes them into consideration while affecting transfers or awarding Best Teacher or other honours. The Principal also submits a self-appraisal report covering the institutional activities to the RJDCE. Dr. V. Ravi, the Principal of SRR & CVR Government College was selected as the Best Principal based on his API score in the year What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports by the management and the major decisions taken? How are they communicated to the appropriate stakeholders? The Principal after reviewing the self-appraisal forms of the staff interacts with them, and motivates them to obtain a better API score. Where the API score is very less, the Principal seeks an explanation from those staff members, and suggests corrective measures. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 162

163 Lecturer-wise result analysis is done at the end of each academic year, and the same is submitted to the CCE. Where the result is poor, the Principal interacts with both the lecturer and the department, seeks an explanation, and suggests remedial measures. The CCE considers transferring those lecturers whose result falls below 40 per cent pass of the students. The API scores and result analysis are available on the CCE website, and the students, parents and other stakeholders have access to them What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non- teaching staff?

Has the institution established an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)? If yes, what is the institutional policy with regard to quality assurance and how has it contributed in institutionalizing the quality assurance processes? Yes, an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has been established by the institute to ensure quality in all the academic and administrative aspects of the college. The IQAC discusses with the departments on measures to be considered so that the academic and administrative plans prepared stand to the test of quality. The cell also monitors the implementation of the plans and reviews the performance of each department after the implementation of plans. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 166

167 The entire process of quality assurance and improvement is effectively adopted with the active involvement of cross sections of stake holders in the position of members in the IQAC. The meetings were able to augment various quality assurances and improvement measures which has contributed in institutionalizing the quality assurance processes. b. How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by the management / authorities for implementation and how many of them were actually implemented? Some of the major decisions taken by the IQAC and implemented by the departments and college are: A separate research cell to strengthen the research activity on the campus. National seminars to be conducted by all the departments. Research awareness workshops for students. Office automation and provision of computers in all the departments c. Does the IQAC have external members on its committee? If so, mention any significant contribution made by them. Yes, there are external members on the IQAC, and they give their inputs for maintaining quality parameters. They also actively participate in the extension activities organized by the college. Dr. P. Ramesh Babu, Managing Director, Ramesh Hospitals, Vijayawada who is one of the external members of the IQAC arranged a cardio-pulmonary resuscicating training programme in September, Sri Narayana Rao, President, SRR Walkers Association, who is another external member collected Rs from their members, and contributed that amount towards the organization of a National seminar on Teaching Language by the Language Departments in July d. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective functioning of the IQAC? There are student and alumni members on the IQAC. Quality improvement measures in student welfare activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities are taken into consideration during IQAC meetings. The alumni members, who are incidentally the present staff members also, have a clear understanding of the role of the IQAC, and hence help in its effective functioning discharging their duty as both the alumni and the staff. e. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from different constituents of the institution? Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 167

168 The IQAC circulates the resolutions adopted at the meeting to all the departments. Inputs and data from the departments and the committees are requested through SMS and circulars. The faculty who are members in IQAC discuss the issues in their respective department meetings. The IQAC engages the services of all the departments, faculty as quality assurance and improvement is a combined and coordinating effort of all the constituents of the college Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If yes, give details on its operationalization. Yes, there is an integrated framework for quality assurance of academic and administrative activities in the college. The academic quality assurance is operationalized through the academic plans and departmental action plans along with the institutional plan following the guidelines of the CCE and the University. Workshops, seminars, guest lectures, training programmes etc. motivate the staff and the students to achieve the goals and objectives set in quality framework. On the administrative front, digitalization of the library, making the college a Wi-Fi enabled zone, ICT support to teaching in the form of smart classrooms, online admission process and other measures assure quality in all aspects Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If yes, give details enumerating its impact. Yes. Training sessions are arranged under the aegis of the CCE whenever new recruitments/promotions take place in the form of induction training sessions.

If yes, how are the outcomes used to improve the institutional activities? Every year the CCE conducts Academic Audit of the colleges. The observations of the committee are submitted to the Principal and the CCE. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 168

169 The Principal reviews the report in the Staff Council meeting, and suggests corrective measures. An action taken report is submitted to the CCE Some of the outcomes of those reports are: Shifting of the library to a spacious building, more research publications by the staff and implementation of the suggestions in maintaining the teaching diaries How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the requirements of the relevant external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities? The main external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities of the college are AP State Council of Higher Education Commissioner of Collegiate Education UGC Krishna University, the affiliating University As admissions, curriculum and examinations are in accordance with the rules framed by the University and the state government, no conflict arises in quality assurance in such aspects. Newly recruited staff members attend Orientation programmes, and the senior staff members attend the required number of Refresher courses where they are exposed to the quality implementation methodology in teaching. All the staff members attend/ submit papers in seminars, workshops and conferences which become a platform to them for interacting with their peers. This exposure translates into enhanced adherence to quality framework in their teaching, learning, and research activity, and contributes to the institute s assurance of quality to the stakeholders. The IQAC on its part oversees and advises the staff on the necessity of quality assurance, and maintaining the seven criteria for the NAAC evaluation, which in fact is a continuous process, and not a one-time activity. Thus the internal quality assurance mechanism of the college aligns with the requirements of the external quality assurance agencies What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review the teaching learning process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of operations and outcome? In the annual examination system which was followed till the batch, the lecturer wise and course wise result analysis was discussed every year and submitted to the CCE. During these analysis sessions in the staff council, review of teaching learning process was also discussed. A number of changes in the teaching process were suggested and implemented in the form of ICT based teaching. Many rooms were converted into smart class rooms and/or ICT enabled class rooms. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 169

170 With the introduction of the Choice Based Credit System along with Semester system from the academic year , a continuous review of the teaching learning process has been taking place on the campus as under this system 25 per cent marks have been allotted to formative or internal assessment. As such, Result analysis by the college is done semester wise Student feedback is also now obtained semester wise. Review meetings at departmental and institute level have become more frequent, and deficiencies are brought to the notice of the Principal, and corrective measures are implemented immediately. Regarding the outcome of these changes the following points can be highlighted. With the continuous assessment system in place, the students have become more responsible and serious regarding their studies. The assignments and seminars have become more meaningful and innovative also How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders? Students are informed of the plans, activities and events through display on the notice boards, scrolling on the electronic display boards, and announcements in the classrooms directly or through public address system. Some departments use SMS/WhatsApp services to communicate. The faculty is informed of the policies etc. in the staff meetings and departmental meetings, and through circulars and SMS/WhatsApp. s are also sent. College website is updated regularly incorporating the activities taking place on the campus along with the major policy matters, and this is the source for all internal and external stakeholders to know about the happenings on the campus. News items published in local newspapers cover the important events that took place in the college. Any other relevant information regarding Governance, Leadership and Management which the college would like to include. The college functions as an autonomous college from the next academic year onwards.

171 CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES 7.1 Environment Consciousness Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? Yes, to create eco friendly atmosphere and to maintain green ambience, the college has conducted Green Audit of the campus for the maintenance of the trees, and for locating places for planting new trees. NSS volunteers conduct clean and green programmes regularly to maintain cleanliness on the campus. A Botanical Garden with a wide variety of trees, some of them very old is being maintained. The practice of presenting saplings to the guests, and requesting them to plant them is implemented. Geo-Tagging of the recently planted varieties of the trees has been taken up as a study project to monitor their survival and growth What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly? The college has taken many initiatives to make the campus eco-friendly. An Eco club and a Soil Health club are formed to create awareness in the students regarding environmental issues, and to encourage them in environmental friendly programmes. Energy conservation A 10 KVA Solar Power plant has been established and the power generated is utilized by all the departments and the laboratories. In a recent meeting the Staff Council has passed a resolution to take measures to replace the old electrical fittings and wirings with new ones, and use LED bulbs in place of fluorescent bulbs to conserve energy. Use of renewable energy As mentioned above a Solar Power plant is functioning in the college that uses renewable energy. Water harvesting A number of rain harvesting pits have been dug at various key places on the campus to harvest the rain water and augment the ground water table. Check dam construction As there are no waterways on the campus, check dam construction is not possible. Efforts for Carbon neutrality As a small step towards balancing the carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere, the college observes a vehicle free day on the third Saturday of every month. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 171

172 Plantation As a measure towards carbon offsetting, the college implements the policy of presenting saplings to the guests to plant them on the campus. The college organizes tree plantation programmes to maintain the greenery on the campus. In the months of July and September many different flora are planted every year. Botany department is monitoring the medicinal plants. Hazardous waste management A seminar on Solid Waste Management was organized by the Department of Chemistry to create a platform to share ideas regarding waste management. In the college campus only in Microbiology and Chemistry departments hazardous waste is generated. The Microbiology Department disposes off the hazardous waste after autoclaving. All the waste collected in the college is dumped in to the two types of dust bins, one for biodegradable waste, and the other for non-biodegradable provided for this purpose to be cleared by the Corporation staff periodically. e-waste management The college follows the rules of the EPA and government in managing e waste, as it cannot recycle or resale the electronic equipment on its own. 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. Yadyadaacharati sreshtah Tattadevetaro janah / Sa yat pramaanam kurute Lokastadanuvartate // What a visionary does, the others imitate. Whatever he sets as standard that the world follows. Innovations are but a part of the teaching learning process. An innovative idea of today, put into practice or applied, may turn into the best practice of tomorrow to become ultimately the standard for others to follow it. What Sri Krishna said centuries ago applies to both innovations and best practices today also. Hence the college encourages its staff and students to become innovative within and without the classroom, and in case of the students in literary, cultural, sports and games arena as well. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 172

173 To list a few of the innovative techniques used by the teachers and the institute-- The college is a centre for many examinations such as ICWA, CA, APPSC, Banking and Railway Recruitment Board exams. A lot of unused answer booklets in the CA and ICWA examinations are kept with the institution only. The college distributes such booklets to the students to be used for notes taking, house examinations and assignments, thus helping the students as well as the institute in saving some money and resources. Some faculty members have taken the initiative to take attendance on their smart phones using an app or simple spreadsheet as a small step towards digitalization of the records, and promotion of the concept of e-office. Even if biometric attendance is introduced completely, still this method will be useful during field trips and industrial visits. 7.3 Best Practices Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college. There are a number of best practices followed by the college such as: The activities of Soil Health Club The Vehicle free Saturday The College news bulletin published by the Department of Economics & Journalism The Economics journal published by the Department of Economics & Journalism Viswanatha Book Exhibition by the Department of Telugu Recycling of answer scripts by the Examination Cell Use of apps for taking attendance. However, the activities of the Soil Health Club, and the implementation of Vehicle Free Saturday are elaborated here as the Best practices. Best Practice #1 Goal Soil Health Club The Department of Chemistry started the Soil Health Club in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Government of Andhra Pradesh in order to create awareness about the importance of soil analysis and its role in the sustainability of the soil for future generations. This is a programme designed to enrich the students with practical knowledge on one hand and as an outreach activity that helps the farming community in and around the rich Krishna delta area. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 173

174 The Context Soil health or soil quality refers to the capacity of the soil to function as a vital living eco system that sustains plants, animals and humans. Indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides causes more harm by killing soil flora that erodes the soil fertility. It is harmful to the soil, farmer and the environment. Maintaining soil health is necessary for the preservation and sustenance of human life on this planet. If farmers are educated on the health of the soil, and enriching the soil with organic matter with household waste and farmland manure to increase biological activities in the soil, and the nature and the dose of the chemical fertilizer that is to be used for a particular crop, they will be immensely benefitted. The participation of the students in this endeavour creates awareness in them regarding their social responsibility. The Practice Student members of the club in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, AP, visit nearby villages and collect soil samples from various agricultural fields. They analyze the soil in the labs of the Department of Agriculture and the report is uploaded on the website of the Agricultural Department. An SMS is sent in colloquial language to the farmers providing information about their soil health. Depending on the crop, the quantity of the fertilizer is decided. This enables the farmer to minimize the input costs thereby increasing his profits. Air and water pollutions will also be controlled. But convincing the farmer to accept the report and follow the guidelines is the major challenge the students encountered in this practice. Because, the farmers did not understand that the concept of less quantity of fertilizer would be suffice to get a good crop. Another constraint is that the soil tests are to be conducted in summer only when the soil is dry. Students have to work during their summer vacation for this community service. Evidence of Success The Department of Agriculture was happy with the commitment, dynamism and involvement of our students, and it trained nearly forty students in conducting these tests and used their services. Their observation was that the farmers learned quickly and the use of fertilizer dropped significantly in those villages due to the efforts of the Soil Health Club. Problems Encountered and Resources Required As mentioned above, the soil tests are to be conducted in summer only, and the students have to bear the travelling and other expenses involved in visiting the villages and collecting the samples. Because of this the activities of the Soil Health Club are mainly confined to the nearby villages only even though the aim is to spread its activities to the whole of the Krishna District. Notes (Optional) Soil Health Clubs can be formed in all the colleges especially in the rural colleges. They will be of immense help to the farmers. A District Soil Health Club also can be formed with all the colleges as constituent members. A website can be created which presents the soil health profile along with the crop history of any place just at a click of the mouse. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt.

College City: Vijayawada Pin Code: Accredited Status: B (2 nd cycle) Work Phone: Mobile: Fax: Website: srrcvr.org srrandcvr@gmail.com Best Practice #2 Goal Vehicle Free Third Saturday Air pollution is one of the major problems today, especially in cities where the cluster of industries and the ever increasing number of motor vehicles by their carbon emissions contributes to it significantly. Both the plant and the animal kingdoms are affected by air pollution, and a severe damage is caused to the eco system by the pollutants, which also has undesirable effect on the population. The resultant depletion of the ozone layer causes global warming that affects all the living organisms. The goal of this practice is creating awareness among the students and the public about the imminent dangers and hazards the earth has to face if corrective measures are not taken to control air pollution. The Context Carbon dioxide and monoxide gases released into the atmosphere through vehicular exhaust are the primary air pollutants. A high level of these gases in the atmosphere causes respiratory problems like bronchitis, asthma, and respiratory distress that may lead to the death of the infants and the old. According to an observation of the World Health Organization, India has the highest death rate due to air pollution, mainly in the form of respiratory related complications. New Delhi is the case point with its highest air pollution levels in the world. In this context it is necessary that the college should adopt a practice that is not only educative but also contributes to the public cause. Reducing air pollution can be achieved to some extent by avoiding vehicular emission into the atmosphere. However, it is not possible to continuously or permanently avoid the use of motor vehicles today. But a day in the month can be made vehicle free. Both staff and students can use public transport, and if necessary, walk a little bit or use bicycles. So the college has earmarked the third Saturday as the vehicle free Saturday. The Practice The practice is simple. No staff member or student comes to the college on his/her motor vehicle on the third Saturday of the month. The staff and the students can use public transport or make some other arrangement. But no personal motor vehicle will be used. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 175

176 College gate will not be opened on that day to allow any motor vehicle inside. However, some exceptions are allowed on health or other grounds, but not as a rule. For example, if any examination falls on that day, students and the staff who have examination duty will have the option of either following the practice or not on that particular day. Similarly, if any official visit or programme is scheduled for that day, the practice may not be followed. As the college decided to implement this practice once in a month only, there were occasions when this practice could not be implemented. Increasing the frequency of the practice though discussed in the staff meetings, has not been decided upon. Evidence of Success Though in the beginning, out of habit, students and staff failed to follow this practice, still the regular announcements, circulars and reminders helped them in remembering the third Saturday as a special day, and slowly the percentage who followed this practice started to increase. The number of vehicles parked outside the college gate on the third Saturday started to decrease, and lesser requests are now made for exemption. Problems Encountered and Resources Required The main problem encountered is with the visitors to the college. The college has two study centres belonging to the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University and the Indira Gandhi National Open University. The enrolled students of these centres frequently visit their offices, and they do not know about the practice followed in the college. Sometimes their vehicles are also stopped at the gate. Old students, parents, friends of faculty etc. coming to the college on any third Saturday are also aggrieved sometimes. But the banners put up in the college, and the explanations given to them appease them. A Note This is a good practice that can be emulated by other institutions. However, if the institution is located in a remote or rural area where transport facilities are inadequate, this practice may not yield expected results. But in such a situation some modifications can be made to the practice such as "share a ride" where two people use one vehicle. Contact Details Name of the Principal: Dr. V.

284 Post-Accreditation Initiatives After the last assessment and accreditation, the institution became more quality conscious and several measures were adopted to enrich teaching learning process, and placement. The focus is on diversified activities for all round development of the students. Curricular Aspects: After the affiliating University introduced Choice Based Credit System in the college has readily embraced this system which included internal evaluation, marks for activities and student attendance. One UG and six PG courses were introduced in Arts, Commerce and Science streams. Fifteen certificate courses and add on courses were introduced to enrich the curriculum, deepen knowledge and imparting skills. The emphasis is now on skill sets. Curricular enrichment with value additions utilizing the stake holders feedback is being practiced. Annual curricular plans were strengthened with quality enhancement. Teaching Learning and Evaluation: Significant improvements were made in teaching learning evaluation methods by more student centric and participatory practices. Cocurricular activities were strengthened towards achieving wider learning goals. With the establishment of more smart class rooms, more and more classes are switched over to ICT mode of teaching. Remedial classes are being conducted for slow learners in a systematic way. The mentoring system is strengthened through ward counseling. The student feedback is obtained at the end of every semester and it is analyzed and uploaded to the website of the Collegiate Administration of Andhra Pradesh (Commissioner of Collegiate Education). IQAC role was expanded for introducing quality perspectives almost in all the activities. Research, Consultancy and Extension: After NAAC accreditation five teachers were awarded Ph.D degree and two teachers were awarded minor research projects. Research activity has picked up momentum with several publications per annum in National and International journals. Active research is taking place with three teachers pursuing their Ph.D degree under UGC Faculty Development Programme. There are seven recognized research guides available on the campus under whose supervision 6 Ph.D students and 3 M.Phil students are doing active research. Recently, the department of Chemistry has been recognized as research centre by Krishna University, Machilipatnam. Student study projects are encouraged by providing necessary facilities, chemicals and stationery from the UGC grants. Study projects at the student level on the local problem have been undertaken. Extension activities have attained a higher level of quality with focus on lasting outcome as well as life long student training. Infrastucture and Learning Resources: A new PG block was constructed in 2014, and is utilized for conducting post graduate classes. Furniture in the classrooms has been changed to some extent. New desk chairs are provided in the seminar hall. Staff rooms are refurbished with new furniture. Safe drinking water with RO facility is provided to students and staff. Toilets, especially women toilets are well maintained now. Power back up through a diesel generator is now available for uninterrupted practical classes. As an initiative for harnessing green energy, a 10 KW solar power plant was erected. The library has procured several books and e journals in the last four years. The Physical Education department has established a multi functional Gymnasium. Student support and Progression: Economically backward students are included in fee reimbursement scheme and are financially supported. Slow learners are encouraged to attend remedial coaching and complete their course work. Students are placed in various jobs by training and conducting campus recruitment drives by Jawahar Knowledge Centre. In the previous year alone 73 students were placed. Guidance and Counseling Centre is imparting professional guidance and several of our students are progressing to join PG courses, many in our college PG programmes. Self-Study Report Cycle-III SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 284

285 Governance and Leadership: The college administration has been decentralized and democratized to a large extent. All the decisions are made in the Staff council and the committees after thorough discussion in the meetings which are periodically held. Faculty has been deputed to orientation courses, refresher courses and training programmes for development of knowledge, skills and administration. Innovation and Best Practices: Environmental consciousness is imbibed in staff and students. Because of their activities a green canopy covered campus is greeting every one. Rain water harvesting pits were dug for increasing the water table on the campus. A soil health club was established to test the quality of the soil, and recommending fertilizer optimal use thus helping the farming community of the surrounding areas.

286 15. Library needs to be strengthened in terms of books and journals 16. Limited use of ICT in teaching and learning 17. Canteen facility needs urgent improvement completed in next few months Several text books are bought in the last four years and e-journals were subscribed through DELNET Most of the teachers are now switched over to ICT mode of teaching As the college is situated in the heart of city on the main road with many cafeterias and eating points within walking distance, a full-fledged canteen inside the premises is not an economically viable proposition. So a small canteen with limited menu is functioning inside. 18.
