Following were the major innovative practices introduced by the college in the last four years that helped in attaining high levels of functioning in higher education. Best class of the year The month-wise project was selected and all the classes were asked to do the project by involving the entire class in activities like group dance, songs, skits, creation of advertisement, branding, marketing etc. The best class was adjudged on the basis of performance in these activities and other criteria like discipline, attendance, involvement of the students etc. The best class is announced and trophy awarded to that class. Best student of the year A committee was formed consisting of senior teachers. It decides the criteria for the selection of the best student.

Finally the best student was selected by considering the overall performance of the student in the various activities such as academics, sports, cultural, N.S.S. and other social activities along with performance in the personal interview. Learning by doing This activity was conducted to learn business strategies by setting micro enterprises in the college. In this activity students organized and managed stalls for food materials and decorative articles. Entrepreneurship skill is developed by undertaking such activities.

This system of internal control has helped our institution in maintaining high level of discipline and in the process helped the students in gaining leadership qualities. Online examination As part of the credit and grading system introduced by the University of Mumbai and

149 adopted by the college from the academic year , the internal evaluation system has been partially computerized.

150 7.3 Best Practices Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page...) which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college? Title Goal Context Practice Evidence of Success Problems Best Practice I Title: Legal Clinic Goal To create legal awareness among the students and community and make them law abiding citizens. To inculcate democratic principles by imparting basic legal knowledge to the students and community. To make the students aware of their rights and duties towards the society and the country. Gender Issues Context The soul of Indian Constitution is Social Justice. The Constitution of Indian states that Ignorance of law is no excuse. It means that every citizen of country should know the law. However, it is not possible to know each and every law which is in force. But it is expected that everyone knows at least the basic law and administrative system in the country. The faculty members of the Law department associate themselves with different organizations, students and community at large. They have come across legal illiteracy among the masses due to which they face various obstacles to solve their day to day problems. The main reason behind it is the lack of legal knowledge, government rules and procedure. To overcome these difficulties it is not necessary for citizens to have an in depth knowledge of existing law, only basic knowledge of law is required. But there are no citizen-friendly forums through which they can be educated. The institution s objective is not just to impart education but also to serve the society within the available resources. Thus in the year , the law department of Model College introduced a novel platform- Legal Clinic with the motto Social Justice is real happiness. Practice The clinic enrolls the interested students as their members free of charge. It has a panel of legal experts from whom the clinic takes the advice. The clinic gives

151 representation to one member from Student Council, Gymkhana, Cultural, NSS Woman Development Cell etc. to come out with any legal problems. The membership is extended to the alumni of the institution. Legal clinic takes efforts to find out problems of residents in and around Dombivli. For this the members of legal clinic conduct surveys. Sincere and serious efforts are made to solve the problems. Clinic creates consumer awareness programme by a. Making the different group of students. b. Discussing the decided cases of National Commission & Supreme Court. c. Converting it into street play/ moot court / drama. d. Conducting Paper & Case Presentations among the students. e. Arranging group discussion/ debate / question answer sessions. f. Arranging lectures / seminar / workshop etc. Clinic creates awareness in preparing legal documentation for day to day use by a) Forming groups of students. b) Allotting them topics. c) Guiding them for preparation and presentation. d) Arranging question answer sessions. e) Conducting discussion. Clinic conducts guest lectures and workshops on legal issues. Clinic conducts visit to court, police station etc. Evidence of Success The legal clinic has been instrumental in creating legal literacy among the students and the community. The students are taking more interest because they get practical knowledge and opportunity to interact with the community in solving their problems. There has been a substantial increase in the membership. The Legal clinic has succeeded in creating atmosphere in the society about their objectives and services provided. The common difficulties of students and community are to obtain various certificates which are required in day to day life such as domiciles, nationality, caste, citizenship, birth and death certificate, marriage certificate, pan card, aadhar card etc. The legal clinic has helped the members in guiding and in obtaining some of the certificates. It has created consumer awareness among the students. It helped them to understand type of cases covered under Consumer Protection Act. It also helped to understand practically how to draft the complaint, the documents required, the

152 procedure to be followed, judiciary function, etc. The lectures delivered on legal documentation, helped students understand the importance of documentation in day to day life, matters to be covered under documentation and procedure of registration, stamping, etc. Problems The legal experts on the panel are unable to devote considerable time solely to the cause of Legal Clinic because of other commitments. The Legal Clinic cannot solve all the legal problems brought to them. They act only as advisors and counselors. However, legal clinic is trying to create awareness amongst the community regarding legal aid to the poor through legal aid cell, established by the Law Ministry. Best Practice II Title: Walk for One India Goal To install basic human values like nationalism, patriotism, secularism and to create awareness about environment. To invoke a sense of oneness among students and involve them in creative activities To develop leadership quality. Context In today s era the dynamic young students have not only to be reared but also to be motivated to reach their destinations. The institution is instrumental in moulding the character of students and shaping their destiny, to be responsible citizens of India. The role of youth is of utmost importance in today s time as they have the power to transform our country from a developing nation to a developed nation. There are lots of social problems in our country relating to women, youth, environment, economy, public health etc. Many citizens of India are unaware about their fundamental rights. Hence it is essential that more and more people be made aware of these issues so that we can fight them as a united force. Social awareness also makes the individual more matured and thoughtful when it comes to making important decisions for self or society. It is not very difficult to mobilize the youth for nation building tasks provided that one has the requisite honesty, intelligence and leadership. Once they are genuinely involved, their interest in constructive work would be aroused and they would be prepared to works sincerely for the welfare of the country. The institution s objective is not only to impart education but also to instill basic human values like nationalism, patriotism, secularism etc. With this motive the institution has coined Walk for One India to spread the message of national integration. Practice The college encourages its students to participate in the activity Walk for one India

153 and showcase the diversity of India by using their own creativity. The initiative and enthusiasm of the students brings out a colorful display of Indian culture and invokes a sense of oneness among them. For the last few years the college organized the event - A Walkathon - to promote unity in diversity on the occasion of Republic Day. The walk is organized from Dombivli station to college, a distance of 5km. during which there is a spectacular display of various religious, cultural and social activities of India. Social and Environmental messages are also highlighted. Each class is given one theme and represents one state. The performance of each class is evaluated. Evidence of Success The response is overwhelming from not only the students and teachers but also from the citizens of Dombivli. External participation from NGOs is increasing. Problems We have not yet faced any problem and has successfully organized for the last seven years

209 the stakeholders to further improve upon the level of performance achieved over the years. Following are some of the initiatives undertaken to reinforce the fact that growth is a way of life for Model College: The college has been granted the status of 2(f) and 12 (B) which has enabled to take up expansion with the help of greater financial assistance from UGC and other funding authorities. The college has become ISO 9001:2008 certified standard institution that has propelled the college to adopt and maintain standard methods and procedures in performance and maintenance of records. New campus which is under construction and nearing completion will take care of additional space that may be required to start new programmes and offer better infrastructure to all. Number of programmes the college runs has increased from 6 to 11. The strength of the students has increased to more than 2, 600 that resulted in the college taking up steps to develop better infrastructure and add more space in the form of new premises. New programmes that the college started in the last five years namely B.Sc. (Computer Science), B.Com. (Financial Markets), M.Com. (Management), M.Com. (Banking and Finance), and M.Sc. (IT) have widened the scope of specialization and offered a truly multi-disciplinary character to the institution. The college has applied for Ph.D. centre which, it is hopeful of getting in the near future. This would enable the college to augment its research facilities and encourage the faculty to actively engage in research. The college has not only increased the number of programmes but also improved the academic flexibility by increasing number of subject s offered to more than 200 giving wide choice to student fraternity. The college offers online accessing facility of books for staff and students in the library. The Placement Cell of the college has taken up initiative in inviting corporate entities to the campus for recruitment of its students.

As part of the internal examination, the college conducts online tests that have become more objective and transparent. The faculty is involved in continuous improvement which has encouraged them to take up minor and major research projects with assistance from the management and the University of Mumbai. The college has set up a Nano Lab with facilities for conducting research. The college has been conducting UGC-sponsored National Seminars in the last few years for the benefit of teachers working in colleges affiliated to universities all over the country. The participation of teachers and presentation of research papers by them have resulted in knowledge upgradation and improvement in career prospects. The college has always recognized the importance of library in knowledge enrichment. During the last five years, it has added more than 6, 000 books to the already precious library collections
