FOREWORD

We, the Principal and the staff members of Arts, Commerce & Science College,

Nandgaon have great pleasure in humbly submitting the NAAC Re-accreditation

Report to the NAAC, Bangalore.

We are fully aware of the fact that evaluation and testing are the areas of

specialization and need special abilities and knowledge that come out from

constant efforts over the years to maintain the quality in the given task.

We have been benefited from the past NAAC accreditation and

assessment. During the last five years we tried our level best to improve

ourselves in all the academic spheres. We wish to specially mention our efforts

in the field of research. Taking reviews of the previous experiences and

implementing the modifications, the college is constantly leading on the path of

academic excellence. Going hand in hand with the vision and mission of the

University and our parent institution, we have been putting in all the efforts to

provide quality higher education to prepare our students to face the

complexities created by the demands of the globalized world.

In this report we have put in sincere efforts for assessing our working and

achievements which have made us know our strengths and areas needing

improvement. We welcome your specialized feedback and assure that all will be

worked upon effectively in the near future.

We believe this report provides a vivid picture of our performance which is being

assessed by the NAAC Peer Team.

The Management consists of the Executive Committee with the Executive Officers and

Members of the Executive Committee who represent the Samaj for bringing about the social

reformation in the lives of common people as a commitment.

The college had its first Assessment and Accreditation in December 2003 and was

awarded the grade at 'B' level. Now, we feel that the re-accreditation is an opportunity for us to

introspect ourselves and mark the level of our achievements. It may help us to chalk out the plan

for the future advancements too. We would like to put forth a record of our college with its

geographical location, academic status, administrative strategies, and its goal-oriented moves in

brief.

Nandgaon is a small town in Nashik District of Maharashtra State. Its population, is

nearabout 27000. It is a tehsil place located in the eastern part of the district. It can be looked

upon as a remote rural place as its distance from Nashik, Pune and Mumbai is 112 kms., 300


3

kms. and 286 kms. respectively. Besides this, Nandgaon lies in the rural drought-prone area

where the people suffer from acute scarcity of water. The average rainfall in this area is only 550

mm. i.e. 21.65 inches per year. The figures of the average rainfall for the last four years reflect

the same truth:

Year Rainfall (in mms.)

2005-2006 : 831.03

2006-2007 : 627.02

2007-2008 : 672.00

2008-2009 : 790.00

2009-2010 : 520.00 (Source : Record of the Panchayat Samiti, Nandgaon)

The fact that out of the total 100 villages 56 villages receive drinking water under the

scheme of “Maharashtra Jivan Pradhikaran”, also corroborates the above fact. Nandgaon is

devoid of any industrial area. There are a few small scale private industries named Priya Neel

and Washing Powder, Bemko Sleepers (which runs intermittently due to severe labour

problems), Silkeshine Shampoo, Sunanda Industries, Rainbow Paints, etc. employing not more

than four or five hundred people in all. There are approximately 30 high schools in the whole

tehsil of which four are located in Nandgaon proper. One of the four is Urdu medium high

school providing education to a small Muslim population which resides in the town. Nandgaon

is a small station on Central Railway line and 24 kms. away from Manmad Railway Junction.

Moreover, the student population of the college belongs to the middle class and the lower

middle class. Many of the students come from the family of farmers with small land- holdings,

and farm labour and most of them are under the category of ‘first learner generation’. These

students commute from the nearby villages. To impart the educational training to the rural farmer

families, the institution had decided to run a college at Nandgaon.

This College was established in the year 1972 as a degree College offering various

courses in traditional disciplines like Arts and Commerce. At juvenile stage the college had

shared the building of New English School, Nandgaon which is a sister institute run by the same

Management. In 1987, the college was shifted to the existing building. Later on in the year 1992

it started its Science faculty. Since 1984, the college has been recognized under the UGC sections

F(2) and 12 (B). At present the College is considered to be one of the premier colleges in this

area having reasonably good infrastructure and necessary facilities and support services. It is now

permanently affiliated to the University of Pune. The motto of the parent Society i.e. M.V.P.


4

Samaj and the College is "Bahujan Hitay Bhahujan Sukhay" (for the betterment of all and for

the happiness of all).

Having linked with the motto of the parent institution, the college aims at providing

higher education and all round development of the students from the rural area in general and

around Nandgaon tehsil in particular.

The faculty of Arts offers Marathi, English, Hindi, Economics, Politics, Geography as

special subjects at degree level and Public Administration and History of Civilization at general

level in addition to the above special level subjects. In the year 2001-2002 the college started

post-graduate department of Marathi. The Commerce faculty offers Marketing and Salesmanship,

Business Entrepreneurship, Cooperation, Commercial Geography, Principles and Functions of

Management, Corporate Accounting, Business Economics, Elements of Company Law, Business

Communication, Cost and Works Accounting, Computer Application, Business Regulatory

Framework, Advanced Accountancy, International Economics, Auditing and Taxation.

The Science faculty offers Chemistry, Physics and Botany at principal level, and Zoology

and Mathematics at general level.

The College is housed in a spacious building having required laboratories and

independent building for science faculty. The library is having all other essential amenities. The

college also has a hostel for girls.

The Goals of the College

The college has been constantly striving

to impart quality based higher education to the academically underprivileged and down-

trodden people in the rural area and bring them into the mainstream of the society.

to develop responsible and sensitive youth having social commitment.

to broaden the vision so that the youth have a panoramic view of the society.

to create human resources with modern view and foresight which can adapt themselves to the

modern technology and strive for the well-being and development of the country.

to inculcate values enshrined in the Constitution of India.

This college has been trying to keep pace with the progress of the contemporary

educational and national zeal. It is grouped in the rural areas since the inhabitants belong to the

farmer families, scheduled castes and tribes, socially and economically backward classes who

require some starting push in the form of academic and civilized diffusion for their upliftment.

The motto of the MVP Samaj’s is ‘Bahujan Hitay Bahujana Sukhay’ i.e. ‘for the happiness and

benefits of the Masses.’ This college has geared up to reach at the promises made in the form of


5

the objectives in the first Assessment and Accreditation experienced in December, 2004. The

present evaluative report would be the evidence of our constant efforts and views on changing

world with changing demands that the curricular and extra-curricular activities carried out in that

line during the report period of five years. We are aware of the national, ethical and cultural

values. By promoting the use of modern technology (ICT), we attempt to foster the global

competence among the students and contribute to the national development. For that the college

has always been involved in the academic and socio-cultural activities which bear the elements of

developmental education.

We always look forward to having the strategy for generating the human resources which

satisfy our internal need for the skilled human power. We organize higher education to educate

students in competence and skills to succeed in an interdependent world. We make pro-active

efforts to attract young members from the disadvantaged or adivasi groups into the mainstream of

higher education by devising well-designed and consistent remedial support both at the academic

as well as the financial level. These efforts could be better contribution to caring of equity

considerations. Emerging national needs require quality education and to promote quality

consciousness, we try at our level best to create a more open and flexible educational structure by

using the student oriented policies in academic and extension activities. The following executive

summary may disclose the important aspects of the college that are reflected in the previous data

depicted in the profile.

An Executive Summary Since its establishment in 1972, this college has its dynamicity at all levels. One level is its

infrastructure and other is its academic expansion and extension. Initially, it was Arts and

Commerce College only. Now there is a full-fledged degree college in Arts, Commerce and

Science streams.

The present report could be the most reliable record of the academic and socio-cultural

activities conducted in its periphery by the college during last five years. The criterion-wise

evaluation shows that the college has been trying its level best to pave ways through many

hurdles in the forms of economic and academic limitations.

The Curriculum Design and its implementation are the core of all academic activities

which have been the basics of establishing and maintaining the excellence in teaching and

learning practices. All the programmes viz B.A., B.Com., B.Sc. and M.A. have more of skill

content rather than knowledge content. All this requires a kind of adaptation of a new strategy to

cope with the circumstances to bring the values of higher education into actual reality as an


6

outcome. Without any compromise in quality, we try to uplift our learners to the mark of general

standard as the University curriculum designer expected and our mission statement reflects. For

that we have an allotment of work for keeping us updated by ascribing the responsibilities. The

faculty and the students are included in the process of decision making and implementation of

activities planned and proposed by the University and the parent institution. The parent

institution plays a very important role in making the curriculum need-based. There is a

centralized procedure of systematization of syllabus-division, teaching-learning practices,

intermediate assessment and evaluation, and proper feedback. Even in the process of syllabus

designing at the university level, the faculty have been representing us by considering the local

requirements. Though we have limitations in offering academic flexibility in terms of different

programmes and course choice, there are several ways of making the academic activities student-

oriented. The college obtains feedback from the students, parents and community to verify the

practicality and validity of the programmes.

The best practices in Teaching-Learning Practices are the transparency in the admission

process by proper publicity through prospectus, local newspapers and website. The remedial

teaching and need-based teaching-learning practices are habitual for us. The book-banks and

study materials have been circulated among the students. The relevance of subject knowledge has

been proved through practical sessions and demonstrations. The teachers have teaching plans,

diary, students’ attendance sheets, and academic calendar to keep up their particularity. For the

faculty improvements, the teachers, non-teaching staff have been allowed to attend and

participate in the seminars, workshops and training programmes to improve quality.

The Computer-aided Commerce and language laboratories are the modern teaching aids

used for effective learning. In addition to the University of Pune examination and result patterns,

we have an internal assessment and evaluation process. It has been carried out by adopting the

centralized method at the Institutional level for all the colleges regularly.

The co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are the markers of the innovative and

supporting practices to improve the academic standard and the learner-oriented strategies of the

college. These are achieved through the organization of seminars, workshops, personality and

Soft-skills Development Programmes, visits and interactions with the experts from different areas

of subject-knowledge and fields of education and employment. During the last five years, no year

has been passed without any seminars and workshops in a subject or discipline. In 2006-07 one

seminar, 2007-08 two seminars, 2008-09 five, and 2009-10 four seminars were organized.

Besides these seminars, the guest lecture series were also arranged for updating the subject

knowledge and information about the relevance of the courses. The training courses, camps and


7

cultural activities are conducted to encourage the learners to enrich their latent potential through

these programmes.

The college has its limitations in bringing about any advancement in terms of ‘Research

Consultancy and Extension Activities’ for the students and the UG class students are least related

to the research activities. However, for the sake of the faculty improvement and quality

enhancement, the college and the MVP Samaj have been very particular to insist on these

activities to be supported meticulously. Both morally and financially, the researchers have been

encouraged. Among the college faculty, 7 M.Phil degree holders, 5 Ph.D. holders and 3 appeared

for Ph.D. degree in the University of Pune and North Maharashtra University. Prin. Dr. D. B.

Shinde (Commerce) Dr. R. K. Deore (Marathi), Dr. Uddhav A. Ashturkar (English), and Dr. G.

H. Jain (Physics) have been engaged in research guidance and providing expertise to the co-

curricular activities as resource persons. Dr. Uddhav A. Ashturkar and Dr. G. H. Jain have been

doing work on the Major Research Projects funded by UGC, New Delhi.

The College has almost solved the problem of the ‘Infrastructure and Learning Resources’

with many efforts. The optimum use the infrastructure has been observed to make most of the co-

curricular and extra-curricular activities possible. The land admeasuring the area 8.6 acres

occupied with 2502 sq. metres construction and remaining amenities with open space and

playground facilities are available on the campus. The building contains the 12 classrooms,

library, NSS Section, College Canteen, Non-resident Centre, Audio-visual Cell, Commerce

Laboratory, Girls’ Hostel, Science Building, Administrative Office, Principal’s office, Vice-

Principal’s cabin, Store Room, computer laboratory, Gymkhana office, ladies common room,

staff room, language room, and sanitary blocks, Parking Shade, and 400 mtr track with kabbadi,

kho-kho, volleyball, and badminton courts and playgrounds for athletics. Ever increasing

requirements of the infrastructure will be satisfied within a short period of time. However, with

the collaboration of the Taluka Sports Office, more sports facilities and accommodation

arrangements have been made whenever needed. The parent institute is always keen to support us

with financial assistance whenever required.

The college has created its place amongst the public of the area by adopting the strategy of

cooperation and caretaking so that ‘Student Support and Progression’ has been worth-

considering. Everything is student-oriented and society-oriented, by involving or excluding them.

The fee-structure, freeships, scholarships, concessions, financial aids, insurance, counselling,

guidance and placement, career-orientation, quasi-professional coaching, communication skills in

English, soft-skills development programme, personality development, women empowerment,

and over all progression of the students have been the regular practices of our college. For that

the alumni association, and the local stakeholders have been included and have created the


8

homely feelings to reach at our goals fixed. The MVP Samaj has always backboned us

financially and morally to carry out all such students and community welfare activities. The

students from all the colleges run by the parent institution have been brought together purposely

through the camps, competitions, sports, and different socio-cultural activities organized at the

MVP Samaj level to have general exchange of views and interactions on the current issues or

recent demands of the world. Their requirements or progress have been measured by adopting the

systems of feedback mechanism. All these practices could help for quality enhancement and

academic excellence.

Under the criterion ‘Governance and Leadership,’ there is a notable aspect of leadership,

management, and governance quality of the college and the MVP Samaj. The management

mechanism is both democratic and community-oriented. All factors related to, or affiliated to the

college and the Samaj, have been involved into the process of administration and healthy

practices. The recruitments of the faculty and the staff, administrative strategies, financial

provisions, feedback and mechanism for improving academic and administrative qualities and the

grievance redressal cell and central administrative system of the MVP Samaj are the most high-

lighting aspects of the college in particular. The transparency in administration, decision making,

and admission process has been the best practice. There are the two levels of auditing – one is at

the internal (institute level) and the other is at the government level regularly.

The College has ‘Innovative Practices’ through the active role of the IQAC, the LMC, and

the Alumni association. The management and the college administrative bodies have been very

sensitive to enhance quality. The students, parents, stakeholders, community, and the

management jointly work out for improving quality. The academic and extra-curricular activities

and the administrative practices are properly co-ordinated and concurred. All the authorities go

through feedback of the academic and administrative performance and the general policy is

determined to remove the difficulties and redressing the problems if any. The LMC president Mr.

Dilip Raghunath Patil and other members have always been active and cooperative to achieve the

goals set by the college.

In short, the college has been functioning on the proper line of actions and keeping the

pace with the changing local, national, and international scenario. Attempts have been made in

the direction of adjusting all the academic and socio-cultural activities to match with and

maintain the national and cultural values which are expected through the higher education system

in India. The details of all these aspects are given in the following criterion-wise description. We

hope that this may be satisfactory.

CRITERION-WISE EVALUATIVE REPORT

CRITERION-WISE EVALUATIVE REPORT

This part of the report is a reflection of the specific information and key aspects of the

college to claim the qualities and quantities as its strengths, beside its weaknesses. Each of the

criteria has been illustrated with our aims and objectives, events and activities, reasons and

results, and evidenced authentically to make the report reliable and worth considerable for

accreditation.

Criterion – I : Curricular Aspects Criterion-I– Curricular Aspects

1.1.- Curriculum Design and Development

This college has been working in the rural area for the disadvantaged people. By following

the footprints of the fathers, great social reformers, karmaveers and pioneers of the Maratha

Vidya Prasarak Samaj, Nashik we always think of the benefits and well-being of the masses; so it

has been the goal of our every academic and socio-cultural activity carried out in the college. The

faculty, the students, the parents and the management have the identical views and ideas. The

vision and mission statement of the college given below are the explanation of the motto of the

parent institution i.e. Education for the masses.

1.1.1 State the vision and mission of the institution, and how it is communicated to the

students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders?

MISSION STATEMENT

"Our responsibility is to make wise, responsible and law-abiding citizens with life-

respecting disposition out of the rural students in collaboration with the society in general.”

Our Vision

Imparting academic training to the rural students and work for the betterment

of their intellectual, academic and physical abilities.

Making the academically challenged students self-reliant.

Making the students materially and morally rich by instilling values in them.

Making the students responsible individuals with well-balanced personality.

Giving back to the society the philanthropic citizens.


10

This mission statement and visions are circulated primarily through the prospectus which

is the first document that every student gets on the very first day of college. It is displayed on the

notice-board to have its glimpse to all viewers. It is also hung in the corridor at the entrance to be

before the eyes of the beneficiaries. They are communicated to the teachers, the staff and

stakeholders via the photostat copies in the first meeting.

1.1.2. How does the mission statement reflect the institution’s distinctive characteristics in

terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, institution’s

traditions and value orientation?

The mission statement reflects the distinctive characteristics of the college in terms of the

addressing needs of the society. Now-a-days, society especially the rural, backward, community,

requires upliftment and it is possible only when it has the youth of courage, capacity and

confidence; and it is possible only when they have the skills and abilities of converting

information into knowledge by translating it into wisdom. The life values, the relevant ideas and

opinions extracted from learning could be the tools to fight the battle of life in the present world.

And this is our responsibility to be shouldered all times through our tasks of motivating the

learners to reach the goal set by the higher education. As stated earlier that the parent institution

at large strives for the masses and the backward people and makes them aware of their existence

and role to be played in the setup of the country. This is our tradition that is derived from the

founder stalwarts of the Samaj. The native and national values have been established and

maintained through the celebration and sustenance of the age-traditions at the local and national

level. We make the learners aware of the cultural and social values for building their own

personalities for building of the nation. These values are referred to in the mission statement and

the vision listed above.

1.1.3. Are the academic programmes in line with the institution’s goals and objectives? If

yes, give details on how the curricula developed, address the needs, of the society and have

relevance to the regional/ national/ global trends and developmental needs?

The academic programmes such B.A., B. Com., B.Sc. and M.A. are certainly in the line

with the institution’s goals and objectives. The curricula designed and developed by the

University of Pune with the help of its various Boards of studies in each faculty and subject made

available in each of the disciplines. The co-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities

make it possible to bring the issues and requirements into discussion; and the solutions or

remedies have been suggested directly or indirectly through the schemes and events conducted in

the college. For instance, the democratic principles of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice have

been practiced through the functioning of the college in terms of admission, celebration of


11

anniversaries of national leaders, freedom fighters and social reformers to mark their greatness in

particular and to socio-cultural values in general. It is done in addition to the syllabus prescribed

for the students of Political Science and History of Civilization. The curricula of Marathi, Hindi

and English language and literature encompass the regional, national and global needs through

the texts and generate the spirit and urge for the social and national conservation and progress

too. The problems of discriminations at the economic, social, and castes or religion level have

been pointed out to be irrational and beastly qualities and the learners are convinced to remove

these social evils through the social awareness campaigning programmes, through lecture series

and demonstration rally shows on the celebration of national festivals.

The founders of the parent institution (formerly known as ‘Udoji Maratha Boarding’) now

called ‘Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj,’ Karmaveer Raosaheb Thorat, Karmaveer Bhausaheb

Hirey, Karmaveer Annasaheb Murkute, and so on propounded the germs of social reformation

besides the political freedom, for the national integration and development, and concentrated on

the diffusion of education to all levels of common people society. We have a long glorious

heritage of such selflessly devoted personalities who rendered their yeomen service to the

common people. We recognize the present needs of information technology and communication

through English; we mould the minds of the disadvantaged to turn towards the higher education

of ICT. As we have the science discipline and a separate department of Computer Science, we

manage to have computer training and eligibility of operating the computers. We a computer

laboratory equipped with 22 computers with internet terminals. This may bridge a gap between

the weaker sections and the forward classes of the society. Through the power point presentation

and internet facilities, we expose our students to the new trends and ways of communication and

global studies.

The Soft-Skills Development programmes and personality development lectures have

been organized meticulously and the disadvantaged students have been introduced to the new

values of socio-cultural life and needs of corporate world around. All the aspects of developed

personality and new devices of adding to self-development are the areas enlisted in these

programmes as the University of Pune has introduced these schemes for finding the right spirit of

the youth and boosting to enlarge their potentials in the form of full-fledged personalities. The

interview techniques, communication skills, transactional analysis, goal-setting, personality

development, SWOT analysis, time management, body-language, public speaking, intelligence

and creativity and group discussion as a skill of communication etc. are the contents to enrich

their personality through the Soft Skills Development Programme in the college. The

presentation and interaction sessions are the teaching skills which develop the students’

personalities for making them able and capable beings. The debating, elocution, poetry recital,


12

essay-writing, simulation and dramatization are the co-curricular activities conducted regularly.

For instance, the Annual Youth Week Function is celebrated by organizing the competitions and

games and prizes are distributed to felicitate and inspire the learners.

The ‘Environmental Awareness’ is the newly introduced compulsory course at the Second

year of all the streams. Our students of B.A., B.Com., and B.Sc. have to complete a project report

on an environmental problem or issue and suggest a solution or recommend the optional ways of

avoiding the man-made or natural calamities such as deforestation, air-water and soil pollution,

unhygienic living conditions due to industrialization and mechanization of production

procedures, decrease of ozone layer and problem of environmental equilibrium, overuse of

polythene or plastic and new style of social behaviour etc. These problems are highlighted

through the teaching of the subject.

To support it, we have some regular awareness programmes like the National Service

Scheme (NSS) and Student Welfare Scheme to create an understanding ourselves to help solving

their personal problems with their involvement or active participation. Through the regular

activities and camping programmes of NSS the college can keep free access to the

disadvantaged, and villagers who need to have new refined ideas and reformative views to

galvanize their age-old darkened life situations. During the last five years, the college has

organized the Special Winter Camping Programmes by determining the themes like tree-

plantation, Social forestry, Water management, Eradication of Superstitions and black magic

notions, Free from Open Sanitation and cleanliness, and significance of service to man and

society. Under the Student Welfare Scheme of the University of Pune, we implement the ‘Earn

and Learn’ scheme for the needy and economically backward students for two purposes. One is

to provide them a little financial help and the other is to let them know their personal abilities,

value of money, and self-development.

Thus, to accompany the curricula, the extra-curricular and extension activities could be the

major accessible events to bring the mission and vision of the college into reality.

1.1.4. How does the curriculum cater to inclusion /integration of Information and

Communication Technology (ICT) in the curriculum, for equipping to compete in the

global employment markets?

The curriculum caters to inclusion or integration of Information and Communication

Technology (ICT) in the curriculum. Now-a-days, the use of computer and internet has become

an essential practice. The faculty of all the streams have been making use of the audio-visual

equipments to introduce the students to the requirements of the new era of technology. The


13

computer illiteracy has been the drawback of the traditional society; and the process of

globalization and liberalization has made it mandatory to have the ICT competence in the

students to compete in the global employment markets. The deliberate use of LCD and

Computers make the learner bold enough to face the modern market situations.

1.1.5. Specify the initiatives and contributions of the institution in the curriculum design

and development process. (Need assessment, development of information database,

feedback from faculty, students, alumni, employees and academic peers, and

communicating the information and feedback for appropriate inclusion and decisions in

statutory academic bodies, Membership of BOS and by sending agenda items etc.)

Actually no college that affiliated to the University of Pune has any direct role to play in

the curriculum design and development process, since the Board of studies have been the

authoritative bodies in this regard. The faculty, elected or nominated from different affiliated

colleges, are the members of the BOS in the subjects frame the syllabi as per the norms and

directives laid down by the University Grants Commission. However, before framing the syllabi,

the BOS invites views and suggestions from the experienced faculty from different colleges from

different areas and social settings on nature and content of them at the specific level. Prin. Dr. D.

B. Shinde (Commerce), Dr. R. K. Deore (Marathi), Prof. A. T. Kasabe (Political Science), Prof.

S. A. Marathe (Political Science) and Dr. G. H. Jain (Physics) have contributed to the framing of

the syllabus of their concerned subjects in the University of Pune and have been playing the vital

role in developing the curriculum by prescribing the syllabi relevant and essential to the students

from the rural as well as the urban area for setting them competent in the employment markets.

The rest of the faculty members participate in the seminars and workshops on syllabus framing

organized by the university authorities to collect views and requirements of the society and

employers.

The process of syllabus framing has been made realistic and need-based through the

assessment of needs and recommendations made by the experts of the subjects. The college tries

to involve the alumni and academic peers, faculty, and the community. The teachers have taken

initiatives and contributed a lot in the process of curriculum design by putting their ideas as

agenda items before the decision taking bodies of the university.

1.2. Academic Flexibility

1.2.1 What are the range of programmes options available to learners in terms of Degrees,

Certificates and Diplomas?


14

Academic flexibility has been observed in terms of the options of programmes made

available to the learners in the college. The college has the 4 programmes- B.A., B.Com. B.Sc.

and M.A. degrees, and the groups and optional subjects have been given in the syllabi. The

course options and the range of the programmes have been prescribed and restricted by the

University of Pune. The grouping and alternatives have been decided as the course design and the

learners have to offer the course and its subjects of their choice in the given limitations. The

question paper patterns and examination systems, process of assessment and evaluation,

qualifying percentage and ordinances for grace marks and the A.T.K.T. rules are given

readymade and there is no choice at all. Besides these four options of programmes, we are

permitted to start M.A. in Political Science from the year 2010-2011on no-grant basis by the

Govt. of Maharashtra. This addition would be beneficial to the students from this area, since

there is no other college in the taluka offering this course. The range of programmes will be

increased and it will more beneficial to the region. Because of social poverty, the college cannot

afford to start any certificate or diploma course as such courses are mostly the high charges

courses; and the students from this area are not in a position to pay.

1.2.2. Give details on the following provisions with reference to academic flexibility, value

addition and course enrichment:

To explain the academic flexibility and the range of programmes available in the college,

the position of courses and subjects, would define the validity and practicability of the system

implemented in the college. The following chart shall indicate the academic flexibility we offer

At this level, the students have to select any one from their S.Y.B.Sc. Subjects (except

languages) as their special subject. Each special subject contains six theory papers and three

practical courses. The third practical course of Physics is a Project Work. The college offers the

following special subjects to the science students:

A) Chemistry

B) Physics

C) Botany

C) Add-on Courses

Add on courses are not available in the college.

d) Interdisciplinary Courses

It is not practised as long as Arts, Commerce and Science courses are concerned. The

University of Pune has not yet introduced any courses in which such interdisciplinary approach is

possibly implemented.

e) Flexibility to the students

Moving from Science to Commerce or from Commerce to Arts discipline is allowed as the

University of Pune allows. But no student can move from Arts to Commerce or Science.

Moreover, any graduate can be admitted to M.A.


26

f) Flexibility to pursue the programme

The programmes like B.A., B.Com or B.Sc. with reference to the time frame is compared

as all the programmes have the same time span for completion i.e. the period of consecutive three

complete academic years.

1.2.4. Does the institution offer any self-financed programmes in the institution? If yes, list

them and indicate how they differ from other programmes, with reference to admission,

curriculum, fee structure, teacher qualification and salary etc.

NO

1.3. Feedback on Curriculum

1.3.1. How does the college obtain feedback on curriculum from-

a) Students:-

Every year, the teachers spend some periods for raising the students consciousness

regarding the texts prescribed that they come across initially. Then at the term end, their reactions

are being considered and sent to the statutory bodies working on framing syllabus to reach at the

objectives set in the curriculum. The feedback is taken orally from the students throughout the

year.

b) Alumni:-

The alumni association has its regular meetings during the academic year at least twice;

and their feedback is taken through the formal discussion at the meeting. They add their own

experiences. For example, the emphasis of communicative English has been the need of the day

and so the text-book should be more of communication skills and less of the theory-based units.

Such suggestions have been made by the alumni. The teaching of accountancy and Banking in

the B.Com course should be practice-oriented. These suggestions and other discussions are

recorded in the alumni minutes of meetings.

c) Parents:-

There are no formal systems practised in the college. Still, the parents have been in contact

with the teachers and they know the curriculum that is revised intermittently to update its

relevance and validity.

d) Employers/Industries:

The College organizes the demonstrations or guidance sessions for motivating the students

to prepare themselves to get into certain jobs that they deserve. While considering the

performances of the students, the employers such as the bank officers and officials from the


27

Police department came to interact with our students, they seemed to be satisfied with the present

curriculum.

The most considerable thing is that the Boards of Studies (BoS) of each of the departments

are formed by involving at least one member from the industries, business or corporate world.

They could provide their expertise to design curriculum by considering the present requirements

and practicability of the subjects for making careers and earning one’s living.

e) Academic peers:

The College ensures that the aims and objectives of the curriculum are to be matching to

academic standards determined by all academics. The seminars and workshops are conducted by

the college to have views on the curriculum, the gradation of teaching materials, the difficulty-

level of content, and methods of testing and evaluation. All these stages of curriculum are

discussed and reached at some fruitful conclusions.

f) Community:

Informally, the community that concerns has been a keen observer of the practices and

results of the college education. When the passed out learners could get good jobs, or their

parents feel satisfied with the learning and mental skilful training of their wards that they acquire

for making lives full of solace; then the curriculum appears to be fruitful and this is the actual

feedback of the community.

1.3.2. How is the above feedback analyzed and the outcome/suggestions used for continuous

improvements, and communicated to the affiliating university for appropriate inclusion?

The formal ways of obtaining feedback from the students, alumni, and academic peers are

properly noted and considered for the improvements in the curriculum. The Principal, the Vice

Prin. and the shift-in-charge have formed a committee to look into the verbal feedback obtained

from the students. The strengths and weaknesses are pointed out and they are properly brought to

the notice of the respective faculty. The committee suggests remedies for overcoming the

lacunas. The improvements are made continuously as per the valuable and useful suggestions.

Those views and recommendations are communicated to the makers of the curriculum of the

University of Pune to have the discussion and accordingly the inclusion of the expected topics or

deletion of unnecessary area of studies could be done from time to time.


28

1.4. Curriculum Update

1.4.1. What are the frequency and the basis for syllabus revision and what are the major

revisions made during the two years?

The college has been completely dependent on the University of Pune to have changes or

the revision in the curriculum. The University functions as per the UGC rules and conditions for

maintaining quality and excellence in higher education. The University of Pune has the BOS in

all the subjects and they have rights to revise the syllabus with proper consent of the Academic

Council. After every three years, normally such revision takes place. The basis for syllabus

revision is to update the curriculum, and for that inclusion of the suggestions and

recommendations have been considered to make the syllabus student-oriented and need-based.

The major revisions in the syllabi have been made during the last two years. The curricula

of all the programmes are changed. Those changes in all subjects are as follows:

1.4.2. How does the institution ensure that the curriculum bears a thrust on core values

adopted by NAAC?

The revised curriculum certainly bears a thrust on core values such as National

development, global competence; inculcate value system, use of ICT and the quest for

excellence. The course contents and the aims and objectives of the subjects reflect the same. The

teaching methodology and the evaluation patterns also correlate the ideas behind the core values.

The curriculum includes the subjects, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities; the contents

like communication and the application of the information are the classroom activities which

have been of considerable significance while referring to the usefulness of higher education.


30

Each of the subjects has been carrying the burden of national development in terms of

individual personality development, enriching one’s economic position, social commitments,

social justice, ensuring equity, and contributing to the nation through personal devotion and duty-

consciousness. For example, the subjects in the Arts faculty are the sources of human

development. The language subjects like Marathi, Hindi, and English are taught with the purpose

of making students aware of the different communicative skills, and developing among them an

ability to effectively communicate in English, both in written and spoken modes. It is also the

objective to develop linguistic and pragmatic competence among the students and to prepare

them to develop competence for self-learning. There is an objective to encourage and enable the

students to read various types of texts on their own and discuss them among the peers. The

literature papers are there to acquaint the learners with the forms of literature and to initiate them

into the first hand experience of reading literary texts to impart the skills and develop an ability

of using English and other languages for effective communication. The teachers are guided to

motivate the learners to grapple with the language and the context of each text on their own and

discover the joy of reading literature. The curiosity-rousing questions before the teaching of the

text followed by discussion-sessions to highlight thematic and linguistic aspects of the literary

piece would be a fruitful method of dealing with the texts. The subjects included in the mental

and moral sciences like Economics, Geography, History of Civilization, Politics, etc. are taught

with objectives to acquaint the students with the theories and practices in the present human life

transactions and political policies. To inculcate the socio-cultural aspects as the values of society,

nation and the world in the mind of the youth, these subjects help building up their personalities

and making them aware of national and international social, economic, cultural and political

affairs. For instance, the celebration of ‘Marathi Day’, ‘Hindi Day’ and other Day cultures are to

add to the cultural values. The Business Communication in the faculty of Commerce is to provide

perspectives on the business affairs and the characteristic features of the corporate world and

business administration. The students are introduced to the strategies and norms of the business

enterprises to make them capable to enter the commercial ventures. The economic and social

values are pointed out to be adopted to become the successful economic citizens.

To achieve core competence and face global requirements, every student is made

creative, innovative, and industrious in approach by using ICT in teaching-learning and healthy

practices. For instance, the communication and presentation skills development, and creativity

apprenticeship are the necessary stages which are taken care of in the college. The Arts,

Commerce and Science disciplines are basically meant for the development of human beings at

the mental, moral, cultural and scientific (attitude) level of personality.


31

The students should relate the actual life conditions to the values that they prefer, or

should adopt. The common necessary values like cooperation and mutual understanding have

been inculcated and as they are taught since the primary education are to be continued during the

higher education. This aspect is looked after by conducting social and cultural functions in the

college through various competitions like debating, elocution, essay writing, singing, poetry

recital, communal get-together and study tours, camping programmes and joint activities in the

schemes like NSS, Earn and Learn Scheme, Annual Youth Week, seminars and workshops, etc.

These are the blue-print activities to project the life situations or necessities in the college.

The college has a well-equipped computer laboratory with 22 computers. Even it is

mandatory that every teacher should make use of CDs, VCDs, LCD projector, computer

programmes, and Internet facilities to imbibe the attraction and competence of using the devices

of information technology. Use of technology is preferred in teaching-learning process, storing

information and managing it for making life successfully worth-living, and communicating faster

than ever to everyone around us.

It is the SWOT analysis of the individuals who make the college to gauge the success rate,

evaluate regular academic and co-curricular activities, and find out the strengths and weaknesses

to improve continuously. For instance, ‘The Soft Skills Development Programme’ which is

innovatively introduced by the University of Pune has been rigorously implemented in the

college. For the last five years, the college has been conducting a batch of 50 to 60 students every

year. This programme is on the personality development in which the units like communication

skills, goal setting, analysis of strong and weak points to avoid vices and enrich the virtues,

interview techniques, mind control, and stress management have been included. This is the quest

for excellence that is one of the core values stated by the NAAC.

1.4.3. Does the institution use the guidelines of statutory bodies (UGC/AICTE/State

Councils of HE and other bodies) for developing and / or restructuring the curricula?

The University of Pune in general and the college as affiliated to it in particular have been

very keen in obeying the guidelines laid down by the UGC and State Councils of Higher

Education (HE) of Maharashtra. The BoS and the Executive Bodies of the University strictly

follow the norms and standards desired by the UGC in curriculum design and framing syllabi to

prescribe in the affiliated colleges. The college unexceptionally obeys all the orders and circulars

to maintain the national standards at par. In the recent curriculum revisions, all BOS bodies in the

University have kept the uniformity in the selection of texts, term-granting patterns and question

paper patterns for assessment and proper evaluation to measure the quality and excellence of the

learners at the university level. For instance, the curricula of Commerce subjects are restructured


32

recently as per the aspects suggested for inclusion in the curricula of the higher education at the

national level. Similarly, the subjects in the faculty of Arts and Fine Arts are also reframed to

meet the present demands of the national spirit and the liberalized world.

The college is aware of the national character and responsibilities of plugging every

student to the current issues and duties to prepare their mind set to overcome difficulties and

contribute to the National development, preservation of appropriate socio-cultural values,

democratic principles and environment.

1.4.4. How are the existing courses modified to meet the emerging /changing national and

global trends?

As stated earlier, the recent revisions in curricula taken place at the University and college

level have been the markers of the understanding and consciousness of current needs and highly

demanded changes in the higher education to procure the competent and skilled personnel and

entrepreneur at one level and the balanced, cultured citizens at the other through the system of

higher education implemented at the colleges. So the college has made attempts to reach at the

national goals. In the previous question, the modifications in the courses are listed. To depict how

they could meet the changing national and global trends the details are as follows:

1. Communicative English is emphasized at the degree level. That could make students stand

confidently in the global markets.

2. The e-Commerce and Computer Application, Business Management, Marketing etc. are

the newly introduced subjects which are restructured to meet the present demands of the

corporate world.

3. The social sciences are also modified to make the students capable to face the new

challenges and settle themselves in the cut-throat competitions in every situation.

4. The environmental Science is the compulsory course introduced by the University of Pune

for the second year of all the degree courses such B.A./B.Com./B.Sc. etc. The contents of

this course certainly snatch the learners’ attention towards the dire need of this awareness

to every human who dwells in the world.

5. The use of new information technology and the need-based curricula have been prescribed

in the college; therefore, the college cannot move away from the new trends.

6. The newly emerging areas like Bio-technology and Nano-technology (introductory part)

have been included in the First Year B.Sc. courses.


33

1.5. Best Practices in Curricular Aspects

1.5.1. What are the quality sustenance and quality enhancement measures taken by the

institution during the last five years in curricular aspects?

The college has tried to sustain and enhance quality measures as far as possible in the

forms of the efforts in implementing the curricula as prescribed with inputs of the local

resources and consonances as follows:

Involvement of the faculty in the process of curricula design and development- Prin. Dr.

D. B. Shinde, Dr. R. K. Deore, Prof. A. T. Kasabe, Prof. S. A. Marathe and Dr. G. H. Jain

(the members of BoS) of University of Pune have been active in revising and developing

the curricula of the concerned subjects at both UG and PG level.

Participation of the faculty in the quality improvement programmes: Many of the faculty

members are engaged in research activities. The details have been given in the criterion of

Research, Consultancy and Extension.

However, for the students, the organization of Seminars, workshops, and Quality

Improvement Programmes like Remedial Courses in English are conducted in the college

to enhance quality. The details are as follows:

Dept of English organized Seminars- 3 Seminars (in 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 on

‘Teaching of English in Rural Area’, (University and State Level) and ‘Linguistics and

Literature’ (National Level).

The detailed account of other seminars organized by various Departments in the college

has been given in the IInd and IIIrd concerned criteria.

The organization of Experts’ lecture Series is organized every year in the college for

orienting the students.

What best practices in Curricular Aspects have been planned/implemented by the

institution?

The College plans as per the University guidelines every year regarding the teaching and

evaluation practices in general. However, the local conditions and student oriented

strategies make us deviate from the established norms. They are-

The college has its own planning of curricular activities. Some lectures in the beginning

are spent on preliminary exercises and preparation of students’ mind.

The college always emphasizes to produce the outside expertise from the society by

inviting the guests or experts from different areas of the corporate or industrial world.


34

The college keeps an open access to teachers, students, parents, alumni, and the

community at large to add to or suggest revising and making curriculum more fruitful to

meet the changing trends.

We run the study centre of Y.C.M. Open University for the benefit of the academically

challenged persons.

The college has been implementing the activities expected by the University of Pune

under the Extension Activities like NSS, and Students Welfare Scheme.

Criterion – II: Teaching-Learning and Evaluation

2.1 Admission Process and Student Profile

2.1.1 How does the institution ensure wide publicity to the admission process?

a) Prospectus: The College ensures wide publicity to the admission process through

the prospectus by giving the details of the essential qualification, the documents

required for the eligibility and the registration in the University.

b) Institution: The College has its website: www.nandgaoncollege.com on which

the minimum, but essential information of the courses, subjects, specialization, the

faculty the staff and the college infrastructural facilities are displayed.

c) Admission Counselling Committee guides the students at personal level.

2.1.2 How are the students selected for admission to the following courses? Give the cut

off percentage for admission at the entry level.

The selection of the students for the admission to general courses is not the need of the

area, since the local students are preferably admitted first and then, the Out-Siders are

admitted if the vacancies are available. For all the faculties- B.A./B.Com/B.Sc. the free

choice is given to the students to select their own stream as they have already picked up

for their junior college education. Even some of them can change the discipline at the

entry level i.e. from Science to Commerce and from Commerce to Arts, but not reverse.

2.1.3 How does the institution ensure transparency in the admission process?

The college ensures transparency in the admission process by admitting every student

who approaches us in time. By accepting the principle- ‘First come first serve’ we keep


35

on admitting the students and also keep some vacancies open for the differently disabled

or the weaker section students of the society.

2.1.4 How do you promote access to ensure equity?

We promote the access to ensure equity at our level best by providing various facilities or

concessions to the economically backward, scheduled castes and tribes students to bring

them up to mark.

a) Students from disadvantaged community:

We offer several scholarships funded by the government and the organizations as

stated in the prospectus. Even they are supported with some concession in payment

of the fees. We convince them by making their minds to continue the higher

education and admit them on condition of drawing their dues after the payments of

their scholarships from the govt.

b) Women:

We make a provision of allowing more girls to participate in the academic and extra-

curricular activities and schemes conducted in the college as they should be given

more exposure. For example, the college implements the scholarship schemes

initiated by the parent institute. The scholarship named as Krantijyoti Savitribai

Phule (University of Pune) and another one named as Savitribai Phule (MVP Samaj)

are given to eligible girl students each year.

c) Differently-abled

There are the concession schemes to such students as laid down by the Govt. and the

parent institution has also offered some assistance to them. These are made available

in this college.

d) Economically

The weaker sections: Besides the Scholarships and Freeships, we consider these

students for making payments of minimum fess in instalments, or allow some donors

to pay for them.

e) Sports personnel:

We motivate the sportsmen and women by felicitating, facilitating and providing

concessions for attending sports camps, training sessions outside the campus. By

paying attention individually, and giving incentives in the form of hosiery or

mementoes, and amount to satisfy their academic requirements.


36

2.2. Catering to Diverse Needs

2.2.1. Is there a provision for assessing the students’ knowledge and skills before the

commencement of the programme? If yes, give details on the strategies of the

institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the incoming students for enabling them to

cope with the programmes to which they are enrolled.

Actually the students who come to join the college have the 12th examination as a

qualifying standard; and that is expected to be in the particular discipline. Very few of them

are willing to change their faculty due to some reasons. However, we orient them initially

to face the new topics or areas of the studies they have offered for their degree education.

There are some session conducted for the educationally backward or slow students to cope

with the programmes for which they are enrolled.

2.2.2. How does the institution identify slow and advanced learners? Give details on the

strategies adopted for facilitating slow and advanced learners.

The college identifies the slow and advanced student in the period of a month or so; and the

slow students are given the extra-coaching through guidance scheme implemented by the

University of Pune and Remedial Courses implemented by UGC and the advanced ones are

given the regular academic training. The subjects like English, Mathematics, and

Accountancy require some special efforts to come at par; so we conduct the remedial courses

for them those who are willing to attend.

2.2.3 Does the institution have a provision for tutorials for the students? If yes, give details.

The college has no provision for tutorials for the students. The subject teachers have liberty to

choose this kind of assessment and evaluation process can have this provision of giving

tutorials to the all students to mark up the incidental progress and adopt the teaching-learning

strategies.

2.2.4 Is there a provision for mentoring of students or any similar process? If yes, give

details.

We do not have such a mentoring scheme; however, we take care of such needy and can-do-

attitude students who turn their opportunities into golden chance for making their lives. We

provide financial, moral, and social support to those who are able to acquire the skills and

capacity to get the job or perform in the training course. Mr. Sudhakar Wagh could get


37

through the MPSC Examination and joined as PSI. Mr. Bapu Sonawane has been working as

a Section Officer in the Assembly. Mr. Pankaj Kokate joined Indian Air Force. These are

some of the examples of the personal guidance.

2.2.5 How does the institution cater to the needs of the differently-abled students?

The college caters to the needs of the differently-abled students by making some provisions

like allowing them to perform in the exams or other scheduled academic activities as per

rules or out of compassion. Different scholarships and freeships are also made available for

making up their mind to continue and complete their higher education.

2.3. Teaching- Learning Process

2.3.1. How does the institution plan and organize the teaching-learning and evaluation

schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan and evaluation blue print, etc.)

The college implements all the curricular and extra-curricular plans and activities prescribed

by the University of Pune. In addition to these, we have our parent institutional planning and

schemes for the academic and socio-cultural activities. We follow the university schedule for

the teaching, and evaluation. For the internal assessment and evaluation, we have developed

our centralized patterns of intermediate examination and evaluation; and at the Samaj level,

there is a system of observing the academic standards and accordingly the guidelines are also

laid down to enrich the competence of the faculty and the staff. For example, the first five

rankers, the percentage of the results of the classes, departments, and the streams.

We have the academic calendar at the Samaj level for the general activities to have the

uniformity and integration of all activities. However, we make our planning by considering

the local environmental conditions and convenience. The college has its own year plan of

academic and extra-curricular activities to be implemented during the academic year. Every

teacher has his/her own teaching plan for the respective subjects and internal tests and

examinations like practical and study tours in the respective departments like Geography and

Commerce.

The Academic calendar of the college is as follows:

2.3.2 What are the various teaching- learning methods (lecture method, interactive method,

project-based learning, computer-assisted learning, experimental learning, seminars and

others) used by the teachers? Give details.

At the college level most of the subjects in the Arts faculty could be taught by using invariably

the lecture method while dealing with most of the topics. However, languages- Marathi, Hindi,

English etc. and the practical oriented subjects like geography, psychology, commerce and

History require demonstrations and practical sessions as the part of the teaching strategies of the

course, the lecture method is simply avoided and demonstration and interaction-involvement

method have been chosen to make the teaching –learning effective. Some details are given

below:

1. English/ Marathi/ Hindi languages and literature:

Interactive communicative method; demonstration and dramatization of the topic from the

dramatic texts; the experimental learning while teaching poetry and Fiction; and use of audio-

visual devices like tape-recorder, VCD and LCD projector are used to visualize some subjects,

imagined or real before the learners.

2. Department of Commerce

It has been aware of using the audio-visual aids to make the learners conscious of the technical

facilities and uses of the modern media of communication for day-to-day transaction and trading;

for the emphasis is laid down on the direct visits and interactions with the industrialists and the

entrepreneurs. The faculty is computer literate and resourceful to utilize most of the innovative

tactics and materials updated from time to time through new arrivals and attending the seminars

or workshops.

2.3 Teaching -Learning Process

2.3.2 How is learning made student-centric? What are the institutional strategies, which

contribute to acquisition of life skills, knowledge of management skills and lifelong

learning?

The faculties of each of the Department of Subjects have made it point to provide

education to the last factor of the community; so the extra-classes are arranged for the

weaker students and the remedial teaching is done on the basis of the students’ needs and

level of understanding and abilities.

The college assesses the students at the entry level and after proper detection of slow and

disabled students, and plans accordingly.

The organization of the Soft-skills Development Programme makes the students bold and

extroverts; so that they can speak out their own needs and get themselves satisfied.


42

The students have been given an open access to consult any faculty and solve the

difficulties.

The actual life situations and the knowledge they get through the subject have been

matched analogically and the usefulness of the textual information has been proved

regularly.

2.3.3 How does the institution ensure that the students have effective learning

experiences? (Use of modern teaching aids and tools like computers, audio-visuals

multi-media, ICT, CAL , Internet and other information /materials)

Besides the regular tests and assignments, the students have been assessed through direct

interactions.

The use of OHP, LCD projector and Computer-aided teaching has been encouraged

whenever possible to the faculty.

2.3.4 How do the students and faculty keep pace with the recent developments in the

various subjects?

The Students are informed about the new fields of knowledge and courses. They are sent

to seminars, workshops and study tours to have the access with outside requirements and

demands of the employers and entrepreneurs.

The students participate in the every guidance session and seminars conducted in the

college and other colleges. The college always observes the active participation of the

students in the academic and co-curricular activities.

The faculty have been motivated to embark their research works and advanced studies by

providing them Duty leaves or study leaves.

The students and the teachers participate in Project Competitions like AVISHKAR and

INNOVATION (respectively) organized by the University of Pune.

2.3.5 Are there departmental libraries for the use of faculty and students? If yes, how

effectively are they used for the enhancement of teaching and learning?

NA

2.3.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of the teachers by students? If yes, how is

the feedback analyzed and implemented for the improvement of teaching?

Yes, the teachers have been evaluated by the students through verbal communication and

the suggestion box. The Grievance Redressal Cell and the IQAC meet intermittently to go


43

through the problems or complaints related to teaching-learning practices. The concerned

faculty are made aware of the issues come up; and students’ experiences and expectations

are at the core in this process.

The authorities tackle the issues with a quite healthy view.

2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 How are the members of the faculty selected? Does the college have the required

number of qualified and competent teachers to handle all the courses? If not, how

does the institution cope with the requirements?

The selection of the faculty comes under the control and administration of the centralized

management at the Central Office of the MVP Samaj Nashik.

In brief, the selection of the faculty is made according to the norms laid down by the

UGC, the Maharashtra University Act 1994, the Statutes formed by the University of

Pune along with the guidelines given by the Director of Higher Education, Pune. The

public advertisements openly published for information of the candidates and the

concerned, demanded application form duly filled in supported with required attested

documents. After proper scrutiny of the application forms, the qualified and eligible

candidates are called for the interviews. The selection panel appointed by the University

consisted of the Govt. nominee, the Reservation Cell nominee, the VC nominee, the

Management nominee, the HOD and the Subject Experts to interview the candidates to

select the qualified and deserving candidates for the vacant posts in the concerned

departments.

The College informs the Central Office of the MVP Samaj i.e. the Management about the

requirement of the faculty and the staff as per the workload norms and requirements. The

Management recruits the faculty through the centralized process and appoints them in the

colleges run by it.

The programme of Commerce is non-aided; and the unavailability of the qualified

faculty, to cope with the requirements, some teachers have been appointed on the Clock

Hour Basis; the management always looking for the eligible staff to meet the

requirements of the students even now and then.


44

2.4.2 How does the college appoint additional faculty to teach new programmes/ modern

areas of study (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? How many such

appointments were made during the last three years?

There are no additional or new programmes started in this college during the last five

years; however, the Commerce Stream has been requiring the faculty.

The Faculty appointed are on the clock hour basis since the qualified faculty don’t turn up

towards the non-grant college due to instability of services.

Every year some changes have been taking place. One or two faculty get changed or

replaced.

2.4.3 What efforts are made by the management for professional development of the

faculty? (e.g. research grants, study leave, deputation to national/ international

conferences/ seminars, training programmes, organizing national/ international

conferences etc)? How many faculty have availed these facilities during the last three

years?

The Parent institute has always been conscious of providing any kind of assistance to any

of the faculty for their individual improvement in terms of academic and administrative

factors. The teachers have been given study leaves or concessions for continuing the

research or academic works besides the regular teaching activities. Dr. G. H. Jain availed

of Teacher Fellowship during 2004 to 2006.

2.4.4 Give details on the awards/recognitions received by the faculty during the last five

years?

One of our faculty members Dr. Uddhav A. Ashturkar (English) is the recipient of

Mayor’s Award (2004) for his contribution to the Cultural Heritage of Nasik. Prof M. K.

Deore got Best Presentation Award by Indian Science Congress Association (2008).

2.4.5 How often does the institution organize training programmes for the faculty in the

use of?

a) Computers

Even the Institution ‘Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj Nasik’ organizes some training

programmes for the non-teaching staff.

b) Internet

45

The network facilities have been used for the academic and administrative purposes such

as the University circulars and circulars from the Joint Director of Higher Education have

been downloaded from the respective Websites.

c) Audio Visual Aids

The use of LCD projector, computers and CDs are available in the college; and they are

used for teaching some subjects.

The films and visual models are used to teach novels and dramas in English.

d) Computer-Aided Packages

No such formal packages by the college

e) Material development for CAL, multi-media etc.

Nil

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How are the evaluation methods communicated to the students and other

institutional members?

The evaluation methods are communicated to the students and the concerned through the

prospectus in printed form at the beginning of the academic year at the time of the

admission.

The same prospectus is submitted to the Central Office of the Managing Institute i.e.

MVP Samaj, Nashik, the University of Pune, and the Office of the Director and the Joint

Director of Higher Education, Pune.

Even the LMC has also been communicated on the occasion of its first meeting about the

available seats, the admission process, and the examination and evaluation patterns being

practiced in this College during the academic year.

The changes in the patterns or some variations are also circulated to the students from

time to time by sending letters or displaying the notices on the notice-boards.

2.5.2 How does the institution monitor the progress of the students and communicate it to

the students and their parents?

The College has made it possible to all the students and the parents to have easy access;

so that individual contact and the intermediate tests, tutorials and group discussions make

monitoring and checking their progress.


46

The College corresponds to the parents through letters by communicating their wards’

progress and expecting their suggestions and expectations to establish interactive

relationships.

The College calls the meeting of the parents in which discussion on the progress of the

students at all level of education and personality development is held. The concerned

parents come to know about their wards’ achievements and the academic record. The

teachers and parents can have healthy interaction on all related issues and demands from

both the sides.

2.5.3 What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances regarding evaluation?

The College has a Grievance Redressal Cell. The Redressal Cell works for removing the

problems of the students regarding the teaching-learning and evaluation practices.

The Cell is open for all the students to get their problems solved regarding their

evaluation. For that a suggestion box is kept in the Reading Room of the library that is

being disclosed after a fortnight.

This helps us to modify and improve the evaluation systems implemented in this College.

Besides the prescribed and declared evaluation processes or examinations, the college

allows the faculty to have the necessary testing and evaluation methods, especially in the

teaching-evaluation processes for the subjects like English, Accountancy, Mathematics

such as oral tests, and home assignments to have feedback intermittently.

2.5.4 What are the major evaluation reforms initiated by the institution/ affiliating

University? How does the institution ensure effective implementation of these

reforms?

During the last five years, there have been alterations in the examination and evaluation

methods. Before, 2004-05, there was the Annual system for examination and evaluation;

however, later on the 80-20 pattern is introduced by the University of Pune.

The subjects like English, Marathi, Hindi and Accountancy have the oral tests or practical

examinations are compulsory to the First Year of B. Com. and the Second Year of B.A.

up to 2008-09.

The Term End examinations of 20 marks have been conducted and the year ending

examinations are conducted of 80 marks. These examinations jointly determine the


47

overall results of the yearly performance of the students. Recently, it is expected that the

regular students should show their performance at both level; otherwise they could not be

awarded degrees.

The College has to follow all these norms and rules as laid down by the University of

Pune for examination and evaluation for the degree courses. For that the college has its

Examination Department to take care of all these. To make the examination and

evaluation processes smoother and easier to the students, the Committee works very

meticulously. All kinds of information about the examination schedule, required

qualifying status and eligibilities, and filling up examination application forms to offer

the chosen subjects and optional courses etc.

2.6. Best Practices in Teaching -Learning Process

2.6.1 Detail any significant innovations in teaching/learning/evaluation introduced

by the institution?

The College has the transparent admission process, the fee patterns, and the course

availabilities. All students who approach to the college have been given opportunities to

have higher education in the respective disciplines.

The College organizes the orientation–cum-interaction session through the Staff

Academy Lecture Series. The subject experts or experienced teachers from other colleges

or from the native faculty are allowed to interact and orient the newly appointed as well

as the experienced teachers in the respective areas of the disciplines and the general

awareness abilities.

Some of the faculty members have been introduced to the ICT and other devices for

effective teaching and storing information to improve them for enriching their

competence. The College provides the Internet facility and the audio-visual Cell to have

the innovations and practically oriented situations.

All the teachers have been made to keep their teaching plans, teacher’s diaries, along with

the departmental yearly plans; for that every department is asked to have their meetings

from time to time.

Special guidance sessions for the disabled, differently-abled, and backward students to

reach up to mark or the required competence to succeed in the competitions they appear

for.


48

Though the rules and regulations are circulated through the prospectus and time to time

notices, they have been permitted to contact any of the faculty or administrative staff to

get their problems solved.

The Language and Computer laboratory is a place that caters the needs of the faculty and

students of the modern technical devices to teach or learn. The OHP, LCD Projector,

VCD, tape recorder, and other aids are made available.

The projects, tutorials, and direct experience through visits or tours, debates, group

discussions, and extra-curricular activities help the students to acquire the competence in

the respective fields.

The organization of Seminars, and workshops have been the worth considering activities

in the college that provides an approach to the faculty and the students to make teaching-

learning effective.

The methods of evaluation are suggested by the syllabus-designers nominated by the BOS

of the University of Pune; however, the MVP Samaj has its own system of conducting the

internal examinations, tests, tutorials, and evaluations practices which are mandatory to

this college too. For example, the journals, catalogues, answer-books, question-papers,

and annual feedback at the institute level have been the noteworthy practices in the

College.

The local administrative officers or bodies such as the Principal, the Vice Principal, the

IQAC co-ordinator observe the academic and administrative quality and excellence at the

College level.

Criterion-III : Research, Consultancy and Extension

3.1 Promotion of Research

3.1.1 Is there a Research Committee to facilitate and monitor research activity? If yes,

give details on its activities, major decisions taken ( during last year) and composition of

the Committee.

Extension in the previous assessment report and how have they been acted upon?

During the time of previous assessment and accreditation our college was not having

considerable research activities, but at present, very remarkable research activities are going

on in our college. One faculty member has secured his Ph. D. and one faculty member has

secured his M. Phil during the last five years. Most of the teachers have started research work

for obtaining M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees. Some of the faculty members have undertaken

minor and major research projects of the University and UGC. All these are the remarkable

points in respect of quality improvement of our teachers in the research activities during the

last five-year period.

Our college has formed a research committee to inform and inculcate research culture

among the teachers and students. During the last five years some of the faculty members have

given good output from their research by publishing research papers in the reputed National

and international journals. That is one of the happy and creditable evaluative observations in

this assessment report. Some of the faculty members have recognized as resource persons for

giving invited talk in the seminars, conferences at National and International levels. This is

also an advantageous aspect of our college during the report period.

by giving them an innovative research project and made them participate in the completions like

‘AVISHKAR’. The faculty members are also motivated for doing research. During the previous

accreditation there were three faculty members with Ph. D. but at present there are five faculty

members holding Ph. D. degrees, 6 faculty members are with SET/NET, 3 faculty members are

doing their Ph. D. Some of the faculty members are recognized research guides, experts and

referees for Ph.D. and M. Phil. Examinations. The faculty members from the departments of

English, Physics, and Chemistry have completed three minor research projects. Moreover, the

research work for eight minor research projects and two major research projects is going on.

Four faculty members have applied for new research projects during the academic year 2010-11.

We feel that a college situated in a drought-prone rural area has been doing a lot in the field of

research.

students that help us modify and improve ourselves for the new demands of the students.

5. 6 - Best Practices in Student Support and Progression

5.1.7 Give details of institutional best practices towards Student Support and Progression?

The College has given an open access to the students in almost all respects. The most

mentionable are –

The Students’ participation in the academic and administrative mechanism is

most considerable, because their requirements and suitability of the teaching

are comprehended by the faculty in particular and the college in general.

The students’ participation in decision making and implementing the academic

and extra-curricular activities are the notable aspects.

The Management and the College have the mechanisms for feedback and

redressal to improve the quality at all levels.

The Student- oriented activities have been implemented since the College has

to bring the maxim- ‘Mass education for the masses’ into reality.

Criterion - VI : Governance and Leadership

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the Vision and Mission statement of the institution and give details on

how the institution-


102

Mission Statement

"Our responsibility is to make wise, responsible and law-abiding citizens with life-

respecting disposition out of the rural students in collaboration with the society in general.”

Our Vision

Imparting academic training to the rural students and work for the betterment

of their intellectual, academic and physical abilities.

Making the academically challenged students self-reliant.

Making the students materially and morally rich by instilling values in them.

Making the students responsible individuals with well-balanced personality.

Giving back to the society the philanthropic citizens.

a) ensures that the vision and mission of the institution is in tune with the

objectives of the Higher Education policies of the Nation?

The College ensures that the holistic nurturing of the students with their strongly built

character, as the gist of the vision and mission of the college are the aims and objectives

of the academic activities. The curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular practices of

the college are the objectives of higher education too. So the university academic

planning is in the same order. To mould the minds of the young generation of the disabled

or weaker section of the community, the college tries to make them competent citizens

and successful leaders by using their latent talent. Education for all and introduction to

ICT are the objectives of higher education; and the college is academically oriented and

student-focused since the rural communities and their young generations are in the focus

to be ensured to bring them up with new social vision for improving life conditions. The

socially sensitive employable graduates are to be produced; and to create a bond of team

work among the students is the mission of the higher education.

The college makes the students aware of environmental crisis, business competitions,

political crisis, global struggle for power and existence, and the individual, local and

national requirements to be satisfied through everyone’s efforts.

The academic and extension activities planned and practiced by the college as per the

norms and guidelines laid down by the University of Pune are formed to develop

leadership and responsibility of maintaining the local culture along with the global

diffusion of the world culture that we should know and adapt with it for keeping


103

dominance. The MVP Samaj in general and the college in particular has made it a point

that the last member of the weaker section of the rural backward community should be

involved in the process of higher education which is meant for keeping up the socio-

cultural values of the nation in the form of leadership, and preparing the youth to face the

global challenges. For that the college has its own system of effective organizational

structure and dynamic management.

The Committees in which the student representatives are involved and their suggestions

and acceptance have been considered. They are - Examination Committee, Discipline

Committee, Grievance Redressal Cell, NSS Committee, Women Forum, Campus Dev.

Committee, Cultural Committee, etc.

b) translates its vision statement into its activities?

The college aims at bringing out the hidden potentials of the students by involving them

in decision making and implementation of both academic and socio-cultural activities

such as the remedial and extra-coaching classes, the types and period of competitions for

developing their skills like elocution, essay writing, creative writing, leadership-

developing and debating etc. The social contact is our motto to take higher education at

the door of the educationally challenged community in the rural area.

The Committees enlisted in the next point can prove that they could cover almost all the

aspects of the developed personality which can be fit to face and get through all the

problems. English Speaking Course, Soft-Skills Development Programme, NSS

volunteering activities, Cultural Activities like celebration of National festivals,

anniversaries of National leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Dr.

Babasaheb Ambedkar, Swami Vivekanand etc., Gurupournima and Shikshakdin, etc. All

these activities are not only translation of the vision statement, but also of the information

into wisdom that is required for self-reliant persons.

The provision of various schemes of providing scholarships, freeships, and training to

bring about different abilities is the way to create a new vision in their life for the first

time.

6.1.2 Enumerate the Management’s commitment, leadership-role and involvement for

effective and efficient transaction of the teaching-learning processes.

The Management of Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj, Nashik has been highly committed

to the mission and vision of the Samaj i.e. ‘Mass education for the masses’ and ‘For the

Happiness and Welfare of all.’ The functioning of the college has to be in the same order

as expected by the parent institution. The Central Office of the management is there to


104

take care of all the academic and socio-cultural affairs in the colleges run by it. An action

plan of the Samaj is coordinated with the College, and they have to be co-ordinated and

implemented for the benefits of the students and the community.

The Executive Council of the Management has been very keen to have the academic and

administrative practices as per the norms and conditions laid down by the Samaj and the

university. The Central Office extends the management’s strategy, decisions, financial

provisions made for each of the branches and feedback from them on academic

excellence, the record of the university examination results and the performance of the

teaching faculty and non-teaching staff through the self-appraisal forms.

Personally, the authorities or the representatives of the Management attend the socio-

cultural or extra-curricular activities and observe the practices whether there is sustenance

of the good qualities and moulding the minds of the millions for every year throughout

the institution in Nashik District. For instance, the NSS camping programmes, blood

donation, or Medical Checkup, cultural programmes are the chief activities unfailingly

organized are the occasions on which they guide and orient the students and the faculty to

carry on the activities for the sake of making the dreams of the founders of the Samaj a

reality.

6.1.3 How do the management and the Head of the institution ensure that responsibilities

are defined and communicated to the staff of the institution?

The management of MVP Samaj functions on the democratic ground and allows the Principal

to do as much better as he/she can by moving freely within the range of the sphere of

administration. Both the management and the Principal ensure that the responsibilities are

defined and communicated to the staff of the college through the orientation and guidance

made in the first staff meeting of the year. The yearly plan of action reflects the

responsibilities and activities that the staff members have to carry on during the year.

The management communicates every decision and defined responsibility to each of the units

through the Central Office orders and takes feedback at the term or year end through Self-

Appraisal report and the Principal’s remarks and justifications.

The Sarchitnis and other Executives or appointed Education Officer of the Samaj pay surprise

visit to the college and inform about the new strategies of upgrading the higher education.

The Principal holds periodic meetings regularly and reminds of the responsibilities in respect

of academic standard, importance of team work, leadership, evaluation, and community


105

services. There is a system of notice circulation and display board in the staff room. Even the

appointment orders are issued to know the respective faculty and staff about the role and

responsibility of the allotted work. The Committee formation is the formal way of

communication of allotment.

6.1.4 How does the Management/Head of the institution ensure that adequate information

(from feedback and personal contacts etc.) is available for the management, to

review the activities of the institution?

The college has the three-tier structure of personal assessment and self-appraisal reporting i.e.

the faculty at personal level, the Head of the Dept. and the Principal. What one says about

oneself is supported by the HOD and the HOD’s remarks could be much authentic to ensure

whether the information got from the feedback system and from personal contacts is adequate

to review the activities of the college.

In addition to this reporting system, the college has the provision of observing the teaching in

the classes as well as the activities directly by the Principal, Vice-Principal, or the

coordinators from time to time to ensure this kind of governance.

6.1.5 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff for

improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional processes?

The Management encourages and supports the staff for improvement of the effectiveness and

efficiency of the processes of governing and developing leadership amongst them and the

students. The Principal and the management motivate and felicitate the most dynamic and

creative staff members with the Awards of the best teacher/clerk/head of the Samaj.

The faculty and staff are appreciated and credited for their contributions, and they are

allowed to acquire more skills and abilities by using variety of resources of information and

training.

6.1.6 Describe the leadership role of the Head of the institution, in governance and

management of the institution.

The Principal as the leader of the College plays an important role in governance and

management of the college. He lays down the norms to follow and the targets to reach at. He

offers leadership through participative management such as an involvement of the faculty and

the students in the implementation of the activities like NSS Camps, Earn and Learn schemes,

sports and games, admission procedures etc. In this process, the students’ representatives


106

have been included in decision making and for the smooth working due to transparency. This

develops the team-work culture in the college, and decentralizes the networking of

administration.

6.2 Organizational Arrangements

6.2.1 Give the organizational structure and details of the academic and administrative

bodies of the institution. Give details of the meetings held, and the decisions taken by

these bodies, regarding finance, infrastructure, faculty recruitment, performance

evaluation of teaching and non-teaching staff, research and extension activities,

linkages and examinations held during the last two years.

The College has its system of organizational structure for smooth functioning at all the

fronts of administration and academic activities. However, most of the important

decisions especially financial and alterations in the Administration are taken at the Parent

Institute level. The details are as follows:

The MVP Samaj, Nashik

(The Management or Parent Institute)

The Principal

Local Highest Authority

Alumni Association Vice- Principal, In-Charge Authority

Local Managing Committee

Shift-in-Charge Teacher

Heads of the Depts.

Staff Secretary Chairmen of Committees

Coordinators of the Schemes


107

The MVP Management: The Samaj is one of the most dynamic and progressive

academic institutions in Maharashtra in terms of its diffusion of education at all levels and

every corner of the Nashik District for the upliftpment of the masses. For that the institute

has been decorated with ‘Award of Excellence’ by the Government of Maharashtra in

the year 2000.

The meetings of the Executive Council of the Management are held at least once in the

period of two months. The standing committees meet once in a month to have all kinds of

discussions and decisions of educational setups and the role of the colleges of the Samaj.

The details are kept with the Central Office.

The planning of the financial budgets of the infrastructural development, raising funds for

new construction of buildings and the right to expenditure at the college level are taken

by the management. For instance, the Samaj has provided the financial aid to construct

the buildings and meeting the need of payments of the non-grant faculty and staff during

the last fifteen years of the college. The recommendations and imperatives are

communicated to all the colleges and expected that all the branches should modify the

present systems respectively.

The MVP Samaj recruit the faculty and non-teaching staff by advertising the vacant posts

after proper approvals from the University and the respective authorities and applications

are invited from the eligible candidates. The selection of the candidates is made on the

basis of performance in the interviews carried out by appointing the panels of the experts

and nominees of the Govt. and appointments are given in the Samaj and not in the

particular college. In other words, the services are transferable and on the administrative

ground one has to work in different branches with the same spirit and devotion.

The decisions regarding the term schedules, exam. schedules, sports and games on the

celebrations of Samajdin, MVP Marathon, and Socio-cultural programmes like ‘ Janata

Raja- Life history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj” or “78th All India Marathi Sahitya

Sammelan” in which the Samaj has led the community of literary taste, and raising relief

funds for the flood, Tsunami or quake-affected people in the country as a social

commitment are taken by the Management. This is our social responsibility which the

educational institution should have in our country. The Internal Examinations are

conducted in the colleges; however, the division of syllabus, the setting of the term-end

question papers and answer-books, and one conformed discipline of assessment and

evaluation, and felicitations of the students of merit on the occasion of the Samajdin, etc.


108

are the decisions taken and carried out by the Management regularly during every

academic year.

The Management has its centralized system for selecting and allowing the faculty to opt

for any FIP/FDP to carry out their research and extension work for improving their

individual quality to add to the excellence of the college.

The Samaj holds some seminars and workshops for the faculty development and updating

the educational strategies. For instance, the seminars held on New Syllabi, NAAC

preparations, Exposure to new world challenges and introduction to ICT like modernized

systems to all teachers and staff in the colleges. For the office staff, the Samaj has held

the two-day workshop for introducing the new ICT system -‘Online proposals and

communication’ in collaboration with the University of Pune and trained all the staff

within two days. For the NAAC, the Samaj has always been very alert and positive in

approach to deal with it successfully.

6.2.2 To what extent is the administration decentralized? How does the institution

collaborate with different sections/departments and personnel of the institution to

improve the quality of its educational provisions?


109

The administration is decentralized to some extent such as the appointment of the Vice-

Principal is made; the nomination of the different chairmen and coordinators is made; and

the students are included in the processes of college management.

The Heads of the Departments are appointed and have been given the line of action and

authorities to enhance the quality and healthy practices in the department in particular and

the college in general. The coordination and cooperation are expected and have been

enjoyed over the years.

quality, but not at the cost of values and ethics at all. The conventional and the modern

have been synthesized in the process of value inculcation.

mechanisms? If yes, specify.

Yes, the college has the effective internal coordination in the form of the committees,

their coordinators and the common academic and research coordinator who bring about

the coordination among the faculty, students and the Principal, or the Management. The

monitoring mechanism is also effective as the shift-in-charge cares much to get the

academic and other activities done in a proper way successfully; and the Vice-Principal

and Principal are there to ensure the monitoring mechanism as an effective device as in

the Vice-Principal and Principal go on taking round the premises or from class to class

and observe if needed the classes of the faculty to verify the teaching methodology and

learning activities are going on properly or not. After such observation, the analysis and

recommendations are made in a frankly manner.

problems or grievances happened to be there among the faculty and the students. The

Committee tries to remove the clash between the two parties.

To bring about justice and resolve the problem are the basic functions of the Cell.

the factors.

All the complaints are to be handled properly is the aim of it.

the community involved activities;

And to improve quality to attain the goals set by the Samaj and the Nation through higher

education.

1. How are the objectives communicated and deployed to all levels, to ensure

individual employee’s contribution for the institutional development?

The College has its independent objectives besides the general aims and objectives of the

MVP Samaj, since the local situational requirements make us alter our motives and strive

for the achievement of them. The rural area needs the higher education for creating the

new gateway of the civilized world to the disabled, socially backward community; for

that the academic, social, and cultural awareness, the knowledge of the modern

civilization, the job-oriented skills, and competence are the targets fixed which are to be

the existing academic and administrative systems?

The College has established the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) since 2004. The

IQAC goes through all the academic and co-curricular activities and observes the

qualities and excellence in them in the given situations. The functions and decisions taken

by the Cell are given in the previous Criterion; accordingly, the quality assurance is given

by keeping the system up to the mark. Both the faculty and the staff are made active and

efficient by considering their abilities and skills for the betterment of the community and

the college.

The IQAC was established in the college in 2004. It is formed with the Management

representative, the Principal, the Vice Principal, and three senior faculty representing the

programmes available in the college.

The coordinator plays a vital role in coordinating all the members to ensure the effective

functioning. All the academic, administrative, and socio-cultural activities are expectedly

made to happen through a democratic way. He has to attempt to streamline the working of

the aided and unaided programmes on the basis of the feedback received from the

students. The organization of seminars, workshops, and camps has been the inevitable

practice in the college. On an average of organizing such co-curricular activities during

the five years is: 2 National Level Seminars (English and Physics), 3 State Level


127

Seminars (English, Politics, and Zoology), 6 University Level Seminars (English,

Politics, Geography, Chemistry, Zoology and Commerce), community-development

camps through the NSS and Student Welfare Scheme. Both of the Cells maintain the

record of all such academic and extra-curricular activities.

The HODs or the senior faculty as the members of the IQAC have been active and

student-oriented in all respects. The Department of Commerce under the guidance of

IQAC, organizes visits to the industrial areas and introduce the students to the corporate

world and its demands.

The IQAC contacts the students and tries to bring transparency in teaching and

assessment practices in the college.

The Soft Skills Development Programme is an effective course for training the

communication skills, group discussion, presentation skills, and leadership development,

for 50 to 60 students of final year of degree every year.

Though the faculty do not have any assignment of mentorship, the college has created an

environment of social responsibility among the faculty; so everyone continues to keep the

promise of considering the personal issues of the students and offer them career-oriented

and life-making value education and skills to face the situation.

The training of non-teaching staff and teaching faculty have been made possible through

the participation in the orientation, refresher and computer training courses for

automation and system management in the administration and library facilities.

The IQAC and the stakeholders are keenly associated to each other for the academic and

social up-gradation and excellence; the catering the local needs of higher education and

value-based activities.

We make Academic calendar for the planning of all the academic activities through the

year.

The academic and administrative work is distributed to various committees.

The University examination results are analysed when they are received by the

Examination Section of the college.

The students and the parents have an easy access to the Principal and the office staff.

Most of the academic and administrative decisions are taken in the staff meeting after

discussing all the aspects of the issues.

The Local Managing Committee helps us to enhance the quality in all respects.

institution?

The students participate in the activities like students’ feedback, teachers’ evaluation,

decision-making in admission committee, Cultural Activities Committee, Library

Committee, and remedial teaching courses.

The students work as volunteers for implementing the programmes and schemes in the

villages for transforming the community people into good citizens such as sports, Soft-

skills Development Programmes, cultural activities, NSS camps, and social awareness

campaigns.

7.1.4 What initiatives have been taken up by the institution to promote best practices in the

institution? How does the institution ensure that the Best Practices have been

internalized?

The College always invites the alumni, parents, stakeholders, the GOs and NGOs, and other

well-wishers for collecting useful information which reflects the requirements and

potentials to be activated.

The college goes forward to help the organizers by providing manpower in the form of the

volunteers and the trainers also.

For the enhancement of quality in academic and extracurricular activities, the IQAC

monitors the activities of the committees like Research committee, Admission committee,

library committee, Discipline committee, Cultural committee ,etc. For that good attendance


129

in the classes each of the Departments has been observed; the teachers are asked to

participate Seminars, conferences etc.; an interaction among all the departments has been

an ensuring way of circulating knowledge and implementing the instructions.

All the departments and committees hold meetings, implement the activities and submit

their reports to the IQAC. Common competitive activities are conducted in the college and

implementation of every scheme or programme as our character. The values of the

activities are pointes out and learners are convinced to look at the activities as part of their

learning and the aims of higher education.

The college makes the students attend the camps, training courses and study tours, and

then make them realize the values of the activities that are communicated to the

departments as a report of the activity. Such activities are enlisted in the Students

progression criterion.

The staff and the faculty try to be active in every activity, so that the students also come to

know the underlying values of the function or an activity.

7.2 Inclusive practices

7.2.1 What practices have been taken up by the institution to provide access to students

from the following sections of the society:

a) Socially-backward

The students from such socially backward classes of the community have never been

treated with any discrimination.

concessional and scholarship facilities that the govt., the university and the MVP Samaj

have provided and made available in the college such as SC, ST, STW, OBC, FFW etc.

scholarships and freeships to the beneficiaries.

The college always reports such students about these facilities, makes their proposals and

gets the facilities available for them.

The students and parents have been allowed to see any authority to get their problem

solved.

b) Economically-weaker and

‘Quality Improvement Scheme,’ and ‘Personality Development Programme,’ etc. for the

students from the economically weaker sections of the community. Through these

schemes, they could get somewhat economic assistance and required knowledge for

making career after graduation.

The College also provides the Krantijyoti Savitribai Fule Scholarship for Girls for the last

two years regularly. 10 eligible girl students can receive this scholarship of Rs. 5000/-

each every year.

There is no need of any efforts to achieve gender balance, since the recent examination

results in almost all the disciplines have kept the equality. The staff members are also

recruited through the centralized process by the MVP Samaj, following the democratic

principle of equality and justice.

In the formation of the Students’ Council and thereafter the Committees, instead

preference is to be given to the boys to have a balance, because in the merit-based

nomination of the Class- Representatives, more girls come in to occupy more seats.

There are the Committees like Women Forum, Women Grievance Redressal Cell, and

Special Representation for Ladies in the Students’ Council which are for achieving

gender balance between the genders.

7.2.3 Has the institution done a gender audit and/or any gender-related sensitizing

courses for the staff/ students? Give details.

The record of the intake capacity of each of the courses and the admitted students in the

college can indicate that there are the girls and the boys categorized and accordingly the

girls have been preferably considered for the scholarships, gender-wise facilities and

enrolment of the girls in the extra-curricular activities like NSS, Earn and Learn Scheme,

Cultural Activities, Personality Development Camps etc.

The college organizes some group discussions, seminars, workshops, and Soft-skills

Development Programmes in which 50% or more girl students are admitted.

7.2.4 What intervention strategies have been adopted by the institution to promote the

overall development of students from rural/tribal backgrounds?

Since this college is in rural area, its aims and objectives are to satisfy the needs of the

students from the rural area that may bring them into the bright light of the modern

civilizations. For they must have an exposure to the requirements of the present modern

globalized world. The needs are the communications skills, technical knowledge, and job-

oriented information. The college tries to introduce the students to most of the innovative

issues in the business world; the communication through the global language like English

is emphasized; and different organizations and the institutes are invited to bring their

expertise to open the new gates of first hand information to let them know what are the

demands of the corporate world.

We have been organizing Remedial Course English and Special Guidance Scheme for the

weaker students (especially for the SC/ST students).


132

The ‘Earn and Learn’ scheme which is implemented by the college is meant for the

economically weaker students and it is seen that only the needy students are allowed to

work under this scheme.

7.2.5 Does the institution have a mechanism to record the incremental academic growth of

the students admitted from the disadvantaged sections?

The College does not have any mechanism to record the incremental academic growth of

the students admitted from the disadvantaged sections of the community, because most of

the students belonged to the socially and economically backward categories, and the

record of overall growth is the record of such specifications too.

7.2.6 What initiatives have been taken by the institution to promote social-justice and

good citizenship amongst its students and staff? How have such initiatives reached

out to the community?

The College has been aware of administering justice to all the weaker and disadvantaged

groups; for that the college has the democratic policy in carrying out all activities for the

promotion and development of social justice and making the staff and students the good

citizens.

The college has the Students’ Council to train the students with a clean and clear strategy

approach in selecting the representatives, and performing their duties as responsibilities;

the merit-based nomination and leadership are the aspects of social justice; the gender

discrimination and economic differentiation are the ways of proving the norms of

understanding and amicability.

The equal allocation of work is also a proper way of revealing an importance of social

justice; so everyone has been ascribed the responsibility and made active to shoulder the

duties of a good citizen.

The College has formed the Committees like Grievance Redressal Cell, Women Forum,

Samartha Bharat Abhiyan, NSS camping programme, Cultural Activities, etc. and the

students and the staff have been proved that there is no comprise for justice to us good

citizens to have India a super power very soon.

The College involves the stakeholders, local leaders and the community people whenever,

the extra-curricular activities are conducted in the villages, or outside the college campus.

The alumnus is the authentic sources to reach out to the community. In decision-making,

planning, and administration, these organizations of teachers, students and the


133

stakeholders have been of prime importance, and the initiatives taken by the college

become completely society oriented.

7.3 Stakeholder relationships

7.3.1 How does the institution involve all its stakeholders in planning, implementation and

evaluation of the academic programmes?

The College has its Local Managing Committee, the alumni, and the local leaders and

their Social organizations; there are the regular meetings and discussions on the academic

and non-academic issues. The suggestions and guidance from all of them are welcome

and used while modifying the planning and implementing programmes. There is no

formal way of evaluating the academic programmes, but interactions take place to rethink

the practices.

7.3.2 How does the institution develop new programmes to create an overall climate

conducive to learning?

The College does not have scope to have such climate conducive programmes to learning;

however, besides the given B.A., B.Com and B.Sc. programmes, Community

Development Programmes under NSS is implemented.

The College has organized Montessori Course in collaboration with Mr. Sanjay Surwadkar

(Maharashtra Business Training Centre, Kolhapur) for the girl students during the

academic year 2009-10.

7.3.3 What are the key factors that attract students and stakeholders, to the institution and

result in stakeholder satisfaction?

The key factor is the College itself that attracts the students and stakeholders to the

College as it is the only one college in the town and its vicinity for the community.

The students and the stakeholders are involved in decision-making process; so they feel

homely and the need of their life situations. The functions of cultural activities, medical

check up, and assistance to solve the problems of community schemes prescribed by the

government etc. are the mostly conceived by the college.

The motto of the Samaj- ‘Bahujan Hitay, Bahujan Sukhay’- for the benefits and welfare

of the masses, has been a promise to all who are there to shoulder the moral responsibility

of bringing the dream of the founders Social reformers- i.e. the karmaveers.


134

We organize Annual Youth Week for the students and various cultural activities are

conducted during it.

We have a considerably vast playground with almost all the required sports facilities.

Many students use this playground for exercise in the evening.

This is one of the oldest colleges in the district.

We had gone through the process of NAAC accreditation in 2003 and have been awarded

a considerable good grade.

We have four research guide teachers in different subjects and they impart academic

training to the UG students.

We have abundance of research activities in Arts and Science faculties.

7.3.4 How does the institution elicit the cooperation from all stakeholders to ensure overall

development of the students, considering the curricular and co-curricular activities,

research, community orientation and the personal/ spiritual development of the

students?

The College elicits co-operation from the stakeholder by making them feel as if it is their

work to be done out of social commitment and a sense of humane. For overall

development of the students and the college activities, the stakeholders ensure their co-

operation with their financial assistance and help in kind. For instance, Mr. Prashant

Kulkarni bore the expenses of stationary organizing a seminar. Dr. Pushkar Nikam offers

free of costs medical service to the students.

The Swadhyaya Parivar is the organization run by the stakeholders, and they willingly co-

operate the college to implement several personal, spiritual and cultural development of

the students. The students are motivated to participate in the social, cultural and religious

activities if they are interested in.

Ours is the only college in Nasik District which organises concerts of Classical Music

frequently and the students are persuaded to attend these programmes.

For the community orientation, the college involves the community leaders and the well

wishers in the decisions of social awareness campaign regarding polio vaccination,

eradication of superstitions, and social evils like early marriages, drinking liquor, dowry

system etc.

We have formed ‘Red Ribbon Club’ under the activities of NSS. This activity is for AIDS

awareness.


135

7.3.5 How do you anticipate public concerns in your current and future programme

offerings and operations?

The College anticipates public concerns in its current and future programme offerings and

operations through social commitments, solidarity and community development. For the

satisfaction of the academic requirements, the college is going to start the PG course in

Political Science from the academic year 2010-11 and every year organization of social

camping and community awareness campaigns is aimed at.

7.3.6 How does the institution promote social responsibilities and citizenship roles among

the students? Does it have any exclusive programme for the same?

The college has the Committees and the schemes in which the students’ participation is

mostly observed; the organization of social and cultural activities are also arranged by

allowing the students play the roles of organizers, and volunteers in the activities like NSS,

Students’ Welfare, etc.

The exclusive programme for promoting responsibilities and citizenship roles is the

campaign for collecting the flood, quake, tsunami relief funds, funds for organizing the co-

curricular activities like competitions and sports.

The college organizes a Soft-skills Development Programme once in a year for the final

year degree students of BA/BCom/BSc. This programme has proved extremely effective

for developing the over all personality of the students.

The college has organizes Anti-Gutkha Campaign, Water Literacy Programmes,

celebration of birth and death anniversaries of the national leaders etc. To leave good

impressions on the minds of the students.

7.3.7 What are the institutional efforts to bring in community-orientation in its activities?

The College has its almost all extra-curricular activities community-oriented. The reasons

are that after all the higher education is for enriching the students with life values and

national integration; the other is the result to be observed in development of the

community conditions and the last is the college has no existence excluding the

community.

The college has to see its growth and development in terms of its progressive

relationships with the community, the local administrative officers, and civil services.


136

7.3.8 How does your institution actively support and strengthen the neighbourhood

communities? How do you identify community needs and determine areas of emphasis

for organizational involvement and support?

The College knows what the community requires, since the students and officials related

to the community are the markers of necessity. The everyday news items and problems

reported and demands from the community are the sources of information to identify

community needs; and accordingly, the college determines the areas of emphasis. For

instance, we provide counselling to the rural students about their future education and

career opportunities in various fields. We freely allow the community and the GOs to use

our infrastructural facilities on significant occasions e.g. general elections, important

meetings, social congregations, playground for making helipads etc.

7.3.8 How do the faculty and students contribute in these activities?

The College allots the responsibilities of these co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

among the resourceful teachers; and the students who are nominated as the representatives

are involved voluntarily in the respective activities for the students and the community.

Naturally, the faculty and students contribute in these activities for the people. A sense of

social responsibility is developed as a social value among them.

7.3.9 Describe how your institution determines student satisfaction, relative to academic

benchmarks? Do you update the approach in view of the current and future

educational needs and challenges?

The students’ response to any activities in a series is the marker of determining their

satisfaction. Their participation and performance in the academic activities are based upon

their satisfaction; and to update the approach in view of the current and future educational

needs and challenges, the college has started the Science faculty for developing scientific

approach and technical knowledge to the rural students.

To develop their communication skills, the Remedial Course in English has been

conducted regularly every year in the college by the Dept. of English.


137

7.3.10 How do you build relationships?

to attract and retain students

The College takes acute care of all the socially and economically backward students once

they approached. They are given concessions in fees; all kinds of scholarships are made

available and guidance regarding them is also provided; and about their academic and

personal difficulties, the faculty members always work rigorously in this regard.

The hostel accommodation in the girls’ hostel has been provided preferably for the girls

who seek admission to the college or the sister institutions; most of the students from the

scheduled tribes and castes are included in the facility schemes and free-ships.

to enhance students’ performance:-

For the academic and personality development, extra-coaching and remedial teaching

programmes are arranged to attract and retain them.

The presentation and communication skills, the organization of the soft skills

development programmes, students’ participation in the co-curricular and extra-curricular

activities are the effective ways of enhancing the students’ performance.

The efforts are taken to make them active in learning process by attracting them towards

the value-based learning through the workshops, and camps organized by the college, or

other colleges.

to meet their expectations of learning:-

In open interactions, the College learns the students’ demand for certain information,

guidance, or skill development programme; and to satisfy their needs, the faculty strive

hard and implement formal or informal sessions for the respective demands themselves or

by inviting some experts from outside.

7.4.11 What is your complaint management process? How do you ensure that these

complaints are resolved promptly and effectively? How are complaints aggregated and

analyzed for use in the improvement of the organization, and for better stakeholder-

relationship and satisfaction?

The Management of MVP Samaj functions on the democratic principles; and so the college

has to be. The alumni, the Local Managing Committee, and several other components of the

structural management of the college have been involved directly or indirectly in

management process; and so the complaints, suggestions, and decisions are taken openly

without any ambiguity;


138

The stakeholders, the faculty, and even the students can freely lodge complaints with the

Grievance Redressal Cells and get their problems solved with assurance of social justice and

satisfaction. All this helps to maintain the healthy relationships between the stakeholders, and

the college for years

For Re-accreditation

How are the core values of NAAC reflected in the various functions of the institution?

Everything has been explained in details so far in the light of core value of NAAC.
