EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Govindram Seksaria College of Commerce, Wardha has been thepioneer in Commerce education in Central India. In 1940, it was itsfirst Commerce college inaugurated at the hands of Sardar VallabhaiPatel. Due to its establishment the Commerce department came intoexistence in Nagpur (now RTM Nagpur) University. In 1944, it wasthe first to start the M.Com in this region. In 1945, it was the first tostart to teach Commerce in the Hindi medium, an initiative dear toGandhiji, who innaugurated it on 9th August 1945. The bhoomipooja of the college building was performed by Shri LalBahadur Shastri on 11th November, 1961 and its innauguration wasdone by Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the then President of India, on6th December, 1964. Shiksha Mandal, Wardha, the parent institution of the College hassince its inception in 1914 by Shri Jamnalal Bajaj, been committed toproviding nationalistic, values based, quality education. The firstIndian Education Conference, chaired by Gandhiji, was organised byShiksha Mandal in 1937. We are therefore conscious of our legacy andour responsibility to be worthy of it. In this we are supportedunstintingly by Shiksha Mandal, which is currently headed by ShriRahul Bajaj, Chairman, Bajaj Auto Ltd.The College started with student strength of 158 and now has 803students at the Under Graduate Level. The college has also startedM.Com. Course in 1944 with an initial strength of 7 students, today wehave an enrolment of 203 at the Post Graduate Level. Our motto is “Udyogiham Purushsinham Urpeti Laxmi” (Industriousand lion-hearted men generate wealth) and we strive to be true to it.The institution is set in a serene campus with a spread of 6.6 acres. Theinfrastructural facilities include two big double storied buildings withall necessary amenities to meet the needs of both the faculty andstudents. The college operates in a single shift to facilitate increasedacademic effort and enhanced sports and extra-curricular activities.Besides the usual facilities it has two computer labs, a commerce lab, acentralized library with over 50,000 books, internet facility andappropriate library software.

The college has a Teaching faculty strength of 18 of which 9 arePh.Ds. and 07 are Ph.D. supervisors. Five of them are authors/co-authors of books written in commerce and management. One of themis in CA (Final). The College is well known for its merit basedselection of teachers. In recent times it has been advertising itsvacancies on the UGC job portal.

Computerised Accounting, English and Communication Skills at verynominal cost. For 2 years running the passing % of its CA-CPTstudents has been 50% against the national of 27%. The culture of thecollege is student centric and academic focused, because of which theNAAC awarded us the B++ in the year 2004. Since then, our journeytowards better delivery of services has become stronger. Our teachersare going beyond their call of duty and discharging additionalresponsibilities.

The college also conducts the extra-curricular and co-curricularactivities like N.C.C., N.S.S., Sports and Games, Cultural events etc. Agood number of our students are also participating in the academic andco-curricular events conducted by the university/ college both intra andinter arena every year, and have secured university level, State Leveland National Level positions.

The net result is that the entry level cut off % required to getadmission (especially in English medium section) to the College hasincreased substantially. It is almost 60% for open category studentsand we receive twice the number of applications than our intakecapacity. A waiting list is evidence of good quality.

The SWOC of the Institution:Strengths:

Legacy of over 70 years (1940-2013) of running on values of merit,integrity and commitment to providing good quality education at anaffordable cost. A positive work culture.

No shortage of funds to pursue academic objectives A competent and committed teaching faculty, which is becoming

research oriented Regular class room teaching with appropriate use of ICT tools.

Providing Home Assignments in all the subjects and mini-researchprojects for students though it is not the part of the syllabi of theUniversity, for better learning and evaluation of the students.

Effective academic and infrastructural environment makes uscontinuously stand out as one of the best institutions in this area.

Rich library with books above 50,000, 41 magazines, e-resources, andreference books.

Active sports activities to support students to compete at university,state and national level. Weaknesses:

Most of its students belong to the rural area, where quality of schooleducation leaves much to be desired

----------------------------------- { 7 } -----------------------------------


The region in which the college is situated, is industrially backwardand therefore placement activities are difficult to conduct effectively

The syllabus of the University does not match the requirements ofindustry

Opportunities: In an era of Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation and the

consequent growth of Financial Services sector good quality commercegraduates are much in demand

Challenges:

Uplifting the standards of the rural students to compete effectively inthe marketplace

To inculcate good human values in students in a situation where theyare under attack

To orient the research work of the faculty to address agrarian issues

Future plans of the institute include

To introduce more innovative teaching-learning methods in keepingwith the times

To introduce more job-oriented and value addition courses. To start theSkill Upgradation Network (SUN) programme of our sister institution(GS College of Commerce & Economics, Nagpur) for our students

To provide more placement opportunities to students throughorganized campus interviews

To apply for institutional autonomy

In its 73rd year of existence, GSW can say with a lot of pridethat it is doing its best to fulfill the aims and objectives with which itstarted its journey in 1940. During the course of its journey, the collegehas undergone quite a few changes but that was never at the cost of ourbasic approach. So, while taking strides towards modernity, we havenot forsaken our commitment to the Shiksha Mandal legacy ofproviding values based, quality education at an affordable cost, even ashigher education is being commercialized at a rapid pace.

frequent participation in the college meetings / gatherings. Ourauthorities frequently interact with students to imbibe in their mindsthe noble Gandhian principles. Sewagram and Paunar, the famous seatsof Gandhiji and Acharya Vinoba Bhave, are within the radius of 5 kmsonly and we regulary organize excursions to these sacred places toapprise our students with the ideologies of these great souls.

The management and the college have on their statutory bodiesthe members from corporate houses and industries like Bajaj AutoLtd., Bajaj Electricals etc. We therefore have inherent institutionallinkages with industry leading to more campus recruitmentopportunities for our students. The college has made continuous effortsto introduce innovations in teaching-learning methodology. In fact, ithas shifted the focus from teacher-centric pedagogy to learner-centricapproach by introducing case studies, project-work, industrial training,field visits, internship etc. We have also set up a Commerce Lab whereour students are given first hand exposure to commerce relatedactivities like filing of income tax returns and investment in sharemarket. We have also set up a Career Counseling Centre to guidestudents on possible career choices.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate through specific example(s). All the faculty members systematically communicate the entire

curriculum to the students at the beginning of the academic session. The teachers prepare their teaching plans according to prescribed

teaching units and teaching hours, and also as per the academiccalendars of the University and the college. The plans aresubmitted to Principal/HOD’s through academic diaries.

Principal/ HOD’s monitor the progress of T/L activity throughperiodic reviews of academic diaries which are also subjected toscrutiny by the Management. The diaries filled daily by teachersalso record the teachers’ co-curricular and extra-curricularactivities in addition to their daily teaching assignments. The diarysystem, introduced at the behest of our management ShikshaMandal, ensures the timely completion of all syllabi and thesmooth conduct of academic session. It also helps the authorities inteacher assessment.

The college practices both conventional and innovative teachingmethodologies for effective learning. Besides the traditional lecturemethod and the blackboard work, our teachers make regular use ofICT- enabled teaching methods like power point presentations.There is also a comprehensive use of other A/V aids like TV forthe telecast of budget, important speeches by renownedprofessionals, professors, economists etc., documentaries, andeducational software.

----------------------------------- { 19 } -----------------------------------


The T/L activity is further augmented by regularly organizingclassroom seminars, student workshops, group discussions, homeassignments and mini research projects, for curricular and co-curricular activities which offer students optimum learningexperiences.

We also have remedial coaching mechanism through which theweaker students are given extensive coaching. Similarly, we alsooffer bridge courses in Accountancy and Economics to the studentsfrom non-commerce streams.

The college also has a very sound assessment/evaluationmechanism. There are unit tests, sessional examinations, and viva-voce through which internal assessment is done. The internalassessment also covers the students’ attendance and conductbesides their curricular and extra-curricular performances. Theexternal evaluation is done by the university through theannual/semester examinations.

The college encourages the faculty members to participate inworkshops, orientation programmes, seminars, and furthermotivates them to refer journals, periodicals, magazines,newspapers, publications, and various internet sources to acquaintthemselves with the current trends and knowledge for the effectiveimplementation of curriculum.

Thus as an affiliated college, the college pursues the academicactivity as per the prescribed lines and instructions by the parentuniversity. At the college level, we devise our own systems tosupplement the University programmes for the maximum T/Loutput and for the achievement of goals and objectives of thecollege.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers

receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectivelytranslating the curriculum and improving teaching practices? Apparently the university does not provide any support to teachers

except providing the syllabi and guidelines to implement theacademic programmes. However, every time there is anintroduction of some new subjects or academic programmes, theuniversity organizes orientation courses and workshops along withother teacher-training programmes. University’s Academic StaffCollege also conducts orientation and refresher courses for whichour teachers are deputed on regular basis.

At the institutional level, the college provides all the facilitieswhich include unlimited access to library, supply of text andreference books, subscription to periodicals and journals as perteachers’ recommendations, computers and laptops, free internet,separate departments/cabins for teachers and other infrastructuralback-up. The college strives to provide students and teachers thebest possible facilities for the creation of an ideal academic

----------------------------------- {20} -----------------------------------


atmosphere and ambience which is a pre-requisite for effective T/Lactivity.

The college motivates the faculty members to attend seminars,orientation and refresher courses, workshops, faculty developmentprogrammes organized by the UGC and other institutions. Theexpenditure incurred for the delegate fees, travel, lodging/boardingetc. is borne by the college within admissible limits. The teachersare also given Duty Leave for attending these programmes.

Our management is equally conscious of “Teacher Quality” andencourages the teachers to participate in various teacher-trainingprogrammes at its own cost.

Our management has created for teachers a special corpus fund forseed money leading to healthy research atmosphere in the college.

Our management offers financial and logistic support for theconduct of educational tours, field and industry visits, and otherexcursions.

Our management sponsors Guest Lectures and talks by eminentscholars for the benefit of both students and teachers (Dr Gokhale,for example).

Our management is keen on sending our teachers abroad for theiracademic growth and offers them scholarships if requested for.(e.g. a faculty from JB college)

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutory agency.The institute has developed the following systems for the effectivecurriculum delivery and transaction: 1.

1.3 Curriculum Enrichment

1.3.1 Describe the efforts made by the institution to supplement theUniversity’s Curriculum to ensure that the academic programmesand Institution’s goals and objectives are integrated?

----------------------------------- {28} -----------------------------------


The main objectives of the institute as described in the college missionreflect the objectives of the curriculum as designed by the university.Still, we constantly strive to derive the maximum from the universitycurriculum by supplementing it with some institutional programmes tobring about integration between courses, syllabi, and institutionalobjectives as follows:1. To improve the quality of academic inputs constantly:As a responsible institute, we are extremely careful of our bearings andeven as we have grown quantitatively, we have always ensured thatquality of academic inputs is never compromised because of ourexpansion. In order to safeguard and further improve the quality ofdissemination of knowledge by our faculty, we do the following:

The allocation of subjects to the right teachers as per their expertiseand specializations and proficiency in the language.

The preparation of teaching plans, unit/lessons plans and constantmonitoring of the same by the HOD’s/Principal.

Deputation of teachers for orientation / refresher / trainingprogrammes / conferences / seminars / workshops to improveteacher quality.

Supplementing classroom teaching with student seminars, groupdiscussion/soft skills/personality development sessions and skilldevelopment programmes to improve the student quality.

Workshops on handwriting - improvement, practice sessions forsolving university question papers of numerical subjects likeFinancial Accounts, Cost Accounts, Management Accounts,Applied Statistics and Taxation.

Purchase of all the prescribed text-books and reference books andaccess of them to all students.

Extensive use of A/V aids in classroom teaching. Remedial coaching and special guidance for poor/advanced

learners. Providing all learning resources and infrastructure e.g. computer

labs, internet, projectors etc. as per the needs of the curriculum. Student counseling. 2. To promote knowledge and value based education: As ours, the first commerce college in the region, we have alwayspromoted commerce education and offered all relevant courses fromtime to time to benefit the student community at large. Starting with B.Com., we later added M. Com., M.B.A., B.Com. (ComputerApplication) to the list of our academic programmes. We have alreadyapplied for the B.B.A. programme. In between, we have alsoconducted other supplementary courses like D.B.M. All these courseson their own are competent enough to earn jobs for students but as acaring institute, we supplement these traditional degrees by valueaddition programmes in core subjects like Accountancy and global

----------------------------------- { 29 } -----------------------------------


competencies like Computer Education and English proficiency. Wehave also started for CA- aspiring students a CA-CPT preparatoryprogramme. We also offer coaching for the Competitive Examinations.3. To train the students for self employment:The University curriculum offers a syllabus on EntrepreneurshipDevelopment. Owing to a variety of social reasons, most studentsusually opt for jobs at an early stage rather than going for highereducation. To take care of this need we offer the following short-termjob oriented courses:1. Certificate course in Computerized Accounting (Tally)2. Spoken English Course

On the basis of these courses, many students have got jobs in thevicinity.

4. To provide quality education to masses with updated infrastructural facilities and services at relatively reasonable cost. “Quality education at affordable cost” has always been the operativeprinciple of the institute from the onset. As mentioned earlier, ShikshaMandal itself came into being for providing education to masses ofthe region. Even today, when education is being commercialized, weare not charging our students anything more than prescribed by theUniversity/Government. With regard to the infrastructure, we aregiving the best to the students. The institute has its own buildings,offices, computer labs, gymnasium, hostel, playfields etc. We alsohave a vast range of instruments and software. Recently, we haveadded another building and named it after one of illustrious alumni.

5. To develop the spirit of patriotism, discipline and a sense ofsocial responsibility by following the principles and ideologies ofMahatma Gandhi and Acharya Vinoba Bhave.

As mentioned earlier, the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and AcharyaVinoba Bhave underline Shiksha Mandal’s very existence. Specialprogrammes on the anniversaries of these noble souls are organized bythe college and the speeches on patriotism, social responsibility etc.are delivered by the faculty or guests. It is through these measuresthat the University curricula, college programmes and the collegeobjectives are integrated.

1.3.2 What are the efforts made by the institution to modify, enrich andorganize the curriculum to explicitly reflect the experiences of thestudents and cater to needs of the dynamic employment market?

The efforts of the institution regarding the necessary modifications,enrichment and organization of the curriculum include the followingaspects:

1. Even though the curriculum is framed by the university, it is theresponsibility of the institution to execute and implement it keepingin view the utmost benefit of the students. Therefore, the collegenot only takes due care of the prescribed methods and systems but

----------------------------------- {30} -----------------------------------


also adds on its own other methods of teaching/evaluation tosupplement and enrich the T/L activity.

For example, industrial or field visits or excursions are notspecifically prescribed in the university syllabus. We, however,arrange the same to expose our students to the practical side of thesyllabus. We have also effected some arrangement with the localindustry and CA’s for internships to provide first hand industryexperience to students. The add-on and value addition courses, too,have been started on the basis of students’ and parents’ feedbackfor the maximum transaction of the curriculum.

2. Another area where the curriculum is enriched is its delivery.Besides the traditional teaching methods, our teachers makeextensive use of the ICT- enabled teaching methods like PPT,videos and speeches of famous people and entrepreneurs, livetelecast of budget etc. to take students to the very core of thesubject and for conceptual comprehension.

3. The students are also given specific assignments and projects onthe current topics other than those in the syllabus so that they keepabreast of the latest knowledge in the field.

4. In order to meet the demands of the dynamic employment market,we have already introduced some job-oriented and skilldevelopment programmes. Our Employment Guidance Cell alsoorganizes Soft Skills/Personality Development sessions, while thedepartments of Languages and Information Technology take careof the global competencies.

5. The faculty is also encouraged to participate in the subjectdevelopment workshops, seminars at the regional, national andinternational levels to enhance their knowledge and updatethemselves.

1.3.3 Enumerate the efforts made by the institution to integrate the crosscutting issues such as Gender, Climate Change, EnvironmentalEducation, Human Rights, ICT etc., into the curriculum?

Since the curriculum design is within the purview of university, theinstitute cannot incorporate into it any additional modules. Therefore tointegrate the cross-cutting issues like gender sensitization, climatechange, environmental education, human rights, ICT etc., theinstitution has devised some mechanisms as follows:

We have set up a Gender Sensitization Committee comprisingstaff and students of both genders to promote the equality andavoid any discrimination between the two genders at all levels.We also have a Women’s Cell and Sexual Harassment Committee.

University Curriculum has recently introduced a compulsorycourse of Environmental Studies at the Part II level. Weperiodically organize the environmental tours to acquaint studentswith the environmental issues like the climate change, global

----------------------------------- { 31 } -----------------------------------


warming, pollution, etc. We have also taken up, at the collegelevel, the projects for water conservation for benefit of thefarmers. ( Pipri /nursery projects)

ICT has now become a regular feature of academics in the collegeand we have already started computer awareness drive for thebenefit of all students in addition to the certificate programme.The degree course of B. Com. (Computer Application) has alsobeen started with a view to inculcate ICT competency amongstudents.

1.3.4 What are the various value-added courses/enrichment programmes offered to ensure holistic development of students?

Moral and ethical values: For the inculcation of the moral andethical values, there are no special teaching units in the syllabusexcept some lessons in the language syllabi. At the institutionallevel, we promote these values through the organization of specialevents on the national days, anniversaries of the great people andother such occasions when speakers, faculty and students makepresentations on the teachings and preaching of great souls. Thereare also essay and elocution competitions on the lives of greatpeople as well as the exhibition of their literature. There are alsoprogrammes like blood donation camps, AIDS awarenesscampaign, traffic rules awareness camp, societal living patternsetc. conducted by our NCC and NSS units to promote moral andethical values. We have also introduced college uniform to assertthat all students in the college are equal.

There are also the renditions of the national anthem and song, theuniversity song, Geetai, Gandhiji’s prayers etc. on appropriateoccasions. At the time of any natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, fire accidents our students participate in the reliefoperations as a part of moral and social responsibility. It needs tobe emphasized that our first teachers were freedom fighters andthey were imprisoned by the British during the Quit IndiaMovement.

Employable and life skills: Employable and life skills are createdamong the students through career oriented courses such as TallyAccounting, Fundamentals of Computers, and Spoken English etc.

Better career options: Better career options are created for thestudents through the preparatory programmes for CA-CPT, C-MAT, Banking and other competitive examinations.

Community orientation: The College is associated with quite afew NGO’s like Institute of Gandhian Studies, Jamnalal BajajFoundation, Jankidevi Bajaj Science Centre, Kasturba HealthSociety, and Gitai Foundation which regularly conduct variouscommunity development programmes. We encourage ourstudents to participate in these programmes. Our NSS unit also isinvolved in various extension activities. Every year, on Gandhi

----------------------------------- {32} -----------------------------------


Jayanti, we do shramadaan for the cleanliness and beautification ofthe city. We also took out an anti-corruption rally in 2012 tosupport Anna Hazare’s movement.

Our Women’s Cell regularly interacts with the village women andconducts various awareness programmes about self-employment,Saving Groups, girl child feticide, health and hygiene etc. Wehave also organized camps for farmers.

1.3.5 Citing a few examples, enumerate on the extent of use of thefeedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

We have a very active feedback mechanism involving students,teacher-peers, parents, employers, alumni and other stakeholders. Weregularly collect feedback from all the stakeholders throughquestionnaires. We also regularly organize Parent-Teacher meets,Alumni meets and seek feedback on academics, teachers, and facilitiesetc. to check the quality of both syllabus and its delivery. Inputs on thesyllabus/curriculum are reported to the university through ourrepresentatives on the BOS while, for the feedback on teaching-learning activity, corrective measures are introduced by the collegewith respect to the subject or method or teacher in question.Some concrete examples of acting on feedback:1. It was suggested by some parents that we should start CA-CPT

preparatory course as most students cannot afford to join theexpensive private tuitions. We therefore started the course withminimal establishment expenditure fees.

2. Owing to the need of ICT and English proficiency in the jobmarket, we have started the relevant programmes.

Examples:

Buying process adopted by the industrial buyers in the industrialmarketing process is exhibited through the industrial visit to thestudents. In the case of the governmental buying decision makingprocess, the students are taken to the government organizations andmade them observe the actual process of buying through the interactionwith the government agencies.1. In the case of the communication practices under the

communication distortion concept, the teacher explains by way ofmaking the students memorize a particular message processing itfrom one to the other and finally asks the last student to representand the output ultimately result in the shape of complete change /message distortion.

2. The teacher of economics explains the concepts of monetarypolicy and fiscal policy by referring to the newspapers in theeconomics and finance stream in the class room.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of itsenrichment programmes?

The college monitors and evaluates the quality of its enrichment

----------------------------------- { 33 } -----------------------------------


programmes as under:1. The students are asked to submit assignments on the issues where

enrichment programmes have been conducted and those areevaluated by the concerned faculty in a suggestive manner.

2. The classroom presentations by students are observed andevaluated by faculty members. The findings are shared with thestudents and suggestions are given to effect necessary changeswhile presenting similar issues in future.

3. The delivery of enrichment programmes is further checked by thecollege through regular unit tests, class room tests, terminalexaminations etc. and through the assessment of intended output.

4. The add-on and other value-addition/enrichment courses aremanaged and monitored by respective coordinators while overallmonitoring is done by the IQAC coordinator/Principal.

1.4 Feedback System

1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design anddevelopment of the curriculum prepared by the University?

As an affiliated college, we have little role in curricular designing sinceit is the university’s purview. We, however, have our representation onthe BOS where our representatives Dr Butle and Dr Chavan have madetheir contribution as per the university framework.

1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students andstakeholders on Curriculum? If ‘yes’, how is it communicated tothe University and made use internally for curriculum enrichmentand introducing changes/new programmes?

There is no formal mechanism for collecting feedback on curriculum.But we have a formal alumni association with which we regularlyinteract for getting their views on the relevance of syllabi incontemporary world. Similarly, the members of our management,Principal and teachers interact with students, parents, employers andformer students from time to time to find out their opinions aboutcurriculum, syllabi, teaching-learning activity etc. The feedback iscommunicated to the university by our representatives at the BOS.The internal changes are done only in terms of methodologies tomaximize the academic output e.g. the introduction of value-addition/job-orientation programmes to supplement/enrich the maincourses.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by theinstitution during the last four years? What was the rationale forintroducing new courses/programmes?)The college has introduced one new course as follows:

M. B. A.: The College had earlier started M.B.A. in 1988 but closed itdown in2006 since well-qualified teachers could not become available

----------------------------------- {34} -----------------------------------


in this area. In the meantime, there was a heavy demand from thepeople that G.S. College should once again started M.B.A. as othercolleges in the region perhaps failed to do full justice to theprofessional course. Finally, to live up with society’s expectations andin keeping with the college objectives, our management restarted thecourse much to the happiness of the student community in the area. Any other relevant information regarding curricular aspectswhich the college would like to include.A. Basically, the formulation of the curriculum is vested with theuniversity to which the college is affiliated. But we still contribute tothe process through our representatives to the BOS. Similarly, whenthe curriculum is published and circulated by the university, thecollege takes some concrete initiatives as follows:1. Apprise the faculty with the detailed syllabus through meetings with

Principal and HOD’s.2. Teaching plans and compiling of resource material ahead of a

session.3. Execution of curriculum through traditional and innovative teaching

methods. Both students and teachers are also motivated to referadditional material for the better and comprehensive understandingof concepts.

B. Enrichment of syllabus through supplementary, add-on andcareer-oriented courses.

The college runs a few supplementary, add-on and career-orientedcertificate courses in Computer Accounting, , Banking or preparatorycourses for CA-CPT and competitive examinations. These coursesmake significant value-addition to our students’ learning output. Asa result, we are proud to share that our students are capable ofcompeting with the very best in every possible field. We are alsohappy to declare that we are still focussed on the moral and ethicalvalues which our founders as well as Gandhiji and Vinoba Bhavehave practiced and preached.

TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION

2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in theadmission process? Publicity:

At the beginning of every session the college displays the notice onNotice Board, website and face book page of the College for allcourses. Being a minority institute we also advertise the admissionprocedure and other details for the benefit of minority students in 2-3newspapers. We also publish our prospectus well in advance.Similarly, even during vacation and ahead of the declaration of results,the college opens counseling centres for the enquiring students andparents to guide them on course selection, optional subjects and otherissues.

Admission Process:

The college maintains full transparency in the admission process. Theentire admission process is outlined in the college prospectus. Allmatters regarding quotas, fees structures, concessions etc. for allcourses are well detailed in the prospectus for complete transparency.Similarly, the merit lists, admission lists and vacancy positions aredisplayed on notice boards on daily basis. The admission mechanismis controlled by Admission Committee. The committee preparesdetailed admission programmes for various courses after taking intoaccount the guidelines by various agencies like the University,Department of Minority Development, Government of Maharashtra,

----------------------------------- {36} -----------------------------------

Student Observe the book according to Syllabus in the library


and the college management. We also have to submit the report ofentire admission process to the above agencies.

2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission(Ex. (i) merit (ii) common admission test conducted by stateagencies and national agencies (iii) combination of merit andentrance test or merit, entrance test and interview (iv) any other)to various programmes of the Institution.

As per the Maharashtra University Act, 1994, all admissions in affiliated colleges are to be done strictly on merit basis. We therefore have the merit admission policy in place for all courses.

Being a minority institute, we also have to follow the admission policy prescribed by the DMD, Government of Maharashtra. We therefore have to reserve 50% & 51% seats for minority students for grant-in-aid and no-grant courses respectively.

We also follow the prescribed reservation policy as laid down bythe state and central governments.

For MBA, admissions are done at TWO levels:

(i) General non-minority seats (49%) are filled through CAP fromamong the holders of valid CMAT score.

(ii) Minority seats (51%) are filled at the institute level from amongthe holders of valid C-MAT score.

For MBA admissions the working principle is that of entrance- merit-interview.

2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks foradmission at entry level for each of the programmes offered by thecollege and provide a comparison with other colleges of theaffiliating university within the city/district. As a leading commerce college in the city, we receive a lot ofapplications for all courses conducted in English medium. Wetherefore aim at 60% as the cut off % for English medium. We,however, have to reduce the cut-off % for minority and reservedcategories. For Marathi medium programs, we generally admit studentswith 50% and more marks; but again we have to occasionally settle forlesser % owing to the reservation factor. In the case of Hindi mediumcourses, demand is slightly lesser in comparison with the English andMarathi mediums and therefore we have not fixed any cut-off for theHindi medium courses. According to our observation, there is no pre-decided cut-off percentage for admissions to B.Com. Course in othercity/district colleges and they secure admission on first come firstbasis.Sr.No.

1.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admissionprocess and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcomeof such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement ofthe process?

As all admissions are to be conducted as per the guidelines, rules andregulations of the University/Government, an individual college haslittle scope of reviewing or revising the admission process.

We however do a profiling of students once they are admitted. Usually,we categorize students as per the following description:A) Broad Categories [Minority, Open, Reserved (SC, ST, NT, OBC

etc.)]B) Gender-wise/category-wise distributionC) Advanced learners and poor learnersD) Activity-wise distribution (Sports, NCC, NSS, ECA, creative

writing etc.)

Such profiling at the beginning of the sessions whereas enables us toplan appropriate programmes and activities for different groups ofstudents, it also apprises us about those student profiles which need tobe focused upon and attended. For example, if there are feweradmissions in any category in a given session, we effect appropriatechanges in the admission modalities to encourage admissions byoffering installment facility in paying the fees or supplying uniforms orbooks to needy students. Our management also offers merit-cum-means scholarship for those students who are not entitled to any otherscholarship. These sops, however, are never at the cost of the standardadmission procedures or policies.Owing to these and other beneficiary schemes coupled with the fairand transparent merit admission policy, we get good students for allcourses leading to better academic performances. At thecollege/management level our efforts are directed at rising the bar forcut-offs, intake and results every year. As all are intrinsically linked tothe admission process, we are very conscious of the same and try toimprove it in case any loopholes are detected.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access forfollowing categories of students, enumerate on how the admissionpolicy of the institution and its student profilesdemonstrate/reflect the National commitment to diversity andinclusion

Notes:

(1)B. Com.:There are 03 sections of B. Com. I for English, Marathi and Hindi mediums with the intake capacity of 120 each. As far as the medium

----------------------------------- {40} -----------------------------------


wise admissions are concerned the Hindi medium section recorded a very little decrease in the admissions which is due to the following reasons:(a) Most of the students from the business community who usually

takes admission in the Hindi medium have been now taking admission in the English medium in keeping view of their future prospects.

(b) Very less number of Hindi medium students are appearing and passing out in the concerned qualifying examination viz., 12th Standard/ HSC.

(2) B.Com.( Computer Application):

Most students do not prefer this course as much as the regular B. Com. Course because of the following factors:(a) This course is available in the university only on no-grant basis. As

a result, the fees structure of this course is quite higher than grant-in-aid B. Com. The fees has been declared by the university and thecollege has been compelled to follow it.

(b) The course is relatively new and therefore has not yet established itself as a prospective job winner.

(c) It is an English medium course. In a semi-rural place like Wardha, there are not many English medium schools to give us required feed.

(d) This course demands basic computer awareness and knowledge among the students. Owing to rural constraints, there is a general absence of computer awareness in this predominantly rural part of Maharashtra.

(e) The minimum passing marks are also higher than the traditional B.Com. Course which makes students go for the easier options.

(3) M.Com.

In recent years, our M. Com. Course is getting good response. Thereasons are as under:(a) We are the only grant-in-aid college in the district to offer this

course in English medium.(b) Over the years, we have set high quality standards with consistent

results and merit positions(c) The college enjoys the back-up of qualified faculty, sufficient

learning resources and sound infrastructure facilities.

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abledstudents and ensure adherence to government policies in thisregard?

----------------------------------- { 41 } -----------------------------------


For the differently-abled students, 1% of the total seats in everycourse are reserved in our college. However during the last fouryears very few students in this category have been admitted.

There is a provision of ramp and wheel chairs are allowed fordifferently-abled students. There is also a sloping step at each oneof the college building gates to enable the differently-abledstudents to enter the buildings comfortably.

The college staff helps these students in their movements on thecampus.

The classes where the differently-abled students study areconducted on the ground floor. Even during the college anduniversity examinations, seating arrangement of these students ismade on ground floor.

Differently-abled students are given the facilities ofamanuensis/writer and extra time (half an hour for PH and onehour for blind candidates) in all university examinations.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms ofknowledge and skills before the commencement of theprogramme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process.The institution assesses the needs of students in terms of knowledgeand skills in keeping with the emerging requirements of society anddemands of the employment market etc. at the start of the academicsession. At the time of admission, students are classified as advancedand poor learners on the basis of their percentage in the qualifyingexamination and appropriate programmes are planned to cater to theirneeds. For poor learners there is a provision of remedial coachingwhile for advanced learners, there is a scope for add-on and othershort-term courses.

Similarly, for students from non-commerce background, teachersconduct bridge courses in subjects like Accountancy and Economics.At the time of admission, a feedback is taken from students with regardto their special interests and aptitudes and accordingly programmes areplanned for them. College is especially conscious of inculcating instudents the global competencies of ICT and English as well asdeveloping their personalities to make them good professionals. Tosatisfy students’ needs of practical training we organize field visits andindustrial tours.

We also train our students for jobs and conduct for them from time totime grooming sessions in terms of GD, interview techniques, andother soft skills. For placements, we invite recruiters to the campus.There is also a lot of scope for extra-curricular activity. Throughconstant interactions with students, academicians, experts in variousfields and the office bearers of the different bodies of the universitywho visit the college from time to time, we keep ourselves updated interms of the curricular and extra-curricular needs of students and takenecessary steps for satisfying them.

----------------------------------- {42} -----------------------------------


2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution tobridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable themto cope with the programme of their choice?(Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.

At Wardha, we get a mixed student profile. There are students fromdifferent backgrounds and different social strata. There are alsostudents of various calibers and potentials. For them we have devisedthe following strategies. Bridge courses: The College runs bridge courses for the students

of non-commerce background to acquaint them with thefundamentals of Accounting, Business Economics, Principles ofBusiness Management and Quantitative Techniques in thebeginning of the session to bridge the knowledge gap of theenrolled non-commerce students.

Remedial coaching: For poor learners who are identified at thetime of admissions on the basis of their percentage in thequalifying examination, our teachers conduct remedial coaching.

Similarly, those who fail in the subsequent universityexaminations but are allowed to keep term (ATKT), special extraclasses are conducted.

Career oriented Courses: For advanced learners, we offer add-oncourses like CA-CPT Guidance Programme, and Certificate Coursein Computerized Accounting (Tally.)

Enrichment Courses: In view of the global requirement of ICTand English Communication skills, we offer the courses inComputerized Accounting and Spoken English. We also offercoaching for Competitive Examinations, and also conductworkshops for Soft Skills and Personality Development.

Sports Coaching Camps: In view of the students’ demand, wealso organize special sports camps for training students for policerecruitment.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues suchas gender, inclusion, environment etc.?

Our college is a co-education college. Hence there is no genderdiscrimination while organizing programmes and conducting activitiesin the college campus. This all-inclusive and equal opportunityapproach is applied to each and every curricular and extra-curricularactivity in the college. However, some special programmes and competitions are

organized for girl students by the Women’s Cell. The college also organizes counseling sessions/guest lectures on

health, hygiene, safety and other related issues for girls. We also have set up a Gender Sensitization/Sexual Harassment

Cell.

----------------------------------- { 43 } -----------------------------------


For environmental issues, the university has recently introduced acompulsory course in Environmental Studies at the Part II level.All students have to pass this course in order to get their degrees.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to specialeducational/learning needs of advanced learners?

Advanced learners are identified at the time of admission on the basisof their percentage in the qualifying examination. In order to provide aconductive atmosphere for the fulfillment of their special extra needs,we offer them the following:

Special counseling sessions to apprise them of various avenues andopportunities available for commerce students.

Special sessions to make them aware of the latest trends prevailingin the corporate sector.

Add-on and value addition courses like CA-CPT guidance, SpokenEnglish, and Computerized Accounting.

Added library facilities like extra BT’s, extended reference andreading room hours, Book Bank and Full Deposit Schemes.

Computer labs with internet facility. Counseling by teachers in addition to regular classroom teaching.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data andinformation on the academic performance (through theprogramme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (studentsfrom the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.)?

The college has set-up an Academic Audit Committee which isresponsible for the result analyses of all college and universityexaminations. All the data regarding the academic performancesthus is available to the college both during and after the session.

Similarly, there is also a system of maintaining information ofphysically challenged students as well as the students from thesocially disadvantaged and economically weaker sections ofsociety. This data is to be annually sent to the Government andother agencies for the purpose of scholarships and records.

For the physically challenged or slow learners who are at thehigher risk of becoming dropouts, we provide remedial coachingfor passing the examinations. Owing to the University’s facility ofATKT, the dropout rate in this category has been significantly cutdown.

We further ensure that no student has to leave the college becauseof financial reasons. Our management comes to the rescue offinancially disadvantaged students by offering them financialassistance. Some of our faculty voluntarily helps the students atthe time of admission.

----------------------------------- {44} -----------------------------------


2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and

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

All curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in the

college are conducted in a very coordinated manner incorrespondence with the University’s academic calendar and thecollege’s internal schedules.

The university publishes its academic calendar at the beginning ofthe session and specifies time frames for activities like admissions,enrollment, filing of examination and other forms both manuallyand on-line, university examinations etc.

The college at its level constitutes committees for internaladministration of the university’s academic calendar andpublishing a parallel institutional calendar which is published in thecollege prospectus.

The teaching activity is planned through Time-tables for variouscourses. All teachers are required to submit their teaching plans tothe HOD’s/Principal at the beginning of the session.

Teachers are also required to make entries about their daily work,in the academic diaries and share the same with the HOD’s/Principal.

The regular teaching-learning activity and classroom schedules areinterspersed with the co- curricular activities like tutorials,classroom seminars and paper presentations examinations etc.

Each academic session for annual pattern courses is divided intotwo sub-sessions: pre-Diwali and post-Diwali. For semesterpattern courses these two sub-sessions constitute independentsessions for two semesters. This division of an academic sessionallows teachers to divide their teaching units in more or less equalproportion on either side of the Diwali vacation.

Evaluation takes place at two levels: the university and the college.The university announces its schedules for final examination at theend of the session for both annual and semester patternexaminations. At the college level, there is a scheme of internalassessment through unit tests, home assignments, project work,terminal examinations and viva voce. Internal assessment alsotakes into account regular attendance, general conduct anddiscipline of students, their participation in the extra-curricularactivities etc. All internal assessment schedules are pre-announced.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learningprocess? As a nodal agency for quality related activities, the college IQAC is

contributing significantly in T/L and evaluation systems. Since IQAC is well-informed about to the NAAC agenda for

qualitative growth of an institute, it often recommends innovative

----------------------------------- { 45 } -----------------------------------


approaches in T/L activity. Principal and IQAC coordinatorconstantly monitor the teaching–learning process and streamlineteachers’ efforts at innovation. IQAC offers ways and means forteachers to upgrade themselves in terms of skills and knowledge.

The IQAC member-teachers interact with fellow-teachers anddevise strategies for raising levels of teacher quality and students’learning abilities to the desired extent.

The member-teachers are also encouraged to interact with teachersof other cluster colleges and share/exchange with them the healthypractices with regard to optimization and integration of modernteaching-learning methods in their respective institutions.

IQAC also recommends the deputation of teachers to certainconferences / workshops and refresher/orientation courses andother faculty development programmes after taking into accounttheir specialization and interests. Later, it also organizes interactionsessions with these participant-teachers for sharing theirexperiences with the peers.

The IQAC recently conducted a U.G.C. sponsored one week ICTtraining programme to the faculty through the Equal OpportunityCenter.

The management’s representatives on IQAC along with externalmembers of IQAC actively involve themselves in planning for thecollege’s qualitative growth. The respected members visit thecollege, interact with students and teachers and recommend toprincipal the necessary corrective measures on the basis of theirfeedback.In IQAC, the institute has indeed found an official platform fordiscussing qualitative aspects, their execution and sustenance.

2.3.3 How learning is made more student-centric? Give details on thesupport structures and systems available for teachers to developskills like interactive learning, collaborative learning andindependent learning among the students?

All faculty members in the institute are focused on making the T/Lactivity as much productive as possible and therefore everybodyensures that all class-room and other activities are student-centric. Ourmanagement too helps out by extending full support in buildinginfrastructure for achieving the desired goals.Interactive Learning: The normal method used by teachers for thedelivery of syllabus is the traditional lecture method which has its ownbenefits. For example, it allows the teacher to control the teachingprocess and disseminate the knowledge in an organized manner.Within the broad framework of lecture method teachers also haveplenty of scope for interaction with students. Our teachers use thefollowing methods for participative and interactive learning to makethe students more communicative and confident.

Regular Q/A sessions at the end of lectures.

----------------------------------- {46} -----------------------------------


Group Discussion Classroom seminars Workshops Use of Black/Green boards Role Play

Collaborative Learning: The commerce syllabus offers plenty ofopportunities for interdisciplinary and collaborative learning. Owing toits inherent links with trade, commerce, industry and other matters ofeconomy, the commerce curriculum can be best delivered inassociation with these domains. In order to facilitate such collaborativelearning, the college has the following support structures and systems:

Field visits to prominent industry/establishments/Governmentoffices etc. in the region for familiarizing students with thepractical component of syllabus.

Industrial Tours to prominent industries in the country tofamiliarize students with various management systems in industry.

Through commerce Lab we are providing practical training to ourstudents filling the income tax return and various form by theexpert of this field.

Independent Learning: In order to encourage independent learning,we have the following systems:

Projects Case Studies Home Assignments

Innovative Learning Experiences: Owing to the advent of ICT andits growing use in commerce education, our teachers have alreadyadopted an ICT-oriented approach for the delivery of the curriculum.

As per the instructions of our management, minimum 40% syllabusis to be taught through ICT- enabled teaching methods.

All of our teachers prepare their lesson plans well in advance for allthe subjects and are delivering the same through PPT presentations.

Teachers also download videos of prominent academicians,economists, entrepreneurs etc. and show them in the classroom tosupplement the relevant topic in the syllabus.

There is also provision of TV which we use for live budget andsimilar such economic events for providing to students innovativeand unique learning experiences.In order to implement the above methods of learning, the collegehas created competent support structure and systems.

In addition to the sound infrastructure in the form of Computers inall departments, computer labs, language lab, internet, A/V aids,library resources etc., we have competent HR back-up in the formof internal and guest faculty.

----------------------------------- { 47 } -----------------------------------


We have also systemized our T/L activity and the whole process isadministered through various committees constituted for specificpurposes.

We have also set up a Commerce Lab where practical componentsof commerce syllabus like filling and filing of tax returns, or stockexchange transactions etc. are dealt with.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity andscientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators?As on academics, we are also equally focused on the co-curricularaspects which facilitate critical thinking, creativity and scientifictemper among the students. Numbers of programmes are organized allthrough the year to nurture the above attributes. Some examples:

Critical Thinking:

Through the conduct of programmes like Seminars, Group Discussions, Debates, Commerce Quiz, Elocution, Book Reading and Review, Essay writing, Model Building, My Business Plan, Just a Minute and similar such competitions, we ensure that our students develop the ability of critical thinking. Students are encouraged to watch Live Budget discuss the same with teachers. Further, if some students are found to be doing exceptionally well in some areas, they are groomed and sent to extra-mural competitions at various levels.

Creativity:Though a commerce college, we take due care of our students’ creativeurges. We have thus set up Language Study Circles where studentsfind a platform for creative writing. We also publish our annualArthasandesh where students contribute their articles and poems.Our college magazine has been awarded the First Consolationprize by the RTM Nagpur University in 2011-12 and 12-13academic years.We also organize poster competitions on special events or days on thethemes of drugs, tobacco, AIDS, Save girl child, child abuse etc. andgive prizes to winners.Scientific Temper:

In order to develop in students the scientific spirit, inquisitiveness,rationalism, we encourage our students to visit the library and hunt forthe primary sources. We have in our library books by Adam Smith,Carl Marx, Dr Amartya Sen and scores of other books by and oneminent professionals.

2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by thefaculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning -resources from National Programme on Technology EnhancedLearning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education throughInformation and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), openeducational resources, mobile education, etc.

----------------------------------- {48} -----------------------------------


The Following technologies and facilities are used by the faculty forteachers for teaching the curriculum: Computer labs and Internet INFLIBNET LCD/OHP/TV and other A/V Aids

2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level ofknowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars,workshops etc.)?

Our teachers are constantly encouraged to use innovative teachingmethods for maximum delivery and transaction of the syllabi andcurricula. The Commerce Stream which is evolving and expanding dayby day also offers lot of scope for innovative approach. We expose ourteachers and students to advanced level of knowledge and skillsthrough the implementation of the following:Blended Learning :

In addition to the traditional lecture method or the B/B work, ourteachers make a regular use of LCD/ PPT presentations for deliveringthe syllabus. Teachers also download the videos of speeches ofeminent persons and show them in classrooms. The practical aspectsof the syllabus like accounting or filing of returns etc. are taught byusing relevant software/packages.

Guest/Expert Lectures : From time to time, we invite experts, professionals, entrepreneurs andrenowned personalities as guest faculty for expert inputs on selectunits/topics of the syllabus. In recent times, we have invited thefollowing experts to our college for delivering guest lecturers:

2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methodsadopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are theefforts made by the institution to encourage the faulty to adoptnew and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovativepractices on student learning?

As said earlier, the college has always put premium on the innovativeteaching methods. The following approaches/methods are practiced byour faculty on a regular basis:

ICT-enabled methods : In order to keep students well-informedabout the latest in respective subject areas, teachers encourage thestudents to make maximum use of Internet facility for collecting andcompiling data on current events and relate the same to theirlearning units. Teachers also download lectures/speeches ofrenowned academicians/professionals and show them in aclassroom. Home assignments/projects involving the use of Internetare given to students on a regular basis.

Use of A/V Aids : In addition to the traditional OHP’s and slides, wenow make a frequent use of DLP’s and power-point presentations.

Our management has already directed us to convert all teachingunits into power-point lectures. As on today, each teacher isrequired to deliver minimum 40% of the syllabus through PPT.Teachers also make a generous use of TV/ DVD’s for screening theeducational shows, documentaries and movies as and whenrequired.

Classroom Seminars and Workshops: In order to promoteinteractive and participatory Teaching-learning, we have introducedclassroom seminars and workshops. Students are given the topicsfrom their syllabus and also outside the syllabus on which they arerequired to prepare PPT presentations/read papers in classroomseminars.

There are also workshops for preparing models or acquisition ofspecific skills like ‘how to open email account and send mails’ andother ICT related skills, or ‘how to approach university and otherexaminations’, soft skills etc.

Group Discussions: To encourage interactive and participatoryapproach, we also organize in classrooms the Group discussionsessions on selected topics in the syllabus or any related currentevent. In recent past, we have organized GD’s, seminars etc. onissues as FDI, Disinvestment, Farmers’ Suicide, Pricing ofPetrol/Diesel etc.

Home Assignments and Projects: In order to promote in-depth

----------------------------------- {52} -----------------------------------


study habits and research aptitude, teachers regularly give homeassignments and project work on related subjects.

Commerce Lab : The Commerce Lab has been set up as a part ofinnovative approach of teaching. The Lab is centre for familiarizingstudents with various concepts through the help of models, charts,and diagrams. The Lab also displays various commercial formats asused in banking, insurance, railways, income tax etc. and studentsare trained to fill up and use those formats.

Income Tax Advisory Center : The Centre has been set up to study

and practice the practical side of Income Tax. Here students aretaught to fill and file the returns. The Centre also offers guidanceand counseling on filing the returns to the needy people in theregion free of cost.

In addition to the above, teachers also make frequent use ofsimulated teaching practices, role plays, quiz etc. for better studentparticipation and involvement. The college management is verysupportive to teachers for all these innovative practices. Teachersare provided Laptops/DLP’s and other infrastructural back-up forthe above.

2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learningprocess?

The college library is the richest in the district containing 50,555 booksincluding reference books and encyclopedias, 41 periodicals andjournals in different subjects along with the INFLIBNET. There is alsoNetwork Resource Centre.The library is managed by a full timelibrarian, an assistant librarian, two library assistants and other staff.The library functions from 10 A.M. to 6P.M. on all the working daysand fulfills the needs of the staff and students. The transactions arefully computerized.

The accession of the books and journals are of both manual andcomputerized. The staff and students are issued various books as pertheir needs through the issue of borrower tickets. The new arrivals areput on display for the staff and students at the entrance of the library.The INFLIBNET pass word for accession is issued to both the staffand students. Along with books, journals, magazines, encyclopediasare also available to users. Students securing more than 65% in thepreceding exam are provided the facility of books for the entireacademic session.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing thecurriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’,elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutionalapproaches to overcome these.

As per the UGC norms, the teaching period for any session is 180

----------------------------------- { 53 } -----------------------------------


days. Usually all teaching work is completed in thirty weeks. Butsince the couple of years, RTMNU Nagpur delays in result declaration.If we totally depend on it then our curriculum cannot be completedwithin the prescribed time limit. So this is a major challenge for us.But we have overcome it by starting teaching regularly from thecommencement of the session without waiting for University resultcomplying the norms of 180 days teaching.

For successful implementation and running of the classes we informour students via differently/various media of communication likemobile SMS, face book etc.

Our college is centre of various exams conducted by university. Inwinter session most of the University exams are conducted andtherefore classrooms are engaged but we have overcome this problemby increasing the number of classrooms. Apart from this our institutiondoes not face any challenges in completing curriculum within the giventime frame as per the academic calendar. This is due to varioussystematic approaches adopted by the institution. They include:

1. Teaching plan is prepared by the faculty well in advance andrecorded in academic diary;

2. The allocation of subjects to the faculty is done prior to the start ofacademic year;

3. Continuous evaluation of course completion is done by the Head ofthe Department and other authorities on the basis of teaching plan;

4. Guest Lectures, additional classes, bridge courses, remedial classesand extra classes are conducted, if necessary.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality ofteaching -learning? The institution continuously monitors the teaching- learning activity asper the following mechanism:

1. Regular check of academic diaries by the HOD’s/Principal2. Feedback from the students;3. Internal Assessment4. Peer Review Mechanism as initiated by the Management5. Feedback from the faculty;6. Feedback received through parents meets and alumni meets;7. Guidelines from resource persons and external faculty etc.

The feedback derived from above sources is evaluated and

implemented from time to time.2.4 Teacher Quality 2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies

adopted by the college in planning and management (recruitment

----------------------------------- {54} -----------------------------------


and retention) of its human resource (qualified and competentteachers) to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum

As per the University and State Government set-up, number ofteaching and non-teaching staff in grant-in-aid programmes is decidedon the basis of total workload available in the college as per thedemands of each academic programme. In our college, the following is the position of sanctioned posts:

1) Asst. Professors/Associate Professors/Professors in Commerce 162) Asst. Professors in English 023) Asst. Professor in Marathi 014) Asst. Professor in Hindi: 01 (Guest)5) Director of Physical Education 026) Assistant Librarian 01

Whenever there is a vacancy owing to the superannuation, resignationor death of any teacher, the college has to start a process of filling thevacant post. The process involves obtaining the NOC’s from theUniversity/ State Government which is represented by the JointDirector of Education (HE). As per the present scene, each grant-in-aided and an affiliated college has to follow the Government’s policyof reservation in recruitment.

Our management has adopted a very broad approach for recruiting thebest available talent around. As a result the vacant posts are advertisedin both national and state level newspapers leading to the receipt oflarge number of applications which offers us a number of choices forselecting the candidates.

Another advantage that the college enjoys as a minority institute is theselection of experts in interview panels which are eventually approvedby the vice-chancellor. Effectively, it means that we control the entireselection process and can select the candidates as per our actualrequirements without any external pressure. Even though the collegeenjoys the privileges of a minority institute, it still has to follow thenorms of eligibility as prescribed by the UGC.

Similarly, we also follow the process of written tests, teachingdemonstration and interview for selecting the right candidates for theright job. All appointments have to be approved by the University andthe State Government. All new candidates are initially appointed onprobation of one year which is extendable by one more year in case acandidate needs more time for assessment. If probation period iscompleted successfully, the services of a teacher are confirmed and hegets all benefits entitled to confirmed employees.

The confirmation of a teacher is also to be approved by the college’sLocal Managing Committee. The Principal and HOD continuouslyguide the employee through various situations during his stay in theorganization. All the benefits, opportunities, privileges are provided tothe employee by the government and management from time to time to

----------------------------------- { 55 } -----------------------------------


create a better and secure work atmosphere which ensures optimumperformance.

The institution enjoys a great retention rate. The track record of thecollege shows that one who joins normally stays in the college till hissuperannuation unless there are some exceptional and unavoidablecircumstances. This speaks volumes about our selection process,quality of candidates as well as their loyalty to the institute, andmanagement’s caring attitude towards the performing teachers.

Teachers are given complete freedom to work and excel in the dutiesand responsibilities assigned to them. The institution alwaysencourages the faculty members to update their knowledge and skillsin addition to developing their qualifications. There is also a provisionof appointing contributory, part-time and contract teachers in case theNOC’s from the authorities are delayed.

For self-financing courses, too, similar norms of appointment arefollowed. The college and management are always conscious ofteachers’ quality and equally supportive of all those teachers who wantto grow academically. At the time of last accreditation, for example,we had only 02 teachers with Ph.D. qualification. Now there are asmany as 11 teachers with Ph.D’s, while 02 teachers have M. Phil.Qualification. The rest are pursuing their Ph. D.’s.

The following is the qualitative profile of our teachers:

2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcityof qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas(emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT,Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by theinstitution in this direction and the outcome during the last threeyears.

Apparently, the institution has, never faced a scarcity situation in thepast as all the best and available talent in the region always vies for us.In cases of traditional grant-in-aid courses of B. Com. and M. Com.,we always get as many teachers as we want through the selectionprocesses recommended by the UGC/Government/ University. Thereare, however, are some teaching problems when we start a new courseor a subject as fully qualified faculty is not so easily available at a shortnotice. In such cases, we take recourse to the following:

During the last three years the college has not started any newprogramme affiliated to University, but two add on courses have beenstarted i.e. Computer Accounting and Spoken English. Beside, thesethe college has also started, CA-CPT Guidance Centre. To cope upthis demand, we already have competent full fledge faculties and timeto time we have also invited few subject experts.

2.4.3 Providing details on staff development programmes during the lastfour years and elaborate on the strategies adopted by theinstitution in enhancing the teacher quality.

A) Nomination to staff development programmes

Academic Staff Development Programmes Number of facultynominated

Refresher courses 06HRD programmesOrientation programmes 02Staff training conducted by the university 01Staff training conducted by other institutions --

Summer / winter schools, workshops, etc.

B) Faculty Training programmes organized by the institution toempower and enable the use of various tools and technology forimproved teaching-learning

There is a blend of both informal and formal in the organization of thefaculty training programmes in the institute. As can be understood,there cannot be too many elaborately organized programmes in asession. Therefore issues like T/L methods, new curriculum, contentmanagement etc. are generally dealt with in impromptu and informalmanner as follows; Teaching learning methods/approaches:

For effective teaching-learning methods, Principal and HOD’s conductthe meeting of all teachers at the commencement of the session andapprise them about the strategies to be adopted by them in dealing withcertain subjects on the basis of the feedback received from students. Handling new curriculum :

----------------------------------- {58} -----------------------------------


Usually new curriculum is introduced by the university after every 5years. Whenever it happens the university conducts the subject-wiseorientation courses where we depute our teachers without fail. At thecollege level, senior teachers also conduct faculty meetings for trainingjunior teachers in the new subjects. Similar strategies are applied whenthere is an introduction of a new subject/optional in the curriculum. The situation of teachers being at a disadvantage in the face of newcurriculum/subjects etc. rarely happens in the Commerce faculty as allteachers are adept in handling all Commerce subjects; they are notappointed for any single subjects but for all Commerce streamsubjects. Content/knowledge management : In view of the ever growing corpus of knowledge in all faculties andsubjects, all teachers face the problem of content/knowledgemanagement. To cope up with this problem, each teacher has to devisehis own plan and refer students only those books and references whichfall in the category of most essential and must-read. So far, noworkshop or any faculty training programme has been organized byeither our parent or any neighboring university or any affiliatedcollege. Teachers are also asked to update their knowledge level byreferring to the current and the latest happenings in their respectivesubject areas. Right now content/knowledge management is handledby our teachers at their own level effectively. Selection, development and use of enrichment materials

This again is best left to individual teachers as to how they developtheir teaching and enrichment material and disseminate it amongstudents. All teachers in the institute are required to createsupplementary and complementary study material by referring to thelatest books, journals and periodicals and current happenings in theworld of trade and commerce. Teachers also provide students the casestudies/corporate profiles/balance sheets of big companies asenrichment material. Assessment: Since there is already a fairly well established system as prescribed bythe University for both internal and external assessment, no facultytraining per se is required. At the college level, the assessment activityis handled by a special Examination Committee which plans the yearlyinternal assessment schedules at the beginning of the session. Teachersat their level too are constantly engaged in the process of internalassessment with respect to their own subjects through the class andunit tests, classroom seminars etc. Cross cutting issues : The issues like Gender Sensitization and Human Rights have generallybeen non-issues in the institute since our basic approach is all-accommodative. We have students from all sections of the society

----------------------------------- { 59 } -----------------------------------


belonging to various castes, religions, cultures etc. Still we have set upCells for Gender Sensitization, Sexual Harassment Ragging andGrievance Redressal to take preventive measures with regard to theseissues. Environment and ICT are now the regular features of allcurricula and necessary training for using tools and technology forteaching these subjects has already been acquired by the concernedteachers. Audio Visual Aids/multimedia : Every year a two-day training workshop for the use of audio-visualaids is organized at the start of the session. In the current session, thecollege has organized an Eight-day workshop on “Use of ICT in theTeaching- Learning Process”. Open Educational Resources (OER’s)There are a number of OER’s which are accessible to one and all inalmost all subject areas. All teachers make use of these resources on aregular basis for more productive T/L output and value addition. Teaching learning material development, selection and use:The syllabi, text-books as well as the reference books for alleducational courses are recommended by the University. On the basisof this, teachers themselves select the units where special studymaterial is to be developed and in what form. Usually the need fordevelopment of study material is felt when a new subject or a newtopic is added to the existing syllabus. Our teachers, however, areconstantly in the process of preparing and updating study material. Allteachers have also converted their teaching units into PPT form andthey use them regularly in classrooms. The photocopies of teachingnotes are also distributed among students.

C) Percentage of faculty Total 12% teachers invited as resource persons in Workshops /

Seminars / Conferences organized by external professionalagencies.

Total 100% teachers participated in external Workshops / Seminars/Conferences recognized by national/international professionalbodies.

Total 100% teachers presented papers in Workshops / Seminars /Conferences conducted or recognized by professional agencies.

2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg:providing research grants, study leave, support for research andacademic publications teaching experience in other nationalinstitutions and specialized programmes industrial engagementetc.)

We have the following systems in place for encouraging andrecharging our teachers for their academic growth:Research Grants:

The college motivates the faculty members to apply for both Minor

----------------------------------- {60} -----------------------------------


and Major research projects funded by the UGC and other agencies.Till date 09 faculty members have sent their research proposals forminor and major research projects and we have already receivedUGC’s approval for 01 major and 06 minor research projects. 01minor research project has already been submitted to the UGC.Study Leave:There is a provision of paid (for two years only) study leave forteachers who are confirmed in service and have spent minimum threeyears in the institute. Teachers can proceed on leave to pursue a specialline of study or research or Ph. D. Support for Research and academic publications:In addition to the grants that can be received from the UGC and otherexternal agencies, our management Shiksha Mandal, Wardha hascreated a Corpus Fund of Rs5,000/- for all SM teachers for seedmoney. Those teachers who are doing research are granted Duty Leavewhenever they have to go for data collection or related work. ResearchSupervisors are given a rebate of two lectures in teaching workload.For publication of Ph. D. theses, UGC offers financial assistance.Teachers are also encouraged to publish text-books on their respectivesubjects. Such teachers are given additional library facilities and leave,if required, within permissible limits.Teaching Experience:

Teaching experience in previous institute is considered forappointments, placements and promotions. The last pay in the previousestablishment is also protected as per the rules.Deputation to FDP’s:

Teachers are also deputed for attending orientation and refreshercourses/ workshops / seminars at both the state and national levels.

2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition atthe state, national and international level for excellence in teachingduring the last four years. Enunciate how the institutional cultureand environment contributed to such performance/achievement ofthe faculty.Prof. Kishore D. Pophali, Director of Physical Education has received“Shiv Chatrapati Puraskar” for excellence in sports from theGovernment of Maharashtra in 2009. The institution provides an excellent environment for development andgrowth of its faculty. Since its inception, the institute has encouragedteachers in both academic and extra-curricular activities so that theirpotential and skills would earn name and fame for both the teachersand institute.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the

----------------------------------- { 61 } -----------------------------------


students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used forimproving the quality of the teaching-learning process?The institution has been practicing for last 15 years the system ofteachers’ evaluation by students and external peers. The system hasbeen introduced at the behest of our management SMW which has alsodesigned a questionnaire for students. Usually, 2-3 teachers or 1/3rd ofthe faculty are identified for feedback and questionnaires aredistributed among the students of the concerned teachers. The feedbackis evaluated at the management level and necessarysuggestions/recommendation/decisions about the concerned teachersare taken. The said teachers are communicated in writing about theirevaluation/ratings etc. by the management. From time to time themanagement directly interacts with the students in the class rooms andcollects feedback.The students and parents also are contacted by the management,Principal and local management committee members from time to timeand feedback from them is obtained. The collected feedback isevaluated and if necessary the concerned faculty is called for aninteraction and necessary suggestions are given to him.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the

institution especially students and faculty are aware of theevaluation processes?

The details regarding the scheme and process of both internal andexternal evaluation of students are incorporated in the collegeprospectus. The evaluation processes and methodologies are alsodetailed in the syllabi of respective courses published by theUniversity. All the syllabi are made available to students and teachersin the college library. Similarly, entire evaluation process is explainedto students at the very beginning of the session through formal sessionsand also interpersonal interactions. Further, there are notices andcirculars which announce the actual schedules of assessmentprogrammes. Nowadays, we have also started sending SMS’s tostudents to ensure that students get the information about allexamination schedules.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that theinstitution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by theinstitution on its own?

Being an affiliated college, we implement all changes/reforms that ourparent university effects in either the syllabi or the evaluationprocesses. During the last four years university introduced somechanges in the syllabi of B. Com. for the subjects of Business Law,Monetary Economics and Financial Accounting and also conductedtwo orientation programmes to apprise the teachers about the changes.We deputed our teachers for these programmes. From the session2012-13, the university has also introduced semester pattern for M.

----------------------------------- {62} -----------------------------------


Com. with a new evaluation pattern with credit system. We haveimplemented the programme accordingly. At the institutional level, wesupport the university reforms by adding our own in terms of increasednumber of unit tests/home assignments etc. since we control theprocess of internal assessment.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of theevaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by theinstitution on its own? As mentioned earlier, we implement all the changes and reforms asaffected by the parent university from time to time. In order to ensurethat all evaluation reforms are implemented successfully, the collegehas set up a full-fledged Examination Committee.The Committee, headed by Principal/Coordinator, and comprisingfaculty members, chalks out entire evaluation/assessment schedule forthe session in keeping with the University/college’s academic calendar.The committee also ensures that entire procedures ofassessment/evaluation take place on the prescribed lines. Theassessment/examination schedules are notified throughnotices/circulars and other means of internal communication. In somecases, if required, we also send SMS to our students.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluationapproaches adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a fewexamples which have positively impacted the system.The institution has adopted both the formative and summativeapproaches for evaluation of students and their achievements.

Formative Approaches: For the evaluation of academic and otheractivities during the session, teachers adopt the tools of homeassignments, class-room/unit tests, surprise tests, term endexaminations, project-work, viva-voce etc.We also measure students’progress through exercises in Case Studies, Group Discussions, Quizcontests, Role Play contests etcSummative Approaches: The summative evaluation is controlled bythe university through year/semester end examinations. The recentintroduction of semester pattern and new examination system whichentails internal assessment in all subjects has left a very positiveimpact on the performance of students. Because of two universityexaminations in one session, the intensity of studies on the part ofstudents has definitely increased and they have now become moresystematic in their approach towards academics.

2.5.5 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates theprogress and performance of students through the duration of thecourse/programme? Provide an analysis of the studentsresults/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years)and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievementacross the programmes/courses offered.

----------------------------------- { 63 } -----------------------------------


The progress and performance of students are constantly monitored bythe institute through the following mechanism:

Performance in Internal Examinations is assessed and monitored byrespective subject teachers who distribute the checked answer-books tostudents and also offer counseling to poor performers. The results of allinternal examinations are documented by the Examination Committee.Performance in the formative evaluation is considered for final internalassessment at the time of viva voce. The performance of students inall internal examinations as well as other curricular and extra-curricular performances is shared with guardians in the parent-teachermeets.

Performance in University Examinations is assessed through anelaborate mechanism which involves appointment ofexaminers/moderators by the University at its end. The results aredeclared by the university on its website within 45 days of theexamination. All examinees are given their score cards which aredistributed in their respective colleges.

All university results are further subjected to analysis by the AcademicAudit Committee which recommends corrective measures includingthe necessity of conducting remedial classes for poor performers. Theother activities to monitor and communicate the progress andperformance of students are as follows:

1. Various parameters of student evaluation are detailed inprospectus.

2. Periodical display of class test on notice board and class roomscirculation

3. The unit and terminal test examinations results are mentioned inthe academic diary which is further observed and verified by HODand Principal.

4. At the end of the session all the academic diaries are submitted tothe management for observation and verification.

5. Principal discusses with concerned teachers the shortcomingsfound while evaluating the diaries and gives suggestions.

At the time of viva voce, the panel takes into account the parameters ofbehavior and conduct, classroom attendance, communication skills etc.in addition to the subject knowledge of students. Similar norms areapplied when students are selected / deputed to sports and othercompetitions, both in-house and extra-mural. It is asserted that theprocess of internal assessment is both rigorous and totally transparentand that there is no scope for any aberration whatsoever.

2.5.7. Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation as an indicator for evaluating student performance,achievement of learning objectives and planning? If ‘yes’ providedetails on the process and cite a few examples.Yes. The institution and teachers regard the assessment / evaluation ofstudents as an integral part of the entire education process and anindicator of students’ performances, achievement of learningobjectives and planning. At the beginning of the session, all teachersplan their classroom activities, and also set new benchmarks for boththemselves and their subjects. Similarly, all university syllabi areframed with a set of specific learning objectives. Through bothformative and summative evaluation, each teacher can assess as towhat extent the intended benchmarks/objectives have been achieved.The performance of students in co-curricular and extra-curricularactivities is observed through in-house competitions, groupdiscussions, classroom seminars, extension activities, sports, NCC etc.and new targets are set for the next sessions. It is on the basis of thisassessment that the teams for various activities/sports etc. are selectedand only the deserving are sent to participate in various inter-

----------------------------------- { 65 } -----------------------------------


collegiate and inter-university competitions viz. Avishkar,Ashwamegh, Yuvarang etc.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances withreference to evaluation both at the college and University level?At the college level, the process of internal assessment is so transparentthat there is hardly any situation for grievance. Still, if there are anyissues, they are resolved at the classroom/teacher level. It needs to behighlighted that all the checked answer-books of unit tests, terminalexaminations, projects and home assignments are discussed withstudents and returned to them. During viva-voce, full objectivity andtransparency is maintained eliminating any chance of grievance. Still,in case of any queries or grievances, students can directly approach theconcerned teacher or Principal. At the university level, students have the option of applying forrevaluation. In such case, students can ask for the photocopies of theiranswer-books which they share with their subject-teachers. Theteachers advise the students either for or against revaluation on thebasis of the actual performance of students.

2.6 Student performance and Learning Outcomes2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’

give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?The mission, goals and objectives of the institute are clearly stated inthe college prospectus and also prominently displayed in the college.At the beginning of the session, Principal convenes the meeting ofStaff Council where academic progress and outcomes of previoussession are discussed threadbare. It is in the same meeting that the newtargets and benchmarks in terms of learning outcomes are set and allteachers are asked to plan their activities accordingly. Similarly, allsubject teachers spell out before their students the course objectives aswell as their subject targets at the opening of the session. All relatedactivities for achieving these targets are notified well in advancethrough common and specific notices and circulars.

2.6.2 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of theinstitution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intendedlearning outcomes? The goals and objectives of the college, as said earlier, are clearly speltout in the college prospectus. The intended learning outcomes of theinstitute viz. acquisition of knowledge and skills, global competencies,value addition, all-round development of personality and soft skills,good results and merit positions, employability, placement etc. are inconsonance with institutional objectives. All curricular, co-curricular,and extra-curricular activities in the college are primarily orientedtowards the achieving of these outcomes as follows:

2.6.3 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution toenhance the social and economic relevance (quality Jobs,entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude) of thecourses offered? The institute offers the courses of B. Com. and B. Com. (ComputerApplication) at the UG level and M. Com. and M. B. A. at the PGlevel. All the above courses belong to the Faculty of Commerce andare meant to produce batches of professionals like CA’s, CS’s, CWA’sand entrepreneurs in the field of commerce and industry. In addition,students can also join other professions like teaching and research,law, banking etc. In order to prepare students for these vocations andto enhance the social and economic relevance of the courses, theinstitute conducts various activities and programmes as follows:1. Career Guidance Cell Activities:

In order to make students aware of various career opportunities available to them in the field of commerce and economics, the CGC regularly conducts seminars and workshops. It also organizes lecturers/talks by experts from academics, and industry. Similarly the CGC also conducts sessions for soft skills, interview techniques, and personality development to increase the employability of students. It

----------------------------------- { 67 } -----------------------------------


also arranges campus interviews by inviting reputed companies to the college.2. Commerce Study Circle Activities :

In order to make the commerce courses socially relevant andmeaningful, the CSC has started some novel things like freecounseling camps for filing of tax returns and also the share market.The CSC also organizes field visits local industry to expose studentsto ground realities in terms of marketing, HRM and other relatedissues to promote critical thinking and research aptitude in students.The Institute has also recently launched “My Business Plan”competition to inculcate research aptitude and also to promotemanagerial, entrepreneurial and corporate skills.

2.6.4 How does the institution collect and analyze data on studentlearning outcomes and use it for planning and overcomingbarriers of learning? The institution collects the data on learning outcomes through internalexaminations, project work, home assignments, viva-voce, impromptutests, quiz/debate and other in-house competitions conductedthroughout the session. There are also measures like GeneralKnowledge test, Commerce test, Case Studies, Group Discussions,Role Plays, and Seminars etc. to assess the students’ performance inthe co-curricular and skill-oriented activities. The feedback derivedthrough general observation is analyzed by teachers who takeappropriate steps for further grooming of students. In case of poorperformers, teachers conduct remedial coaching.

2.6.5 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement oflearning outcomes?The college has set up an Academic Audit Committee which isentrusted with result and other analyses. We also have studentmentorship/class-teacher system to closely monitor students’ progressand development in the college. The feedback derived through thesesystems is used while sending Internal Assessment marks to theuniversity. Since students are already made aware of InternalAssessment system, they ensure that they are in position to show thedesired learning outcomes at the time of viva-voce which is the last testthat students have to face in a session.

2.6.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by thecollege/affiliating university? How does the college ensure theattainment of these by the students?All universities and colleges generally consider the following asgraduate/post-graduate attributes:

CRITERION VI GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on how the mission statement defines 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 orientations, vision for the future, etc.?

Govindram Seksaria College of Commerce, the first institute in thecountry to use the National Language Hindi as the medium ofinstruction in the Faculty of Commerce, was established in 1940 withthe VISION “Udyoginam Purushsinham Urpeti Laxmi” (“Industriousand lion-hearted men generate wealth”).

The basic approach of Shiksha Mandal, Wardha, our founder society,has always been Gandhian. We strive to focus on the 3 H’s (Head,Heart and Hand) along with the noble principles of truth, non-violence,service to humanity, upliftment of the poor and down-trodden, creationof ideal citizenship, and the spread of education which remain theprime objectives of Shiksha Mandal.

Shiksha Mandal has been devotedly rendering its services to studentsand society with a missionary zeal. A commitment to theenlightenment and enrichment of students thus underlines all ourefforts at Shiksha Mandal and GSW.

MISSION

1. To improve the quality of academic inputs constantly2. To promote knowledge and value based education through

academic excellence3. Training students for self employment,4. To provide education to masses with updated infrastructural

facilities and services at relatively reasonable fees

Blood Donation Camp conducted by the NSS department in the college


5. To develop the spirit of patriotism, discipline and a sense of socialresponsibilities by following the principles and ideologies ofGandhiji and Vinobaji.

GSW was established against the backdrop of Gandhiji’s call for theneed of basic education in India. As a matter of fact, and history, thefirst ever National Conference on Basic Education was hosted byShiksha Mandal, Wardha in 1936. From the beginning thus, GSW has been bestowed upon with a verydistinctive character as an institute. In addition to being a centre forcommerce education with an objective of producing lion-hearted menwho generate wealth, GSW has been destined to be a place wherenationalism and patriotism, social service are preached and practicedon the lines of Gandhiji and Vinobaji whose ashrams are within a 10Kradius of GSW. The nationalistic fervor in GSW, for example, was evident when thestaff and students actively participated in the ‘Quit India’ movementand got arrested. Being the first Commerce College in the NagpurUniversity and the first commerce college in the country to impartcommerce education in Hindi medium, GSW automatically became apioneer in terms of both the syllabi and their transaction. All universitysystems in so far as the Faculty of Commerce was concerned owedtheir origins to GSW in the 1940’s. All students seeking admission to GSW are made aware of this legacythrough the Prospectus, college meetings and programmes, addressesby the office bearers of Shiksha Mandal, and there are consciousefforts on the part of all stakeholders to not only preserve this legacybut also build upon it the future of GSW. The future plans of theinstitute include To offer more Commerce-oriented courses to our students so that

they do not have to go outside Wardha for their higher education. To introduce more innovative teaching-learning methods in keeping

with the times To introduce more job-oriented and value addition courses To provide more placement opportunities to students through

organized campus interviews To set up linkages with industry and corporate for practical training,

internships and placements To add to the existing infrastructure as per the demands of

educational courses To apply for institutional autonomyIn its 73rd year of existence, GSW can say with a lot of pride that it isdoing its best to fulfill the aims and objectives with which it started itsjourney in 1940. From a small college to its present form, the collegehas been unwaveringly following the path laid down by our founders.During the course of its journey, the college has undergone quite a few

----------------------------------- { 143 } -----------------------------------


changes but that was never at the cost of our basic approach. So, whiletaking strides towards modernity, we have not forsaken ourcommitment to the SM legacy, nor have we deviated from our path ofgiving quality education at affordable cost even as higher education isbeing commercialized at a very rapid pace.

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty indesign and implementation of its quality policy and plans?

The top priority of the college management is to provide qualityeducation at affordable cost and in the process fulfill the aims andobjectives of both the parent organization and the institute. Themanagement, Principal and faculty of the college are always consciousof this policy and accordingly design and implement the plans for theinstitute. Generally, policy formation begins at the institutional levelwhere faculty and Principal chalk out various strategies for the institutebased on its requirements, feedback from various quarters and as perthe suggestions of IQAC. These strategies are discussed and shaped inthe Staff Council meetings under the chairmanship of Principal.At the second stage, the plans are discussed at the LMC meetingswhich are chaired by the Chairman of the LMC. Necessary resolutionsregarding plans and proposals are passed in LMC meetings.Accordingly, proposals and budgets are prepared by the concernedcommittees/conveners and submitted to Principal and Management forfinal approval. If the proposals involve funding at the managementend, they are taken up for discussion at the SM AGM which is chairedby our President Shri Rahulji Bajaj. On occasions, policies emanatefrom the management and are implemented by all the institutes run bySMW. The quality consciousness of our management can be furthergauged by the fact that it has set up its own QAC at the SM HQ’s toform policies regarding qualitative aspects.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring? The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the

stated mission Formulation of action plans for all operations and

incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plan Interaction with stakeholders Proper support for policy and planning through need

analysis , research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders

Reinforcing the culture of excellence Champion organizational change The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the

stated mission

To realize the stated mission of the institution, the leadershipintroduces from time to time plans and programmes as per the need ofthe hour and as per the feedback received from stakeholders.

----------------------------------- {144} -----------------------------------


Accordingly, new courses are introduced and new teachingmethodologies are recommended by the management.

To cite some examples:

(a) We restarted our closed MBA programme since our managementreceived a feedback that as a premier commerce college in theregion, GSW must restart the course.

(b) We introduced BCCA course because our management realizedthe relevance of ICT component in Commerce education.

(c) In order to keep pace with the changing times, we have nowstarted transacting the curricula through innovative measures likeICT enabled teaching methods, case studies, guest lectures, groupdiscussions, industrial tours, field visits etc.

(d) Similarly, there are concentrated efforts on the part of one and allto impart to our students skill-based education and practicaltraining in order to make them competent and job-ready.

(e) For an all-round development of students, we encourage them toparticipate in a variety of co-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities through NSS, NCC, Sports and culturalprogrammes.

(f) SMW has introduced GK test for all colleges run by it.(g) SMW invited Dr Gokhale and Dr Mashelkar to Wardha for

special sessions.(h) SMW built a new teaching block for running the college in single

shift.(i) Recently, we have introduced a novel programme called GS-

COMNEXT which enables students to deliberate upon theimmediate issues in the field of Commerce and Industry.

Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plan In order to implement the strategies and plans formulated by themanagement/leadership, various committees headed by theconveners and coordinators are formed at the college level.The planned activities are incorporated in the college calendar andprospectus.

Interaction with stakeholdersThe interaction with the stakeholders is also a continuous process atboth the management and college levels. Since the college and SMHQ’s share a common campus, both of them are frequented by allstakeholders leading to healthy interactions on various issues.

Faculty members, students, parents, and recruiters all have openaccess to our management and its office bearers. The SM officebearers also regularly visit the college and interact with students andteachers to take stock of all situations. This has insured transparencyin all operations run by the college and added a dimension ofaccountability to the staff.

----------------------------------- { 145 } -----------------------------------


Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis,research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders As said earlier, the policy formation begins at both the institute andSM levels and in either case leadership’s nod is required forimplementation of all plans. All policies are framed on the basis ofneed and feedback, and are finalized after thorough analysis andproper consultation with all stakeholders. The factors of feasibilityand organizational resources, number of beneficiaries, andprevalent practices in similar institutes are also taken into accountbefore framing a policy. Restart of MBA and introduction of BCCA could be cited asexamples of this process. The decision to change the collegetimings and also to run it in a single shift was also taken on basis ofinputs received from the students and parents. It needs to bementioned that most students come from the adjoining villages andowing to insufficient transport facility, not many of them were inposition to report in the morning shift. Hence we changed the shiftfrom 7.30 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. In the implementation of all its plans,the institute receives all the support, whether logistic or financial,from SMW.

Reinforcing the culture of excellenceSince its inception, GSW was meant to be an institute withexception rather than becoming a run of the mill college. Since itwas conceived as a specialized Commerce college, it is incumbentupon it to offer the best that is there to the Faculty of Commerce.Whether it is in the conduct of educational programmes or the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, the college always strivesto excel in all departments. Our management does not leave anystone unturned in reinforcing the culture of excellence. Fromadmissions to results, all our systems are underlined by qualityconsciousness which is reflected by the relevant statistics. In orderto promote the culture of excellence in all its colleges, ourmanagement SMW has introduced the following schemes:

(a) Seed Money for Research: SMW wants all its teachers to beengaged in quality research and therefore has instituted somecorpus fund to provide seed money to researching teachersbefore they get any financial assistance from the UGC or otheragencies.

(b) Felicitating meritorious students and giving them cashprizes: In order to encourage the meritorious students, SMWhas started the practice of felicitating students and giving themcash prizes. This year all students scoring 80% and abovemarks were given cash prizes of Rs. 1000/- each in all SM runcolleges.

(c) Upgradation of Infrastructure: In order to meet theinfrastructural demands for all activity in the college, SMW

----------------------------------- {146} -----------------------------------


helps out all its colleges through the management funds. Be itbuildings or furniture, equipment or maintenance, facilities orany other resources, it always settles for the best much to thebenefit of students and teachers.

Champion organizational change

Change is a condition of progress and therefore our management isnot averse to effect changes at the organizational level wheneverrequired or overdue. As a result, all teachers and staff members arerequired to handle a new committee or assignment rather thangetting stuck with any particular job for a long duration.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor andevaluate policies and plans of the institution for effectiveimplementation and improvement from time to time?In order to implement, monitor and evaluate its policies and plans, thecollege has adopted the following mechanism:(a) Formation of Committees comprising a convener and members (b) Review of the work done in the Staff Council meetings(c) Presentation of implementation status in the LMC meetings(d) Final presentation and review leading to either continuation or

modification of the policies in the SM AGM.6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by

the top management?

SM is headed by Shri Rahul Bajaj, the Chairman of the Bajaj Auto Ltd.Under his dynamic leadership, SMW has evolved as an organizationwith a purpose. Further, there are reputed entrepreneurs andacademicians who are contributing to the cause of SMW as members.Shri Sanjay Bhargava, General Secretary, SMW, is, for instance, apass-out of IIM B.

The faculty and staff at GSW are thus privileged to get constantguidance from these stalwarts who often encourage teachers to buildthe teams of committed workers and become team-leaders on theirown. As a result, all faculty members are assigned responsibilities asboth members and conveners to carry out implementation of collegeplans and policies. Teachers are also appointed as coordinators for theconduct of add-on or value addition courses or UGC schemes, orWarden or in-charge of any other incidental duties. Teachers are alsomade organizing secretaries for national or other conference in thecollege.

Teachers are encouraged to work on Minor or Major Research Projectsand given full freedom. Further, when there are SMW programmes,teachers and students are assigned various duties by SMW. All theseencouragements are intended to develop leadership qualities in bothteachers and students.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

The system ofdecentralized governance is also practiced in the functioning of otherunits constituted for the conduct of both curricular and extra-curricularactivities. The various conveners and coordinators appointed forcommittees, cells, and activities are given full operational freedom forplanning and execution of their assigned activities. Since the targets forthe session are already decided and due accountability is fixed for allin-charges, all the work is done on expected lines with minimalinterference from Principal and management.The following responsibilities are discharged by HOD/Coordinator/Convener

----------------------------------- {148} -----------------------------------

Feedback is alsotaken from parents and alumni for new courses and infrastructuralissues through specially conducted meetings. Feedback fromemployers is also sought for introducing value-addition courses.

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment 6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is

it developed, driven, deployed and reviewed? The institution indeed has a formally stated quality policy which isreflected through the college vision and mission and which hascrystallized over the years in the mission statement of “QualityEducation at Affordable Cost.”The above policy is in consonance with the original mission statementof the organization and the rapidly changing socio-economic face ofsociety. The educational needs of the region have also contributed tothe shaping of this policy. Since our institute is essentially a grant-in-aid institute and affiliated to a statutory university, and since we aredeeply rooted in systems of mass education where quantity rather thanquality rules the roost, we have to be very proactive in keeping thebalance between quality and quantity at every turn.In order to ensure quality education at affordable cost, we have decidedupon the following:1. No additional fee other than the fees prescribed by the University

or Government will be charged for grant-in-aid courses.2. For self-financing courses a minimal development fee will be

charged and spent on facilities.3. Well qualified and full-time faculty will be appointed for self-

financing courses.

----------------------------------- { 149 } -----------------------------------


4. All other facilities made available to the grant-in-aid courses willbe made available to students and staff of self-financing coursestoo.

6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies6.3.1 What are the efforts made by the institution to enhance the

professional development of its teaching and non teaching staff?

The institution has always focused on the quality and professionaldevelopment of its faculty. In order to ensure the same the institutemakes the following efforts:

6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for facultyempowerment through training, retraining and motivating theemployees for the roles and responsibility they perform?Since the quality of the transaction of syllabus is exclusively in thehands of teachers, it is important that they should be well-equippedwith all the tools of the trade. In order to ensure this, we have formedthe following strategies:

1. All teachers are required to attend orientation/refreshercourses/FDP’s by turn whenever they are conducted by theparent or other universities.

2. Each teacher to have minimum one MRP to his credit.3. Teachers will go to conferences only if their papers are accepted.4. Each teacher to publish minimum research papers in

journals every year.5. Conducting faculty development programmes in the college. 6. Relaxation to teachers who are actively engaged in research

Owing to the above strategies, 08 faculty members have successfullycompleted their orientation /refresher courses. During the last fouryears 06 faculty members have been awarded Ph.D. since the firstreaccreditation while 03 teachers are working on their Ph. D.’s. It isworth noting that at the time of the first accreditation there was not asingle Ph. D. holder in the institute. As per the suggestion of the PeerTeam, the institution took various initiatives which resulted in total 09faculty members being awarded Ph.D.’s so far. Similarly, substantialresearch work is being done through Minor and Major Researchprojects. At present, the college has completed/submitted 01 minorresearch project, and the work is going on 02 minor and 01 majorresearch projects. 08 teachers have also applied to the UGC for minorresearch projects.

6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff toevaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities isappropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.The college has a three-fold self-appraisal system for the evaluation ofstaff members as follows:

1. UGC format for Self-appraisal (Now replaced by PBAS format)2. Govt. of Maharashtra format for self-appraisal and CR w.e.f.

2012-133. Shiksha Mandal format for self-appraisal and CR

All the three formats are comprehensive enough to capture the staff member’s performance in each and every activity that he does or askedto do. All self-appraisals, in all formats, are evaluated by Principal. The final reviewing authority is Shiksha Mandal. After evaluation by authorities, teachers and staff members are given appropriate grades. The remarks are also shared with the concerned staff members. Since the institute has linked confirmations/ promotions/ placements with self-appraisals and CR’s., the appraisal activity is done with full transparency and objectivity.

6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisalreports by the management and the major decisions taken? Howare they communicated to the appropriate stakeholders? As said earlier, the remarks and the grades awarded to teachers andstaff members are shared with the concerned staff member and hissignature is obtained against the remark/grade. Principal, on his ownand the management’s behalf, points out to the concerned staffmember the areas of concern, if any, so that the concerned staffmember knows where he has to perform better. In case of seriousadverse remarks, either by the management or Principal, the concernedstaff member is communicated the same in writing and the entry of thesame is taken in his service record. For repeated offences punishmentsare imposed after following due procedures.

4. Appointments, approvals, salary and service conditions as per the existing norms of RTM Nagpur university, State Government, andthe UGC.

In today’s scenario where capitation is a common feature in education sector Shiksha Mandal, Wardha is an unique institution which has set up an exemplary bench mark for other institutions for its ethical and quality assurance which has attracted many aspirants for the selection process without being influenced by social. Political and economic ground. Therefore qualitative academicians are enticed towards us.Owing to its reputation of ethical practices and transparent recruitment mechanism, GSW attracts applications from even far-off places. In a recent recruitment process for commerce teachers, for instance, we received applications from far distant places. The college also ensures that the faculty once appointed is retained subject to excellent performance in all areas. In order to ensure the retention of faculty the college takes care of the following:

1. Confirmation in services of probationer-teachers subject toexcellent performance.

As a rule, the institution has to manage itself with the funds availableto it for all recurring and non-recurring expenditure as per the annualbudgets. The deficit situation usually occurs in case of grant-in-aidcourses, as the non-salary grants are limited (5% of the salary grantsreceived in the previous year) and have to be spent within theprescribed limits against fixed heads. Since the needs of the institutionare always growing, the non-salary grants prove to be inadequate andthus institution has to seek assistance from SMW. All deficits thus areborne by SMW and shown as contribution to the institute. For capitalexpenditure, the institute has to rely heavily on the UGC which givesfinancial assistance for building classrooms, hostels, renovation, andpurchases of books, equipment and furniture. Assets are also createdthrough the grants released for minor and major research projects.However, when these grants are not sufficient enough to take care ofthe institutional needs, SMW helps through generous contributions.Recently, SMW built a complete new wing having 09 classrooms tomeet institution’s need of more space for the conduct of its educationalprogrammes.

6.4.4 Give details on the efforts made by the institution in securingadditional funding and the utilization of the same (if any).As a responsible institute, the college is always conscious of the needsof students and for fulfillment of the same tries to generate as many

----------------------------------- {160} -----------------------------------


resources as possible through the prescribed sources besides the StateGovernment grants which are as follows:\1. UGC UGC remains the chief funding agency besides the State Governmentfor all affiliated colleges under 2(f) and 12B. In each plan UGCallocates development grants to all colleges for the construction of aclassroom, purchases of equipment, books etc. In addition, there arespecial grants under merged schemes and also the jubilee grants forcompleting 50/100 years. UGC also releases funds for MRP’s forwhich we apply for from time to time.2. Shiksha Mandal, Wardha

Our parent management Shiksha Mandal, Wardha is our primarysource for whatever assistance we need as an institute.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

A. Has the institution established an Internal Quality AssuranceCell (IQAC)? If ‘yes’, what is the institutional policy withregard to quality assurance and how has it contributed ininstitutionalizing the quality assurance processes?

Yes. The college established Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)in 2004 after its first accreditation. The college has adopted the samequality assurance policy as prescribed by NAAC. AS per the NAACguidelines IQAC has to develop systems for conscious, consistent andcatalytic action for the improvement of the academic andadministrative performance of the institute. Further, IQAC has to actas a nodal agency of the institution for all quality-related activities andfunction as a change agent in the institution.Accordingly, the IQAC has to evolve mechanisms and procedures for Ensuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of

academic, administrative and financial tasks The relevance and quality of academic and research programmes Equitable access to and affordability of academic programmes for

various sections of society Optimization and integration of modern teaching-learning methods The credibility of evaluation procedures Ensuring the adequacy, maintenance and functioning of the support

Administration:1. Office automation2. Staff training for the use of ICT 3. Workshops for on-line submissions4. Library automation

----------------------------------- {162} -----------------------------------


B. How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by themanagement/ authorities for implementation and how many ofthem were actually implemented?

All the decisions taken by the IQAC are invariably implemented by thecollege since all authorities are involved in the decision makingprocess and all the decisions and policies prescribed by the IQAC arein keeping with Shiksha Mandal and NAAC agendas.Some of the major recommendations by the IQAC were about theintroduction of innovative teaching methods, creation of researchatmosphere, organization of seminars and conferences, facultydevelopment programmes, staff training, infrastructural growth,introduction of new co- and extra-curricular activities, consultancy,feedback mechanism etc. All of them have been implemented and weare getting good outcome.C. Does the IQAC have external members on its committee? If so,

mention any significant contribution made by them. At present the IQAC consists of the following members:

,

1. Dr Abdul Bari, Principal/Chairman2. Dr.C.D.Zanwar, SMW (Management)3. Mr.Purushottam Khemuka, Member,SMW (Management)4. Dr. S.C. Maheshwari, Academician (Local Society)5. Dr A. B. Surdas, Director, DAMS , Alumnus6. Mr.Dwarkadas Darak, Alumni7. Mr.Chandresh Mandviya,Alumni8. Mr.Anish Ahmed Ganchi, Businessman9. Prof. A. V. Firke (Teacher)10. Dr K. V. Somanadh (Teacher)11.

Mr.Vasant Wadibhasme, Superintendent, Office Administration16. Mr.Shyam Sunder Sewag, UR17. Mr.Prakash Chopde, Director of Physical Education18. Dr A. K. Mansuri, Coordinator

The various contributions of external members towards the college’sIQAC are as follows: The external members generally contribute by sharing their

experiences in various fields and giving feedback on therequirements of outside world vis-à-vis the syllabi, studentquality, and professional quality leading to the introduction ofnew academic programmes and value addition courses.

External members also facilitate the conduct of fieldvisits/industrial tours, or organization of guest lectures using theirgood contacts outside.

They also contribute in institutionalizing motivationalscholarships for better student performances.

----------------------------------- { 163 } -----------------------------------


They also suggest various other measures to upgrade thestandards of academics as per the demands of time.

D. How do students and alumni contribute to the effectivefunctioning of the IQAC?

The IQAC has both the alumni and student representatives. Theirinputs are sought, in meetings as well as informally, for theintroduction or conduct of any activity in the college. Alumni are alsoinvited for guest lectures.E. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from

different constituents of the institution?The college has a number of departments and units/cells. Since noteverybody can be a member of the IQAC, it is important for thecollege that all IQAC decisions are made known to the teaching andnon-teaching staff. It is for this reason we have evolved the followingmechanism:

1. Circulation of minutes to all the constituents of the college2. Conduct of staff meeting immediately after the IQAC meet3. Discussion of IQAC activity in the LMC meeting4. Formation of committees/appointment of

coordinators/assignment of work to execute IQAC recommendations

5. Circulars and notices from time to time6. Follow-up of the work done/ATR to be discussed in the next

IQAC meet.6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality

assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If ‘yes’,give details on its operationalisation. All activities related to quality assurance in both academics andadministration are planned, controlled and monitored by IQAC.As per the existing mechanism

1. All IQAC plans and quality schemes are well circulated andhanded over to teachers for execution.

2. For the execution of a given programme, Principal/Staff Councilforms the Committees and conveners are appointed.

3. The review of work is done periodically by IQAC coordinatorand Principal.

4. All teachers are required to submit to IQAC copies of theirresearch papers, certificates of participation in academicconferences, publications, achievements etc.

5. All conveners are required to submit to IQAC the annual reportsof their committees.

6. As the nodal agency for quality measures in the institute, IQAChas been linked to all the college departments and units andtherefore is in a position to recommend the instruments of changewhenever necessary.

7. IQAC is also entrusted with the responsibility of streamlining theadministrative aspects and its inputs on PBAS are taken into

----------------------------------- {164} -----------------------------------


account by Principal for CR’s and other related issues likepromotions/placements.

This kind of integrated framework for quality assurance has definitelystood the college in good stead.

6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effectiveimplementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, givedetails enumerating its impact.Yes, the institution provides training to both of its teaching and non-teaching staff as follows:

1. Workshops for the use of ICT in day to day working of thecollege.

2. Workshops on the use of ICT in teaching methodologies.3. FDP’s on Research methodologies for both teachers and students.4. Workshops for students on creating email Id’s and using the

same for communication.5. Handwriting and Examination preparation workshops for

students.6. Skill-building and value addition programmes for students to

better their profiles.6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other external

review of the academic provisions? If ‘yes’, how are the outcomesused to improve the institutional activities?There is no formal institutionalization of academic audit mechanism assuch in the institute. But the things related to academic audit viz.admission profiles, result analysis, the success rate of a given academicprogramme leading to its continuation or closure etc. are taken up fordiscussion on three official forums of the Staff Council, LMC, and theSM AGM.

SM also collects feedback from students through structuredquestionnaires on issues like teacher quality, facilities, syllabus contentetc. and uses the same for applying corrective measures and formationof new strategies. External Review also is in operation when the LEC’sappointed by the University visit the college ahead of the introductionof a new subject or a course. The standard and statutory externalreview, however, is done by NAAC whose suggestions andrecommendations are faithfully complied with.

6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned withthe requirements of the relevant external quality assuranceagencies/regulatory authorities?Whenever there are suggestions for improvement or changes by theexternal agencies like SM, or the University, or NAAC, the institutegears up for their implementation.The mechanism for the implementation of the same is as under:

1. All suggestions from external quality assurance agencies areofficially received by Principal who shares them with the staffand management.

----------------------------------- { 165 } -----------------------------------


2. All inputs are classified and handed over to IQAC and therelated committees /HOD’s /coordinators.

3. All in-charges submit to Principal the action plans forimplementing the suggestions.

4. Principal approves/modifies the plan and submits them to SMfor approval.

5. The plans are implemented after SM’s nod.6. The ATR is submitted to the concerned agency after full

implementation of the plans.6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review

the teaching learning process? Give details of its structure,methodologies of operations and outcome?The T/L process is the institute is monitored as per the followingmechanism: The college has appointed the HOD’s and academic

coordinators for continuous monitoring of the T/L activity. At the beginning of the session, all teachers are assigned their

workload, time-table, and academic diaries. All teachers are given the targets and benchmarks to be

achieved. Accordingly, all teachers are required to submit their teaching

plans and syllabus completion schedules, evaluation strategies toHOD’s/Principal through academic diaries which also containthe details of extra-curricular activities, committee work andadministrative duties assigned among other things.

All T/L and evaluation schedules are notified and shared withthe students.

The transaction and progress of syllabus is monitored by therespective HOD’s every week and by Principal every month.

The diaries are reviewed by SM at the end of the session. If any teacher is found lagging behind the schedule he is asked

to conduct extra-classes. As per the outcome of the unit tests/terminal examinations and

other evaluation systems, remedial coaching is recommendedfor weaker students; for advanced learners, special efforts aretaken to secure more merit positions.

Appropriate teaching techniques and methods are adopted byteachers for the maximum transaction of the syllabus as per therecommendations of HOD’s/Principal/Management.

After the completion of all syllabi, and before students go to theUniversity examinations, the college conducts a final terminalexamination and the performance in the examination is takeninto account before awarding internal assessment mark tostudents.

6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders?

----------------------------------- {166} -----------------------------------


The institute is accountable to SMW, the parent University, and NAACfor its quality assurance policies. The policies and strategies regardingquality assurance are communicated to various internal stakeholders byPrincipal in the IQAC and LMC meetings where there arerepresentatives of the management, local society, teachers and thestaff.With regard to parents and alumni, the quality assurance policies areshared with them in the annual P/T and Alumni Association meets. Forstudents, the policies are well-documented in the college prospectusand also notified from time to time. We also make mention of thequalitative aspects of the institute whenever we invite companies forthe campus placements. Generally thus we ensure that all thestakeholders are aware of the institute’s march towards its intendedgoals. For the external agencies like the University, the qualitativeaspects are made known through LEC’s and the annual reports. ToNAAC, which is the supreme agency for checking the institutionalhealth, we dispatch annual quality reports and SSR’s ahead of theinstitute’s accreditation.Any other relevant information regarding Governance Leadershipand Management which the college would like to include. Shiksha Mandal constructed a new building costing Rs. 1, 30, 00,000/-

and named it after our former Principal Late Dr. M.M. Shah. Shiksha Mandal, our management is assisting us timely for other

infrastructural arrangements. Shiksha Mandal appoints ad-hoc teachers at its own cost against the

existing vacancies owing to inordinate delay in getting sanctions to fill theposts from relevant authorities and thereby ensured that students did notsuffer any loss in studies.

CRITERIA VIIINNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and

facilities? Green Audit, per se, has not been done so far by us. But we take everypossible care to keep our campus pollution free. We ensure that there isminimum CO2 emission on the campus. For Carbon neutrality, thecollege periodically undertakes plantation drives. We have a richvariety of plants and trees like Teak, Neem, Banyan, Ashoka trees etc.We have also undertaken plantation drives in the city and surroundingsincluding adjoining villages through NSS and other camps. We alsoconduct cleanliness programmes and strive to make our campus andcity beautiful. We also constantly work on making our campus plasticand litter free.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campuseco-friendly?

* Energy conservation * Use of renewable energy * Water harvesting * Check dam construction * Efforts for Carbon neutrality * Plantation * Hazardous waste management * e-waste management

The various initiatives taken by the college to make the college campuseco-friendly are as follows:Energy conservation:

Even though the constant use of electricity has become an order of theday in the functioning of the college, we have devised systemswhereby it is not misused or wasted as follows:1. Restricted use of A/C’s2. Use of fans and lights in classrooms, offices and other units only

when necessary.3. Separate electricity meters are installed for proper management4. Block-wise/room-wise connections/fittings5. Separate switches for different appliances instead of common ones6. Appliances consuming less power like CLF lights are being used.7. Deputation of a peon for switching off power when there are no

students in the classrooms and library.8. CR’s are also entrusted with the responsibility of switching off

lights when not in use.9. During night, the lights are used only at strategic points.

10. The obsolete and energy consuming equipments are periodically discarded and written off.

Use of renewable energy Systems for the use of renewable energy are not available in theinstitute nor is there any pressing need for the same. (Hostel amenitiesinclude solar water heater)Water harvesting At Wardha, where there is usually the scarcity of water in the summer,there is a general culture of water conservation. At the college level,we ensure water conservation through the following efforts: Recycling of used water for plants and trees on the campus Use of bore well water for watering the plants and washrooms; the

municipal corporation water for drinking purpose only. We do not have any rain-harvesting project as such on the campus

but we have dug small canals to channelize the rainwater to all thetrees on the campus

Further, we have opted for paver blocks instead of concretizingthe surface at the parking lot to allow the seepage of water into thesoil.

----------------------------------- { 169 } -----------------------------------


Our NSS/NCC units have also done some water harvesting workin the adjoining villages.

Check dam construction

Our NSS /NCC units have built barrages in the adjoining villages.Efforts for Carbon neutrality We do not allow in our premises the vehicles with high emission. Weuse generator sparingly and only when it is absolutely essential torestrict carbon emission. There, however, are enough trees to neutralizeany Carbon effect.Plantation The college is quite conscious of the importance of trees andundertakes from time to time the plantation drives in the premises somuch so that there is hardly any place left where new plantation cantake place. Some of the plants are also medicinal in nature. We alsohave some fruit bearing trees which attract a lot of birds to the campus.We are indeed in a position to say that ours is an eco-friendly campus.Not only that we have also done plantations at other sites in the townand adjoining villages through our NSS/NCC units. Hazardous waste management We do not have any hazardous waste to speak of. It is mainly the usedstationery. In case of soiled papers which are of no use to anybody andare not even good enough for recycling, we burn them. The oldnewspapers are sold to the scrap dealers for recycling and the revenueis shown as miscellaneous receipts.E-waste management The old and obsolete electronic products like computers, old electricaland electronic items are sold as scrap after destocking.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four yearswhich have created a positive impact on the functioning of thecollege.

12. Setting-up of Commerce Club and starting Income TaxConsultancy

7.3 Best Practices 7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format

which have contributed to the achievement of the InstitutionalObjectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of thecore activities of the college.

The institution has introduced quite a few best practices for theachievement of the college objectives and quality enhancement. Thefollowing, however, could be cited as the two best practices:

1. Introduction of Value-addition Programmes2. Commerce Lab

The practices are described as follows:

A. VALUE-ADDITION PROGRAMMES

1. Title of the Practice: “Introduction of Value-addition Programmes”2. Goal:

To offer horizontal mobility to students and to make themproficient in the skills required for better employability.

Since we are affiliated to a university, we can only introduce onlythose programmes which are approved and conducted by the universityabiding by the rules and regulations that go with the courses. As thereis no provision of twinning programmes or the dual degree system inthe university, our students can pursue only one programme at a time.Similarly, no syllabus in itself can satisfy all the academic needs ofstudents who are constantly looking for some additional andcomplementary inputs.

Nowadays, the needs of commerce students are growing day by day

----------------------------------- { 171 } -----------------------------------


and more and more avenues are becoming available to them for notonly pursuing higher studies but also getting jobs in different sectorsprovided they have necessary extra qualifications in addition to theirbasic degrees. It is for these reasons, some complementary and value-addition courses need to be offered to students to give them that extraedge which would enable them to compete with the best in their chosenareas.3. The Context: Commerce students generally want to pursue CA course for which theyfirst need to clear CA-CPT examination which qualifies them for thehigher level of IPCC; after they successfully clear both IPCC groupsthey become eligible for CA final. Since there was no coaching facilityat Wardha, and Nagpur, where these facilities are available and that tooat a very high cost, being at some distance, our students, mostly frompoor sections, were indeed deprived of any guidance for CA-CPTpreparations. It was for this reason, we decided to start CA-CPTguidance programme at a very reasonable fees.

Equally important has been the demand for computer training. Sincemost Commerce courses have now been integrated with ICT one wayor the other, we decided to make all students computer literate andalso, to further their careers, designed a certificate course in Tallywhich helps all aspiring accountants. Another area where our studentsneed some value addition is English Communication skills. To satisfythis need we decided to introduce English Speaking classes with thehelp of own faculty.Further, and in order to be more job-worthy, students also need goodtraining for cracking the competitive examinations like banks, staffselection, MPSC, Police recruitment etc. We thus decided to offerpreparatory programmes for the above examinations. With these goalsin view, and in adherence of SMW’s objective of providing qualityeducation at an affordable cost, the institute decided to offer qualityinputs to our students at minimal fees through the guidanceprogrammes for CA-CPT, Competitive Examinations, PoliceRecruitment, and also the certificate courses in English Speaking andTally.4. The Practice: Keeping in view the most urgent needs and also the considerations offunds, infrastructure, availability of learning resources, medium ofinstruction, and requirements of job market, the faculty membersdesigned the syllabi for different courses, and now all the valueaddition programmes are in implementation as planned. Since nogrants are available for such kind of courses, the institute collectsminimum fees from students purely for administrative expenses andalso for paying to guest faculty. Renowned CA’s, noted professional and industrialists/entrepreneurs inthe town are invited as Guest Faculty. The courses are conductedwithin the college premises after the regular classes are over. Thereby

----------------------------------- {172} -----------------------------------


we are ensuring the maximum use of the college infrastructure andresources for the benefit of the student community. The following arethe implementation schemes for various courses:1. CA-CPT Guidance

(a) Duration: 3-4 months(b) Eligibility: HSC(c) Batch size: 15-20(d) Fees: affordable and varies from batch to batch as per the

management decision(e) Faculty: In-house and Guest Faculty(f) Syllabus: Accountancy, Mathematics and Statistics, Economics,

(d) Examinations: Banks, SSC, MPSC, Police Recruitment(d) Fees: nominal and affordable(e) Faculty: In-house and Guest Faculty(f) Syllabus: Logic and Reasoning, Quantitative Skills, GK,

English etc.(g) Teaching Methodology: Lectures, Interactive, GD & Interview

techniques(h) Evaluation: Internal tests and orals before final examinations(g) Administration: Through an appointment of a coordinator from

among the faculty5. Evidence of Success:

All the value-addition programmes have received good response fromstudents and are being run quite successfully. Since the primaryobjectives of the programmes are to offer students somecomplementary value-addition to their regular courses, no particularbenchmarks were set except raising the standard of their studentship interms of enhancement of skills and employability. For CA-CPT,however, we are aiming at a success rate of minimum 50%. Since theinception of these courses, we have achieved the following results forvarious courses:

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The institute did not face any problems in the implementation of any ofthe programmes. As the programmes have been introduced as per thefeedback and requirements of students, we get good response fromstudents. Moreover, we are charging minimal fees in comparison withthe fees charged by the outside agencies resulting into good enrolment.Since we have a very resourceful faculty, designing and execution ofthe various syllabi did not meet any difficulty. Further, we have theback-up of guest faculty from our alumni and the localindustry/society. Owing to the constant support by our parentorganization SMW, we have never faced any problems in terms offunds for infrastructure. Whatever resources are required for theimplementation of programmes are always made available by ourcompetent management.

7. Notes:We are planning to add some more courses to the existing one in the

----------------------------------- {174} -----------------------------------


XII UGC Plan.

B. COMMERCE LAB1. Title of the Practice :

“Commerce Lab”2. Goal :

“To make students aware of the basic concepts related to thesyllabi of Commerce and Economics and train them in theirapplication to the real life situations.”

The Commerce and Economics syllabi, as all students realize, arereplete with numerous concepts that need to be clearly understood inorder to have full comprehension of the syllabi in totality. Similarly, ofall the courses, the Commerce courses are closer to the common peoplein view of their wider applicability. Whether it is the Union or StateBudget, Banking or Insurance, Marketing or Management, Taxation orInvestments, each area is linked to the common man one way or theother.In view of the above, our faculty and management decided that ourstudents must be absolutely thorough in all Commerce concepts so thatthey could not only do well in their examinations but also act ascounselors to the society in dealing with day to day Commerce relatedsituations.3. The Context:All Commerce students have to cope up with various concepts anddefinitions on daily basis in the course of their studies. And eventhough, the teachers offer all the resources at their disposal to students,there are still a number of areas which need practical training. In somecase, teachers and students can take recourse to the field visits andindustrial tours for real exposure to the practical side of the syllabi. Butit is not possible to take students outside every time and therefore thestudents need to be given the simulated conditions to understand theissues in question. This can be best done in a specialized Commerce Laboratory whichwould have models, charts, graphs and seminal study material relatedto the basic commerce concepts. At a place like Wardha, studentsharbor very small ambitions and, for many, degrees are just the meansto get jobs whereas we want students to be both the recipients anddisseminators of knowledge.Secondly, at a place like Wardha, there is little awareness about payingtaxes or investments. As a responsible Commerce College in theregion, therefore, we decided to create this awareness in theneighborhood through free consultancy by our own teachers andstudents. It was with these objectives in mind that the Commerce Labwas conceived.4. The Practice

We have created a special space for the Commerce Lab in Room no. 16.

----------------------------------- { 175 } -----------------------------------


The Lab contains the following:(a) Charts and Graphs

The commerce lab has been displaying the charts and graphs providingthe knowledge of the following subjects:

1. Accounting, Statistics and Taxation;2. Marketing environment;3. Business Management;4. Economics and Social Environment;5. Computer Knowledge.

(b) Proformas/ Specimen copiesTo ensure and create awareness among the students of commercevarious formats of the following departments are available in the lab:

1. Income Tax 2. Banking 3. Insurance4. Railways5. Postal Services

(c) Study Material/CD’s/Proformas/Rules/Laws

The following seminal study material is available in the lab:

1. Selected home assignments of the students2. Questionnaires of Research Works3. Selected dissertations of M.Phil.4. Selected project works of M.B.A. and B.Com.5. Selected Journals and Magazines of Commerce and

Management.6. CD’s on Motivation, Environment, Personality Development.

Graphs and models are prepared by students under the guidance offaculty members. The Lab is open throughout the day and has an openaccess policy. The regular Lab Activity includes:

1. Discussion on Union and State budgets2. Discussion on current developments in the world of Commerce

and Industry3. Guest lectures and GD’s on select topics related to the syllabi4. Free Consultancy for filing of Income Tax Returns5. Free Consultancy on Investments and Stock Markets6. Academic staff club activity

The lab has all the Proformas of returns and people are informed aboutall the entries in them. Training about on-line submission too isimparted. Another novel activity is imparting of knowledge aboutStock Markets and managing the portfolios.

5 . Evidence of Success :

The Commerce Lab is becoming increasingly popular among studentsand the following models/charts have been contributed by the students:

1. Proformas of Balance Sheet and P&L Account2. Statistical Formulae
