CRITERION VII- INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? The institute has not conducted any official green audit by an external agency. Since inception

importance is given for development of eco-friendly atmosphere in the campus by the management.

Thus the institute has adopted various measures to maintain the greeneries of the campus and it has

been observed that it creates a positive impact on the beholder and helps in developing an

environment friendly attitude in one and all.

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

Energy conservation: a) All floors are checked if lights and fans are unnecessarily on, on daily basis.

b) Internal workshops are conducted on energy conservation for general awareness on energy

conservation and sustainability.

c) A sticker promoting an encouraging switching of lights and fans is put up at every level to save

power.

Use of renewable energy:

a) Electricity generation from garbage is planned

b) Planning for solar energy

Water harvesting: In progress check dam construction: Department of civil engineering has

initiated a couple of projects to handle the rain water harvesting from roof and on the surface and

other on waste water management.

Efforts for carbon neutrality: Very fortunately, institute campus is surrounded by agricultural

farms and hence naturally has a large green coverage which acts as a natural carbon sink. The

institute at its own level has taken up certain preventive measures to check the emission of carbon

dioxide; especially from the diesel engine generator set. All the vehicles are regularly checked for

pollution control to restrict carbon emission and other hazardous wastages. The dead leaves and

waste paper are not burnt in the campus and instead they are put into compost pits. The campus is

totally plastic free. The dustbins are kept at every possible place to collect the plastic and other

garbage.

Plantation: The institute has taken an initiative to make the campus green with a variety of trees and

plants. The trees are planted and the institute organizes programs through NSS activities every year

to inculcate this tradition amongst the students. The plantation programs are undertaken usually in

the month of august every year.

e-waste management: The institute has emphasis on paperless office to save carbon emission in

printers. The non-working computer spare parts and other non-working equipments are safely

disposed outside. Buy back policy is available. The cartridge of laser printers is refilled outside the

institute campus. Department of electronics and telecommunication engineering conduct the

awareness programs regarding e-waste management.

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 Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality

improvement of the core activities of the college.

Two best practices of the institute which have contributed to the achievement of the institute

objectives and contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities of the institute are:

a) Dattak Yojana

b) Free career counseling program.

Practice 1: a) Title of the Practice: Dattak Yojana

b) Goal: The objectives of the practice followed by the institute are:

1. To provide technical education to students who are not able to afford the fees for professional

education

2. To take social responsibility for spreading the education to rural areas.

c) The Context: Particular contextual features or challenging issues that have addressed in designing

and implementing the practice particular contextual features or challenging issues that have

addressed in designing and implementing the practice are described below. Since last 27 years the

Samarth educational trust is working for the welfare of society by providing quality education. On

the occasion of 25 years completion the trust has decided to take social responsibility by providing

education free of cost to the students who are not able to afford the fees. For last three years institute

has adopting the students on the basis of Dattak Yojana and wave off their tuition fees. This is

helping to encourage the students towards technical education.

d) The Practice: The practice and its implementation that may be unique in the higher education, and

constraints or limitations of them are described here. To take the admission through Dattak Yojna

students must follow all the rules & regulation of DTE admission process. Also the students have to

produce an evidence of financial status of parent. While applying for Dattk Yojana the student has to

submit following form along with all documents. The forms are as follow :

f) Problems Encountered and Resources Required: There are some indentified problems

encountered and resources provided to implement the practice. These are:

1. Planning for additional financial requirements

2. Selection criteria

3. Additional infrastructure planning

Practice 2: a) Title of the Practice: Free career counseling program.

b) Goal: Students from rural area are not having enough knowledge about the engineering programs

and entrance examinations. They are unaware of various avenues and opportunities in engineering.

With this social view in mind, the institute is taking an initiative to approach the students from rural

areas at their schools/colleges and explain them the very importance of continuing the education and








139

career opportunities in engineering. The institute also conducts the awareness program about the

entrance examinations for 12th standard students from these rural colleges. The institute is organizing

the free of cost coaching/training program of JEE Main / MH-CET every year with free lodging and

boarding for the economical weaker section of the society. Providing the aim of the practice

followed by the institute. Brief the underlying principles or concepts in about 100 words. The aim of

the practice assessment of program outcome followed by the institute is to create a platform to

increase in student’s performance and placement, motivation for higher studies to improve global

economy and faculty productivity.

c) The Context The growing world has opened the doors of plenty of opportunities for the engineers. According to

AICTE norms, the permission has given to open the engineering institutes in order to spread the

technical education at each and every corner of the country. Unfortunately the flow of the students

towards engineering education is not at sufficient level. Hence it is the responsibility of the

engineering institutes to reach to the society and spread the message so as to attract more and more

students towards engineering institutes. This is a great challenge today and our institute is taking this

as an opportunity to serve the society. To make all the 12th standard students eligible for engineering

and technology, additional training for common entrance test has provided free of cost.

d) The Practice: To create awareness amongst the rural students about national level competitive

examinations like JEE Main/MH-CET.

e) Evidence of Success : As a result of the tireless efforts by the institute, we received a tremendous response from students of

rural areas for filling up the application forms of JEE Main/MH-CET 2016 entrance examinations at

our institute. The institute provided them transportation and refreshment free of cost while filling the

application forms. The institute also conducted the JEE Main/ MH-CET 2016 online examination to

facilitate more than 400 students from nearby areas for four days- (9, 11, 12, 19 April 2016).

Consequently the admissions in the year 2015-16 were found improved compared to nearby

institutes.
