7.5 Whether environmental audit was conducted? Yes No

7.6 Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT Analysis)

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT analysis being a tool for improvement through self study was conducted.

Analysis of data and facts on different components of academic and administrative aspects were

carried out. The process was conducted by IQAC with participation of members form faculties,

and non-teaching staff. External agency was not involved.

SWOT – SUMMARY

Major conclusions of SWOT study have been described below.

Strengths: The predominance of women students especially from backward communities who

are well-disciplined and studious is a great boon to the institution. They seem to excel boys in

academic performance, extra-curricular and co-curricular activities and discipline in general.

However this does not mean that male student clan is too bad in their performance. The SWOT

analysis team arrived at this conclusion with respect to one of the major vision and mission

statement of the College, i.e empowerment and education of women. More than 65% of the total

student count is women with high percentage of marks at input and output ends. They never

involve directly or indirectly in any indiscipline issues however simple or complex they may be.

They always follow a democratic and systematic way of presenting their grievances before the

authorities. Girls always take a lead role in social contact programmes shaking off the hesitation

inherent in rural girls. The result analysis data and extra-curricular performance profile show a

very positive bias to women.

Weaknesses:

Insufficiency of library resources and level of automation needs to be addressed.

There are hardly 32000 entries with partial automation. Taking into consideration the diversity

and number of courses offered by the institution, the present resources are to be enhanced

significantly with total automation. Stacking facilities and library staff are also required for


3 3

efficiently handling the existing problems. The UGC and other Government funds allotted for

library improvement are not always sufficient to meet the needs.

Opportunities:

Annexure (ii)

Analysis of the feedback from Stakeholders

Manual feedback on Curriculum, Infrastructure, Student Support and Teaching& Learning are

collected from students, parents, alumni and teachers. The collected feedbacks are analyzed

and appropriate actions are taken after discussions in departments, staff council, IQAC and

management.

I. Students: Separate feedback on curriculum (for even and odd semesters separately)

is taken. In all types of feedbacks, students are allowed to maintain anonymity in

responses. The format is supplied to and recollected from the students by the head of

the institution directly. Views, opinions and assessment made by the students are

carefully processed and necessary follow-up is made by the

Department/Faculty/Heads in terms of teaching methodology, rapport, and support.

The head of the institution has made it mandatory for all teachers to obtain the

feedback made by students on them and to take necessary corrective action.

Departmental meetings are conducted after collecting completed feedback forms

from students for the improvement of infrastructural facilities, library matters and

other academic activities.

II. Alumni: Meetings of General and departmental Alumni Associations are organised

in the college and share their views and opinions on all matters. This also provides an

opportunity for the present teachers to bridge the gap between the old and the new. It

has been indicated from Alumni feedback that more field trainings are needed in

Aquaculture as many of the alumni employed in seafood and farming sector felt such

a requirement.

III. Parents: Questionnaire for parent feedback is prepared in Malayalam to facilitate

response marking from them. Conduct of Class-wise PTA at least once in one

semester for each class is a micro level arrangement to obtain direct feedback from

parents. In addition to this frequent telephonic discussions are made in necessary

cases among class tutors and/or Head of Departments and guardians/parents.

Executive Committee of PTA makes a minimum of six sittings per calendar year in

which the representatives of parents’ wing can express any matter related to

administrative, academic or infrastructural areas. Such comments if any are registered

in minutes to facilitate tackling of it at the earliest.

IV. Teachers: Peer feedback among teachers and student feedback on teachers taken. The

feedback on teachers is taken directly from students by the Principal and IQAC. Peer

feedback is taken at department level and discussed in department meetings. Teacher

feedback by students are analysed in IQAC meetings and necessary remedial measures are

suggested wherever required.

Best Practices of the Institution

• Publication of ‘Ormakkay’ – the alumni directory every year.


Best Practice 1

• Publication of ‘Ormakkay’ (for memories) – the alumni directory every year.

Introduction:

Alumni of an educational institution form an invaluable asset helping in the all round

performance and growth of their alma mater. MES Asmabi college is endowed with a vibrant

alumni association. It is a true pillar supporting the college in every segment of its existence and

prosperity.

Goal:

To have a strong database and a platform for sharing the memories. The directory records the

literary skills, activities and opinions.

The Context:

The College having established in 1968 owns a good number of alumni scattered world over.

The need of an official publication acting as a record of alumni which grows year after year was

strongly felt. So the Executive Committee way back in 2005 has decided to publish alumni

directory and was implemented in the same year. The association has since been publishing it

every year, this year’s directory (‘Ormakkay’) being the 12th issue.

The Practice:

A task team including the executive committee members collect data from outgoing batch and

retiring staff including their photographs and address. Literary entries are also invited from

alumni. All contact details are computerised and updated. An editorial board constituted from

alumni themselves edits and or verifies the contents and is released towards the end of the next

academic year. The copies are distributed to all students who complete their programme of study

every year and other alumni members and staff.

Evidence of Success:

The directory is conceived as the master file of alumni data, activities and talents. It is

considered as a reliable document for many official purposes. Its release occurs as a routine but

structured practice since its inception.

Problems encountered and Resources required:

Financial constraints occasionally delay its publication and also data collection rarely takes more

time. However life membership and generous contribution from alumni always keep it going as

a creditable practice.


3 8

Best Practice 2


Introduction:

Sharing the fortunes of life’s bounty is seldom practiced by human beings. A helping mindset is perhaps

the highest of human values. People throw away a lot of food as rubbish forgetting the millions who are

badly in need of at least a single meal per day to extinguish their hunger.

The Context:

National Service Scheme has two units functioning in the college (Unit No. 53 and 95) accommodating

200 volunteers. The noble idea of providing noon meal at least once in a month to starving people

originated in the minds of young and kind volunteers.

The Practice:

NSS volunteers created a platform SIGNATURE. This platform serves to address educational, social,

environmental and other concerns. As a first initiative volunteers gave packed lunch to Brothers

charitable society, N Paravur, a Municpal town 26 KM away from the college. The NSS Units have

identified this institution as the beneficiary because of the financial constraints of the charitable society

who is providing food to the inmates free of cost. Volunteers procured hygienically prepared and packed

food from reliable caterers (rice and curries) and transported them in their own vehicles. This is done in

the second week of every month.

Evidence of Success:

Widespread appreciation and blessings are received by the young volunteers. The society members and

inmates keep a strong rapport and love with the volunteers and NSS Programme Officers.

Problems encountered and Resources required:

Funds for the programme is often a constraint, though the programme is not discontinued due to this

problem. Fund is generated through voluntary contribution from staff and students. Moreover some of the

departments sponsor the total amount required for the programme.
