The plan of action chalked out by the IQAC in the beginning of the year towards quality

enhancement and the outcome achieved by the end of the year *

It has provided the guidelines to the college on NAAC Re-accreditation process due in

2017.

It apprised the new permanent Principal, Prof. Dr. S.P.Shahi, about the progress of this

college in the last 5 years and also identified areas of improvement which had to be

prioritized for the re-accreditation process.

Most of the senior teachers who participated in the previous NAAC accreditation events

have superannuated, and have been replaced by younger teachers through transfers and

postings. For the first time, IQAC members held weekly meetings and a workshop for the

young faculty members and office staff, thereby making the entire initiative an inclusive

one. Consequently, the participation and enthusiasm of teachers, staff & students to

showcase the activities of this college has been exemplary.

This College persisted in its role as the front-runner in research activities amongst all state

universities. Under constant encouragement of the IQAC, further acquisition of new, innovative

research awards showcased the constant march of this college towards higher qualitative goals in

research and extension activities. Two projects with the highest capital outlay till date were awarded

to Department of EWM by DST, Govt. of India. The first project DST-WTI funded “Innowater” Project,

and the second project, Indo-UK Bilateral DST-UKIERI project on “Nature and nurture in arsenic

toxicity of Bihar, India” were awarded in 2016. Under these 2 projects, 5 JRFs and 1 project fellow

from local postgraduates have been hired as per DST protocol, thereby giving them the opportunity to

work on international platform. These projects have increased the research visibility and network of

A.N.College, so much so that recently this institution has been invited by one of its renowned UK

partner, University of Manchester, to participate in the multinational GCRF Research Infrastructure

Hub Proposal preparation.

At the national level, increasing collaborations and student internships have occurred with the IITs,

UGC-DAE, Indore , RR-CAT, Indore, RMRI, Patna, MCSRC, Patna and other institutions of national

repute.

Tree plantation drive was undertaken on 29 july 2016

On 29 July 2019 NSS Induction Day Ceremony was held.

“Swacchata Abhiyan” was conducted in the college on 4 October 2016

On 28-20 November 2016, an eye camp was held for staff, students and neighbouring

communities.

Blood donation camp was held on 6 December 2016

Youth Day Vivekanand Jayanti was celebrated in 12 January 2017

In keeping with total prohibition policy of the State of Bihar, a human chain for “No

Liquor” was formed by NSS, NCC and other students of this college.

In all the above events, NCC cadets and other students also participated.

Institutional Social Responsibility:

The Department of EWM, with funding from Prof. Arup Sengupta, LeHigh University,

Pennsylvania, USA, has installed a second arsenic filtration unit fabricated at LeHigh University,

in village Tilak Rai ka Hata in Buxar District. This village has been reporting a high number of

arsenic poisoning patients in Mahavir Cancer Hospital, Patna, which is a research partnering

institution of our college. Apart from validating this latest filtration technology, the filter is

providing arsenic free drinking and cooking water to about 45 families in the village. The unique

aspect is the massive social support received by the concerned faculty and students working in

that village by the village community. Now the neighbouring arsenic affected villagers have

requested the research team to set up such filtration units in their villages too, for which they will

extend all facilities like food, accommodation and even participation in maintenance and

monitoring of the filter unit.

The previously installed Maner filter unit, with community participation, is functioning well and

has served to increase rural awareness about clean drinking water.

infrastructural requirements. Principal’s office obtains regular feedback on

status of different works undertaken. Principles of work allocation, delegation of

duties , accountability and humane approach are some of the qualities that have

sustained HR management in this college.

Permanent recruitment of Faculty and staff are made as per UGC guidelines by specific

recruitment body of the state, and manpower allocation then made to the different

Universities . The University then fills up vacancies as reported from its constituent

units and university departments.

Hence this college is dependent on the University for all recruitments, and makes only

contractual appointments’ for self-financing vocational courses departments.

In early 2016, Dept. of EWM had submitted to DST a project under the DST-WTI call,

2016, which was accepted and awarded to this dept in September 2016. This project in

built up on industrial collaboration from Germany. It involves , among other objectives,

validating a portable rapid drinking water testing kit, based upon green technology,

under Indian rural conditions.

Department of the local Mahavir Cancer Sansthan and Research Centre (MCSRC) is the

industrial project partner of A.N.College under health sector.

From 2016, online sale of admission forms were initiated. Admission process in UG

conventional courses are centrally executed, while at PG level departments

undertake the admission procedure. In vocational courses, applications are invited

through newspaper advertisements and college website, followed by written tests

and interview of short-listed candidates.

6.13 Development programmes for support staff

6.14 Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly

This constituent College adheres to the rules and regulations of Magadh University. However,

some degree of academic autonomy exists in the self-financing vocational courses

departments, where new, innovative teaching and research activities have been initiated.

Members of Alumni Association maintain contact with the Secretary Dr. Sanjay K. Singh.

Following their visits to their alma mater, they communicate to Dr. Singh the strengths and

weaknesses, which is noted in the observations and communicated to the IQAC for further

action. Greening and cleaning of the campus, strengthening of the placement cell are some

of the suggestions that were accepted by the college authorities.

Since this is a college with large student intake in its different departments, selected

departments hold PTA every year. Parents , while appreciating the efforts of the institution to

usher in all-round development, stress on the need to make their wards “job-ready”. Some of

the Parents attend Sports events, visit campus as morning walkers, and keep themselves

informed about college activities. Most of the parents maintaining regular communication with

the college, have their daughters admitted here, and are satisfied with the teaching, and extra-

curricular activities of the college. Regarding low attendance of a section of students, it was

suggested that the parents be periodically informed about their wards’ attendance in case of

shortfall.

Less use of paper through gradual digitization of office work, maintenance of the

numerous gardens and playing fields,plantation acitivities, Swachchta Abhiyan are some

of the eco-friendly activities undertaken by this college.

7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact on the

functioning of the institution. Give details.

7.2 Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at the

beginning of the year

This college has a good balance between departments excelling in teaching, and

departments contributing to research apart from teaching activities. The linking factor is the

integration of modern teaching and learning tools in its classrooms (Smart classes,

automated library, access to e-journals, new software, sharing of resources and expertise,

etc.).

This year, for the first time, a full Postgraduate course on Water Governance was taught by

Visiting Faculty from this college, under the Linnaeus-Palme Teacher Award of the Govt. of

Sweden; another teacher is serving as Invited Faculty for one year in Mauritius . Student

exchange programme was also initiated under Linnaeus –Palme initiative. Research vibrancy

increased with the hiring of 6 new JRFs and Project Fellow under the two DST projects

awarded to A.N.College in year 2016-17.

7.3 Two Best Practices of the Institution:

A. Establishment of Academia-Society Interface through Innovation in Science and

through social integration of Technology

a) Organic polymers have deleterious effect on environment and they degrade the

level of the eco-system. These polymers are a significant challenge on water

pollution and soil pollution because they are often disposed in landfills where

they will remain for centuries into future slowly leaking toxins into soils as the

time passes.

b) Taking into cognizance of the above fact, the Department of Physics has utilized

the natural polymers and flavonoids present in the plants for the synthesis of

nanomaterial by using GREEN Synthesis Protocol.

c) A student of the Department of Chemistry designed the periodic table in an

innovative way which was strongly appreciated and accepted by Kits division

of NCERT for making toys.

d) The relevance of scientific researches is gauzed by their contributions to the

societal progress and amelioration. Following the essence of the Vision and

Mission statement, the college has focused its R & D programmes towards the

benefit of the society. An international project entitled “Project INNOWATER

– Evolvement of Novel and Rapid Monitoring sensors in rural settings of

Bihar” is novel attempts in this direction. The mitigation strategies pertaining to

Arsenic and Fluoride contaminations have been widely acclaimed nationally

and internationally. The college has installed an Arsenic filtration unit to be

operated through solar energy in Buxar district in February 2017. The recently

completed DST-NIAS sponsored project on “Community based technological

solution for providing safe drinking water to Arsenic exposed population in

Ganga-Meghna-Bramhputra Delta” in the Dept. of Environment and Water

Management, has created a model in which sustainable arsenic mitigation is

obtained through green technology and community participation. As water

quality issues are researched upon through field work, the concerned village

communities are informed and awareness generated. Their queries for alternate

clean sources of water are met through installation of water filtration units,

funded by collaborating universities and maintained and monitored by A.N.

College, Patna. The villagers have developed a proactive relationship with A.N.

College, Patna. They are now participating in monitoring, maintenance work of

the filter units. Such developments have aided in the formulation of a

sustainable clean water model with community participation.

B. Inculcating social responsibilities amongst students through college activities

As our students largely hail from middle class and BPL families of the state, Co- and

Extracurricular activities provide them a direction in life on the basis of classroom

teaching and ground experiences. The social issues addressed by the college under the

umbrella of NSS activities include Environmental issues in our society, Drug abuse,

Stress Management, Malnutrition and Gender inequality, Sex crime and role of youth in

its prevention and Sanitation. A survey and monitoring programme of pension

distribution was assigned to the college by the Dept. of Social Welfare, Govt. of Bihar.

Awareness workshops were organized by the college on AIDS, Physical disability and

Swachchata Abhiyan.
