154 | P a g e
10. Concept of “Digidhan” is encouraged at institution to promote online transactions.
7.3. BEST PRACTICES
7.3.1. Give details of any two best practices that have contributed to better academic and administrative functioning of the institution.
BEST PRACTICE - 1
1. Title: Daily Advanced Training Activities (DATA) for content beyond syllabus & Professional development
2. Objective of the practice: - The designated goals are i) To enrich the content of syllabus with updates and advances in the
field.
ii) To impart skill training on regular basis
iii) To organize systematic inputs so that the student is able to make a choice for his own career
Underlying principles: Student admitted must be given inputs to make them industry ready professional for employment, enterprise or further studies. University syllabus has limitation that it is not always tuned to recent developments. Also the students from rural background need a strong dose of soft skills and professionalism so that they face the world and make an informed decision.
3. Context: The real challenge was to design the contents and the next challenge was to provide slots in an already studded time table. The allied challenge was to decide the pedagogy and the resource persons.
4. The Practice: The design effort starts much before the start of new semester. The gap identification effort is carried with the help of the industry experts, alumni and senior faculty members by informal and formal ways. The gap identified is communicated to BOS in university and faculty then decide on the contents to be incorporated as content beyond syllabus based on the call of experts. The internal and external resources are then identified and scheduled. The uniqueness lies in the spirit and consistency of this practice. The general good is targeted with students profile in mind. Daily half an hour ensures regularity in effort and students are forced to look at their own profiles and skills etc. Each semester student gets something extra in terms of soft skills and professional development.
155 | P a g e
Also the student diversity and slow / advance learners need to be a kept in mind for execution. Constraint is maintaining tempo of efforts throughout the course and limitation is to cater to the interest of advanced learners. Balancing in this area is a big challenge.
5. Evidence of Success : As targeted the success is measurable in numbers year after year
A) Employability improved as expressed in placement number B) The number entering into entrepreneurship have also improved
over the years
On intangibles, the team spirit, belongingness, connects between faculty and student has improved. The students have also improved on their organizing skills. They have started winning prizes in academic and cultural events. The NSS activities have been more meaningful as an extra dividend of this best practice.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: The effort like this gets late acceptability from the student community. The financial resources required are not much but the time from faculty (both planning execution) is to be counted as a major resource. Identification of external resources and their remuneration is the only financial resource required. The study material required also consumes few resources. The review of the past years effort and improvement in current years content/ resource persons is a bigger challenge. All in all the physical and mental resources put in are worth putting in and students find it useful in the end.

BEST PRACTICE - 2
1. Title: Cause For Cause (CFC) - Engaging Differently Abled Person (DAP) for reducing Carbon Footprint
2. Objective of Practice: - i. Make best use of the human recourses in the form of differently abled
person by providing him/her a dignified way to earn livelihood. ii. To sensitize young generations on usefulness of DAPs and create an
acceptability for such persons. iii. Purposeful reduction in wastages of all kinds to promote eco-friendly
systems by prompt and regular monitoring. iv. Make the institute paperless in 10 years time by reducing paper usage
by 10% every year 3. The Context: Society at large must pay attention and provide equal
opportunities to differently abled persons. Securing employment is a very difficult task for a mentally challenged person. Environmental consciousness is a big issue in Indian society. Simple steps to reduce unnecessary energy consumption must be taken by proper monitoring of resource spending like numbers of print out, watering to plant, switching off the fans and lights etc.
4. The Practice: The real challenge was to involve and include a DAP in the task which requires focus and attention at all times. Identification of such person(s) was another issue. The next challenge was to identify the tasks so as to reduce wastage that are harmful to environment. Wastages that damage environment are everywhere prioritizing them and targeting them in a systematic manner is a different challenge.
5. Evidence of Success: Since the goals were different, the success could be measured both tangibly and intangibly. One can look at reduced wastages evident in monitory electricity bills, consumption of water, consumption of printing papers etc. providing employment opportunity to DAPS was one of the goals and the college was successful in identifying one such special person. Creating positivity towards DAPS by sensitizing youth was one of the objectives.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Inclusive growth, positive approach and treatment towards DAPS are good concepts but identifying a resources and testing it is a very different tasks. Sequencing of tasks and ensuring that the DAP is actually able to do it was the biggest difficulty. A format was prepared to note down and records the work done and finally it was important to check that the effort is fruitful. The uniqueness of this effort is that it targets many things in one go. It takes care about divyangs, sensitizing youth, records wastages and reduces carbon foot print. The DAP is expected to monitor and enter observations in the format provided. He / she is expected to visit all floors, classroom, tabs, garden
157 | P a g e
library office and solar powered lights to monitor its functionality and report wastages associated with it.
7. Notes: The main problem was the identification of suitable person for the jobs. Next was to ensure acceptability of DAP in the systems. Entrusting the tasks of monitoring and supervision on a DAP do raise few eyebrows and it takes time to create faith and acceptability among others staff. Last but not least was to test the DAP on the job. The resources required were supported by management. The monthly salary of DAP, Design of forms & formats are sponsored by management.
