SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

Dombivli Shikshan Prasarak Mandal’s K. V. Pendharkar College aspires to be

a model institution of higher education, shaping the overall personality of the

students, creating a healthy teaching learning atmosphere to make students

morally conscious, socially responsible human beings and to enhance their

employability. In order to put this vision into practice, the institution routinely

undertakes innovative and student-centric activities.

Apart from the academic practices enlisted in the SSR till June 2015, a number

of new initiatives were undertaken during the academic year 2015-16 and the

first semester of 2016-17 too. In deference to the directives issued by the

National Assessment and Accreditation Council, we hereby put on record these

activities in this supplementary report. The updated report of these additional

activities is as follows:

Group Mentoring System: On the basis of the observations of the students’

problems, the management arrived at a decision to introduce a ‘Group

Mentoring System’ in the college. Under this system each teacher was

appointed as a Mentor for around thirty students. It was decided that the mentor

would be held responsible for the academic, financial and psychological

problems of his / her protégés. This system facilitated the communication and

interaction between the teachers and the students. It eventually turned

instrumental in generating effective learning environment. The planning for this

system was completed during the year 2015-16 and the mentoring system was

implemented from the year 2016-17.

Mumbai has introduced major changes in the evaluation pattern for many

subjects of Arts, Science and Commerce faculties at first year level from the

Rotaract Club of K. V Pendharkar College, the asset of the institution,

organized 42 social activities during the academic year 2015-16

motivating many students to contribute towards social causes.

The club decided to adopt one village and help them by fulfilling their

basic needs and improve their way of living.

Governance, Leadership and Management

Policy towards expansion of Education Environment:

A proposal to start Tally Training Programme and Microsoft Certification

Programme was given immediate consideration and these programmes were

started in the beginning of the academic year 2016-17. A Coaching Centre

for Competitive Exams and Professional Exams was opened in July 2015.

Such initiatives reflect the efforts taken by the management to enhance the

academic environment of the institution and to increase the employability

of the students.

Policy towards Staff :

Along with academic audit the IQAC has started conducting

administrative audit from the year 2015-16. The administrative staff in

aided and unaided sections was asked to maintain the files for the last

five years according to duties allotted to them and display their

portfolio at their sitting place.

Management always encourages teachers to be technosavy so from the

last year they are asked to submit soft copies of question papers to the

examination committee and the committee carries out printing work of

question papers in the college itself. This strategy is used for bringing

qualitative change in the examination system.


Policy towards Alumni:

Since it has been observed that the alumni have an affinity about their alma

mater, they are given preference in the recruitment whenever possible.

Policy regarding the use of Mobile phones by the Students:

During the parents’ meetings conducted by various departments an appeal

was made to ban the use of mobile phones by students in the campus. Parents

supported this policy of the institution wholeheartedly and suggested heavy

fine for those who violate this rule.

Policy towards Environmental Awarness:

The college has continued the practice of tree plantation with the help

of NSS and NCC students to keep the campus green.

The IQAC co-ordinator prefers to get the data from heads of different

criteria and teachers through e-mail.

functioning of the institution.

of eminent singers Shri. Shankar Mahajan.

To enhance employability of students, Certificate Course in Microsoft

and Tally was introduced by the management.

Challenges:

Frequent changes in the internal assessment weightage by the university.
