Self-Study Report Criterion VI : Governance, Leadership & Management


6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and

implementation of its quality policy and plans?

Planning, designing, implementation of the quality policy is carried out by the

Institute as follows:

Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) consisting of Principal, Directors and senior most professors consider feedback from stakeholders and its

various committees and comes up with a report giving recommendations for long term strategies and plans to achieve the

vision and objectives of the Institute. SPC also makes plans and recommendations in the short term for the current year and every year before commencement of the academic term covering every aspect of

running the Institute.

Reports made by SPC helps Principal in making the agenda for the Governing Council (GC) meetings - for discussion and ratification of

the plans and policies set out in the mission of the Institute. Major decisions for quality adherence, enhancement and audit of budget

allocations and organization are taken in the GC which has representation from the top management, Principal and senior professors.

Principal informs IQAC, all departments, AFCs and various

committees through Academic Council (AC) about the decisions taken in the GC which becomes a guidance to prepare the comprehensive

semester plan, CoE and their implementation.

Hence the top management represented in the GC, Principal and faculty members play a major role in the design and implementation of the institute’s

quality policy and plans.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring?

- the policy statements and action plans for fulfilment of the stated

mission

- formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the

same into the institutional strategic plan

- Interaction with stakeholders

- Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis,

research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders

- Reinforcing the culture of excellence

- Champion organizational change

Policy statements and action plans for the fulfilment of the stated mission of

the Institute are enunciated by the SPC and the Governing council.

Top management of the Institute are involved in formulating the action plans

and incorporating it into the institutional strategic plans through SPC. The top management includes the Principal, Director - Administration, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Director – Strategic Planning.



Action plans for all operations are based on feedback, analysing the needs and interactions with the stakeholders including the government, university, industry, parents, students and public. Policies and action plans are approved

and ratified by GC.

Reinforcing the culture of excellence, the top management of the Institute has

adopted outcomes based assessment and awards for excellence and recognition.

Top management monitors the implementation of the strategy and assessment

of future requirements to achieve the vision. Changes, if any, required in the strategy are ratified by GC.

Principal being the member secretary of GC, championing organizational change is facilitated. Extraordinary meetings of GC are also held to discuss achievements, new developments and championing change.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and

evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective implementation

and improvement from time to time?

Institute has developed a well defined system/procedure to monitor and

evaluate policies and plans that form the basis for effective implementation and improvement at institution and department levels.

Monitoring is done by IQAC through monthly reports and periodic internal

audits of departments; student feedback on faculty and processes; result analysis by departments; all of which are analysed and deviations from policy or procedure are noted. The concerned departments prepare action taken

reports to rectify them which are validated through review audits.

A comprehensive implementation report is submitted to the Principal for

discussion and review at the AC.

6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by the top

management?

Top management, represented by Principal, provides academic leadership to

the faculty team by active participation in the AC, CDRC, research committees and boards of all AFCs.

Institutional comprehensive CoE is planned, prepared and monitored under leadership of Principal.

The Principal, a PhD in Management, guides research scholars enrolled at

ACR and also motivates faculty members to take up research and consultancy projects, write and present research papers, organize and attend conferences /

seminars/workshops/FDPs and pursue higher studies.



6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

Faculty members are nurtured by top management to become leaders by providing opportunities for administrative responsibilities and job rotation. They are also encouraged to become members of BOS, BOE and advisory

boards of other institutions.

The process of grooming leadership at various levels is as follows:

Faculty members are initially given opportunity to shoulder responsibilities as coordinators of class followed by department and AFCs. Thereafter they are made members of various committees which

make recommendations to the top management.

As faculty members gain experience in administration and leadership,

they are made program managers, program directors, directors of AFCs, Registrar and as members of SPC.

During events like workshops, cultural festivals, competitions, conferences and seminars, faculty members are entrusted to take

responsibilities as convenors, organizers and event managers.

Similar process is in place even for non-academic staff at institute.

The top management also holds leadership training workshops and encourages participation in decision making bodies like academic council and special committees formed from time to time.

Thus ample opportunities are provided to groom the staff as future leaders at various levels of the institute.

6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational

autonomy to the departments / units of the institution and work towards

decentralized governance system?

Top management of the Institute provides autonomy to the academic and non-

academic departments for the conduct of day to day affairs. All departments are made to set their objectives with responsibility and freedom to achieve the

goals within the agreed parameters of ethical and fair behaviour. In order to ensure effective implementation of decisions, a system of checks and balances, monitored by IQAC, is in place which keeps the top management informed of

any unwarranted deviations.

Philosophy of the top management, exemplified by Principal and the presence

of an efficiently functioning system ensures the delegation of authority from the top management to various departments and units with operational autonomy.

Growth of the Institute to 6 academic departments with 7 UG programs, 7 PG programs, 9 focussed centres and 4 non-academic departments, in addition to



library and sports, can be directly attributed to the decentralized style of management.

6.1.8 Does the college promote a culture of participative management? If ‘yes’,

indicate the levels of participative management.

Through participative management, each of the members actively contributes

to planning and implementation of quality initiatives and policies.

Senior faculty members, department heads and co-ordinators are members of the Academic Council where all major academic decisions are taken.

Faculty members, as members of GC, SPC and various committees participate in decision making, strategic planning and its implementation.

Each department is considered as a separate unit, all faculty members of the department participate in setting objectives and decision making of their unit.

Teaching and non-teaching staff and students, as members of various

committees are involved in decision making specific to the objective of the committee. Thus, a participative management is ensured.

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is it

developed, driven, deployed and reviewed?

Quality Policy:

AIMS IHE is committed to:

“Create intellectual capital through an exemplary value based system, which provides foundation for a life time of professional growth & personal

development. This is achieved by adopting innovative teaching, providing international exposure and encouraging continuous research and learning”.

Quality policy of the Institute is formulated based on vision of the Institute, standards followed by global institutions of higher education and the aspirations of major stake holders.

The policy is deployed and widely communicated through institute’s website,

notice boards, all publications including brochures and displays at vantage points in the institute, departments and hostels.

IQAC takes the initiative to drive and monitor the quality policy. Workshops are conducted by experienced external resources for guiding program heads

who in turn implement. The implementation is reviewed by comparing the performance of the departments with identified benchmarks based on best practices.



6.2.2 Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so, give the

aspects considered for inclusion in the plan.

SPC has made a perspective plan for development of the institute based on the

feedback from all stakeholders, needs of students, state of economy and scope for higher education. The new perspective plans are also aligned to the

national policies in higher education emphasising the need for competence and skill building, indigenous research, international recognition and entrepreneurship development.

NAAC peer team recommended that AIMS IHE should acquire autonomous status. As a first step towards this goal permanent affiliation from the

University was received. It has also been decided to strengthen its research culture by getting recognition for the research centre and commencing PhD programs. The future plan is to pursue an autonomous status vigorously within

the next 2 years, take initiative for new quality processes and establish a separate examination centre.

largely decentralized. The academic departments work under a framework of an operational autonomy. While the non academic departments work under

more supervision and control.

6.2.4 Give a broad description of the quality improvement strategies of the

institution for each of the following

Teaching & Learning

Institute adopted outcomes based assessment strategies for improvement in teaching- learning quality. Strategies to improve quality of teaching- learning

rely on result analysis at the end of each semester, feedback from students, focussed discussions with alumni, assessments by peers and senior faculty members as well as visiting/guest faculty.

Research & Development

Targets are adopted for quality improvement by each department to publish

research papers and carry out research. ACR conducts PCPs and FDPs to equip and train the faculty members for conducting research. Students are also exposed to research through assignments in the class, sponsorships for

research paper presentations at seminars and conferences singly or jointly with other students/faculty members.

Community Development

Institute takes part in community development through ACCS. Quality improvement in community development activities is brought about by

inviting experts for suggestions to the advisory board of the centre and learning from participation in activities carried out by NGO’s engaged in community service.

AFCs prepare CoE to include activities to align with the national policies in

addition to its own objectives. Students of all departments are involved in carrying out activities and spreading awareness through street plays, flash mobs etc. ACCS along with NSS has undertaken several activities such as

“Cleanliness First” to ensure cleaner surroundings in the neighbourhood.

Human Resource Management

Staff members are motivated to upgrade their knowledge and skills by sponsorships and assistance for higher education. They are empowered and given higher responsibility along with delegated authority.

As a part of the quality improvement drive of staff members workshops are

organized for training by the experts from the industry and attend training programs at established institutions.



HR manual of the institute guides the process of recruitment, employment and retention and is periodically reviewed.

Industry Interaction

Institute has a Triple-I policy in line with its vision. ACC&PR promotes regular industry interaction with the students and faculty members. Quality

and enhancement in placements reflects success of improvement in strategies adopted.

In addition to the internship programs prescribed in the curriculum of the university, the academic departments along with ACC&PR and ACSD

organize several activities for improved interaction with the industry which are integrated into the CoE.

6.2.5 How does the Head of the institution ensure that adequate information

(from feedback and personal contacts etc.) is available for the top

management and the stakeholders, to review the activities of the

institution?

Institute has a well defined process of information sharing. The activit ies of

the Institute are reviewed by the Principal periodically which enables the preparation of the annual report.

Annual report of the Institute is presented by the Principal to the top management at the GC and to all the other stakeholders through AC, PTA meetings and annual day of the institute.

6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the

staff in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional

processes?

alumni.

From the current students the feedback is taken regularly during the semesters. An exit survey gives feedback from the passing out students on how the course has benefitted them and inviting suggestions for improvement.

Discussions of the AFG are used to understand the professional life of its

alumni and get suggestions on how the programs could be improved to address the skill gaps between the curriculum and industry practices.

Institute makes use of the social media channels to communicate with the

large community of students to get feedback as well as keep them informed of the developments/changes taking place at the Institute.

Professional growth and development is an important aspect of the institute’s

HR policy. Staff members are encouraged to continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills so that the quality of teaching- learning process is enhanced and performance of non teaching staff meets the set objectives.

Based on recommendations of CDRC faculty members are sponsored to attend

FDP’s and training conducted by specialized institutions in the given field. The HR department also recommends training for non-teaching staff to

acquire required skills and facilitate job-rotation. Professional development is incentivized.

In addition faculty members are sponsored to participate in and present papers in national/international seminars and conferences. The ACR conducts

training for faculty in writing research papers and also recommends and extends support to pursue PhD.

Faculty members are also encouraged and supported to become members of

leading professional bodies like AIMA, BMA, BUTCCM, CMA, CSI, IAA, ISTE, IIPM, ISTR, OSLE, SICA etc to keep in touch with the latest

developments and practitioners in the relevant fields.



6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty

empowerment through training, retraining and motivating the employees

for the roles and responsibility they perform?

Faculty members are given training through FDPs/seminars/certificate programs. The participating faculty are empowered and given opportunity to

use the skill learnt by taking up higher responsibility in the institute.

Whenever there is a role change/additional responsibility, professors are sponsored for suitable training/re-training.

All faculty members are motivated and empowered to actively participate in decision making at various levels in the Institute.

These strategies enable faculty members to develop leadership skills and ability to take up higher responsibility in the Institute.

6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to

evaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities is

appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.

Institute has a well designed and formal four point performance appraisal

system which evaluates staff members on discharge of their duties to support students and achieve agreed goals and job objectives in multiple activities.

The four points of the appraisal system for capturing information are as

follows:

a) Self appraisal by staff member

b) Student feedback on staff

c) Appraisal by head of department

Criterion VII : Innovations & Best Practices Self-Study Report


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?

An Internal Green Audit was carried out at the Institute in the year 2014. Thereafter a green audit committee was formed and under its guidance, regular

initiatives for conducting the green audit on a yearly basis have been taken up.

On the recommendations of the green audit committee, this year an external

agency has been called to conduct an external green audit of the campus and submit its report to the committee. Proposals from organizations such as TIDE and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board have already been obtained

for this purpose.

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

friendly?

Energy Conservation:

Awareness creation activities:

Guest lecture on Climate Reality Project by Mr. Ram Kumar, an

environmentalist was done for all the students. A briefing on the implications and the after effects of climate change was given to the faculties of all the departments.

Awareness was brought among students and faculty members by putting up posters for switching off lights and fans after use in the classes and staff

rooms. The departments also made the students to put up posters near the washrooms to close the taps after use.

An awareness campaign was also done for all the industries situated on the

adjoining roads and were briefed about the methods of disposing their waste.

Implementation:

The departments ensure that all devices are switched off after use, once the session is over.

The students and faculty members took up "Cleanliness First" campaign and

cleaned up the entire campus from plastic and other non-degradable waste and disposed it off through an external agency.

The students from time to time are involved in cleaning the campus and its surrounding areas by removing the weeds and watering the plants. The

Self-Study Report Criterion VII : Innovations & Best Practices


adjoining roads to the campus are also cleaned by the students with a view to keep not only the campus clean but also its surroundings.

Institute has declared every Wednesday in a week as a "NO 2-Wheeler Day"

and every Saturday as "NO 4-Wheeler Day" thereby insisting on the faculties and students to use Public Transportation services on such days.

Institute has also set up a Compost generating unit where the entire wet waste from the college canteens is dumped and composted.

Use of renewable energy:

Awareness Creation Activities:

Students participated in an event "Best out of Waste" where they demonstrated

the generation of hydro electricity from waste and won the first prize. This event brought lot of enthusiasm amongst the students and awareness on renewable energy was created.

Implementation:

Institute has obtained proposals from “Daily Dump” and NGO, to get the wet

waste from Hostel and college canteen to be effectively disposed. There is also a proposal to set up a “gobar gas” plant in the campus in the near future.

Around 60 % of the bulbs in the campus have been changed to LED bulbs and

there is a further proposal to convert all the other remaining bulbs in the campus to LED in the near future.

The World environment day was celebrated by sending information brochures to all faculty members and students regarding the importance of climate change and the future impact of climate change on the environment.

AIMS centre of Sustainability (ACS) is coordinating with all departments to include environmental consciousness as one of the objectives of the

department and organize activities to achieve it.

Water Harvesting:


Students of the Institute participated in a caption writing competition called “Caption it Capture It" on the occasion of the World Water Day.

The “World Water Day” was observed at the Institute by active participation from the students as well as the faculty members. The students were made aware of how the earth bed is getting dried up and needs water to replenish it.

The implication of water harvesting was informed to all students and they were made to take an oath to use water resources judiciously.

Experts from the field of water management were invited to the campus and the students were made to understand facts about “Water Shed Management"



Implementation:

Rain Water Harvesting pits have been dug up in the campus where all the rain water that falls on the campus roofs is collected and seeps into the earth soil.

Efforts of Carbon Neutrality:

Awareness Creation activities:

Students with the guidance and involvement of the faculty members from various departments prepared posters and charts on carbon neutrality.

The students also displayed placards, slogans and banners at vantage points of

the campus to bring awareness about carbon neutrality

Implementation:

Generator sets are not used at Institute campus thereby helping the cause of carbon neutrality.

Plantation:


Students are regularly made aware of the need for greening the campus by

various awareness creation activities through augmentation courses on the necessity of green and sustainability conducted at the Institute.

Implementation:

Tree saplings are planted in different areas of the campus and also at various other places in the campus.

Students are involved in activities like floriculture, watering and nurturing plants.

Lawns are maintained in the campus.

Hazardous waste Management:


A plastic free campaign was initiated in the Institute by the students with posters highlighting the non degradable property of plastic waste.

A workshop on re-cycling of plastic waste was also conducted for the students.

A plastic free campaign in the industrial area of Peenya promoted by ACS was

taken up by the students to keep our neighborhood clean and free of plastic waste.

Implementation:

Collection and disposal of the hazardous waste has been outsourced to an

external agency that collects such waste from the Institute once a month.



e-Waste Management:


An awareness campaign on e-waste was held in the Institute campus through a

unique mailing campaign and e-waste generation was drastically reduced throughout the campaign.

Implementation:

The Institute has come up with an initiative to reuse one sided printed sheets thereby reducing the amount of e-waste being generated in the campus. All

departments use one-sided sheets for printing purposes.

A mechanism has been devised to collect the e-waste that gets generated in the

campus. Old/unused CD's, cables and other computer hardware waste are also collected and stored separately. An external agency collects the e-waste from the Institute once in three months and disposes it off.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Provide details of innovations introduced during the last five years which

have created a positive impact on the functioning of the College.

In order to fulfil the vision and mission of the Institute, nine AIMS Focused Centres (AFCs) have been instituted over the past five years to

give a fillip to the all-round development of the student community. Activities like student development & mentoring; research; international liaison, entrepreneurship, consultancy, community services, sustainability

corporate relations and placements have received a special thrust through these centres.

Intensive entrepreneurial mentoring is imparted to interested students by AIMS Entrepreneurial Excellence Cell (AEEC). It has produced

impressive results by the increasing number of students taking entrepreneurship. Successful alumni entrepreneurs of the Institute have been actively participating in the mentoring process. Intensive

entrepreneurship mentoring programme provides 360 degree support to potential entrepreneurs focussing on developing innovative entrepreneurs.

IBM-AIMS Business Analytics Lab has been established at the campus. This lab offers the contemporary and latest tools and software in descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics. Foundation courses are

offered to all students with a view to enhance their skills matrix and bolster their employability. Setting up of the analytics lab is in line with

the objectives and vision of the Institute to offer contemporary knowledge to its students.

Peer teaching wherein senior students of different academic backgrounds

and capabilities tutor the rest of the class has been a unique practice at the Institute. When a student dons the role of a teacher, he/she assumes greater

responsibility and approach to knowledge assimilation. Further, such



learning happens in a very informal manner which has been found to be effective.

Institute has tie ups with many overseas Universities/Institutes that

facilitates global immersion opportunities to the students. The tie up with ALMA, Colorno, Italy a leading international school for Italian cuisine

witnessed interesting outcome. A combination of Indian and Italian culinary streams resulted in novel fusion recipes created by the students

from the Department of Hospitality & Tourism. Tie up with CIEC, Cambridge, UK resulted in an augmentation program on global immersion and intercultural management in practice for students from Department of

Management.

The AIMS Centre for Community Services (ACCS) has been making

significant headway in rural/social immersion initiatives. ACCS is a hub of many ethnographic activities that infuses social sensitivity and civic responsibility in the students. Students had worked in tandem with Lions

Club, BBMP and several NGOs in rendering community services. Participation by the students is mandatory and such activities are

integrated into the calendar of events of each department.

In order to align with the national policies and meet the institutional

objectives, AIMS Centre for Sustainability (ACS) which was launched earlier this year seeks to harmonize human welfare with regeneration of the natural resources of the planet. It has collaborated with the Industry,

Government, NGOs, Green Activists and the Citizenry in doing ground level work and spreading awareness about sustainable development. ACS

has been keenly participating in Swachh Bharat and Swachh Bangalore campaigns.

With a view to make the best of technology available to the students, the

Institute has entered into technical collaborations with Apple, IBM and Oracle. These collaborations ensure that our students from the department

of IT & Mathematics as well as department of management are seamlessly integrated into the corporate world.

Innovation in vision and business foresight ensured that the Institute was selected to partner ISB, Hyderabad in training women entrepreneurs under the ISB-Goldman Sachs 10K women entrepreneur program providing

mentoring support to budding women entrepreneurs who did not have formal business education.

AEEC is imparting focused training to MBA students from rural areas on marketing of agro products. This will help the agricultural sector in

generating value added products.

AEEC has also evolved a Mentoring Clinic that blossoms talent in several

areas of real time business - finance, marketing, HR, operations et al.

The department of management studies has initiated a corporate mentoring

program where corporate functionaries undertake the mentoring process to the students. This practice is having a high impact on the students.



Inter-disciplinary knowledge sharing and transfer is being increasingly resorted to both by the faculty members and students. Faculty members

teach across disciplines besides doing research on collaborative basis. This exercise is yielding fresh insights and perspectives which are not possible if activities are done in departmental silos.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better

academic and administrative functioning of the college.

Best Practice 1:

1 Title of the Practice:

Student KSA (Knowledge, Skills and Attitude) mapping and development

2 Objectives of the practice:

a) Customized and student specific development of skills

b) Integrated development of domain knowledge, soft skills and mental attitudes of students

c) Provide employable human capital to the industry

3 The Context

What are the contextual features or challenging issues that needed

to be addressed in designing and implementing this practice (in

about 150 words)

The basic purpose of education is to generate human capital that could be utilized for national development. Students do not lack conceptual

knowledge or tools or techniques. What they lack are an ideal skill matrix and the correct mental disposition. In this context, the Institute

has adopted a refreshing approach in enhancing the employability of its students.

Firstly, skill development activities are structured into the time table

and calendar of events with special concern to the critical requirements of imparting domain knowledge to the students.

Secondly, discipline and seriousness amongst the students was instilled. As skill development activities were conducted by the

Institute and not mandated as a curriculum requirement by the University, upholding the intensity of these programs was challenging.

Thirdly, the Institute had to find the right mix of skill development

activities and the appropriate resource persons. This issue was also a challenge as the activities have to be customized to specific student needs.



4 The Practice

Describe the practice and its uniqueness in the context of Indian

higher education. What were the constraints / limitations, if any,

faced (in about 400 words)

At the time of admissions, faculty conduct personal interviews of

students and mark them under various skills – Communication, IT, QT, Current affairs, Economics, Research. Upon admission, students are administered a diagnostic test that highlights their weak areas. The

results of this test are factored into a bridge course that commences before the start of the University curriculum.

Six modules of tutorials with a pre-set syllabus and lesson plans are administered to the students. This course provides a level playing ground for all students and seeks to eliminate learning handicaps.

Thereafter, AIMS Centre for Student Development (ACSD) imparts a calibrated skills development program throughout the duration of the

academic courses. Skills imparted by ACSD include personality development, verbal and non-verbal communication, etiquette, simulations, life skills, stress management, usage of social media and

such others.

The AIMS Entrepreneurship Excellence Centre (AEEC) unrolls a

package of interventions aimed at promoting the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial skills of the students. Emphasis is placed on creativity, lateral thinking, opportunity seeking, attitude grooming and problem

solving.

The above activities result in producing a breed of managers and

professionals who can turn India into an economic superpower.

Higher education in India has essentially been devoid of industry integration and social focus. Institute is making its contribution to

overcome these defects through various activities in coordination with industry and community.

There were a few constraints and limitations that were encountered in these endeavors. It places immense pressure on existing resources – human, financial and infrastructural. The faculty and staff of the

Institute had to bear the onus of regular academic workload besides making efforts to reach higher levels of excellence.

Financial resources are finite and sometimes place a cap on developmental initiatives. It is the basic economic question of matching unlimited pursuits with limited resources. Another important

limitation is the time constraint in terms of adherence to the University calendar of events and setting new standards in all round grooming of

students.



5 Evidence of Success

Provide evidence of success such as performance against targets

and benchmarks, review results. What do these results indicate?

Describe ( in about 200 words).

Tangible and measurable results have been obtained by the Institute in

its student KSA mapping and development. There are three parameters that provide metrics in this direction:

a) The average salary package of our students has been increasing on

an annual basis. The MBA students recorded a pay package of Rs. 4.69 Lacs in 2015 that has been a 10% increase over the last year.

The trend has been upward in the past five years. This is a testimony to the growing acceptance of the industry to the genre of students that pass out. Overseas placements are also on the rise.

b) The quality and pedigree of recruiters is another parameter that is exhibiting a healthy trend. Success ratio of our students is

evidenced in companies taking more number of recruits.

c) Students have been increasingly embracing entrepreneurial outfits other than undertaking own business ventures. A large number of

recruiters who are startup entrepreneurial ventures have employed human capital from the Institute. Several of our alumni have

established successful first generation business ventures.

A review of these results endorses the fact that the student development initiatives at the Institute are both well founded and well

grounded. Comprehensive development of knowledge, skills and attitude facets in the developmental charter of a student is the definite

way to go forward.

6 Problems encountered and resources required

Please identify the problems encountered and resources required

to implement the practice (in about 150 words).

a) Effective internal motivation, discussion with peers and counseling

has helped overcome initial inertia of the faculty members and staff to run the extra mile.

b) Lack of participative cooperation from the students who felt that

some of the KSA initiatives were strictly not part of the curricular requirements of the University was a problem. Different levels of

interest from different types of students were another problem that was diluting institute’s initiative and threatening a unified student response.

c) Finding the right external manpower resources in driving and sustaining this program was problematic in the initial phases.

While knowledge can be imparted by many, skills and attitude can be honed by a few.



Resources required for successful running of this initiative were financial, infrastructural, ICT related and human capital. The commitment of the top management, earnestness of the faculty

members and enthusiasm of the students were the principal psychological resources that were voluntarily pressed into service

making this program highly meaningful.

Best Practice 2:

1. Title of the Practice:

Triple Bottom-line Approach

2. Objectives of the practice:

a) To produce Managers and Professionals in tune with societal and

environmental concerns.

b) Develop enhanced levels of responsibility amongst the students.

c) Ensure balance between corporate profits, welfare of people and

conservation of the planet.

3. The Context

What were the contextual features or challenging issues that

needed to be addressed in designing and implementing this

practice (in about 150 words)

Triple bottom-line approach understates balanced growth of society (People), environment (Planet) and financial (Profit) dimensions.

Intensive planning and micro management of operational details are required to ensure that these concerns are adequately addressed. Going beyond the call of the bare minimum for the faculty members and

students is a challenge.

The organizational culture, vision and mission of the Institute is a vital factor in motivating the stakeholders to shoulder higher

responsibilities. Fostering such an enabling environment is an issue that needs to be grappled with. Time management is always crucial

when many pursuits have to be accommodated.

Another related issue is to create structures within the Institute that will facilitate multiple goals to be pursued simultaneously. A tradeoff has

to be made between curricular and co-curricular activities to ensure a balanced mix of campus activities. It is also imperative to involve

external experts and agencies to augment these initiatives. Structuring all these varied efforts to provide for a synchronized student development was a key ingredient.



4. The Practice

Describe the practice and its uniqueness in the context of Indian

higher education. What were the constraints / limitations, if any,

faced (in about 400 words)

The students of the Institute are trained in the various domains to

become effective managers and professionals who contribute to profitable operations of their employers. The concepts, tools and techniques that are imparted during the course of education stands the

students in good stead in contributing to the profitability and balance sheets of the employers.

The AIMS Centre for Community Services (ACCS) inculcates social

consciousness amongst the student fraternity through societa l immersion. Social immersion expresses itself in a multitude of activities like blood donation camps, free cataract operations, hygiene,

street shows, shramdhan, education camps and similar others. These activities were conducted in several villages in the vicinity of

Bangalore. Prime focus of these endeavors is to inculcate people or social orientation to the students.

The AIMS Centre for Sustainability (ACS) seeks to harmonize human

welfare with regeneration of the natural resources of the planet. It has collaborated with the Industry, Government, NGOs, Green Activists and the Citizenry in doing ground level work and spreading awareness

about sustainable development. Students of AIMS IHE are the prime driving force in all these forays. They conducted green camps, spread the message of sustainability, conducted roadshows, hosted a round

table conference on all facets of sustainability and undertook pilot studies outside Karnataka.

Training leaders and managers of the future is one of the prime goals

of higher education. This vision can be accomplished only if these leaders and managers are totally immersed in the issues that are of

paramount importance to our society. Hence, there cannot be a more fertile training ground than getting the students involved in live projects and reality checks. Institute firmly believes in going beyond

the traditional methods of classroom education and treating education as a nation building exercise.

With every creative initiate, teething problems are encountered. It is

not easy to be an island of excellence as it involves strength of vision and continuity of action. It took a superior effort to veer the team together and enlist their continued support for the management

vision/mission.

Secondly, both the students and the corporate employers need to be continuously communicated about the utility of this effort which has a

futuristic rather than immediate benefit for both organization and individual.



Thirdly, time management is a formidable challenge as curricular requirements have to be juxtaposed with co-curricular imperative and adherence to the University calendar is mandatory while pursuit of

creative and constructive objectives is not.

5. Evidence of Success

Provide evidence of success such as performance against targets

and benchmarks, review results. What do these results indicate? Describe in about 200 words.

a) Corporate recruiters have realized the long term utility of students from the Institute who are adequately skilled and meet the industry

requirements. This is reflected in the better compensation packages being offered to our students on an annual basis. Further, the number of students recruited per corporate has increased

demonstrating growing trust in the processes being followed.

b) Students of all departments have actively participated in ethnographic camps that are regularly conducted by the ACCS.

Many villages like Summanahalli, Keshtur, Veerapura, Nelamangala and others have benefited from these community services. Consequently, students have imbibed social awareness

and civic responsibility.

c) As a part of a study on public policy taken up by the department of management students visited Warangal City Municipal Corporation

in the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh for a week to study its solid waste management practices that is reputed to be amongst the best in the country. The study was presented to students of all

departments and also published.

The above results were achieved against targets for a) improvement in compensation package, b) cross disciplinary participation in community service activities to broaden sensitivity and c) inculcate

responsibility of citizenship through understanding of best practices in public policy. The success of these activities indicates that students

graduating from the Institute meet the industry needs, societal needs and the environmental needs of humankind. Hence, institute would have made a positive contribution to the society and country at large.

6. Problems encountered and resources required

Please identify the problems encountered and resources required

to implement the practice (in about 150 words).

a) Aligning the activities related to sustainability and community

services with the calendar of events requires substantial time, manpower and logistics planning. The pulls and pressures in

balancing these activities which would interfere with the regular working of the Institute were overcome by close coordination between departments and the focused activity centre’s.



b) Another challenge was the resistance of the students to assume higher responsibility to embrace this initiative. They were made to understand the difference between immediate employments versus

the life time goal of continuous employability which would take them to greater heights in their career.

Support of the top management is critical to realization of the long term perspectives that are laid out. This support was realized in an ample measure while implementing the goals spelt out. Financial

resources were made available whenever required which underlines the commitment of the Institution to creative and constructive initiatives in

ameliorating the quality of education.
