c) Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department utilize the feedback?
The alumni association of the department conducts meetings frequently. During these meetings the alumni are requested to give their valuable suggestions and recommendations on the curriculum of the program keeping in view the latest industrial practices and technology developments. These suggestions are consolidated by the head of the department and placed before the Board of Studies for its consideration.
One of the external members of the Board of Studies is from industry who takes part in design and development of the curriculum and contributes from the point of view of skills required for latest industrial technologies. Apart from this, industrial personnel suggestions on curriculum from recruiters, and collaborating industry experts are obtained. These recommendations are placed before the the Board of Studies which deliberates and recommendes for implementation in their yearly meetings.

The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the course outcomes. The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes. All the actions of AMC are brought to the notice of department committee for its considerations.
The head of the department and dean of the institute monitor the proceedings of AMC and verify whether these course outcomes are properly mapped to program outcomes.
The Board of Studies of the department constantly gets the inputs from AMC and department committee about the activities of the various courses in the semester. It carefully reviews frequently whether the course is oriented towards the program outcome or not. If the teacher/ alumni/ recruiter/ parents suggests for any changes in the syllabus of the course or any modifications required from the point of view of outcomes expected, the Board of Studies thoroughly examines the query and deliberates extensively taking the opinion of the external members also and, if required, suggests changes in the syllabus, to dean for appropriate action.
47. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the
vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with

41. Was any need assessment exercise undertaken before the development of new programme(s)? If so, highlight the methodology.
The following procedure is adopted before introducing any new program:
The departments conduct the need analysis for the proposed new program
before introducing. The need analysis comprises demand for the program, employment opportunities, relevance to the local needs. The feedback on these issues is collected from all the stakeholders‟ viz. alumni, senior students, recruiters, parents and enterprise.
The departments also organize workshops and brain storming sessions by involving academicians, experts from industry and research organizations to identify the exact title and the feasibility of offering the proposed program.
After considering the recommendations, the Board of Studies discusses the proposed program in detail including the expertise available and forwards their recommendations to the university with the proposed budget requirements for approval.
42. Does the department obtain feedback from
a) Faculty on curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation? If yes,
how does the department utilize the feedback? The feedback on curriculum obtained from the staff handling various
courses and their suggestions are placed before departmental committee for consideration and appropriate action and their recommendations are placed before the Board of Studies for consideration.
The feedback on teaching-learning methodologies and assessment procedures are obtained from the faculty and discussed in the departmental committee and forwarded to the dean through head of the department for necessary action.
b) Students on staff, curriculum and teaching-learning-evaluation and
how does the department utilize the feedback?
The feedback from students on faculty is obtained through online system twice in a semester – the first one after a month of commencement of
46
course and the second one at the end of the course. The feedback is analysed by the head of the department and it is handed over to concerned teacher along with suggestions for any rectification in teaching process if required.
The feedback on curriculum is obtained from the graduating students and their suggestions are placed before the Board of Studies for appropriate action.
The students are requested to give their feedback on the methodology adopted by the teacher in teaching –learning and evaluation process. The feedback is analysed by the departmental committee chaired by the head and is forwarded to respective teachers for appropriate action. The feedback analysis is also available with the dean and, based on necessity, the dean will address the faculty and appropriate measures are taken for improvement of teaching learning process.
Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department utilize the feedback?
The alumni association of the department conducts meetings frequently. During these meetings the alumni are requested to give their valuable suggestions and recommendations on the curriculum of the program keeping in view the latest industrial practices and technology developments. These suggestions are consolidated by the head of the department and placed before the Board of Studies for its consideration.
One of the external members of the Board of Studies is from industry who takes part in design and development of the curriculum and contributes from the point of view of skills required for latest industrial technologies. Apart from this, industrial personnel suggestions on curriculum from recruiters, and collaborating industry experts are obtained. These recommendations are placed before the the Board of Studies which deliberates and recommendes for implementation in their yearly meetings.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
48
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision &
mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.

The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

The feedback is analysed by the head of the department and it is handed over to concerned teacher along with suggestions for any rectification in teaching process if required.
The feedback on curriculum is obtained from the graduating students and their suggestions are placed before the Board of Studies for appropriate action.
The students are requested to give their feedback on the methodology adopted by the teacher in teaching –learning and evaluation process. The feedback is analysed by the departmental committee chaired by the head and is forwarded to respective teachers for appropriate action. The feedback analysis is also available with the dean and, based on necessity, the dean will address the faculty and appropriate measures are taken for improvement of teaching learning process.
b) Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department utilize the feedback?
The alumni association of the department conducts meetings frequently. During these meetings the alumni are requested to give their valuable suggestions and recommendations on the curriculum of the program keeping in view the latest industrial practices and technology developments. These suggestions are consolidated by the head of the department and placed before the Board of Studies for its consideration.
One of the external members of the Board of Studies is from industry who takes part in design and development of the curriculum and contributes from the point of view of skills required for latest industrial technologies. Apart from this, industrial personnel suggestions on curriculum from recruiters, and collaborating industry experts are obtained. These recommendations are placed before the the Board of Studies which deliberates and recommendes for implementation in their yearly meetings.

45. List the teaching methods adopted by the faculty for different programmes.
Teaching Methods
Audio-visual aids to supplement traditional black board teaching. Power Point Presentations. Participative methods like student presentations, interactive sessions, and
role plays.
86
Preparation of study review tools like Flash Cards, Mind Maps, Display charts and Models
Experiential learning through field visits. ICT enabled teaching through in house X-learn portal. Usage of MOOCS and NPTEL Course ware
46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly
met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
87
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are
constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
110
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are
constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored? The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the
vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee
128
(AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

The feedback on curriculum is obtained from the graduating students and their suggestions are placed before the Board of Studies for appropriate action.
The students are requested to give their feedback on the methodology adopted by the teacher in teaching –learning and evaluation process. The feedback is analysed by the departmental committee chaired by the head and is forwarded to respective teachers for appropriate action. The feedback analysis is also available with the dean and, based on necessity, the dean will address the faculty and appropriate measures are taken for improvement of teaching learning process.
c) Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department utilize the feedback? The alumni association of the department conducts meetings
frequently. During these meetings the alumni are requested to give their valuable suggestions and recommendations on the curriculum of the program keeping in view the latest industrial practices and technology developments. These suggestions are consolidated by the head of the department and placed before the Board of Studies for its consideration.
One of the external members of the Board of Studies is from industry
who takes part in design and development of the curriculum and contributes from the point of view of skills required for latest industrial technologies. Apart from this, industrial personnel suggestions on curriculum from recruiters, and collaborating industry experts are obtained. These recommendations are placed before the the Board of Studies which deliberates and recommendes for implementation in their yearly meetings.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
144
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the
vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and
165
suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also
186
adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.
187
47. Highlight the participation of students and faculty in extension activities: National Service Scheme (NSS): Two Units of National Service Scheme
(NSS) were sanctioned by the Central Govt. / State Government with funding to the department. Volunteers of these units conduct special awareness programmes on clean & green, safety, traffic awareness, drug abuse traffic eliciting, and demonstrating the science experiments to students of secondary and higher secondary classes.
Every year they conduct a special camp in/near a government school, exposing the students to the new technologies. In consultation with the teachers of the school the volunteers of the NSS are identifying the dropouts from the school and personally visiting their house and educating the parents regarding the value of education and bringing back the dropout students to the school.
Creating awareness to the villagers near the school in the domains: “need of education, sanitation, consequences of consumption of alcohol, tobacco, ghutka etc.”

course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that teaching methods adopted are constantly
met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and
aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class
throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC)
221
constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student
performance in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation of performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on
various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

45. List the teaching methods adopted by the faculty for different programmes.
Lectures (Chalk and Talk) Audio Video presentation Site Visits and Case studies Study Tours
46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the
vision & mission statements of the department. The Program
Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and
outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance
and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan
is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class
throughout the semester which are focused to match the course
outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate
the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee
(AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with
student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class
every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the
course coverage and performance of students in all courses is
242
reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned
to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student
performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also
adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at
the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s.
The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and
PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the
evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board
of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program
outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is
mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC
on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and
suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach
the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly
mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback
received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts
on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the
Academic council for its approval.

The departments conduct the need analysis for the proposed new program before introducing. The need analysis comprises demand for the program, employment opportunities, relevance to the local needs. The feedback on these issues is collected from all the stakeholders‟ viz. alumni, senior students, recruiters, parents and enterprise.
The departments also organize workshops and brain storming sessions by involving academicians, experts from industry and research organizations to identify the exact title and the feasibility of offering the proposed program. After considering the recommendations, the Board of Studies discusses the proposed program in detail including the expertise available and forwards their recommendations to the university with the proposed budget requirements for approval. 42. Does the department obtain feedback from

The feedback on curriculum obtained from the staff handling various courses and their suggestions are placed before departmental committee for consideration and appropriate action and their recommendations are placed before the Board of Studies for consideration.
The feedback on teaching-learning methodologies and assessment procedures are obtained from the faculty and discussed in the departmental committee and forwarded to the dean through head of the department for necessary action.
b) Students on staff, curriculum and teaching-learning-evaluation and how does
the department utilize the feedback?
The feedback from students on faculty is obtained through online system twice in a semester – the first one after a month of commencement of course and the second one at the end of the course. The feedback is analysed by the head of the department and it is handed over to concerned
254
teacher along with suggestions for any rectification in teaching process if required.
The feedback on curriculum is obtained from the graduating students and their suggestions are placed before the Board of Studies for appropriate action.
The students are requested to give their feedback on the methodology adopted by the teacher in teaching –learning and evaluation process. The feedback is analysed by the departmental committee chaired by the head and is forwarded to respective teachers for appropriate action. The feedback analysis is also available with the dean and, based on necessity, the dean will address the faculty and appropriate measures are taken for improvement of teaching learning process.
c) Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department utilize the feedback?
The alumni association of the department conducts meetings frequently. During these meetings the alumni are requested to give their valuable suggestions and recommendations on the curriculum of the program keeping in view the latest industrial practices and technology developments. These suggestions are consolidated by the head of the department and placed before the Board of Studies for its consideration.
One of the external members of the Board of Studies is from industry who
takes part in design and development of the curriculum and contributes from the point of view of skills required for latest industrial technologies. Apart from this, industrial personnel suggestions on curriculum from recruiters, and collaborating industry experts are obtained. These recommendations are placed before the the Board of Studies which deliberates and recommendes for implementation in their yearly meetings.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of
256
the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are aligned with the vision &
mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (POs) are
270
evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the
program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns
this to meet the Course Outcomes (COs). The lesson plan is circulated to all
the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout
the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The
performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the
course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class
teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic
activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC
meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is
reviewed and required suggestions are given to the concerned to orient them to
the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only considers the student performance
in the tests for attainment of COs and POs, but also adopt indirect approach by
taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on COs and at
the end of program on POs. The survey results are used to quantify the
attainments of COs and POs.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluationof
performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS)
monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the
various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various
courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in
the syllabus/ scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with
PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/
alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in
the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision
& mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO)
are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of
the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and
aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is
circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class
throughout the semester which are focused to match the course
outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the
outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC)
constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student
representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every
fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course
coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and
required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to
the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student
performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt
indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of
the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey
results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation
performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies
(BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by
considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on
various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for
changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected
outcomes.
290
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the
proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped
with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from
teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and
suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council
for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance
in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes leads to the evaluation
performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
322
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to
meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various
courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision
& mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course
439
outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

and learning outcomes are monitored? The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision &
mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.

Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the
473
attainments of CO and PO. The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation
performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class throughout the semester which are focused to match the course outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the
492
outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of the course
on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies (BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes are monitored?
The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are aligned with the vision & mission statements of the department. The Program Outcomes (PO) are evolved from the graduate attributes and outcomes of each course of the program.
The teacher of the course prepares the lesson plan well in advance and aligns this to meet the Course Outcomes (CO). The lesson plan is circulated to all the students concerned.
The teacher conducts class tests / assignments / quizzes in his class
throughout the semester which are focused to match the course
508
outcomes. The performance of the students in these tests will indicate the
outcome of the course. The Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC)
constituting of all class teachers, counsellors along with student
representatives reviews the academic activities of the class every
fortnight. Based on the inputs from the AMC meetings, the course
coverage and performance of students in all courses is reviewed and
required suggestions would be given to the concerned to orient them to
the requirements of course outcomes.
The Department Committee (DC) not only consider the student
performance in the tests for attainment of CO‟s and PO‟s, but also adopt
indirect approach by taking feedback survey from students at the end of
the course on CO‟s and at the end of program on PO‟s. The survey
results are used to quantify the attainments of CO and PO.
The performance of students in course outcomes lead to the evaluation
performance of students in program outcomes. The Board of Studies
(BoS) monitors the performance of students in program outcomes by
considering the various courses to which each PO is mapped.
The BoS also gets the inputs on COs and POs from AMC and DC on various courses in the semester. It reviews this feedback and suggests for changes in the syllabus/ Scheme of the course to reach the expected outcomes.
The Head of the Department and Dean of the Institute overviews the proceedings of AMC & DC and confirms the POs are properly mapped with PEOs. The Dean frequently reviews the feedback received from teachers/ alumni/ recruiters/ parents/ external experts on PEOs and suggests changes in the scheme of the program to the Academic council for its approval.

19. Present details of Center infrastructural facilities with regard to equipment Biodiesel Extraction Plant Cashew Processing Unit
a. Seed Decorticator is used to separate the kernel from the seed. The
separated kernels are then passed on to the seed crusher. b. Seed Expeller: The kernels get steamed and crushed in the seed expeller to
get crude oil. c. Filter Press: The crude oil is then passed through oil filter to filter at
required density. d. Transesterification: Transesterification Plant consists of Catalyst Mixture,
Reaction Tank, and Settling Tanks. The oil from the Expeller is then transesterified through the machine to produce Biodiesel. Tree Borne Non-edible Oils can be converted into methyl ester (Biodiesel) by the process of transesterification.
e. Free fatty acid removal unit: Ion exchange resin was used to clean the biodiesel
f. Methanol Recovery unit: Methanol Recovery from the biodiesel is imperative to the economics of any biodiesel production facility. The preferred result is to recover the methanol in a form for re-use in production to reduce the overall methanol costs. There are a couple steps involved: methanol extraction from biodiesel, and recovery of the methanol. There are several different methods of extracting methanol from biodiesel vacuum flash evaporation, distillation, and water washing. Distillation of methanol from biodiesel can be performed in a single column. Sodium catalyzed biodiesel will “drop” its soap after methanol recovery.

Improved properties for Engine application: Preheating, blending, ultrasonically assisted methanol trans-esterification and supercritical methanol trans-esterification are being used to reduce the viscosity and make them suitable for engine applications. In addition, cold flow, cloud point properties, kinetic viscosity, oxidative stability and the cetane number (CN), are few of the important parameters to determine the ignition quality for biodiesel.
Dr.Y.V.V.Satyanarayana Murthy, Associate Professor, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, GITAM University has investigated on use of nano metallic fuel additives on combustion, performance and engine vibrations of variable C.I. engine fuelled with diesel and biodiesel-diethyl ether blends” with the financial assistance (Rs 49.32lakh rupees) received from Department of Science and Technology. In this research project, the performance of jatropa methyl ester with cetane improver Diethyl ether was used in diesel engines. The jatropa methyl ester was prepared utilizing the facilities available at biodiesel processing facility.
The performance of the biodiesel produced is being improved with nano size fuel additives. The research on this topic has resulted two Ph.D theses.
“Experimental investigation of Zinc oxide nano additive in Jatropha biodiesel blends with dual injection of Hydrogen in Diesel Engine on performance, emissions and vibrations”- by Syed javed 2011-2015.
“Experimental investigation of performance, emissions and vibrations of Diesel engine fuelled with DEE-JME-DIESEL blend with Al2O3 nano particles and brij58 as surfactant” by T.NagarjuanaRao-2013-2016.
Another Ph.D is being carried out on “Characterization and study of ZnO nano particles in jatropa biodiesel blends on soot emissions” by Ramakrishna 2015-2018.
The performance of the engine was studied by M.Sunitha, M.VarunMohan, and M.Sankar (2011) during their B.Tech dissertation on “Experimental investigation on combustion and performance of CI engine with nano metallic additives to diesel and bio-diesel diethyl ether blends”. The performance of methyl and butyl esters of sunflower oil on the engine was studied by P.S.V.Sateesh, T.S.Pretam and V.Bhaskar (2013) during their B.Tech dissertation.
The emission from the engine was studied by S.Raviteja (2014-2015) during his M.Tech dissertation on “Experimental investigation of performance and engine emissions on single cylinder DI-Diesel engine with metal coated catalytic convertor “. During the same year, K. Veerandranaidu, and P. Vijay

reddy also investigated on engine performance and emissions on variable compression engine using catalytic converter”.
Contribution to capacity building: The outcome of the biopesticide production project would have a bearing on our efforts to develop strategies for the lowering pesticide pollution and ecofriendly cheap biopesticide formulation. The pesticide effects on the human can be lowered. It may be noted that tasks identified as part of the study are not only of academic value but also of applied nature. The output obtained from the proposed investigation would be certainly useful to the marginal farmers.
The investigation would be useful in generating trained personnel for mass propagation of entomopathogenic fungal isolates. Knowledge disseminated would be relevant and contributes to the efforts of ecofriendly environment. Rural youth are trained in production of biopesticide and its application as a cottage industry, which minimizes the transportation cost, adulteration of biopesticide and quality product will be delivered to the farmers.
24. Future plans of the Centre.
Faculty at the centre would like to study of Biochemical and molecular properties of Jatropha and Pongamia seeds concerned with Biofuel production: The ability of biodiesel to meet the special criteria is largely determined by its Fatty Acid composition. Biodiesel containing high levels of monounsaturated FAs is preferable, while high levels of polyunsaturated FAs decrease biodiesel stability increase the oxidative stability and affect the cetane number. The FA content of Jatropha oil includes 14.1–15.3% palmitic acid, 3.7–9.8% stearic acid, 34.3–45.8% oleic acid and 29.0–44.2% linoleic acid. Inorder to improve Jatropha biodiesel qualities, higher oleic acid (>70%) and < 10% of saturated FA would be required, which can be achieved by altering the FA composition in Jatropha seeds. Study about physiology and genetic basis of Jatropha are key attributes for improvement of the Jatropha crop. To make an informed selection of plant material and to assign functions to selected gene products, a deep understanding of the physiology of Jatropha for practical applications is required. The biochemical path ways leading to the synthesis of oil in jatropha and Pongamia plants will be studied to identify the suitable mechanisms for the maximum biosynthesis of oils in these plants.
The centre plans to start a 3 months training programmes to rural unemployed youth on computer skills and internet usage in association with Department of Information Technology, GITAM University.
529
The centre also would like to start a 3 months certificate programmes in association with Dept. of Biotechnology, GITAM Institute of Technology and Dept. of Biotechnology and Microbiology, GITAM Institute of Science:
1. Certificate course on production of biopesticides and biofertilisers
2. Certificate course on Cashew processing and packaging

23. Impact of the Center on Community:
GITAM University has been organizing tree plantation drive for the last many years. The Center for Climate Change and Disaster Management has organized Earth Day on 22nd April 2014 in association with Ministry of Earth Sciences and planted more than 1000 saplings along the beach road.
The University campus at Visakhapatnam is prominently known as green campus. The unprecedented Hudhud Super Cyclone which occurred on 12th October, 2014 caused widespread havoc in uprooting some trees and loss of green cover of the campus. The Center for Climate Change and Disaster Management in association with Department of Environmental Studies helped the University in restoration of several plant species such as Artocarpus, Mangifera, Anacardium, Pongamia, Azardichta, Ficus and Syzium by applying modern techniques. These plant species enhance carbon sequestration potential because of its high wood density apart from other plants and also to protect and multiplication of local bird species population. All these measures helped for bringing back the campus to normalcy in make it once again eco-friendly and a green campus.
The center has organized environmental awareness workshops to school children on health and hygiene concepts in three districts of North Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Survey has been conducted on water quality in rural villages of North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and awareness is created among the people on water quality and conservation measures.
24. Future plans of the Centre:
Establishment of ENVIS center by Ministry of Environment, forests and climate change, New Delhi. It envisages good recognition at national level and also facilitates annual recurring expenditure for center maintenance.
Recognition of center laboratories by Central Pollution Control Board to strengthen the industrial consultancy activities.

1. Establishment of Sea/ Marine food processing Centre by 2017.
India‟s seafood industry has become one of the leading suppliers of quality seafood to all the major markets of the world. India has world class seafood processing plants that follow quality control regimes complaint to stringent international regulatory requirements.The export earnings in 2013 -14 had reached an all time high of US $ 5 billion (about Rs 30213 crore).
With the growing demand for Indian seafood products across the world, the
dynamics of the sea food business in India is changing fast. There is a tremendous growth in the resources and infrastructure of the Indian seafood industry today.
There is a huge scope for investments in marine fish processing sector, cold
storages and export of coastal fish for the private sector as it holds vast, untapped marine resources with a great export potential.
The faculty of the centre has expertise in Marine fish processing GITAM
envisages at starting a Marine food Processing Centre.
551
2. Establishment of Mega Food Parks by 2018 The primary objective of the MFPS is to provide modern infrastructure
facilities for the food processing along the value chain from the farm to the market. It will include creation of processing infrastructure near the farm, transportation, logistics and centralized processing centers. The main feature of the Scheme is a cluster based approach. The scheme is demand driven, and will facilitates food processing units to meet environmental and safety standards.
The expected outcome is increased realization for farmers, creation of high
quality processing infrastructure, reduction in wastage, capacity building of producers and processors and creation of an efficient supply chain along with significant direct and indirect employment .
3. Collaboration with national institutes like NIFTEM in 2016
GITAM would soon enter into MoU with NIFTEM to encourage research innovations through collaborative efforts in the areas of post harvest technology and value addition with special emphasis on food products.
4. Starting Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industry by 2017
The equipment granted by MOFPI and GITAM has enabled us to start a small scale Industry which will be in operation soon. Farmers, rural women and unemployed youth will be trained in processing various vegetable and fruits. Training would be free of cost. GITAM University is working with three NGOs who would assist us in the said training.
5. Starting a Cashew Processing industry
Access will be provided soon to the rural tribes to process cashew nuts produced in rural areas. This value addition would generate immense opportunity to enhance their income.
6. International collaboration with Ohio State University 2017
We intend to explore collaboration with the Department of Food Science and Technology at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Professor V.M.Bala Subramanian, a food engineer at the university has
developed a high pressure non thermal food processing technology for preserving juices.
It is intended to collaborate with Prof. Bala Subramanian in planning projects
of Common Interest. Prof.Subramanian has agreed to admit students from GITAM University to work under his guidance.We hope that this collaboration would provide expertise and provide excellent opportunity to network with experts from industries and academia Faculty exchange and training programmes with international Universities.

Fire performance of High Strength concrete Fire performance of Fly ash concrete Fire performance of recycled brick aggregate concrete Assessment of fire damaged structures
23. Impact of the Centre on Community:
Fire is one of the most destructive accidental loads that a structure can be subjected to. Once fire has started, highly flammable modern finishing and fittings cause fire to spread at an alarming rate. In a typical fire the temperature reaches 5000 in about 10 min and 9500C in 1 hour. The amount of damage caused to a structure by a fire will depend on the severity and the duration of the thermal exposure. It ranges from superficial damage to the paint and plaster to extensive structural damage.
Realizing this social concern, the University established Fire Research
Centre as a pioneering facility in the year 2009. Engineering of Disaster Mitigation for Safer Built Environment with respect to fire is one of the major thrust areas in which the centre is working and has contributed significantly. At this centre, our scientists are involved in research and development of fire resistant materials for safe built environment with a view to minimize the losses due to fires. The more important facet of this centre is implementation of the research in field and finding solutions to practical problems of the safety.
The centre has produced two doctoral degrees and 22 M.Tech degrees on
performance of fire effected concrete. Some of the ongoing research topics are “Behaviour of Geopolymer concrete exposed to high temperatures, Performance of basalt fibre concrete at high temperatures, Performance of recycled brick aggregate concrete at high temperatures. The centre has also completed sponsored projects of UGC and DST.
The centre has conducted various awareness programmes to create
awareness on the topic of fire resistant concrete. A national conference,“National Conference on Fire Affected Concrete structures (NACOFACS‟06)” was successfully organized to bring all the researchers working in the area of fire affected concrete structures on to a single
562
platform with a view of capacity building. An International Conference for Professional Engineers,“Challenges in Disaster Management” has been organized with one exclusive session on fire affected concrete structures. The centre has developed the expertise of designing fire resistant concrete mixes. The centre has developed fire resistant concrete mixes for the Visakhapatnam steel plant and Brahmini steel plant.
24. Future plans of the Centre: 2016-2017
Provide facility to test stressed specimens under compression. Conduct of work shop on blast resistant structures.
2017-2018
Provide facility to test stressed beams Collaboration with CBRI to undertake joint research. Offer consultancy services for design of fire and blast resistant structures. Offer certificate programmes on Fire Resistant Design of Structures.

23. Impact of the Center on Community.
The Centre for Gandhian Studies is itself established with the explicit purpose of
promoting Gandhian thought and human values through teaching, research and extension activities in the context of the current socio-political, economic and educational concerns. One of the core objectives of the Centre is to promote Gandhian education to connect classrooms with community centers. The Centre conducts several activities of social relevance.
The Centre organizes Open Lectures to audience across the community to provide
a forum for discussion on human values. A series of lectures on the Philosophy and Psychology of the Bhagvad Gita by Dr. Sangeeta Menon of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Interactive session on Human Values in Management by Prof. G.P. Rao of Spandan, on Gandhian Methods for a Peaceful Existence by Dr. Veena Howard of University of Oregon, on Understanding the Core of Happiness by Dr. Prem Masand of the Brahma Kumaris.
The Centre organizes Yoga and Meditation Sessions on its premises to students
and staff of GITAM University and to all interested participants from the city. The Centre also undertook the project of Introducing Philosophy in the
Professional Educational Curriculum, with the objective of inculcation of Gandhian ideas and human values into students who would be the citizens of the country. As a kind of extension to this activity, the Centre in collaboration with Akshaya Patra Foundation organizes weekly classes on human values to the students of GITAM.
The Centre is equipped with a library which is open to everyone from the
community who are interested in the areas of Gandhian thought, philosophy and human ethics and values. The Centre also houses a prestigious museum – a pictorial and artifact based representation of the life, philosophy and practices of Mahatma Gandhi, open to the community with special emphasis on encouraging school children to visit in order to promote an understanding of the Gandhian way of life.
The Centre observes Gandhi Jayanti and Gandhi Vardanthi every year through a
series of community related activities including the organization of Village Industries exhibitions and sale, Khadi live demonstration and yoga and meditation camps among other activities.
580
24. Future plans of the Center In Gandhi‟s vision “Gram Swaraj” is the primary means of bringing about
economic independence to India. Indeed, in his scheme, self-reliant villages constitute the basic building block of sustainable economy. The village industries, Gramodyog, constitute the main engine that moves economic development. Gandhi asserted repeatedly that “where there is rural well being there is universal well being.”
Weaving is one of the main segments of village industries. In fact, Gandhi chose
Khadi as the symbol of Indian freedom movement. Chakra continues to adore the flag of Indian National Congress. Gandhi saw in Khadi India‟s life line. Khadi with its hand make unique designs and Gandhi‟s patronage became an elite ware that appeals to one‟s aesthetic sense. It is also healthy and eco-friendly ware because of its texture and natural content. Further it can be marketed and promoted as conscientious ware that appeals to the moral sense of the people because it provides livelihood to millions of people.
Sixty-six years after India‟s political independence, the economic independence
Gandhi sought still eludes us. Villages are becoming less and less self-reliant. There is the continuous depletion of village work force, migrating to urban centres. Face-to-face village communities are giving way to faceless urban slums of migrant workers lost in the mechanical maze of urban living. Increasing globalization in recent years furthered worsened the situation.
The plight of weavers is a case in point. Along with village farmers, the weavers
constitute the largest group committing suicides. Despite state subsidies, the sale of Khadi products is far below sustainable levels. The situation is indeed grim. We need to make a deliberate choice between Gandhian model and the present competition driven, capitalist corporate model. An intelligent choice requires a carefully collected set of related facts and a close logical scrutiny, rational thinking and dispassionate discussion. This study proposes to do just that so that the policy planners can take appropriate and intelligent decisions.
During the year 2019, we will celebrate Gandhiji‟s 150th birth anniversary. We
hope that a study like the one proposed here would show what went wrong so far and what can be done to meaningfully translate Gandhian ideas into workable practices and policies. The government of India may announce on the eve of Mahatma‟s 150th Birth Anniversary new initiatives to revive Khadi and Village industries toward realizing Gandhiji‟s dream of Gram Swaraj. As we celebrate Mahatma‟s 150th birth anniversary five years from now, the world will witness a renewed interest in Gandhi and rejuvenated impetus to ponder over Gandhiji‟s ideas and constructive programmes. To mark this important event the
581
GITAM Center for Gandhian Studies proposes to bring out a set of 30 volumes consisting of Gandhi‟s important contributions to humankind and contemporary commentaries on them. This constitutes the first phase of the Project Gandhi Darsan. This project is more than a humble tribute to the Mahatma. It is intended to be an important exercise to assess the depth and strength of Gandhian thought and practices and their contemporary relevance. It is conceived to be a definitive in-depth study of Gandhi, his person and philosophy. Presented thematically in a manner (a) to give clarity to and find consistency in Gandhiji‟s extensive writings, (b) to trace the developments since Gandhi, (c) to examine the relevance of Mahatma‟s ideas to the troubled world today by leading academic thinkers, and (d) to provide inter-disciplinary context to move Gandhian thought forward.
