PREFACE

Bhandup Educational Society, a Public Trust was established in 1962 for

promoting education. Late V.K Krishna Menon, who was the President from 1966 –

1969 got 4500 sq. yards of land at Bhandup from Government of India on

26/01/1965. A building complex of 80,000 sq.fts now houses K.G, Primary,

Secondary schools, Junior College and Senior College with B.COM, B.Sc, B.Sc.

Computer Science, M.COM and BMS with over 4000 students. The Government of

India allotted a play ground of 5500 sq. yards of land in 1971 adjacent to the building

complex.

The college was allowed to be started by Maharashtra Government in 1982 at

Bhandup East, opposite Railway station to meet the increasing needs of the locality

for higher education, on the request of Late Sharad Shankar Dighe, then Speaker of

Maharashtra Assembly, who was on the College Advisory Board from 1980 to 1986

and President of the Society from 1987 till his demise in April 2002. The College of

Commerce was inaugurated by Late Smt. Sharad Chandrika Patil, then Education

Minister of Maharashtra in June 1982. The Society started Junior College of

Commerce in 1983, Junior College of Science in June 1989, Senior Science College in

1992, B.Sc. Computer Science and M.Com in 2005 and BMS in 2009. Both Commerce

and Science colleges are permanently affiliated to University of Mumbai and the

NAAC assessed and accredited the college with ‗B‘ Grade in 2004. The College is due

for re-accreditation.

The Management adopted Bhagawad Gita as Dictionary of Life and the

application of 20 principles of Bhagawad Gita to the day to day activities of the

college paves the way clear on the March to Perfection. The admission of students on

merit with no donation of any kind after doing prayer before their respective Gods

creates respect and fear for God. The Centre of Gandhian Studies started by the

Management throws light on the Gandhian Vission of social transformation and

individual empowerment.

College of Commerce & Economics on 14/03/1987 by Late R. Venkitaraman, then

Vice-President of India and Science College named as Sharad Shankar Dighe College

PRINCIPAL‟S MESSAGE

The decades of dedication to education have taken the college to greater

heights in providing quality education.

Quality, Transparency, Equal Treatment, Equal Justice and Discipline are the

hallmarks of our institution. We have a history of 100% results for SSC from 1987 till

date and 85 to 100% for college on an average which speaks quality of education.

As a matter of principle, we do not accept any kind of donation for admission

from students for KG to PG. During the centaury of Satyagraha year, our

Management has introduced 20 points code of conduct from the life of Mahatma

Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Bhagawad Gita. We,

the members of Menon family under the guidance of Shri.P.A Menon, a staunch

Gandhian, a fatherly figure of all of us, undertake to follow the same.

Our experienced and qualified staff participate in the University system to

achieve overall excellence. Our non-teaching staff make efforts to improve their

qualifications continuously.

The remarkable feature of our college is that the college has established

Students‘ Consumer Co-operative Society run by the students, for the students

which is successfully functioning since 1993. It is really a practical laboratory for

commerce students and sets a good example of ―Learning by doing.‖

We acknowledge the contributions of the Management, all teaching and non-

teaching staff members, students, parents, alumni and well wishers who have

helped us in our effort to impart quality education and who all have contributed

whole heartedly in the preparation of this accreditation report.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

The college is affiliated to University of Mumbai and adopts its curriculum.

We stand by our Vision, Mission and Objectives and strive for attainment of

perfection.

Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are arranged and carried out and

go hand in hand with the curriculum framework which helps in development of

students in an overall manner. Our library, laboratories and other infrastructure

facilities provide a strong foundation for effective curriculum delivery. In addition to

regular lectures, our students are benefitted from practical studies and activities in



and out of the college campus. Our teachers are members of various committees at

University level and they update students with recent amendments in the

curriculum. Our students are provided with ample options in the subject / course

selection.

Students are made aware of social issues and various activities are conducted

through different units of the college. Teachers are encouraged to participate in

seminars, paper presentations, orientation courses, refresher courses etc. for quality

improvement

We follow the academic calendar strictly for syllabus completion, assessment

and evaluation. Academically weak students are identified and remedial measures

are taken. Advanced learners are identified and provided with additional library

facilities. The character and the values imbibed by our students prove our claim.

CRITERION II: TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION

According to Swami Vivekananda, ―Education is the manifestation of the

perfection already in man‖. True to the Mission Statement ―Tamaso Maa

Jyothirgamaya‖ this institution was started to cater to the needs of the local

community. We believe in providing value education rather than achieving only

degrees. Accordingly all the endeavours are carried out towards this end.

Students are informed about the courses, evaluation norms of the university

and college along with an informal counselling about the goals of education to add

value to their life.

In the beginning of the academic year an academic calendar is prepared. The

curricular, co-curricular/extra-curricular activities are carried out according to this

which is monitored by the HOD‘s, Vice-Principal, Principal and the Management. A

lesson plan is submitted by the faculty members to the Principal through the HOD‘s.

Various committees constituted in the beginning of the academic year organize

many programmes for the overall development and empowerment of the

stakeholders. Exams are conducted and results are published according to the

University schedule. At the end of the academic year every faculty member submits

a syllabus completion certificate. Each committee submits a report of the activities

conducted to the Principal.

The evaluation system is rigid, yet transparent. All directives of the

University regarding evaluation are followed and are upgraded / amended upon

intimation from the University. The students are mentored by the faculty members,

Vice-Principal, Principal and the Chairman of the Management. Students / Faculty

members are encouraged to participate in all the programmes which enhance their

quality. There is an efficient Grievance Redressal Cell.



Various scholarships are awarded to students to boost their interest in

learning, organizational, communicational and cultural skills. The NSS unit conducts

various activities to sensitize the students on social living. Programmes organized on

National days and the various competitions conducted during the academic year

helps the students to bloom and uphold the institutional value.

With all the above mentioned activities, the students step out to the wider world

with self-confidence, adaptability and good reasoning. It is our privilege to mention

that some of our students have joined our college as faculty members.

CRITERION III: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

The college takes a lot of initiative in promoting research activities. A research

committee has been formed to promote research culture in the college. It encourages

the staff and students to undertake various research projects, sends staff to

participate and present research papers in different international, national and state

level conferences and seminars. The college provides adequate infrastructure,

library facilities, learning resources and human resources to undertake research

projects.

Some of our faculty members have been awarded Ph. D. Degree during the

last five years and few have registered themselves as research scholars and

pursuing their studies. Some of our faculty members are Ph. D. Guides, supervising

research scholars pursuing Ph. D. in different universities. Some students have

already completed M.Phil under the able guidance of our research guides. Our

faculty members have completed five minor research projects funded by University

of Mumbai and UGC.

The college encourages the staff to employ their expertise and experience for

social causes. Few faculty members are associated with social organizations and

provide valuable guidance to them.

In order to inculcate social responsibility among students and staff, the NSS

and DLLE units of our college have undertaken various projects. Our NSS unit has

adopted nearby Slum – Chamunda Nagar and carries out lot of social activities in

the same place. Every year it conducts Thalassaemia testing, Blood Donation

Camps, Health Camps, Malaria awareness campaign in association with Municipal

Corporation, etc. The extension activities of our college include various projects like

Programme (ICT-SDE), Career Development Projects, Industry Oriented Project

(IOP), Survey of Women‘s Status for the purpose of empowerment of socially

backward women in the society etc. Our college conducted awareness programme

The research, consultancy and extension activity of our college is an expression

of academic growth of our staff and encourages us to work as one family.

CRITERION IV: INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

V. K. Krishna Menon College of Commerce and Economics was established in

1982 due to the initiative taken by late Shri. S. S. Dighe, the then Maharashtra

assembly speaker. The Science stream was added in 1992. The College, formerly

known as B.E.S. College of Commerce and Economics and affiliated to the

University of Mumbai, is run by Bhandup Educational Society and has all necessary

infrastructure and learning resources as required by the rules.

It provides physical facilities, library facilities, ICT infrastructure and healthy

environment for learning. The physical facilities include classrooms, technology

enabled learning spaces like computer laboratory, UGC network resources centre,

and library, etc. The physical and other facilities meet the requirement of curricular,

co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Facilities are provided for extracurricular activities through gymkhana cum

gymnasium. We have the 5500 sq. yards of play ground which provides the facility

for outdoor games. The interclass tournaments are arranged on this ground every

year. The facilities are also provided for NSS activities, communication skills

development, music and dance programmes, etc. and these are conducted in our

spacious air-conditioned auditorium.

The two elevators on either side of the college building facilitate the easy

access to the physically challenged students.

The well equipped library which caters to the needs of students and staff with

all learning resources is situated on the 1st floor on north-east side of the college

building. The library has an Advisory Committee headed by the Principal and

Librarian as the secretary of the committee. Senior teachers from each faculty look

after the overall development of the library and guide the librarian concerning the

same. The library is fully computerized and bar-coded using SOUL 2.0 software

developed by the INFLIBNET (an IUC of the UGC). It comprises of good collection

of reference books along with a number of academic journals, newspapers, E-

cases it is maintained by outside professional agencies. Maintenance facilities are

also provided for electricity, housekeeping, elevators, air-conditioners, water coolers

and purifiers, fire extinguishers, etc.

Close circuit cameras have been installed at various places within the college

premises on all the floors.

CRITERION V: STUDENT MENTORING AND SUPPORT

The official website www.vkkrishnamenoncollege.org and college prospectus

provide information about courses, fee structure for admission and code of conduct.

It also clearly mentions that management does not accept any donation or capitation

fee for admission.

Welfare schemes for students include financial assistance/scholarship from

government agencies/institution/other sources, reservation in admission, remedial

coaching, Book bank scheme, Railway concession, freeships etc. Other facilities

include academic and personal counselling offered by teachers, publications in

college magazine, sports gear and materials. Participation in sports, NSS and

cultural activities enable students to develop themselves as worthy citizens. The

college has adopted UGC regulation and had constituted Anti-Ragging Committee

headed by the senior staff member of the college. No case of ragging has been

reported during last four years. The institution does not have registered Alumni

association. However alumni conducts programme such as Kargil Vijay Diwas on its

own initiative in the college premises. The college is proud of its alumni and their

contribution to the progress of the college. Our results are better than the

neighbouring colleges and passing percentage is better than that of university in

proportion to the higher education in the last four years.

Special support is provided to the students who are at risk of failure and

includes remedial coaching, academic counselling, bilingual explanations and

preliminary examinations.

http://www.vkkrishnamenoncollege.org/



NSS, Students council, Co-operative society, DLLE activities develop

managerial skills. Sense of patriotism is inculcated through participation in

Independence day, Republic day and Gandhi Jayanti. Cleanliness drive undertaken

on Gandhi Jayanti creates awareness of dignity of labour and personal hygiene.

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

The Management with the only vision of attaining perfection and manifesting

it to the outside world through one‘s thought, word and deed has adopted

Bhagawad Gita as the Dictionary of Life and is translating its twenty principles of

knowledge into action in all spheres of life. The Management has employed

Transparency, Equal Treatment, Equal Justice, Quality and Discipline in the day to

day activities of the college to make it a reality. Though a minority institution, the

admission of students and the appointment of staff are based on merit irrespective of

caste, creed and community with ―no donation‖ or capitation fee of any kind. No

punishment is allowed to be given to the students and staff beyond drawing their

attention to ―Manifestation of perfection through one‘s own performance and

experience‖ as advocated by Swami Vivekananda, to reform them. All students take

their admission after they do prayer before their respective God and take blessings.

For all breaches of discipline the students confess in writing and ask for pardon

before the God. Thus the Management has made the institution a temple and Godly

atmosphere is made to prevail. Every year the Management celebrates the Birth day

of Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October, when a book written by Gandhiji is given to all

staff. Gandhian seminar is conducted on the death anniversary on 30th January to

imbibe in them Gandhian vision of social transformation and individual

empowerment. The Management creates the Godly atmosphere for the students and

staff for allowing the values and virtues of life to take root in them.

The Management, which is the highest decision making body of the college,

participates, monitors, reviews, sustains and quickens the march to perfection with

the hearty co-operation of the Principal, the staff and the students and takes a

leading role in the Governance and Management of the institution. The Management

discusses with the Principal in the beginning of the year on the yearly programme,

curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to decide policy and plan of

action of the college. The Principal finalizes the yearly programme with the Heads of

the departments, who finalize the yearly programme with the teachers of the

departments. The Principal finalizes the yearly programme with all the committees

including the IQAC constituted by the Management. The Principal places the yearly

programme and the performance report of each department, teachers and

committees before the LMC which gives advice on the same. The Management thus

monitors, reviews and speeden all the activities of the college through the Principal,

LMC and IQAC and with the hearty co-operation of all stakeholders. The



Management delegates the power to the Principal who being the Chairperson of all

committees implements the programme with the co-operation of all the committees

within the budget approved by the Management.

The Management is contributing to the culture and tradition of the institution

and meeting all the needs of the college. The staff, students and parents have no

genuine grievances. The parents-teachers meets are arranged and the feedbacks

reach the Management from stakeholders. The Management has started job oriented

courses like M.Com, B.Sc. Computer Science and BMS which meet the professional

requirements of the students. The academic leadership is given to the college

through the Chairman who gives guidance to the students and staff on the march to

perfection. The Management gives priority admission to the wards of the staff. The

Management is taking special interest in giving guidelines in the resolutions of the

Governing Body. The Management has encouraged the staff to complete orientation,

refresher courses and to participate in seminars, workshops and conferences at

National and International level to improve their academic competence. The

financial resources of the institution are managed effectively in the most economical

way and outcome is that the college does not have any deficit after fully meeting all

the needs of the college. The college arranges confidential evaluation of the teachers

and the overall institutional performance. The IQAC encourages the staff in research

project work, adds to the infrastructure, faculty development and facilities for the

students.

CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

―Sustainable Development‖ is today accepted as a more mature idea,

compared to the hither to ―Development at all costs‖ concept.

Our college aspires to follow Gandhiji‘s core philosophy of simplicity and

cleanliness. This inspiration can be found in all the innovative practices and

Environmental activities we follow.

Our contribution towards creating a positive impact on environment consists of:

1. Essay Competitions – on Global Warming, Protection of Environment, Energy

Management etc.

2. Poster Competitions – on Save Energy, Save Water, Vanmahotsav, Energy

Management etc and

3. Activities like Tree Plantation, Paper Bag Making, Note Book Making (from

unused papers) etc.

Since today‘s children are tomorrow‘s citizens, creating such awareness of self

help and understanding of the environmental impact due to human activities are

expected to go a long way in creating responsible citizens.



Practices like installing of CCTV, internet and photocopying facilities within

the campus, microphones in the classrooms; Thalassaemia testing etc. are some of

the student friendly approaches we have initiated.

An efficiently functioning co-operative society (managed by the students),

medical camps, blood donation drives etc are expected to enrich the students life in

inculcating values of co-operative living, sacrifices for the benefit of society,

selflessness etc.

VISION

We vision that education is not merely attainment of perfection already in

man. Perfection has to be manifested to the outside world through his

thoughts, words and deeds. God is the perfection in man in the form of

Jivatman. The nature inherited by the man envelops the Jivatman.

Sublimation of the base nature to reach the noble nature is perfection.

MISSION STATEMENT

The institution stands for the Principle ―FROM DARKNESS TO

LIGHT‖. ―Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man‖

says Swami Vivekananda. The nature or character or swabhava, inherited by

one, comprising of Sattwa Guna, Rajo Guna and Tamo Guna covers the

Jivatman. One living for the welfare of the people has Sattwa Guna. One who

lives only for earthly or bodily pleasures has Rajo Guna. One with Tamo

Guna lives a beastly life. The Jivatman when it leaves ones body to join

another body, carries the vasanas or the nature with it, says Bhagwat Gita.

Sublimation of the base nature to attain noble nature, by adopting Bhagwat

Gita as a Dictionary of life as done by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami

Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi, and the translation of the 20 principles

from Bhagawat Gita namely;

1. Humility (Absence of Pride)

2. Modesty

3. Ahimsa or Nonviolence

4. Forbearance

5. Uprightedness or straight forwardness

6. Purity

7. Self-control

8. Indifference to objects of senses

9. Steadfastness

10. Non attachment



11. Constant even mindedness

12. Self effacement or absence of ego

13. Service to the learned teacher

14. Perception of evil of birth, death, old age, sickness and pain

15. Absence of clinging to son, wife, home and the like

16. Unswerving devotion to God

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and

student profiles annually? If “yes” what is the outcome of such an effort and how

has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

The admission committee evaluates the procedure after admission and gives

suggestions which are accepted and implemented on a regular basis for the

improvement of the mechanism. (The strategy of deciding the cut off marks for

admission is decided after analyzing the H.S.C results). The Management and

Principal are also involved in the admission for counseling the students. It is to be

noted that the college does not accept donation or capitation fee for admission.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/ improve access for following

categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution

and its students profile demonstrate/ reflect the national commitment to diversity

and inclusion

2.2 Catering to student diversity

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently abled students and

ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

Admissions are given to the differently abled students according to the

government and university directions. Special seating arrangement is made for their

convenience. They are provided with lift facility. Such students are given special

attention in academics. Facilities are given during exams as per rules laid down by

the University. Everyone including the teachers provides help (physical, emotional,

academic) to such students whenever required. It is seen that their enthusiasm is

boosted constantly by this.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students‟ needs in terms of knowledge and skills

before the commencement of the program? If „yes‟, give details on the process?

The institution has adopted the syllabus prescribed by the University of

Mumbai which takes care of the curriculum. During the first few lectures of the

academic year every teacher tests the knowledge of the student in the respective area

of the subject by various methods. (By giving them basic tests, by asking questions.)

Science students are asked to describe certain basic methods which test their skills to

perform experiments in various subjects.

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of

the enrolled students (Bridge/ remedial /add-on/enrichment courses etc.) to enable

them to cope with the program of their choice?

As the students come from a state level syllabus to the higher education

system, they need to be acquainted with the course pattern and examination pattern

of the University; they are given introduction of the same by each subject teacher in

their first lecture itself. (Eg. At F.YB.com level the first few chapters of the main

papers completely depend upon the fundamental studies at junior college level.)

Bridging the gap:- The revision of the basics makes the concept clear and also makes the

understanding of the development of the course easy. The students are given

questions for revisions on the basics. The answers of the same are evaluated by the

respective subject teachers. Additional information is provided by giving special

notes in simple language.

Remedial Coaching:-

Weak students are identified and given extra care by giving assignments,

extra lectures and practical sessions and academic consultancy which help them to

perform better.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender,

inclusion, and environment etc.?

The NSS unit and the Women‘s Development Cell along with the staff

of various departments arrange various programs to sensitize the students and staff

on the said issues. (Street plays, Guest lectures, Blood Donation Camp, Eye Checkup

Camp, and Field Visits etc. are some examples).

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning

needs of advanced learners?

Advanced learners are given additional work, references and guidance.

Through project work many advanced learners are encouraged to come up with

innovative and informative projects. Students having special skills are encouraged to

participate in seminars, workshops and competition where they can show their



knowledge and skills. It is a proud privilege to mention that many of our students

have won many prizes in college and inter collegiate competitions.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the

academic performance ( through the program duration ) of the students at risk of

drop put (students from the disadvantage section of society, physically challenged,

slow learners, economically weaker sections etc who may discontinue their studies

if some sort of support is not provided) ?

Attendance of Students

The attendance of the students is taken for each lecture. There is an

attendance committee which analyses the attendance of each student and displays

the list of defaulters. Such students are asked to meet the class teacher who along

with the subject teachers keeps a regular check on them. If marked improvement is

not there, they are asked to meet the attendance committee and later the Principal.

Parents are also informed about the overall performance of their wards. They are

also encouraged to meet the teachers and the Principal. This has resulted in marked

improvement in the student performance.

Academic check

The students, in addition to the evaluation process prescribed by the

University, are given additional assignments which are evaluated. Each subject

teacher evaluates the assignments, checks the regularity of the students in the class

and identifies the weak students (academically and also in punctuality). The subject

teachers give consultancy hours to the students during which the students approach

the teachers. The faculty of the institute is always open to help any student in this

pursuit at any time. If required weak students are given extra notes and extra

lectures.

At the time of admission to S.Y and T.Y. level we conduct induction lecture

on the applied components, so that they take combination most suitable to them.

Attention given to final year students.

Special care is taken of the students who are in the final year. There is an

intensive and remedial coaching program designed for these students. They are

given weekly tests and practice sessions to write answers skillfully. Time

management is also practiced. They are asked to solve previous years‘ University

question papers. Our faculty members who have worked as examiners and

moderators provide tips which boost the students‘ spirits.

Various scholarships are awarded to students. Some are as follows.

Apart from the scholarships awarded by the government the institution also

gives scholarships for excellence. Alumni association too gives scholarships to two

needy students. There is a book bank scheme for economically backward students.

2.3 Teaching – Learning process

2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation

schedules (academic calendar, plan teaching, evaluation blueprint)

The college maintains an academic calendar giving the details of the various

programs of the year. In the beginning of the academic year time table committee

makes the time table, each department head distributes the work for the easy

completion of the academic work for the year. Each subject teacher submits a lesson

plan/synopsis to the Principal in the beginning of the academic year. At the end of

the academic year all faculty members submit a syllabus completion certificate to the

Principal. Examination, Result and Admission dates are announced well in advance.

Committees are formed under the head of the Students‘ Council

which conducts various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities (Eg. Literary

competitions, Dramas) which bloom the hidden talent in the students and offer good

platform to exhibit them. Since education is meant for the overall development of the

students, these also are taken care of. The Convener of every committee submits a

report of the activities conducted to the Principal at the end of the academic year.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching, learning process?

The IQAC constituted after the first accreditation looks into every aspect of

the college and makes a strategic plan for the enhancement of quality. It also checks

the implementation of the same.

Being a member of IQAC Dr. James Jacob gave an orientation lecture on CAS

to the faculty members with Power Point presentation.

2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support structure

and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning,

collaborative learning and independent learning among the students.

Though the lecture method is used extensively the same is supported by audio

visual aids, study tours and industrial visits. Students are encouraged to make



presentations in the class. Guidance lectures are organized by the University during

change of syllabus and evaluation pattern in which the faculties participate. Students

are encouraged to participate in various curricular and extra-curricular programs.

Computer facility and internet facility are available for both teachers and

students. The computers are upgraded from time to time. Power Point

presentations are done to make the lecture interesting.

Students are encouraged to make presentations in class. Discussions on case

studies organized in the classroom are proved to be effective in enhancing

inter-personal skills.

Various projects undertaken by the students help them in developing

communication skills and help them in inculcating scientific approach to

various problems.

Teachers avail book-bank scheme of University of Mumbai through which

latest books on their subjects are purchased. This helps the teachers to keep a

check on the updation of their subjects. Faculty members attending various

state/ national/international level seminars share their knowledge with the

students in order to keep them informed with recent trends.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper

among the students to transform them into lifelong learners and innovators?

Advanced learners are given additional work, references and guidance.

Through project work many advanced learners are encouraged to come up with

innovative and informative projects. Students having special skills are encouraged to

participate in seminars, workshops and competition where they can show their

knowledge and skills. It is a proud privilege to mention that many of our students

have won many prizes in college and inter collegiate competitions.

The geography department, Botany and Zoology departments and the

Chemistry department take the students for various study tours and introduce them

to the current developments which stimulate their craving for learning more.

encountered and the intuitional approaches to overcome these?

In general no difficulty is faced in completing the curriculum within the time

frame and plan (given in the academic calendar) but, occasionally the institution

faces difficulty because of the extended period of admission by the University to the

first year degree level. The difficulty of the students not being able to makeup for the

missed syllabus is solved by arranging extra lectures and practical‘s for them.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching, learning?

The teachers submit a self-study report at the end of the academic year. There

is a mechanism of evaluating the teachers by the students also. The report by the

students is given to the teachers for amending their methods if necessary. These

reports help the teachers in introspection which results in improvement from time to

time. From this year (2014-2015) the teachers have started maintaining a diary report

also which is monitored by the principal and vice- principal.

2.4 Teachers Quality

Appraisal forms are submitted to the principal

Principal scrutinizes and show the same to the HOD and hand it over to the

respective teachers.

The teachers after going through the appraisals take necessary corrective

measures if required.

2.5 Evaluation process and reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially

student and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

Each teacher conducts an induction program on question paper pattern and

the evaluation process in the beginning of the academic year. The same is repeated

before each exam. An examination committee appointed with senior faculty

members prepares the examination schedule and the same is put up on the notice

board. The results are distributed to the students in the presence of their parents.

Both the students and the parents interact with the teachers to know about the result

pattern, attendance and overall progress of the students. The importance of regular

attendance is stressed during this time.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the University that the institution has

adopted? And what are the reforms initiated by the Institution?

The university has its own evaluation patterns which are adopted by the

institution. The university has started semester system from 2011-12. In this 40%

marks are for internal activities and 60% marks are for external examination (in

internal activities 20% is for test, 10% for project work, 5% for attendance and 5% for

overall performance till 2013-14). Apart from this the students are guided by the



college which has adopted several methods of evaluation of its own among which

the attendance record plays a major role. Students are given personal counseling and

also academic counseling as and when needed. There is an Unfair Means Enquiry

Committee which looks into malpractices.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation

reforms of the University and those initiated by the institution on its own?

Each teacher is well aware of the said norms and takes care that these are

implemented. The college announces the date of examination, result, revaluation

facilities quite in advance.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative ad summative assessment approaches adapted to

measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively

impacted the system?

Students are counseled for their personal problems by teachers, the principal

and the management. This has resulted in overcoming their weaknesses and

improving their academic/co-curricular/extra-curricular performances.

Counseling of the students along with participation of their parents (whenever

required) has fetched appreciation from the parents too and many of the students

have shown considerable improvement.

Various programmes conducted by the NSS unit of the college and several

departments help the students understand the values of

psycho/socio/economical issues.

Programmes conducted on Independence day, Gandhi Jayanti, Republic Day and

programs conducted by the Gandhian Study Centre of the college enable the

students understand the relevance of the sacrifices made by the people and help

them to become patriotic ( Students also participate in programs based on

Patriotism.)

2.5.5 Detail on significance report made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the

internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the

overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent

learning, communication skills etc.)

When the past students visit the college, they share the benefits got by them

during their tenure here and also share how it helps them in discharging their duties

well.

2.5.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/affiliating University.

How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?

to show their literary skills.

The above mentioned are achieved by many of the students organizing and

participating in various co-curricular/extra-curricular/sports activities.

Students gives feedback when they visit again.

2.5.7 What are the mechanism for Redressal of Grievances with reference to evaluation

both at the college and University level?

Students are given, on application for revaluation, photo copies of answer

sheets. After going through the photocopies if they apply for revaluation, a special

committee is set up in which subject experts go through the paper and if

recommended for revaluation the same by an external examiner following which the

result is given to the students. On grievances other than academic matters the

principal gives a chance to the student to justify his/her part and takes an

appropriate decision.

2.6 Student performance and learning outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If „yes‟ give details on the

students and staff are made aware of these?

The syllabus of University of Mumbai clearly states the learning outcomes

and the same are passed on to the students. In the beginning of the academic year the

students are explained the relevant points in the syllabus content of each subject

(Course) by the respective teachers. The staff of the college regularly attends

workshops on syllabus and gives their suggestions to the Board of Studies. The

students are educated about the relation of the syllabus with current developments.

Stress is also given to socio-economic value of the same. Each department has

informal discussions about the same at several points of time.

2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and

performance of students though the duration of the course/programme? Provide

an analysis of the students‟ results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last

four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across

the programmes/courses offered.

According to the examination norms laid down by the University of Mumbai, each student is evaluated by internal and external examinations. The internal examination is of 40% weightage and external is of 60% (which is changed to 25% and 75% respectively in 2014-15). They are also given assignments from time to time. Final year degree students are subjected to rigorous intensive/ remedial coaching from the commencement of the academic year. These exercises help in building confidence in the students.Results are analyzed every year. There is full transparency in the results.

the affirmative and negative parts of their performance. If required they are given

personal guidance, additional notes, additional references and revision. Our teachers

are available for them whenever they require. The strategies if needed are amended

also.

Role of NSS– The NSS unit of the college conducts many activities such as street

plays, guest lectures, programs on waste- management, blood donation camp, AIDS

sensitize the students about the value of freedom, compassion, truthfulness, self-

respect etc.



2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and

learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

As mentioned in the earlier points, students are constantly monitored on all

aspects (eg: attendance, performance in examinations –analysis of results,

performance in regular evaluation programmes conducted by the institution,

performance in practical etc.) from the beginning. Needy ones are given special

attention by guiding them to overcome their weak points, counseling them regularly,

by giving them notes, making them aware of the relevance of the course etc. which

help them to a great extent to perform better. They are also guided to prepare for the

examinations with time management. The importance of attendance and punctuality

is stressed with respect to the relevance of understanding of teaching the subject. It is

heartening that most of our students understand and follow these to become

successful.

2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning

outcomes?

as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning

objectives and planning? If „yes‟ provide details on the process and cite a few

examples.

The assessment/ evaluation outcomes help the teachers to study the potential

of students getting admitted to different courses every academic year and amending

their strategies in guiding them not only in academics but also preparing them to be



vigilant to face the challenges of the world they will be entering after their college

education. These aspects help the teachers also to keep pace with the modern world.

We are happy that some of our students have joined us as faculty members in

both conventional and self-financing departments.

3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students‟ involvement in

various social movements / activities which promote citizenship roles?

The institution gives best student award, best N.S.S Cadet award and best

N.S.S Organizer award, best N.S.S Administrator award in recognition to

students involvement in various activities conducted at college, inter collegiate or

university level.

The extension activity is conducted in the college as per the guidelines and

schedule given by the Department of Life Long Learning and Extension (DLLE)

which is monitored by the guidelines laid down by UGC.

Extension activity always works to encourage people to improve their

conditions in all dimensions of their lives. Overall development of people is the

ultimate goal of extension activity.

Extension work is most successful when it involves learners in its programs

so thoroughly that they set their own goals, apply new ideas and receive

feedback from others about their progress. Extension does not dictate how to

solve their problems; instead it encourages each one to choose the best among a

variety of option.

By providing research based information, teaching new knowledge and

skill, people are helped to improve production and increase income.

Over the years the work of the students involved in Adult Education and

extension and field outreach activities have been considered for academic credits

in addition to their regular course of studies. To determine the academic credits,

standard measure of weightage and evaluation process were adopted by the

university. To facilitate the sensitization of the student to the socio-cultural

realities, the department offers students extension work projects encomprising

social issues. The projects are related to

(i) Extension within a discipline at the undergraduate /postgraduate level.

(ii) In respect of a subject of study.

(iii) Enhancing employability and technology skills.

They also give opportunity to the students to apply class room knowledge

for the benefit of the community. It makes the students aware of social problems

in the community and enables the students to find their socio-cultural roots.

Working in groups of peers to make them more creative, gives the feeling

of belongingness and encourage them to be volunteers and make them good,

responsible, democratic leaders for a better future of the country.

The project activity is monitored by a network of people as shown below

1. Extension work students (EWS)

2. Student Managers (SM) ( one for a group 24 EWS)

3. Extension work teachers (EWT) (1:50 EWS)



4. Extension work field coordinator EWFC (1:5 College)

Each one has their own specific role and responsibility.

At the beginning of the year information about the Extension

activity is passed on to the students by circulation of notice, posters and talk by

EWTs. Then the students are asked to register their names by filling up the

prescribed form. From the registered students, student managers are chosen

based on their leadership qualities, willingness to work and the support of the

peers. For every 24 students registered, one SM is to be chosen.

The EWTs with the help of the SM‘s register the students and the college

with the department. The department arranges training programmes for the SM‘s

and EWTs, one in each term (1st term & 2nd term training). The trained SMs and

EWTs in turn train the EWS in the college with the help of the field co-ordinator.

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the overall

performance and quality of the institution?

The institution regularly takes students feed back to solicit stakeholder

(students) perception on the overall performance and quality of the institution.

3.6.4 How does the institution plan and organize its extension and outreach

programmes? Providing the budgetary details for last four years, list the major

extension and outreach programmes and their impact on the overall

development of students.

The institution makes yearly plans for extension and outreach

programmes. For N.S.S the funds are largely government funds but any shortfall

especially during conduction of N.S.S camps is met by the institution and the

Bhandup Educational Society.

While registering for extension activity, students have to pay a

registration fee of Rs.200/- of which Rs.100/- per student is sent to the

university. The remaining Rs.100/- per student is used to meet the expenses at

the college level.

3.6.5 How does the institution promote the participation of students and faculty in

extension activities including participation in NSS, NCC, YRC and other

National/ International agencies?

Every year there is an enrolment drive and students are selected for the

N.S.S and the Extension activities. Faculties are sent for the N.S.S orientation and

refresher programmes.

N.S.S programme Officer – Mr. A.B Chakravarthy completed his

refresher Programme from 25th to 29the March, 2010, 5 days on the

theme ‗Suicide Prevention‘ held at TISS in 2011.

N.S.S Programme Officer –Ms. Sheeba Nair completed her Orientation



for 6 days at N.S.S Empanelled Training Institute Ahmednagar College,

Ahmednagar from 22nd to 27th August, 2011.

N.S.S Programme Officer – Dr. Kakali Lahiri completed her Orientation

for 6 days at N.S.S Empanelled Training Institute Ahmednagar College,

Ahemdnagar from 5th to 11th October, 2013.

3.6.6 Give details on social surveys, research or extension work (if any)

undertaken by the college to ensure social justice and empower students

from under-privileged and vulnerable sections of society?

Students are given complete freedom to choose the project as per their

requirement and interest. The projects in demand are:-

(i) Communication Technology – Skills Development Education Programme

(ICT-SDE)

This Project assists individuals to use ICT for education and training

occupational choices and mange their livelihood. This makes the student

computer literate with the required skills in handling ICT enabled services.

Students can choose from various modules available on the E-Portal, learn online,

give exam online and avail certificate. The modules vary from basics in computer

to tax and accounting, share-marketing electronics and tele communication,

computer hardware etc.

(ii) Career Project (C.P)

In this project students make a survey of the career options available and

select one unique career. He /She collect all the relevant information

regarding that career. Interviewing persons in the same field is an integral

part of it. The informations collected is presented in the form of charts and

brochure. This project helps students to (i) analyze himself – to understand

his / her own abilities interests, aptitude, desires and values. (ii) to have an

occupational choice which suits him/her the best.

By doing this project, students can discover their own strengths,

overcome their weaknesses, develop better communication skills, leadership

qualities. They also come to know various aspects of interviewing and

become more confident. He will also know the job market of that career. As

he has to talk about his project for five minutes his stage fear will go vanish.

Thus the overall personality of the student is developed upon.

(iii) Industry Oriented Project (IOP)

Students are encouraged to undertake projects within their domicile

region to understand the opportunities available within their reach. By this

students acquire knowledge and motivation to understand the industry

oriented skills required in a variety of situations. Moreover they get working

experience. We have a student‘s consumer Co-operative society which sells



stationary items required by the students daily. This society acts as a practical

laboratory for commerce students. The office bearers of the society who join

the project-work in various posts like marketing, accounts, sales, and

management etc for long hours. By this, they get exposure to all the

components of business get skilled in technical and administrative field along

with serving the student community.

Of late the science students started doing some projects in lab, by which

they gains various skills like technical skill, laboratory skills, time

management, effective utilization of time, develop a scientific research skill

and knowledge. They get opportunity to present their data in the form of ppt.

(iv) Survey of women‘s status(SWS):-

As the name indicates, this is a survey directed to know the empowerment of

women both economically and socially and thus become equal partners in

national development. Students have to conduct the survey in the selected

locality among the ladies of same age group. Questionnaire is based on the

social status of women and is supplied by the department.

The critical analysis of each question is done and come to their own

conclusion. This will make them socially sensitive and responsible.

3.6.7 Reflecting on objectives and expected outcomes of the extension activities

organized by the institution, comment on how they complement students‟

academic learning experience and specify the values and skills inculcated.

Students learn to organize themselves. They are able to communicate

better. They get more confident in their abilities and try to give back to the

society as far as their abilities enable them. While conducting campaigns, street

plays, poster making, slogan making etc, many of these are conducted in market

places and crowded areas. They themselves get more knowledge, especially on

issues like HIV & AIDS which are otherwise hush-hush topics in our society.

Various other useful sessions conducted by resource persons on personality

development, cyber crime and cyber law, stress management, gender

sensitization, communication skills enhance their knowledge base earned

through academics and gives it a practical orientation.

3.6.8 How does the institution ensure the involvement of the community in

its reach out activities and contribute to the community development?

Detail on the initiatives of the institution that encourage community

participation in its activities?

Every year we conduct a career exhibition along with fun-n-fair. Here

students display their posters and talk for five minutes. This is attended by

students, staff of senior and junior college and school along with the parents.

The effect is extended to the society.



They also prepare street play on socially relevant topic based on the

projects. They take up Udaan festival – a flight of extension – is another

platform to exhibit their posters and street play. This is arranged by the

department district/region wise. Those who do not participate in street play

are to prepare an essay of 1500 words on any socially relevant topic.

CRITERION VI

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIPS AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 – Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the institution and enumerate on how the

mission statement defines the institutions distinctive characteristics in terms of

addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, institutions

tradition and value, orientations, vision for the future etc.

The vision of the institution is to attain perfection already in man and to

get the perfection manifested to the world outside through one‘s thought, word

and deed as advocated by Swami Vivekananda. God is perfection in man in the

form of Jivatman. It is enveloped by Sattwa guna or Rejo guna or Tamo guna. It

was carried by the Jivatman from the previous life to the present life. As stated

by Bhagawad Gita, when the Jivatma leaves one body on exhaustion of its merit

and joins another body, it carries the Vasanas or nature comprising of Sattwa

guna or Rejo guna or Tamo guna. It is the result of one‘s Karma or action. One

living for God or welfare of the people has Sattwa guna. One who lives for

earthly or bodily pleasures has Rejo guna and one with Tamo guna lives a

beastly life. Sublimation of the base nature is perfection.

The mission of the institution is to make the vision run through the day to

day activities on the march to perfection. The Management follows the 20

Principles of Knowledge, as stated in Bhagawad Gita, which was adopted as the

Dictionary of Life and incorporated in the college prospectus. The Management

installed the sign board ―Bhagawad Gita is the Dictionary of Life‖ at the college

gate, to bring home to the world that mission of the institution is the onward

march to perfection and its vision is destined to be a reality.

The mission statement of the institution finds expression in the

application of Transparency, Equal Treatment and Equal Justice, Quality and

Discipline to all spheres of the activities of the institution. Though a Minority

Institution, it considers for appointment of staff and admission of students, all

communities irrespective of religion, caste or creed and merit is the only

consideration. No donation of any kind is allowed to be taken for admission

from KG to Post Graduate classes from the inception. The admission procedure

has been made transparent, and made known to all. Only prescribed fees are

allowed to be taken for admission. All students taking admission are

interviewed and selected by the teachers and they take blessing from their

respective Gods before taking admission. The direction of the Management not



to give any punishment to the students and staff is implemented all through the

stages of life of the institution. The students committing any breach of discipline

admit the same in writing apologize before their Gods and undertake to bring

their parents to punish them. The Management, except beyond drawing their

attention to their deficiencies or weaknesses, does not impose any punishment

on students and the staff. The manifestation of perfection through one‘s own

performance and experience as advocated by Swami Vivekananda as the best

method of teaching is employed by the Management to reform the students and

the staff.

To make the quality development watertight, the Management has set up

the Centre for Gandhian Studies and Action which celebrates every birth day of

Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October, when one book written by Gandhiji is

presented to all the staff members and organises seminar every year on Gandhiji

to bring home to all students and staff the Gandhian Vision of social

transformation and individual empowerment. The Management has made all

efforts to ensure that the institution is a temple in which the God has taken

residence and every activity through thought word and deed is performed by

keeping God as witness. The Management has opened its door wide open to all

for any suggestion, grievance and complaint within the four walls of the 20

principles of Bhagawat Gita and fixed complaint boxes. The Management has

employed the Chairman who has over 30 years of experience in physiognomy

and palm reading, as honorary Counsellor and he has helped over 500 students

to know their nature to lead a pious way of life. Thus the Management has

created an atmosphere of fear and respect for God to help the students and staff

on their march to perfection.

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

Implementation of the quality, policy and plan?

The top management, Principal and faculty come together to employ all

possible efforts in Design and Implementation of Quality, Policy and Plan. S.414

of University Rules states that subject to supervision, general control and

direction of the Governing Body, the Principal as the administrative and

academic head of the college is responsible for the management of the affairs of

the college in accordance with the provisions of the Maharashtra Universities

Act and Rules and orders issued by the Central and State Governments. The

power of the Management in managing the affairs of the college is thus limited

by the said Act, Rules and orders. The college is to follow the course of study

and curriculum determined by the Act and Rules.



The Management initiates in the beginning of the academic year

discussion with the Principal on the yearly programmes of the college,

curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular. Then the Principal calls for the

meetings of all the Heads of the departments to decide the yearly programme of

the teachers and the departmental Heads. The Heads of the departments call for

a meeting of the teachers in their departments to discuss, finalise and submit

their academic programmes, the activity programmes and budget to the

Principal. At the end of the academic year, the Heads of the departments and the

teachers finalise their performance reports and submit the same to the Principal.

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell, a creation of the UGC consisting of

the representatives of the Management, Heads of the Departments, senior

administrative officers meets and chalks out the plan of action for academic

excellence of the institution, record and monitor quality measures of the

institution and submit the performance report with the budget to the NAAC and

the Principal.

The Principal who is the Chairman of all the Associations and

Committees in which all the Heads of the departments and teachers are

members in one or the other, calls meetings of all the Associations separately to

get their ideas and suggestions incorporated in the programme for the yearly

activities with the budget and submit the same to the Principal. They implement

the programme and submit the performance report at the end of the year to the

Principal.

The Local Managing Committee, a statutory body, consisting of the

Management, elected teachers and a non teaching employee advises the

Principal on the academic programmes and performance reports with the

budget submitted by the teachers and committees on the internal management

of the college, discipline of the students and performs duties and exercises

powers, authorized by the Management and the University. Thus the top

management, Principal and Faculty, fulfil their role in design and

implementation of the quality, policy and plan.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of leadership in ensuring:-

1. The Policy statements and action plan for the fulfilment of the stated

mission:-

The Management sets the Principal, Local Management Committee

(LMC) and IQAC to monitor the active participation of the staff of the college,

on the academic programme and various curricular, co-curricular and

extracurricular activities of the college and to make a periodical review of the

policies and action plan followed by remedial action whenever necessary.



Besides the Management takes initiative in organizing Gandhi Jayanti and

Gandhi Seminar every year to enrich the moral values already built up. The

Management started B.Sc. Computer Science, M.COM and BMS courses in the

college and equipped the college with necessary infrastructure to open fresh

avenues for new professional courses. The Management is totally involved in

contributing to the culture and tradition of the college by implementing

transparency, Equal Justice and Equal Treatment, Quality and Discipline

through the Principles of Bhagawad Gita.

2. Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same

into the institutional strategic plan:-

The Management is involved in setting up adequate budget provision for

all the needs of the college and requirements to be provided as per the

University rules and orders issued by the Central and State Government.

Various action plans are carried out through different college committees

such as Students‘ council, Sports council, NSS and Students‘ co-operative society

and administration of the college and require consideration and a sense of

responsibility in all actions in view of the students‘ friendly activities and

progress of weak and disabled students. The Management is involved totally in

formulation of action plans with the assistance of the Principal.

3. Interaction with stakeholders:-

The Management has adopted Bhagawad Gita as the Dictionary of Life

and the actions are based on Gandhian principles. The Chairman of the

management is a staunch Gandhian and his principles are acclaimed by the

common public throughout. His approach and principles have great role in

transforming this institution to the present form. The institution promotes

education for all with special emphasis on imparting education to girls. The

marginalized, disadvantaged and vulnerable group have easy accessibility to the

Management and Principal to meet their educational requirements. The

admission is purely based on merit and transparency is maintained at all levels

of action. This kind of functioning has benefitted all sections of the society,

especially the local poor. The principles of Equal treatment, Equal Justice,

Quality and Discipline, implemented at all walks of life by the college have gone

deep into the hearts of the stakeholders. The Management and the Principal

believe in the chaste growth of the staff to promote efficiency, empowerment

and confidence and development. Proper delegation of duty based on merit and

ability is promoted for the motivation of the staff. It has resulted in the better

functioning and co-ordination.



Besides, the meetings of the LMC consider the academic programmes and

performance reports of all the staff and the yearly programme and performance

report of IQAC and all college committees. The meetings of the Parents

associations and past students association with the teachers and the

Management create healthy atmosphere, the teachers take up administration

work.

4. Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs

and consultations with the stakeholders:-

The teachers, students and Principal are the stakeholders who moot the

idea for planning a new course for which the need of the locality is looked into,

the feasibility is worked out after meeting University officials and Principals of

other colleges in the area. The teachers taking up research work and attending

workshops, conferences and symposiums generate inputs.

The Management takes initiative to collect the material facts from all

these sources and readies the finance required before finalizing the policy and

plan. The discussion with the principal, LMC and IQAC would embolden the

Management to decide the policy plan and action.

5. Reinforcing the culture of excellence:-

To inculcate the sense of responsibility and leadership at different levels,

proper delegation of authority is done at different levels. Besides allowing staff

to attend conferences, seminars, workshops etc for better exposure, an ideal

platform is offered to each one in the college administration to blossom their

participating leadership. Some senior teachers are associated with National level

organizations and their experiences shared among young teachers to encourage

and motivate them. Some teachers are experts at University/State level but yet

others contribute their expertise to organization of International repute.

Moreover students are identified and selected for different sports events at

different levels to express their talents and leadership.

The Management decides scooplessly implementing the 20 principles of

knowledge advocated by Bhagawad Gita with deep penetration of the principles

of transparency, equal treatment, equal justice, quality and discipline into all

aspects of life of the college and has made the presence of the Godly atmosphere

a sure possibility. The admission of the students of the college before Almighty

God, no donation for admission, no punishment for students and staff add to the

culture of excellence. Regularly replenishing the college library, gymkhana,

gymnasium, laboratories and other infrastructure, innovative examination

system, facilities and encouragement for research and faculty development have

further reinforced it.



6. Champion organisational change:-

The Management started the B.Sc. Computer Science, BMS and

M.COM course and the addition of infrastructure, computerization of library

and administration and the innovation in control and supervision in the college

has transformed the entire look of the college. Before allocating duties, the skill

of the concerned person and the work to be executed are examined strictly.

Through this the most suitable talent is identified and thereby the efficacy of the

work is ensured. In this way the participation of all staff are taken seriously in

the overall development to achieve the target. This will ensure the exchange of

innovative ideas and meet the requirements of the heterogeneous group of

stakeholders including students.

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.

The academic session is started with the preparation of an academic

calendar in which days available for teaching, activities and it‘s planning,

examination days and all other information are provided. Thereafter, the

Principal holds meetings of Heads of the Departments‘ and the Heads of the

Department hold meetings with their departmental staff to chalk out the

programme for the academic year. The meetings of the Heads of Departments,

with Principal provide a common platform for various departments to evolve or

finalize various programmes in addition to teaching and learning process. The

Heads of the Department with their departmental staff discuss the academics,

budgets, requirements and future plans, if necessary. By doing this a clear

picture of the institution programme for the academic year is ready for action.

The individual department will conduct their meetings to finalize various

programmes, financial requirements and the same will be communicated to the

Principal. The academic programme and the budget are placed before the LMC.

The chairpersons of the various committee of the college meet and

prepare their detailed action plan and budget in the beginning of the year and

submit the same to the Principal who will submit the same before the LMC for

consideration. After consideration of the academic programme and the budget

and action plan by the LMC, the Principal will approve the same after discussion

with the Management.

Regarding the teaching and learning process, the academic session starts

with the submission of lesson plan. Besides normal lectures methods, the use of

OHP, LCD Projectors, projects, student‘s seminars, survey etc are also being

employed to improve the quality of teaching and learning process. Audio

visuals, field-visits, field surveys and study tours play a vital role in sensitizing



students with present day situation. To inculcate leadership and sense of

responsibility among students, seminar, group discussion, debates and

participation in various competitions are also arranged.

Teachers‘ appraisal by students to evaluate regularity, subject knowledge,

punctuality, efficiency in conducting lectures / practicals/ tutorials of teachers,

in a scientifically designed format is collected and discussed in the departmental

meetings with Principal and the suggestions are shown to respective teachers for

improvement. In these ways students academic requirement is safe guarded and

better teaching is ensured. Besides, the IQAC meets regularly to evaluate and

ensure the quality and submit yearly report to the Principal at the end of the

academic year.

Besides at the end of the year Heads of the Department submits

Performance report along with the Self appraisal report of the teachers to the

Principal who studies the same, write the confidential report and communicate

the remarks to the staff.

6.1.5 Details of the Academic Leadership provided to the faculty by the top

management:-

The college was established by Bhandup Educational Society with Late

Shri. V.K Krishna Menon, Former Defence Minister as President and Shri. P.A

Menon, M.COM, LLB, Advocate as Chairman in 1962. The Society runs at

present KG, Primary School, High School, Junior College and Senior College

with students on roll above 4000. Throughout the Management consisted of

qualified and well experienced in running educational institutions. The present

Management consists of all qualified and well experienced persons including

three practising advocates, Principal and Vice Principal of Law College.

The Management with the help of the Chairman is implementing the

principles of Bhagawad Gita and monitoring the day to day functions of the

college in the name of God. The Management as committed to running the

college and all institutions in accordance with the principles of Bhagawad Gita

and is giving academic leadership to the college family.

The Management provides all the financial support to meet the

requirements of the college. The chairman is available for all grievances of staff

and students at any time. All the college magazines carry an article by the

Chairman which enriches the staff and students. As a Counsellor, Chairman

guides the staff and students in their march to perfection. The yoga class during

NSS camp every year elevates the body and mind of the students.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

To groom leadership at various levels, it is very important for young



leaders to participate in different programmes and activities at various levels.

Through this, talents are identified and work is delegated to them to enhance

skill and techniques. Keeping these in view, young leaders are allowed to

function under senior leaders in different committees and councils to sensitize

them with the requirements. Thereafter independent portfolios are given to

them. To develop the organizational capacity, staffs are entrusted with various

programmes at departmental and institutional levels.

The students are given opportunities to work in Student‘s council, Co-

operative society, Library committee, canteen committee and other committees

concerned with their interest. Students are made to attend various inter-

collegiate seminars, workshops and competitions to mould their skills. The

college awards and prizes are given as incentive. The teachers are allocated

administrative work and other college functions. They are also given

opportunities to organize college events and functions.

6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational autonomy to

the departments/units of institution and work towards decentralized

governance system?

Decentralization of governance brings greater ability and enthusiasm in

discharging duties. V.K Krishna Menon College provides great amount of

flexibility in promoting work culture for staff and students. All departments are

given freedom for preparation of annual budget, procurement of materials,

planning and its implementation. Petty cash is given to science departments for

local purchase and financial assistance is allocated for field trip and study tours.

Besides, the college Purchase Committee empowers its members in the effective

utilization of resources with the permission of the Management. The Students‘

Co-operative Society offers operational authority to students under the

leadership of a staff and functions very effectively as the practical laboratory for

the commerce students.

The Principal delegate authority to the Heads of the Department and all

functional committees to conduct the activities assigned to them.

6.1.8 Does the College promotes a culture of participative management? If „yes‟,

indicate the levels of participative management.

Yes. The culture of participative management is promoted by the

management through LMC and IQAC. The LMC consisting of Management

Representatives, Representatives from teaching and non teaching staff advises

the Principal on the academic programmes and performance reports submitted

by the teachers of various committees. The LMC looks into the internal

management of the college and discipline of the students and performs duties



and exercise powers authorized by the Management and University. Thus the

Management participates in design and implementation of quality, policy and

plan of the college. The IQAC consisting of representatives of the Management,

Heads of Department and Senior Administrative Staff chalks out plan of action

for academic excellence of the institution, monitors quality measures and

submits the performance report to the Principal who places it before the LMC.

Thus the culture of participative management is reflected in all activities

and plans performed by different departments and committees. The activities

might relate to examination, curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular

activities, sports, conduct of seminar, workshop and intra department

programmes.

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?

Yes. The quality policy of the institution is to make the vision run through

the day to day activities on the march to perfection by translating the 20

principles of knowledge indicated in Bhagawad Gita into practice. The

application of Transparency, Equal Treatment, Equal Justice, Quality and

Discipline in all spheres of activities of day to day life would quicken the march

to perfection. The appointment of staff and admission of students on merit with

no donation, employing transparency, no punishment to the students and staff,

employing forbearance, the manifestation of perfection through ones own

performance and experience as advocated by Swami Vivekananda would hasten

the march of the college to perfection.

The Gandhian vision of social transformation and individual

empowerment generated by the Gandhi seminars conducted by the

Management and the articles in the college magazine go a long way to reinforce

the policy. The honorary services of the Chairman as a Counsellor, to guide the

students to perfection and the Godly atmosphere in the college ensure the

sanctity. The environment in the college has helped to build up human values,

self confidence, global outlook and academic excellence.

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

aspects considered for inclusion in the plan.

The college has various perspective plans to include:-

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

institution for each of the following:-

(a) Teaching and learning:-

The college has a great culture of providing freedom to staff where the

Management and Principal often discuss and interact with the Heads of

Departments to promote the growth, aspirations and teaching learning

process of their respective departments. The college provides adequate

support by allowing the teachers to participate in conferences, workshops,

seminars etc. to promote skill and competency. Institutional visit, field visit

and study tours are also conducted to improve/execute practical excellence

in academics. Besides it provides a sense of commitment and practical

knowledge in eco-friendly practices, rain water harvesting, vermiculture,

aqua culture and social awareness and entrepreneurship.

The teachers are encouraged to attend refresher and orientation courses

to update their skill and knowledge. Internet and LCD/OHP are made

available to both teachers and students. They act as facilitators and mentors

by employing question-answer method, assignments, project preparation,

presentation, self-study to improve their skill and development.

(b) Research and Development:-

In the changing scenario and to meet the global challenges in the field of

education, the college has made its effort to focus on research for the

optimum utilization of academic efficiency. These in turn have resulted in

the uptake of various topics for doctorate, presentation of papers at seminars

and conferences, publication of papers in various journals and even

authored the publication of books. Some teachers are members of academic

bodies at national level.

The college has replenished library facility, computer laboratories,

internet facilities and other infrastructure to speed up the research and

development. The Management has allowed the teachers to join other

Research Centres and guide students for Post-Graduation courses.



(c) Community engagement:-

The college is committed to provide the educational needs of the local

poor. Besides, some staff have taken necessary steps to provide financial

assistance to needy students to progress in their studies. Further, statutory

body like NSS has focused on creating social awareness among the common

public and hold ‗Blood Donation‘ camp twice in a year. The Parents and

students meet the Management and Principal throughout for their problems.

Staff are also involved in creating awareness among the lower strata of the

society regarding hazardous effect of uncontrolled use of colours and

crackers during Ganapati visarjan and Diwali.

(d) Human resource management:-

The college ensures strong support, equal treatment and equal justice to

all its members in a family atmosphere. Staff at all levels are encouraged to

be a part of the institution in its activities. The Godly atmosphere created in

the college due to the implementation of the Bhagawad Gita by the

Management and non-punishment principle and sympathetic attitude of the

Management has hastened the human resource management. The teaching

staff and the administrative staff are making efforts to update their

resources. The job rotation of the administration and the interchange of the

functions of the teachers in the college committees have contributed to the

healthy growth.

(e) Industry interaction:-

V.K Krishna Menon College is a preferred choice for different companies

for campus selection. The institution also provides a platform for different

companies to interact with students by conducting interactive sessions with

them. The campus interviews by professionals from industry and guest

lectures have positive influence on the college students and staff.

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

stakeholders, to review the activities of the institution?

As a part of continuing effort of the institution for its growth and quality,

the Management and the Principal review all its activities periodically. This has

been further strengthened by analyzing the activities taken up by the

departments and various committees, activities of student statutory bodies and

appraisal by students. (i) The performance reports, performance appraisal and

self appraisal submitted by all the teachers, Heads of the department and

Chairman of various committees of the college, (ii) The performance reports of

the LMC and IQAC and (iii) the appraisal by the students enables the Principal

to prepare the consolidated performance report of the college which help the



Management and stakeholders to review the activities of the institution. The

dairies maintained by the administrative staff and their annual performance

reports provide the performance of the administrative staff. The meetings of the

Parents Association and Past students Association further enlightened on the

subject.

6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff in

improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional process?

Teaching and supporting staff at all levels are encouraged to be a part of

the institution in all its activities (and decision making process). As mentioned

earlier the Management believes in ―equal justice and equal treatment‖ to its

entire staff in a family atmosphere. The motto of the management is ‗not to

punish anyone‘. The transparency at all levels boosts self confidence and

operational efficiency of the staff.

The regular meetings of the LMC and IQAC, the meetings of the

Management and the staff individually and collectively, the implementation by

the Management of method of Manifestation of Perfection through one‘s own

performance and experience add to their morale.

CRITERIA VII INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness 7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

No.

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

friendly?

Common plants and few plants required for studies were planted and

maintained. Eg:- China rose, Rose, Ashoka, Albezzia, Mango, Crotons etc.

Some medicinal plants like Asparagus, Brahmi, Tulsi, Aloe, Pepper,etc were

planted.

Every year, F.Y.BSc. Students are taken for a round of college campus

for creating awareness about different types of plants available in the campus

and their morphological studies.

Generally, dignitaries are welcomed or felicitated with bouquets and sometimes

even with Feng shui / Bonsai plants which is a new trend catching up very fast.

It is estimated that flowers cultivated for ornamental purposes cause a

lot of environmental damage. Precious arable land is used to cultivate flowers

that require relatively large quantities of water, as also pesticides and fertilizers.

Cultivated plants do not contribute towards bio-diversity. Moreover such

flowers need to be transported quickly as they are highly perishable.

We understand that some plants have great religious and medicinal

significance. One such plant is Tulsi, which absorbs harmful gases like carbon

monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide from environment.

We are aware of the plant‘s medicinal and religious significance.

As a result, we have made it a point to felicitate or welcome

dignitaries with a Tulsi plant. We started this innovative practice, in the year

2010-11 and is still being continued.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have

created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

Installation of CCTV on floors and laboratories have contributed to safety

and security. This has helped in maintaining discipline.

A fuming cupboard installed in the Chemistry Laboratory has helped in

maintaining a healthier environment. Mixing of fuming liquids and opening

of toxic substances are now done in this chamber; introducing a large

element of safety in the laboratory operations.



A smart card facility for meritorious students (First Three Rank Holders)

from each class has been introduced. Accordingly such students are allowed

two extra books as home issue whereas other students are allowed only one

book.

Two computers with internet facility have been kept in the library

exclusively for students‘ use. This is free of charge. Question papers for most of our examinations are now printed in the

campus itself, ensuring utmost secrecy in this very important function of the

college.

A new system of maintaining the record of the lectures and practical‘s

engaged by the teachers has been initiated.

This system is expected to help the teachers in maintaining proper records

for placement.

The number of students in the classes nowadays tend to be higher compared

to the erstwhile smaller classes. Students in the back rows are in a

disadvantageous position in a large class. Introduction of microphones in

most of the classes have helped in the participation of such students in the

class activities.

Economically backward students made use of a new scheme of our library

wherein text books were given to them for a period of one year under the

―Student‘s Welfare fund‖ scheme.

October 2nd, ie. Gandhi Jayanti day is celebrated with speeches touching

upon the lessons to be learned from Gandhiji‘s life, including simplicity and

adherence to truth, which also forms the core philosophy of our college.

Various skits by school children and rendition of Gandhiji‘s favourite

Hymns during this day, followed by cleaning of the campus by the staff and

the participating students is the highlight of the day. On this day staff is

given books written by Gandhiji, so that by thought, words and deeds they

can align with and understand the philosophy which guides the college

activities.

Blood donation drive has been an activity regularly conducted in our

college. Students attending the blood donation drive do undertake a

‗Thalassaemia‘ test for a nominal charge Rs. 50/- which otherwise would

cost Rs. 800/- or more elsewhere. Students detected with Thalassaemia

Minor trait are counselled as to the precautions to be taken.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which

have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives



and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the

college.

BEST PRACTICE - I

1. Title of the practice:-

V.K.Krishna Menon College Student‘s Consumer Co-operative Society Ltd.

2. Goal:-

Co-operative society is an innovative idea, put into practise for the students to

participate and understand the concept of co-operative society.

Like the concept of laboratories for science subjects, co-operative society can be

considered as a laboratory for the commerce students, the stress being –

‗Learning by doing‘.

Main objectives of the Society were:-

To promote interpersonal skills of the students.

To subsidise cost of education by offering educational stationery at

discount to the students.

To offer practical exposure to the students by giving opportunity for

handson experience.

To promote the spirit of social welfare among the student community.

To instil sense of co-operation among students with an emphasis on

service motive.

3. The context:-

This was a unique concept in university education and hence at the

beginning, when the idea was at the verge of implementation the way forward

was not very clear. Nor was there any assurance that this experiment would be

successful or how long it will continue.

4. The practice:-

Any student or a member of the staff of the college and competent to

contract under Indian Contract Act, 1872, may become a member of the society

by subscribing to at least one share of Rs.10/- and entrance fee of Re.1/- and

agreeing to obey present bye laws.

Authorized Capital of the society is Rs.50,000/- as per bye laws. Funds

may be acquired through different sources – major among them are issue of

shares, receipt of deposits, donations, grants and gifts, interest on savings etc.

Funds generated through approved sources are disbursed for acquisition of

assets, meeting administrative and other operating expenses, commercial

activities, philanthropic activities, investment, advertising and publicity etc.

Principle of profit for social cause is followed and profit is used to give



scholarships to economically backward meritorious students. Dividend is

distributed to all shareholders in kind.

As mentioned earlier, this is a co-operative society and hence intended to

be helpful to the consumers (which in our case happens to be the students)

rather than a profit – making endeavour for the college.

As in any co-operative society a managing committee is elected for a period of

one year, with all office bearers (enclosed please find an office bearer list for the

current year as a ready reckoner) like treasurer, secretary etc.

The society is wholly looked after by the students, with a teacher being a

guardian and guide in difficulties. The Principal acts as the President.

Books, articles, various laboratory apparatus like test tube holders, aprons,

platinum wires etc. are on sale in the co-operative store, within the college.

These materials are sold much below the market price. This benefits the student

buyer. The managing committee meetings are conducted periodically and the

students undertake various functions of the society very diligently. Some of our

students are doing projects on the ‗working of V.K.K.M College student‘s co-

operative society, as part of adult and continuing education and extension

programme of the University of Mumbai.

Lockers are given to the needy students on a very nominal rate. The

students maintain the accounts and other documents of the society. The society

gives two scholarships to two meritorious and economically backward students

of both junior and senior college on the annual day of the college. The final year

students who are working as member of the managing committee are also given

scholarship during the year. Dividends are distributed among the members

(students).

Different books are maintained by the society for record like cash book,

petty cash book, bank pass book, ledger, auditors file, diary for daily deposit

and withdrawl of cash, stock register, invoice book, quotation file, sales and

purchase register, AGM minutes book, managing committee book, membership

register, dead stock register, dividend and patronage register among others.

5. Evidence of success:

V.K.K. Menon Student Consumer Co-operative Society Lt was registered

in the year 1992. Although no targets and benchmarks are kept to measure the

success of the endeavour it is easy to gauge that students over a period of time

learn to conduct meetings, keep records, calculate profits and in short occupy

position in the set up thereby achieving maturity and understanding in facing

the problem likely to be encountered in the normal functioning of the society.

Some idea of the success of the society can be gauged from the following table:-

Ltd.

6. Problems encountered and resources required:-

While forming the society all the formalities were not known, nor were the

legal implications. Creating awareness among the students was also a herculean

task.

Resources:- Ideally a room should be made available to the society. The room

should be of such dimension and with standard paraphernalia so as to be used

as an office. Sufficient racks to keep the materials (books, articles etc) to be sold

should be provided.

Apart from this basic requirement, modification and alteration according to the

need can be carried out.

BEST PRACTICE - II 1. Title of the practice:-

‗Thalassaemia Testing for the students.‘

2. Goal:-

Thalassaemia, an under detected and less understood affliction with genetic

predisposition. To bring awareness among our students regarding this condition

and the various choices that need to be made for a healthy living inspite of

having Thalassaemia, were the goals of this endeavour.

3. The Context:-

Students of our college coming mostly from the lower socio-economic strata of

the society need a supporting hand and need to be made aware of the

precaution to be taken if tested positive for Thalassaemia. This prevents

avoidable misery and extreme expenditure for treating children of the

Thalassaemia minor patients.

4. The Practice:-

Blood donation drive has been an activity regularly conducted in our college.

Students attending the blood donation drive undertake a ‗Thalassaemia‘ test

also for a mere Rs 50/-. This test otherwise would cost Rs 800/- or more

elsewhere in reputed laboratories.

Students detected with Thalassaemia minor trait are counselled as to the

precaution to be taken.

A day or two before the intended date of testing and blood donation, personnel

from Rotary Club of Worli (Mumbai) interacts with the students by visiting the



class rooms. The importance of testing is highlighted during these visits.

Examples of successful people from various fields having the Thalassaemia

traits but are leading successful lives are presented to the students, to remove

any misconception they might harbour regarding the test and the possibility of

having the affliction.

5. Evidence of success:-

On an average five students are detected with Thalassaemia Minor every year

during the testing, and they are counselled accordingly, free of cost.

6. Problems encountered and Resources required:-

Co-ordinating with a charitable institution would be of utmost

importance as this would help in bringing down the cost of testing and

counselling.

A person having knowledge about Thalassaemia would be really helpful

in conveying the importance of the test, as also the precaution that needs to be

taken in case of existing Thalassaemia trait in a student. If such a person is not

available among the staff of the college (A Biology teacher well-versed in the

genetic aspects and the different versions of the disease would be advantageous)

another such person from outside, i.e., either from the blood bank or from a

charitable institution or a medical practitioner, who has the necessary resources

in terms of time, energy and willingness need to be involved.

Necessary time and place need to be made available by the institution for

the safe conduct of all the above activities including drawing of blood, safe-

keeping, lecture rescheduling etc.
