Annexure III: Best Practices 1
Best Practice 1
Title of the Practice: Alumni as Potential Resource
Goal: To share the knowledge resources of the alumni for the benefit of the student
population of the discipline.
Context:
Former students are the knowledge capital of any higher education institution and
reconnecting with them to the currently enrolled students of the same institution and
discipline is one of the fundamental tasks of any institution. This realization form the basis of
the occasional visit of the alumni and the impact of the interaction with students is the
context of origin of this practice. It was successfully practiced in the Department of English
besides others and IQAC suggested that this be made a best practice.
Practice:
Practice involves the location of the alumni and identification of the achievement, whatever it
br, and providing an opportunity for the interaction. This practice should make use of the
knowledge dimension of the process allowing a space for the memories and nostalgia of the
revisit of the former student. Payyanur College was able to practice it extremely well and in
the sense that the college brings into its fold internationally known scientists like S.S.
Bhatnagar award winner Satheesh C Raghavan of IISc and P Kunhikrishnan, Project Director
of Programmes, PSLV, ISRO besides other very talented people.
Evidence of Success:
The practice was very successful as students could interact with world-renowned young
scientists and national and international figures who are former students. A visible change in
some of the students is the signal that they believed that they could also dream of attaining
such results. Some of the students joined institutions of repute like IISc and some faculty
members were able to collaborate also.
Challenges:
Eminent scientists have very little time to spare.
Best Practice 2
Title of the Practice: Preserving Cultural Heritage
Aim: To preserve tradition and connect the present generation to the art performance of the
folk and classical artists.
Context: Malayalam department has the bounden duty to preserve local culture and
familiarize the young generation to the performance of folk art. That is one way of
preserving cultural diversity. The association with the folk lore and teaching and research
experiences of the faculty led to this determination to take up the challenge.
PNRC AQAR 2014-15 Page 41
Practice: Involves the arrangement for the presentation of the folk arts in the campus.
Location and identification of the artists and art forms, making arrangements for the
performances which are mostly rituals are the rest of the task.
Evidence of Success: The performance and the conducting of the programme itself are the
signs of success. Folk art forms which have no space at all are given space for performance
and a community of young audience in a modern institution make the very attempt a success.
Challenges:
The greatest challenge is the arrangement for the practice as it involves ritualistic aspects,
time preferences and elaborate make-up. The accompaniments are not easy to transport and
an institution may not be able to afford a band of folk artists from a distant place.
