6.1.1 – Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500words)
Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University nurtures the dream of decentralizedgovernance through participative management since its inception and no doubt,that it augments the best practices every year. The University works under
various committees wherein maximum participation is ensured ofmembers/Teachers/Students under its participative management. This year is nodifferent as university introduced following practices to further decentralize
it’s system by inclusive participation of one and all. 1. Financialdecentralization a. To facilitate the wardens of the student hostels and to
look after day to day needs of the hostels a financial power has been delegatedto them as a part of financial decentralization. This will enable to dispense
student requirements in a short span without waiting for lengthy approvalprocess. b. To ensure timely payment of scholarship and fellowship automated
linkages of their bank account is done so as to ensure hassle free transfer offellowships in the account of the research scholar on the submission of claim
form. 2. Administrative decentralization The apex authority has delegatedseveral of its power provided in the Act/Statutes of the University so that aconducive and decentralized environment is created for smooth-flow of work inthe administrative hierarchy. This intent is appreciable owing to fact thattime required in dispensing key issues is now all time low. a. The power todispense the issues pertaining to academics including admissions is delegatedto Dean Academic Affairs. b. The power of finalizing the project proposals sent
to various funding agencies is now delegated to Dean RD/ Chairman CIPP. c.Departmental committee is constituted in each of the department to take
cognizance of all the matters viz. academic, purchase related, student relatedetc. which were hitherto under the ambit of the head of the department. d. Thepower to ensure discipline among the students is delegated to the ProctorialBoard. e.

appointing qualified guestfaculty/resource persons as per UGC
norms. towards consistent improvisationin ensuring that the University at alltimes maintains an intellectual pool ofquality teachers and a highly motivated
non- academic and support staff instrict regulations with the recruitmentpolicies under the statutes of UGC and
recruitment and promotion rules ofUniversity guidelines. To incorporateindustry expertise in the academic

as employability opportunities.Research is now deemed in BBAU as notjust an extension of academic learning
but is also integrated in thecurriculum through the means of self-profiled projects, field visits, paperpresentations in conferences and surveyreports. Funding of inventive projectsand collaborations with RD initiatives
of the Government of India,establishing a Research Cell in everydepartment to facilitate students’engagement towards new learning
experiences are all strategies topromote RD.
Curriculum Development To ensure outcome based learningpedagogy in all the disciplines taught,involvement of specialists in authoringof the curriculum in a democratic way

7.1.7 – Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly (at least five)
Plantation Drive E-Rikshaw Plastic and Tobacco free campus Eradication ofhazardous weeds Promotion of use of bicycles and Every Wednesday is “No Motor
Vehicle Day
7.2 – Best Practices
7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices
I- Title of the Practice - Eco-Friendly Campus II- Objectives of the PracticeFalling along the mantras of ‘Complete Health’, ‘Tobacco and Gutka Free’ and
‘Clean and Green Campus’, effort is on to evolve the university as a role modelfor the nation. University is sure that these facilities would instill studentsa sense of confidence beside physical fitness. It would help them in becomingcomplete man so that they can withstand the challenges of life. University hasset up in a green landscaped ambience and every year around more than 10000trees are planted. The entire campus is covered with many trees, speciallyMango, Neem,Sal, Rudraksha, Dragan Fruit, Alma, Palm, Bottle Brush, Ber,
Jaamun, Drumsticks and trees, vegetation and well manicured gardens and lawns.III- The Context For the creating of ecological balance, reducing global
warming and increasing the green and pleasant environment for the teaching andresearch. Gardening Beautification Section (GBS) has been established in theuniversity having a complete infrastructure along with Executive committee
which looks after the maintaince of greenery, lawns and ourchads on the campus.The Gardening Beautification Section (G.B.S.) has developed the universitycampus in such a way that creates a conductive pleasant atmosphere in the
campus which stimulates the students and teachers to feel fresh. The section isalso involved to achieve bio- aesthetic planning of the campus. The progress istowards it by way planting of ornamental trees, shrubs, climbers and avenue
trees. The university has developed rose and Palm gardens name after its formerVice Chancellors Prof. D R. Gadekar, Prof. G. Nanchariah, Prof. B. Hanumaiah.
The university is also having Bodhi Park, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay park,Botanical Park, Bio-diversity conservation park, Horticulture Reaerch Farm-1 IIand B.voc. Field. IV- The Practice Besides the Gardening Beautification Section
(G.B.S.), the University has an active eco-club and is in the process ofconducting an internal audit. In addition, the Vice-Chancellor’s vision planfocuses extensively on increasing and enhancing our capabilities in the areasas under: Conserving Energy: Use of LED and CFL lights, Power Factor Control,Centralized VRV Air Conditioning are some of the technologies used to conserve
energy in the campus. A green campus initiative has been started by theUniversity to create awareness among students and staff about the sustainableuse of electricity. It has also conducted an audit in the Campus regarding theusage of electricity in various Departments. Harnesing solar power: Universityhas installed solar water heating systems at many places in the University,especially in the residences, Guest House and Hostels. Rain Water harvesting:The University is making provisions for Rain Water Harvesting wells in the
Campus to recharge the underground water. Rain water harvesting has been donein the existing buildings. It is also made mandatory in all the new/proposed
constructions in the University. Reducing Carbom Emission: Frequent plantationof trees, use of renewable energy, awareness for energy conservation and
adoption of energy conservation technologies are some of efforts undertaken byUniversity in its effort carbon neutrality. Developing Waste Management System:• Hazardeous Waste Management - Proper waste management techniques have been
adopted for all types of wastes. The University is a zero-effluentorganization. In the University hospital and health service, color codeddustbins are delineated for specific type of waste. There is a huge fullyfunctional incinerator capable of handling 200 kg/day of waste. Unviersity
follows Twin Bin System. • E-waste management - For e-waste management BBAU hasinitiated the process of establishing an e-waste management system to ensurethat e-waste is properly stored and given to agency for the disposal. As
Lucknow capital of Uttar Pradesh is an educational/Information Technology hub,the University is surrounded by schools and colleges. In some instances,
photocopying machines and other office peripherals are replaced under buy-backschemes. V- Evidance of Success: The University regularly conducts awareness
programs on environmental issues. University has conducted number of workshopsand seminars on Waste Management (Hazardous and E-Waste), Rain Water
harvesting, Energy Conservation, and Water quality management. The Universityhas an “Eco-Club” which provides a platform to engage students in environmentrelated activities with the help of Department of Environmental Science andMicrobiology of this University. University has provided cycles to the staff
and faculty members. Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor is leading from the front in thisregard and setting himself as a role model by using bicycle in the universitycampus. Couple with this, the campus is declared ‘Tobacco and Gutka Free’’
underpinning the health hazards related to the consumption of such substances.Anyone, including teachers, karamcharis and students found using these
substances in the university campus will be levied a fine. Along with it, useof helmet is also compulsory in the campus and violation of the rule againexposes the culprit for imposition of penalty. VI- Problems encountered and
Resources required Lucknow being eastern district the climate remains very hotduring summer hence during summers the problem of survival of plants is very
big. The GBS section is taking care of this problem through green housetechnology. Best Practice II I- Title of the Practice “Leveraging Informationtechnology for Communication and Knowledge Management” II- Objectives of the
Practice ? To ensure that the University leverages its IT resources andcapabilities to create an appropriate identity. ? To ensure that all the
stakeholders have access to timely and updated information. ? To provide anopportunity to all staff and Department to create a knowledge management
system. ? To provide all staff and students with a window to the world. ? Toprovide parents with timely and updated information regarding their wards. ? Toprovide prospective students, employees and employers to virtually experience
the BBAU brand. ? To initiate steps for bringing in e-governance in theUniversity administration.. III- The Context: Multiple programs, expectation ofstakeholders and technology options make management of higher education sites amajor challenge. Websites and information management systems are high-valueassets and they should be given priority and actively managed instead of
updating it in an ad hoc manner. Information management must be an ongoingprocess, not a one-time project. Prospective students, employers, employees,parents, alumni and other stakeholders visit the website and it will be theirfirst contact and impression of the University. Failure to effectively managethe web presence may eventually affect employability of BBAU graduates andrankings. IV- The Practice: The University has appointed a cross functionalteam consisting of experts from various faculties and designated a team whichhas been given overall accountability for the website. Content development andmaintenance has been decentralized but the overall control of programming restswith a single individual who along with the committee is tasked to provide an
ongoing and holistic perspective to the web presence. Major practices forensuring web presence: a) Students Centric The University ensures the use ofICT in admission procedure by applying online admission. The entrance test
conducted through Computer Based Test and the results are generated immediatelyafter the conduct of the entrance examination and displayed on the universitywebsite. The information about department, faculty course programmes syllabusetc, all are available for students on the website. Students attendance is
ensured through Biometric system in the Departments and informations regardingvarious academic/competitive programmes, scholarship and fellowships for thestudents are also avaialble under public notice board/Students corner/COE
Section. Library has various digital services to cater the needs of studentsand faculties. The results of the end semester examinations are declared onlineand every student can have his/her grade sheet by entering roll number on the
portal of examination section. b) Teaching and Non Teaching Informationregarding University through various Notices/Circulars/Office Orders are
uploaded on the University website. The employee number has been generated foraccessing the university website for getting all the informations. Further, theinformations are also sent to the concerned teaching and non-teaching throughinstitutional email ID. Salary slips/ GPF Statements and Income Tax details are
uploaded on the Finance Section portal which is available at www.bbauhr.inOnline File Tracking system, Leave Module and automated Email and SMS
facilities are availe for the University employees for fulfilling its objectiveof less paper university. c) Community Centric To reach the masses, the
university ensures its information to be published through social media, newspaper along with its own portal. The social media such as Instagram, Face Book,Twitter, Youtube, Whatsapp are disseminating the university activities, eventsand information regarding admissions, recruitments, tenders to the community atlarge. Various links are also available in the university website.
