are also held with Heads of the Departments to ascertain the effectiveness of the

student‟s facilitative system. When found inadequate, appropriate actions are

initiated to rectify the areas of default. The assessment of teachers, department and

infrastructure available to students would further help the college to track the

progressions. The following activities are conducted for tracking the student

progression.

Skill development programmes

Programmes organized to prepare them for Jobs

Remedial classes for slow learners

Participation in cultural, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

Regular feedback from students on teachers and curriculum

Best Practice

Title of Practice: Green Campus Initiative- Planting of Saplings

Goal

To increase environmental awareness among students, staff of the college.

To minimize the environmental pollution in and around college campus.

To take up rain harvesting.

To use renewable energy resource using solar energy.

To support and implement clean campus

The Context

Clean environment is the basic necessity for human being for health and efficiency. Mostly

limited availability of public transport compelled increased use of personal vehicles which is

one of the reasons to increase pollution in and around campus. Chemical experimentation in

the college laboratories emits greenhouse gases (GHG). It adds to the environmental

pollution. Water is scarce natural resource hence needs to be used rationally. Solar energy can

be the potential replacement for conventional electricity.

The Practice

The Green Campus Initiative practices are as follows:

The College took the initiative for the academic year 2014-2015. Two solar panels have been

installed at roof top. Using these solar panels we are providing the hot water to the students in

the hostel. The backup of this system is about 6 hours per day. Solar Distillation Plant having

distillation capacity 5000 litre capacity tank is installed. Department of Physics has taken

initiative in starting renewable energy course as one of the specialized. UPS have also been

installed in the campus where even if electricity goes, the computers and other labs work

without any interruption.

Evidence of Success

Electricity failure will not affect the running of equipments and light along with water during

the period of power cut by BESCOM due to solar system installation and UPS. Electricity

bills are reduced and we have achieved 50 per cent power saving with discount in the

electricity bill. Continuous water supply is available even during the period of water scarcity.

Problem of disposal of garbage is solved where the BBMP person will regularly visit and

take the waste material.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

These activities have been initiated based on the available funds and those could be further

enhanced upon receiving funding for the same.
