International collaborations in action research on ground water contamination

continued. The double R.O. arsenic filter from University of Advanced Sciences,

Karlsruhe, Germany, was fitted with solar batteries, so that the Maner village

community received uninterrupted supply of clean drinking water at a cheaper cost

of 12 p. per litre only. The villagers maintain the filter through the fund generated,

while monitoring work is conducted by the research faculty and students of Dept. of

EWM. Similarly, there was an affirmative community response to the gravity-based

arsenic filter invented by Le High University, Pa, USA. Our Students and visiting

European students working in these villages also conducted clean water awareness

programs, and were hosted by the villagers during their entire field work.

NSS organized a Healthy Check-up camp for slum children in Panch Hanuman

Slum, Hardinge Road, on 14/8/2013.A small cultural program was also conducted

for the children. On 24/9/2013, Blood Donor cards were distributed to economically

backward people in Jayaprabha Hospital. On Gandhi Jayanti, 2013, a Blood

Donation Camp was organized in the college campus. NCC cadets assisted NSS in

all these activities.

Criterion – VII

7. Innovations and Best Practices

7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact on the

functioning of the institution. Give details.

7.2 Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at the

beginning of the year

In the period between 2nd

. Week of April 2014 to last week of May 2014, the college campus was

taken over by the Election Commission of India. This campus is converted into the Counting centre

of all parliamentary constituencies in and around Patna during elections. Recognizing the

importance of elections in our democracy, the teaching and non-teaching staff took up the challenge,

and resolved to engage classes in the coming summer vacations, to make up for loss of teaching

during elections. The college administration spared no efforts either, to restore the college

infrastructure at the earliest and normalize curricular and co-curricular activities post elections.

The targets set by the IQAC at the beginning of the academic year had been delayed on account of

the entire campus being taken over by Election Commission of India for installing voting booths,

EVM storage rooms and votes counting centre. A large number of departments, buildings and

playgrounds could not be accessed, and all college activities came to a standstill in the first part of

2014. After the college possession was restored to the Principal by end of May 2014, a huge initiative

had to be taken to make the college functional at the earliest, and then proceed with the preparation

of DRP for the 3rd

. cycle of CPE scheme.

1. Teaching and examination work: Faculty members unanimously agreed to take , and

therefore engaged, extra classes during summer vacations in June to make up for loss of

teaching. Magadh University accordingly rescheduled examinations to later dates.

2. Research Activities: There were more submissions of research project proposal to funding

authorities. An international project sponsored by Erasmus Mundus India4EU program with

joint collaboration with Dept. of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, TU Delft, The

Netherlands, was accorded to Dept. of EWM, A.N.College. This multidisciplinary Project

work on understanding the mechanism of arsenic mobilization in ground water of Bihar has

begun, and joint publications and presentations of findings are being executed. Faculty and

student exchanges under the EU’s Erasmus initiative has been active- A.N.College is the

partnering institution in one such program, and an associate institution in another. The

international exchanges are motivating more students to serious research work.

Teaching and Research work in Physics and Mathematics were augmented with necessary

software, hardware and peripherals with grants made available under UGC’s “additional

assistance scheme”.

3. Student support: A separate admission forms collection Centre and an Enquiry Counter were

established next to the Administrative Building to cope with the rush during admission

time.

4. Repair & renovation: The process of lab.-upgradation, purchase of books and equipment

under the HRD, Govt. of Bihar’s “Centre of Excellence scheme “, that were in last phase,

were delayed, and permission was sought from HRD to extend the deadline of these work

into the next academic year. HRD complied to this request. The old power supply lines were

changed upon request to the State Electricity Board, and arrangement for installation of an

electricity transformer finalized.

5. Infrastructure maintenance: The Election protocol demanded sealing up of many classrooms

for storing the EVMS. Hence, college authorities had first to remove the barricades, clean

classroom areas, and put back the desks and benches, repair electric fittings and fixtures,

before extra classes could begin in June. This work was completed within one week. The

repairing of boundary walls was completed, and clean drinking water supply sources


7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please see the format in the NAAC Self-study Manuals)

*Provide the details in annexure (annexure need to be numbered as i, ii,iii)

7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection

7.5 Whether environmental audit was conducted? Yes No

7.6 Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT Analysis)

1. A new faculty of Education to conduct B.Ed degree course under Magadh

University was initiated, thereby increasing the diversity of faculties.

2. Community interactions increased both through outreach programs as well as

through multi-disciplinary action research under UGC, UNICEF, DST and

other sponsorships).

Two types of contribution to environmental awareness were undertaken:

By NSS students through plantation drives in and outside the campus, and by

cleanliness campaigns.

By students of A.N.College, Patna, through forming human chains on World

Environment Day World Water Day, and through field visits to rural areas as a

part of their project work.

A.N. COLLEGE, PATNA

AQAR 2013-14

Assessment of feedback forms

Students’ Feedback

Student respondents belonged to conventional and

vocational courses, both of UG and PG classes. The

conventional course students generally appreciated

teaching and communication skills of the permanent

teachers manning the departments. They agreed that

these teachers were fairly good motivators, and

counsellors. Students generally reported to be in the

“comfort zone” with them while having discussions in

class. The girl students responded by stating that although

such teachers commanded awe and respect, they could

interact more freely with the lady teachers. This inhibition

perhaps is a reflection of the existing social mores and

gender segregation common in traditional Indian society.

However, students appreciated that there was no

discrimination by any teacher in and outside class.

Students of vocational courses opined in the same vein as

above. All the respondents had favourable comments on

the depth of knowledge and the power of communication

that the guest faculty (retired teachers, professional and

visiting teachers) possessed. Students rued the fact that

only limited number of classes were engaged by such

peers.

The students were not satisfied with the course

curriculum and wished that updating of the syllabi was

done frequently by the university. They also resented

suspension of classes during university examinations, as

this way the courses could not be completed.


Parents’/Guardians’ Feedback

Most of the students of this college come from humble

backgrounds. The motivation of the parents in getting

their wards admitted was the achievements of this college

that gets highlighted in newspapers, and well-maintained

spacious campuses well as the various facilities being

provided by this premier college.. The down-to-earth

ambience of the college help the parents and guardians

relate the fulfilment of their dreams for their wards’

future with this college. They appreciate that every year,

from among its students, the college identifies and

showcases the talented ones as future leaders in

curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular fields. It is the

faith that parents and guardians repose on A.N.College

that has

enabled this institution to take giant strides towards

excellence in higher education and research.

Alumni Feedback

The ex-students’ usual pleasant observations are, “This

was not there in our times!” or “When was this put up?”

The above gives a fair picture of how the college has

developed from its humble beginnings 6 decades ago.

However, when requested to fill the feedback form, most

of them cautiously stated that they would go around the

campus and then pen their observations on the form. The

Alumni thus are our best sounding board. They -

Admired the growth of the institution,

especially the well-equipped labs. of the

vocational courses, and the new

infrastructure in the old departments.

Appreciated the greening of the campus.

Credited the Staff and students for a

harmonious academic environment.


Were happy at the large number of

students being admitted to various

departments

Were impressed by the upgradation work

of the central library and the college gym

Pledged their support in individual

capacities to their alma mater, especially in

assisting students with internship tenures

and placements.

They identified areas of weakness as thus:

o The upkeep of playgrounds need attention,

and sports activities should be streamlined

with a Physical Instructor at the helm.

o The college canteen required improvement

both in appearance and food quality

o Repeated disruption of classes for

elections, examinations, etc. were

retarding the annual work schedules,

which the authorities should to attend to.

o There was tremendous scope for further

streamlining the functioning of this college.
