student support and governance. Some of the important innovations are as under:

A) Academic Innovations ➢

Mentor-Mentee system Mentor-Mentee system is adopted for welfare of the students. Each teacher is

mentor of around 30-40 students. These mentors take care of the students‟ academic needs, problems (personal and academic) and provide a possible solution to them. Some special cases are referred to counselling cell of the college. The mentor monitors the progress of each student. Parents are encouraged to contact mentors regarding academic progress and other co-curricular and extracurricular activities of their wards. ➢

Introduction of Teacher‟s diary:

College has initiated the practice of maintaining teacher‟s diary which includes information about preparation and execution of teaching plan, extracurricular activities, research publications, faculty development programs, leave record etc. This facilitates Teachers in self-monitoring

Principal and management in continuous monitoring of teachers. B) Teaching and Learning Smart boards are used for improved teaching techniques. Being user

friendly, these are helpful in digitalization of handwriting, on the spot editing of power point presentations, for better explanations, to have access to internet; so that the global knowledge can be disseminated in the class room pertaining to the topic of discussion.

Emphasis on the learner centric approaches like role play, digital lectures, educational CDs etc.

qualities of leadership, team spirit, sportsman spirit through extracurricular
