OBJECTIVES
The "objectives of the college" as framed following the policies of the Governments, UGC, and

OUR EMBLEM
Rationale of the Emblem
The logo of the college has on its top the words from Srimad Bhagavatham: Sathyam Param
Dheemahi (which means Let us meditate on the Absolute Truth)
The full sloka goes like this:
Let us meditate on the supreme Lord of the nature of Truth, Who, by his self-effulgence, always
dispels falsity of every nature, From whom the creation, sustenance and dissolution of their
entire universe proceed and which is indicated by his presence in all the created entities
beginning from Akasha and His absence in all the totally nonexistent entities like sky-lotus,
hare‟s horn etc., who is omniscient (all-knowing), who revels in his own glory, who made
Brahma realize the Vedas through his mind which are stupefying even for the great souls, in
whom the creation which is caused by three-fold Maya (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) appears to be true
(though not in reality) just as Fire, Water and Earth appear in one another (as in a mirage).
The college logo also contains a symbol which was used as the official logo of the erstwhile
Travancore Kings. The traditional lamp and an open book too find a place in the logo.
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 12
The emblem, together with the motto is symbolic of the ideals the college stands for. The open
book represents the reception and assimilation of knowledge which liberates the individual from
the debilitating shackles of ignorance and incapacity. But the growth and evolution of the
individual through education is not seen as an end in itself. The training, both academic and co-
curricular, seeks to foster in the students a keen awareness of their social role as well-integrated
members of their communities armed with the skills to contribute positively to change.
The symbols take a new dimension of meaning in connection with the people in the backward
area. The wisdom from learning dispels the darkness of ignorance like a lighted candle and it
signifies that the learning one receives at the institution is not to be kept to oneself but to be
disseminated to the community.

CURRICULUM PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
As a catalyst of social change, the college is heading towards the academic excellence in fine
tune with its vision and mission. In the backdrop of the well-articulated vision and mission, the
college is setting a clear foundation for its academic functions through the explicit terminals like
PTA, College Websites, Induction workshops etc., the college is carrying out its regular
functioning in tune with the norms and guidelines issued by the parent university. In order to
address the traditional issues of academic exercise, the college has vetted with the Choice Based
Credit Semester System and has attained incredible results. The college is also embracing the
Continuous Evaluation system to keep a close track of surveillance on the academic development
of students. The administration of syllabi is under the regular supervision of HoDs and the
academic council. Besides, the college is very sensitive to the academic and social events on a
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 13
global perspective. The college ensures a holistic development model for the students through
the conduct of various cells and clubs. The highlights include ED club and Nature club. The
college is under the supervision of university of Kerala and the Directorate of Collegiate
Education. Our teachers are enriched with the regular update of knowledge from the experts of
the discipline. From the national agencies too, the college gets enough institutional and financial
support. The college has become part of the knowledge highway with necessary bandwidth
facilities. The college facilitates FDPs and Minor and Major Research Projects. The members of
our teaching fraternity have come up luminous with many national and international exposures in
training through different upgrading agencies like FLAIR.
TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION
The college is a state-owned entity affiliated to the University of Kerala. The admission process,
procedures and modalities are strictly in tune with the National Education Policy. To ensure the
specific execution of this programme, the University has floated a platform which is fully online.
The candidates with prescribed qualification can log in to the University portal where they can
upload the details of their claims. The systems will shortlist the candidates after caring all the
reservation norms and quotas. This system insulates the entire admission procedure from
favoritism and bias. Obviously, the transparency aspect is well taken care of. The reservations
and weightage are in strict adherence of the government rules and regulations. Admissions to the
continuing education cell are not an exception to the general practice. Online admission enables
the University to address the grievances and anomalies as and when it raises. The track record of
the college and University endorse that this is a flawless exercise. In case of knowledge gap for
the new students, in house arrangements are made to bridge the gaps by providing intensive
crash classes. The college uses all the modern teaching and learning logistics in its premises.
State - of the - art labs and smart class rooms are adding colour to this endeavor. The college on
special occasions invites experts and professionals to enlighten the students on specific areas
which include medicines, law, accountancy, environment and other life skills.
STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESS
The college is always on a pursuit of polishing the academic competence. In tune with demands
in academic circle, the college is grooming its attire attractively in every academic year in the
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 14
form of changed prospectus and handbooks. Under the guidance of DCE, the college is
undertaking various co-scholastic activities to bridge vital gaps in learning–teaching exercise and
their career orientation. It is pertinent to mention some programmes of Directorate of Collegiate
(DCE) Education like Walk with a Scholar (WWS) for the refinement of their employability
along the course content. The programme is undertaken at college level with stipulated grant and
is looked after by a co-ordinator. In the programme, internal mentoring and external mentoring
are devoted to increase their core-competencies in the subjects and skills required for a bright
future. The programme also envisages motivational aspects like selection of higher education
courses, areas of interest and the required attitude building measures in each core course. The
DCE also flagships programmes like Fostering Linkages in Academic Innovations and Research
(FLAIR) and Additional Skill Acquisition programme (ASAP). Our college has meticulously
tailored these programmes in the teaching schedules. No wonder that our alumini have bagged
much from their alma mater. The college is giving a platform to the eligible students for availing
themselves of various scholarships and grants from different funding agencies. The college has
successfully disbursed these funds during the previous years. The beneficiaries of the
scholarships account for 80 percentage of total intake. All the scholarships are intended to uplift
social and physical backwardness among students. The college is committed to mould our youth
into budding entrepreneurs. To this end, the college has instituted Entrepreneurial Development
Club under the sponsorship of Ministry of Industries and Trade. The college is making all the
efforts in providing coaching for the competitive exams. In fact the college envisages an
atmosphere in the campus that will comfortably fetch a job soon after its completion. The
students of the college are particularly trained to take up real challenges in their social and
personal life. Towards this, the college is conducting classes that build psycho-social competence
as laid down by the United Nations on soft skills.
GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Management of the college is vested in the hands of DCE. The Principal, being the executive
officer implement the policies and guidelines of government. The day-to-day management of the
college is carried out by the Principal and an elected Council of Staff from different departments.
The policy statement is well communicated and plan of actions are chalked out by the council.
The council formulates major policy and the procedures at higher levels, but the different HoDs
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 15
are given operational autonomy in executing those. The college is supported with an Internal
Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to orient the general members of the college with the quality
bench marks. This cell is playing a vital role in deciphering the mission and vision of the college.
The college conducts various programmes funded by the national agency to uphold the national
integration values. The college management is subject to evaluation and monitoring by the DCE.
The DCE has all the authority for audit on accounts and operational efficiency. Thus, the college
is under multiple surveillances so that it can hardly face a crisis. The college is not enjoying a
full -fledged infrastructure or amenities of international standards, but it is always in a pursuit to
acquire it through proposals for hostel facilities, compound wall, play ground, library cum
conference hall and additional UG and PG programmes.
INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
The college is committed towards the sensational issues on environment. The college is
designing its developmental activities by giving minimum disturbance to the environment. The
students in the college are really concerned about their stake in this issue. The local governance
including office administration is trying hard towards a „paper free‟ office. The college has
declared its premises plastic-free and the awareness has provided to all. The college premise is
going to get converted in to a lush green campus. The medicinal plants and the rich knowledge
of traditional predicament is much spread in the air of the campus. A sense of hygiene and
cleanliness is taught to the students at all the possible opportunities so that the campus is kept
litter free and serene. The college is fostering an e-learning culture in the ambience of
INFLIBNET. The fraternity of teachers and students are tapping this resource for their mutual
benefits. The students of the campus are taught a sense of philanthropic attitude by motivating
them to donate blood to the needy people in the locality. Awareness camps are conducted at
regular intervals to instill the values of Good Samaritan. In order to ensure a comprehensive
surveillance system, the department of each discipline is maintaining a student personal profile
registering their academic, personal and career objectives. The IQAC has instituted a digital
feedback Performa in which the students can rate the teaching system on a five point scale. This
is conducted on a confidential platform to ensure professional up gradation.

All the students who are admitted in an academic year are members of the library.
Apart from printed books, reference texts, magazines, journals, newspapers are available
in the library
The e-library (Inflibnet) concept has enabled the students to manipulate and extract latest
and modern information and data utilizing e-resources.
The students are provided a learning atmosphere, and are permitted to lend book
regulated by the norms of the college library.
However, reference texts are meant to be read and referred within the library.

quality of education imparted to the learners. The performance of the students are closely
observed and scrutinized and remedial measures are taken if necessary.
The feedbacks obtained from the students provide the necessary impetus for the teachers
to understand the students and to comprehend their proficiency skills in teaching. The
feedbacks are collected by the teachers in every semester.
The comprehensive evaluation of the teachers by the students is an effective scheme to
analyze and assess the personality of the faculty. Moreover, it also provides an
opportunity for the faculty to eliminate negative traits, if any and to improve their
tutoring ability.
The PTA meetings held regularly enable the teachers to comprehend the learners and
identify the corrective methods to be adopted for negating the shortcomings.

The academic and personal counseling is systemized through the teacher -ward system. Every
class is entrusted to the special care of a tutor – invariably of the same department – for
mentoring. The teacher ward system builds a good rapport between the students and teacher-in-
charge. The tutor understands their problems and tries to resolve them. Students are free to meet
their tutors at any time during office hours. Besides, meeting of tutors and their wards has been
NAAC SSR 2016

made an institutional system for regular and sustained participation of teachers in academic and
personal counseling. We have a mechanism to redress any possible grievance from students and
staff. To address students‟ woes the mechanism functions at two levels. Every department has a
Grievance Redressal Cell that consists of the HoD, the tutors and two senior members of the faculty.
Students are free to approach the cell for getting their grievances redressed.
Principal is the chairman of the institutional level Grievance Redressal Cell. The committee consists
of three senior members of the faculty from the staff council and the superintendent of the college
office. If any charge remains unsolved at the departmental level, students can register it for the
consideration at the college level cell. Usually the grievances are solved at the first level itself. A
foolproof knowledge of the system and transparency in its implementation leave no room for
grievances. The cell for addressing grievances of the staff is formed with two members nominated by
the Committee, two senior staff members and the Principal as chairman. The staff can lodge their
complaints before this committee. The staff can also bring their unsettled grievances before
College Grievances Committee for final hearing and disposal.
An Anti-Ragging Committee has also been constituted in the college to prevent the practice of
ragging of any kind and the complaints regarding it if any.
A Canteen has been set up in collaboration with Kudumbashree in the college premise to supply
hygienic food to the staff and students at subsidized rates.

The IQAC plays a crucial role in connecting and coordinating the various bodies in this institute
especially in the matters related to the teaching – learning process. It functions as an umbrella
organ engaging and interacting with all other systems in materializing its goals and objectives.
The IQAC took a lead role in the preparation of the Self Study Report for Accreditation and will

The IQAC acts as a change agent of the Institution. Promoting quality initiatives by motivating
the Departments, organizing training programmes, encouraging faculty in participating in
National/International academic programmes and helping the Institution in maintaining a
favorable learning environment are the prime functions undertaken by the IQAC. It has been
instrumental in introducing quality parameters in different academic and administrative policies
of the Institution. It efficiently monitor timely coverage of the portions, the semester plan
preparation, implementing an effective tutorial system, conduct of class PTA and department
alumni meetings and record of Teachers‟ Work Diary. Periodic progress in Continuous
Evaluation is also being monitored.

Administrative Activities
The Principal is the academic and administrative head of the institution. In order to assist her
there are several committees including IQAC to have an integrated framework for quality
assurance of the academic and administrative activities. The committees constituted consist of
representatives from teaching, non teaching staff and the students. This is to ensure participatory
and democratic interaction from all the main stakeholders. All the committees are given
permission to formulate their own strategies for implementing the decisions formulated by the
Principal. The decentralized mode of administration proves effective during the execution of
quality assurance measures initiated by the IQAC.

Statistical cell and departments and analyzed by IQAC. Copies of semester plan prepared by
individual teachers are forwarded to the IQAC through the Department Heads and the committee
closely monitors the progress of the plan. IQAC also keeps track of the timely and committed
coverage of the lessons. Besides this, the Head of the Institution collects informal feedback from
students
Staff Council meetings are convened especially for the review of the internal examination
results. All teachers have to submit their score sheets to the HOD before the commencement of
the meeting. During the meeting, results of each Department are discussed and comparisons with
the external results are made. Deliberations during the meetings are implemented at institution
level for betterment of the teaching learning process.

CRITERION VII
INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness
7.1.1 Does the institution conduct a Green Audit of its campus?
The institution is highly committed in protecting and preserving the environment and
inculcating environmental consciousness among the students and staff. The college has
no permanent system of environmental audit. However, the institution has conducted an
audit of the vegetation on the campus in 2015 and a record of the same is maintained and
the botanical names are displayed on the trees.
Efforts are taken to study the plants available in the surrounding areas of the college and
the community is made aware of the sustenance and importance of rare species especially
the medicinal plants.
7.1.2- What are the initiative taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?
Energy Conservation
The college is ensuring minimal energy consumption through various measures of energy
conservation. All the classrooms are well ventilated and having enough natural light.
Hence the use of fans and lights are at the minimal level. Continuous awareness is been
given to students on the need for energy conservation. The class leaders are given charge
to verify whether lights and fans are switched off when not in need. Sign boards on
energy conservation have been displayed in various parts of the college premises. The
staff members are also advised to reduce energy consumption.
The students are made conscious of the solar energy source to use it in their homes and
the community at large .The college office and Principal‟s room are powered by solar
energy. The college canteen functions with the aid of biogas plant and agricultural need
of the campus is met with the slurry from biogas plant .The college hosts regular
programmes to instill the messages on the need and importance of nonconventional
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 169
energy sources. The college is keen on educating the students regarding the harmful
effects of plastic. The college has also declared as a „plastic free zone‟.
Efforts for reducing the use of paper
Use of electronic forms is promoted in order to reduce the use of paper. Students are
advised to submit the draft copies of projects in soft format in order to reduce paper
consumption. The governance of the college is transformed to an electronic mode. All the
communications are made through this operating system. The broad aim of college
administration in the short run is to make the office as paper free as possible, and a paper
free zone in the long run. The latest technology has been implemented on the campus and
it is made available to the student community in supervised ambiance, hence the campus
tends to use relatively less volumes of paper.
Water conservation
Even though being a state which receives an average rainfall of 3000 millimetre per year,
Kerala is facing severe water scarcity in summer season. The college is taking
appropriate measures for water conservation. Students are made aware of the need of
conserving water. The NSS units of the college take a lead role in this regard. Boards are
displayed nearby all water taps to reduce the use of water.
It is also proposed to install water harvesting facility in the college campus .The message
is being given to students regarding the importance of water conservation. The natural
pond water in the campus is properly used for gardening and agricultural purposes.
Efforts are taken to spread the messages on the importance of water conservation and the
college celebrates the World Water Day on 22nd
March every year. The college intends to
create a generation of students who are ecologically responsible.
Plastic-free campus:
The campus is declared as „plastic-free‟. Use of plastic is strictly restricted on the
campus. Students are advised not to bring plastic carry bags into the campus. The policy
of “refuse, reduce and reuse” is promoted on the campus. Separate bins are kept on the
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 170
campus to collect plastic materials. Use of flex boards is also discouraged and cloth
banners and paper posters are promoted inside the campus. Students are advised to follow
a plastic free culture in their homes too.
Workshops and seminars are conducted in the college to make students aware of the
hazards of using plastics. Participation of local body leaders are also over whelming in
such workshops and seminars. The college always endeavors to reduce the volume of e-
waste in the college premises. It is pertinent to mention that a group of self motivated
students are working hard to decipher the importance of waste management system.
Medicinal Plants
Kerala is a land of ayurvedic legends. The state is bestowed with rich verities of
medicinal plants and blessed with rare knowledge. To tap this potential segment, the
college administration has meticulously designed a medicinal plant garden. Medicinal
plants are planted in front of the college. Nearly 100 varieties of plants have been planted
and their names are displayed. Students are also advised to collect more medicinal plants
and set up gardens at their homes. NSS volunteers and the members of Nature Club took
a lead role in the setting up of medicinal plants garden. Medicinal plant exhibition
conducted annually which has attracted students from neighboring institutions and public
from all walks of life.
Litter Free Campus
The college is very sensitive to the „Swatchh bharath abhiyan” mission. A clean
surrounding can certainly increase the quality of the learning atmosphere. To attain this
end, the campus is declared as litter free. Boards displaying this message are placed on
the campus. Waste bins in separate colours are kept in different corners of the campus for
bio degradable and non-degradable wastes to create a sense of cleanliness in the minds of
students. The common practice of spitting in the college premises is warned through
pictograms. The ultimate objective is to establish serene litter free eco-friendly campus.

7.2 Innovations
Community reach programme
Community reach programmes are organized under various banners. The college NSS
unit is continuously organizing various community reach programmes like medical
camps, blood donation camps, coaching and awareness classes etc. various departments,
clubs and other organisations of the students and faculty members are also actively
involved in community extension services. Support and financial aids are provided to the
needy poor people in the surrounding areas. Besides, the college has a unique system of
approaching the community reach programme. Each department has tailored their own
social activities by incorporating their academic pursuits. For example, the Department of
Zoology has made an awareness programme for explaining the rationale behind banning
trawling during the monsoon season. It has helped the localites to understand to co–
operate with the policies of the government.
NSS unit of the college provided books to neighbouring U.P School. Toys for play school
students are given to neighbouring „Anganvadi‟. In association with RCC, the NSS unit
made an oral cancer detection programme. Health surveys are done for providing
awareness classes to Life style diseases. In association with Kidney Foundation,

Collaborating with IMA, the NSS unit donates blood more than three times a year. NSS
unit, as a part of student skill development, prepared pickles and marketed it in the brand
name „Campus Ruchi’.
INFLIBNET
As part of National Information Policy of the Govt. of India, the college is also extending
internet access to students and teachers by providing with high bandwidth facilities. The
teaching community is sharpening their skills in teaching by using various web sites and
INFLIBNET. Teachers and students were encouraged to access INFLIBNET and NLIST

extent. This has helped in the easy search of modern developments in the teaching
learning process besides the collection of materials at the least effort.
Blood Donation campaign
Blood donation is one of the most counted philanthropic activities. The college is
committed in moulding a generation who can be much helpful for the needy. Every year
the college is arranging blood donation camps. These camps are organized on the campus
by the NSS units. A directory of the students who are willing to donate blood is kept with
the NSS programme officers. Students, teachers and office staff are always available for
blood donation. The college often caters to the demands from the sub centre of RCC
functioning near the college. Blood collection camps are organized on the campus quite
frequently with the help of the Mobile Blood Bank under the IMA. In the camp held in
last academic year around 100 students donated their blood.

NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 173
Student Feedback System
A well designed teaching-learning system must have rooms for evaluation .Unlike the
traditional one way evaluation, in our college we have provisions for evaluating the
teaching system. The teaching system includes teacher and related logistics. A student
feedback system has been successfully implemented in the college. At the end of every
academic year, a feedback from students is collected in a prescribed format. Through this,
the students are given chance to evaluate their teaching system on a rating scale. The
feedback from the students about each teacher is collected and coded with the help of
computer, the results are given to the respective teachers. The system helps teachers to
improve their quality of teaching as well as developing a healthy and good relation with
the student community.
Sick Room
Our students occasionally experience sickness and other health problems. To face such
issues the college has set up a sick room with essential facilities for retiring in case of
illness. A room with proper lighting and ventilation is arranged for the purpose. First Aid
equipments, emergency medicines, wheel chair, stretcher trolley, cot etc. are available in
the sick room. In case of emergency expert services are made available.
NET / competitive exams Coaching:
Coaching for UGC NET and JRF examination is provided for the PG Students. Students
are made aware of the examinations from the beginning of the course itself. The teachers
in the department and external faculty members offer various coaching sessions. Books,
materials and internet resources are also made available to students. The PG Department
of Mathematics is providing NET/GATE coaching in evening sessions. IT skill
development programmes for UG students are given by a team of teachers with computer
knowledge. Communicative skill development classes are provided by English
department with the aid of language lab. Both internal and external mentoring sessions
are provided to selected students under the banner Walk With a Scholar Programme. The
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 174
objective of the programme is to ensure the overall development and enhance
employability of students.
Internal Examination System
The college conducts a full-fledged internal examination at the end of each semester. The
question pattern, conduct and evaluation are exactly those of university examinations so
that the students get a good opportunity to prepare for their end semester university
examination. Printouts of model question papers are provided to students at free of cost.
Regular class test are done to assess the comprehensive level of students and to assure
their academic progress. Weaker students are supported under SSP. After the internals,
the grades of the students are intimated to the students for their betterment. Based on their
previous academic grades a profile of each student is maintained in the department and it
enable the college for ongoing assessment system.
7.3. Best Practices.
7.3.1. Title : Care and Share
As a college where most of the students belong to the poor socio economic background, it was
felt by the teachers and staff that at least some of these students are provided with financial
support. By way of e-grants and scholarships the government already provides financial
assistance to the economically poor and meritorious students. Unfortunately much of these
financial assistance is distributed very late and some even after the completion of the course.
There are also students who are in real need of help but are not covered by e-grants or
scholarships. A new endeavor „Care and Share‟ is envisaged by the College and a project
proposal for the Scheme was prepared and submitted to the Directorate of Collegiate Education
and got it approved. An initial fund of Rs. 80000 was mobilised for this purpose through
voluntary donation from teachers and non teaching staff. The Care and Share programme has
been formally inaugurated by Sri M. Nanda Kumar IAS, Director, Department of Collegiate
Education, Government of Kerala. A Committee is constituted under the chairmanship of the
Principal to go ahead with its registration and selection of beneficiaries.
Selection process
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 175
Urgency and genuineness of need are the twin criteria for selection of the beneficiary. The
selection process should not put the student under any kind of mental agony. If needed, the
selection shall be based on a site inspection by a team of at least three members of the Executive
committee.
Transparency and accountability
The „Care and Share‟ fund should have proper accountability. „Care and Share‟ to be registered
under the Thiru Kochi Scientific, literary and charitable Societies Registration Act 1955 with a
well formulated bye-law with provision for audit of accounts with a Chartered Accountant. The
annual accounts are to be published and distributed to all stake holders..
7.3.2. Elder-Care
Old-Age Care and the allied issues are perturbing the state for the last few decades. The
responsible younger generation need to be sensitive to this burning issue. In this direction the
college has designed an intelligent intervention. The college has understood the importance of
new generation and their role in old age caring in the near future. If our students are trained or
made aware of this issue, there can be a positive change in our society by caring the older
generation. The purpose of this very programme is to address this issue in a systematic and
scientific manner. The fragmentalised old age groups are purposively grouped in to three
sections. Viz, the old age category with terminal immobility, old age category with slight or
minor physical issues, and old category but capable of normal functions. These groups are
engaged regularly with our peer groups from college and members of NGO (kudumbashree,
prominent NGO in Kerala).
As a first step in this practice we have conducted a comprehensive survey of the selected three
local self government bodies and the data base has made in to the form of
directory. Kudumbashree, being the prominent NGO, which has been selected as the nodal
agency of National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), has consented to undertake this
project in the selected three panchayaths in the Chavara constituency due to the able guidance
of the then MLA and Minister for Labour and Skills Shri.Shibu Babyjohn. To deliberate the
issues on old age care, a meeting has been summoned. As result of this deliberation, a project
report was prepared with the technical support of our students. Considering the social gravity
of this issue, the State Rural Livelihood Mission has approved the entire project. Subsequently
NAAC SSR 2016
Baby John Memorial Govt. College, Chavara 176
the project was taken up by the NRLM with the recommendations of the state government.
The NRLM has sanctioned a lucrative sum of 30 lakhs per local body. Finally the project has
got a flag off by the then Minister for Social Justice Dr.M.K.Muneer. As a part of the social
extension activity, the students are conducting a social audit to evaluate the socio- economic –
psycho effects of this programme among the elderly community as a beneficiary.
