Best Practices
Best Practice – I
1. Title of the Practice
Development of Departmental Library
2. Goal
To inculcate reading habits among the students.
To develop and enhance access to high-quality resources.
To develop moral values among the students through donation of textbooks and
study material.
To provide learning environment that encourages intellectual exploration and
active learning.
To develop and manage information resources.
To assist students and staff in the effective use of information resources.
3. The Context
As most of the students come from the poor and disadvantaged section of the society, they
are not capable of purchasing even their textbooks. The copies of prescribed textbooks and
reference books available in the central library are not adequate as per the number of
admitted students. As such the students can be benefited by the departmental libraries that
will provide them prescribed textbooks, reference books, and other study material. Besides,
the practice of donating books to the departmental libraries will also inculcate the spirit of
co-operation and comprehensive outlook of the students.
4. The Practice
The students donate their previous year textbooks and study material to the departmental
library. The textbooks, reference books, and subject related journals are issued to the
students who cannot afford to buy them. The teachers also voluntarily donate books and
journals to the departmental library in order to inculcate reading habits among the students.
Departments maintain accurate records of library holdings and processing library materials.
5. Evidence of Success
Departments of the college have maintained update records of donated books, study material,
reference books and course-related journals in catalogs. Students have donated textbooks to
the departmental libraries. Teachers have donated textbooks, study material, reference books
and journals to the departmental libraries. So far there are 133 books, 77 journals &
conference proceedings, study material and 26 reference books are available in the
departmental libraries.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The number of students donating books is very less as compared to the number of
students demanding them.
Lack of special financial provisions/funds for the purpose.
Lack of adequate infrastructure.
Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR Page 51
Annexure IV
Best Practice – II
1. Title of the Practice
Tree Plantation and Preservation
2. Goal
To create environmental awareness among the students
To organize tree plantation campaigns and organize motivating programs about
environmental awareness.
To beautify the college campus through tree plantation and conservation.
To educate the students for plantation of trees and about protection of the
environment.
To make the students and local community aware about environment protection
through road shows and cultural programs.
3. The Context
At present we cannot deny usability of trees. Trees are immensely required not only for
out sustainable development but also for our own very existence. Trees replenish oxygen
of the atmosphere, maintain ecological balance, produce valuable building material and
many of them have medicinal value also. Through the plantation campaigns we intend to
increase efficiency of the soil’s water holding capability.
4. The Practice
The college conducts various activities within the campus to tell the students about the
importance of environment protection through tree plantation and conservation. NSS unit
of the college has been working for the protection of environment and preservation of the
eco-systems through every possible way. Through this practice the students are not only
raise their involvement in some healthy practice but it also encourages them to learn
about team work, about their environment, and of course fill them up with sense of
responsibility, love and compassion.
5. Evidence of Success
NSS volunteers actively participated in tree plantation drives on various occasions during
the session. NSS unit organized motivating lectures for creating environmental
awareness among the students. NSS volunteers and NCC cadets participated in
cleanliness drive and plastic eradication campaign on the campus and the vicinity of the
college. The college got ‘District Level Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Purskar for the session
2014-15’ on 7th
August, 2015. World Ozone day was celebrated in the college.
Environmental hazardous activities are discouraged and strictly banned on the campus.
Rain Water Harvesting System has been installed in the college. Green House has been
set up on the campus. Department of Botany and Nature Club increased the number of
medicinal plants in Botanical Garden. Along with Botanical garden three mini gardens
on the campus are well maintained with utmost care.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Lack of special financial provisions/funds for the purpose.
Participation of the students in tree conservation campaigns is not satisfactory.
Productivity of soil on the campus is poor.
