Analysis of Student Feedback
At the end of each programme, feedback from students were used to evaluate teacher’s
performance. For this purpose a questionnaire comprising 10 questions were distributed among the
students. In the evaluation process parameters such as subject competency, communication skill,
teaching skill, sincerity and commitment, approach to students, participation in extracurricular
activities etc were included. Teachers were rated on a 10 point scale, 1 indicated very poor and 10
indicated very good. The completely filled feedback fom students were collected and subjected to a
detailed analysis. The I.Q.A.C. team collected and analyzed the survey reports from all the
departments. The results were expressed in percentage. Based on the findings, a report was prepared.
The format is given below:

BEST PRACTICES
Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR Page 29
i. KRIPA
Objectives of the practice :To give financial assistance to the needy students of the
instituition
The context:SreeNarayana College cherthala is situated in an economically and
socially backward area and a large number of students need financial help. It is a
hand to mouth existence for most of them. Many of the students are forced to work to
support their families and themselves and they are not able to use their full potential
because of their poor circumstances. Appeasing the hunger of our students must be
given top priority, we deemed, and thus was born Kripa in the year 2004.
i. The Practice
The fund is collected through monthly subscriptions from the teachers and also through
donations from kind hearted public.Theformerstudents also contribute generously to the fund.
The needy students are given lunch and also supplied with study materials.Kripa also gives
financial aid for medical treatment and surgery in cases of very serious illness.On certain
occasions even free surgeries have been done, the actual cost would have come to lakhs, at
Alappuzha Medical college.Kripa also provides the athletes of the college with lunch and
breakfast.
ii. Evidence of Success:The fact that Kripa has been functioning since 2004 is in itself
an evidence of success.All the teachers extend their whole hearted support to Kripa.
Many teachers makegenerous contributions.Kripa has been instrumental in bringing
down the rate of student drop out.Kripa has a significant role in improving the
academic performance of the students.
Kripa has so far given help to more than 400 students
iii. Problems encountered and resources required:Main problem encountered is the
identification of the students who really need assistance from Kripa.Some students
are too sensitive to approach Kripadirectly.Usually it is their tutors or friends who
bring them to Kripa.Butsome times the tutors are misled and this result in Kripa
helping those who do not really need it.
As a large section of ourstudents need financial assistance it is beyond the means of
Kripa to cater to the needs of all of them.EventhoughKripa receives donations from
generous minded persons both from inside and outside the campus,the resources are still
insufficient in relation to the requirements. This forces kripa to restrict its assistance to
the most needy among the deserving students. Some times kripa is under constraint to
meet the needs of all students.
ii. BIOGAS PLANT
1. BIOGAS PLANT:
Title: Biogas Plant
Objectives: Solid waste management, Conservation of energy and protection of environment from
pollution
Context: Considerable amount of waste is generated on the campus in the form of kitchen waste from
canteen and hostel, food waste, agricultural waste and plant materials. Efficient and timely
removal of this waste was a big problem encountered by the institution. Moreover along with
Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR Page 30
social and economic development environment protection and energy conservation is an
important policy of our institution. It was in this circumstance that biogas plants were installed on
the campus.
Practice: Biogas plants are installed in hostel and canteen near the kitchen. Kitchen waste is put in
these daily. Waste bins are placed on the college veranda for the students to put in their food
waste. It is daily collected, sorted and deposited in the biogas plants. Plant materials and
agricultural waste is also collected and fed into the biogas plants.
Evidence of Success: Enough gas to cook for ¾ hr is generated daily.
Problems encountered: If unsuitable materials like oily food, shells, pickle waste, onion skins etc.
are put in it affects the production of gas adversely. Proper and regular removal of slurry also
poses a problem.
