Title of the Practice:

Best Practice – I

Making the students worthy citizens of the country Goal

To promote social responsibilities

To inculcate patriotism

To impart value-based education

To bring social consciousness

To promote community orientation

To contribute to national development

The Context: The College aims at initiating patriotism and national pride in the minds of

young generation and inculcating ethical and patriotic values among the students. The college

has adopted this practice to counsel the students and inculcate those values that are needed to

live in a pluralistic society and contribute to national development.

The Practice: The institution organizes a number of ISR activities. The activities conducted

under the ISR promote social responsibilities among the students and lends a helping hand in

transforming into good citizen. Regarding the Women Empowerment, we sensitize the

students about the social injustice meted out to women in general. Processions on Anti-

Dowry, Female Foeticide have been organized by the ISR wing of our college. In order to

inculcate good values among the students value based programmes are organized by a

committee especially meant for this. Hence the various steps in creating a feeling of

belonging, a spirit of oneness and nurturing everlasting bonds subtly manifests and promotes

secularism and social equity.

Evidence of Success: The practice has exercised a great motivational influence on the

student community. Well-defined value system and love for our culture has given strong

roots which inculcates their moral and intellectual growth. It has gone a long way in

inculcating a strong sense of ethical values, a genuine concern for our culture and

commitment to nationalistic causes. The alumni of the college have made significant

contribution in improving the lot of underprivileged sections of society. The college has

always been committed to the cause of the Community Orientation and many times students,

staff and management have actively participated in the struggle to protect interests of

minorities and backward classes including the members who are economically poor from the

general category of the locality especially in higher education.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The college is functioning under affiliation mode of Bangalore University. From the

academic year 2004-05 the affiliating university has imposed semester system in its

curriculum, the important constraint is from arrangement of time table. A lot of rescheduling

and adjustment in time table has to be done to enable all the teachers to meet their respective

classes and students to prevent any academic loss. Few students have different attitude in

attaining this goal but still the college struggles to identify and motivate them towards moral

and intellectual growth.


Title of the Practice:

Best Practice – II

Student e-Attendance & Feedback System Goal

To create awareness among the staff and students

To impart staff training for e-attendance

To send messages to parents on regular basis

To make students realize the importance of attending the classes

To provide the feedback about the teaching by students

The Context: The College aims at initiating e-attendance in the minds of staff and students to become

more serious about the classes. The college has adopted this practice to counsel the students and

inculcate the habit of being regular in order to ensure better results. The goal of sending messages to

parents is to keep them informed and make them more responsible towards their wards towards

education. The practice also aims at getting student feedback regarding teaching by faculty members.

The Practice: The institution has called the parents on the day of inauguration of classes and updated

that the attendance messages will reach them in case the student is absent from the classes. The same

has been informed to the students. Teachers were given necessary training as to how to mark the

attendance online. It has been regularly monitored to make sure that the teachers are compulsorily

following the instructions and marking the attendance online. Hence the various steps in creating a

feeling of how importance is attendance for both students and faculty.

Evidence of Success: The practice has given more seriousness among the students as parents question

the students after getting the message from college, if they miss the class. This has helped the

students to become more regular to classes as there is interference from the parents which has

exercised a greater influence on the student community. Similarly it puts the faculty members to be

more alert to mark the attendance so as to make the parents aware of their ward regularity. It has also

made the teachers accountable for their actions. It has gone a long way in inculcating a strong sense

of responsibility among staff, students and parents. The college has always been committed to the

cause of the student development and many times students, staff and management have shown interest

in improved attendance of students as it directly affect the performance of students in their subject

handled by the teacher. At the end, this help in getting the feedback about the teachers from the

students. We have noticed that the attendance has improved to a greater extent.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

After introducing the online attendance, the biggest challenge was to make the teachers understand the

system. Some of them resist the change and were unable to adopt the technological due to lack of

interest. Similarly, some students were also not keen to have this system as the parents will be getting

the updates about their attendance.

In order to overcome this challenge, faculty members were instructed that they should adopt to the

new system. The service providers were informed to train the faculty and after necessary training, the

faculty members have adapted to the new technology and started following marking the online

attendance. Similarly, some students who did not want the parents to know about their attendance

opposed the online attendance and shown negative attitude in attaining this goal but still the college

struggles to identify and motivate them towards moral and intellectual growth. But when they were

informed about the benefits and when parents extended their support and appreciated this, students

realized our efforts and later they have adapted to the change. It has helped the faculty members to

become more serious about their subjects as a result of which the attendance improved a lot.
