3.3 Innovation Ecosystem

3.3.1 Institution has created an eco system for innovations including Incubation centre and other
initiatives for creation and transfer of knowledge

Response:

The institution has created an eco-system for innovations by setting up ED Cell, VJ Hub and weekend
labs for creation and transfer of knowledge. VNRVJIET ED Cell has come into existence from August
2006. It is nurtured with additional inputs like regular class work by internal faculty, guest lectures, e-
Talks by entrepreneurs, idea generation workshops and seminars. VNRVJIET has obtained permission to
undertake EDC Project from 2011-2012 with AICTE funds for a period of 3 years.

The institute has developed a strong ecosystem for innovation and incubation activities. It all starts
with an encouragement where students and faculty have an excellent opportunity to share their
ideas as part of the “Big Idea Competition”. The selected ideas which are feasible to implement
and have commercial advantage get shortlisted.
The institute has a “Design Centre” where the ideas get further elaborated by framing a problem
understanding the customer requirements, brainstorming and identifying a set of solutions and
finally narrowing down to a solution.
As a next step towards realizing these ideas into prototypes and commercialize products, the
institute has multiple channels. The first channel is MSME, the institute has an in-house MSME
certified business incubation program. Through this program, the institute facilitates funding for
the initial prototype development of the idea. As of today, there are 10 projects which are in
progress. The second channel is instituted by own Incubation Centre – Vignana Jyothi Foundation
for Entrepreneurial Excellence, a Section 8 registered company with a branding name of VJHUB.
The incubation center has a primary objective to facilitate incubation of new start-up’s /
enterprises with innovative technologies based on academic and industry research. VJHUB
provides infrastructure, technical, product engineering, networking support, seed capital and other
services for the start-up’s to be successful and be independent. The startups can be hosted for a
period of 1 to 3 years.
In the process of conceptualization, solution identification and the realization, the IPR Cell of the
institution sees scope for IP creation. The Institute strongly encourages IP creation and it laid out a
well-defined IP policy for commercializing the IP either through (a) Technology licensing or (b)
Incubation through institutes incubation center. 10 Patents are published in the assessment period
and faculty are encouraged by bearing the processing fees.
The Institute encourages the students to realize their Idea in Student Design & Experimental
Learning Center/Weekend Projects Lab, where the students can work/research on an idea. The
Idea Lab also provides the opportunity to the students to ask questions in different areas of
knowledge. It
 will equip them with the ability to think, concretize the idea, design research study, work on it and
report the findings. This center is established to provide assistance to students to buy the raw
material for their real-time projects.

Criterion 6 - Governance, Leadership and Management

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 The governance of the institution is reflective of an effective leadership in tune with the vision
and mission of the institution

Response:

The Institute’s focus and core ideology is reflected in its Vision, Mission, and Quality Policy as shown
below:

Vision: Global Standards, Value-based Education, Interdisciplinary Research, and Sustainable

Development
Mission: To achieve the following traits among students through modern pedagogy: technical
competence, social responsibility, future-readiness, learning through innovative and collaborative
research of global standards, managerial and entrepreneurial skills.
Quality Policy: Updated domain knowledge, hands-on experience, continuous improvement,
global standards.

The Principal, who is the Academic Head of the Institution, is aided by: Deans, Heads of the Departments,
Finance Officer, Section Heads, and Chairpersons of other Institute-level Committees. The various
Committees that direct the day-to-day functioning of the Institute include: Governing Council; Academic
Council and Boards of Studies; Finance Committee; Finance, Planning and Development Committee.
Other Sections and bodies that take part in Governance include: Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC);
Planning, Approvals, Accreditation and Certification (PAAC) Cell; Academics and Admissions (AA);
Examinations and Evaluation (EE); Research and Consultancy Cell (RCC); and Mentoring, Training and
Placement (MTP) Cell.

The Institute’s Policies, Strategy, Resources, as well as Operations and Quality Assurance cater to the
different facets of the Institute, viz. Academics, Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Social
Responsibility with Global Vision.

Vignana Jyothi Society, as well as the Principal who ensures seamless management systematically,
encourages participative leadership by involving various stakeholders at various appropriate levels of
decision-making.

Recurring and intermittent requirements of Departments and Sections are identified by the Heads of the
respective Departments and Sections, which are presented to the Finance Committee for evaluation of
financial aspects and to the concerned Deans and the Principal for a consolidated need assessment. The
identified requirements are presented to the Governing Council by the Principal and approvals necessitate
interactions with the concerned stakeholders and faculty members.

Faculty members participate, through corresponding Functional Committees, in finalising curriculum

design, teaching methodology of common courses, examination reforms, maintenance of academic
standards, and student welfare. Such participation brings transparency to the governance and inherently

Page 86/130 18-08-2018 03:49:24

encourages team-work, while ensuring practicable decision-making.

Students and alumni are also involved in certain Committees including the IQAC so that their views are
also considered in governance.

Thus, all stakeholders of the Institute are involved at various levels in assessing actual needs, budgetary
requirements, academic standards and policy-making, progression in innovation and research. The
Principal subsequently drives the resulting policy, strategy, resource allocation, and operations through
the Governing Council and the Vignana Jyothi Society. Societal impact and responsibility are assigned
prime importance such that the Institute contributes to sustainable socioeconomic development through
globally- competitive competence.

6.1.2 The institution practices decentralization and participative management

Response:

Decentralization and Participative management:

The institution has decentralized and transparent mechanism in management, administration, financial and
academic affairs. This mechanism is delegating appropriate responsibilities from the top level

regulations, delegates powers and responsibilities to various Committees, Principal, Heads of the
Departments (HoDs), Heads of the Sections.

The constitution of statutory committees like Governing council, Academic Council, Finance Committee,
Board of Studies are systematically carried out with specified functions and responsibilities as per the
requirements to the regulatory/statutory bodies. These committees play a major role in policy making of

Dean Administration
Dean Student Progression
Dean Innovation, Incubation, Entrepreneurship & Globalization
Dean Research, Development & Consultancy

There are 31 non-statutory committees working hand in hand in identifying possibilities, planning,
organizing, implementing and monitoring all the activities of the institution.
 The decentralized mechanism exists even at the department levels. Every department has Program
coordinators at UG and PG level to look after the activities of each program. Decisions at department
levels are taken by well-structured committees like Department Academic committee, Program
Assessment committee, Board of Studies, Department Development Committee, Class Review
Committee. HODs are invited for the Governing council meeting and the Governing council members and
management interact to develop a road map for the development of the departments and the institution.

All Stakeholders of the institution have participative roles in various decision-making committees.
External stakeholders like Statutory bodies nominees, State government Nominees, University nominees,
State government Nominees, Industry experts, Employees, Educationists, Scientists, occupy 20% of all
the committee members. Faculty occupies 55% and Students, Alumni occupies 15% of the committee
members. The remaining 10% of the committee members includes Management.

The table provided in the additional information shows the involvement of management and all the
stakeholders including Head of the Departments, Faculty, Students, Alumni, employers, industry experts,
educationalist, scientist, community representatives in various functional committees of the institution.
This shows that the institution has decentralization of administration through committees and has
participative management. A democratic approach is setup in the decision-making process, by which all

5. CONCLUSION

Additional Information :
The exponential increase in the number of Ph.D holders and project grants worth Rs.9.7 crore during the last 5
years and a proportional increase in innovations, incubation centers and startups is what VNRVJIET wishes to
be recognized for. Making this possible was the reorientation of the institute/management goal from being a
purely teaching to a research oriented institution.

Faculty and student interactions with entrepreneurs and grass root inventors, Open-House and Project Expo
events are an opportunity once again for the faculty and the students to display their project ideas and gain
dual advantage of financial support and honing of presentation skills.

The institute wishes to utilize this opportunity to proudly list out some achievements which stretch beyond
prescriptive guide lines of Statutory Bodies. The annual TEDx events, the institutional financial support above
Rs.2.5 crores for Sports, Technical and Cultural festivals, the gold medals, trophies, cash awards for
excellence in these fields underscore the institute’s commitment to the development of rounded student
personality.
