PART II
EVALUATIVE REPORT
a) Executive Summary
Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi Chhatralaya Samiti, founded in the year 1950,
was initially set up to provide hostel facility for Rajasthani students from rural
areas. Later, driven by the hardships faced by the students of the region in
pursuing their higher education, the samiti, with the sacred intention of
spreading light of education in the education - starved society, established Raj
Mahavidyalaya in 1960. The college was later renamed as Smt. Kesharbai
Lahoti Mahavidyalaya after the generous and philanthropic lady from the
region.
The college embarked on imparting education to the knowledge
seekers with a solitary course of B.A. However it has been a victorious march
since then, resulting in the addition of several time demanded courses. The
college is committed to impart professionally relevant education to improve
the employability and quality of life of its students. It is the only college
(privately managed) in the city of Amravati imparting education through three
media, viz. Marathi, Hindi and English in Commerce faculty. In the last five
years we have added courses like B.B.A., B.C.A., M.C.M., M.A. in History
and Geography besides introducing several job oriented Certificate and

59
Diploma Courses such as Fashion Designing, Event Management, E-
Commerce, and Accounting & Auditing.
The institution has significantly large number of students belonging to
the disadvantaged social groups and economically weaker classes. Moreover,
ours is the only college (privately managed) to take care of minorities by
providing opportunities to learn languages like Urdu and Persian at higher
level (through Arts Faculty). This incidentally, gives our college the privilege
to fulfill its educational goals as reflected in its vision-mission statement.
The emphasis is laid on increasing the efficiency of teaching and non-
teaching staff by introducing various institutional initiatives and measures. As
a notable step towards it, the institution has organised various state and
national level seminars, conferences, and workshops to cultivate the environs
for change and innovation.
The college ensures equity for the students belonging to the socially
backward groups and economically weaker sections. Special coaching and
remedial courses are run for S.C./S.T. and Minority students for their
educational upliftment and entry into services. The college has carved a
special pool with an intent to aid and assist the needy students belonging to
weaker sections. Every year a considerable number of students benefit from
this scheme. The college has a healthy gender ratio amongst students. Besides,
the institution leaves no stone unturned to groom and encourage the students
to participate in the university, state, national and international level sports and
cultural events.

60
The institution promotes research culture among the faculty and
students alike. Most of the faculty have completed their doctorates and many
others are on their way to do the same. Twenty one teachers of the college are
actively involved in Research Projects. An appreciable number of research
papers have been published by the faculty in various national and international
journals.
The college has adequate infrastructural facilities for the efficient
conduct of educational programmes. The Management has been earnest in
developing infrastructure to fulfill the emerging academic demands. The
infrastructure with advanced gadgets has been consistently added to the
existing infrastructural facilities. Eight class rooms, over last few years have
been constructed and suitably furnished. Additional computer labs for B.C.A.
and M.C.M. are also installed. The library holdings are commensurate with the
academic needs and trends. The teachers use modern teaching-learning
devices like LCD projectors, OHPs and Slide projector. The internet facility is
made available to students and staff.
The progress of students is regularly monitored through unit tests and
common test. The students have been consistently securing proud positions in
the university merit lists. The institution also puts emphasis on student centric
co-curricular and extra-curricular activities like classroom seminar, debate,
quiz, essay and elocution competitions. The students are encouraged to exhibit
their creative faculty through annual college magazine ‘Jyoti’. Cultural
programmes, including Annual Social Gathering, are organised every year

61
which provide students a platform to manifest their talent in fine arts. The
Sports Department of the college provides nutritious diet to students during
practice sessions. The college implements the ‘Students Safety Insurance
Scheme’ for its students. Among other committees, we have Career Guidance
Cell and Women Cell that support and facilitate students in their career
development and other needs.
The Management regularly interacts with the teaching and non-
teaching faculty to keep itself abreast of the activities carried out by different
academic and administrative committees. It also takes feedbacks on the core
activities from the college administration. All decisions pertaining to academic
and administrative matters of the college are taken by the Local Managing
Committee.
In a nutshell the developments at global level and the post - NAAC scenario
have definitely made us redesign and relook our educational preparedness to
be more innovative, creative and entrepreneurial’ in our endeavour to ensure
quality and skill development among the students.

b) Criterion-wise Evaluative Report
Criterion I: Curricular Aspects
1.1 Curriculum Design and Development
1.1.1. State the vision and mission of the institution, and how it is
communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other
stakeholders?
 Vision: To become an active agent in reforming the society
through education and allied activities and building a powerful and
prosperous India.
 Mission: “Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya”,- ‘Lead me from
darkness to light’ – this prayer taken from Rigveda is the noble and
exalted mission of Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi Chhatralaya Samiti. Being an
Educational Institution for higher education, established and run by
Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi Chhatralaya Samiti, Smt. Kesharbai Lahoti
Mahavidyalaya becomes a natural heir to this mission of the society
and rightly adopted it so. Thus the noble mission of this college is
Removal of Darkness From Human Mindset Through Education and
thereby bring light and wisdom into human life. Right from its
inception in 1960, the college has steadily and sincerely endeavoured
to bring this noble mission to fruition.

63
Goals:
1. To impart higher education to the youth in and around Amravati.
2. To inculcate the spirit of equality, tolerance and co-operation in
the students.
3. To make available sports and games facilities to improve the
physical fitness of the students and to train and enable them to
participate in various competitions.
4. To cultivate patriotic feelings in the students.
5. To enable the students to become responsible citizens.

64
1.1.2. How does the mission statement reflect the institution’s distinctive
characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the
students it seeks to serve, institution’s traditions and value
orientation?
 The mission statement of the college is “Tamaso Ma
Jyotirgamaya” – ‘Lead me from darkness to light.’ Right from its
inception the college is earnestly trying to follow the mission statement
in its true spirit. The college was established when the higher education
was at the nascent stage and very few educational institutions
imparting it were available for the students. Ours is one of the two
colleges in the region which is in the forefront in taking care the
education of Muslim minority and one of the few colleges that are
catering to the needs of the underprivileged class of the society (around
50% of our students belong to backward classes) and are endeavouring
to bring them into mainstream of the society.
The college through its N.S.S. and N.C.C. units run several
programmes to eradicate social afflictions like superstitions, the gutka
and liquor consumption (a menace growing at an alarming pace among
the masses), malady of AIDS. We also run the programmes of
environmental importance to spread the spirit of mission statement in
the society. The worth mentioning programmes addressing the needs of
the society are:
1) Sociology Department organised superstition eradication

65
programme at Sai nagar, Amravati.
2) A workshop for girls entitling ‘Jivanachya Umberthayavar’ (On the
Threshold of Life) was conducted by ‘Women Cell’ jointly with
Amravati Municipal Corporation’s Woman and Child Welfare
Department.
3) In order to eradicate superstition and to inculcate scientific spirit in
the masses our students under the aegis of ‘Andhashrdha Nirmulan
Samiti’ (Superstition and Blind Faith Eradication Committee)
staged many programmes ably guided by our faculty Dr. Mrs. U.S.
Wadekar.
4) Our N.S.S. volunteers frequently take out rallies and stage street
plays on AIDS awareness, literacy and organise programmes on the
importance of girl child education.
5) Since the last few years the Vidarbha Region is afflicted with the
problem of farmers’ suicide. The N.S.S. unit of the college initiated
a fact finding and diagnostic drive to explore the causes and factors
that are forcing them to take the extreme step.
6) The new courses introduced from time to time are in tune with the
mission statement “Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya”. These courses not
only enlighten the students academically but also improve their
employability.

66
1.1.3. Are the academic programmes in line with the institution’s goals
and objectives? If yes, give details on how the curricula developed /
adopted, address the needs of the society and have relevance to the
regional / national and global trends and developmental needs?
(Access to the Disadvantaged, Equity, Self development,
Community and National Development, Ecology and
environment, Value orientation, Employment, ICT introduction,
global and national demands and so on)
 Yes, the college believes in providing the need based education
to its students. The college began its journey by introducing traditional
streams - Arts & Commerce. However, keeping the growing
requirements of the students of the day in mind it has introduced
several job oriented, professional, certificate and diploma courses such
as B.B.A, B.C.A., M.C.M., Fashion Designing, Event Management, E-
Commerce, Auditing and Accounting. These additions are turning out
to be the instruments of making our students self-reliant and helping
them keep pace with the time.
Guest lectures by renowned personalities of various fields are
arranged regularly to sensitise the students and faculty towards the
societal needs and to acquaint them with the national & global trends.
Lectures on awareness regarding women empowerment, health issues,
career options and importance of computer literacy, etc. are also
arranged. Some notable speakers who shared their views with us are:

Apart from organizing the regular functions of national
importance (Birth–death anniversaries, Teachers’ Day, Independence
Day, Republic Day, etc.) different subject associations arrange various
programmes to give the learners the academic exposure and the virtual
feel of the professional days ahead. The college also brings out its
annual magazine ‘Jyoti’ every year to enable its students exhibit their
creative faculty. Thus, all possible efforts are taken to pave the paths of
opportunity for the all round development of the learner.
In Environment Studies, the students are required to undertake
the projects concerning environmental issues. This operation makes
students aware of environmental problems. The college students and
alumni are involved in drives carried out by various departments and
units with a view to encouraging them to undertake such activities.

68
The students of Arts stream who do not have computer course
in their curricula are encouraged to undertake basic training in
computer application / operation and internet.
1.1.4. How does the curriculum cater to inclusion/integration of
Information and Communication Technology (I.C.T.) in the
curriculum, for equipping the students to compete in the global
employment markets?
 1) In order to equipping the students with Information
Technology professional programmes like B.C.A and M.C.M. are
introduced. These courses equip the students professionally and make
them competent players with extra edge to enter the global market.
2) We have Computer as one of the subjects for B.Com. and
B.B.A.
3) The college conducts short term certificate courses for the
students of Arts stream.
4) As majority of the junior wing students prefer the same
campus to pursue their under graduate courses, we have introduced I.T.
as an optional subject at the Junior College level which gives our
learners early orientation in I.T.
5) Internet facility is made available to the students (so that
they can surf required information).

69
1.1.5. Specify the initiatives and contributions of the institution in the
curriculum design and development process. (Need assessment,
development of information database, feedback from faculty,
students, alumni, employees and academic peers, and
communicating the information and feedback for appropriate
inclusion and decisions in statutory academic bodies, Membership
of BOS and by sending agenda items, etc.)
 The curricula are framed and developed by the S.G.B.
Amravati University. However, the college obtains feedback from the
students on the respective curricula. After a thorough analysis, the
observations of the students are conveyed to the concerning Board of
Studies. The faculty of the college who are on the various Boards of
Studies act as catalytic agents for us in this respect. The Department of
English of our college is one of the key players in introducing the
scheme of viva-voce in the curriculum of B.A. (Compulsory English).
The scheme bears the imprints of many of our ideas. The scheme came
into force from the academic session 2008-09. The decision proved to
be a milestone in the history of the S.G.B. Amravati University with its
far reaching implications. The same scheme is all set to be included in

equity. Around 50% of our students belong to backward communities.
Ours is the only (Private Grant-in-Aid) college in the city of Amravati
imparting education through Marathi, Hindi and English media where
Urdu and Persian languages are being studied as optional subjects that
cater to the demands of Muslim minority. Besides, the students
belonging to Sindhi, Gujrati, Punjabi and Rajasthani minorities are
being served by our institution for decades together (the students
belonging to these communities prefer our college as a matter of
choice, though we do not have the languages of their tongue as
subjects.)

79
ii) The college always strives hard to foster global
competencies among students. To enable the learners to have better
opportunity in the global market the college has introduced several

is also a study centre for M.B.A. (Y.C.M.O.U., Nashik). All new
courses are the need of the day and are helpful in enhancing the
employability of the students in global employment market.
Apart from this, the college encourages its sporting talents to
continually raise their competency level to bring themselves at par with
their counterparts in the rest of the world. Our Chess prodigy, Master
Swapnil Dhopade, has emerged as the youngest International Master
(I.M.) from the Vidarbha region while our wonder girl Ku. Deeksha
Gaikwad has won gold medal in the VIII Commonwealth Youth
Games. Our Hockey player Mr. Imran Sk. secured a place in the All
India Combined University Hockey team. In the first South Asian
Intervarsity Hockey Championship 2008 also he gave an excellent
performance representing the Indian side.

communities leads towards inculcating the spirit of co-operation,
fellow-feeling and mutual understanding.

techniques like O.H.Ps, L.C.D. Projectors, use of geographical
instruments, theory coupled with practical, seminar presentation, chart
and model method, project work, case study and Internet to facilitate

measures undertaken by the institution during the last five years in
curricular aspects?
 Our college follows internal changes in the contents of the
curricula that are introduced by the university from time to time. Apart
from this, the college has organised various state and national level
seminars / conferences and workshops to cultivate the environs for
change and innovation through discussions and deliberations involving
policy makers and thus helping them overhaul the curricular structure.
The notable one is the NAAC sponsored State Level Workshop on
“Importance of Innovative Practices in Higher Education”. The theme
and sub-themes drafted for the workshop were innovative in many
ways. This conference succeeded immensely in sensetising the
teaching fraternity in general and the elites working on various
statutory bodies in particular towards introducing innovative practices
and paradigms in the various syllabi.
Different departments organise various seminars and
workshops on a variety of subjects with a view to providing advanced
knowledge on the syllabi related topics. For example, the computer
syllabus of B.Com. covers only Tally 7.2. So a workshop was
organised on the advanced versions like Tally 9.0 and Tally ERP.

82
1.5.2 What best practices in ‘Curricular Aspects’ have been planned /
implemented by the institution?
 Every teacher works out a teaching plan for the academic year
under the supervision of head of the respective department. The
H.O.D. and the individual teacher see to it that the teaching executes as
per the pre-designed teaching programme. It is also ensured that the
teaching days stipulated by the U.G.C. are strictly met and the teachers
complete their portions as per the teaching plans. In case of exigency,
the teachers engage extra classes. To prepare the students for annual
examination, a full-fledged common test examination is held on the
lines of the university examination.
In order to keep pace with the changing scenario of the
employment world, we have introduced courses like B.B.A., B.C.A.,
M.C.M. and career oriented certificate courses like Accounting and
Auditing, E-Commerce, Event Management and Fashion Designing.
Formation of different Subject Associations encourages and
motivates the students to carry out various subject related activities.
To make the students pro-actively involved in the classroom
business, regular assignments, demanding their impressions and views
on the topic covered are given.

83

Study Centre, BCCA, besides P.G. Courses in Marathi and Political Science.

84
2) What are the other quality sustenance and enhancement measures
undertaken by the institution since the previous Assessment and
Accreditation with regard to Curricular Aspects?

and career oriented courses so as to improve the employability of our students.
The courses like B.B.A., B.C.A., M.C.M. enhance the job prospects, hence are
in greater demand from the student fraternity. Along with regular (be it a
traditional or a professional one) course a student can pursue any of the
recently introduced career oriented certificate courses. The distinguished
Alumni of our college have undertaken a novel venture of preparing a parallel
syllabus overcoming the shortcomings in the varsity syllabi to enhance their
quality.
The institution has put an emphasis on the computer education of the
staff and students. The process of computerisation of the office is completed.
The constant, concerted and convincing efforts are being made to provide
optimum possible exposure to the students through various activities like

skills before the commencement of the programme? If yes, give
details on the strategies of the institution to bridge the knowledge
gap of the incoming students for enabling them to cope with the
programme to which they are enrolled.
 It is a customary practice among our faculty to spell out the
importance of the respective course and the subject to ideally associate
the learners with the programme of their study. Before the
commencement of the actual teaching every teacher assesses students’
knowledge and skills either by conducting classroom tests based on the
rudimentary and fundamental knowledge of the subject or by having
personal interactions. The outstanding students are groomed with
proper attention while remedial classes are held for weaker students in
an effort to enhance their subject knowledge and to make them
competent enough to cope with the programme of their study. Besides,
a regular and adequate counseling is done throughout the year.
2.2.2 How does the institution identify slow and advanced learners?
Give details on the strategies adopted for facilitating slow and
advanced learners.
 Different steps taken on the part of the faculty (classroom tests,
personal interaction, classroom discussions, deliberations, etc.) provide

92
them with sufficient understanding of students’ calibre and
capabilities. This automatically demarcates the class into slow and
advanced learners. The highlights of the strategies adopted:
A) Some of our faculty call a select number of learners from
higher classes to dispel fear and build up confidence amongst the new
entrants. The experiment entitled “A Peerless Peer with the Peers”
yielded good results. Our students Mr. Aniruddha Hirlekar, Mr. Afjal,
Ms. Swati Pancharia and Mr. Uday Boob were instrumental in making
it a good success.
B) Our faculty’s close rapport, personal bonding, constant
supervision and adoption and application of certain psychological
strategies also help them receive regular feedback on the students’
progress.
C) Some of the advanced learners are entrusted with the
responsibility of extending their scholarly and friendly hands towards
their weaker counterparts in up-lifting their standard. The concept
‘Parenting of Students by Students’ was introduced in B.B.A. Every
out-performing student was assigned the responsibility of academic
guardianship of four weak students. The experiment helped weaker
students in uplifting their academic standard.
D) The teachers take extra efforts to facilitate advanced
learners. They recommend specific books and encourage them to refer

93
reference books, journals and other relevant material available on the
net.
E) The teachers offer access to personal collections and make
themselves readily available to such students.

Development Workshops, English Speaking Classes to develop
Communication Skills are adopted to help slow learners.

B.Com (I) there is one tutorial per week for a batch of 20 students.
2.2.4 Is there a provision for mentoring of students or any similar
process? If yes, give details.
 Yes, the idea of appointing a guardian teacher for every class is
proving to be a rewarding method of monitoring the students as some
teachers have given surprising futuristic turns to the students by rightly
and timely identifying their special talent. A list of select few students
is given below:

94

Besides, the faculty’s minute observations of the students’
interest and aptitude for co-curricular or extra-curricular activities
(Debate, Elocution, Artistic skills, etc.) and encouraging them
accordingly is helping in moulding them in the right direction. Thanks
to the systematic and effective monitoring of the Sports Department
many students who were not even remotely related with sports were
metamorphosed into the sports persons of good repute. Apart from
these fairy tale instances we have the following well evolved
monitoring mechanism for the learners :
(1) As a regular practice the interested and intelligent students of
Commerce and D.Tax. are referred to Chartered Accountants and Tax
Consultants respectively.
(2) The short term “Training cum Project” programmes are organised

recording studios, etc.
2.3.3 How is learning made student-centric? What are the institutional
strategies, which contribute to acquisition of life skills, knowledge
management skills and lifelong learning?
 The learning is made student-centric by employing the question
answer and interactive methods. The regular practice of these methods
gradually shift the focus from teaching to learning as the gap between
the teacher and the taught is considerably bridged. This facilitates in
bringing the learner at the centre stage and helps him/her to become a
dutious, responsible and proactive agent of the process.
The students are given subject assignments and guest lectures
are arranged to impart them valuable and concrete tips which enables
the learner make better management of the acquired knowledge.

used as reference material for future studies.
6) Dr. P.J. Katole’s research throws light on the contribution of
various schemes meant for the economic empowerment of
women.
7) Dr. J. N. Mantri’s research is an attempt to make a comparative

‘Madhukar’, the National Poets of India and Mauritius
respectively. The study made it possible to have a comparative
analysis of the social, cultural and political aspects of the two
countries.
8) Dr. Mrs. U.S. Wadekar’s research on Stephen Spender explores
the images of war, the longing for freedom and the poet’s
philosophy of life.
9) Dr. A.G. Harne’s research is helpful in evolving an ideal
mechanism for providing agricultural loans to the farmers.
10) Dr. R. Y. Shirsat through his comparative study of the plays of

3.3 Consultancy
3.3.1 List the broad areas of consultancy services provided by the
Institution during the last five years (free of cost and / or
remunerative).

123
Who are the beneficiaries of such consultancy?
 D.Tax. Department of the college runs tax consultancy free of
cost. The staff members of the college and those of Shri. Ganeshdas
Rathi High School are the beneficiaries of this consultancy. The
Department of Library provides consultancy services to research
scholars on remunerative basis. As of now 10 research scholars have
sought the services of this consultancy.
3.3.2 How does the institution publicize the expertise available for
consultancy services?
 As the tax consultancy is limited upto the staffs of the college
and Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi High School, it does not move out of this
campus for publicity. However, it is under active consideration to run
it in a professional manner in near future.
The Department of Library has been extending itself in the true
sense. It has come up with some novel ideas to maximise the utility of
its resources. It regularly flashes advertisement in the news papers with
a view to making the scholars across the region aware of its unique
collection. Many scholars have responded to these advertisements
positively and have been reaping rich benefits. Ten outside scholars
have enrolled to seek library facility over last two years.

124
3.3.3 How does the institution reward the staff for the consultation
provided by them?
 The college felicitates the staff on the occasion of Annual
Social Gathering by giving a letter of appreciation for the consultancy
services rendered by them.
3.3.4 How does the institution utilize the revenue generated through
consultancy services?
 The institution utilizes the revenue generated through
consultancy services for subscribing additional research journals.
3.4 Extension Activities
3.4.1 How does the institution promote the participation of students and
faculty in extension activities? (NSS, NCC, YRC and other NGOs).
 The institution promotes the participation of the students and
the faculty in different extension activities including N.S.S. and N.C.C.
There is a provision to award incentive marks to the students for their
participation in extension activities. The university guidelines of
awarding ten marks for participation in extension activities (like
N.C.C., N.S.S., Games and Sports, Cultural Activities, Blood
Donation, Participation in the national missions like census, statistical
and data collecting drive, etc.) are duly communicated to the students.
The institution accords equal importance to the extension
activities. Courtesy institutional initiatives there is exemplary co-

125
ordination among the faculty and different departments while carrying
out extension activities. The N.S.S. and N.C.C. units along with the
Sports Department organize Blood donation camp, plantation,
cleanliness drives, etc. all through the year.
The institution supports the students and the faculty to take up
joint ventures. The students of N.S.S. & N.C.C. have been regularly
helping the police during Ganesh & Durga festival. N.S.S. students
established ‘Students Welfare Information Centre’ in collaboration
with S.G.B. Amravati University.
The institution has constituted Innovative Practices Committee
which motivates students, faculty and different departments alike to
organise and participate in the activities and programmes of social
concern. The Committee’s efforts in this regard have ensured students’
participation in Rubella vaccination, Hepatitis ‘B’ awareness camp and
save cattle programme. The Department of Sociology organized a
programme on superstition eradication for the residents of local Sai
Nagar locality.
The institution motivates the faculty to take up the bigger
responsibilities assigned by the varsity. Our Programme Officer Shri.
K.K. Gadbail has been bestowed with distinct honour of representing
S.G.B. Amravati University in the three-day zonal Workshop on
University Talks Aids (UTA) Phase-II held at Jaipur in August 2004.

126
The college N.S.S. unit is a recipient of the affiliating
universitiy and Maharashtra State’s “Best Unit” award (1998).
Gopalpur, a village adopted by the N.S.S. unit, received Central
Government’s “Nirmal Gram Puraskar 2006-07 ”, carrying cash prize
of Rs. 3 lakh, at the hands of former President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul
Kalam.
Our N.C.C. cadet SU/O Atul Wade achieved a rare distinction
of being the only cadet from across the country to be conferred upon
with “Bhartiya Raksha Mantri Rashtriya Padak” 2009 carrying cash
incentive of Rs. 10,000/- at the hands of Union Defence Minister
Hon. Shri. A.K. Anthony.
Captain P.Mallu, a faculty of Commerce Department, was
appointed as Contingent Commander of Maharashtra Unit for
“Rashtriya Thal Sainik Camp” held at Delhi in Oct. 2008. Under his
able leadership the Maharashtra N.C.C. Unit was adjudged the winner
in the “Thal Sena Camp” at the All India level.
Again it is to the credit of Captain P. Mallu that Amravati
N.C.C. group has received CM Banner consequently for the
consecutive sixth time in the year 2008.
Our N.C.C. cadets SU/O Anis Ahamed Khan and JU/O Sagar
Ghaisundar represented Maharashtra for R.D. Parade, New Delhi.
These are the results of phenomenal institutional support.

127
3.4.2 What are the outreach programmes organized by the institution?
How are they integrated with the academic curricula?
 Our college students and faculty work with a missionary zeal
for the spread and propagation of a glorious and purposeful movement
of Blood Donation. The work accomplished under this movement is
dedicated to late Shri. RadhaVallabhaji Heda, ex-President of our
parent society. Blood-group testing and Blood-Donation Camps are
held every year, on and off the campus. More than one thousand
bottles of blood were raised over last five years by our students and
faculty. In order to sensitise the students with problems of orphans and
not so fortunate elders of our society, the Department of Sociology
regularly visits Orphanages and Old Age Homes.
The superstitious and reactionary elements have always been in
clash with scientific and progressive forces. Some of our faculty and
students are doing notable work with an established and highly
respected movement of the Nation called “Andhashrdha Nirmulan
Samiti” (Superstition and Blind Faith Eradication Committee), fondly
recognized and addressed among the masses as ‘ANIS’. Many creative
programmes have been staged on this theme by our students under the
guidance of Dr. Mrs. U.S. Wadekar. A programme on superstition
eradication was arranged by the Department of Sociology for the
residents of local Sai Nagar.

128
Our N.S.S. volunteers are always in forefront in running
cleanliness-drives in the villages adopted for special focus. They
played major role in the building of ‘Sippo Bandhara’ (weirs) on
S.G.B. Amravati University campus and on Pedhi River. Working with
true spirit of N.S.S. they are taking the Government of Maharashtra’s
much acclaimed cleanliness drive being run in the urban and rural
Maharashtra to the doorsteps of the villagers as its devoted
ambassadors.
Our faculty’s and students’ contributions towards the National
Mission of Women Empowerment, dignified treatment to differently
abled people, removal of the affliction of child-labour are worth
mentioning. Dr. Mrs. J.G. Vyas, Head of the Hindi Department is
furthering the cause of these people in her capacity as ‘Mahamantri’ of
Akhil Bhartiya Viklang Parishad, Bilaspur (C.G.). Our N.S.S.
volunteers take special efforts in teaching illiterate adults of the
adopted village. Some of our faculty actively participated in the
agitation against the proposed construction of Pedhi-Dam (to be built
on Pedhi river in the vicinity of Amravati). As the site recommended
for the dam happened to be in the saline belt, it had caused a large
scale resentment among the affected and the sensible citizenry of the
region. The historic agitation was led by our faculty late Prof. K. Z.
Karwa.

129
Some of our teachers led from the front the historic movement
of agitation against the Municipal Corporation’s proposed abattoir. The
students were also mobilised to participate in this ‘Save Cattle
Campaign’ (initiated by ‘Save Cattle Committee’). This anti abattoir
movement was the brain child of our retired faculty Late Shri. K.Z.
Karwa.
Our faculty and students had also carried out special
programmes in the villages focusing the necessity and importance of
girl child education. The faculty’s participation in public drive against
the central government’s forcible closure of the manufacturing of
unprocessed salt (used on large scale by village masses and farming
community) is worth recording.
Teachers’ contribution towards awakening the masses against
various social, economic and environmental issues through lectures,
discussions, deliberations, etc. also demands due mention. The college
students in general and those of N.S.S. and N.C.C. in particular co-
operate with the law and order enforcing agencies as and when their
services are summoned.
The N.S.S. students organize rallies on AIDS awareness,
literacy, etc. and enact in the street plays on various social issues.
‘Chiken Gunia’ Awareness and Diagnostic Camp was run in local
Gaurakshan Area in 2007. Women Health Check-up Camp was
organized at local Ram Mohan Nagar in 2007. The Disaster

130
Management and Emergency Cell, an offshoot of N.S.S., is another
unit which has been rendering remarkable services. The members of
the Cell visited the adopted village and met flood affected people.
They assessed the loss of life and property due to flood.
3.4.3 How does the institution promote college neighbourhood network
in which students acquire attitude for service and training,
contributive to community development?
 The N.S.S. unit invariably carries out activities like ‘Shramdan’
and plantation in the university campus and the adopted villages of the
college.
3.4.4 What are the initiatives taken by the institution to have a
partnership with University / Research institutions / Industries
/ NGOs, etc. for extension activities?
 The college willingly shoulders several of the affiliating
university’s responsibilities. In the year 2007-08 the college hosted
S.G.B. Amravati University’s Youth Festival. Every year we host 2-3
Inter-collegiate sporting events on behalf of the university.
The college through its faculty Dr. U.S. Wadekar has entered
into collaboration with the Nagpur based N.G.O., “Nirdhar” to carry
out research on “Educational Status of Tribal Girls in Dharni”. The
Department of Sociology has an MOU with ‘Apeksha Homeo Society’
for conducting their research related social survey. The students also

131
extend their services to Sevankur, an NGO, working towards creating
health awareness among the masses.
3.4.5 How has the local community benefited by the institution?
(Contribution of the institution through various extension
activities, outreach programmes, partnering with NGOs and Gos)
 Shri. V.M. Gawai, a faculty of Commerce Department
conducted a training programme for Directors, Bank Managers and
Employees of Co-operative Department. The programme was jointly
organised by Maharashtra State Co-operative Federation Ltd. Pune and
District Co-operative Board, Amravati.
Dr. Mrs. S.S. Chandak is a trainer of Jaycee’s International
Training Organisation. She is also a resource person of Dr. Punjabrao
Deshmukh Prabodhini (ARTI) which provides training to government
employees from seven districts of the region on Stress Management,
Personality Development, ISO 9000 Series, etc.
Health check-up camps and programmes to alleviate various
social evils are regularly organized by the NSS unit in the adopted
villages.
3.4.6 How has the institution involved the community in its extension
activities? (Community participation in Institutional development,
institution community networking, etc.)

132
 The local community is involved in all the activities and
programmes undertaken by the college. As a result of encouragement
and determined persuasion by the faculty and the students the locals
show their participation in the stage programmes meant for them as
well as in the projects implemented in their localities.
3.4.7 Any awards or recognition received by the faculty / students /
Institution for the extension activities?
 The community services rendered by our N.S.S. volunteers are
appreciated by the local people and are duly recognised by the local
authorities. The Grampanchyats of adopted villages have honoured the

District’.
1) What were the evaluative observations made under Research,
Consultancy and Extension in the previous assessment report and how
have they been acted upon?
Observations of the Peer Team:
 i) The college may provide consultancy and extension services.
Our Compliance:
D.Tax. Department runs tax consultancy free of cost. Staff members of
the college and those from our adjoining sister concern Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi
High School are the beneficiaries of this consultancy. The Department of
Library provides consultancy services to research scholars. As of now ten
scholars have been benefited.
Our faculty’s and students’ contribution towards the National Mission
of Women Empowerment, dignified treatment to differently abled people,
removal of the affliction of child-labour is also notable. Dr. Mrs. R. Tabassum
was invited for a Radio Talk on “Khawatin Mein Talimi Bedari Ki Surate
Hal”. She also delivered a lecture on ‘Women Empowerment’ organised by
Anjuman Khawateen, Camp Amravati on Women’s Day Function.
Dr. Mrs. S.S. Chandak guided the students of Matoshri Vimlabai
Deshmukh Mahavidyalaya, Vinayak Vidya Mandir and G.S. Tompe College,

138
Chandur Bazar on Career Opportunities and Personality Development. She
also conducted several workshops on Personality Development for women and
adolescent girls in the various parts of country. Our N.S.S. volunteers take
special efforts in teaching illiterate adults of the adopted villages.
The Disaster Management and Emergency Cell is another unit of the
college which has been rendering remarkable service. The members of the
Cell visit the adopted villages and extend their helping hands to people
affected by natural calamities like flood, drought, etc.
ii) Efforts may be made to increase linkages with industries, Government and
non-government organizations for academic and extension activities.
Our Compliance:
The college has established linkages with M.I.D.C. Association,
Apeksha Homeo Society, C.A. Counseling Centres, Jaycee, etc.
iii) Faculty may be motivated to acquire research degrees in their respective
disciplines and contribute articles to the professional journals.
Our Compliance:
Since the first accreditation in the year 2004, twelve faculty members
have acquired doctorates in their respective disciplines while several others are
pursuing their doctorates. Seven members of our staff have published in all
sixteen books and more than 150 research articles of our teachers have been
published in various research journals/conference proceedings and souvenirs.
iv) Area – specific research be undertaken for linking the academic institution
with the community.

139
Our Compliance:
i) The Disaster Management and Emergency Cell is rendering
remarkable services in this regard. The members of the Cell visited the
adopted village and assessed the trail of destruction left behind by the flood.
Later they submitted an extensive report to the Gopalpur Grampanchyat office
in 2007.
ii) Since last few years the Vidarbha Region is afflicted with the
problem of farmers’ suicide. The N.S.S. unit of the college initiated a fact
finding and diagnostic drive to explore the causes and factors forcing them to
take such extreme step.

Accreditation with regard to Research, Consultancy and Extension?
 i) With a view to propagating the research culture (out of the campus)
the Political Science Department jointly with E.D. Cell organized a university
level workshop on ‘How to Write a Research Paper’ on 20th July 2008. Sixty
scholars from the Division participated in it.
ii) Since the previous accreditation by the NAAC in the year 2004, the
teachers of our college engaged themselves in research activities with renewed
vigour and zest. This is evident from the fact that 21 teachers are actively
involved in Major / Minor Research Projects, besides, twelve faculty have
completed their doctoral research while the rest are either on the verge of

140
achieving their doctorates or engaged in some or the other research activity.
iii) The Departments of Hindi and Commerce are the approved
research centres. Both the courses have full fledged research oriented subjects.
However, the response of the students to these research oriented subjects was
far from satisfactory initially as very few students would opt for them. The
college under a policy decision, mandated the P.G. students to opt for these
subjects to orient them towards research in a big way.
iv) D.Tax. Department runs tax consultancy free of cost. Staff
members of the college and that of Shri. Ganeshdas Rathi High School are the
beneficiaries.
The Department of Library has been gradually marching to develop
itself as a consultancy. It has come up with many novel ideas to maximise the
utility of its resources. It regularly flashes advertisements with a view to
making the scholars across the region aware of its unique collection. Many
scholars have responded to these advertisements positively and have been
reaping benefits. Over the last two years ten outside research scholars have
enrolled themselves to avail the library facility.
The Department’s contribution on the research front has also been
exemplary. It has collected approved synopses of some fifty research scholars.
It provides them the research material available with the library and the topic
related data. Apart from this, the Department enriches them with the topic
related data on regular basis. It regularly seeks the expertise of the Research

141
Committee in this regard.
v) Many creative and eye-opening programmes have been staged by
Dr. Mrs. U.S. Wadekar with a view to eradicating the evils of superstition and
blind faith.

a regular activity. Now the Department of English in a joint venture with the
Placement Cell runs regular English Speaking Classes to make the students

Criterion VII: Innovative Practices
7.1 Internal Quality Assurance System
7.1.1 What mechanisms have been developed by the institution for
quality assurance within the existing academic and administrative
systems?
 We have formulated IQAC and different academic &
administrative committees for efficient operation & proper
management of the day-to-day institutional functioning. The academic
activities are carried out in accordance with the academic calendar.
 The faculty maintain the account of daily teaching and other
activities carried out by them in the academic diary.
 The college has a tradition of upholding democratic spirit and
sharing values as seen in the decentralisation of power (IQAC
committees, conveners, members) and Principal, Heads of
Departments, etc. Regular meetings of HODs and Conveners of
different working committees serve the basis of mechanism for the
internal quality assurance of the institution.
 There is tangible co-ordination amongst all the departments and
the working committees. We have developed the practice of
nominating the senior most faculty as the stream-in-charge for the
effective functioning of the stream. The stream-in-charge is
responsible for making the faculty and the students in his fold deliver
the goods. Since the introduction of this practice, the qualitative

217
change is witnessed in the matters pertaining to regularity, punctuality,
timely completion of the assignments, healthy sharing of
responsibilities and adaptation and adoption of work culture in a
renewed spirit.
 Another notable practice is the nomination of Guardian-
Teacher, which has further narrowed the gap between the teacher and
the taught. The practice has resulted in bringing about regularity on the
part of the students as many of their academic and personal difficulties
are directly addressed at. The Guardian-Teacher also makes
recommendations on various classroom requirements.
 The Management has always been eager to upgrade the
infrastructure and administrative backup.
 We are gradually moving towards transforming our office into
a paperless one. With the initiative of the Parent Society, majority of
our administrative functions such as admission related works,
accounting, preparing of salary bills, etc. are computerized.
 Our non-teaching staff is fairly student-friendly. They see to it
that the students are not kept stranded during their day-to-day visits for
official works. Every student related correspondence made by the
university, government and other academic and administrative bodies
are timely conveyed to the students.

college in the entire university jurisdiction matches our sports
initiatives and efforts.
 The students contributing towards value addition and quality
enhancement are rewarded amply.

222
 Students of various departments are encouraged to pay visits to
industries, organizations, and places of historical & geographical
importance.
 Various departments arrange various competitions including
essay & quiz, and innovative programmes on marketing, mock stock
market trading, etc. for the enhancement of quality and competitive
spirit in the students.
 The students are motivated to participate in the inter-collegiate
debates, youth festival and games & sports tourney. Some of our
students find place in the university youth festival contingent (which
comprises of only 30 odd students) almost every year. A few of them
have scaled national heights also.
 The institution awards prizes and certificates to the outstanding
performers. It also sponsors the top notchers to participate in the

223
7.2 Inclusive practices
7.2.1 What practices have been taken up by the institution to provide
access to students from the following sections of the society?
 The institution takes every possible measure for providing
access to the students from the following sections of the society:
a) Socially Backward Students:
Around 50% of our students belong to backward classes. These
students are liable for various scholarships. All the information
regarding G.O.I. scholarships and freeships are conveyed to them well
in advance. The facility of paying the fee from the scholarship amount
is made available to those students who are unable to pay lump-sump
fees. The college administration works proactively to ensure that every
student fills up scholarship and freeship forms properly and appends all
the necessary documents. The office sees to it that the funds received
for this purpose is disbursed timely. The U.G.C. sponsored remedial
courses including the one meant for entry into services for SC/ST and
minority students were implemented by the college. Our faculty
spontaneously work towards giving these students required counseling.
These students are made aware of the privileges and opportunities
available to them.
b) Economically weaker section:
 The institution has a provision to give convenient installments
and considerable percentage of waiver to the economically weaker

224
students. The scheme of EBC concession is implemented effectively so
that the facility reaches to every liable beneficiary.
c) Differently abled:
 Our college is a chosen destination of almost all the visually –
challenged students of the city. The library staff of our college extends
its helping hands to these students by assisting them in the works that
they are unable or find it difficult to do. Braille material based on
curricula is also provided to the visually challenged students.
The study material of all the subjects is recorded and brought
out in audio version by the students and faculty of the respective
department. The Functional English laboratory is used for this purpose.
The prepared material is provided free of charge to them.
7.2.1 What efforts have been made by the institution to recruit 1) Staff
from the disadvantaged communities? Specify?
a) Teaching
b) Non-Teaching
 The recruitment norms are in consonance with the norms
prescribed by the university / government for recruitment of the
teaching and non-teaching staff. While filling the vacant posts the
constitutional provisions meant for the upliftment and betterment of
the disadvantaged communities are strictly followed by the college. An

225
appreciable number of persons have been recruited from the
disadvantaged communities.
7.2.2 What special efforts are made to achieve gender balance amongst
students and staff?
 There is a healthy gender ratio among the faculty, staff and
students in the institution. For the recruitment of the teaching staff the
UGC and the university norms are strictly followed. These norms do
not recommend any gender based reservation. As regards to the the
admissions of the students, they are made as per the criteria laid down
by the government (that leave little scope for achieving gender
balance).
However, around 30% of female teachers are appointed in the
grant-in-aid courses, while the percentage of female teachers in the
self-finance courses is around 75%. The percentage of female students
is around 40%. The ratio of male and female students on the Students
Council (2008-09) is 1:1.55. Two of the last five Students Councils
were led by the girl General Secretaries.
 The institution has adequately empowered Women Cell which
fairly looks after female related issues. The Cell arranges activities of
varied nature to ensure women-empowerment.

226
 The institution sees to it that out of three representatives of
teachers in the L.M.C. one is necessarily a woman ( so that the female
related issues are ideally raised).
 Female students are consistently encouraged to come forward
to shoulder various responsibilities such as Class Representatives,
Managerial assignments to manage various events and activities, etc.
 The girl students are made to feel at par with their male
counterparts.
 Special prizes such as ‘The Best Sportswoman’, ‘The Best
Female Student’, ‘The Best N.S.S. Female Volunteer’, etc. are
awarded every year.
7.2.3 Has the institution done a gender audit and / or any gender related
sensitizing courses for the staff / students? Give details.
 As of now the institution has not done any gender audit for the
staff and the students. Conducting such courses is not feasible as the
procedure for recruitment and admission is governed by the
government rules and regulations and the institution needs to follow
them in letter and spirit.
However, various courses run by the institution attract
appreciable number of female students, which ultimately helps the
institution in maintaining gender balance.

227
7.2.4 What intervention strategies have been adopted by the institution
to promote the overall development of students from rural/tribal
backgrounds?
 1) Majority of the Arts students belong to rural background.
The institution makes utmost effort to ensure that these students get
conducive atmosphere for their all round development.
2) Special remedial classes, English Speaking Classes and
Personality Development Workshops are conducted for the benefit of
these students.
3) Various U.G.C. sponsored courses run by the college also
contribute towards their upliftment.
4) N.S.S. is another platform which plays a pivotal role in the
all round development of the students from rural or tribal backgrounds.
They are encouraged to partake in this activity in greater number by
citing the achievements and contributions of their predecessors from
the tribal and rural belt. The initially hesitant and reluctant students
gradually come in the foreground to take over the entire mantle of NSS
to bring out their latent creativity in the forms galore. Over last many
years this activity has been benefiting and being benefited by the
students from rural area. They are also motivated to participate in the
activities like NCC and Sports.

228
5) The newly found excellence in extra-curricular and co-
curricular activities indirectly helps them raise their academic
performance as well.
These measures taken on the part of institution have been
contributing, in sure ways, in promoting the overall development of
students from the rural and tribal background.
7.2.5 Does the institution have a mechanism to record the incremental
academic growth of the students admitted from the disadvantaged
sections?
 As of now we don’t have any such mechanism. However, our
faculty is of the common view that many students coming from the
disadvantaged sections undergo phenomenal transformation both
academically and on co-curricular / extra-curricular front.
The relative change reflects in the over-all personality of these
students arising out of the exposure they receive in the college through
various curricular and extra-curricular activities.
7.2.6 What initiatives have been taken by the institution to promote
social justice and good citizenship amongst its students and staff?
How have such initiatives reached out to the community?

testimony to it.
4) The NCC cadets of our college are equally active. Almost
every year one or two of our cadets find place in National or State R.D.
parade. They have played a key role in winning C.M.’s banner for
Amravati NCC Group for the sixth consecutive year. Our cadets are

230
selected for various drives, special camps, etc. initiated and arranged
by the Maharashtra 8 Battalion for community service.

programme offerings and operations?

237
 We anticipate public concerns in our current and future
programme offerings and operations by taking into consideration the
global, national, regional changes and the consequent requirements.
Public concern is bound to have a core place in the offering or
operation of any programme with substance. We sincerely feel that all
the programmes at our disposal today have public concerns at their
centre. The public concern is what makes them purposeful, resourceful
and relevant. We are quite alive to the concerns with which the drafters
of the programmes have formulated them. So, we as an institution and
faculty together try to execute the programmes in our fold, by creating
an awareness regarding these concerns in the day-to-day lectures, as
well as by holding seminars, guest lectures and allied activities. These
activities help in intensifying the responsibilities of the taught towards
public concerns. Efforts are being made to make these concerns an
inseparable part of our students’ personality and take them beyond the
domain of bookish learning and narrow self-interest. The need to take
up this responsibility increases manifold given the regional, national
and international changes.
7.3.6 How does the institution promote social responsibilities and
citizenship roles among the students? Does it have any exclusive
programme of the same?

238

The N.S.S. unit regularly conducts programmes like sapling plantation,
blood donation camp, cleanliness drive and special annual camps at the

services to the S.G.B. Amravati University’s Mobile Blood Donation
Unit.

240
7.3.9 Describe how your institution determines student satisfaction,
relative to academic benchmarks? Do you update the approach in
view of the current and future educational needs and challenges?

institution. The faculty receive all sorts of co-operation and
encouragement from the institution for a continuous up-gradation of
knowledge which enables them attain the set benchmarks.
Our faculty make an all out effort to meet the current and
future educational needs and challenges. Most of our faculty have
completed their Ph.Ds and M.Phils. Almost all of the faculty have
completed the requisite Refresher and Orientation courses to acquaint
themselves with the current educational trends.
A voluminous number of minor and major research projects
they are working on and research papers published at State, National

addressed. Other faculty also proactively offer counseling of all sorts
whenever it is sought.
8) Suggestion Boxes are placed at the main entrance of the
college office, library and at other important places.
9) Our teaching faculty’s single-minded dedication towards
implementation of extra-curricular activities in general and for the
growth of games and sports in particular is a unique example.
10) To inculcate in student a sense of social responsibility
(through various activities) is our motto.
7.3.11 What is your complaint management process? How do you ensure
that these complaints are resolved promptly and effectively? How
are complaints aggregated and analyzed for use in the
improvement of the organization, and for better stakeholder
relationship and satisfaction?
 We have a tradition to settle complaints or grievances at the
individual level (students confiding in the faculty and seeking their
assistance for the settlement of issue, if any): In case the complaint is
not resolved at this level, the assistance of the Principal is sought for its
amicable solution.
We have the following formal mechanism for the same:

functioning or non-functioning of the facility / facilities, the Principal
assigns responsibility of correcting it to the concerned employee. The
concerned has to resolve the problem, if any, in close co-ordination
with the convener of the concerned committee.
b) When the complaint is with regard to interpersonal relationship:
The complainant and the person against whom the complaint is
made are given a hearing to elicit the facts.
On the basis of the facts in the complaint and their
corroboration during the hearing, an oral order is passed to resolve the
problem. Depending on the severity of the problem, written orders are
passed and actions are taken against the erring party.

244
We have an independent Grievance Redressal Cell to deal with
the grudges and contentious issues related to the staff.
The Cell functions on the lines of following guidelines:-
1. Grievance Redressal Committee shall consist of teachers’ and
non-teachers’ representatives in the L.M.C.
2. This Committee shall deal with the grievances of the staff only.
3. The Committee shall take cognizance of the complaints submitted
to it in writing.
4. The Committee shall endeavour to seek / get an amicable solution
at the college level, failing which the grievance shall be referred to
the L.M.C.
The formal and informal measures are put into service with
utter institutional sincerity for better relationship and satisfaction of all
stakeholders. We are happy to note that none of the stakeholders had to
take recourse of this mechanism over last 5 years or so. This is an
evidence of the cohesive and collective march of all stakeholders
towards the desired end.

245
1. How are the core values of NAAC reflected in the various functions of
the institution?
National Development :
 We, being a Higher Education Institution become a natural
partner to the NAAC assigned mission of having a role in a significant human
resource development and capacity building of individuals to cater to the
needs of the economy, society and the country as a whole and thereby
contributing to the development of the nation. Our institutional mission
statement ‘Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya’ matches in toto with the NAAC’s
mission statement.
Our efforts to contribute towards the national development are spelt
out herewith:
Human Resources Development and Capacity Building of
Individuals :
As regards to fructifying this core value, we have been making efforts
since the very inception of our institution in the year 1960. This reflects in our
alumni taking all the changes, challenges and trends in their own stride. Our
efforts towards fine-tuning have duly been reciprocated in right earnest by our
students. As a result, our alumni have thrived in almost all spheres of human
life (business, social life, professional careers, private sector, public sector,
etc.).

246
Equity and Social Justice:
We have got our students from the different economic and social strata
of the society. More than 50% of our students belong to the socially
disadvantaged communities, minority classes and economically backward
strata. The girl students claim around 40% of the total student-strength. We
also have a host of visually-challenged students who have been choosing our
college as the study centre for their higher education. The institutional
grooming of a visually-challenged swimmer of international repute, Ku.
Kanchanmala Pande, is a fairy tale story for the rest of the world to see. The
college is working day in and day out to see her scale new heights.
Our teaching and non-teaching staff consists of the cross-section of the
society. So the institution becomes a living example of equity and social
justice.
Increasing Access to Higher Education :
Our college was started in the year 1960 with just one course of B.A.
In 1962, B.Com. (with Marathi and Hindi media) was added to it. In the year
1970 M.A. Hindi was introduced. One more step towards increasing access to
higher education was taken when M.Com. was introduced in the year 1972.
The college continued its vertical mobility and P.G. Diploma Course in
Taxation and B.Com. English medium were introduced in 1981. The college
has Junior College (Arts and Commerce) which was started in 1976. A cluster
of Minimum Competency Vocational Courses was introduced in 1992.

247
A series of time demanded professional courses were introduced in the
last few years.
A Bird’s Eye view of the vertical mobility of the college towards
increasing Access to Higher Education:
1) B.A. (1960)
2) B.Com. (1962)
3) M.A. Hindi (1970)
4) M.Com. (1972)
5) Junior College (XI & XII) (1976)
6) B.Com. (English Medium, 1981)
7) Diploma in Taxation (1981)
8) Diploma in Business Management (2003)
9) B.M.C (2005)
10) B.B.A. (2006)
11) M.C.M. (2006)
12) M.A. History (2006)
13) M.A. Geography (2006)
14) B.C.A. (2008)
15) Career oriented certificate courses.
16) M.B.A. Study Centre (YCMOU, Nasik)
Thus, the college which started with a few hundred students has since
become a big HEI having around 2500 students.
Fostering Global Competencies :
The developments at the global level and the post-NAAC scenario
have definitely made us redesign and relook our educational preparedness to
be more ‘innovative, creative and entrepreneurial’ in our endeavour to ensure
skill development among the students. Our efforts to introduce English
Literature and Functional English (both subjects are being run from our own
resources) at B.A. level and introducing manifold facets of Computer as a
subject at B.Com. (where thrust is on English medium as out of the total four
sections two belong to English medium) level are the positive baby steps taken

248
to revamp and re-energize our traditional streams to transform them into the
little world of two streams imparting competent learning to take our students
to the ‘world of skilled work’ where they could prove their worth by
successfully competing with their counterparts elsewhere.
Besides this, we have added professional courses like B.B.A., B.C.A.,
M.C.M., etc. in the recent past apart from the old – duo of Diploma in
Taxation and Diploma in Business Management. In all of these courses we
provide instruction through English medium only. Given the pressing need,
English is being used as one of the media of instruction in our P.G.
Commerce. Besides, a fresh proposal is forwarded for an additional English
Medium section for M.Com.
In the Computer Courses like B.C.A., M.C.M., the theory is supported
by practical in the laboratories with the state-of-the-art technology. The
Computer labs are based on Thin Client Technology and are fully networked.
Internet facility is available on all the systems in the labs. Our students are
taken to industries and business houses for giving a practical touch to the
theoretical instructions provided in the class rooms.
The interest and response of the industry and the corporate shown
during various placement drives carried by them and seeing them find our
little world of learning competent enough, over last few years is highly
heartening and satisfying.

249
Inculcating the Value System Among Students :
We as an educational institution stand as a natural heir to the cultural
heritage as well as to the value system underlined and upheld by the
constitutional makers and policy drafters.
We are the legitimate successor to the goals, the vision and mission
statement of the institution and are bound by the unwritten commitment made
with late Smt. Kesharbai Lahoti, (the woman after whom the college is
renamed in 1985) who was an epitome of generosity and philanthropy.
Besides, our university is named after Sant Gadge Baba, an illiterate social
scientist and reformist saint, who upheld scientific attitude and yearned all
through his life to take education to the underprivileged.
We celebrate anniversaries of the great leaders of the nation like
Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Lokmanya Tilak, etc. The
students are acquainted with the ideals of these leaders through various
activities run by the institution on the lines of the values and ideologies
underlined by them. ‘Youth Day’ is celebrated every year on grand scale to
mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, an ever inspiring, vivacious
and vigorous youth leader of all time.
Our N.S.S. volunteers emulate the examples of the university- assigned
“trio of luminaries” from the region -Rashtra Sant Tukadoji Maharaj, a saint,
poet and national reformist; Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh, who was the first
Agriculture Minister of the Country, an educationist and agriculturalist par

250
excellence and and Sant Gadge Baba. The legacy of great social work that
they left help N.S.S. volunteers strengthen their resolve of ‘Not Me But You’
while taking up various activities for implementation.
To imbibe a sense of responsibility, co-operation and mutual
understanding among the students many activities are carried out. On
Teacher’s Day, the students perform the administrative and teaching activities
on behalf of the teachers and the office staff respectively. Our students are
entrusted with the responsibility of managing and conducting various
activities, functions and events with a view to imbibing a sense of co-
operation and mutual understanding. We have students-in-charge and various
groups to give impetus to leadership qualities and team skills.
The conduct of mega event like Annual Social Gathering is entrusted
to the Students Council where all the cultural and talent oriented programmes
are designed, developed and managed by the students only.
The display of maxim, inspiring thoughts, signifying values,
commandments, etc. in the college campus, making college specified uniform
compulsory, etc. are other notable institutional measures in this regard.
The most significant effort and the best shot on this front is being
given through our sports activities. Our sports persons have set a very high
benchmark and established an ideal example of application, co-operation,
mutual understanding, professionalism, honesty and motivation. In the
absence of these values the glorious performances at higher levels (University,

251
State, Intervarsity, National & International levels) would not have been
possible.
Apart from the various cultural activities and other talent oriented
programmes carried out by various departments, the college organizes many
allied activities. In the backdrop of the tragedy in the state capital, Mumbai
(26/11) in 2008, our students cancelled the conduct of Annual Social
Gathering and the amount earmarked for the purpose was donated to the Crisis
Relief Fund. Annual Social Gathering is a blend of value based and
entertaining items.
Dignity of labour is another core value we try to inculcate among our
students through various activities. Our students gleefully accept all types of
assignments entrusted to them during the conduct of various events
irrespective of their nature and scope. They wholeheartedly participate in the
cleanliness drives and other such activities where they are exposed to perform
even the manual labours.
Our Hon’ble Ex Principal, Late Shri. R. N. Mundhada, is still
remembered for his environmental legacy and his contribution towards
initiating the beautification drive of the city of Amravati. Majority of trees
standing tall on the Badnera Railway Station campus and also on the flanks of
some of the important roads of Amravati are reminiscences of his love for
nature. This gesture exhibited by our Ex-Principal keeps us reminding to
contribute our fair bit towards environment.

252
Promoting the use of Technology:
Our Computer Department assigns innovative projects to the students
which help them learn new technology. We promote the use of new
technology towards teaching - learning activity and employ modern gadgets
like LCD projectors, OHPs, audio visual aids, etc. for the purpose. We have
provided internet facility to our faculty and students. Teachers make the most
of these facilities for making teaching more effective.
As a step towards managing the activities of the institution in a
technology-enabled way, the office operations and library functionings have
been computerized through Local Area Network and ‘Thin Client
Technology’, which has improved the quality of our office and library services
considerably.
We have our website. We keep our links updated from time to time.
We install a new hardware as and when required e.g. during 2008-09,
we have established computer network in office and library 10 and 4 nodes
respectively.
Quest For Excellence:
While the HRD Ministry, the UGC, the NAAC, the University and
other statutory bodies are doing their jobs, we as higher education institution
are expected to make teaching-learning more learner-centric so as to empower
the learners to develop a cosmic vision to apply the received information to
the real world with a cross-cultural and multidisciplinary approach. The first

253
accreditation by the NAAC in the year 2004 had definitely provided us with a
refreshed and renewed approach to take up this responsibility of bringing our
students to a state of preparedness where they realize that they are going to be
evaluated not in terms of marks and percentile only but their quest for
excellence and thirst for integrity are also to be tested aptly by the real world.
The establishment of IQAC is a step in this direction. It has been trying to
bring in quality in all the facets of the college through the establishment of
infrastructure and learning resources and upgradation of human resources. The
IQAC is thus a stepping stone upon which the further edifice of progress of the
institution rested.
We have attached 11 core working committees splitting into 15 sub-
committees to the IQAC. These Committees have proved very handy for the
planning and execution of academic and administrative activities and for the
attainment of excellence in their respective fields. They have been assigned
with the specific area of operation for which they plan in consultation with the
IQAC. This mechanism has delivered us good results for the attainment of
excellence as it has ensured a proactive participation of all the concerned in
the planning and execution of activities and in their respective assignments.
This has ingrained a feeling of belongingness among the concerned
stakeholders. Today, our faculty and staff are motivated enough to impart their
best experiences and services to the students.
