2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)

Students are given an opportunity to see their internal marks and approach the concerned teacher if they have any queries on the same. Marks scored in the internal exams are signed by every student before appearing for the final exams. Students are told to prepare power point presentations on the topics taught. Each one of them is assigned a different topic to inculcate independent learning. They then asked to present these presentation before the class. They are also asked to clarify any queries put up by their class mates. These presentations are marked as internal assessment. During these sessions they are advised how to improve their presentations and how to communicate well. There is marked improvement in the student presentation when they make their presentations subsequently. Cheating is not appreciated and marks are deducted if they are caught doing that.

The Other Best practices of the college The Practice of Recognition and Reward

Recognition of Good Service to Non Teaching Staff: The Non teaching staff is the backbone of the college. Without their support and service it is impossible to run the college. Many of them have been giving good service from several years. They are reprimanded at several occasions and sometimes their services go unnoticed. To encourage and recognize their services ourPrincipal Dr Savita Roy has started the good practice of rewarding the Permanent Non Teaching staff in recognition of their good service to the college, Last year our Caretaker Mr Devan and the head Gardener Mr. Banarsi lal was felicited on the annual day. This year it proposes to recognize the Safai Karamchari and the Cashier Mrs Usha Choudhary. This enhances their morals and encourages others to work similarly. The college also felicitates those Nonteaching Staff who have retired that on the annual day of the year. The Various Awards/scholarships given to Meritorious Students The college has a practice of recognizing meritorious students of the college. 190 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

Recognition of Teaching Staff: College has good practice of recognizing teachers who have completed twenty five years of service in the college. College also recognizes the teacher who retires after their service, on the annual day. Paperless Voting Practice

This year‘s elections were unique as the students exercised their votes using electronic voting machines (EVM) and it marked the beginning of paperless elections at the college level. The students were also trained to cast votes using EVM as many of them were first time voters. The salient features of this year‘s elections were: The results were available with the click of a button and so it was time saving. Much less manpower was needed for making arrangements and to conduct elections. Above all the students were satisfied with the results as the chances of discrepancies that can sometime arise in manual counting were not there.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strengths: Department of Biochemistry is dedicated for spreading science among the youngsters. The teachers in this department are passionate for contributing to the betterment of college and young India through education. Through course work, assignments, projects, group discussions, presentations, students are trained for their future career. The department has various DBT,DST, DRDO funded projects which helps to train students beyond the purview of prescribed syllabus and helps to inculcate scientific temperament in the students. The students are given exposure to scientific research via regular educational trips to premier research institutes of the country. Participation of students in the DU innovation projects has proven to be very instrumental in giving them hands on training in developing and solving actual scientific problems, encouraging them to take up research in the future. Establishment of the Drosophila Resource Centre and Zebrafish Research Centre has been an important step in encouraging the students towards research.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

Strengths:

The department has a cadre of well qualified and dedicated faculty with emphasis on extensive interaction with students. Students are given exposure to various techniques through many ongoing research projects.

Weaknesses: a) The lack of space (classrooms and Laboratories) is a major impediment in imparting elaborate and effective knowledge, starting training courses and creating adequate space for research activities. b) The new learning of the age requires greater proficiency in soft skills among students. The department despite having the necessary expertise has not been able to initiate new skill enhancing activities. c) Eco-friendly chemicals/ methods needs to be employed frequently and effectively so as to minimize the pollution and health hazards. d) The unsatisfactory level of comprehension and communication due to varied socio- economic background of many of the students admitted in the department is responsible for poor language competence. Time constraints due to semester system pose the difficulty.

Other Achievements of the Economics Department OPTIMA: Towards Excellence:-The Annual Economic Magazine of Daulat Ram College

Department of Economics of the college released the third edition of its annual economic publication, OPTIMA : Towards Excellence. This economic outlook offered a platform for the students and teachers to display their research endowments in the field of economics through articles, research papers, caricatures, photographs and other forms of write ups. Economics and its myriad tangents – social, political, legal and environment were duly covered. It fetched contribution from colleges and universities across the country. An insightful conversation with an eminent economist was a distinctive feature of this edition. Besides these, it covers the activities and events simulated by the department in the academic year 2014-15. OPTIMA 2015-16 was a combined effort of teachers, students and the alumni of the department.

It was released on the inauguration ceremony of ECONOMANIA, the annual economic festival of the department, by Dr. Jayati Ghosh, Professor at Jawaharlal Nehru College. The event experienced an enriching session by her on the topic of Eurozone Crisis, followed by the release.

ECONOVOGUE, the Annual Economic blog started in 2013, created by the department is a forum for the discussion, deliberation, and analysis of pertinent and wide-ranging economic and political issues. Among the many issues covered, some issues such as Euro-debt crisis, deficit in the Indian economy, rural electrification and gold imports garnered huge attention.

It proved to be a springboard for students to explore economics beyond the books and to augment their understanding of its application in the global world.

ECLAT remains among the very few departments in the University to come up with this concept, and Econovogue has so far benefitted many students by helping them develop and express 240 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

The Department of Economics has been one of the most proactive, innovative and hardworking departments in the college. The strength of the department lies in the extraordinary result of the students and the fact that they are geared up and prepared for other spheres of life like community service and skill development hand in hand with academics.

The cut off for admissions to the department for the last 5 years has been in the range of 95%- 97%. The pass percentage of our students has been 95% with nearly 65% scoring 1st divisions.

Our students have also held university positions in the past. Parul Jain scored the 2ndposition in the University in Economics for the year 2013-14.

A lot of our students have been placed at reputed organizations. Priyamvada (2008), after pursuing M.A from Delhi School of economics, is currently working with Dunnhumby. Swati

244 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

SELF-STUDY REPORT 2016

(2010), after pursuing M.A. from London School of Economics worked with Ernst and Young. For more details on placements, please refer to Annexure 2(b).

The students of Economics have been extremely active in community and social service. Under the Women Development Cell (WDC) and in collaboration with Goonj (an NGO), they were a part of conducting collection drives, awareness workshops and surveys under their various programs (cloth for work, school to school, Rahat, NJPC, Green etc.). The students also created a short film to spread mass awareness on issues and problems faced by Indian women in the society. As part of WDC the students participated in I AM SHAKTI movement organised in association with The Times of India.

Various skill development activities have been organized in the department for the students such as workshop on SPSS, an econometric package through which the students become capable of running econometric techniques on computers for research projects. Many presentations were given by team of Career Launchers, for giving a better idea to the students and helping them decide their career options.

Many training sessions were given to the students for participating in MUN Conference (Modelling United Nations) held in the College in March 2015. Also a National Olympiad test, was conducted in 2014 by the Finance and Investment Cell of the Economics Association to test the financial skills of the students. Many students were given certificates for being winners in the same.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Some of the challenges that the Department faces are lack of good infrastructure, space and inadequate computers per student With these issues, it becomes difficult to conduct and exercise a lot of extra-curricular activities besides the ongoing ones that the Department intends to indulge in. Hence, these are some of the constraints to the further growth of the Department The challenge therefore is to keep motivating the students to perform and take keen interest in all activities. The Department has been working tirelessly for that and the faculty hopes to overcome these obstacles soon. Also because the department comprises mainly of young faculty, it has not been extremely active on the projects and publications, which may take some more time to develop. Here we see a lot of potential and opportunities in the form of some projects that the department is keen to work on and is already a part of such as Innovation and Star Projects. These projects include, Estimating The Carbon Footprint Of The College, Impact Of Social Media On

245 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

SELF-STUDY REPORT 2016

The Students' Performance, skills in entrepreneurship and general. communication, project on street hawkers, estimating their average income, expenditure patterns etc. The department has also got funding from the university for these projects.

Future Plan: Areas which probably need to be improvised upon are good infrastructure, space and adequate computers per student. Also because the department comprises mainly of young faculty, it has not been extremely active on the projects and publications, which may take some more time to develop. Here we see a lot of potential and opportunities in the form of some projects that the department is keen to work on. These projects include, estimating the carbon footprint of college, skills in entrepreneurship and general communication, project on street hawkers, estimating their average income, expenditure patterns etc. the department is therefore looking forward to some good sources of funding from funding institutions. Gathering that will be a challenge but we do sincerely hope that the concerned institutions will be coming forward to help and support us in our endeavor to continuously work and innovate.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

Strengths:

• In spite of most of faculties being temporary, our dedicated and supportive faculty strongly focuses upon quality education. • Inculcating knowledge through diverse means like interactive classes, group discussions and field trips. • Faculties are diverse in their research areas and regularly participate in various workshops and seminars. • The teaching methodology is interdisciplinary with a hand-on approach. • Library well equipped with subject related books. • Students are encouraged to go beyond the text books in their projects and presentations.

Weakness:

• Lack of proper infrastructure in terms of the classrooms with modern technical facilities, having no rooms for the staff and for interactions like workshops, projects, seminars and conferences. • Instability of faculty because of university constraints, but still manage to produce good output.

Opportunities While academia and school teaching are obvious options for history students, there is wider horizon for those trained in this discipline. Administration, fashion , journalism, film and drama, tourism, think tank and social work are some viable career alternatives. The faculty is diverse in their research area and hence can acquaint young minds with different research fields.

275 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

SELF-STUDY REPORT 2016

Challenges and Future Plans:

• Organizing State and National level Seminars and Workshops. • Giving students experience of small research projects and papers. • Inculcating mode of teaching that helps students to clear national and state level exams.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Futureplans:

Inherent limitation in undertaking large scale activities/ programmes, due to single teaching faculty and no Honours students. For the same reason, students‘ achievements and other parameters pertaining to NHE department are not measurable.

An Honoursprogramme in Home Science would be a great value addition to the department. This would open a plethora of opportunities for students, particularly girl students. Nutrition has been recognized and given a special role in national development. Nutrition generates lot of concerns, issues and is very close to every individual‘s heart. Nutrition is the key to facilitate the study and enhance the quality of human life. Its approach is therefore inherently interdisciplinary. The study of nutrition in-depth would help a student to develop a holistic and multi-dimensional understanding of the various topics. The course would equip the students for skill development, academic understanding, entrepreneurship, community role and employment in various fields of food industry, health clinics, NGOs, etc. With greater student and faculty strength, programmes for creating awareness regarding health, nutrition and disease can be organized from time to time and basic skill development courses for students and teachers of the college can be conducted. The expansion of the department would further diversify the character of the college.

Strengths: The teachers and students make constant effort to rigorously analyse the complexities of

314 DAULAT RAM COLLEGE |

SELF-STUDY REPORT 2016 several crtical issues and dilemmas in society. The hardwork put in by the teachers has contributed in significant ways not only to the academic performance of the students but also to the development of the institution.

The department collberates with other Universities,Research Centres,NGO‘s and social action groups to organise series of events held in various academic session to explore the finer nuances of the discourse that dominates the world order.This enables the students to move beyond the existing intellectual formulations to converse with the live realities more closely through empiricalresearch and field visits,which takes them towards an adequate understanding of the descilpline . Our faculty has been a part of curriculum revision and has been able to contribute in the preparation of reading materials for students

Weaknesses: Lack of Infrastructural facilities remains a hurdle in taking extra classes.

Opportunities: The department has been able to develop both essential and additional readings for the students. Challenges: A major challenge is to provide space to the students to express their understanding beyond the structured course curriculum. Unavailibilty of reading materials in hindi is a major challenges for both teachers and students.

The curriculum is relevant and practical that enables students to pursue various career opportunities after college. The interdisciplinary courses are beneficial to students from other departments and streams equally. The use of ICT makes it modern and significant for today‘s progressive approach. Weaknesses: The students, at the time of admission, are vary of studying Sanskrit due to the general impression that Sanskrit is tough. The lack of promotion makes it tough to convince students. Moreover though there is no dearth of opportunities for hardworking students still lack of opportunities for average student is a discouragement for the course. Opportunities: Providing exposure and opportunities to the students at College and University levels. The course opens up various avenues for the students. The students can either pursue further studies or can go for competitive exams after the course. Challenges: Disinterestedness of students and non-availability of the specific tools and ancient texts makes it tough. Besides students dropping out in middle of the course for
