PREFACE
The great visionary and champion of the downtrodden, architect of our Constitution, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar embraced Buddhism on the hallowed and sacrosanct Deekshabhoomi in 1956 and thereafter thought of imparting education to the downtrodden from urban areas. The clarion call was: Educate, Agitate & Organize.
This led to the formation of a trust Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Smarak Samiti in 1958, which then established this college in the year 1964. The late Padmashri Dadasaheb Gaikwad was the Founder President of this Samiti, Ex-Governor of Kerala and Bihar was the President of Smarak Samiti from 1972 to 2015. At present Hon’ble Bhadant Arya Nagarjun Shurei Sasai is the President Shri.Sadanadandji Fulzele has been the Secretary since 1963 to-date. The new building of Dr. Ambedkar College of Arts and Commerce (as it was known then) was formally inaugurated by then Chief Minister, Mr. Vasantrao Naik, in June 1964. Three years before that, Mr. Y.B. Chavan, then Chief Minister of Maharashtra transferred 13 acres of Government land to the Smarak Samiti and also laid the foundation of the College to erect a fitting memorial in the name of Dr. B.R.Ambedkar.
From very humble beginnings, Dr. Ambedkar College too has marched ahead with steady strides. Many were the travails, trials and tribulations which the founding father had to face, the biggest hurdle of all being finance. With the generous and timely assistance from Shri. Manoharbhai Patel procured by Adv. Shri. N. H. Kumbhare, Vice-Chairman of the Managing Committee, the deposit money of Rs. 20,000/- was duly paid to the University and permission was granted to this College.
The arduous journey thereon was an uphill task and the illustrious founder members of the Samiti have always acted over these years as guiding beacon lights.
The dedication and valuable contribution of such extraordinary personages such as Shri. R. R. Patil, Shri. W. K. Ganar, Adv. Shri. M. M. Yeole, Adv. Shri. N. H. Kumbhare, Shri. R. J. Kamble, Shri. Bhayasaheb Ambedkar, Dr. S. V. Ramteke, Shri. S. M. Ramteke, Shri. G. D. Patil, Shri. D. R. Patil, Shri. J. M. Mool, D. M. Gajbhiye and Shri. S. D. Patil shall always occupy a place in the history of this institution.
At present this honourable task continues to be shouldered by the following members:
Adv. Shri. M. M. Yeole, Shri. V. T. Chikate, Shri. P. K. Bhagwat, Adv. A. S. Fulzele, Shri. N. R. Sute, Dr. R. R. Gavai, Shri. D. G. Dabhade, Dr. S.S.Fulzele and Shri.V.M. Gajghate. Late Shri. J. M. Mool, Late Shri. Eknathji Haware and Late Shri. Dinanathji Sharma were also members of this team until their recent demise.
From its infancy, the college has been led forward with albeit faltering steps by capable, sincere and zealous Principals. Under the leadership of our first Principal, Mr. Y. M. Pathak, this College in its nascent stages took charge of his duties and responsibilities on 2nd July, 1964. Thus the College began with just five classrooms, five lecturers, and 300 students, imparting education in the faculties of Arts and Commerce.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 6 Self Study Report 2015-16
Today, the College proudly claims to house more than 50 classrooms, has on roll around 6000 students, and offers various courses in multiple disciplines with over 70 permanent members of the teaching staff as well as 53 members comprising the non- teaching staff. Education in the Science Stream commenced in 1969 and Law stream was introduced in 1984. At present, there are around 400 students enrolled in Law courses and this discipline has its independent building on the campus. Undergraduate Courses in Biotechnology and BCA Science began in 2006 and 2008 respectively.
DACN offers a number of post-graduate Courses. M. Com in both mediums was started in 1980. Since 1994 we began with M.A. in English, Economics and Marathi and M.Sc. in Chemistry, Computer Science, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. In 2008 we took off with Diploma and Advanced Diploma course in Bioinformatics and a one-year PG Diploma in Biochemical Genomics (Pharmacogenomics). Under the UGC Innovative Programme since 2013, a one-year Diploma Course in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology has commenced very successfully. The latest courses to be added to this plenitude are: Master’s Degree Programme in Law in Constitutional Law, Business Law, Criminal Law, M.Sc. in Physics as well as Diploma in Health Care Assistance (Geriatric Care).
These fifty three years have seen the successful tenure of eleven past Principals Mr. Y. M. Pathak, Mr. M. R. Srinivasan, Dr. A. K. Sinha, Prof. T. K. Damodaram, Prof. M. K.Dongre, Dr. R. Krishnakumar, Dr. Mrs. A. A. Sinha, Dr. I. H. Jeevaji, Prof. T. C. Warkar, Dr. D. M. Jaiswal, Prof. S. M. Shende, Dr. Mrs. K. M. Reddy and at present Dr. P. C. Pawar.
It is no wonder, that this College was deservedly accredited by NAAC with the highest Grade in the year 2004, being the only college in Vidarbha to have received this singular recognition. The College indeed emerged as a most trusted centre for quality education in Central India!
The NAAC re-accreditation at the highest ‘A’ grade in 2011 bears testimony to our unrelenting commitment to quality and quest for progress. The College has also been accorded the status of ‘College with Potential for Excellence’ by the UGC in the year 2010. One more feather in our cap is that recently DACN has had the rare privilege of being designated as a “Community College” by the State Government and is one of the five colleges in Maharashtra to get this honour. Under this scheme the college has now initiated a diploma course in Health Care Assistance (Geriatric Care).
The Principal, Dr. Mrs. Reddy has been honoured by the Nagpur University with the Ideal Principal Award!
DACN is blessed with a work force of dedicated, committed and efficient teachers, who sharpen the acumen of their students, ignite their intellectual curiosity and equip them to take charge of their future.

*PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE*
It is with great pleasure and honour that I present this Self Study Report that carefully threads together an exhaustive narration of the multi-dimensional growth and progression of a glorious institution of higher learning. Dr. Ambedkar College stands in a place which has seen and witnessed one of the most phenomenal events known to Indian history. This is the soil on which that great revolutionary scholar namely, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism. The College, that has a history spanning over more than 50 years, is run under the aegis of Param Pujya Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Smarak Samiti. Since its inception till date, this college has rested on the enduring principles of social equality and social justice that were so eloquently advocated by Dr Ambedkar. The inclusive model of education that we stand for, predominantly reflects in several pages of this report.
The first accreditation of this institution by NAAC at the highest grade followed by its subsequent re-accreditation again at A Grade bears testimony to our unshifting commitment to quality and quest for excellence. The College has also been accorded the status of “College with Potential for Excellence.” Achieving these milestones was by no means an easy task. It was the concerted efforts of all the stakeholders that steered us to the road of progress. But since progression is not a one-time task that is achieved only once, but must consistently happen over a continuum of time, we now eagerly look forward to yet another re-accreditation exercise by the NAAC for the third time. In the past five years we have meticulously speculated on our pitfalls and shortcomings, while not losing on our strengths and our vision to achieve new targets. Concerted efforts have been made to overcome our weaknesses and remedy our defects. We thus eagerly look forward to the third visit of the NAAC peer team to our campus as we realize that every such exercise is a journey towards perfection.
This SSR is a reflection of our compliance to the prescribed parameters/criteria. It also documents how we have often travelled even beyond these specifications in our journey of imparting quality and affordable education. It evidences our implementation of the recommendations made by the earlier NAAC peer teams. The third visit of the NAAC team, we’re confident, will open the doors to further progression by pointing out where we lack, while also applauding our achievements.
We therefore eagerly look forward to welcome the NAAC peer team on the campus of this illustrious institution!

CRITERIA - WISE INPUTS
CRITERION 1: CURRICULAR ASPECTS.
1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution and describe how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders.
VISION To define futures through Qualitative, Enriching and Affordable education.
MISSION To create Next Generation Citizens of Character, Strength & Confidence, through focused Teaching, All Round Grooming, Individual Attention and Personality Enhancement.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur (DACN) was established in 1964 and is one of the oldest institutions in Nagpur affiliated to Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU), Nagpur. The emergence and establishment of the college was the result of the untiring efforts and zeal of the visionary Late Padmashri Dadasaheb Gaikwad and encouragement from many leading stalwarts like Late Shri R. S. Gavai, former Governor of Bihar and Kerala, former President of the Param Poojya Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Smarak Samiti, Shri Sadanand Fulzele, Secretary of the Samiti, Late Shri W. K. Ganar and Late Shri R. R. Patil and Bhadant Arya Nagarjun Shurei Sasai, President of Param Poojya Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Smarak Samiti.The dynamic and futuristic vision and ventures of the former Director Late Dr. R. Krishnakumar, former Vice Chancellor of Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University, Nasik have brought the institution to the National Level. The current status of NAAC Re-accreditation of A Grade has been achieved due to the leadership skills of former Principal Dr. Mrs. K.M. Reddy, Presently Director, College Development.
Dr. Ambedkar College is committed to sculpt future citizens by imbibing into them the highest professional skills. With this objective and the vision of providing qualitative and enriching education, the college caters to students coming from a cross section of society, especially targeting the underprivileged sections coming from both rural and urban areas. The college charges less fees or even waives it in special cases to ease the financial burden of needy students. The college has its focus on its mission to create strong, confident next generation citizens of sterling character and these objectives, Vision and Mission are conveyed to the students through the Prospectus, Information manual, Website and display boards placed strategically in the college campus. The college lays emphasis on the grooming of the students through personality development programmes like UNNATI, SETP (Skill Enhancement Training Programme) and
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 29 Self Study Report 2015-16
also through value education and lectures on moral values from time to time to all the students.
Communication to Teachers, Staff and Stakeholders
Regular meetings of the teachers, staff and stakeholders with the IQAC and the management ensures the discrimination of the goals and objectives of the college to impact education of the highest quality while addressing the demands of social justice and equity. The valuable inputs of teachers and staff are included by the management in implementing their Vision-Mission of creating next generation citizens.
1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum?
The college has a systematic approach to develop and deploy action plans for the effective implementation of the curriculum. The IQAC prepares the academic calendar of the college in consonance with the Annual Programme Plans of the departments prepared by the HODs and faculty members of the Department. The deployment of the APP is done through monthly meetings which begin at the end of the academic year in the month of April. Teachers in each department implement the APP of the department in accordance with their individual Teaching Plan prepared with respect to each subject. There is therefore a confluence of both departmental and IQAC in the effective implementation of the curriculum.
Students’ feedback on the curriculum alongwith feedback of academic peers is taken and helps in sorting out the difficulties faced by students in implementing the curriculum. Teachers, especially the teachers who are on the Board of Studies of the University are the catalysts of change required in the implementation of the curriculum from time to time. For example, the introduction of the semester pattern in the Science stream in the year 2012-13 and subsequently in the commerce stream in the year 2016-17 and Arts stream from the current year of 2016-17. The IQAC reschedules the academic calendar as per the need of running both the annual and semester pattern. The teachers stretch the hours at both ends to adjust both the patterns of the curriculum during the transition period.

1.3.5 Citing a few examples, enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum? Feedback from students and academic peers goes a long way in the effective delivery of the curriculum that is provided by the University . The student feedback on curriculum forms the basis for conducting various add on certificate or bridge courses. For example: In the department of Law students strongly feel that a course on Criminal Psychology or Forensics would help them in criminal practice after graduation. The teachers have in the
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 48 Self Study Report 2015-16
current academic year, framed a certificate course on Criminal Psychology on the basis of this informal feedback of students. Feedback from academic peers is relevant in enriching the curriculum and hence it is exercised annually to design add-on courses to fill in gaps in the curriculum and also to provide a wider learning base to the students. For example: The Statistics department has conducted a certificate course on “Microsoft Excel” to teach the application of Microsoft Excel in the statistical calculations which is otherwise not a part of the curriculum. This also gives an ICT base to an otherwise personal skill and calculation based subject.
1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes? The enrichment programmes are self designed by the college as an add- on to the curriculum provided by the University . The birth of these programmes is at the behest of essentially student feedback and feedback of the academic peers and therefore these are monitored on the basis of student admission to these courses, informal student feedback of the courses as to the utility of the courses. The college has the autonomy to restructure and redesign the enrichment programmes to suit the dynamics of the need of that course. For example : The Department of Law conducted a certificate course on Cyber Law in the year 2011 and owing to the student feedback and need of the hour, a One year Diploma Course was designed and conducted in the next year 2011-12. The University changed the curriculum to suit the growing necessity of including this law and hence introduced it as an elective optional subject from the year 2012-13.
1.4: Feedback System:-
1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of the curriculum prepared by the University? In view of the fact that the University designs the curriculum, the contribution of the institution in its design and development is through its teaching faculty members who are members of the BoS, currently the Special Task force of the University and various other Academic Bodies of the University. Normally the syllabus is revised every three years by the University but in the year 2012-13, the University introduced the credit based system and semester pattern in the science Under Graduate Courses. Our faculties who were on the BoS at the time were instrumental in curriculum restructuring. The academic peers who visit the college to review the performance of our teachers at the end of every academic year also discuss the various aspects of curriculum and give their suggestions. These suggestions are in turn discussed with members of BoS and conveyed to the University. Following members are on the Special Task force of the University Dr.S.M.Naranje (Department of Physics) Mr. V S. Pawar (Department of Electronics) Mr. R V. Patil (Department of Statistics) Shri.R.S.Bagade (Department of Zoology) Dr.DVNS Suresh (Department of Zoology)
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 49 Self Study Report 2015-16
Dr.D.N.Begde (Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology) in RTM Nagpur University and Gondwana University. Shri.U.J. Dongre (Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology) is on Biochemistry panel of Gondwana University. Mrs.B.A.Mehere (Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology) Dr. N. M. Khirale (Department of Law) Dr.A.D. Fulzele (Department of History) Dr.G. K. Kamble (Department of Economics) Dr.M. D. Wankhade (Department of Pali and Prakrit)
1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and stakeholders on curriculum? If ‘Yes’ how is it communicated to the University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes? The college annually and sometimes bi-annually takes feedback from students, academic peers, employers, alumni, community members and visiting national and international experts. The feedbacks are analysed by the Statistics Department of the college. The suggestions in the feedback are communicated to the University in the BoS meetings through the faculty by the Principal. Suggestions that pertain to changes which can be internally addressed by the College and taken cognizance of are further discussed and put up in the meetings of the IQAC and Head of Departments. Discussions of introducing necessary changes in teaching-learning methods or other such areas of curriculum delivery are held in these meetings and decision is accordingly taken by the College. A case in point is the designing and conduct of the Diploma Course on Clinical Research Management designed by the Biotechnology Department of the College to provide training to students with respect to role and opportunities in Clinical Research. Students’ feedback is another area by which the College brings about curriculum enrichment at the University level and introduces new programmes. The feedback of the students is discussed at the departmental level by the teachers and then conveyed to the BoS chairman through the Principal. The college considers the students’ suggestions and introduces new enrichment programmes. An example on this issue is the introduction of the one year Diploma Course by the Physics Department on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology which is funded by the University Grant Commission and the curriculum designed by the Physics Department is approved by the University. Alumni feedback and feedback from guests visiting the college is duly noted and similarly feedback from parents and other community members is kept in mind while designing the different add-on Certificate Courses like Soil Testing and Irrigation Water Analysis, Vedic Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Plant Tissue Culture, Taxation, Tally Accounting, Application of TORA Software, Phytochemistry. Feedback from Employers/Industries is relevant to the employability attributes of our graduates and these are taken during their visits to the college to deliver talks and interactions with students. An outcome of this feedback is the regular feature of Personality Development Programmes of UNNATI, SETP, and Entrepreneurship Development Programme. The Commerce Department has also conducted Certificate Programmes on Group discussion
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 50 Self Study Report 2015-16
and interview skills and Tally Accounting based on the suggestions given by employers.
1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the Institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/ programmes?

CRITERION II: TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION.
2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile
2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process? The college is centrally located on the holy Deekshabhoomi premises and is committed to serving the needy and underprivileged sections of the society. The college draws students from across the city and from near and far off rural areas of Vidarbha region especially and from the cross section of the State of Maharashtra. Wide publicity is given for admission in the following manner:- 1. College Prospectus and Information Manual provides a detailed information of the college, courses available, rules and regulations, admission procedure, fee structure, various activities conducted by the college, awards and scholarships given. 2. College Website. 3. Advertisements in National and Regional Newspapers. 4. The Admission Committee of each department provides personal counseling to each student at the time of admission. 5.

Our Alumni are placed in multiple areas of academics as well as industries and spread information about the college.
2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission to various programmes of the Institution. The college follows the mandates of equity, plurality and justice in the process of admission to various programmes by combining the methods of merit, entrance test and counseling. Every department has an admission committee supported by subject teachers who sit throughout the process of admission to conduct interview and provide counseling to the students in their choice of programme most suitable to their aptitude. This method is adopted in combination with the rules of CET where applicable (eg. Law) and rules of the University in case of maximum programmes in respect of merit and rules of Government to provide equal access to all categories. A mock entrance test is conducted by all departments at the time of admission to gauge student aptitude and accordingly counseling is provided. Students are given admission on merit basis while keeping in mind the precepts of equal opportunity and access. The Law department follows a similar rule based on the CET guidelines of the Government since the current academic year 2016-17; whereas earlier the department would display a merit list for the same.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 52 Self Study Report 2015-16
A single window caters to the process of form procurement, enrolment and fee payment to facilitate quick and efficient completion of the admission process. A similar procedure is also adopted for all Post Graduate and Diploma as well as non-grant courses where the Department Heads and the concerned faculty members are available for any queries and counseling required by students. Transparency in admission process is maintained through merit-cum- interview method in these courses also. Admission to Ph.D. programme is subject to clearance of PET conducted by the University and availability of vacant seats and guides/Supervisors in the subject.

The demand ratio of each subject/stream is clearly reflective of the efforts of the college in imparting quality education inspite of competing variables of fee structure and student inclination to professional courses. The college has a healthy demand ratio especially in all UG courses and the newer subjects in PG courses.
2.2 Catering to Student Diversity
2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently abled students and ensure adherence to Government Policies in this regard? The policy of the college with respect to differently abled students is one of inclusion. The differently abled students are given admission without
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 57 Self Study Report 2015-16
discrimination and irrespective of their scores in the previous examinations. In the current academic year, the college has 48 students who are differently abled out of which more than 50% are blind students and the rest are physically handicapped. The college informs these differently abled students about the special facilities available for their convenience like ramps for the physically handicapped, holding classes on the ground floor, escort in case a class is held on upper floors, availability of study material and audio cassettes, procuring of writers during examinations by college etc. The college has provided ramps at strategic places for the physically challenged students along with elevator in one wing. A wheelchair is available on premises for any assistance required by such students. The college has a stationery outlet “Staples” where such students are given employment alongwith their education in the college. Hostel facilities are also arranged for these students whenever the need arises. The college library has the facility of books in Braille for the blind students. College teachers provide recordings of lectures to blind students alongwith hand-outs in soft copy for the convenience of blind students. Cases in point are our Law teachers, Dr. Varsha Deshpande who gives recordings of her lectures while Dr. Hema Menon gives soft copy handouts of her lectures which can be read by them using the computer software. The NSS unit of the college has donated white sticks to blind students and has formed the Writers Club alongwith the English Department to facilitate the procurement of writers during examinations. These students are seated in a separate room during examinations.
2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘Yes’, give details of the process. Yes, the students are assessed by the institution in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme. The Science Departments conduct an entrance test even at the time of admission and the admission committees of every department counsel the students to facilitate the choice of proper electives and optional subjects at the time of admission. An Aptitude Test for all freshers is conducted right before the commencement of regular teaching in each programme to evaluate the strong, average and weak students. These students are accordingly given counseling, mentoring and encouragement to improve themselves. An induction or orientation programme for the freshers is a norm of every department before the commencement of the academic teaching and after conducting the aptitude test.

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice. The student aptitude test conducted before the commencement of the University programme enables the teachers to identify the good (scoring above 60%), average (scoring between 45-60%) and weak students (scoring below
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 58 Self Study Report 2015-16
45%). This strategy is designed to classify the students on the basis of their knowledge and skills in the programme chosen by them. Accordingly, different steps are taken to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students in the programme of their choice. Slow learners are counseled and guided to participate in remedial coaching and tutorials conducted for them. The teachers of every department act as mentors who enquire about their progress in studies and act as their guides and facilitators to achieve better in their academics. Such students and teachers call students specially to solve their difficulties before or after regular timings. The Induction or Orientation programmes conducted by each department bridges the gap of knowledge of the students. SETP module on Remedial English Language coaching is one such course to bridge the gap of knowledge of English Language for the Law students. The Departments of English, Maths and Physics conduct tutorials on a regular basis for the weak students to ensure that they cope up with the programme of their choice. The Chemistry department conducts soft skills development programmes for the Under Graduate and Post Graduate students of the Department. The college has in place a mentoring system where each teacher is incharge of mentoring atleast 8-10 students whereby they are counseled with respect to their academic and personal difficulties and problems. The teachers as mentors solve the academic problems of their respective mentees and encourage them to acquire new skills or participate in tutorials as per their personal needs. The college conducts the following Add-on enrichment courses to facilitate and bridge knowledge gaps.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational / learning needs of advanced learners?
The slow and advanced learners are identified by two methods. One by the aptitude test conducted by every department at the beginning of a programme and secondly by the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) conducted by the Department of Psychology. Slow learners and advanced learners are differently addressed according to their acumen by the teachers of the Department. Advanced learners are identified and given extra books of reference from the core library, encouraged to take up independent learning by research, special assignments, and participation in academic competitions, Seminars, in and outside the college. They are counseled and given guidance to appear in competitive exams like GATE, JAM etc. Such students are motivated to participate in project presentations and involved in Research Projects by Science Departments and also sent as research assistants with Researchers to visit Research Institutes. The Mentor-teachers give them special counseling regarding merit scholarships and career opportunities that are based on higher learning abilities. They are also given problems that involve their higher problem solving capacities. The Employment and Career Guidance Cell inspires them to attend campus training and interviews for job placements.
2.2.6 How does the institution collect, analyse and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out, challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided? At the time of admission, the members of admission committee interact and counsel all students but pay special attention to the students who belong to
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 64 Self Study Report 2015-16
economically weaker sections and guide them about the scholarships, fee concessions and other facilities available to the differently abled students. Parents are informed and counseled about these details at the time of admission and in subsequent Parent Teacher meetings with teachers. The Aptitude test at the beginning of the programme alongwith the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) identifies the slow learners. These slow learners and the ones at the risk of drop out are specially counseled by the mentor-teachers in the mentoring system. They are counseled and guided to participate in remedial coaching and tutorials conducted for them. The mentor-teachers enquire periodically about their progress in studies and motivate them to put in extra efforts to achieve more in academics. Special classes are conducted whenever necessary for difficult topics by giving prior notice. The English, Physics and Maths Departments conduct special tutorials for such students. Teachers call these students especially after classes to solve their difficulties. Students are given additional notes by teachers and practice tests are conducted for such students. Remedial coaching for improvement of English Language and communication skills are provided and students are encouraged to participate in the Personality Development programme conducted free of cost by UNNATI.
2.3 Teaching –Learning Process
2.3.1 How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules? Academic Calendar and Annual Programme Plan:- Annual Programme Plan is prepared by each department in April at the end of the academic year prior to Summer Vacation. Academic Calendar is prepared by the Principal in coordination with the IQAC in May during the Summer Vacation based on Annual Programme Plans.
Teaching Plan:- Teachers prepare the annual teaching plan in the months of June-July as soon as the academic year starts and before the commencement of classes. The teachers are responsible for strictly following the teaching plan and this is monitored by the Principal and the IQAC. Each teacher also chalks out his/her own lesson plan which is flexible to the needs of the learning process of the students but is an offshoot of the teaching plan. The lesson plan and the teaching plan are based on the syllabus, the teaching period in the semester, the college evaluation process and the University exam schedule. The teachers plan out theory and practical classes as required by the syllabus and lay down certain ground work to make it effective in the teaching-learning process like planning the lessons, planning the class and home assignments, scheduling the unit test and college preliminary exams, Tutorials, extra classes and other Bridge as well as remedial coaching classes with additional time span for the evaluation and assessment process.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 65 Self Study Report 2015-16
Each teacher maintains a daily dairy that is a window to the delivery of the curriculum by the teacher by taking into consideration the components of syllabus, Annual Teaching Plan, Course Completion alongwith notes on the teaching methods adopted by the teacher. The Daily Dairy evidences the adherence to teaching plan and the academic calendar. A Course Completion Certificate is submitted by teachers to the Principal.
Evaluation Blue Print:- Quarterly Unit Test are conducted in the University programmes with an annual pattern. However, a majority of courses are now within the semester pattern introduced by the University and hence conduct one Unit Test in one semester. The schedule of Unit Tests and college exams form part of the Annual Programme Plans of the department. Each teacher also conducts surprise tests, open book exams periodically in their respective subjects. Question Bank is prepared by teachers for the students. The evaluation of these tests is handed over to the students and teachers personally counsel and guide them on points and aspects requiring improvement. Preliminary college exams are conducted as per the time available in the schedule of the semester and the paper evaluated to help the students understand their weaknesses and strengths in the subject. The Assessment of the Unit Tests and the Preliminary College Exams is made based on the University evaluative pattern as a practice and learning experience for the students in preparation of the University examination. The Science departments also conduct workshops on how to prepare and appear in the University examination.
2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching-learning process? The IQAC is the nodal point for augmenting quality bench marks in the Institution. The important aspect of coordinating quality and administrative parameters is regulated by the unit of IQAC of the college. Enhancement of quality scales in the Teaching-Learning process being one of its continuous tasks, the IQAC is totally involved in the meticulous planning, organizing, implementation and development of the complete Teaching-Learning process right from the word go. The IQAC is instrumental in streamlining academic and other curricular activities of all departments so as to maximize efficiency of the schedule of the teaching-learning process. The IQAC plans seminars and conferences in coordination with concerned departments for the benefit of student learning. The IQAC holds meetings with the respective Heads of Departments to review the implementation of the Annual Programme Plan of each department in consonance with the Academic Calendar of the college. The IQAC takes notice of the implementation of the Annual Programme Plans of the various departments and prepares an Annual Development Plan at the end of each academic year. The IQAC is an integral part of the PBAS Review Committee that reviews the Self Appraisal Reports submitted by teachers at the end of every
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 66 Self Study Report 2015-16
calendar year. The IQAC cross checks the quality parameters implemented by teachers in the teaching process and teaching methods. The Principal gives feedback and suggestions to teachers based on the noting of IQAC. The IQAC formulates the teachers’ feedback system which is a strong tool to assess the teaching methods and approaches of teachers. The IQAC formulates and prepares the feedback system to take feedback from parents, academic peers and alumni about curriculum and this strengthens the mechanism of assessing, reviewing and restructuring the teaching-learning process to suit the needs of the students. The IQAC also monitors the Daily Diaries of the teachers to ensure adherence to the Teaching Plan and implementation of the academic calendar. The IQAC holds a meeting with the LMC and the Management annually before uploading the NAAC report and presents the Annual Development Plan for their perusal.Similarly, meetings are held with the LMC as and when required to take policy decisions on matters of administration and implementation of the plans of the college.
2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning among the students? The college has designed an effective student centric mode of teaching and learning. The support structures and systems available to teachers are: OHPs in every classroom and free transparencies given to teachers to make presentations. LCD in mini auditorium of the main building for making Power Point Presentations, showing documentaries, movies etc. The Mini auditorium is also used to conduct guest and special lectures. Computers are given to every department for teaching and researching through the internet. LCDs in 75% of classrooms in the Law Department for regular teaching and presentations by students. Smart Boards in Science Departments for interactive learning and demonstrations through virtual presentations. The student centric strategies adopted by teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning are unique to this college as they address the diverse needs of the students while making the learning process interesting and effective. Interactive Learning:- Teachers conduct interactive sessions with students and ask them questions on a topic. These are noted on the blackboard Brain activity is a regular feature of all departments where students are given a topic, concept, article from books to read. This is then analysed, discussed and reviewed in class. Case studies by the students of Law are the best illustration on the point. The senior students are encouraged to present and teach some topics under teacher supervision. This mode of peer learning enables them to freely interact with the senior in understanding a topic and imparts teaching skills to the senior students.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 67 Self Study Report 2015-16
Alumni of the college are invited to deliver talks and lectures and interact with students on certain topics in the syllabus or on the practical aspects of a topic in the curriculum. This enables the students to learn the practical application of topics in the syllabus. The Department of Mathematics has devised an innovative practice called the problem corner whereby students are given fresh and new problems to solve by using their higher learning capacities.
Collaborative Learning:- Hands on training, practical training and experiments in groups in the Science departments impart collaborative group learning for the students which leaves a lasting impression on their minds. Study tours to research institutions, biological excursions and visits to places of educational importance are again regular features of all departments of Science, Commerce, Arts and Law where the students learn in groups. Moot Court Competitions and activities imbibe working in groups to analyse cases and argue different viewpoints. This is an excellent method of practical training alone through collaborative learning. Quiz is organised by different departments where the student has to learn independently and also collaborate with another person in giving the correct answers. Group Discussions are also conducted routinely to encourage analytical abilities of students by addressing a problem or situation while discussing it in a group. Panel Discussions involving students enables them to understand different perspectives of any given topic while discussing and debating the same on a common platform. Independent Learning:- Students are encouraged to develop their presentation and expression skills by way of Power Point Presentation on topics allotted to them by teachers. Students participate in class seminars on predecided topics and are able to independently develop their own opinions of the same. Home assignments encourage them to research a topic on their own and prepare a detailed answer to a problem or topic. Students are encouraged to participate in debates and essay competitions in and outside college to imbibe independent thinking and communication skills. Students of Law make paper presentations in intercollegiate competitions and undergo internships at law offices, offices of Judiciary, Parliament and Firms of Lawyers to partake of practical training. Students are advised and motivated to watch educative TV Channels like National Geographic, Fox History, BBC and other news channels during their free time.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 68 Self Study Report 2015-16
2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners & innovators?

Class seminars on pre allotted topics of their choice foster the formation of scientific views and opinions. “Stats Quiz”, “Physi-Quiz”, “Biogenius Quiz”, “Problem corner in Maths”, “Law Quiz” and other informal quizzing sessions in class promote quick thinking and memory sharpening skills. Participation of students in Research projects engages them in the process of scientific research and gives them the satisfaction of arriving at new discoveries and scientific conclusions. Poster preparation followed by poster presentation by students in the subjects of science and law contextualizes theoretical knowledge with realities of situations and scientific results. Power Point Presentation competitions allow them the freedom of researching topics and presenting it on different platforms. For example, the college regularly organises such competitions and supports students participating in similar competitions organised by other institutions where students win prizes. The Department of Botany has in this current year organised an Inter-collegiate Power Point Presentation/Seminars Competitions on the Theme: “Smart and Sustainable City”. This prods the students towards out of the box thinking. Imbibing life skills is a natural process of equipping the students with the ability to participate in social activities with an innate sense of social responsibility and social skills. Students learn team work, interpersonal relationships, leadership in the process of working with the Social Outreach Cell., NSS, NCC, Nature Club, Legal Aid Cell and involvement in similar activities conducted by various departments and other cells as a form of social service and social responsibility. The Entrepreneurship Development Cell instills entrepreneurship skills and UNNATI and SETP are two focused programmes that enhance and develop the overall personality of the students while honing their communication skills.

2.3.7 Detail (Process and no. of students benefitted on the academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance services, Professional Counseling/Mentoring academic advice provided to students. The college is committed to molding the students to suit global competencies and to this end the holistic development of the student is focused upon. The student is supported and guided at each step of his academic journey in the college by providing him advice for academic excellence, professional counseling. Students are also further supported by the Psycho- Social counselling cell by giving personal counseling. Mentoring: The college has a systematic mentoring programme in place, under which each teacher is allotted 8-10 students from the first year itself. The teacher distributes Mentee input forms based on which the teacher is able to gauge the student’s need and areas that are required to be addressed by the teacher as mentor. The teacher-mentor then periodically engages the student personally and provides him with advice which may be academic or personal again depending on what the student needs. In this system, the good, average and weak student needs are tackled and academic advice and encouragement is provided accordingly. At the end of the academic year, student feedback on this process on an informal yet personal basis provides the concrete results of mentoring. This gives an insight to the teacher-mentor for further action and method of mentoring to be adopted in the next session. More than 60-70% students are benefitted by this process of mentoring. Professional Guidance and Counseling given by the Employment and Career Guidance Cell (ECGC): The motto of this cell (ECGC) is to ensure benefit for students from real time application of the value of their academic learning. The students are provided a forum to interact with the industry with bold confidence. To this end, students are trained and prepared by the teachers manning this cell. In every session the ECGC holds counseling sessions related to various aspects of recruitment and employment like preparation for GRE,TOEFL preparation for interviews, employability skills, resume writing etc. The ECGC and the IQAC jointly organized a 3 day workshop “Footsteps to Employability” to provide them a close encounter with the skills leading to better employability in view of on and off campus selection and recruitment drives. 175 students participated in this workshop and the ECGC caters to all students of the college with about 100-150 students benefiting by way of placements and recruitments every year. Career Orientation Programmes by Departments: Every department conducts an orientation programme at the beginning of each academic session and students are made aware of the career opportunities in the subjects chosen by them. This initiative is supplemented by academic advice and career counseling provided by teachers from time to time on a personal basis. Special programmes focused on career guidance are provided by the departments by organizing lectures of experts in the field, Alumni interaction, Industry interaction, subject specific career opportunities lectures by science departments and Department of Law. The college has organized a programme and lectures on “How to prepare for competitive exams like UPSC, MPSC, JAM, GATE” in the current academic year 2016. Psycho-Social Counselling Cell:
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 78 Self Study Report 2015-16
The Psycho-Socio counseling cell starts its interaction with students right at the beginning of the admission process when the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) is conducted to find out student predilection to a subject and then the student can make a choice of his/her academic career. The Psycho-Socio Counselling Cell is manned by teachers from the departments of Psychology and Sociology and further provides counseling throughout the year to students on their personal problems of self or of adjustment to societal mores and norms.
2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/ methods adopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are the efforts made by the institution to encourage the faculty to adopt new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student learning? The traditional method of teaching through lecture method is molded and made innovative by the use of Over Head Projectors in every classroom for which the college provides free transparencies. LCD Projects are fitted in more that 75% of classrooms in the law department and teachers make use of it regularly to make power point presentation. A mini auditorium equipped with audio visual system and LCD is used for special and guest lectures. Interactive method of teaching-learning is adopted especially in Science Departments as they are provided with Smart Boards. Computer provided in each department are instrumental in making use of internet as a source in the teaching process by teachers. Moot Courts and Case Studies conducted by the Law Department are effective practical learning methods imparted to Law students. Other methods of teaching practices are: Demonstration method Project based learning Student seminars Psychometric tools Films and other educational clips Group discussions Panel discussion Field visits, educational & study tours Role play method Teaching based on stories and novels Simultaneous lecturing in Law in which two teachers go into a class and talk about the same topic from different perspectives. Student learning process is made interesting by the application of some methods that are out of the box and keep students focused and allow independent thinking. Most methods encourage interactive learning and some of them provide hands on and practical learning. Student participation and initiatives in conducting programmes is remarkably improved.

2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process? The college library has the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) on which students are able to access journals on N-List, reserve books, locate relevant book on the racks. The library provides a computerized search facility for easy and quick search of books. DELNET, SHODH GANGA, SHODHGANGOTRI and N-List are housed in the internet section of the library wherein students can search for Articles, Journals, Theses, Proposals and databases relevant to their subject. The library hosts a concept called ‘Online Tutorials’ wherein video lectures of IIT Professors through email are made available. Subject related text books are issued to students while reference books, magazines and journals are issued to be read in the Reading Room. The college has the Unique Concept of “Book Bank” whereby poor students are given 4-5 books that they can take home and study throughout the year, free of cost and return at the end of the academic year. The visually challenged and handicapped students are given a special place in the library called the Braille Corner. Text books are added in this corner and 2 Braille Journals are available. ABR (Audio Book Reader) facility is provided in which, at a time 10-12 students can listen. Special microchips of educational material are available along with a Talking Software called JAWS especially for the Blind students. Book Bank facility is also made available to these students. The college has a separate library on “Ambedkar Thought”at the Dr.Ambedkar Research Centre. The core libraries in each department give books, magazines or journals to students in case of lectures being free due to college activities or administrative work.
2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If yes, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these. The Semester pattern of teaching introduced by the University in almost all streams combined with delay in the result declaration by University disturbs the time equilibrium for the teaching-learning process. Transition from annual pattern to semester pattern in the year 2012-13 also disturbed the academic planning. However, the IQAC in consultation with the Principal and the concerned heads of Departments made quick and necessary changes in the academic calendar to smoothen the disequilibrium and the teachers adapted to the new system. These factors combined with administrative work and extracurricular activities disturb the teaching plans. But they were rescheduled and restructured to suit the smooth continuation of the teaching process. Extra classes for the missing periods are taken on Sundays and holidays to complete the course in time. A separate register is maintained with details of extra classes taken, topics covered and students attending with signatures. This register is then countersigned by the Head of Department and the Principal.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 80 Self Study Report 2015-16
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor & evaluate the quality of teaching learning? Quality of teaching-learning is monitored and evaluated in a structured fashion by the Principal, IQAC, teachers themselves, students and parent feedback. A step by step monitoring and evaluation is made by the institution by using the following tools:- Teachers’ Daily Diary: The daily diary maintained by the teachers is a tool to cross checks the teaching plans prepared by the teachers and acts as a self assessment tool for the teacher about course coverage and completion. The Principal also verifies the daily diary periodically while signing it. Academic Audit: The annual academic audit conducted by the IQAC and the Principal monitors, reviews and evaluates the teaching-learning process after which appropriate suggestions are given to bring about changes in teaching methods and approaches. Student Feedback: The student feedback on teaching is an important mechanism to assess teaching and teacher quality. The feedback forms are analyzed by the Statistics Department and conveyed to the Principal who then talks to the concerned teacher with the suggestions and comments in the student feedback. Self Appraisal and one-to-one with Principal: The PBAS review committee alongwith the IQAC coordinator and the Principal review the PBAS forms. The Principal studies the self appraisal forms submitted by the teachers. On the basis of an evaluation of both PBAS and self appraisal, a one-to-one interview and interaction is conducted by the Principal with each teacher and necessary advice and suggestion is given to improve teaching methods and approaches.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external peers? If, yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process. The College has devised a healthy feedback and evaluation of teachers by students and external peers to improve and bring necessary changes in the teaching approaches. At the end of each academic session a Self Appraisal Form is filled by all teachers and submitted to the Principal who holds a one-to-one with the teachers to suggest necessary strategies to improve the teaching-learning process.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 91 Self Study Report 2015-16
The Self appraisal reports are also submitted to an external academic peer of the concerned subject and is then invited to conduct personal interaction on 1:1 with the concerned teachers. The Academic Peer submits a report to the Principal outlining the suggestions to each teacher for improving teaching approaches. Parent-Teacher Meeting is one method where teachers and parents interact to address common concerns in the teaching-learning process. Student feedback on teaching is a valuable first-hand tool that gives the teacher a window to his/her teaching methods. The suggestions given by students are duly considered by teachers to bring about changes in their teaching methods and approaches.

CRITERION VII: INNOVATION AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness
7.1.1 Does the institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities? The institution is cognizant of the growing concerns of environmental protection and sustainability. The college is situated on the sprawling green premises of Deekshabhoomi. The Botany Department of the college has started the process of green audit on the campus and thereby an annual plant audit is conducted both in the college and Deekshabhoomi. This is part of the yearly project of students in which small projects are given to students to conduct a Plant /Tree Audit. A cumulative project report is then generated. In view of its findings, the Department of Botany planted the RET (Rare Endangered & Threatened) Taxa on the premises so as to maintain the biodiversity of plants. Students use this diversity for the study of Taxa. This ambitious and important project is guided by Mr. Somkuvar, Head, Department of Botany as an expert Taxonomist.
7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco friendly?
Hazardous Waste Management: Students of Environmental Science are involved in documentation of Biomedical, Industrial and Domestic Waste of the college through EVS Projects. This is another initiative to fulfill the Green Audit of the college. The students also conduct awareness campaigns for segregating waste in colour coded plastic bins to facilitate a systematic waste disposal. The Bio-degradable waste and tree shedding are all dumped in a compost pit for Vermicomposting maintained by the Botany Department. The hazardous chemical waste generated in the Chemistry practical lab is given primary treatment through Phytorid (Phytoremidiation) technology and the useful waste is let out into plant beds. This minimizes the effluence of pollutants in the environment. The department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology has incorporated an innovative practice of daily waste management to develop a bioreactor for microbial degradation of cellulose in cotton, filter papers and tissue papers. The used cotton plugs from Drosophila cultures, used filter papers and tissue papers are pulverized and used in the medium of cultures of cellulose degrading bacteria. A pilot project has been initiated to test the cellulose degradation potential of cellulose producing bacteria like Cellulomonas. Depending on the results of the project, further scale-up could be planned for ethanol production from the glucose liberated after cellulose degradation in order to generate a value added product from daily laboratory waste.
Plantation : The Botany Department took up the cudgels of creating awareness of green initiative and celebrated Tree Rakshabandhan to secure an emotional attachment of students with trees.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 249 Self Study Report 2015-16
The NCC unit organised Tree Plantation programmes in the college premises to mark “Forest Protection Day”. A Vriksha Dindy (Tree Rally) was also taken out by the NSS Cadets.
E-Waste Management: The E-waste generated over the years by the college was collected and dumped in a common area for the same. The students of BCA came out with the novel idea of creating art-out-of-waste and hence made various useful and artistic materials out of e-waste like CDs. The remaining e-waste was given away to NGOs involved in recycling of e-waste.
Efforts for Carbon Neutrality: The college is responsive to the need of reducing carbon footprints and marching towards the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. Special initiatives are taken by the institution both for creating awareness and for concretizing the efforts towards carbon neutrality. To this end the college celebrates “Ozone Day”, Wetland Day”, “World Forest Day” Meteorological day” and “International Tiger Day”. Tree Plantation programmes in the college campus and at nearby lakes and other areas is conducted. The Nature Club of the college conducts various activities like Debate, Skit, Elocution and Poster Competition at District and National Level on the theme of Nature Conservation, Water Conservation and Tiger Protection. Students prepare natural colours from some flowers like Butea monosperma (Flame of the Forest) and Erythrina sps. etc.for celebrating eco- friendly Holi. Students clean non-degradable waste from nearby forests and Futala Lake in every successive excursion. Nature Club of College cleans Telangkhedi Lake after Ganesh Visarjan and conducts awareness campaign a day prior to Visarjan. Saplings are presented to welcome and honour guests visiting the institution, thereby reducing the use of cellophane and augmenting the habit of tree plantation amongst our guests. The college is in the process of conducting all its internal transactions on the e- portal so as to bring about paperless functioning. Bulk SMS is used to send messages and notices to students.

Best Practices-II:
*LAB TO LAND*
Motto: Taking research from “Lab to Land” to increase agricultural production.
Context: Dr. Ambedkar College is situated on the holy Deekshabhoomi premises that has seen revolutionary stalwarts like Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Shri.Dadasaheb Gaikwad and Shri. R. S. Gavai take up the cudgels for the needy, downtrodden and underprivileged classes of the society. Their success in attaining equal rights of these classes is inherent in the college being responsive to its social responsibility. The rising suicides among farmersin Vidarbha and the need to put greater use of research for boosting agriculture in the nearby rural areas has propelled the Department of Botany to take up the baton for capacity building of farmers.
Mission: “Per drop more Crop”
Goal: To fulfill institutional social responsibility To make poor farmers capable of increasing productivity on available land. To inform the farmers about the technical innovations in the agricultural sector. To imbibe and enable students with rural and farming background with a sense of purpose to achieve more with less land.
The Practice: There is an urgent need to take scientific research to the fields and create awareness among the farmers. The Botany department has started the initiative of taking research and new technologies to the farmers in order to improve the efficacy of the land available with them. In its first step, the Department organised a Farmers’ Meet at the National Conference on “Innovations in Agri-Bio Sciences alongwith the Department of Biotechnology and Biochemistry for 128 farmers from all over Vidarbha. The meet was inaugurated at the hands of Dadaji Khobragade (farmer), inventor of HMT and fragrant rice variety, Sindewahi who informed the gathering of farmers about his inventions. The technical sessions were conducted by prominent personalities like Dr. S. A. Nimbalkar, Ex-Vice Chancellor, Punjabrao Deshmukh Krushi Vidyapeeth Akola, Dr. Trilok Hajare, Principal Scientist, Land Use Planning, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (NBSS & LUP) Nagpur, Dr. P.

the farmers with sophisticated farming equipments, instruments, improved seed varieties and fertilizers. The Department of Botany has started pay-back service to 10 farmers of Mohagaon, Zilpi and Hingna villages via Lab-to-Land project on biofertilizers by supplying them biomass of biofertilizers free of cost to introduce and promote eco-friendly organic way of farming practice for sustainable soil and safe agricultural products. The Botany Department has established field repositories of Regional RET (Rare, Endangered, and Threatened) taxa. A total of 75 accessions of various RET taxa for conservation of PGR in the Germplasm bank, contains 14 fruit crops, 10 Tuber Crops, 05 Bulbous Crops and 46 Medicinal and aromatic plants. A training program on improving agronomical and Ethnobotanical practices for 76 students of Life Sciences having rural and farming background was organised at Shetkari Prashikshan Sabhagruh, RCF Ltd. Nagpur. The training was based on themes including water management, soil analysis, ethno-veterinary practices, agronomical practices for rice, vegetables, medicinal and aromatic plant cultivation. The Department of Chemistry conducts Soil Testing and Irrigation Water Analysis from the lands of poor farmers in nearby villages and informs them about techniques and chemicals to be used for increasing the fertility of the soil. This is a project conducted free of cost by the department alongwith the students as a part of the Lab-to-Land project of the college. One week Workshop on “Soil Health and Its Analysis”, organised by Department of Chemistry.
Evidence of Success:
The Conference in which the Farmers’ Meet was organised saw an overwhelming response from 128 farmers from all over Vidarbha participating and interacting with experts for the full duration of the farmers meet. These farmers have gone back to their respective villages and informed them of the various technical details and advanced equipments. The college has received oral feedback and request for conducting such workshops for other farmers who were unable to attend the meet in the college. The college has accordingly made future plans for conducting at least one annual workshop for farmers on advanced techniques and technologies for their upgradation.
Problems encountered:-
Funding for conducting research as well as the training programmes is not easily accessible. Explaining the technical details to farmers who are generally uneducated requires skill, patience and extra time.

Recommendation: There is a strong need to strengthen infrastructural facility for sports and games, especially Basketball court and Swimming pool. ATR: The Basketball court and Swimming Pool could not be constructed due to the space crunch in the premises.The College has, however entered into a MoU for Basketball with Shivajinagar Gymkhana,Nagpur and Dharampeth Krida Mandal,Shankar Nagar,Nagpur.The College has also entered into a MoU with Nasikrao Tirpude College of Physical Education,Civil Lines and Jyotiba College of Physical Education,Nagpur.Both MoUs are based on mutual sharing of infrastructural facilities. Recommendation: There is a strong need for staff quarters for both teaching and non- teaching. ATR: Nagpur is a compact city and commuting is not a time consuming task and hence the need for staff quarters is not felt by the employees. The college has nevertheless provided accommodation to few non-teaching members who handle day-to-day tasks of the college. Recommendation: Hostels need to be established for both the genders. ATR: The College faces space crunch but hostels for both boys and girls are situated very near the college premises. Recommendation: Health center needs to be strengthened. ATR: The College is running a Diploma Course on Health Care Assistance (Geriatrics) under the Community College scheme for which a fully equipped medical room is established containing all first aid as well as supporting instruments and facilities. The College also has tie-ups with four hospitals that are located very close by and Doctors are available on call at all hours. Recommendation: There is a need to establish more research units supported/promoted by the UGC and other agencies. ATR: The College has received recognition as a center for higher learning and research in 3 subjects, Bio-chemistry, Chemistry and Physics. The college has started Dr. Ambedkar Studies and Research center for carrying out research on Ambedkar Thought .Most of the Science departments are also involved in collaborative research work with research centers across the country. Recommendation: Publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals and publications needs accreditation. ATR: The Number of research publication has increased and the research publications of most faculties are in journals with ISBN/ISSN numbers. Most of the science faculty members have citations and high impact factors. Recommendation: Pre-audit financial system needs to be established. ATR: The College has a strong pre-audit financial system whereby an internal audit is first conducted through a private auditing firm after which the audit is done by the Joint Director of Education’s office and Accountant General’s Office. Recommendation: Teachers appointed by the management on ad-hoc contractual/contributory basis have to be adequately paid. ATR: The contractual/contributory teachers are adequately paid with increase after every 2-3 years. The college has appointed 29 Assistant Professors on no-grant basis on the recommendation of the university as per Govt. Norms.

Strengths Efficient & dedicated teaching staff faculty. Faculty, resourceful and active, in the research work. Faculty, committed to holistic development of the students. Co-curricular activities (certificate courses, competitions, industrial visits etc) for the students Competent faculty, with consistent record of research paper publications and conference presentations P G Programme with research centre
Weakness A very high ratio of students, to the deficient staff faculty. Insufficient space for the faculty and students. Most of the students enrolling in PG course lack English skills, which results to their poor academic achievements. Semester pattern is a short time bound program, and challenges with the course completion and allied activities. Less number of industries in the region leads to fewer job opportunities
Opportunities Collaboration with industries and institutes for research projects. Enhancing student participation in interdisciplinary research activities. Avenues for industrial exposures to the students, through internship programmes.
Dr. Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur. Page 302 Self Study Report 2015-16
Challenges To attract more potential chemical science students. To prepare and educate students with skill sets, to compete at global level. To have job placement opportunities in different technical fields of chemistry. To administer undergraduates in research work, due to less teaching staff members. To bring uniformity between average and below average achievers. To initiate more job productive and industry oriented short term programmes /workshops
Future plans To design skill set based programmes for students to develop their English skills & job skills. To tie-up with research institutions for internship programs. To develop, in- service training programs for non teaching staff, by sending them to attend various workshops on instrument maintenance and lab safety. To involve undergraduates in research activities. To promote various research based activities in the department. To enhance employment generating skills in the students, by increasing their participation in regional industry oriented programmes. Start joint ventures with research institutes for projects.

5 years Report of Employment & Career Guidance Cell The Employment and Career Guidance Cell (ECGC) has been established with a motto to benefit students from real time application value of their academics. Towards achieving this every year ECGC makes all possible efforts to give students opportunity to prove themselves encounter with the industry more confidently and boldly. Students from various faculties are regularly given this benefit of taking upon- and off-campus events of recruitment, training and counselling as and when they come up in the academic sessions In extending these services to students on time to time basis we mediate through notices put on notice boards of different buildings and the ECGC room, with enriched usage of technology, we have also made use of emails, sms and the Whatsapp group broadcasts to notify the students about the campus drives, pool campus drives of other venues, job fairs and the counselling sessions. We have student groups on these technological platforms for circulating the message extensively and quickly. The training programs are also conducted by the cell now and then for the students benefit. The training programs were primarily focussed for the passed out and final year students to be imbibed as entry level programes in the Big IT companies who are about to open their centres shortly in and around Nagpur.
Intermittently, counselling sessions are also conducted on regular basis depending upon the individual students or sometimes the whole class approaching the cell in job and career relation issues. Individual students come up in expectation guidance for the bank PO exams, civil services, state and central as well and other science and commerce related career options. We the coordinators depending on our respective teaching schedules, take out extra time to counsel them in these aspects and issues also.
