Padgaonkar Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Dodamarg 4 SELF STUDY REPORT PREFACE Navnirman Shikshan Sanstha was established in 1998 at Ratnagiri with a noble cause of imparting higher education among the youth of Konkan region and with a strong belief of serving the society and improving the quality of life of the rural youth in particular. Founder members had a great awareness for education which led them to establish College of Arts, Commerce and Science (Computer), later renamed as Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science, at Dodamarg on 6th August 2001. Dodamarg was separated from Sawantwadi tehsil in June 1999 and became the youngest tehsil of Sindhudurg district. Having 56 small villages in its jurisdiction, it locates in the lap of the Sahyadri Mountain range and comes exactly on the borders of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka states. Since the establishment, the college has been continuously providing higher education to the youth of Dodamarg tehsil as well as nearby villages of Goa State. Formerly, students had to travel more than 50 kms to reach Sawantwadi and Banda for degree education but this institution has lessened their sufferings and brought higher education at their doorstep. The college is relentlessly striving in pursuance of academic excellence and encouraging learners to participate spontaneously in various co-curricular and extracurricular activities. This conductive ambience fosters creativity, intensity, fortitude, and leadership qualities among learners for the development of versatile personality. I joined this institution on 6th May 2014 and accelerated the development of the college. We are persistently trying to kindle young minds with sublime ideas, accountability, virtuousness, curiosity, and social as well as ethical values. With application of knowledge and inculcation of values, the students are empowered with the skill of converting challenges into opportunities. The college has well qualified and research oriented teaching staff as well as supportive and efficient non-teaching staff which constantly endeavor for the betterment of the students and ultimately of the institution. Besides academic education, the college finds its responsibility towards community, women’s empowerment, socio-economically backward class, environment consciousness, national harmony etc. and constantly addresses them through several co-curricular and extracurricular activities. This Self Study Report (SSR) is a mirror of all activities at all levels undertaken by the institution. It is a collaborative venture and incorporates hard efforts of the staff, and support of the management. I am indeed very happy to submit this SSR to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, Bangalore for assessment and accreditation of the institution. We all look forward to welcome NAAC peer team at our college. Dr. V. A. Patil Principal Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Dodamarg 5 SELF STUDY REPORT PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Navnirman Shikshan Sanstha’s Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science has been incessantly providing higher education to the youth of Dodamarg tehsil and adjacent villages of Goa state since the establishment. In the initial stage, the college faced many hurdles and adversities due to hilly region and ignorance of students towards higher education, but with a strong determination, it overcame all the hardships and continued its journey. The institution has received permanent affiliation of the University of Mumbai and provides undergraduate degrees in Arts and Commerce disciplines. The teaching staff is dedicated to its profession and recognizably engaged in research oriented activities. We have a great concern for girls’ education and empowerment, therefore through WDC, various innovative programmes are organized in this respect. Alongside higher education, the institution focuses on community involvement and environment conservation. It aims to include its name under UGC’s Act 2 (f) and 12 (B) in near future. This SSR is an outcome of combined efforts of teaching, administrative and supportive staff under my guidance. It has been an enriching experience of working together and identifying our strength and weaknesses. This Self Study Report mirrors the activities undertaken by the institution towards enrichment of quality education for students. I am very much grateful to the management, students, alumni and all stakeholders who have believed in us and supported us to undergo the NAAC assessment and accreditation. We all are looking forward the NAAC Peer Team visit to our institution. Dr. V. A. Patil Principal Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Dodamarg 6 SELF STUDY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The institution was established by Navnirman Shikshan Sanstha, Ratnagiri on 6th Aug. 2001. It strives to cultivate minds and build characters of the young generations by imbibing in them scientific temperament, organizational abilities and human values. It is the only institution in Dodamarg tehsil to provide degree education in Arts and Commerce disciplines. The objectives of the institution are inclusive of all aspects along with academic education like women empowerment, national harmony, social responsibility, environment consciousness, community service etc. Though the college locates in hilly region, it constantly attempts to keep students abreast with the global scenario. CRITERION- I : CURRICULAR ASPECTS The institution provides degree education in Arts and Commerce programmes. As it is an affiliated institution, it offers curriculum to the students designed by the University of Mumbai. The faculty members contribute in the process of curriculum formation through suggestions to the Board of Studies in the meetings and workshops conducted for syllabus upgradation, revision, and designing. The curriculum is supplemented with some short term certificate courses that are in tune with the market needs, designed by the institution. The institution believes in versatile development of students thus, it gives equal importance to co-curricular and extracurricular activities. During the lectures, teachers glimpse upon emerging trends, career opportunities, cross cutting issues etc. that enriches the syllabus. Students’ feedback regarding teachers, administrative staff, and infrastructural facilities is annually obtained which plays an important role in policy making for enhancement of quality education. CRITERION II: TEACHING-LEARNING AND EVALUATION The institution gives wide publicity to admission process through prospectus, banners, institutional website and interaction with people. The high transparency is maintained in the admission process adhering to the rules of the affiliating university and Government of Maharashtra. The number of enrolled students is normally found less than the intake capacity therefore, the college does not conduct any entrance test or interview and display merit list. The institution aims to bring girls as well as socially Laxmibai Sitaram Halbe College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Dodamarg 7 SELF STUDY REPORT and economically backward class students in the mainstream of education, therefore teachers reach their doorstep and counsel them for higher education. Teachers pay their special attention to slow learners and conduct additional lectures for them. IQAC-cum-Steering Committee regularly

    Remembering Goa Liberation movement What is Goa liberation movement? \n\n \n The Portuguese colonised India in 1510, conquering many parts of the western coast and establishing several colonies in the east. \n By the end of the 19th century, Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli which were collectively known as Estado da India. \n After Indian independence the Britain and Francewhich colonised India started to decolonise and agreed to move back to their respective nations, but Portugal refused to leave its territories. \n To end the Portuguese rule a movement was started which was built on the small scale revolts and uprisings and later grew powerful, the moment happened during 1940-1961. \n The movement was conducted both inside and outside Goa, and was characterised by a range of tactics including nonviolent demonstrations, revolutionary methods and diplomatic efforts. \n \n\n Why Portuguese was reluctant to move? \n\n \n Portugal emphasised that it had been around 450 years in Goa and found Arabian coasts as economic gateways for its global trade. \n It also concerned about Goan Catholics who would not be safe if it left. \n The nation conveniently overlooked the fact over 60% of Goans were Hindus, and many Goan Christians, had a place of honour in Indian public life. \n \n\n How India annexed Goa? \n\n \n In 1961 an armed action code named Operation Vijay by the Indian Armed Forces was carried out to remove Portuguese administration from Goa. \n The operation involved air, sea and land strikes for over 36 hours, and was a decisive victory for the Republic of India, ending 451 years of rule of Portugal over its remaining exclaves in India.

  • Justifying Occupation?
    Justifying Occupation? A strategic frame-analysis of the way India & Israel have rhetorically justified their military annexations (1961-1981) Abstract: Besides using military power to attain new territories, framing plays an important part in holding onto them, as it enables the occupier to ‘sell’ the idea of a new post- conflict reality. Using postcolonialism as background theory, this thesis researches what historical frames were used, and what the effect of these frames were on (1) the domestic audience of the occupying country, (2) the audience of the occupied territories, and (3) the international community. It looks at the annexation of Goa (1961) and the Golan Heights (1981) as similar design case studies, where the former was accepted by more audiences. Frames that refer to national identity and safeguarding the existential safety of the occupying country, proved to be most successful across the audiences to gather support, or avoid serious sanctions from the international community, during 1961-1981. Abdul Abdelaziz S 4211766 Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Master thesis International Relations Supervisor: prof. dr. Bertjan Verbeek 0 Date: June 28, 2020 Wordcount (excl. sources): 27661 “Occupation, curfew, settlements, closed military zone, administrative detention, siege, preventive strike, terrorist infrastructure, transfer. Their WAR destroys language. Speaks genocide with the words of a quiet technician. Occupation means that you cannot trust the OPEN SKY, or any open street near to the gates of a sniper’s tower. It means that you cannot trust the future or have faith that the past will always be there. Occupation means you live out your live under military rule, and the constant threat of death, a quick death from a sniper’s bullet or a rocket attack from an M16.

It will play a significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively .The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during disaster. Based on the history of various disasters that occur in the district ,the plan has been so designed as an action plan rather than a resource book .Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather than bulky one. This plan has been prepared which is based on the guidelines provided by the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM)While preparing this plan ,most of the issues ,relevant to crisis management ,have been carefully dealt with. During the time of disaster there will be a delay before outside help arrives. At first, self help is essential and depends on a prepared community which is alert and informed .Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable and effective to handle any type of disaster. The DDMP developed involves some significant issues like Incident Command System (ICS), India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN)website, the service of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in disaster management .In fact ,the response mechanism ,an important part of the plan is designed with the ICS, a best model of crisis management has been included in the response part for the first time. It has been the most significant tool to the response manager to deal with the crisis within the limited period and to make optimum use of the available resources.

    1 Isotopic composition of nitrate and particulate organic matter in a 2 pristine dam-reservoir of western India: Implications for 3 biogeochemical processes 4 Pratirupa Bardhan, S.W.A. Naqvi, Supriya G. Karapurkar, Damodar M. Shenoy, Siby Kurian, 5 Hema Naik. 6 CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa:403004, India. 7 Correspondence to: P.Bardhan ([email protected]) 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 1 25 Abstract: 26 27 Isotopic composition of nitrate (δ15N and δ18O) and particulate organic matter (POM) (δ15N 28 and δ13C) were measured in Tillari Reservoir, located at the foothills of the Western Ghats, 29 Maharashtra, western India. The reservoir that is stratified during spring-summer and autumn 30 seasons but gets vertically mixed during the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) and winter is 31 characterized by diverse redox nitrogen transformations in space and time. The δ15N and δ18O 32 values of nitrate were low (δ15N = 2-10‰, δ18O = 5-8‰) during normoxic conditions but 33 increased gradually (highest δ15N=27‰, δ18O=29‰) when anoxic conditions facilitated 34 denitrification in the hypolimnion during spring-early summer. Once nitrate was fully utilized + 15 35 and sulphidic conditions set in, NH4 became the dominant inorganic N species, with δ N 36 ranging from 1.3 to 2.6‰. Low δ15N (~−5‰) and δ13C (−37‰ to −32‰) of POM co- + 37 occurring with high NH4 and CH4 in sulphidic bottom waters were probably the 38 consequence of microbial chemosynthesis. Assimilation of nitrate in the epilimnion was the 39 major controlling process on the N-isotopic composition of POM (δ15N = 2 - 6 ‰).
