  • Best Practices 2017-18
    SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE University of Delhi Annexure III Best Practices Best Practice I Title Promoting Innovation in Teaching-Learning Goal As extolled in its mission statement, the College aims, "...to achieve and sustain excellence in teaching...". With a vision of becoming an institution of global choice, it is imperative that the teaching-learning process in the College be aligned to the best global practices in the academia. As such, the goals of the practice are to: 1. Institutionalise goal driven teaching learning processes that aim at creation of knowledgeable, employable and socially responsible citizens. 2. Develop well-defined paradigms for teaching-learning processes. 3. Include a comprehensive range of teaching methodologies to make teaching practices more innovative in approach, inclusive to the diverse set of students and integrated to theory and practice. 4. Augment the teaching-learning process with information technology. 5. Provide institutional support to promote innovative teaching-learning mechanisms. Context At its core, an academic institution is defined by its teaching learning process and the associated outcomes. An enlightened institution understands that its primary task is creation of academically oriented socially responsible citizens. Doing so requires developing multifaceted and multidimensional teaching-learning paradigms, integrated to the needs of the evolving environment, as an institutional value. The sublimation of such pedagogical excellence requires insightful introspection, goal-oriented planning, synergetic teamwork and methodical implementation of ideas, keeping in view the boundaries imposed by the external environment and human resources. The burgeoning demands of the job market with expansive business frontiers coupled with the intensity in competition impose a natural condition on the pedagogical process to evolve from a rote learning system to a more cognition driven holistic framework that caters to greater ideals.

  • Police Chief Stresses on 'Democratic Behaviour'
    n 002 Police chief stresses on ‘democratic behaviour’ NEW DELHI: In a democracy, people should respect the boundaries of law and they should not go beyond the norms of democratic behaviour, newly-appointed Delhi Police Commissioner Bhim Sain Bassi said on Saturday. "People will get the opportunity to articulate their anger. But remember, we are a democratic polity. In a dem-ocratic polity, we have to respect the boundaries created by law otherwise any expression of anger can be too anarchic," said Bassi at a youth conference held at SRCC in Delhi University. Bassi said the moment people cross the norms of democratic behaviour, the results will be "disastrous". The day-long youth conference had debates and discussions where Bhim Sain Bassi, an alumnus of SRCC's 1975 batch, was felicitated at the Conference for the laurels he has achieved during his career. " My journey in SRCC was sweet and eventful. I still remember my teachers. Whatever I learnt from them, has helped me in my life," he said adding that he never took interest to participate in debates during his time in college. " I must tell all of you that everybody who gets admission in Shri Ram College has some basic intellect and basic requisite qualification which can take you anywhere, " he said. Kiran Bedi, Sonia Singh, Prabhu Chawla and several other eminent personalities were present. The Times of India Agencies | Aug 18, 2013, 04.08 AM IST BTW , Kiran , Prabhu and Sonia are all DU alumni, while Prabhu began his career as Lecturer with us …!
