From Chairman’s desk… Progressive Education Society’s Modem College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune-5 was established in the year 1970, as the first senior college of P.E.Society. This institution was ‘a-dream-come-true’ of the two visionary educationists; founders of P.E.Society- late Shankarraoji Kanitkar and late V.T. Tatake. With the various achievements and awards, reflecting grand success of this institution, I feel that this college has reached a brilliant destination today, and it will keep on achieving milestones in future. Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, has already been honoured with ‘Best college Award’ by University of Pune, Grade ‘A’ by NAAC and ‘CPE’ Status by UGC. The college has organised various academic, co-curricular and extracurricular activities during this academic year 2012-13. Organisation of various workshops, State level, National level conferences and International conference in languages, establishment of digital record room, digital library and virtual laboratory have been some of the note-worthy achievements during this academic year. Here, I am proud to mention that the college has been awarded with ‘Star College’ status by Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India in March 2013. This is certainly a feather in the cap of “Team Modern”. I give full credit for all these commendable achievements to the leader of “Team Modern” Dr. Rajendra Zunjarrao and local managing committee of this college which consists of senior educationists like Prof. P. S. Chirputkar, Prof. Dr. A. K. Pande and Prof. Mrs. J. G. Ekbote. The Vice-Principals Prof. S. S. Deshmukh, Dr. Y. R. Waghmare, Dr. Mrs. N. J. Kulkarni, Prof. S. R. Chaudhari, Prof. Milind Waghmare and Prof. M. M. Rane have been assisting with positive attitude. I am happy to mention that all the staff members (Teaching and Non-teaching) are responsible for the success and a number of achievements of the college. Modern College is an “ASSET” to Progressive Education Society as well as University of Pune. I wish the college and its staff my very best wishes to strengthen this “ASSET” further. I express my best wishes to the Principal, All LMC members, the staff members and students of this “Star College”. With personal regards, Prof. Dr. Gajanan Ekbote M.S., M.N.A.M.S., Chairman, Business Council, P. E. Society, Shivajinagar, Pune-5. Annual Report 2012-2013 iii From Principal’s desk… I am glad to share with you all, my feelings at the completion of another successful academic year. In the year 2009-10 our college was re-accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ grade. In the year 2011-12 we were conferred the status of ‘College with Potential for Excellence’ (CPE) by UGC. It gives me great pleasure to inform you all, that this year our Modern College of Arts Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune-5, has been awarded the ‘STAR COLLEGE’ Status by Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India. We are one of those few privileged institutes who have gained this special status. The cover story gives details of the journey towards success of getting this award. Undoubtedly, this is a matter of pride and honour for us. Our entire team of teaching and non-teaching staff and students need to be congratulated for their efforts leading to this success. However, we need to remember that this also adds more responsibilities on us. We need to prove that we do deserve this special status. In this academic year 2012-13, we could take few more successful steps towards use of ICT in teaching, learning and administration. Some of these are issuing of identity cards to students on the same day of admission, bulk SMS service for urgent correspondence with students, on-line attendance system, digital record room, digital library and virtual laboratory. The college has maintained the tradition of successful organisation of International conference, National conference and State level conferences, in addition to several workshops and lecture series for the quality enhance of teaching and research. I wish to congratulate all concerned staff members and students for making these events successful. Members of the teaching staff have been striving hard to reach higher academic standards without compromising with their teaching assignments and routine college activities. They take extra pains to foster to the all round development of students. The unique feature of this academic year was activities and achievements of students in Sports, NSS, NCC, Cultural activities, Academics and Research. To name a few: YUVA (Youth Unite for Voluntary Action) Meet 2013, held at new Delhi, Ignited Innovators of India, BHAU Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership (BIEL) competition organised at COEP where our students bagged first prizes in two categories out of 200 entries, achievement of Biotechnology students at IIT Mumbai, Robotics competition at National level organised by MIT Pune, etc. This has helped the college to scale higher positions in academic as well as co curricular and extra-curricular flelds. I would like to thank authorities of Progressive Education Society, particularly Hon’ble Prof. Dr. G. R. Ekbote, Chairman, Business Council, P.E. Society for the valuable guidance and encouragement given by them. We are
