PREFACE
It is with great and immense pleasure that I present the Self-Study Report (SSR) of our College to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore for accreditation. The G. M. Vedak College of Science under the patronage of Shri. Gopinath Mahadev Vedak Pratishthan has been established in the year 2009 at Tala in Raigad District of Maharashtra, with a motto of “विद्याधन सिवधन प्रधानम”,् for the tribal and hilly area of Tala Tahsil. The college is catering to the need of rural students since its inception. Our students belong to rural & hilly area, and from the peasants and fishermen community. Most of the students are first generation in their families who avail facility of higher education in science. The college ensures equal opportunity to all by implementing the Reservation Policy of the Government and makes available the scholarships for backward class students. Financial assistance in the form of scholarship/freeship, instalment facility and books are provided to the needy students. The college runs the under graduate courses in science as per University of Mumbai. These courses meet the demands of the students and prepare them in nation building and to meet global competencies. We have been trying sincerely to improve our innate qualities, adopting innovative ideas, acquiring new skills, implementing new techniques and better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. We keep on searching, renewing, expanding and attempting to always acclimatize to the changing situations. We hope to conceive and start with new initiations by first cycle of accreditation from NAAC so as to take this College to its next level. The preparation of SSR involved a new team and they have taken their best efforts to prepare this SSR. The SSR has been shared with management, teachers and stakeholders at every stage of its preparation and finalization. The NAAC co-ordinator along with steering committee members has worked hard and taken lot of efforts to prepare this Self-Study Report. I appreciate the co-operation put in by the management and other members of the staff for this collaborative and collective venture with an open heart. I hope this report will find criteria-wise worthy and believed to justify our sincere endeavour. We look forward to welcome to NAAC peer team. I/C-Principal Dr. N. A. Degwekar

In this context our College has initiated the scheme "Firti Prayogshala" a mobile laboratory. Through this scheme the school students gain knowledge about the basic scientific experiments and their use in day to day life.
4. The Practice: Each month a team from each department of our college make a visit to school in rural area and demonstrate basic scientific experiments to the school students. Our college teachers also show them some science related videos, power point presentations etc.
5. Evidence of Success: The visited school students are now more curious about science. The attachment of college with society is increased.
6. Problems Encountered: As per situation we used transport facility to visit nearby schools.

Best Practice B 1. Title of the practice: AADHAR Fund for economically weaker students.
2. Goal: Our mission statement is “VIDYADHANAM SARVADHANAM PRADHANAM” knowledge is the utmost wealth. Tala taluka is mostly hilly area and people are still backward with very less opportunities for higher education. With this geographical and socio-economic status of our taluka the college aims towards providing higher education to the poorest of the poor students.
3. The context: Our college is situated far away from Mumbai in hilly and backward area. The students of this college are from poor families. The main business of this people is agriculture. In our college the 90% of the students resides in small houses and they come from lower income group as per living standards of Mumbai.
4. The Practice: Keeping in this mind our college has worked toward generating a fund which helps to give equal access to higher education to all. In addition to various scholarships available to students the college also allows the students to pay fees in easy instalments. Our college has decided to start a scheme called "AADHAR FOR POOR" from academic year of 2016-17. In this scheme the students which are in need are assessed by the members of this committee. Financial assistance provided to the poor and brighter students for the payment of their admission fees, medical assistance and any other help assessed and approved by the committee. Such type of practice will help them to indulge in higher education.
5. Evidence of Success: Students do not face financial hurdles any more to get higher education
6. Problems Encountered Numbers of donors for this fund are quite less at this stage.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plans Strength Result of Zoology department is good throughout the year. The department run solely T.Y. B. Sc. Zoology. Our department frequently organizes excursions to various places.
Weakness Lack of advanced equipments such as Laminar Air Flow and laboratory infrastructure. Insufficient lab-space. Comparatively less student’s strength. Lack of job opportunities in subject from surrounding areas.
Opportunities As our college is situated near coastal area, there is a lot of scope for research in Oceanography. As most of our students are from fishermen community, there is scope for self- employment generation through marine fisheries.
G. M. Vedak College of Science, Tala-Raigad Page 155 of 201
SELF STUDY REPORT
Challenges Awareness about job opportunities. Create more interest among student about subject. To promote students in research field.
Future Plans To start masters course. Collaboration with various research institutes. To initiate training programme in Sericulture, Vermicomposting, Fishery and Apiculture. To organize science exhibition, science popularization lectures. Research facility in campus. Collaboration with forest department. Collaboration with fishery development office, fish training centre and fishery co-operative society.
