Among the colleges of Pune, our College continues to be rated in the top bracket. Obviously, we are the recipient of “The Best College Award-2008” bestowed by the University of Pune on its Foundation Day. Further, ‘India Today’, a leading national fortnightly, has endorsed the recognition by including the college in the list of “Best Colleges in India”, consecutively for 2 years. ‘Modern’ and ‘Progressive’ are our hallmark words and we have always been ‘modern’ and ‘progressive’ in all our endeavors. The University of Pune has awarded the “Best Teacher Award” to two of our teachers. In addition, three non-teaching staff members received “Best Non-Teaching Employee Award”, from University of Pune during the last 5 years. Also, one of the staff received Silver Medal at “State Level Avishkar 2007” research project competition. Similar award was won by two students in 2008 who received Second Prize. After the visit of Peer Team of NAAC in January 2010 and in compliance with the suggestions made by the Peer Team, the college very successfully tackled the various challenges and responsibilities at every step in its growth. This has been aptly reflected in the IQAC reports sent every year by the college. The last six years have been challenging, significant and innovative. The staff members have remained committed, dedicated and voluminous work has been done. It is a joy for everyone to see the qualitative and quantitative growth which echoes the Vision and Mission of the Institution. We look back with pride and satisfaction on the achievements as we move on. We scaled new heights due to sustained efforts. Our Management has been making valuable contribution and is always helpful to the college in every respect. Each member of the “Modern” family endeavors to contribute immensely for the growth and sustenance of education in Pune, Maharashtra and India at large. Dr. R. S.

Throughout Wisconsin sampling sites were selected based on habitat type and sampling history. Wisconsin endomychids were hand collected from fungi and under tree bark; successful trapping methods included cantharidin- baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps, and Lindgren funnel traps. Examina- tion of literature records, museum and private collections, and field research yielded 10 species, three of which are new state records. Two dubious records, Epipocus unicolor Horn and Stenotarsus hispidus (Herbst), could not be con- firmed.

Such symbioses have important applied implications when the associated insects are pests or vectors of disease. The squash bug, Anasa tristis (Coreoidea: Coreidae), is a significant pest of human agriculture in its own right and also causes damage to crops due to its capacity to transmit a bacterial plant pathogen.
