Shri.Shashikant Swami Professional Assistant for IQAC (Documentation) Re-accreditation Report, Dec.2013 Page 8 of 233 Dayanand College of Commerce, Latur (MS, India) Principal‟s Message It gives me a great pleasure to present the self- study report to NAAC for re-accreditation. This is an honest submission of the facts and figures related to the performance of our college. In the last 9 years i.e. after 1st accreditation, the college has undertaken various measures to enhance the quality, and has implemented all the suggestions given by the peer team. I am pleased to state that the college is well-aware about its strengths and weaknesses, which is an alarming message for further journey. All strengths are the cumulative effect of our efforts in the past and weaknesses will be surely nullified through our further policies and practices. I can visualize further bright performance on the basis of our able human resource and the strong support and motivation by the parent institution. Everything can be achieved by the human resource with great loyalty and commitment, which exists in the institution. Our great forefathers of the institution have left a great legacy, which will get all the great things performed by us. The divine element inbuilt within our human resource is missionary spirit of contributing to this holy field of education, which is really the man-making process; this divine element within the cohesive human resource is our real asset and the strength. I am grateful to the management of Dayanand Education Society for the strong support and great inspiration, I am also thankful to our vice-principal, NAAC co-ordinator and all enthusiastic staff members for their co-operation from the bottom of hearts. Dr. Atmaram Palnitkar Re-accreditation Report, Dec.2013 Page 9 of 233 Dayanand College of Commerce, Latur (MS, India) Executive Summary At the time of liberation of Hyderabad from the clutches of the Nizam in 1948, the five districts of the region had minimum facilities of education up to just the matriculation level. For the higher education, the students had to go to the big cities like Pune, Mumbai or Hydrabad. The common students of the region could hardly afford this. After the independence, the most urgently felt need was to facilitate the people with good and affordable education to make them the educated and able citizens of India. Taking into account the poor facilities of education in Marathwada region, the philanthropist, reputed merchant community of Latur, who also catered for education decided to establish higher education society at Latur, following the role model of DAV Education Society, Solapur. Late Shri. Manikrao Sonwane, Late Shri. Narayanlalji Lahoti, Late Shri. Madanlalji Biyani, Late Shri. Ramgopalji Rathi, Late Shri. Pandurangji Vhora, Late Shri. Bhalchandraji Save, Late Shri. Kalyanbhai Shah, Shri. Satyanaraynji Karwa, Advocate Ramkishanji Malu and their colleagues came together and established Dayanand Education Society‘ and commenced Dayanand College in 1961 with Arts, Commerce and Science disciplines. In 1967, Science College got separated, while in 1971 Arts and Commerce became independent colleges. In 1961, the then Governor of Maharashtra Shri. Shriprakash set the founding stone of the building of Dayanand Education Society and today it has branched itself into almost a mini University. The society‘s 22.5 acres of spacious campus incorporates independent spacious buildings of six colleges, Laboratories, boys‘ and womens‘ hostels and library building. A specious canteen, a ground auditorium, society office, many well equipped play grounds, indoor stadium and lush greenery add to the educational environment of the campus. The parents crave to enroll the future of their children in the campus. The staff feels immensely honoured in serving this society. Initially Dayanand College of Commerce was affiliated to Marathwada University, Aurangabad up to 1995 and then to Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Nanded. The college is permanently affiliated and is recognized under 2 (f) and 12 (b) of the UGC Act. The college started with the objective of offering good educational facilities at affordable costs to the common students. Today also Dayanand college of Commerce is serving the under privileged and vulnerable section of the society. There are more than 75% of the enrolled students in the college from socially and economically backward sections, minority and rural areas. The management has a vision to develop the college in a specific way. The learning resources, the infrastructure, technology, faculty, academic programmes etc, all aspects of education are taken care of, to achieve the desired objectives. The college offers 16 academic programmes, comprising of 07 at graduation level, 2 at post graduation level, 2 Ph.D. programmes and 5 carrier oriented and professional courses.
