WEAKNESSES

 The college does not have its own transportation facility to ferry students from remote villages. This facility is particularly required during early morning hours when students find it difficult to reach college in time to attend first lecture of the day.  The sports Infrastructure in the college has to be modernised.  Infrastructure for full-fledged research centre needs to be improved.  Green environment in the campus needs to be improved.  Inability of the students to communicate effectively in English by the graduates.  Limited facility for skill-enhancement of students in the college.

OPPORTUNITIES

 To start new post graduate courses in fast growing areas like retail and logistics management, E-retail, financial services etc.  To satisfy the manpower demands of local tourism industry by providing skilled manpower in various tourism related jobs like transport, hospitality, foreign exchange management, catering etc. Certificate courses of short duration can be started in these areas.  To start of M.Phil course by expanding the existing research center.  To start training classes for Integrated PCC and final of CA course and Inter and Final stages of ICMA course.  To start of short term courses in value education to ensure that graduates passing through the college live a moral life and become contributing members in the society.  To start finishing school for the students to ensure quick employability of graduates passing from the college. Also to ensure their higher EQ leading to better adjustment with family and society.  To start training courses for self help groups of women and rural artisans in the locality for better and professional management of their business.

CHALLENGES

 There is closure of mining industry in our locality in the recent years as per orders of honorable Supreme Court of India. This has caused huge unemployment leading to economic hardships to a large section of population in Bicholim and surrounding villages. The student intake may be adversely impacted in the coming years as there is migration of labour due to unemployment. Similarly the local population also finds it difficult to educate their children in colleges due to financial reasons.  The college has in its vicinity two other government colleges in the radius of 7 km which offer commerce related graduate courses. These Government colleges are planning to start additional aided courses like BBA, BCA and M. Com, etc. These courses are in direct competition with the existing self financing course of our college.  The neighbouring Government colleges have been sanctioned huge budgets of exceeding Rs. 50 Crore each by Government of Goa for infrastructure development purpose. As a result, both this colleges today have state of art infrastructure in terms academic facilities, sports and cultural facilities etc.  The students who pass out from the college have been finding it difficult to get better remunerative employment as there is no significant growth of industries in our locality. Similarly the closure of mining industry has also augmented the employment related problems due to retrenchment of workers.  FDI in higher education is going to pose a challenge to State funded educational system.

Increase in the B.Com intake and high demand ratio

The intake of B.Com has increased consistently from 75 students in the year 1994- 95 to 503 students in the year 2014-15. This was due to our efforts in maintaining continuous rapport with the neighbouring Higher Secondary Schools throughout the past years. We used to conduct career guidance programs, inter-higher secondary competitions (cultural and sports), workshops and seminars for the higher secondary teachers,etc. to ensure our commitment towards backward

63 linkages. The third year B.Com results of our college has been 94% on an average during the past years which is far better than most of the other colleges in Goa.

Moreover, the demand ratio is very high while considering the fact that Goa has zero population growth rate and the supply of students is less than the demand in the colleges. The intake of students in the neighbouring colleges has also gone down heavily during the past years.

We have started M.Com only 3 years back and this is the third year of M.Com program and only one batch has gone out. As in the case of any other self- financing course, the students intake was low in the first year, but it has progressively increased during the past two years and in the year 2014-15, our intake of 40 students were completely filled. This is also due to the quality of teaching -learning environment that we have created in our college.

There has been increased demand for the Ph.D admission. We have only one Ph.D guide in our Research Centre and he has at present 08 Ph.D students under him doing research, which is the maximum limit permitted by the UGC for a recognized guide to supervise at a time. In general, there has been very high demand for our all programs.

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently–abled students and ensure adherence to Government policies in this regard?

 The institution provides sufficient facilities for differently abled students and it adheres to the government policies in this regard.  The college has provided ramps and handrails at the ground floor and first floor, in order to facilitate the differently abled students to move without hazard.  The college provides the differently abled students with the facility of classrooms on the ground floor of the college to enable easy access.  The admission process for the differently abled is as per the rules of Government of Goa and Goa University. It is similar to other students, even though the number of differently-abled students is small; there is no differentiation towards them  For students with walking disabilities, the facilities of pavements are provided.  We have a negligible amount of students that are differently abled (physically handicapped). So far, we did not have any students who are blind, deaf, dumb or mentally retarded challenged.

 Physically handicapped students are also assisted by fellow students and also by the non teaching staff of the college to move within the premises of the college.

2.2 CATERING TO STUDENT DIVERSITY

2.2.2. Does the institution assess the student‟s needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If „yes‟, give details on the process.

XII, from different streams are generally in a position to cope up with the subjects, as they select the subject after receiving counseling from the Admission Committee.  Admission Committee counsels the students, in the first two weeks from the commencement of the academic year. The teachers make it a point to give an overall background of the subject thus revising the basics of the topics they have learnt in Std.

They encourage students to express themselves openly and share their work in the classroom and to publicly build up their self-confidence through co-operative learning and peer- tutoring.  The mentors of each class assess the students‘ needs in terms of knowledge and skills at the beginning of the program and the students who are weak in some subjects are given remedial lectures and bridge courses.  Our college conducts bridge courses in Mathematics titled ―Math on fingertips‖ and in English called ―Tongue Twister for English.‖

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ add-on /Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice?

The strategies that are adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge of the enrolled students are as follows:

1) To conduct the bridge courses to fill the learning gap for example, a) Bridge course in Maths, ―Math on fingertips‖ to facilitate learning

mathematics and to have a proper linkage between what they studied earlier and what they are learning now. b) Bridge course titled, ―Tongue Twister for English‖ is conducted in order to improve the vocabulary and grammar of the students.

CRITERION VII INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS

Narayan Zantye College of Commerce has always tried to create an educational culture that is conducive to environment consciousness. Tree plantation is the major concern of the students to maintain the pristine beauty of the college to provide a congenial atmosphere for the academic and non-academic pursuits. The college has a subject Environment Studies which is compulsory for all first year graduate students. As a part of this course students go for field trip to observe the mining affected area and write a report. It helps them to understand the cause and effect of ecological damage. College has conducted tree plantation drives under NSS and Zantye College Nature Club where students are not just responsible for planting various plants e.g. saplings, medicinal plants, and herbs, but are also made responsible for taking care of the plants till they pass out from the college. Nature walks, jungle treks and anti-plastic drives and cleanliness drives are also regular annual features to achieve the same. Besides the college campus, the college also encourages the students to participate in various cleaning drives and tree plantation drives.

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

College has formed Green Audit Committee from this academic year. A large number of medicinal and flowering plants have been planted in the college garden. The College has Nature Club and the club undertakes various activities relating to Environment Consciousness in the college campus. The institution takes all possible steps to make the campus eco- friendly. The use of plastic bags is avoided in the campus. The students and staff have planted tree saplings during various tree plantation programmes in rainy season (Vanmahotsav) organized by the institution and all these trees are taken care of and maintained by the institution. The open auditorium serves as a green background for college level functions and a lounge for students during intervals.

246

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco- friendly?  Energy Conservation

Large size windows are fixed on the walls of the classrooms to have good ventilation. This has minimized the usage of fans and lights. The college classrooms are airy and well lit.

The institution strictly sees to it that no electric equipment runs unnecessarily. The notices near the switch boards prevent wastage of energy. Thus sufficient measures are taken to use electricity carefully.Peons and class monitors are given the responsibility to switch off all the lights and fans as soon as the classes are over at the end of the day.

In order to reduce electricity consumption, LED bulbs, tube lights and CFL bulbs are used instead of tungsten lamps. We conduct most of the college functions in the open air auditorium in a pleasant weather which reduces energy consumption.

 Use of Renewable energy

The college doesn‘t have any facility for the same at the moment, but could explore the use of renewal energy such as solar energy in future.

 Rain Water-Harvesting

We try and control water wastage by regularly servicing the taps/ water purifiers/ coolers and educating students to this effect. Besides that, during rainy season college stores water in barrels and uses it for cleaning college premises.

 Check Dam Construction

Every year, a 7 days residential camp is organized by the NSS in the villages. Every year the students construct check dam at the Village River or rivulets or water bodies. This enables the smooth operations of farming activities.

247

 Efforts for Carbon Neutrality

The College has been maintaining greenery with shrubs and trees for keeping carbon neutrality stable. The College at its own level has taken up certain preventive measures to check the emission of carbon dioxide. The College has made arrangements for parking the vehicles of the students and staff near the entrance. This helps in keeping the campus as much as possible clean. The campus is also smoke free. ―No Smoking‖ board is displayed in corridors and canteen to make students aware.

The dead leaves and waste papers are not burnt. The dead leaves and waste papers are scientifically decomposed off by burying them in the soil by making pit in the adjacent areas.

Our NSS volunteers make paper bags and distribute it in the nearby vicinity, Bicholim market and other parts of Goa. We also collect empty plastic / milk bags and pet bottles. NSS students also conduct tree plantation drives and anti-plastic drives annually. Teachers are encouraged to provide soft copies of question papers in order to reduce the usage of paper. Car pooling is done by the staff members to reduce the carbon emission and also to save the fuel.

 Plantation

The green ambience of the college is largely due to tree plantation. There are various kinds of trees in the campus. They help to maintain the eco- system. Planting of saplings by the chief guests during various functions evidences the eco-consciousness inherent in the college practices. The basic objective of the programme is to sensitize the students towards environmental concerns, to inculcate the value of organizational commitment and ultimately to make the campus green. Various kinds of plants have been planted by the students in the campus. Tree plantation drives have also been conducted in association with other private bodies in the society such as Rotary Club, Samrat Club, Jaycee, etc. Our college has a dedicated gardener who regularly looks after and maintains the garden of the college. Special emphasis has been given to Bio-medicinal plants in the garden. Trees which bear fruits or seasonal vegetables like banana, drumstick, coconut and bread fruit are also planted and these fruits / vegetables are distributed among staff and guests.

248

―Ek manis ek zhaad‖ (One man, one tree) slogan became popular and our students took active part in it. The college has also formed Nature Club for the said purpose. Students have a compulsory paper titled ―Environmental Studies‖ in F.Y. B Com which makes an attempt to increase environmental consciousness among the students. As a part of this course students are encouraged to plant saplings and take care of them till they pass out.

 Hazardous Waste Management

Since College doesn‘t have science stream, there is no hazardous chemicals and acid waste. But, kitchen wastes are dumped in the waste pit for wet waste situated in the corner of the campus compound. The waste when decomposed is reused as manure for the plants in the garden.

 E-waste Management

The maximum e-waste generated by the college is mostly through the old and obsolete computers and other electronic devices. If some parts are useful, and can be used in other systems they are kept aside for future use. Our NSS unit collects e-wastes which are disposed off through public auction. College has mobilised Rs. 14,750/- through this activity. The waste compact discs are used by students for decoration and participation in competitions on ―Best out of Waste‖.

Objectives:  To aim at community development and sensitization of the community towards social responsibilities.  To empower the under privileged with knowledge and skills for improving their quality of life  To impart social and moral values  To create good rapport with the village and community around the institution so as to avoid menace of ragging, sexual abuse and other social evils faced by society.  To gain skills in mobilizing community participation  To inculcate spirit of social service in the mind of students to serve the society for the upliftment of downtrodden.  To aim at community development and to respond to societal calls in need of urgency such as natural catastrophes.  To help in total literacy programs or drive and also in imparting computer literacy programs to rural people especially women and weaker sections of society.  To encourage community participation in institutional activities.  To identify the needs and problems of the community and involve the students in problem solving process  To ensure financial inclusions and inclusive growth of the vilaages around.

The Context It has been observed that today youth are becoming increasingly individualistic, materialistic and are not thinking beyond themselves. It has been the constant endeavour of the college to change this attitude of the students so that they can care for others. By focusing on involving the students in social activities, we have taken a big leap in achieving this goal.  A greater percentage of our students who hail from Bicholim taluka belongs not only to socially disadvantaged sections of society but also with eco nomically poor background. In this context our college is spearheading its educational mission to uplift the poor and downtrodden. Community Development Cell of the college and NSS unit of our college serve as the ardent promoters of college-community linkage.  Needs and requirements of society are dynamic. It is the responsibility of the institution to respond proactively to changing dimensions and demand of the market and to devise and design the programs so as to meet the requirements of society. 257

The Practice The purpose of establishing the college is to impart good quality higher education to rural masses of Bicholim and Sattari talukas. It was a dream of Zantye Brothers to take up this challenge and to address the need of the society. The convergence between the college and the community has become more realistic with the activities and events conducted by Community Development Cell, National Service Scheme (NSS), Women Development Cell and other functionaries of the college.

The college has forged relationships with many local institutions (Samrat club, Rotary club, Lions club etc.) to conduct outreach and extension programmes. Some of the programmes are listed below.

 NSS Activities a. Special Camp A seven day Rural Camp is organized every year by our NSS unit. During camp stay, NSS students create a bond with the villagers by organizing rally, sports, talks and medical camps. b. Anti-Plastic Drive Anti-Plastic Drive is conducted around Bicholim market area. Paper bags are made from old newspapers and distributed to shop owners. c. Anti-Tobacco Drive Street play, rally and skit are organised under Anti-tobacco drive d. Cleanliness Drive Trekking cum cleanliness drive is organized. Such drives are carried out at temples, college premise and school buildings. e. Pulse Polio Immunization Our NSS unit helps in the Pulse Polio Immunization program in association with Primary health centre, Bicholim. f.
