Green Graduation Programme Green environment plays vital role in human health. Green environment ensures a balance in nature with respect to optimum rainfall, temperature control and reduction in carbon dioxide level. It is also well documented that “contact with nature” is vital for psychological, physical and spiritual health, the healing power of nature has been applauded by parks advocates, landscape architects and horticulture patrons. The famous writer, Frank Lloyd rightly cites that “The best friend of man on earth is the tree”. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth. To promote healthier, kinder, smarter, more effective, more resilient, more beautiful more responsible, more vital populace, the University has designed a unique and novel initiative known as “Green Graduation Programme” to provide every individual student with regular, diverse advantages of green wealth. As per the programme, each first year student will have to plant a sapling/seedling in the campus and nurture it throughout their four years course period. At the end of their graduation they will be awarded of their graduation, they will be awarded with a green graduation certificate along with the photo of plant species maintained by him/her which will cherished by the students as a memory of their students life. This programme has multi-dimensional effects on the students’ community.  It creates affinity and social responsibility towards the environment.  It controls the pollution.  It checks soil erosion.  It is an eco-friendly approach.  It reduces the global warming.  It creates aesthetic beauty.

The green graduation programme is a “one student-one tree” concept and is a part of the sustainable development goal by World Health Organization. The University intends to implement this concept in its true spirit by assigning a student to plant sapling that gets enrolled to ingrain environmental consciousness and love towards nature among them thereby leaving an everlasting impression in their alma mater. Looking at the concept everyone thinks and feels that planting a tree is a simple approachable method. However, it has its own philosophical repercussions. In general, greenery can add lot of additives and derivatives with respect to nature/environment. It plays vital role in human health and environmental issues pertaining to the carbon dioxide (Co2), temperature and raining clouds. Under the National Service Scheme, NSS Programme Officers will distribute one sampling of desirable unique species to the each volunteer. The volunteers will start nurturing of the tree. Scientific approach of Planting: Digging the pits with appropriate dimension about 2ft depth, 2ft breadth, 2ft width, take out soil from the pits mix thoroughly with 50% Red soil + 25% sand + 25% well composted farm yard manure with bio-fertilizers to fill them. Further, take the selected species of sapling, remove complete plastic bag, and plant the seedling with earthen mud/bowl intact in the centre of the pit. After planting press the plant seedling appropriately in the centre and press mud all along sampling. Immediately watering is done sufficiently with help of Jar with complete wetting of the pit. Proper staking is done in order to give mechanical support to the plants and avoid bending due to heavy wind. Watering will be done once in four days for conserving sufficient moisture around the plant base. This will be followed by mulching of plant with trash or organic refuse. Labeling the plant is done indicating the student’s name, Id. No., date of planting, College Name, common and botanical name of the plant. Weeding will be done once in 15 days to avoid competition for nutrients and water uptake. Further, as the plant grows pruning and training is done based on growth of plant and to avoid water shoots, water suckers and give the proper geometry. All the operations are carried out by the students themselves for four years duration recording various growth stages of the plant. Every student will be enthused to nurture the plants with great interest and zeal. At the end of their graduation, they will be awarded with a green graduation certificate along with photo of plant species maintained. Now, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot has its own credible attention to this novel concept. The UHS has initiated this as a potential programme at all the eight constituent teaching campuses of the University.

Mode and mechanism of counseling being followed at the University Level Every year students from various parts of India join our university to pursue the education in various courses. The Counseling system provides an opportunity to share their thoughts and handle the new situations in life. Few students who are introvert have a problem in speaking out their problems. Nevertheless, it acts as a vital tool to solve the basic communication problem, faced by the individual in day-to-day life. Further, to improve and to strengthen our students mind set, we have undertaken this system in our university. Therefore Counseling is imperative and teacher plays a vital role beyond their academic life in this system. It is an informal programme of the university to boost the morale of the students. It boosts the individual growth through psychological and physiological support. It is very crucial at this stage in the students’ life due to certain circumstances which they come across. Although, it is student- centric, it concentrates on the prospects of the students. Mainly students are directly linked with the teacher as most of our students stay in the hostel and they miss their parents’ guidance. So, these students approach their counselor for suggestion. Gradually a kind of trust is developed and they begin to have affinity which makes them to think that we belong to same fraternity. Thus a teacher becomes a bridge between the student and the parent as he acts as a guardian to them. Every fortnight students have counseling session and they are being monitored by the Deans of the college. The students get an opportunity to speak out their difficulty about the academic as well certain other problems too. Further, a healthy and proper discussion between students and teacher helps to resolve the basic problems of students. Freshly admitted students of graduate degree programmes are assigned to the teachers for counseling and guidance. The teachers-counselors are provided with guidelines for effective counseling and preventing ragging, with the help of anti-ragging committees of the respective colleges. The counselor keeps track of their counselees with respect to their academic performance and other co-curricular activities. The progress of the students is informed to their parents. One senior teacher is nominated as Foreign Student Adviser to co-ordinate and monitors the welfare programme of international students. In order to improve the functioning of student counseling system in the University, it is planned to conduct a systematic survey by an external agency focusing on interaction between counselors and his counselees, constraints in counseling and redressal of the problems. It is also proposed to establish a students counseling and monitoring cell with financial assistance under the developmental grants by ICAR, by creating the database of all the students using the software developed by one of our students. Every college has its own independent set of rules and freedom; it varies from college to college. Counseling at various Constituent Colleges of the University 1.

6.6.8 FINANCIAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

University budgeting is the process whereby the plans of the university are translated into itemized, authorized and systematic plan of operations expressed in rupees, for a period of one year. Budget is the blueprint for the orderly execution of programme plans; it serves as control mechanism to match the anticipated revenue and expenditure. Primarily the budget provides an opportunity to examine the composition and viability of the university’s resource base for each programme and activity. The resource base includes a variety of sources and is typically composed of both plan and non-plan funds. The budget is drawn-up to ensure that the university’s activities and programmes are simultaneously examined to determine, in the light of anticipated resources, which should be supported. The process of drawing-up of budget communicates the university’s priorities to various constituencies, identify specific commitments and establish preliminary control over university resources. Budget document is used to monitor and control the ongoing operations of the university.

Factors Affecting the University Budgeting Process The mission statement of the university is an integral part of the planning and budgeting process. The role played by the university in teaching, research and extension education will aid in determining sources of revenues and ways in which resources are allocated. Management decisions affect the development of the budget and also the degree and type of budget control.

1. Fiscal Policies The extent to which the colleges (academic units), the research stations and auxiliary enterprises (press, transport, housing, hospitals, guesthouses, sports grounds, processing plants, raising seedlings etc) are required to be fiscally self –sufficient and have marked effect on the budget. A review of earning of these activities will influence allocation decisions. 2. Type and Degree of Accountability Individual budget units are held accountable for expenditure towards salaries, supplies and equipments. These units are authorized to incur expenditure to the extent of allocation and they are also authorized to appropriate funds from one head to another which inturn act as an incentive for sound planning and to reduce costs. A level of autonomy helps in building self-sufficient and self- reliant units within the university. 3. Pricing Policies The University policy on setting tuition fees, hostel fees and rates for auxiliary and support services, such as housing, transport, will influence the allocation of funds. The rates for rooms, electricity, water, medical, fellowships, and scholarships should cover full costs or should subsidize their operations depending on the extent to which the government is willing to subsidize by way of grants. 4. External Factors External factors, which influence the budget process, are: Source support including (a) State support in the form of non-plan and plan grants, (b) ICAR support in the form of development grants, catch-up grants & grants under co-ordinated and ad-hoc research projects, extension and training programmes etc.(c) programmes sponsored by Departments of State and Central Governments and (d) other agencies.

5. Inflation Inflation followed by revision of pay scales, allowances, and labour wages affects significantly the budget process. To certain extent energy conservation programmes, bulk purchases and consolidation of service function among university units and other similar institutions could offset inflationary effect. 6. Government Control Government financial control and shortfall in state revenues will affect university budget.

Budget Development Aspects of budget development depend upon the needs of the on-going and new programmes but within anticipated resources. Unit heads, using university budget guidelines, with appropriate returns by faculty, staff and land & other infrastructure facilities develops individual unit budgets.The Vice-Chancellor, the Comptroller and all university officers have the responsibilities for developing the operating budget.

Internal budgeting with unit heads. d. Preparation of university budget requests to the State. e. Placing the budget proposals before the Finance Committee and the Board of Management for adoption of the university budget.

Budget Control An essential ingredient of budgeting is the establishment of effective budget control. The principle involved is to ensure the expenditure do not exceed allocations. This includes the controlling officers and / or Comptroller call attention to major departures from budget allocations and to take up appropriate actions. The unit head, however, has primary responsibility for control of expenditure within budget unit and must ensure not to exceed budget allocation. Unit head must also plan expenditure for their units so that allocations will last through the entire year.

Budget Reports Budget control is done through the use of budget reports. Variance analysis is conducted to bridge the gap between planned and actual performance. Besides, with adoption of preparation and payment of pay and wage bills, payment and reimbursement of other expenditure is carried out at the Comptroller’s Office. Such reports are generated once in a month and placed before the Vice-Chancellor and the group of Senior Administrators for review. It is also placed twice in a year before the Finance Committee and the Board for similar reviews.

Budget Accounting University budget is designed as a management and control device and also as an integral part of accounting report. Through comptroller, budget is prepared, audit is conducted before admitting expenditure, revenue receipts are accounted, cash flow is controlled and required reports are generated on all aspects. It is an integrated and holistic approach. Interfacing of revenue, expenditure, audit and performance to assess the quantity and quality of services rendered in different units of the university is yet to be brought under on-line in the latest computer language.

Budget Revisions The respective officers are responsible once again to initiate revised estimates for the original estimates and are subject to the similar general review before they are approved and recorded in the books of accounts. If the amounts are within the total contingent account or accounts in the approved budget, or are covered by increases in estimated revenues or decreases in expenditure, the Vice-Chancellor approves the recommendations of the Comptroller. If the amounts are large they will be incorporated in the revised budget and allowed to be operated with the approval of the Finance Committee and the Board of Management.

B.Evaluation of course teachers by students through a questionnaire based feedback mechanism Teachers' evaluation has come to be known worldwide as a useful input to improve the quality of the teaching. While there are a large number of possible sources of feedback and evaluation data on teaching, the most common source of input for teaching evaluation is feedback from the students. In fact, student ratings is a necessary source of evidence of teaching effectiveness and obtaining student’s feedback is a routine practice in most of the institutions. As per the recommendation of the accreditation committee, the university has initiated the evaluation of course teachers by students through a questionnaire based feedback mechanism. All the students having more than 80 % attendance are asked to fill the feedback questionbaire immediately after completion of the respective courses. The questionnaire filled by the students is analyzed by the respective Deans at college level and Directorate of Education at university level. And based on the feedback of the students suggestion will be given for improvement. Most of the teachers as mentioned by the students were regular, prepared their class well, used adequate audio-visual aids and communicated effectively. Most of them were approachable and also encouraged students to participate in various academic and extracurricular activities.
