Preface

The purpose of Higher Education is to promote excellence in all the spheres of knowledge useful to development of mankind. Excellence requires multi-dimensional and multi-directional exercises in improving the quality of education. A quality education is the one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable lively hoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual well being. Basic principle lies on the fact that the individual should have high level of literacy, numeracy and basic scientific knowledge and life skills. Universities are the seats of Higher Education in India besides, IITs, NIITs, Central Universities and other organizations. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan during early party of 1950’s suggested nearly 2000 universities by turn of the century besides stressing on quality. However, during the last 25 years the country has witnessed a rapid impressive growth with approximately 800 universities resulting in 8.15 percent (68 million) graduates in various fields of higher education. Karnatak University established in year the 1950 is the second oldest in the state very next to Mysore University. At present it covers four districts viz., Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Gadag and Haveri. It originally occupied entire northern part of Karnataka, but had to share the development made due to creation of Gulbarga, Davanagere and Rani Channamma Universities. Nevertheless it occupies excellence in various fields of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Life Sciences, Social Sciences and Linguistics. Looking at its all-round development in the past two decades, the University has been grouped among the best universities in India. It is pertinent to mention that UGC, New Delhi has accorded the University with Potential for Excellence (UPE) status since 2013. NAAC has accorded ‘A’ Grade till 2021. Knowledge Commission headed by Dr. Koutino recommended Karnatak University besides Mysore University to be developed as a centre of Excellence. It is hoped that Government takes proactive steps to implement the recommendations. In order to improve the quality of education with rapid development of globalization, the UGC and NAAC have been taking steps for strict implementation of accreditation of Universities academia. Academic and Administrative Audit (AAA) is an annual exercise in this process of institutional evaluation. In this exercise a team of experts from various

AAA 2016-18 1 disciplines visits all the Departments, Hostels, Administrative Sections, Library and other support services on the campus. The report of the AAA Committee is on the public domain and is generally displayed on the University website. The sole purpose of this proposed Academic and Administrative Audit is to focus on the enhancement of quality and good work culture in the Universities. The present Committee under my Chairmanship had an excellent composition of experts coming from various states in India and were from disciplines of arts, science, social sciences and agricultural sciences. The team of nine members (List enclosed) was divided into four teams with an internal member viz., Deans of the various faculties nominated by Karnatak University. The visit was spread over a period of three days on 6th, 7th and 8th December 2018. The Committee examined the performance of the post-graduate departments for the period from April 2016 to March 2018. The four teams (A, B, C and D) independently visited the department and saw the infrastructure and equipments and interacted with the faculty members of the post- graduate departments, research scholars and students. During the visit to administrative sections the Committee interacted with Deputy/Asst. Registrars, enquired about recent changes in policy matters, e-governance, e-tendering etc. In the hostels the Committees inspected the rooms and excellent structures of rooms, (viz. Nijalingappa Hostel) patiently listened to the problems and grievances of the students. It was a pleasure to visit the University Scientific Instrumentation Centre, Innovation and Incubation Centre, Skill development centre, Library, Computer Centre, Botanical Garden etc. The Committee particularly appreciates University involvement in education and social upliftment, by adopting a village Mansur. It is commendable that University looking to its success, aims at adopting 5 more villages in future. The report is briefly outlined in the form of observations, commendations and recommendations. The Committee also examined the action taken/Compliance report on the recommendations of the earlier AAA Committee visited during 2016. It was during the exit meeting on 8th December 2018 that all the Committee members expressed their happiness and satisfaction and also suggested steps for the future growth of Karnatak University. The Committee unanimously thanks Dr. P.B. Gai, the Vice-Chancellor for his keen interest and particularly, the authorities of

AAA 2016-18 2

Karnatak University, the Director, IQAC, Internal Members and IQAC Staff for their logistic arrangements, hospitality, secretarial assistance and co-operation. Personally for me, with a background of agricultural sciences and experience in accrediting Agricultural Colleges and Universities it was healthy intellectual interaction and I am happy that the inputs of the Committee were well received. Karnatak University being the leader in the region is to bring the excellence in education with all sincerity and devotion. I am happy to state that young energetic students, devoted teachers shall continue to strive hard to maintain the glory of this University par-excellence.

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats)

KIMS was started much earlier to any other well known Management Institutes in the state. Over the 42 years of its existence, KIMS has successfully carved out a niche for itself as a leading B-School in the State.

The broad strength and weaknesses are:

a) A long history of Quality Management Education and hence well respected by the industry and society at large. b) A strong well established Alumni who help in Summer Inplant Programme, Major Con-current Project. Final Placement of students and also help in updating our course curriculum. Whenever an Alumni visit the Institute, he or she interact with the students by sharing current happenings in the industry. There are around 1800 students who graduated from our Weaknesses: a) We are housed in a temporary building which is inadequate to meet the present requirements with the infrastructure facilities. b) Our infrastructure is not commensurate with those required for Management Institutes.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) Independent Building with adequate infrastructural facilities.

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section. 1. Plan for new building 2. Encourage startups from the Department 3. Focus on placement activities. 4. Encourage to take up minor/major project.

Observations:

 The Institute is fully equipped with teaching faculty.  The Institute is facing shortage of space and infrastructure to accommodate large numbers Students.  Institute has affiliated MBA Programme in 12 Colleges of the University.

Commendations:

 Innovative curriculum and pedagogy is designed and developed.  Professors are actively engaged in Research projects and publications.  Institute has some good practices like Parents meet, Alumni association, open house, Management Fest etc.

AAA 2016-18 46

 Institute has initiated canteen facility fully managed by the students.  The unique achievement of the Institute is its Students-placement- record with over 80% success rate.

Recommendations:

 Separate building with better ambiance to be provided for the institute. This would enable to strengthen the brand image of KIMS.  Institute should encourage the scholars to publish in Scopus indexed journals.  Professors should initiate consultancy services and thereby generate more resources for the University.

Department has no formal counseling unit, but as and when guidance and counseling is needed by students, they are helped by teachers in solving / guiding them in proper matter. Karnatak University, Dharwad has a special bureau for the purpose.

13. Action taken report (progress/development made by the Department/Sections/ Centre after the last AAA visit 2015-16)

Recommendation / Observation by AAA committee made are being complied with

14. Two Best/ innovative/healthy practices followed by the Department/Sections/ Centres

 Individual compulsory project assignments are given to the students of M.Sc.III &IV Semester to inculcate research aptitude and research orientation to the students.  Conduct of regular visits to cancer Hospitals, Medical Colleges and other institutions to enhance their knowledge.  Under the Morgan Club Department conducts varies awareness program by way of radio talks and television intervision by faculty to create awareness among the public about the genetic disorders prevalent in this part of North Karnataka.

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats) Strengths:  The Department excellent research background and is training the young student generation for quality research in animal and Human sciences  Faculty is actively involved in interdisciplinary teaching and research programme at the interest of present need.  Faculties have received prestigious awards/ fellowships/ projects from various national international agencies/organizations like DST, UGC, DBT and other funding agencies.  More than 90% of our students have got placement in teaching field and research institutions/organizations of national and international. Looking at the

AAA 2016-18 49

teaching research and placement opportunity, the strength of students increasing year by year.  Though Department has few faculty members the strength is less compared to the vastness of the subject. Hence we are difficult to run the course through teaching assistant, guest faculty and visiting Professors. Weakness :  Depleted faculties strength.  Inadequate infra structure facilities particularly students lab/class room and lack seminar hall.  Inadequate supporting staff. Opportunities:  The student graduates from this department have ample opportunity in research, laboratories in India as well as outside India.  The student graduates from this department have opportunity in medical colleges where MCI has made the establishment of genetic laboratory mandatory in all the medical colleges.  Our students have also opportunity in animal breading forms and chick breading forms, where they can use their molecular genetics knowledge in enhancing the dairy and poultry products. Threats:  The Department has a challenge to train the students coming from rural background and poor communicative skills.  The infrastructural and instructional facilities are not proportional to the increased intake of students year by year. Therefore, it is difficult to do justice for individual interaction with students.  Most of the students to opt for technical/professional courses, as a result for applied sciences like Genetics getting average and below average students.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space)

At present department has only one class room and department required another one class room and a separate library cum reading room is needed. We need one auditorium also for organizing a workshop or refresher course or a week or two. Hence, an addition auditorium cum seminar hall will help us to organize seminars/ workshop/ refresher course more often. We do not have a ladies room in our department and among M.Sc. students more than 95% are girls. Hence, there is a need for ladies room with attached washroom

Drinking water facility for faculty, students and research scholars

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.

 To conduct short term workshops in the use of molecular biology techniques for Ph.D. students of Life science departments in collaboration with KIDNAR.  To develop a comprehensive database of Genetic disorders based on Pedigree analysisof different population of North Karnataka.  At present there is no Drosophila facilities in the University Campus which can be used for study and research purpose

AAA 2016-18 50

 As the students of the Department having many practical's in Drosophila Genetics, are facing lot of problems because of lack of Drosophila Facilities and are taking assistants of some of the other institutes which are situated far away from Dharwad.  Considering above facts it is essential to establish Drosophila house facility in the Department of Applied Genetics.  At present there is no animal facility in the University Campus which can be used for research purpose. As the Applied Genetics is interdisciplinary subject some of the experiments are based on the animal models  Considering above facts it is essential to establish Animal house facility in the Department of Applied Genetics.

Observations:

 Entrance to the department requires a good look.  Only two permanent faculties are working in the department.  The department has collaboration with other organizations for research.  The department is taking support from KIDNAR for research activities.

Commendations:

 The students of the department are qualified KSET and NET examinations.  The students of the department are being well placed in reputed organization and industries.  Extra space is being provided by addition lab facility.

Recommendations:

 Appointment of additional faculty and non teaching office staff is urgently required.  Educational tours with emphasis on visiting research organization may be introduced in the curriculum.  Wash rooms with sanitation facilities are to be provided for the girl Students.

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept.,/Centre/Sections (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats) Strengths:  The Department has excellent research background and is training the young student generation for quality research in animal sciences.  Faculty are actively involved in interdisciplinary teaching and research programme at the interest of present need.  Faculties have received prestigious awards/fellowships/projects from various national international agencies/organizations like DST, UGC, BRNS, CSIR and other funding agencies.  More than 90% of our students have got placement in teaching field and research institutions/organization of national and international. Looking at the teaching, research and placement opportunity, the strength of students is repute increasing year by year.  The department has organizing knowledge enrichment programmes like lecture series, conference, awareness programme etc., Weakness :  Depleted faculties strength.  Inadequate infrastructure facilities particularly students lab/class room and lack seminar hall.  Inadequate supporting staff.  Restriction on animal usage for teaching and research by Animal Ethical Committee & UGC. Opportunities:  Zoology graduates have good opportunities in teaching field, Research laboratories in India as well as abroad.  Zoology graduates actively involving in competitive exams and enter in variety of administrative positions including judiciary.  Zoology graduates have good opportunities for self employment in poultry, fisheries Sericulture & apiculture including organic farming and employment opportunities. Threats:  The Department has a challenge to train the students coming from rural background and poor communicative skills.  The infrastructural and instructional facilities are not proportional to the increased intake of students year by year.  Therefore, it is difficult to do justice for individual interaction with students.  As most of the students are opting for technical/professional courses, as a result the basic science including Zoology getting average and below average students. 16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) 1. Staff both non teaching and teaching 2. Equipments according to the strength of M.Sc. students. 3. Class room, Auditorium and laboratories needed At present department has two class rooms and one of the class room is also converted into library. Department library has more than 1200 books Hence, whenever both class rooms are in use library cannot operate.

AAA 2016-18 103

Therefore, a separate library cum reading room is needed. We need one auditorium also. Since there are only two class rooms (one among them houses library), there is constraint for lecture hall whenever we need to organize a workshop or refresher course or a week or two. Hence, an addition auditorium cum seminar hall will help us to organize seminars/workshop/refresher course more often. We do not have a ladies room in our department and among M.Sc. students more than 80% are girls. Hence, there is a need for ladies room with attached washroom

The department has a separate Museum and one need to take care of museum specimen and maintain a record of museum specimen. Hence, there is a need for one museum curator.

Drinking water facility for faculty, students and research scholars

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.  Short term training programmes for students in Aquarium Construction and Management.  Programmes on personality development and communication skills.  Hands on training Programmes for students in Applied Zoological aspects.  Health & Hygiene Awareness programmes of public interest.  Short term training programme/workshop on current techniques on fundamental aspects in Zoology.  Plans to apply inter – departmental projects  Plans to collaborate with other institutions within the country and abroad for research work.

Observations:  The department has good faculty and student ratio.  All the faculty members are engaged in active research.  The department is well maintained. Commendations:

 The department is supported with SAP DSA-I programme by UGC- New Delhi.  Faculty members have received awards / fellowships and are attending overseas conferences.  The department has well maintained museum which is also in use for practical instructions.  The department has obtained permission from CPCSEA-an animal ethical committee, for maintaining and using animals for experiments.  Good research publications.

Recommendations:

 The department needs appointment of Lab Technicians, Assistants, Office Superintendent and Junior Assistants.  One more furnished lecture hall is required.

AAA 2016-18 121

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats)

 SWOT Analysis of the department The Department has had the distinct reputation of contributing to the study of Art, History and Archaeology. Recently some new areas of study .i.e. subaltern history are being included in the syllabus and students are working on those themes for their Ph.D The department has a departmental Library with more than the 530 books on different aspects of history which are being used by the Faculty and students. Field work for the post-graduate students as part of their project work is introduced since 2010-11 academic year and the department plans to make it a regular feature. Weakness After the retirement of few senior professors, who were specialized in Medival History, Art History, Cultural History and Archaeology a couple of year ago, the teaching of Archaeology, Art History is now restricted to introductory aspects i.e. Art History and Architecture principals and methods of Archaeology .The field research in various branches of History, Art and Architecture and Archaeology may suffer if the teacher trained in these branches of History are. not appointed. Opportunities The department has taken an initiative in training the students in English language and communication skills. Through the Historians’ Workshop, the Association of our Department short term training program in preparing for NET/SLET examinations have been organized in 2016-2017. Many students of the department have got opportunities to serve as teachers in schools, colleges and universities of Karnataka the Archaeological Survey of India, the state department of Archaeology, Archives, Police, Railways, Karnataka Administrative Services etc. Threat: With students seeking admission to M.A Course to the intake capacity of department, the updating of the syllabus from time to time to make it relevant for the research & job needs of the students & sufficient infrastructure and faculty, there is no threat perspective whatsoever.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) Requirements of Department -  Teaching Staff : Out of 11 sanctioned teaching posts, only 4 (four) faculty members are presently working and remaining 7 (seven) teaching posts are vacant. The three senior teachers of Department retired during 2013-14 academic year and one more teaching faculty retired during 2017-18 academic year. Lack of required number of teachers (i.e. Minimum -06 teachers) has caused problem in the continuation of UGC / SAP/ DRS -Phase II. Due to low faculty strength, the Department has so far been unable get the SAP/DRS- Phase II.  One Non-Teaching Assistant is still required.

AAA 2016-18 122

Infrastructure Requirements  A well equipped Seminar Hall with 200 seating capacity.  Two Class rooms with Seating Capacity of 80 each ( In view of total MA Intake of 95 Students) 17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.  An Independent building for the Department has been a long felt need. It can be of great help in broad basing the activities of the Department.  The Department intends to make NET / SLET Exam coaching Programme a regular feature in collaboration with the Equal Opportunities Cell of the University to train the students to do well in the competitive and eligibility exams.  If new recruitments are made in the next year, the Department Plans to introduce new Diploma Courses like Diploma in Art History, Diploma in Heritage Study and Diploma in Archival Studies.  To continue the ongoing research project under the UPE.  Consultancy to the Researchers from within the State and outside / abroad, who seek guidance from the members of the faculty in the areas of their study is in place. It is intended to develop this activity further.

Observations:

 Student strength is good.  Inadequate faculty strength.  Most of Publications in Kannada.  Very weak placement of students.  Publications are scanty.

Commendations:

 The department has very good museum and is very well maintained.  Good library with sufficient books.

Recommendations:

 Faculty members have to publish research papers in National and International journals.  Faculty members have to be actively involved in Excavations.  Projects from National and International funding organizations may be obtained by the faculty.  The communication skills of the students needs to be involved.

Two Best/ innovative/healthy practices followed by the Department/Sections/ Centres  Uniform clothing for MSW students of the Department and Department of Social Work of P.G. Centres of Haveri and Gadag is introduced. Support of Alumni association. Students counseling.  Field Work programme. Social Work Camp, Study Tour, Summer placement, Block placement and Dissertation/ Research project. And conduct of Extension activities

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats) Strengths:  The nature of the course which integrates the theoretical and practical components in its training enables the trainees to acquire skills of working with people at various levels and in varied situations. The employability of the students thus gets enhanced and increases the percentage of job placement. Besides being an applied course, it also contributes to the development of the overall personality of the student trainees, who can groom themselves in to the change agents. This is one of the most important strengths of the department.  The competent and dedicated staff, very good and a strong net-work with field work agencies for all the components of field work, the sufficiently motivated and dynamic students; the alumni who are ever ready and eager to extend their help, very cooperative agency supervisors are some of our strengths. Weaknesses:  The inability of the department in convincing the university authorities about the uniqueness of the course and impressing them to permit the department to have certain amount of autonomy in limiting the students’ intake, having a separate academic calendar, scheduling examinations keeping in view the conduct of academic programs which need to be scheduled as per the convenience of the external agencies where the students need to be sent for practical training.

AAA 2016-18 149

 Inability of the department to prevail on the students to opt for English medium, in view of the language policy. A large number of students since opt for Kannada Medium, a gap occurs in the teaching-learning process. This also affects their employment prospects. Opportunities:  The course with its recognition, even by the international developmental agencies, provides very good career opportunities to the student trainees in the domestic as well as international employment market. Threats:  The acute competition the trainees face from graduates of Management, Home Science, Developmental Studies, Rural Development, etc, whose boundaries overlap the operational areas of Social Work is an important threat the faculty has to discern with. Unless the course is revised keeping in mind the latest market trends and the needs of clients, sustenance of the course will also be put to stake. 16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space)  The Department requires additional teaching staff-especially considering the superannuation of two professors during the academic year 2017 & 2018. Further, the K.U.P.G. Centres at Haveri and Gadag too require adequate number of permanent teaching staff. This course being a professional course, adequate staff shall greatly facilitate not only handling theory courses, but also managing the field work programs which require an extensive net-working with GOs, NGOs, CBOs, VOs, etc.  Adequate space is one of the most essential requirements of the department. This has been one of the long pending, unfulfilled appeals, which is not only hampering the progress of the department, but also defeating the very essence of the course. This is basically because, the very nature of the course requires each faculty member to hold individual and group conferences-maintaining due confidentiality-with his/her field work supervisees practically on every working day, except on the days on which the concurrent field work is scheduled. For the want of space the members of the faculty are required to share the chambers, which not only defeats one of the most important principles of the profession and but also that they are unable to provide individual attention to their supervisees.  The inadequate class room space is putting the increased students’ strength to a lot of inconvenience of cramming themselves in the available space.  Further, a well equipped computer laboratory, a direct telephone line, a scanner, a fax machine, etc., are some of the important requirements of the department. The availability of these shall definitely strengthen the department’s efforts of promoting effective teaching-learning initiatives.

AAA 2016-18 150

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.  Department wish to make more research publications in the future.  Undertaking the extension activities by the department and even students of the department were encouraged to involve in the conduct of extension activity.  Developing student’s interest in academic programme and promoting skills of employability. Observations:  The faculty members are continuing their efforts to take the achievements of the department to higher levels in teaching and research.  All the records are maintained systematically.  Good placement record is noticed due to excellent curriculum.

Commendations:  85% of students are getting placement through campus interview.  NISD offering research project present is commendable.

Recommendations:  Efforts are to be made to improve the communication skills of the students.  More research projects are to be under taken from National Funding agencies.  Additional teaching staff is to be appointed in order to get qualified to applying for UGC SAP programme.

12. Is counseling for students available? If so, what are the tangible results? (Give a brief note) The very nature of course is such that the students get the necessary counseling almost on all walks of life. Whatever needed students are counseled on individual basis also. Some of our ex-students are successfully working in N.G.Os and some of them are good N.S.S. Officers in the colleges wherever they are working. Some of them have won awards at the National Level also.

AAA 2016-18 162

13. Action taken report (progress/development made by the department/sections/ Centres. After the last AAA visit 2015-16) 1. Many students make use of the Gandhi Bhavan auditorium for their competitive examinations. Efforts are made to motivate the in-house students to utilize the library. 2. The student intake for P.G. Diploma is full to its quota. But the rate of dropouts for examination is slightly higher. However we are trying to reduce the number of dropouts. The response of students in the last couple of years is quite encouraging in terms of their performance in the academic and extension activities. The number of students for OEC in Gandhian Studies is also increasing considerably and these students are quite regular to the classes and their performance in the examination is also considerably good. 3. P.G. Diploma in Gandhian Studies is an add on course. Students do not entirely depend upon this course for their prospects. However this course has motivated students to do their jobs sincerely. 4. The Department has enhanced outreach programmes. Along with the students the faculty stayed in two different villages and carried out social service activities over a week. 5. We have requested the University authorities to fill the vacant teaching and non-teaching posts so that the teaching, research and extension activities can be carried out as a team work. This is not happening precisely because of paucity of teaching and non-teaching staff in the Department. 6. We will request the University for the supply of some more computers for the use of students. This can help the students and the teachers make use of the available digital books on Gandhiji. 7. We are regularly holding inter-collegiate elocution competitions for the students regularly and the number of participants in these competitions is quite big in number. This way we are motivating our students to develop the art and science of public speaking. In the ultimate analysis the observations and recommendations of the earlier AAA Committee were quite encouraging. The Department will make all out efforts to make Gandhi Bhavan the nerve centre of the community around the campus. The University authorities were kind enough to increase budgetary allocation this year. And there is an assurance from the authorities on the enhancement of budgetary allocation in the existing Budget Heads relating to library facility etc. 14. Two Best /innovative /healthy practices followed by the department/Section/ Centre. Inter religious prayer meetings and training on meditation and Yoga is undertaken on regular basis. 1. Of late we have started organizing Photo Exhibition on the life and works of Mahatma Gandhi in Collaboration with the Department of Field Publicity And State Archives, Government of Karnataka. These Exhibitions have evoked a very good response from student community to interact with different N.G.O’s and Governmental organizations like Nehru Yuva Kendra etc.

AAA 2016-18 163

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats) Never before in our country the necessity of Gandhian thought and activities assumed so much importance because of the problems faced in the field of peaceful co-existence and a harmonious life especially in the communal sphere. Therefore, we decided this year to focus our attention on Gandhian programs in relation to communal harmony and national integration and we are happy about performance of the activities in this direction. The Department actively assisted all the activities of N.S.S. and N.C.C. Camps held in Gandhi Bhavan. In some of these programmes Dr. S. V. Shettar has acted as Resource person. He actively associated himself with the Department of Forestry in the A forestation programmes. So also he has acted as venue coordinator in organizing the Inter-Zonal Youth Festival. Strength:  Department has its own Library.  Sincere and punctual staff is available for guidance to the students.  The Department has very good relationships with the community around.  The methodology for teaching is based on ICT and the staff is techno savvy. Weakness:  Number of dropouts is more now-a-days.  Need to take up research projects.  Non availability of study material/books in Kannada.  Students are weak in English Language. Opportunities:  Students have openings in NGOs.  Our Ex students have an opportunity to serve as better N.S.S. officers.  Every college wants to start the Gandhian Studies Center and the Dept. has an opportunity to help them.  Exploring the possibility of introducing the Gandhian Studies as a full- pledged P.G. Course. Threats:  To retain the students admitted for P.G. Diploma.  To introduce the subject at U.G. Level.  Decrease importance of Values and Morals in the contemporary society.  To convince the students that Gandhian Studies is more relevant today than ever before.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) The vacant teaching positions should be filled up at the earliest. The existing auditorium has acoustic problem. It has to be attended to on top priority basis. Gandhi Bhavan Museum needs to be developed in the existing building only. Fencing wall needs to be built to secure this important central facility of the university. We require scanners and a Xerox machine so also the battery backup for the existing computers.

AAA 2016-18 164

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.

We have a desire to develop Gandhi Bhavan as a nerve center of community service in the region and we would really like to develop it as a most secular institution in tune with Gandhian thinking. We would like to develop a Gandhi Museum which should become the center of attraction to the visitors of our University. We would like to bring out some publications in the near future.

Observations:  Very good infrastructure.  Very well maintained.  Good Library.  Extensions activities are carried out.

Commendations:  Renovation of Gandhian Studies building.  Audio-Visual methods to reproduce Gandhian functions.

Recommendation:  Good publications in English are to be done.

Recommendations

1. Vacancy of teaching staff:

i. There is an urgent need to review the faculty positions in Departments. Thin strength of teachers is leading to heavy workload and dilution of effective teaching. On the other hand some departments are constrained to apply for external research funding like UGC-SAP programme. ii. Many senior teachers with lots of expertise have superannuated and left for better opportunities. This has caused void not only in number but more so on the knowledge. iii. Teachers from Govt. and aided and junior colleges with good experience, qualified in specialized areas are available, whose services could be utilized on deputation. iv. Deputation and provision of sabbatical leave in specialized areas from neighbouring states and abroad as a special case can also be used. v. Refresher courses, capacity building workshops to teachers is recommended.

Other Vacancies: Besides teaching faculty, vacancies of laboratory support in terms of Laboratory Assistants, and clerical staff to administrative offices, hostels, related support sections, estate office, need immediate look for management and administration.

2. Curriculum/Syllabus/BOS: There is need to revisit the post-graduate syllabus interms employability skill development and basic research involving interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary areas incorporating emerging areas of IT, Biotechnology, nano-technology, basic studies in Physics, electronics and life sciences. Similarly in Social Sciences and Languages may be followed. BOS could be reconstituted for effective restructuring of syllabus.

3. Collaboration with local universities, Collaboration with University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad: In the fields/areas of biotechnology, microbiology, vermiculture, women’s studies can be established. Research in social sciences with Agri Economics marketing, post harvest storage and processing are additional areas of collaboration. ‘Krishimela’ is greater attraction to students to get exposure to learn Agricultural development. Similarly, association with Law University, IIT- Dharwad, KIMS-Hubli, JNMC-Belgavi are additional avenues for collaboration.

4. Strengthening University P.G. Centres at Haveri, Gadag and Karwar is required in terms of faculty and infrastructure. Atleast an associate professor be made head of the Campus and designation may suitably be modified.

AAA 2016-18 213

5. Students across the departments very strongly demanded rest rooms and toilets and drinking water facility. The committee feels of constraints of girls students whose strength is also high in the University.

6. Hostels: A couple of hostels need to be repaired. Fans, drinking water need particular attention. One more new girls hostel is recommended.

7. Museums: There are couple of museums viz, Botany, Zoology and History etc. New building are also made available. The resources to modernize be explored through governments funding.

8. It was found in few departments that the equipments are not put to use and also not repaired. Special assistance to keep the equipment repaired be given.

9. Teachers and Research students from related departments may join together to conduct monthly seminars, conferences at state, national and international level.

10. Research scholars may be provided with fellowships, assistance ship for their financial supports. Students need to be encouraged by senior faculty to apply for fellowships.

11. Publications: Good number of journals and periodicals are brought out by the University. Attempts may be made to improve ratings of the publications to attract research paper contribution from University faculty and outside. Editorial body with external experts may be required to improve quality and standards. Private and Governments Colleges may be identified to other special P.G. Programmes to effectively get the service of local experts and infrastructures. Dandeli College offering P.G. Degree is a smart example.

Space Problems: With increasing students intake in the University for PG Programmes, the department including established departments are facing space problems, ambient atmosphere (toilets/drinking water) for effective learning situation. Long-terms and short-terms immediate requirements may be planned to solve the problems.

Alumni Association: The committee could not get exposure to alumni association. It is certain that university has one. Opportunities could be explored for financial assistance, employments, teaching assistance and many more activities at departmental level and university level. Alumni association is like a dynamo. Many private universities are run by funding of alumnies.

AAA 2016-18 214

Energy Park: The committee also recommends the university on starting energy park with emphasis on renewable energy resources like solar, wind, organic, wastes gasifiers biogas etc. There are opportunities to use solar energy for lighting and heating in hostels, Departments and lecture halls. Recycling of biodegradable wastes as biogas and manure for plants has tremendous possibilities. Technology for big and small plants be explored. Funding from departments and renewable energy be explored. Proper roof top harvest is an wonderful possibility of water shortage crisis. Recycling of hostel and residential waste water for gardening is a possibility. Planting of energy trees/fast growing plantations not only save soil run off but also provide water by giving for small tanks. Thereby providing build-up of ground water, favourable ecosystem and combat the rising environmental hazards.

FM Radio and AIR: University may have its own FM Station. All India Radio may be approached to allot a slot for 15 minutes to highlight the opportunities and achievements of university. University in consultation with other state universities can review necessity of course duration of M.Ed. course. If funds could be possible, general amenities like swimming pool, open air theater, may be considered. Accreditation of the affiliated college is also very necessary for quality education. The private colleges may be assisted and encouraged to get their institutions accreditation.

Technologies: Technologies developed through research may be popularized. Publication and communication to the end users be made. Wherever possible, worthy technologies be patented. Dharwad is well known for music. Many music activities in public are held in the twin cities. Active participation of students and faculty must be able to use it. In house performance at departmental level is required. Department of Foreign Languages needs total rehaul in terms of faculty, students, infrastructure and committee recommends introducing of couple more foreign languages. Geology Department correspondence can be made popular. Premises be kept clean. Campus requires beautification. Roads are to be repaired.  It has only 20% of institutions are NAAC accredited. The CDC need to reach college and train and encourage them to apply for accreditation.  There are certain departments which are eligible to get grant from various organizational programme like DST- FIST, UGC- SAP, have not applied for. Such department may be mentored to do so.  (Dept. of Biochemistry) As stated in the earlier AAA Committee report, again it is suggested to apply for DST-FIST and UGC-SAP.
