Executive Summary

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences, popularly known as BSSS was founded in 1972 promoted by the Archdiocese of Bhopal. Reading the time and in sync with the first Higher Education Policy (1968) of our country, the institution imbibed the philosophy of radical approach in education giving equal opportunities to all sections of society to strike a right balance between rural and urban segments of India. College vision and mission statements speak for itself.

Curricular Aspects

The college started with a Social Work program at the UG level in 1972 and B.A. (Management) in 1973 which in time to come became our flagship program. Today, the college runs Twenty Three courses including both UG & PG in its vast campus spread in Twenty Acres of land at a prime location of the city. Keeping its vision in perspective, the wide range of academic programs offered by the institute are designed and developed by academicians and experts based on need analysis and suggestions from stake holders (Students, Parents, Industries/Organization etc), the college has been adding on new programs over the years. During the past three years the college started with new courses of Honours in Social Work, English and Economics, PG courses in Economics & Sociology, 24 skill based certificate courses along with two UGC aided Diploma courses in Multimedia & Animation as well as in Child Guidance & Counseling and one Post Graduate Diploma course in Computer application.

Besides, the college has international MOUs for strengthening International Collaboration and Linkages: An Erasmus + project with University of Primorska, Koper, and Slovenia is the latest international venture in internalization. The college has been already in collaboration with Cambridge University for BEC programs and with Assumption University, Bangkok for MBA twinning program. Teaching-Learning and Evaluation

The number of enrolled students to college has progressively increased from a miniscule number of 9 to a modest number of 3563 students (2016-17). The admission committee which remains functional in the entire admission process adheres to the reservation policy for different categories.

The college provides financial aid/scholarships to the meritorious /handicapped students in addition to the National and State Government scholarships. A Fee waiver between 50% to 100% is given to students from economically backward families. The money allocated has shot up in the last

two years. In the year 2014-15, the amount was Rs 5, 00,000 whereas in the year 2015-16 it increased to Rs 9, 00,000. During the current year the college has sanctioned fee waivers for upto Rs 9, 22,165 till October 2016.

The online admission and fee payment has made it easier to reach extensively and bring transparency. The courses like BBA, B.Com. Honours and B.Com. (Taxation) often invites very large number of applicants.

The diverse needs of the learners are identified through interactions and special sessions with class counselors. Programs are then tailor made to cater to their requirements like remedial classes. The college has set-up a Language lab to help academically/language weak students. Challenging Tasks/Assignments are assigned to the advanced learners and as a recent initiative Incubation Cell has been formed to make them actualize their potentials and build competencies.

The focus on skill development and inter-disciplinary learning has been realized through the certificate courses and with the college becoming a hub/training partner to Bachelors in Vocational Education (B.Voc.) course introduced by the School of Vocational Education-TISS, Mumbai.

A tie-up with external institution for job oriented and research projects provide an interface to the learner. For example, two students of final year BA Honours Social Work did an impact Assessment of Mission Indradhanush (Immunization Programme of Madhya Pradesh) in UNICEF, Bhopal unit. Another is The Cross Cultural Business Communication (CCBC), an ongoing project with Indian and foreign universities /colleges which offers a rich interdisciplinary experience to the students.

The Autonomous status acquired in 2013 has made us to adopt major evaluation reforms like redistribution of Internal & External Assessment marks and introducing other modes of assessment.

The growth and development of the faculty is ensured through their participation in Conferences/ Seminars etc and the exercise of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) makes the teacher to review and reflect upon their work and set professional targets for their career growth and development.

Research, Consultancy and Extension

Our institute with no research based courses like M Phil or PhD faces the challenge of building in research in courses other than the ones in which it is mandatory. Further taking the recommendations of NAAC as guidance we

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 2

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

have gradually taken steps to strengthen our research by introducing research modules in the syllabi especially of PG programs.

The setting up of separate Research Committee in 2010-11 has advanced the research programmes. The Acquiring of softwares like SPSS and Anti- Plagiarism has made data analysis easier with a quality work. Recently, further impetus has been given to the research work among students and faculty, with a maximum financial assistance to a permanent/regular faculty of Rs 3,00,000 for a minor research project as an individual, and Rs 10,00,000 for a group research project, a maximum amount of Rs 20,000 for an Undergraduate, and of Rs 50,000 for a Postgraduate student.

The college has a Social Outreach Enabling Unit (SOEU) which coordinates the outreach activities organized by various departments. The participation in social activities/services through field works, NSS, NCC, and Sports etc. ensures complete preparedness and discipline. Ms. Anushree Harold, our student recently achieved an Indira Gandhi N.S.S. award from the department of Youth Affairs & Sports, Govt. of India.

The institution has signed MOU/ LOI for major projects and research with reputed institutes like Tata Institute of Social Sciences, College of Social Work Nirmala Niketan, Childline India Foundation, an MOU with Fondazione ISTUD Business School, Stresa-Baveno, Italy for “Y-ers Ready for Work around the World: An International Survey” project commenced on 13 February 2013

Infrastructure and Learning Resources

During the last five years Physical Infrastructure of college has seen a remarkable expansion through the Construction of Sports complex cum auditorium - with a seating capacity of 2500 that meets the requirement of indoor sports like badminton, table tennis and board games, as well as cultural programs. Main block has seen a renovation and a facelift. The buildings have been provided with lifts and are interconnected for easy mobility. A New Computer Wing has been built to accommodate more students.

The two storied library building of 670.72 Sq. Mts of constructed area has adequate number of learning resources with physical and e-resources like INFIBNET & DELNET etc. The use of ICT has been ensured through Digitalization of Library, Wi-Fi facility, Class rooms with Smart Boards facilities, CCTV in rooms of Management Building, Expansion of Public address system and Display screens for important and current information. A Crèche has been set up with UGC aid to meet the requirements of day care of babies of teaching and non-teaching staff, as well as of married students. The

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 3

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Pushpa Girls Hostel, having a capacity to accommodate 130 girls has all the basic amenities including Wi-Fi and Guest rooms.

Student Support and Progression

The Placement Cell of the college regularly invites organizations for placement drives. 2285 students were interviewed during last 5 years and 778 were selected by various companies.

Governance, Leadership & Management

The Foundation Society and the Governing Body are the highest bodies of governance.

The college follows a decentralized pattern in administration. The Principal along with the Executive Council generally discuss and decide about the roles and responsibilities and frequently review and reassess crucial areas. The Executive Council headed by the Principal, meets frequently to determine what needs to be done centrally.

Leadership is also encouraged through formation of several teams and committees which are headed by individual faculty. The departments have academic autonomy to discuss and design academic and co-academic programmes.

Innovation and Best Practices

One of the attractive features is the BSSS Rhythm – a studio to record and broadcast informational, entertaining and value-based programmes.

BSSS has an environment friendly campus and got this validated through a green audit receiving an ISO 14001:2004 certification on 2 February 2016. Few practices that we have are Installation of Solar Panels and a Bio Gas Plant in the campus; Rain Water Conservation through a pond and a check dam and Organic farming. The college celebrates Green Day to create environmental awareness and sensitivity.

We list Research and Feedback as our best practices among others. A dedicated team of staff from different faith and of high morale was testified by the previous NAAC Peer Team and the same was reinforced by autonomy screening committee. The college acquired ISO 9001: 2008 in February 2016 validating its existing quality of teaching and administration.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 4

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

BSSS has over the years evolved into one of the benchmark educational institutes in Central India, shaping the educational landscape. All through the process of its growth and development, the college never lost sight of the vision of its founding fathers and continued to be guided by the spirit of the ideology with which the institute was established - building a student community which is able to take bold initiatives, capable of purposeful and critical thinking, sensitive to the socio-economic needs of our country.

SWOC Analysis

Strengths

1. Prime location in the city with a vast campus area of 20 acres of land. 2. Promoted by the Catholic (Christian) Archdiocese of Bhopal which has the affiliation and networking with national and international Christian missionary educational institutions which prioritize education as a service and mission. 3. Highly placed and influential alumni in India and abroad who actively involve themselves in the college development on an ongoing basis and in a special way in placement of the new graduating students. 4. A proactive management who responds promptly to the feedback and need analysis reports in taking corrective measures. 5. A Wi-Fi enabled campus with smart board classrooms and other IT enabled infrastructure facilitating ICT in teaching and learning. 6. A dedicated team of staff from different faiths with high morale. The same was testified and reinforced by the report of former NAAC peer team and the autonomy screening committee through their report “Dedicated, accessible and earnest faculty that works with commitment and a sense of pride” 7. To be an autonomous college under UGC scheme. 8. A well equipped Research Cell, Placement Cell, Entrepreneurial Cell, Incubation Cell, computer lab, library and adequate infrastructure for the effective functioning of various activities/programs. 9. Partnership with many organizations for training/projects/internship for the students.

Weakness

1. Since the college has been enjoying a reputation in central India over the years, there is a sense of complacency. 2. Delay in getting required permissions from Parent University due to long university procedure. 3. Absence of nationally renowned educationalists in the teaching faculty. 4. Lack of clearly defined job description to employees and their personal accountability. 5. Limited freedom given by the university to curriculum design and development. 6. Lack of income generating consultancies/projects taken up by the members of faculty. 7. Being on a licensed land, the college has the constraint of starting new professional courses though the college management has recently purchased additional land as a remedy.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 6

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Opportunities

1. Demand for admissions for most of the courses/streams. 2. Network of resourceful alumni far and wide. 3. Opportunity and freedom to adhere to the academic calendar being an autonomous college. 4. Representations of Chairman, Principal, Vice-Principal and a few faculty members in different national and international fora which give opportunity to show case the college. 5. Association with Christian missionary higher education institutes all over the world which gives an opportunity to the college to access and adopt best practices. 6. Opportunity to adopt global education benchmarks as the college is having collaborations with five international universities and British Council. 7. An increasing demand for placement of the graduating students by organizations through campus interviews gives the college the opportunity to further explore the introduction of new courses in demand based on need analysis.

Challenges

1. Fast changing paradigms of education: challenge to cope up and incorporate them promptly and effectively into the system. 2. Proposed direct election of students’ Union and possible political interference which might affect campus discipline. 3. Dissuading students from the out flow from Bhopal for higher studies due to the still prevalent perception by many parents and students that Bhopal is not the right place for quality education and attracting them to our college. 4. Prepare the college adequately to be ready to go for a deemed university within 5-7 years. 5. To increase the number of exchange programs for faculty and students with both national and international universities/institutes. 6. To promote and stabilize the courses which are not in much demand presently. 7. To maintain a conducive campus culture with priorities of academic and personal development against the social changes outside.

2. CRITERIA - WISE INPUTS

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Design and Development

1.1.1 How are the institutional vision / mission reflected in the academic programmes of the College?

The institution keeping its vision and mission in perspective, offers enriched academic programs at various levels.

BA program with Social Work as one of the subjects (introduced in 1972, we were the second institute in the country to do so at the UG level), a Social Work Honours program, a collaborative UG program with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai and a PG Social Work program are indicative of our resolve to produce competent and prof essionally trained social workers. Specialized training in labour welfare, HRD, HRM and Industrial Relations, Family and Child Welfare, Rural Community and Democratic Decentralization and Medical and Psychiatric Social Work, meet extremely urgent and essential regional and national needs.

Our flagship BA Management program (introduced in 1973, when it was unheard of at the UG level), as well as our BBA, M. Com Management and Twinning MBA Program with Assumption University, Bangkok, manifest our commitment to the development of entrepreneurial and managerial knowhow and skills.

Our Commerce programs offer a wide range of choices for focus and specialization – Economics, Taxation, Computer Applications, Foreign Trade, Banking & Insurance, Travel & Tourism, which help students move into important areas such as MBA, M.Com, CA, CS, ICWA, Finance, Banking, Insurance, Hospitality, Consultancy & Computer Accounting.

The IT course BCA answers a very real need for technical expertise in the field of Computer Applications and prepares the basis for advanced programs such as MCA and MBA, apart from a host of other IT courses. The college offers several other Add-on and Certificate courses to complement the basic course and to give an opportunity to non-IT students in inter-disciplinary studies.

The Honours Courses in Commerce, English, Economics and Social Work are concentrated enquiries into these subjects, for high performers who are clear enough about their goals to choose their areas of focus and specialization at the UG level and ready to be challenged in the course of their studies.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 17

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Our focus on skills development has been realized through the three level Business English Certificate (BEC), University of Cambridge program, UGC add-on courses as well as 24 Certificate courses offered by the college which, apart from encouraging inter-disciplinary learning, also help us to keep the focus majorly on skills development. However, even in regular classes every effort is made to use the skill-based approach to learning.

Our Department of Education addresses a very important requirement of contemporary India- well trained, dedicated, focused, and value oriented teachers who can teach and guide learners to be knowledgeable, responsible and sensitive to the needs of the society and the nation.

In the deliverance of all of these programs we are guided by our philosophy which emphasizes the inculcation of certain core values within and outside the classroom such as social responsibility, ethical development, inclusiveness, accommodative humanistic approach to overcome cultural and religious differences, academic competence, creative and critical thinking, bold initiatives, commitment and trust.

1.1.2 Describe the mechanism used in the design and development of the curriculum? Give details on the process. (Need Assessment, Feedback, etc)

In the area of curriculum development the college is guided by the norms of Statute 36 for Autonomous Colleges of Barkatullah University and the UGC Guidelines for Autonomous Colleges, XII th Plan.


The BoS of every Department, constituted as per UGC norms, meet twice a year to review the syllabus for each course and to suggest improvements and assure relevance. The revised syllabus is then presented to the Academic Council of the college for approval which is finally endorsed by the Governing Body. Both of these bodies constitute representatives of HEI, MP, representatives of Barkatullah University as well as academicians and experts from various fields.


Suggestions for new programs and courses are sought from students through need analysis and feedback on running courses. Thus, some of the degree courses in the recent past, including Honors Courses in English, Economics and Social Work, new specialization options in Commerce, like Foreign Trade, Travel & Tourism etc. Public Administration as a subject in Humanities, as well as PG courses like M.Sc. (Computers) were introduced . As many as 24 Certificate programs, 2 UGC aided programs and one Diploma course, (the demand for which surfaced in the Need Analysis) were introduced by the college in the last three years.

1.1.3 How does the College involve industry, research bodies, and civil society in the curriculum design and development process? How

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 18

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

did the College benefit through the involvement of the stakeholders?

Experts from industry, GOs and NGOs, as well as academicians and specialists from various fields and representatives of the Alumni are part of the Board of Studies of all Departments. They play a crucial role in helping us to enhance and upgrade the syllabi. Both the Academic Council and the IQAC has representatives from industry, Civil Services, our Parent University as well as stakeholders, who give valuable suggestions on development of curriculum and starting of new courses.

1.1.4 How are the following aspects ensured through curriculum design and development?

Employability : This is ensured through practical orientation, which is integrated wherever possible so that students can establish the relevance of classroom learning by applying it to real situations. • Social Work: Social Work, being a professional course, gives high emphasis to the requirements of the job market. While designing the syllabi, it is always ensured that the inputs of the experts and placement representatives are given due value. Field Work practicum which is considered as the signature pedagogy in Social Work education helps the students to get acquainted with the voluntary sector opening the gate to prospective employment. • Management: Some subjects like Marketing Management, Retail Management, and International Management are supplemented by special training programs and skill development activities. The college has recently developed an Entrepreneurship Cell to facilitate innovative ideas and to promote entrepreneurship skills in tune with Make in India . Entrepreneurship is also a part of curriculum for the UG students. • Commerce: Employability is kept in mind in the choice of programmes as well as curriculum development. B Com offers several specializations like such as Taxation, Computers, Foreign Trade, Tourism& Travel, and Insurance. While Internships bring in work exposure and experience, pre- placement sessions including mock interviews, resume-writing workshops, aptitude tests etc. contribute to student preparedness. • Computers: The department regularly updates the list of practicals in computer programming subjects to develop coding skills and bridge the gap between curriculum and industry. The department organizes regular workshops and seminars on recent trends and techniques and other aspects of software industry to prepare students for the job market. • English: Research papers and dissertation have been made an integral part of the English Honors and MA English program for the Graduates looking at teaching as their future career.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 19

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

CCEs are built around skills training, case-work, projects, creative application of theoretical inputs etc. to build leadership and develop organizational abilities essential for employability. Besides, it is also ensured that our wide range of certificate courses and add-on programs train students in employability skills.
Innovation: - Contemporary and new topics are introduced in the curriculum wherever possible. Projects, exhibitions, movie-making, model-making, software development applications are integrated into practical work and CCEs. - Another significant development is the introduction of the Campus radio called BSSS Rhythm . Faculty members address curricular issues in the form of lectures, discussions, and interviews etc. which are broadcast through this forum. Students have access to the radio through the website and may also source pre-recorded programs and replay them at any time. - Students are encouraged to come out with new ideas. For example, the Certificate course on ‘Mathematical Economics’ has been designed by the students of B. A. Economics (Honors) V-semester.


Research : - Data collection& analysis, research papers, critical reviews, dissertations, research based projects are built into the curriculum wherever possible. - Research is an inevitable component of Social Work education. The UG and the PG students are involved in social surveys and dissertation. The students are motivated to publish their research work in indexed journals as well as to present papers in state/national level seminars and conferences. - A paper of ‘Research methodology’ and of ‘Econometrics’ has been included as an Honors paper in BA Economics Honors IV and V semester. - The BBA VI-semester students are required to take up a practical research on any management related topic with a reputed organization using field surveys. B.A Management II-semester students undertake two case studies on corporates in the area of Management and Organizational Behavior. - Students of B. A. Honors English, Semester-VI, are required to write a Research paper as part of their CCE, in the form of critical writing that builds upon the skills developed through their paper on Literary Criticism. - Commerce students are encouraged to do research on topics given as assignments by guided use of library, newspapers, magazines and Internet. - It is also a part of the certificate course of marketing research where fourteen hours are devoted to the making of a research project. Research projects constitute an essential part of other certificate programs.

1.1.5 How does College ensure that the curriculum developed addresses the needs of the society and have relevance to the regional / national developmental needs?

This process starts at the department level where teachers identify areas or topics of relevance. The curriculum development is done at the BoS which

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 20

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

consists of subject experts, nominee of the University, representative from industry/corporate sector and nominated PG meritorious alumnus. They help address local and national needs and suggest suitable changes.

Accordingly, Economics Honors syllabus has relevant subjects like Industrial Economics, Labour Economics and Demography suggested by experts. Similarly, the Honors papers of BA Social Work are designed keeping in mind the developmental needs of society. Topics on contemporary issues, new legislations, matters of societal concern, environmental protection are a few examples to substantiate the claim.

The college ensures that the curriculum bears a definite thrust on regional/national development through emphasis on right knowledge, attitude and skills among the students by: - providing skilled human resources to the nation’s workforce - developing leadership of high caliber and integrity - promoting scientific temperament and entrepreneurship among students

1.1.6 To what extent does the College use the guidelines of the regulatory bodies for developing or restructuring the curricula? Has the College been instrumental in leading any curricular reform which has created a national impact?

The UGC model syllabi and the Barkatullah University syllabi are the starting points for the developing of the curricula. The guidelines of the parent university prevent the changing of existing University curriculum but permit its enhancement. Under this provision new topics have been introduced for most of the syllabi.


We are the pioneers of BA Honors in Social Work in Madhya Pradesh, for which we have developed our own curriculum. We believe that it will provide the basis for other institutions to develop the curriculum at least at the regional level.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 33

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

The Institute has a tradition of organizing orientation for newly inducted students and the parents of UG students, during the first week of July. The Principal and Vice Principal share with them the vision and philosophy of the college as well as some of its core values.


The HODs and other senior faculty present an overview of the courses, examination pattern, internal assessments, college code of conduct and facilities. The session also includes a brief on various co-curricular and extracurricular activities, introduction to major committees and their functions along with the modus operandi of college administration.


The orientation concludes with an open forum where the parents interact with the Principal and faculty members and their queries are addressed.


On the following day, departmental orientations are held where the departments introduce the students to their faculty, support staff and other department specific amenities. The departments provide an overview of their focus areas, activities conducted under their clubs, newsletters and publications. They also arrange interactive sessions with the alumni members who share their experiences of college life. Some departments devise creative games and activities to make the newcomers feel welcome and comfortable.


The session concludes with a campus tour conducted by the senior students.

2.2.2 Does the College have a mechanism through which the “differential requirements of student population” are analyzed after admission and before the commencement of classes? If so, how are the key issues identified and addressed?

The College office as well as the Help Desk specifically set up during admissions clarify the doubts of applicants on post admission choices.


During the process of admissions, especially at the interview stage, students of B Com are counselled on the specializations available to further enable them to make an informed choice.


In the Arts stream students are given the opportunity to get acquainted with all available subjects by attending classes of all subjects for the first week. Subsequently, they make choices aligned with their own understanding or goals guided by the teachers of the department. Counselling comes in handy here, where for example, students with very weak English language, keen to study English Literature are either advised to choose another subject or asked to do a bridge course through the Language Lab to brush up their English language.


To eliminate stress and anxiety level of students, a concerted effort is made, through orientations and special sessions with class counsellors, to make the new applicants aware of the requirements and processes of Higher Education and documental requirements.


Key non-academic issues like residential facilities, possible variations in

uniform, entry passes to students who commute from suburbs or surrounding smaller towns using public transport like trains and buses, which could result in delays, are some other areas worth mention here.

Some of the other issues identified and taken care of are :

The medium of instruction at BSSS is English. This being a Hindi speaking state, a fair number of applicants, even though they may come from English medium schools, need help with language to enable them to cope satisfactorily with their subjects. These students are encouraged to register for bridge courses offered by the Department of English and a diagnostic test is conducted for students who wish to take up BEC program.


Special sessions are organized for newly inducted students who have entered a new field of learning with which they are completely unfamiliar. For example, students of BCA or B Com Computers with non-computer background or little knowledge of computers are asked to join Certificate courses on Hardware and Software offered by the Department of Computers to enable them to cope with course / subject requirements

2.2.3 Does the College provide bridge /Remedial /add - on courses? If yes, how are they structured into the time table? Give details of the courses offered, department-wise/faculty-wise?

All departments offer remedial classes to help students overcome learning difficulties in the regular classroom. Students with conceptual difficulties are identified by the respective subject teachers and formed into small groups. Remedial class schedules are incorporated before or after regular classes. Teachers offer customized tutorials to students at mutually agreeable times.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to the learning needs of advanced learners?

On a modest average, we have 15-20% of such students. We identify advanced learners through class participation and performance; volunteering new ideas; initiative to innovate and contribute; results of class tests / semester exams; quality of output evident in assignments, projects, case studies, discussions etc.

An important initiative taken to meet the needs of high performers is the formation of an Incubation Cell, with students nominated from each department. The objective is to help these students actualise their potential by providing additional opportunities for honing their skills and building their competencies. The college, with alumni initiative and support has developed a course in global readiness called Succeeding in a Globally Connected Economy , under which a group of 17 students has been trained by exceptionally well-placed members of the alumni to make them globally aware and competent. This is part of the college program on positive discrimination funded by the UGC.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 36

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Additionally, we respond to the needs of advanced learners by:


Asking them to undertake academic work like class teaching, presentation, assignments and projects on tougher and more advanced topics


Freedom and support to conceptualise and plan co-academic events; making them team leaders in activity based learning and adopting their innovative ideas. For example: Dept of Management conducted an event ‘Dynamic Economy’ based on carbon-credit trading, a simulation of a business set up


Motivating them to take up research activities and publish their research articles in In-house, Departmental or National Journals. They are also encouraged and guided to participate in Seminars and Conferences


Encouraged to join Editorial Boards of the college magazine, newsletters and wall journals

teachers involved and through them the Institution. The exposure, experience and skills acquired are then passed on to other teachers. Sessions with international faculty have lead to huge benefits in terms of cultural literacy and awareness, global perspectives and widening of student knowledge and skills base.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the College ensure that all the stakeholders are aware of the evaluation processes that are operative?

The management of the college has established its own Examination Cell as per the requirement of the UGC XII Plan for Autonomous Colleges, and in accordance with the Barkatullah University Statute 36 for Autonomous Colleges, which involves setting up of the Confidential Section, its own Printing Cell and developing bylaws based on relevant ordinances and guidelines for conducting of exams.

Stakeholders are informed about the evaluation processes through: ••• Orientation : During the College orientations the parents and students are informed about the scheme, pattern of examination and about the evaluation processes. We also emphasize how their attendance in the classroom can have a positive impact on their results. ••• Handbook : The Academic Council approves the Academic Calendar for each semester which also includes examination schedules. This is printed in the handbook and put up on the college website at the beginning of the academic year for easy access by all stakeholders. ••• College Notice Boards and Website : The examination timetable is displayed online and offline at least two months prior to the conduct of the examinations. The students are informed about the availability of examination forms 45 days prior to the start of the examination via public address system, by displaying notices on the college website and notice boards. The students are required to download their examination forms from the college website by using their user ID and password. Information on the mode of conducting CCEs is put up on the website at the beginning of the session.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms initiated by the College and to what extent have they been implemented in the College? Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the evaluation management system?

Some of the major evaluation reforms implemented are: ••• Redistribution of Internal & External Assessment marks-70% External; 30% Internal (CCE)

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 55

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

••• The restructuring of CCEs to make them more effective ••• Introduction of a new pattern of examination: First 10 minutes allocated for objective type questions (10 marks) on a separate answer sheet which is then collected. The remaining paper consisting of 60 marks is distributed between short questions and long answer type ••• Improvement in Quality of Question Papers: All paper setters and evaluators are outside experts - With 50% from within the jurisdiction of Barkatullah University - Another 25% from other universities of Madhya Pradesh - And 25% from outside the state - Better proofreading to ensure error-free question papers ••• Minimization of guess work, speculation & predictability of question papers

2.5.3 What measures have been taken by the institution for continuous evaluation of students and ensuring their progress and improved performance?

Efforts are made to make the CCE as effective as possible by: ••• Transparency – students are pre-informed regarding the mode of CCE. The teachers post their CCE plans on the college website. ••• Staff is encouraged to use a variety of assessment methods in keeping with the nature of their courses/subjects. ••• An effort is made to keep CCEs skill based. Since this is done on a continuous basis, it makes it possible for teachers to assess the exam preparedness as well as the weak points of learners and to take corrective measures by conducting remedial classes/ tutorials for them.

Their ongoing progress is also assured through class counselors who help them in their academic and personal needs, monitor their progress and address their difficulties, maintain and monitor their attendance and internal assessment records online. The class counselors keep track of students with low attendance and inform their parents by sending timely SMS so that the problem can be addressed.

2.5.4 What percentage of marks is earmarked for continuous internal assessment? Indicate the mechanisms strategized to ensure rigour of the internal assessment process?

The internal assessment of each paper is 30%. Since the semester exams are largely summative, efforts are made to structure the CCE in ways that test the learner’s knowledge, oral communication, analytical skills and other capabilities. This also facilitates the use of formative strategies.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 56

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

The CCEs are made rigorous by dividing each CCE into 3 parts: - 10 marks for classroom participation and performance-which also underlines the need for class attendance - 10 marks for pre-announced oral or written test - 10 marks for a mode of teacher’s choice

2.5.5 Does the College adhere to the declared examination schedules? If not, what measures have been taken to address the delay?

Yes . The College has always been successful in timely preparation and implementation of examination schedules as well as the prompt declaration of results.

2.5.6 What is the average time taken by the College for declaration of examination results? Indicate the mode / media adopted by the College for the publication of examination results e.g., website, SMS, email, etc.

The college normally declares its results within a period of maximum 21 working days from the end of its exams. Students are given SMS alert on the declaration of results. They can then immediately view their uploaded results on the college website using their user ID and password.

2.5.7 Does the college have an integrated examination platform for the following processes?

The college has an integrated computerized platform for all examination processes.


Pre-examination processes : generating the timetable, students’ lists, and list of the invigilators and informing them about their duty schedules well in time. The college constitutes two groups of flying squads (Internal & External). The internal squad comprises of the Head of the Departments and other senior faculty members, whereas, the external flying squad comprises of academicians and administrators.


Materials Management : The Confidential section has two store rooms – one that stocks materials for immediate use and the other for bulk storage. The college ensures an advance purchase of stationeries required for exams. Different standardized forms are used in the process of conducting examination so that proper documentation can be done.


Post examination process : Student data is maintained for future reference. The software is designed to manage the data, results and prepare the tabulation record as well as mark-sheets. The college takes utmost care in timely declaration of its examination results as well as distributing mark sheets to the students. Both generic and auto-processing are in place.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 57

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

The system followed provides for: ••• Announcement of Exam Dates: At the start of academic year ••• Advance Information on Exam Schedules: 2 months prior to start of Exams ••• Online registration: 45 days prior to start of Exams ••• Timely Online Declaration of Results: within 21 working days from the end of Exams; immediate and easy access for students ••• Online display of all exam documents: registration forms, admit cards, results ••• Immediate availability of mark-sheets ••• Quality enhancement in administration of Examination

2.5.8 Has the College introduced any reforms in its Ph.D. evaluation process?

NO The College is not entitled to offer Ph.D. projects.

2.5.9 What efforts are made by the College to streamline the operations at the Office of the Controller of Examinations? Mention any significant efforts which have improved process and functioning of the examination division/section?

Introduction of ERP based software for the examination section (real-time- basis) has enabled the examination section to have proper sequencing of its examination activities as well as effective data production and management.

2.5.10 What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation?

In case of any grievance regarding evaluation the students can apply for a review or re-totalling within ten days from the declaration of results. Further, the students have the right to represent any other evaluation related grievance like questions from out of syllabus etc. to the Principal. On receiving any such complaints, the Principal ascertains the veracity of it through due process of referring it to Subject Expert Committee. Corrective steps, if needed, are taken on the recommendation of the Committee. The college follows the norms and guidelines prescribed by the University in this regard. The students can take a look at the paper in the presence of the examiner or subject expert.

Though we did have a system of revaluation of papers for the last two years, but it was subsequently objected to by the new nominated University representatives to the Academic Council and was consequently given up.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the College have clearly stated learning outcomes for its programmes? If yes, give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

The college makes students aware of the learner outcomes on an ongoing basis. The learning outcomes for the programs are made known to staff and students from time to time through: [a] General and departmental Orientation programs for staff and students [b] The classroom where teachers are asked to demonstrate the expected learning outcomes of the courses and their practical relevance [c] Making use of old records of work done [d] Career counselling sessions where learners are made aware of the practical relevance of their learning [e] Certificate courses which have clearly stated learner outcomes as part of their course description [f] College Academic calendar and College website [g] IQAC meetings and Workshops

All co-academic programs and activities, where the learner is made aware of the benefits of extension and application of prescribed curriculum, need for critical thinking, research areas, career orientations, entrepreneurship, social outreach, placements, honing of skills, effective communication etc.

2.6.2 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes?

The institution promotes the culture of formative learning, through a multi approach which is practiced to build knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes. Monitoring is done on an ongoing basis by teachers in general and class counselors in particular, wherein high performers are challenged to fare better while the weak students are given customized attention and help to move further towards achievable goals. Learners are given assignments and tasks which are observable and measurable.

Knowledge Remembering: Written or Oral test ; Understanding: Class Teaching, PPTs, Discussion, Role play, Extempore, Quizzes etc. ; Applying: Model Making, IT Projects, Internship, Exhibition, Enactment etc. ; Analyzing: Research Work, Dissertation, Field Work; Evaluating: What has been learnt through Industrial visit and Educational tours; Critical Reviews ; Creating: Conceptualizing, Planning and Organizing programs / activities;

Newsletter making; Content writing; Designing College Magazine

Skills and Abilities: National/ State/ Regional/ University and college level participation in cultural, literary, public speaking, annual day and sports events
Attitudes (Values or Beliefs) : Environmental Awareness; AIDS Awareness; NSS and NCC; Documentary making; Social Outreach projects and programs

2.6.3 How does the institution collect and analyse data on student learning outcomes and use it for overcoming barriers of learning?

The college has a centralized feedback process on learning outcomes. The feedback and reports are analyzed and teachers are informed and asked to reform their teaching methods and strategies.

The college uses both formal and informal ways to see that learning outcomes are met. The learner is observed inside or outside the class and a record of their participation is maintained. The learner is the best person to evaluate their own learning, facilitated through their feedback on Learner Outcomes asking them to rate their progress on parameters: Academic, Co-Curricular, Extra-curricular, Skills Developed, Values Imbibed, and Personal Development.

Madhya Pradesh being a Hindi speaking state has a large number of Hindi speaking students. Consequently, some of our students come from Hindi or vernacular mediums and find it difficult to cope up. The issue is addressed by offering bridge courses in English as well as separate tutorials, so that this segment’s language needs can be met in a more customized way. Besides, slow learners and students from rural background, also challenge the teachers to adopt strategies through which they can be integrated into the mainstream learning process. Some of these strategies include, devising special simpler activities for them in order to facilitate easy understanding, using examples and situations from their environment to enable them to connect with content, giving them extra time and attention to help them bridge the gap. This approach has yielded very good results. This is measurable in the comparison between their level of comprehension, expression and communication in the first year and the final year of their courses.

Parameters used for analysis of data on student learning outcome are : ••• Continuous assessment with creative and innovative methods ••• Internal Marks and Semester exam results ••• Feedback from students and teachers ••• Student placements

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 60

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

••• Internships and report submissions Others sources include ••• Minutes of PTA and alumni meetings ••• Employer feedback Pro-active measures used to overcome barriers of learning are : ••• Teacher evaluation based on their records followed by corrective action/s ••• Discussion with the learner / parent if needed ••• Identifying learners who need special or extra attention ••• Giving more tasks in which the learner is weak but has interest, to build his or her confidence Using analysis of feedback to identify areas where desired outcomes are not reached, so that the staff / department can take suitable steps to improve quality, pinpoint the focus and optimize learner benefits.

Any additional information regarding Teaching, Learning and Evaluation:

Continuous Professional Development: The college launched a professional development program by introducing this concept to teachers through an input cum training session on 02 January 2015. The entire exercise is a customized one, to cater to different levels of the teachers, primarily on the basis of the number of years of teaching experience, identifying five levels.

It touches upon the following aspects: ••• As a process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that teachers gain both formally and informally, in the course of their work. ••• As a review for the teachers to reflect upon their work, to create a record of what they have done / achieved in a specific period of time, to identify their professional needs, to analyze and evaluate their work and to set professional targets for their future growth and development. ••• As a way to build professional relationships, sharing and learning from each other, and helping the management get the best of their teachers.

So far, four sessions of CPD have been conducted for the teachers. At each session teachers evaluate their past record and review the targets they set for themselves, what they were able to achieve and where they failed, to identify obstacles to their growth and to discuss with their fraternity how the hurdles can be overcome. They then set fresh targets for the coming 6 months.

Note: The reflection sheets and record sheets will be available to the NAAC team for inspection on their visit.

6.2 : Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 Does the College have a Perspective Plan for development? If so, give the aspects considered in development of policy and strategy.

Overall, strategic planning for the growth and development of the college happens at the level of the BSSS Society. Occasionally, strategic planning meetings are called by the Management where Consultants and HODs are also called in to give their suggestions. Teaching and Learning: Policy making on teaching learning happens at the Executive Committee level regarding overall strategies and approaches. Departmental meetings play an important role in identifying department needs and taking initiatives. Bold and major initiatives are then shared by HODs with the Principal or at the EC meetings for the required consent and approval. Research and Development: Policy making and strategizing for research and development is largely taken care of by the Research Cell under Principal’s guidance. The Research Cell has floated several schemes for teachers and students for individual and group projects which are funded by the college. Community Engagement: The college itself is intimately engaged with financing four schools for the marginalized and weaker sections in the suburban and rural areas. The entire college is involved in community engagement through its extension work and social outreach programs. On an average over 600 students voluntarily participate in these projects. Human Resource Planning and Development: HR policy planning happens at the Management level, starting with the Society where important administrative decisions like administrative appointments at very senior levels take place. These have resulted in appointment of Financial Administrator, Vice Principal, and Management Wing in charge as well as appointment of Consultants. Other major HR decisions are taken by a core group of Principal, Vice Principal and Consultants who also play a role in stipulating the work rules and terms and conditions. Issues of salaries is discussed at the Financial Committee meetings and passed by the Governing Body. Occasionally, the Executive Committee is also involved, where HODs and the Librarian are asked to spell out their requirements, so that adequate provision can be made for support staff, technicians etc to meet departmental need. Industry interaction: Our strong linkages with the industry, GOs and NGOs play a crucial role in projects, field work and practical for our Social work and Humanities students. The Computers Department has an MOU with CRISP that facilitates regular interface with the IT industry. The Placement Cell of the college also plans regular industry interaction which facilitates student training and preparation for employment as well as

The college functions through various committees for handling grievances depending on their nature. The committees try to investigate and resolve the matters in a fair and preferably amicable manner. The approach used ensures that the culprits are not harshly treated or antagonized so as to provoke a violent or undesirable reaction from them. At the same time firmness is used to ensure that the message is received and understood by the offenders. All efforts are made to take corrective rather than punitive action. Counselling is offered wherever there is scope and receptivity.

The grievances are received through- open forums, class counsellors, student representatives, individuals, meetings, discussions, complaint box and handled by respective committees. All matters are resolved with promptness. • The grievances for campus upkeep, matters relating to infrastructure, conveniences & amenities are resolved by the Grievance & Redressal Cell. • Discipline matters related to undesirable behaviour or violating the code of conduct of the college, hooliganism or rowdism, are handled by the Discipline Committee. • Women issues are addressed to the Women Cell . The Women Cell is able to focus more on women empowerment and awareness issues that would help bring up women of confidence, self-esteem and strength of character. • For general and personal counselling the students approach the Guidance and Counselling Cell. • The Anti Ragging and Redressal Cell deals with cases related to ragging within and outside the campus.

The Principal is the highest authority for the stakeholders to approach. Some grievances are brought up by parents during the PTA meetings. Usually the Principal addresses the issue immediately if possible, or gives assurance about taking up the matter at the right forum. Some examples are parent complaints against children pressurizing them for all kinds of expensive clothes and

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Presently, there has not been any study on the incremental academic growth of students from disadvantaged sections of society. However, provisions for admitting students from under-privileged sections of society are adhered to during admission. The college also has provision for fee concessions and exemptions for students from disadvantaged sections of society. Additionally, the college conducts classes to train such students for preparation for competitive exams. The amount of money allocated for economically backward students in the form of fee waivers and fee concessions has shot up dramatically in the last two years. In the year 2014-15, the amount was Rs 5,00,000 whereas in the year 2015-16 it increased to Rs 9,00,000. During the current year the college has sanctioned fee waivers for upto Rs 9, 22,165 till October 2016.

6.5.7 What policies are in place for the periodic review of administrative and academic departments, subject areas, research centres, etc.?

The Principal, who is also the Director of IQAC, has made a policy of regular meetings at all levels.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better academic and administrative functioning of the College.

(1) Feedback

Title :Factoring in feedback from all the potential stakeholders towards achieving enhanced administrative and academic quality

Objectives : The objectives / intended outcomes of this practice are: 1- To develop a sense of involvement across the spectrum of stakeholders of the college, i.e. students, teachers, parents, office staff, consultants, alumni, external academic experts 2- To measure the satisfaction level of all the stakeholders and to identify the areas of pride or satisfaction as well as the areas of concern for the institute 3- To provide an opportunity to concerned stakeholders for the betterment of the college, thereby making them active contributors to the enhancement of the quality in college in academics and governance 4- Stakeholder feedback helps not only in evaluating outcomes, but also the impact of the interventions planned and implemented, thereby enabling appropriate action for any waywardness or lapse

The Context : The Feedback Review Committee takes feedback from the students and other stakeholders more or less on parameters laid down by NAAC. The decision on inclusion of criteria is one of the major areas that require contemplation.

While we aim at a full-fledged feedback mechanism, for all the processes and sub-processes, events and sub-events, we had problems apropos designing of relevant instruments for capturing it.

Although we went by measuring impact of most of our academic and administrative events / processes through a five pointer likert scale comprising of few items relevant to the event/process, we still believe that more robust tools could have been designed with the help of external experts in this regards.

The Practice : Feedback mechanism by itself is a very commonplace practice, but our manner of design and implementation makes it unique. The college has been trying very hard to identify the right pool of human resources for its functioning and values people the most. Through the years of regular feedback

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 185

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

practice, we have realized that mechanized feedback is tantamount to nothing. Therefore, we constantly try innovations in our feedback processes for ensuring greater reliability and validity.

For the last couple of years, we have used multiple feedback systems, i.e. one participant/event/process will be evaluated by multiple stakeholders connected to it. E.g. at one point in time we thought we will reduce the activities that are not purely academic in nature, however considering the feedback from a section of in-house students as well as practices adopted by the youth outside, we found it appropriate not to reduce but to encourage many other extra- curricular events inside the college.

Another unique point of this system is we have imbibed the principle of deriving a course of action very cautiously while dealing with extreme feedbacks on both the ends. Therefore, outliers need to be dealt with sensitively. This to preserve quality of human resources and retain the right kind of talent.

We attach a high degree of importance to all the open ended questions in our feedback tools. Over the years we have realized that answers to close ended questions are bounded by the principle of rationality whereby respondent doesn’t have the liberty to express his/her mind. However less, (almost 20%) of the total respondents do respond to such open ended qualitative questions in the tool, but they provide us with 80% of the insight we gain through this entire feedback process.

Objective feedback mechanism but detached consequences : One of the limitations encountered in this regard, is that every decision of the institution can’t be linked to feedback mechanism, therefore we no longer emphasize that everything we decide is objectively based feedback results. The institution has to run in the economic milieu dominated by the rules of the market, at times certain decisions of the college are independent of the feedback mechanism. We, therefore emphatically express this as our primary limitation that we cannot base everything on feedback.

Evidence of Success : We have seen a considerable change in attitudes of employees towards work as a result of 360 degree feedback mechanism providing us an opportunity to compare and contrast feedback of single event/person/process from multiple stakeholders. This has enabled us in: a) Segmenting stakeholders according to their degree of importance for different kinds of feedback processes. We could succeed in targeting the right people for the right feedback in a more efficient manner. b) Because of new feedback system, accountability of all the in-house stakeholders who affect the quality of functioning of the college has been

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 186

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

fixed to a large extent. For example, because of strong suggestions and feedback from parents, the college now, despite few voices of opposition, has made college uniform mandatory. In fact this was one of the very sensitive issues dealt with by the college. c) Constant review of feedback also helped us identify problems faced by students such as queues at office counters, having to rely on information through a combination of notice boards, circulars and the website. The college now ensures that most documentation relating to admissions, fee payments, examinations, results, attendance etc as well as dissemination of information, happens online. d) Alumni feedback has helped in tapping Alumni potential as Resource Persons for the students as well as facilitators of placement drives, through offers and suggestions made by them.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required : Following problems have been encountered using this approach : 1- Parent feedback sessions, help us identify problems pertaining to their wards. We then reflect together, at the Parent Executive meet or the general PTA, on best ways to address these issues. 2- We would be requiring a set up whereby we can engage our alumni more frequently for advising us on many of the cutting edge issues that our students confront in new age market economy. 3- We have felt the need to hone our feedback system in such a way that it should rather be problem solving than just being informative. We constantly look for those inputs and innovations from whichever corner they may come.

Data Handling/Reservoir : Data gathered during feedback process is humongous, which requires proper care; we are in the process to set up a database, which can take care of this.

Sharing the Learning/Publication : With our continued effort in this direction, in a few years from now, we would have much to share with the academic fraternity through publications, on how feedback mechanisms improve the quality of administration and academics.

(2) Research

Title :Enhancing the teaching learning experience with Research

Objectives : The objective of all evidence-based education is to adopt, in all aspects of education, techniques that have empirical proof of success. From amongst several of these techniques enriching teaching-learning experience with research is one of the most useful. BSSS has given special consideration to

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 187

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

promote an environment of scientific research in the campus. This is an objective that is aimed at all those associated with BSSS including faculty members, students, non-academic staff, external consultants and researchers. The basic themes behind this practice are to have awareness about recent developments in the discipline, develop critical thinking skills and give solutions to real-world problems.

Practice : The biggest challenge in stimulating research in the college was the outlook of the teachers and students. With the granting of autonomy the college seized the opportunity of building in research strongly as part of curriculum, as well as to extend the curriculum. Consequently, emphasizing developing of research skills, creating awareness of current trends and examining knowledge critically.

BSSS established a Research Cell in 2010 to promote and facilitate research activities. To develop critical thinking BSSS actively encourages its faculty and students to pursue research projects. A number of faculty and students have taken up research projects, with financial support of the college that has added to richness of the teaching-learning experience.

However, BSSS was primarily a community-teaching college. Teaching only culture that dominated BSSS for decades became the biggest hurdle in branching out to research. Everything had to be built from the scratch for research. From motivating teachers to building infrastructure for research would require time. Each of the problems has to be tackled gradually.

- First was to build an infrastructure for research. All the material related to current trends and best-practices in research were needed. Also needed was subscription to journals relevant to disciplines. - Next constraint directly draws from the poor standards of graduate training in research at Barkatullah University. The faculty do not have a very good idea about what and how of research. This severely restricted the scope of promotion of a research environment. - Third problem was and still is to motivate people to do research. This happens to be the most pressing problem and something that the college is still grappling with.

Evidence of Success : Research is so diverse that it is not really a true measure of its success. However, there are some pointers to indicate that the institute has been successful to some extent with its policy of aggressively pushing for research. The number of research contributions by the faculty has gone up significantly over the years. This can be evidenced by the number of projects sanctioned by in-house and external agencies, number of publications as well as conference

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 188

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

presentations.

The College is also emerging as a platform, albeit at a micro-level, of exchange of ideas. This can been gleaned from the number of conferences and workshops related to research being organized. A small but definitive impact can be seen on the students’ interest as well. A number of students have applied for grants to pursue their research ideas. Some of the students are actively involved in peripheral activities related to research such as contributing as researchers to newspapers (e.g. Angeline P Alex in The Optimist Citizen).

Problems Encountered and Resources Required : The problems of promoting research environment are as diverse as research itself. The problems encountered by college directly stemmed from the contextual issues and limitations mentioned above. Infrastructure for pursuing even modest research was inadequate. Thus, initially the Research Committee focused on procuring books, journal subscriptions and other research utilities such as software. Many of these have now been met, while others are in the pipeline.

To develop research skill amongst teachers a number of training programs on diverse domains of research methodology have been conducted. Enthusiasm still remains a problem and teachers’ self-evaluation points out time-constraint as the major culprit. The College is trying to put up a policy which would give sufficient time to teachers for pursuing their research projects.

The most heartening aspect of this best practice is the remarkable progress we have made in the past four years, and with the new Research Policy in place, we have the conviction that we are well on our way to becoming a research- oriented institution. We already have international collaborative research projects in our portfolio and hope to strengthen this further with the coming through of the Erasmus + project.

By way of citing many cases of such individuals who underwent and survived extremely difficult circumstances in their lives, yet came out with flying colors and achieved success in their life, a very strong message was delivered to young girls. - The effort is expanded to various schools to build positive mental attitude among the adolescents. Sessions on positive mental health is organized by the Department as a part of Disha. - Case Work intervention- Two social work trainees were placed in the school for con-current field work. The class teachers of various classes identified the students who require care and emotional support, poor in studies, behavioral problems and other related problems were sent to the trainees. The students shared their problems and the trainees used different case work methods to help the clients to cope up with the situation. The trainees with the permission of the school management took a micro level survey on the school climate with special reference to the approach of the teaching faculty towards the students. Some of the students during the case work session shared regarding the sexual abuse they have faced in life. It was an eye opening about the issues and how vulnerable children are even at home. Seeing gravity of this issue the department in collaboration with Childline (Nodal) has planned consultation meet for School teachers on JJ (Care & Protection) Act 2015 & POCSO Act 2012.

38. Detail any five Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of the department Strengths 1) Department has qualified faculty members with most of them fulfilling norms of appointment. 2) Department has focus and emphasis on research with on- going projects to provide exposure to students. 3) Department has industrial collaborations and networking for enhanced and hands on learning. 4) Department offers one of the most rigorous programs in Social Work at UG and PG level which is quite unique in central India. 5) BSSS Journal of Social Work could attract articles from academicians across the country. Weaknesses 1) Department lacks inter-departmental learning. 2) Department suffers from a high attrition of the faculty members. We are trying to overcome this issue. 3) The department needs more representation at various national and international seminars, conferences and workshops which are organized out of MP. 4) Linkages with alumni is another area, where department needs to be more organized and would like to engage with many of our alumni at greater level. 5) Department lacks Government funded social welfare projects Opportunities 1) Department is working out and exploring opportunities with multiple unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral development agencies, GOs, & INGOs for various field based projects with or without research in near future, once this works out department can reach up to newer heights. 2) Enhanced networking and partnership with various agencies and organizations would let the department ensure on campus placement for all the enrolled students especially for MA in Social Work Program which is the only popular professional PG course offered by the college. 3) The department has potential for ties-up with national and international universities. For the last few months, we are sincerely exploring possibilities. 4) Department has the potential to offer its expertise to the potential customers of its knowledge base in social work like various funding and development agencies , community based organizations. 5) Department aims to ensure greater participation of students for various fellowships and scholarships in which

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 258

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

area the Department has excellent record in facilitating students to access fellowships and scholarships. Here is the opportunity to pursue and grow that endeavor. Challenges 1) To come up as the preferred destination of students for social work education at the national level. 2) Department would like to engage in advisory services to government (both state as well as central) for which our members need to work hard on collaborative effort and external projects. 3) Improving quality of research output is another challenge the department is confronted with. It’s an ongoing and continuous process. 4) To increase the frequency of BSSS Journal of Social Work from yearly publication to quarterly publication, for which we need to attract greater number of articles across the spectrum of social work and development studies scholarship. 5) To introduce more specializations in Social Work at PG level.

39. Future plans of the department.

Start BSW and MSW program in the next session, Enhancing collaboration with industry / NGO partners so that our students get wider exposure.


Coming up with community college and skilled development center


Partnering with NGOs/GOs and various other corporate foundations for funded projects (both intervention and research projects)


Developing and nurturing a formal alumni association coupled with alumni welfare fund


Up-scaling the activities of Professional Social Work Students Association (PSWSA) and making it more professional, more student centric and focused and enabling it to a level whereby it can collaborate independently on behalf of the department with various corporate foundations/GOs / NGOs for different for-profit and not-for-profit activities


Nurturing various students ventures like DISHA and PAL so that their activities are boosted with each passing year.

POST-ACCREDITATION INITATIVES

The recent academic history of BSSS bears ample evidence of numerous steps taken by the college in the area of improving the quality of education and providing the right impetus to effective learning. This is evidenced by the caliber and preparedness of our students and the recognition and reputation enjoyed by the college amongst institutes of Higher Education.

Autonomy : The most significant post accreditation initiative of the college has been the effort that resulted in granting of autonomous status in May 2013. The college is trying its best to utilize the opportunities provided by autonomy to achieve its goals to our utmost satisfaction and make learning at BSSS a stimulating and meaningful experience. We have exercised our academic freedom to structure our own academic calendar, increase our range of courses and programs and bring in interdisciplinary academic programs in the form of certificate courses and add on programmes. Examination Reforms : The granting of autonomy has lead to the setting up of our own Examination Cell which is the most important element of the Autonomous Cell. The college has made several reforms in Exams which includes complete computerisation of processes and procedures, rescheduling of time tables to make exams as compact as possible thus generating more teaching days, achieving higher levels of confidentiality, strengthening the process of cross-checking of marks to minimize errors in entries, optimizing outside expertise to set and examine question papers and timely declaration of results, etc. A variety of assessment tools are used for internal assessment in addition to conventional ones, such as video making, research projects, case studies, panel discussions, reports based on field visits, Ad designing, event management, online trading, writing reviews, research papers, web content etc. Through our CCEs we also try and use methods of evaluation and assessment which further strengthen the learning process and reflect more accurately the level and standard of the learner.

Strengthening of Research : Being a teaching institute with no research based courses like M Phil or PhD, building in research into our PG and UG programs has been a challenge. Yet, understanding the value of research, we have strengthened our Research Committee into a full fledged Cell, housed it in spacious rooms with all the modern facilities needed for serious research work. The curriculum of all our PG courses has been redesigned to ensure that all students undertake dissertations. Honours courses have integrated research through internal marking. Another mechanism through which research has come into significant focus is the provision for individual and group research for students and teachers, funded by the college. We believe that this will go a long way in building up a culture of research in the institute.

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 315

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

Marked Increase in number of Publications by Teachers : Intensified research activities like research based seminars, workshops and trainings, availability of better research infrastructure as well as management thrust and support, have resulted in a sizable increase in the number of teacher publications and research projects. In the period under assessment 63 papers were presented by teaching staff in international conferences and seminars, and 155 in national events apart from 61 at academic events organized by BSSS. The number of publications witnessed an astronomical rise with 70 papers published in international journals some of which were published abroad, 118 in national journals followed by 83 in BSSS journals, which also enjoy national repute, receiving a large number of contributions from outside. The number of books and chapters in a book with ISBN number are 61. Starting of new courses including 03 Honours courses in Humanities : Opportunities for learning have been expanded and diversified with the introduction of new programmes and the addition of several options to existing courses. This has helped us to enrich and diversify our portfolio. The numerous (25) certificate courses introduced in this period have been designed with a view to promoting inter-disciplinary learning and accommodating creativity and innovation, extension of the curriculum to establish its relevance to real life situations, as well as to enrich the entire learning experience by value addition to degree programs for which students are enrolled. Enhancing Library Resources : A concerted effort has been made to expand the library and enhance its resource base. In the last four years the number of hard copy books has increased by 35 %. Keeping in mind the vast e-resources available, and that most staff and students are happier tapping into them, the library provides access to 1, 35,000 (E-Books) and 6,000 (E-Journals) through INFLIBNET and DELNET facility. All teachers and desirous students are provided with a log in and password to access these resources 24*7. The library displays new arrivals to keep users informed about new additions, as well as theme based books on rotation basis to generate interest and to encourage readership for all categories and genres of books. The reading space for library has been expanded with the addition of a new spacious hall. Availability of computers with Internet access and creation of digital database, online access to this base through the college website, facilitating easy checking of the availability of books as well as booking them online, are additional features of the library services added in recent years. ISO Certification : As a part of introducing new and additional quality control mechanisms in teaching and learning, the college initiated the process of ISO 9001: 2008 & ISO 14001:2004 certification in the month of June, 2015. This was followed by a pre-visit by ISO team to the college in the month of October, 2015. Thereafter, training was provided to 16 teaching faculty and 5 office staff with the intention of making them trained internal auditors. 16 staff members were awarded the certificate of trained internal auditor. An internal

audit was conducted by the trained team for various departments and the general upkeep of the college, which brought to light certain areas of improvements and non conformities. Corrective actions were taken immediately by all the respective departments. The final round of Audit was done on 2nd February, 2016 by a team of two ISO members and certification was granted for ISO 14001(Environmental Management System) and ISO 9001-2008(Quality Management System). Staff Trainings and FDPs : Faculty Development programs were strengthened in the last four years in terms of the quality and scale of the programs, as well as the frequency. As many as 20 such programs were conducted for the entire teaching staff with reputed experts called in from renowned Universities. These included Resource persons like Prof Yogendra S.Verma, Vice Chancellor & Dean, Management Studies, of Central University of Himachal Pradesh, Prof Pushpinder Syal of Punjab University, Chandigrah and Dr Gurupdesh Singh from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Besides a 4 week Orientation Program for teachers was organised exclusively for BSSS teachers by Academic College, Indore in which 34 teachers participated. 7 of these 20 FDPs were on Research based themes by recognized experts to create awareness and give an impetus to research amongst the staff. Eight customized department level training sessions were also conducted. CPD has been introduced to give further stimulus to teacher evolution and professional development.

International Collaborations and Linkages : The college has strengthened these through programs like a project with Fondazione ISTUD Business School, Stresa-Baveno, Italy on Y-ers ready for work around the world in which 8 other International Universities participated to create a databse for students looking for global jobs. Our linkages with University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia have resulted in signing a Letter of Intent with them for Erasmus +, a major initiative in internationalization of Higher Education in the European Union countries in which our college will be a partner. The project will constitute faculty and students exchange and will become active from Spring 2017. Besides, a senior member of our teaching staff is a guest faculty with them and has done 14 sessions at their University in the summer of 2015, which was her second series with the University. She has also been nominated on the Scientific Committee of 3 International conferences in Europe, 2 in the last 4 years and 1 in the summer of 2017. She is also nominated to the Editorial Board of an international e-journal called Multilingualism published by De Gruyter, University of Warsaw. All of this is in addition to our already existing collaboration with Assumption University for a twinning MBA programme, the British Council and University of Cambridge for the Business English Certificate programme and

teacher trainings, and our ongoing association with 4 European Universities for the ICT Virtual learning Project CCBC. Advances in ICT andComputerization, Technology &Automation : The college strengthened its use of technology through several new additions in the last 4 years, two digital podiums with state of the art technology, 40 Smart boards, LCDs in all classrooms that don’t have Smart boards, transfer of old hard data on students to digital data, computerised office, examination functions, library management, accounting, admissions, etc. There has been a substantial increase in the number of computers, laptops, Broadband and Lease connections resulting in a wi-fi campus. ICT is intensively used by teachers of all departments, for purposes other than presentations, details of which are given in the report. A big asset here is the availability of Internet in the classroom which makes live streaming and ready access to web resources possible in the teaching classroom. BSSS Rhythm : A recording and broadcasting studio with state of the art technology has been set up to provide a forum to students and staff for learning, information and entertainment. This can be accessed through an app as well as through the college website. Guest Lectures &Experts : To deepen student understanding and exposure in their chosen areas of study as well as to extend the curriculum and co-relate classroom learning to real life situations, a large number of Guest lecturers and experts from industry and field are invited by all departments. This year the college has 191 Guest faculty on its rolls for degree courses as well as Certificate courses. For Certificate courses it is our policy to have a minimum of 40% sessions conducted by experts so that we can strengthen the practical and skill-based element in the courses. This has reaped immense benefits.

Alumni Contributions : The BSSS alumni contributions span many areas. From participating actively in our academic bodies like IQAC, Academic Council and Board of Studies, to sponsoring prizes for academic excellence as well as extra-curricular activities. However, two major contributions that stand out in the last four years are contributions through the Alumni Resource Pool and conceptualization and execution of a distinctive course in global readiness and developing a worldview called Succeeding in a Globally Connected Economy. Through the Resource Pool numerous expert and interaction sessions were held for students, specially of the VI Semester of different streams, conducted by highly placed Alumni members serving as Inspector General of Police Special Armed Force, Government of Madhya Pradesh, ED and Group Head of Strategy of AMEAA at Serco Group, Partner at KPMG, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD&CEO) of Max Bupa Health Insurance, CFO British Airways, South Asia and Pacific region, Entrepreneurs, Facilitators and Coaches of international stature, Communication professionals, Vice President, Reliance Retail, MP and

Chhattisgarh to name a few. The course on global readiness, which has an extremely contemporary and relevant content, is major alumni initiative. For this course alumni of international standing and repute have made special efforts to come down all the way to Bhopal on weekends for sessions with the students enrolled for the program.

College Publications : The number of in house publications has now gone up with the publication of the college newsletter Campus Pulse, a bi-annual publication along with several new departmental publications like the Literary Newsletter Milestones , The Budding Economist etc.

Academic and Co-Academic Events : This area has seen a significant rise, BSSS hosted as many as 20 conferences and workshops out of which 14 were UGC sponsored and 6 were financed by the college. In the area of co- academic events, all departments actively organize events on a regular basis. A distinctive feature of these programmes is the pro-active role of students in these events, where the staff members play the role of guides and allow students to take the initiative from concept, to planning and execution. This is done deliberately to train students in leadership, organizational abilities, team- work, consensus building, decision making, time management as well as to develop their inter-personal skills. Some of the major co-academic events are simulations of product launching / brand building, promotion of Travel & Tourism, Literary events, observation of UNO declared days, through which students get an opportunity to apply classroom learning to real situations.

Placements : An important indicator of the success of an institution is its campus placements, though this is less applicable to UG students as most of them wish to pursue Post Graduate studies before entering the job market. Yet we see an increasing number of students keen to get some job experience before making the choice of subjects for their specialisation. Since mid 2015 the Placement Cell has been restructured to network with global and national companies to facilitate campus placements in the college. The Cell activities include soft-skills training and preparation of students for the recruitment process, inviting companies from all sectors to visit the campus for recruitment drives and campus placements. In the last one and a half years students have taken part in 21 Recruitment Drives, in addition to walk-ins & open campuses in other colleges. About 9 companies including TCS, ASPL, ICICI Prudential, Linkruit, Xeeva INC. Ripples Advisory Pvt Ltd. have visited the campus and 242 students have got placed in top companies of the country. All of these measures and practices have helped strengthen the academic landscape of BSSS. Strengthening of Feedback Mechanism : Feedback mechanism of the college has been further strengthened in the past four years by taking in more areas of functioning of the college. The Feedback Review Committee organizes and monitors the process. The Vice Principal takes care of teacher feedbacks on

account of the confidentiality associated with the process. Structured questionnaires are prepared based on the parameters suggested by NAAC. The range covered is as follows:

• Departmental orientation • Guest lectures • Curriculum • Infrastructure • Library usage • Governance & leadership • Learning outcomes • Student support system • Teaching & learning • Opportunities for growth & development • Admission process & procedure followed by college – parents & students • College orientation program post admissions students • Need assessment to introduce new courses

The students are chosen from every stream to respond to the questionnaires. To ensure fair results a team of professionally trained people from the office take care of the analysis and interpretation which is then shared by the Principal with teachers and the concerned persons. The findings are also reviewed by various decision making forums like (BOS, Academic Council, Executive Council, IQAC, Governing Body) and appropriate measures are taken to improve overall quality. Infrastructural Development : The college has seen unprecedented development in physical infrastructure in the last four years which includes a sports-complex cum auditorium, addition of 23 classrooms and halls, 3 new computer labs, Research cell, student lounge, alumni room, staff rooms etc. several rooms have been renovated to create Chairman’s room, parlour, new offices etc. Parking spaces and reception areas have been expanded and adequately furnished. The hostel has been expanded to accommodate more students. HR Enhancements : This has happened through increase in personnel for administration, teaching, office work, class IV employees, estate management staff for better functioning of the college and improvement in quality of education and administration. Enhancement in salaries and other monetary benefits to all employees has lead to more motivation and higher levels of job-satisfaction.

Changes in contracts of employment including performance based emoluments and promotions have been geared to enhance sense of responsibility and accountability.

Substantial Improvement in Communications Tools : Acknowledging the power of communication as a tool for quality enhancement, the college made several improvements in this area.

• The web is now used for almost all important communications on matters of academics, administration including admissions, teaching plans and schedules, CCEs, semester examinations, academic and departmental calendars, teacher information, access to attendance, co-curricular and extra-curricular activity timelines and plans, as well as present and upcoming events. • Regular communication of the management with the teaching staff through weekly meetings, SMS group messaging and email. Daily prayer meeting of Office Staff followed by briefing and updates with the Principal and Vice principal. A similar practice is followed in the Examination Cell. • Monthly student interactions with the Principal on Wednesdays. This is organized in turns in the auditorium so that he gets to meet the first year, second year and final year students once a month. These events facilitate easy and ready communication both ways, where the Principal can disseminate important information and the students are free to express their views, register complaints and discuss issues that are important to them. • E mailing is used frequently for communication within the department, between the departments as well as by Committee, Club and event in- charges to contact colleagues and disseminate important information like plans, decisions etc. • Class Counsellors are strictly advised to maintain regular contact with their students and if necessary with their parents to ensure compliance to rules and requirements as well as to guide and support the students wherever needed. IQAC : The IQAC at BSSS is a pioneering body to many of the programs run at the college. The IQAC was set up in the college as early as August 2006 at the Bhopal School of Social Sciences, duly constituted in accordance with NAAC stipulated guidelines. It assists and advises the Principal to closely monitor and administer quality assurance and quality enhancement activities keeping in view the academic and administrative issues. It is an important forum for initiating quality enhancement by the application of regular intervention strategies. The IQAC applies several strategic measures to evaluate the functioning and performances of various departments. This is taken care of by

Self-Study Report 2016 Page 321

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences

regular in-house meetings where the departments are required to present an overview of their teaching-learning methodologies and assessment modes. The IQAC at BSSS takes initiative to conduct several Workshops and Seminars and also guides the departments to adopt activities/programs that give a wider perspective of their area of study and research. Feedback mechanism, as well as internal audits of the college are organized by the IQAC. The IQAC also ensures that the college faculty is assessed and evaluated through student-feedback mechanism. It also motivates the departments to expand their linkages. An annual plan is made for each department and presented at the meeting. All members of the cell make suggestions for up-gradation of annual departmental plan. Periodic feedback is given to the IQAC and further suggestions taken. Feedback of departmental meetings is shared with IQAC members. At the examination level, the IQAC ensures that emphasis is laid on increased selection of experts and examiners from leading Universities across the state and country for impartial assessment and paper setting. Another initiative was the Continuous Professional Development where the teachers are required to prepare a short/long term plan for their academic and professional growth and the IQAC takes a regular update on the same. The IQAC at BSSS is a pivotal body as regards plans for the student development at college and beyond. Another major initiative in this year has been the setting up of the Students Quality Assurance Cell (SQAC) consisting of students nominated by Heads of Departments from various streams, to serve as representatives of the college and voice their opinions and suggestions which can be used to improve the quality of learning and student life in the college.
