1.1 INTRODUCTION
Visarwadi is highly populated by the tribal community in the Navapur tehsil of Nandurbar district (Maharashtra). The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of higher education in neighbourhood communities around the Visarwadi was almost nil during the decade of 1950-1980. The issue of low GER of education was taken very seriously by the then rising youth tribal leader Hon’ble Shri Manikrao Gavit. He decided to promote the education in tribal hamlets, which undermined the concept of education societies and founded Visarwadi Education Society, Visrawadi in 1964 and Arts College, Visarwadi in the year 2001.

The Institute has received the first permanent principal in the year 2007 and also completed with 100% recruitment of the permanent staff in 2012 with two teacher recruits from other states.
In the year 2009, the distance education study centre is established with the kind support of YCMOU, Nashik to educate those needy people who are in service and can’t attend the college regularly due to their work or family problems.

Institutional Weakness
Recognized as Low GER district in higher education. No Income Sources : Majority of the families of this region is still living Below Poverty Line (BPL). So, the local community and stakeholders are unable to donate or contribute a single rupee for the development of the institute. Beside this, 99% students belongs to backward communities and they got admission on nil fee/zero basis. (96% college students are ST, 2% OBC and 1% SC) Malnutrition rate is high in Nandurbar district. Sickle Cell disease is very common in the tribal communities of Navapur region. Living standard of the people is very low which affects the moral level of the students. Unavailability of P.G. courses in regular mode. Hostel facility for Boys and Girls students is not available. So, the students of remote areas always dropped their higher education. ICT facilities and e- facility, needs to be updated with the current technology. Smaller Playground and lack of Indore facilities for sports. Insufficient land for further enhancement.
Institutional Opportunity
Looking vigorously towards the infrastructural developmental grants of the UGC, New Delhi and RUSA, as the institute is eligible for central assistance in 2016 as included under Sec. 2 (f) & 12(B) of UGC ACT, 1956.

Institutional Challenge
Since 2016, no advertisement made by the UGC, New Delhi to invite proposal to develop infrastructural facilities in colleges. No grants in RUSA projects are available to those institutions which are accredited below CGPA of 2.80 by NAAC. Since 2000, no infrastructural improvement grants released by the Govt. of Maharashtra to the colleges under Grant-in-Aid Scheme. P.G. and further education enrolment ratio is much less due to unavailability of P.G. courses in this tribal area. Unavailability of Boys and Girls Hostel. low living standard and introvert traits are the biggest threat found in tribal student at large . Tribal people of this area are still believes in superstition, apart from this Malnutrition is another major problem of this tribal region.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution
Response:
The institution is located in tribal area and this tribal region is still very backward form development point of view. The students are migrating in other districts for their further higher education like P.G., M.Phil. and Ph.D.
So, it is a big challenge before the institution to establish the communication link with the outgoing students. The institution has entrusted the responsibility to the mentors to take proper follow-up of their outgoing mentees. Similarly, the updates on attainment of COs are also collected from the outgoing students during alumni meets and parent’s meets.
The placement cell and Career counseling cell are also playing a vital role in the attainment of Pos and Cos. Every year, both cells update the personal addresses and contact details of the outgoing graduates.
As per the advice of the NAAC Peer team during 1st cycle, the institute has started to take the follow-up of outgoing students. Since last five years, the institution has produced near around 300 graduates, out of which ten students have qualified the NET/SET and MPSC exam while near around 30% of the students are pursuing further higher education like P.G., B.Ed. and .LL.B., Ph.D., M.Phil. etc. The 20% graduates have been placed in employment in various Govt. and private sectors like education dept., police dept., excise dept., legal practices, private companies, banks, and forest dept. Besides this, 10% students have joined the politics and social fields.
During campus placement and interaction sessions, it has been noticed that tribal students are very shy and still lagging behind in dressing sense and self exposure skills. Institution feels that course should be updated with new chapters on standard of living and modern life style as to rollout the shyness behavior of the students comes from tribal and rural background. In this regard, experimental approaches like export of students from rural to urban culture should be the essential part of the course.

The Facility Management System of the institute is well designed to ensure the durability and maximum use of the available infrastructure resource and facilities. There is a separate ‘Purchase cum Facilities Maintenance Committee’ in the institute to ensure the longevity of infrastructure and facilities by timely maintenance and replacement of parts etc. This committee has classified the maintenance works in four categories i.e. Emergency, routine, preventive and predictive maintenance. The committee also collects regular feedback from the users about the relevance and usefulness of the existing facilities.
The committee conducts audit of building, play grounds, library, store and equipments at the end of every quarter of a calendar year and detail report is submitted to the principal. On the basis of audit , the items has been classified into two categories i.e. preventive measures which requires urgent attention and second is predictive measures like expiry of life and package, renewal of subscription etc.
‘A stitch in time saves nine’, hence, the committee is very conscious about the preventive measures. It always gives priority to the maintenances of equipments and facilities which requires preventive cares. The committee identifies the spots where the preventive measures required.
During last five years, most of the cases are traced in electric sections and various preventive measures has been taken like installation of antivirus and CCTVs, covering of loose contact in the wires and telephone cable, replacement broken switches, removing of carbon over the open switches, removing the dust form keyboard, computers and printers, maintain water balance in batteries and replace of defective parts of the computer, Xerox and printers, CCTV and RO Water plant etc.

In the year 2015, Preserving old book programme is conducted in the library. The sewing of old books with hard cover and cleanliness of dust is done under this programmes.
The committee also identifies the unwanted facilities, material and infrastructures which may become the cause of accident and harmful to the institutional assets. Last year, the branches of trees have been shortened to reduce the risk of accidents. The caging over the boundary wall has been done to ban the entry of unwanted elements. The beehive elimination programme has been conducted regularly in the premise.
The entries of desk stock register and purchase registers are regularly audited by the maintenance committee to spot those equipments and products which are going to expired or out of order very soon.

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership 6.1.1 The governance of the institution is reflective of an effective leadership in tune with the vision and mission of the institution
Response:
The leadership of the institute is very effective and well progressive in attainment of its vision and mission statements i.e. “Creating a culture of excellence in higher education in tribal area”.
The GER (Gross Enrolment Ratio) in education is very low in this tribal region. The MHRD, New Delhi has also declared this tribal region (Navapur taluka - Nandurbar district) as Low GER district from educational angel. The quality initiatives like outer student’s surveys and motivational campaigns to promote the GER in higher education have been carried out in the neighbourhood tribal hamlets to attain the mission statement i.e. “to bring the tribal communities in the main stream of higher education for their all round development”
Apart this, the awareness campaigns for various Govt. schemes like ‘Pradhanmantri Aawas Yojana’ , ‘Swach Bharat Abhiyaan’, ‘Ujjawala Yojana (LPG)’ ‘Jan-Dhan Yojana’, ‘Start-up India’ etc. has been also conducted to uplift the standard of living of the tribal communities.
The unavailability of the Post Graduation courses /P.G. institutes in this tribal region is the biggest challenge before the institution in attaining its mission statement i.e Majority of the families in the neighbourhood communities are still living Below Poverty Line as per the BPL survey of the Govt. of India. Every year, near about 30 per cent of the graduates especially women students have been dropping their further higher education. At this juncture, the parents and guardians have also showed their disability to bear the expenditure at out stations.
Every year, the faculty members adopt some needy students and provide financial help to pursue further higher education at out stations. In the year 2015, the institution has arranged the availability of P.G. courses in the premise in distance mode from YCM Open University, Nashik.
The institution is planning to introduce the Science stream at graduate level form the academic year 2022-2023 and regular P.G. courses from the academic year 2024-2025. In this regard, the process of new land acquisition is under process.

“Create a Quality Learning Culture”
Objectives : The practice is dedicated to create a flexible learning environment to make the students more knowledgeable and practical. The main objective of this practice is to add more quality in teaching- learning by implementing new innovative methods, teaching aids/facilities and organization of extracurricular activities.
The main highlights of this practice are; it scans the hidden areas in the academia which are left out or not covered in regular teaching-learning plan and curriculum. It gives updates about the latest teaching aids/facilities and also inform about the ensuing modifications or revisions in the teaching learning system.
The Context :
The main feature of this practice is that it conducts complete audit on academia. The issue of quality learning culture is the common agenda of the institute and discussed many times in IQAC meetings. But, it was noticed that most of the discussions on learning culture were baseless and have gone waste in the absence of proper vision and explanation. At last, it has been decided that there should be a separate committee i.e. “Action Committee on Quality Learning ” of three teachers which will prepare the master plan for the creation of Quality Learning Culture in the institution. The committee will presents the blue prints of the plan before the IQAC house. The recommendations of the ACQL which was passed by the house are implemented with the help of the concerned committees/departments.
The Practice :
The practice is the combination of various events/programmes like organization of special guest lecture, seminars, introduction of unit test and ICT based learning, development of facilities like wi-fi, and INFLIBNET and encouraging the students and teachers to participate in research activities at out stations. Every event/programme has its vital importance in promoting the quality learning culture.

Problems Encountered and Resource Required :
During organization of any event, the unavailability of the hotel and rest house is the main problem before the institution while arranging the accommodation to the out station guests. The nearest hotel (without food) /accommodation to the outstation guests is available 20km. away, while good hotels (1 & 2 Star) are located 40km. away from the institute. It not only put extra financial burden but also creates inconvenience like hospitality and transportation.

The diseases like sickle cell and malnutrition is common in neighborhood communities.

Hence, the institute can’t deny about the presence of stress factor and low energy level among
Page 84/89 05-02-2019 10:27:08 Self Study Report of SARVAJANIK ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE the tribal students, as most of the students are suffering from sickle cell.
At this juncture, design of blue print becomes the challenge and institute has entrusted the responsibility to Physical Education Department to line up the activities/components to this practice. The practice ensures regular checkup of health and blood, expert guidance, Yoga and exercise sessions, life documentaries show etc.
The Practice :
The institution implements the practice with help of various departments like physical Education, NSS and student welfare etc. The practice is exercised as according to blue prints/calendar prepared by the department of Physical Education. This practice is a set of activities like regular health and blood checkup, expert lecture on issues pertains to health and wellbeing, yoga and physical activity sessions and display of documentaries on health & lifestyle.

Every year, the nutrition management guidance is provided to the students under the guidance of the experts. The experts are requested to learn the basics to make a caloric diet from local grains, pulses, vegetables and fruits which are easily available in the hamlets. Regular lectures of our part time faculty Mrs.Dr.Rupali Bagul who have done Ph.D on health and malnutrtuional rate in tribal areas is also an important part of this practice. Beside this, expert guidance has been provided to the students to cope with the sickle cell disease by taking blood boosting tablets, drink plenty of water, avoid joint movements, sitting on knee etc. The video documentaries are also shown to promote active life style. Since last five years, more than 15 Doctors have visited the institute and delivered awareness lectures on healthe issues. Every year, awareness campaigns about HIV/AIDS and sickle cell has been organized at various public places. The students perform road shows, dramas and rally during this awareness campaign.
The physical activities and yoga sessions are organized at regular intervals. The experts are requested to emphasize on developing the basic skills of jogging, running, starching, exercises, Pranayama, Surayanamskar etc. The sickle cell sufferer needs special care during practice of physical activities as some exercises may harm them.
Evidence of Success:
The students are looking more active form physical and cognitive angle with ample energy to meet the extracurricular activities during off hours. The students have become able to keep away the stress induced from exam/ health. The students have been performing the exercises and yoga practices during their leisure hours which show the healthy sportsman spirit among the students. The students have learned the tricks and tips to cope with the sickle cell disease. The women students are getting aware about the fact that sickle cell women may lose her life
Page 85/89 05-02-2019 10:27:08 Self Study Report of SARVAJANIK ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE
during the pregnancy. The students are getting aware that prevention of the sickle cell disease is possible only through creating awareness among the parents and students to choose the right spouse. The students are now able to arrange balanced diet from local resources and they are also sharing their knowledge and experiences with peers and villagers. Since last two years, the graph of malnutrition has been lower down. The life style of the students has been updated.
Problems Encountered and Resource Required :
There is no particular class assigned in the time table for practicing the physical-yogic activities which is causing the discontinuation of the practice while majority of the students are day scholars who up downs from their villages and are unable to attend evening ground activities. In the time table, there should be a provision of separate class for practicing the physical and yoga activities.
The sickle cell is a communicable genetic disease which may spread from the womb of the mother. If a sickle cell boys marries with a non sickle cell girl, then there will be equal chance (50%) that she will give birth to a baby with sickle cell or without sickle cell. Now the medical science is very advanced and able to draw conclusion at very early stage by taking blood sample of the baby in the womb. But, this facility is prohibited by the law and may be permissible in some rare cases.
At this juncture, this solution should be brought into the notice of the Govt. and choice should be given in the laws to the sickle cell sufferers to retain the birth or not.
