PROFILE OF THE INSTITUTION
Byadgi Education Society‘s Merchants‘ Arts and Commerce College, Byadgi is one of the premier educational institutions in Haveri District. Byadgi is a taluka head quarter in the present Haveri District. Byadgi has been very famous for Red Chilly. The vast and extensive market yard is famous as the second largest Red Chilly dealing market in the country. Byadgi was once even known as a famous market centre of garlic, areca nut, turmeric and jaggery. With all this Florentine background, Byadgi has been identified as a big commercial point in the country as well as surrounding areas.
In spite of the above listed points of eminence, this town was suffering from educational backwardness. The young men of this area who were desirous of higher education had to move to the distant cities like Hubli and Dharwad. The enthusiastic young members of the then Lions‘ Club of Byadgi decided to provide the town with a shining seat of learning and develop it into an eminent centre of education. Therefore, they started Byadgi Education Society under the presidentship of Shri S. D. Shirur. Thus came into being, the Byadgi Education Society on 13-10-1981. In its beginning days its governing body consisted of the following members, Shri S. D. Shirur, Sri M.N. Patil, Dr. S.N. Nidagundi, Shri S.R. Patil, Shri S.G. Kambli, Shri S.B. Patil, Shri K.B. Shindhe, Shri T.R. Jain, Shri M.C. Joshi, Shri A.N. Jain and Shri N.S. Mudvi.
Knowing the importance of primary education before starting the college, an institute of higher learning, our esteemed society made its debut in the field of education with the founding of a pre- primary and a primary school in 1981 and 1982 respectively.
Later to cater to the needs of the locale in general and of the female aspirants of higher education in particular our society came forward with a degree college, with Arts and Commerce faculties, in August 1984. Knowing the need for a good High School in the town to provide quality education our society came forward with a High School too in 1992. With an in flinching co-operation of Shri Gajanana Urban Co-Operative Bank, Byadgi and the Merchants‘ Association Byadgi, ever since its inception, Byadgi Education Society is putting strenuous efforts to cause the furtherance of education and also to convent the locality into an acclaimed seat of education. The society has already provided the full fledged and independent building with all the facilities like teaching aids and furniture etc,. to its institutions namely the Pre-Primary , the High School and the Degree college. Thus Byadgi Education Society is parading fast in catering to the needs of the people in the area. The present Governing Body of the Society is as follows.

With an intention to make higher education available to the people of Byadgi and especially to free the aspirants of higher education from the tension and burden of going to the distant cities, the Byadgi Education Society forwarded a proposal of starting a degree college in Byadgi to Karnatak University Dharwad in 1983. With the unrefraining efforts of Shri B.G. Patil, Shri C.M. Udasi and Shri K.S. Bilagi, the then M.L.A.‘s Byadgi Education Society became successful in getting the permission from the Government of Karnataka as well as Karnatak University Dharwad to start a degree college in Byadgi.
Prof. T. F. Murashillin, an eminent professor retired from K.L.E. Society‘s S.M.S. College Athani, was appointed the Principal of the college on 01-08-1984. He laid a strong foundation to the budding institution. As he was an able administrator and a seasoned teacher himself, he spared no effort to earn reputation to this institution while motivating constantly the team of young teachers in developing their academic personalities. Further, on his retirement Prof. V. S. Benchalli was appointed the Principal of the college from 13-04-1989. He has been steering the institution towards the progress with the co-operation and support of dedicated and committed teaching and non-teaching staff in the college.

Delivery of knowledge is made through various approaches, other than the traditional methods. Students‘ community is sensitized towards various socio-economic and environmental issues. They are made employable through the activities of the placement cell. Development in total personality of the students is achieved through workshops, seminars, conferences, debates, quizzes, group discussions, hands on training programs, field visits, educational and industrial tours etc. These approaches of teaching create a socially responsible, self confident younger generation. The effectiveness of Teaching and Learning are assessed through evaluation process. There are various methods of evaluation process. Formative and summative methods of evaluation are adopted in this regard. These processes are students centric and are practiced in a fair and transparent manner. Evaluation also discriminates slow and advanced learners. Slow and advanced learners are handled accordingly to make them knowledgeable. The effectiveness of Teaching, Learning and Evaluation process is assessed by taking the feedback from the students which helps in designing the future strategies to fulfill the needs of the students.

7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
Best Practices
1. Title of the Best Practice:
A. Cash Prize Award
The institution has the Best Practice of awarding the students who score the highest marks in each subject in the university semester examination and the students who show the best performance in sports activities and the best user of the library by giving those Cash Prizes. The teaching, non teaching staff members, alumni and even some of the members of managing committee have instituted Cash Prizes. It was started from the academic year 2005-2006.
2. Goal:
The development of a nation depends on the younger generation who are physically and intellectually very strong. Such youth are prepared in the schools and colleges. But sometimes, some students are intellectually very strong but are unable to come forward in society due to their economic backwardness.
Self-Study Report for 3rd Cycle.______161
______B.E.S. Merchants’ Arts & Commerce College, Byadgi-581106. Karnatak
Most of the students who get admission in our college are from rural background and economically backward. But they are very talented, studious and sincere. But due to their economic backwardness they are unable to continue their studies. Hence, in order to encourage and help such students to continue their education our college decided to provide them financial assistance through Cash Prize. The intention behind this is to motivate the students to study well and score more marks and to encourage them to participate in sports and cultural activities.
3. The Context:
Our college is situated in the taluka head quarter. The Byadgi taluk is socially and economically the most backward area in Haveri district. The students who were getting admission in the college were from the rural backward classes and tribes. There was a high dropout rate and most of the students use to discontinue their education and were unable to pursue the higher education due to their poverty.
In the staff meeting with the Principal the problem of dropout was discussed. The staff members told that the economic backwardness was the main reason for the students to discontinue their education. Hence, the Principal suggested that such students could be supported by providing financial help. So the teaching staff members decided to award Cash Prizes to the students who are meritorious but poor. Later the non teaching and library staff members also joined their hands. Afterwards the alumni and some members of the managing committee also joined the program.
4. The Practice:
One of the staff members Prof. S.D. Balaji Rao who has been nominated as the coordinator is given the responsibility of collecting the cash from all the donors every year and to maintain the accounts and records. Every year on the annual day the Cash Prizes will be awarded to the students.
5. Evidence of success:
After the introduction of Cash Prize the dropout rate is reduced in recent years. Many poor but meritorious students who have received Cash Prizes have pursued higher education and are settled with good jobs.
It is come to our notice that the students have been studious and scoring highest marks. Even some students are scoring cent percent marks in certain subjects. There is a healthy competition among the students to bag the Cash Prizes by scoring maximum marks in their subjects.

6. Problems Encountered and Resource Required
So far no problems are faced in carrying out this practice and in collecting the amount from the donors to award Cash Prizes to the students. The donors voluntarily come forward to contribute their share of amount. Even some staff members have motivated the public and alumni to constitute Cash Prizes. Some people who are inspired by the system have deposited certain amount as fixed deposit in the bank and the interest is used to award the Cash Prize.
In the beginning the amount of the Cash Prize given by each staff member was nominal. Further, it was increased by them on their own. In the coming days it is thought to increase the number of donors and the amount of Cash Prize and to award the students with Cash Prizes who excel themselves in cultural activities also.
7. Notes (Optional):
The Best Practice of awarding Cash Prize started in the institution in the year 2005-2006. The following is the statement showing the amount disbursed.
Sl. Year Amount No of No (in Rs.) Beneficiaries 01 2005-06 4,755/- 08 02 2006-07 9,616/- 25 03 2007-08 9,313/- 31 08 2008-09 7,764/- 18 09 2009-10 13,116/- 33 10 2010-11 14,872/- 32 11 2011-12 17,881/- 41 12 2012-13 18,119/- 46 13 2013-14 18,100/- 43 14 2014-15 18,848/- 44

1. Title of the Best Practice:
B. Teacher Exchange and Students Exchange Program
The institution aims to promote the overall development of students, most of whom, are from rural or tribal background. To cater to the needs of such students the institution has adopted the Student- Exchange and Teacher-Exchange Programs where through the teachers of our college are sent to the neighboring colleges and the teachers of the neighboring college are invited to deliver special guest lecture, with whom our college has entered in to an MOU and likewise students from those college come to our college. And even our students are sent to the other college.
2. Goal:
Apart from usual lecture method a special Teacher-Exchange and Student-Exchange program is introduced in the institution for both teachers and students. This helps the students in exchanging their views and in indulging in effective interaction free from inhibitions. It also helps our teachers to widen their knowledge and update and excel themselves in teaching.
3. The Context:
With an intention of making use of the talent and skill in teaching of the best teachers of both the institutions and to provide an opportunity to the student to share their views and ideas with the students of the other institution we have begun this new program. So the institution has entered into an MOU with M.A.S.C. College, Haunsbhavi.
4. The Practice;
In each semester on receipt of invitation our teachers visit the neighboring college and deliver lecture on particular topic in the usual class without hindering the other classes. Likewise the teachers of the neighboring college visit our college when invited and deliver lecturers on a particular topic. Some selected students of Final Year B.A/B.Com are sent to the neighboring college to attend the classes and vis-à-vis.
5. Evidence of Success:
For the last four years this program has been in practice. This innovative Best Practice has helped our teachers and students in widening their knowledge and improve their skills. The teachers have been motivated and inspired to teach efficiently. The students are also inspired and motivated and are benefited by the efficient teachers. There has been a considerable increase in the strength of the students and even the students of neighboring towns are getting admission in our college. It is because of the innovative practice we have introduced in our college like Teacher-Exchange and student-Exchange program. Self-Study Report for 3rd Cycle.______164

6. Problems Encountered and Resource Required
So far no problems are encountered in implementing this program. The teachers are showing more and more enthusiasm in teaching in the other college. Even the students are eager to attend the classes in a different place and atmosphere. Hence, both the teachers and students are participating in the program.
As the neighboring college is very near the teachers and students who are involved in this activity bear their travelling expense. The host college bears the expenses of hospitality.
7. Notes (Optional)
Initially the program was started by Prof. D.L. Ekbote and Dr. C.S. Yatnalli of M.A.S.C. College, Haunsbhavi and Prof. V.S. Benchalli Principal of our institution took the initiation. Now the program has been very successful. Hence, the other neighboring colleges are interested in entering in to an MOU with us for implementing this program in their colleges also.
