Annual Report 2016-17 From the Chancellor’s Desk Dr. P. D. Patil An important objective of the Vidyapeeth is to establish and extensive global knowledge network in order to facilitate the attaining of excellence in its teaching and research programmes. In the case of higher education, internationalization is manifested in many ways including student and faculty mobility, institutional collaboration in developing of curricula, teaching and research and the delivery of educational programmes across national borders. It was accepted that internationalization did offer some benefits in the form of increased access to advanced programmes, addition of an international dimension to curricula and improvement in the quality of education through of example and competition. The higher education needs to be viewed in global perspective. There is a need for global facilitation of higher education. It involves a serious rethinking towards restructuring of higher education to render supreme importance to quality driven innovative, realistic and result oriented teaching –learning practices and research of global standards. There should be greater flexibility in the policy framework to attract international faculty and students. Collaborative researches with international partners will play a major role in strengthening our position on global landscape. Our Universities will have to adopt international outlook and support greater participation of faculty and students in international exchange programmes and other academic events. This in spite of the oft-quoted Vedic exhortation, ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakan’ – ‘the whole world is one family’. The educated class is more receptive to change, but even in their case there is a need to explain the rationale behind internationalization. Research is an essential component of a higher education system to ensure it remains vibrant and is quick to respond to and anticipate changes arising is the contextual conditions One of the input parameters to ascertain progress in research is the quantum of spending on research and development activities. Another important parameter to measure research is the enrolment and award of Ph.D.’s. The number of Ph.D.’ awarded in India has doubled over a period of time. Dr. P. D. Patil Chancellor 1 From the Vice Chancellor’s Desk Dr. P. N. Razdan It is my profound pleasure in presenting to you the Eleventh Annual Report of the Dr. D. Y. PatilVidyapeeth, Pune (DPU) for the year 2016-2017. The present report covers administrative, academic, and co-curricular activities of the University and its constituent colleges/Institutions from 1stJune 2016 to 31stMay 2017. Today, man feels proud that he has mastered many branches of knowledge and studied a number of texts. But he does not try to understand the essence of education. Nowadays, learning is limited only to physical and worldly aspects, and moral, ethical and spiritual aspects are left out. Furthermore, some say knowledge is the most valuable acquisition, but character is more valuable than knowledge. One may be a learned scholar or hold high positions of authority, or may be very wealthy or an eminent scientist but if one has no character, all the other attainments are of no use at all. Sacrifice, love, compassion and forbearance are the sterling human qualities that one should foster. We have often heard that Education makes a man. In today’s fast-paced world, where everything is changing at a rapid pace, it is important that change be brought in the education system also. We at Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, believe that instead of being localized, the education should be globalized. Global education is a viewpoint that has risen from the fact that modern people live and interact in an increasingly globalised world. It not only provides an opportunity but also enables the students to reflect and share their point of view and role within a global, interconnected society. Global education is something that opens people’s eyes and minds to the realities of the globalised world and awakens them to bring about a world of greater justice, equity, and Human Rights for all. We provide a global platform to our students, where collaboration with international counterparts is done along with interactions with internationally acclaimed guests so that the students passing out from the University have a global vision to their knowledge. Emerging trends in technical and professional education call for value addition, which means that students must acquire something more than what is provided in the curriculum. There is need to enhance their communication skills, to develop professional ethics in them and to help them learn and develop human values and concern for humanity. The constituent colleges/institutions of the University have dedicated mentors and state-of-the-art infrastructure with well-stocked libraries and well equipped laboratories. The programmes being offered by the university are developed in consultation with experts from respective fields. The University encourages its teachers and students to undertake innovative and relevant research to spread value-added knowledge. In recognition to our effort to enhance the quality ambience, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has re-accredited DPU with a CGPA of 3.62 on a four point scale at ‘A’ Grade during the year under report. I wish you all a successful year filled with achievements, professional fulfillment, and growth as we rise to meet new challenges and opportunities for our University. Dr. P. N. Razdan Vice Chancellor 2 Vision 2025 To develop a knowledge centre which will be recognised for its academic pursue not only in India but also globally . Objectives 1.

Student, Civil Department, VIIT, Pune, India ABSTRACT Mula-Mutha River in pune (India) is one of the most vulnerable water bodies to pollution because of their role in carrying municipal and industrial wastes and run-offs from agricultural lands in their vast drainage basins. Despite of the various standards and laws made by government many industries were discharging their waste directly into the river making its quality poor day by day. The restoration of river water quality has been a major challenge to the environmental managers. Detailed research and analysis is needed to evaluate different process and mechanism involved in polluting water. The aim of the work under the title is to analyze the river by dividing it into various sampling station. The present study also identifies the critical pollutants affecting the river water quality during its course through the city. The indices have been computed for pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon season at four locations, Khadakwasla , Sangamwadi, Vithalwadi &Bund Garden. It was found that the water quality ranged from satisfactory to marginal category at Khadakwasla and fell under very poor category at all other locations. This research have a vast future scope as the rapid industrialization results in formation of toxic contaminants leading to enormous damages to environment directly putting the lives at risk.

    © 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WATER QUALITY OF MAJOR RIVERS OF PUNE FOR THREE DIFFERENT SEASONS MVS Vaishnavi Department of Chemistry, JJT University, Rajasthan, India. Shelly Gupta P G Moze College of Engineering, Pune, India. ABSTRACT:-Mula, Mutha and Pavana are the three major rivers of Pune on which the city mainly survives. In view of this, maintenance of quality of these waters is imperative and hence needs regular auditing. Present report is an investigation into the water quality of these river waters carried out at different locations during all three seasons in the year 2015 taking into consideration 18 physico-chemical parameters. Water samples were collected from nine different locations covering all the three rivers. The combined effect of various physico-chemical parameters is studied through calculation of Water Quality index for all these samples. Water quality of Khadakwasla was found to be good whereas for majority of the locations it is medium irrespective of the season in which it is studied, which is in agreement with the previous studies. At Yerwada and Aundh the water samples showed bad quality during all the seasons irrespective of the seasonal variations which speaks about the high pollution levels at these locations. It has been concluded from this work that seasonal variation does have an impact on water Quality Index (WQI) and serves as an indicator for the pollution levels in the waters of Pune. Key words: water quality index,summer,monsoon,winter,Mula,Mutha, Pavana, water parametres INTRODUCTION : Mula, Mutha and Pavana are the main sources of water for the populations in and around Pune.

    J. Ecophysiol. Occup. Hlth. 11 (2011) 81-90 ©2011 The Academy of Environmental Biology, India Pollution status of river Mula (Pune city) Maharashtra, India A.D.Kshirsagar and V.R. Gunale Department of Botany, University of Pune, Pune – 411 007, (MS, India). Abstract : Present work deals with the seasonal variations in physico-chemical parameters of river Mula at Pune city. Water samples were collected monthly from selected sampling stations (Station I- Wakad; II- Aundh and III- Dapodi) in winter, summer and monsoon seasons during October 2007 to September 2008. The analysis was carried out for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), free carbon dioxide (free CO2), total alkalinity, total hardness, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chloride, nitrate and phosphate. It was observed that, temperature, chloride, BOD, COD, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate and phosphate content was high during summer than winter and less during monsoon seasons. Whereas, the DO content decreased in the summer and increased in the winter followed by monsoon seasons. The quality of water at station II and station III were high in term of nutrient loads, due to influent domestic wastewater. These results suggest that the water quality of river Mula is adversely affected and impaired by the discharge of domestic waste. Key Words: Mula river, Physico-chemical parameters, Water pollution. Introduction Numerous researchers have studied the physico-chemical parameters of various river According to the United Nation’s World Water water in the India. It has been found that the Development Report (2003), 70% of the earth’s water quality of the river lying in the vicinities of surface is covered by water; of which only 2.5% urban areas is heavily polluted due to industrial of water is fresh and only 0.3% water is and domestic wastes.
