Sevadal Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur was established in 1992 under the former Presidentship of Shri Keshaoraoji Shende for the noble mission of imparting knowledge to girls. The institution has keeping steady progress under present Presidentship of Shri Sanjayji Shende. The management has been keen and meticulous not only creating infrastructural facilities but also in expanding the academic activities of the institution to a great extent in the field of Science, Home Science and Social Science. Sevadal College was assessed and accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore and awarded Grade B++ on 8th January, 2004. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established on the recommendations of the Peer Team for enhancing the quality of academics in the college. On 27-29 August, 2010, the college was assessed and reaccredited for its second cycle by NAAC, Bangalore. NAAC awarded ‘A’ Grade to the college with 3.01 CGPA on 8th January, 2011. The college offers basic programmes with wide academic flexibility. The college has been recognized as Centre for Higher Learning and Research in Microbiology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Zoology by Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur. All the programmes are directed towards realization of our Mission and achieving our objectives, in keeping with the values of Sevadal Shikshan Sanstha, as propounded by its founders. The Peer Team Reports of first and second cycles allowed the college to introspect and improve on quality parameters. A more functional IQAC with defined roles and responsibilities was a major initiative taken by the college. More teachers were involved in preparing the SSR along with the IQAC. Introspections and discussions amongst teachers have helped in preparing a precise Self Study Report (SSR). Resource mobilization from UGC under college development and research grants has taken up as a major strategy to improve the infrastructure, augment library facility, teaching- learning facilities, introduction of PG diploma courses and Career Oriented Programmes and construction of girl’s hostel. A language laboratory has been set up for enhancing communication skills and is being utilized by department of English. IT infrastructure is being continually improved with LCD projectors in class rooms, Internet connectivity in the library and departments. Sevadal Shikshan Sanstha’s Sevadal Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur 2 SELF STUDY REPORT: NAAC - 3RD CYCLE Writing Self Study Report (SSR) I express my deep sense of gratitude to the Founder President of Sevadal Shikshan Sanstha Shri Keshaoraoji Shende who always been a source of inspiration for all of us. I am also thankful to president of Sevadal Shikshan Sanstha Shri Sanjayji Shende of his undaunted support in all the endeavors of the college. I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to each and every individual colleague for their valuable contribution in preparing the SSR. It is unfeasible to complete this SSR without receiving whole-hearted cooperation and fruitful interaction with all the members of the Sevadal family. The first name comes to mind is Dr. Anil Mohite, NAAC Steering Committee and IQAC Coordinator who monitored the various requirements during the preparation of SSR, through his able leadership in the college. I would like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the NAAC Criterion Coordinators, namely, Dr. (Mrs.) Manjusha Patil, Dr. Sanjay Pal, Dr. (Mrs.) Nirupama Dhoble, Mrs. Seema Nimbarte, Dr. Rajesh Gadewar, Mr. Raghoba Nagpure and Dr. (Mrs.) Priya Chahande. I further endorse the valuable support that has been rendered from Faculty In-charge, Steering Committee Members, Head of the Departments and faculty members specifically, Dr. (Mrs.) Anjali Mahakalkar, Mr. Pravin Deshpande, Dr. Vinod Dongre, Dr. Sopandeo Pise and Dr. Ashish Lambat. Mr. Dilip Koche, office superintendent and other office staff have responded well in providing the data to steering committee. Last but not least without the support from computer operator Mr. Shailesh Bhure it would not have been possible to complete this gigantic task. I am too keen to meet the Peer Team of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council during their forthcoming visit to our institution. When such a splendid occasion arrives, all faculty members, support staff, student and all stakeholders would be substantially benefited and vastly enriched with Peer Team Interactions. I wish all is well with this Self-Study Report and look forward to receive the Peer Team at our Institution.
