ANNEXURE I Best Practices II 1. Title of the Practice: Knowledge Exchange Programme (KEP) 2. Goal: “Knowledge sans Boundaries” is the Motto of KEP. This is an institutional innovative initiative which aims at the dissemination of ‘exclusive’ knowledge of a discipline to other disciplines. The programme is conducted with a view to create awareness among students, of the developments, discoveries and inventions in a particular subject in a purely scholarly interactive way. It also provides opportunities for advanced learners to exhibit their prowess in the area under discussion. Further, students are given a platform to improve their presentation and interaction skills. 3. The Context: Knowledge is created and revealed in all disciplines across the world. It is inevitable that a conscientious student should be aware of new happenings and initiatives in all branches of learning. Too much specialization has caused barriers to knowledge of great relevance across disciplines. Students have become confined in their disciplines of specialization. They turn a cold shoulder to other fields of knowledge, which in turn makes them unresponsive to what happens beyond their area of study. Students of science disciplines never take interest in the developments in social sciences, and vice versa. Unfortunately this widens the gap between the two cultures (Science and Humanities), as C. P. Snow has enunciated in his Rede lecture. If knowledge of public interest is imparted and discussed in an open forum by students who specialize in that particular area, especially for those who are not within the fold of that discipline, it will be immensely beneficial. KEPs are always presented after the regular class hours. 4. The Practice: A development/discovery/invention in the area of a particular discipline, which may find a place in the timeline of milestones or important happenings of that particular field of knowledge, is identified as the topic for KEP. The topic, date and venue of the KEP are announced and published in the notice board beforehand. A group of students under the guidance of a teacher prepare the presentation. Care is taken to make the presentation scholarly and at the same time palatable to all students. The
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 46 presentation is often done using PowerPoint with video and audio clips. Time for topic delivery is limited to half an hour in order to provide more time for interactions. When the central government declared Demonetisation, the students of the Department of Economics presented a KEP for the students of Science Disciplines. It was a vibrant programme in which teachers of other disciplines and non-teaching staff also participated. The presentation was an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of Demonetisation, its impact on Indian economy, comparison with similar experiments in economy etc. This helped gain a true knowledge on the topic, especially at a time when lots of misconceptions were being spread by the social media and channel discussions. 5. Evidence of Success: All the KEPs have been of great interest to the students. Often they come forward to suggest topics on which they needed to be enlightened. Some of the KEPs conducted as per the suggestions of the students are ‘Budget 2016’ by the Dept. of Commerce and ‘Skill India’ by the Dept. of Economics. Students who made the presentation were highly enthusiastic to prove their mettle in front of their peers. They enjoyed the accolades they received. The success of KEPs lies in their immediate relevance and public interest. Students highly appreciate them as they are not in the frame work of rigid pedagogical seminars or invited lectures. KEPs are flexible and accommodate topics and beneficiaries across disciplines. KEPs are student centred and make use of modern gadgets for presentation. Students make animated videos and video calls for on- the-spot responses from experts. KEPs bring the campus together as students, teachers and non-teaching staff participate in them. Moreover, students get opportunity to develop their presentation skills. Active Student participation in the interactions is also commendable. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: The only problem identified in the practice is the constraints of time between the identification of the topic and presentation of the same. There will not be much time for preparation. The immediacy of the topics demands hectic preparation on the part of the students. As the topics presented under KEP are of immediate relevance, they are to be served hot from the oven before they become cold and stale.
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 47
Only human resource and infrastructure are needed to implement and institutionalise the practice. 7. Notes KEP is highly accommodative as a Best Practice as it requires no financial assistance. It caters to the whole campus community. It can be a real boost to the advanced students. 8.Contact Details: Name of the Principal : Dr Anitha Sankar C Name of the Institution : Sree Narayana College, Nattika City : Thrissur Pin Code : 680 566 Accredited Status : B (Cycle II) Work Phone : 0487 2391246 Fax : 0487 2391246 Website : www.sncollegenattika.org E-mail : [email protected] Mobile : 94 47 00 33 99

BEST PRACTICE - II
1.Title of the Practice: Sree Narayana Study Centre
2. Goal: Education is Attainment of Knowledge based on moral values. Sree Narayana Study Centre works on this principle. It was Sree Narayana Guru’s vision on education as the most potent instrument of socio-economic progress, political development, and moral and intellectual awakening that led to the founding of this institution. The goal of Sree Narayana Study Centre is to impart value education to the students along with their syllabi-oriented education. 3. The Context: Knowledge is power. But without moral values knowledge becomes just information. Imbibing the spirit of the vedic statement sa vidya ya vimuchyate, Guru raised the motto “Seek Freedom and Enlightenment through Education”. It enshrines academic excellence, development of life skills, and character formation based on scientific temper and human values. The Sree Narayana Study Centre aims at achieving the lofty ideals of Sree Narayana Guru who professed the wellbeing of all through education, without ant discrimination on the basis if caste, creed, or religion. 4. The Practice: Students often need to be reminded of the great acharyas who have been instrumental in the development of India. The explosion in the field of technology has made them evade the principles like tolerance, empathy, fellow feeling, caring and sharing. They place utilitarianism above everything else. The centre tries to teach them that education which does not mould character is absolutely worthless. Sree Narayana Study Centre conducts a series of classes on the teachings of Sree Narayana Guru and other acharyas like him. Students of our institution are bound to know the hard work and commitment that led to the founding of their institution. A booklet on the contributions of Sree Narayana Guru in the modernisation of Kerala Society is distributed to all freshers. A documentary on the Renaissance leaders in Kerala is also exhibited for them. 5. Evidence of Success: Students of this age are generally not aware of the great leaders and their contributions in the development of our great nation. They take the progress and the facilities it brought in, for
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 49 granted. However they are ready to be led in the right direction. They show great enthusiasm in learning about the great sages and leaders of our nation. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: The only problem identified in the practice is financial. In order to arrange lectures by veterans in the field who have come to the institution from faraway places is expensive. Apart from this, only human resource and infrastructure are needed to implement and institutionalise the practice. 7. Notes This practice is the need of the hour as it gives the students a sense of responsibility. There is no point in bringing out thousands of graduates and postgraduates without any moral and humanitarian values. Moral values cater to the wellness of the whole society. 8.Contact Details: Name of the Principal : Dr Anitha Sankar C Name of the Institution : Sree Narayana College, Nattika City : Thrissur Pin Code 680 566 Accredited Status : B (Cycle II) Work Phone : 0487 2391246 Fax : 0487 2391246 Website : www.sncollegenattika.org E-mail : [email protected] Mobile : 94 47 00 33 99
