Best –Practice-I

Title of the Practice: Inculcating Social Responsibility

Objectives of the Practice:

Objective of monitoring institutional values and best practices is to achieve the vision of the institution i.e
to create an advanced and progressive society without any prejudice with optimum gender equality,
inculcation of human values as its core, perpetual guest for knowledge, promotion of scientific temper to

practices conducive to our environment. Innovative the students in many socio economic, political and
cultural activities would bring about innovations in the contemporary education system.

The Context:

This college is a rural based institution where students from soci-economically poor background are
getting admission. The institution taking surroundings in to consideration has taken certain initiative to
make the environment more conducive for learning. Not only progress in academics but establishment of
developed society is the ultimate goal keeping this in view, the college works towards achieving the
objective , students are found to have been inspired towards building a progressive society in cooperating
with the college authority.

The Practice

The institution has been working towards achieving a society of young mass with healthy mind and body.
Holding of regular yoga classes, exercise the gym and participation in different sports activities help the
students in keeping their body healthy. The students are getting moral feedback from the stakeholders as
well as from faculty to inculcate a culture of critical thinking at times advise are invited from he alumni to
inspire the students in academic, cultural and sports activities. Students are advised to take care of the

Evidence of Success

It’s a matter of great pride the students of Nimapara Autonomous College not only have qualified
themselves for Universities but also have brought recognition to the institution for by getting selection in
National team in volley ball and kabaddi. In body building one of our students has brought honour to this
college by being the champion. Endeavour of our students in making the campus eco friendly has been
acclaimed by the public. Adoption of “Model Village” by our students is bright example of such practice.
Technical assistance to social economically back word students has helped them a lot in pursuance of their
higher studies. Hence the dropout rate has fallen to a considerable rate.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The main problem of this institution is its vast area of land. Its not easy to maintain such a large area with
minimum, resources. As there is no adequate numbers of hostels available for boys and girls students are
opting for communication. They have to reach at the bus stop at fixed time to ride their bus because
number of bus is also limited. This is major problem that the students are facing. The communication
facility to this place is very poor thus its is impossible for them to dedicate much time in other works
beyond academics. Another fact that needs to be described is that the students are from a socially and
economically poor background. They lack awareness about the trends that needs to be given priority.
Faculty members are taking much pain to inculcate an attitude of regularity, sincerity and punctuality
among the students by monitoring the student’s attendance by arranging meetings at their individual
initiative.

Notes:

The motto of this institution is to nurture the potential of students, enabling them and empowering them to
carve their unique path like self growth and self-worth. This institution utilizes experiential learning by
using the method of power point presentations that helps the students organize their thinking process.

Professional skills

Development programmes are being taken up using audio-visual aids & holding talks by the experts.
Yoga has always been a key for leading a healthy life for the students. Physical activities and practice of
yoga like breathing exercise and Surya-Namaskar has helped a lot in the promotion of well-being of
students. The constructive feedback from the faculty as well as the stakeholders, open communication help
to inculcate a culture of critical thinking and holding an in-depth discussion leading to the upliftment of
under privileged members to be self-reliant, career-oriented and to became great leaders. Faculty members
of various departments arrange programmes for students to reach out to the community beyond the

theoretical subject-matter to adopt a practical approach in order to sensitize them towards their moral
responsibilities. This has marked a miraculous effect on the minds of the young students as they are
inspired, in large members, to do public work. Adoption of “Model Villages” by our students is a bright
example of this practice. This college helps its students in taking teaching beyond books and classroom. To
inculcate sensitivity and responsibility towards the environment, students are encouraged to get involved in
the cleanliness drive and plantation programmes arranged by the institution on different occasions. One of
the best practices of our institution is the utmost discipline that is maintained by students in creating a
peaceful atmosphere. Disciplinary committee anti-ragging cell, sexual –harassment cell, and SC/ST and the
OBC cell have been formed to provide justice to each and every section of students. The college has
initiated a number of Programmes such as campus cleaning, plantation , setting up of eco-club for marking
the campus eco-friendly.

Since its inception the college is imparting value based quality Education, creating a pool of
responsible citizens to play a constructive role in nation-building. It aims at bringing socio-economic
change in the society. One of the distinctive features of this college is its student-centric functioning.
Starting from the admission the institution gives importance to merit and equity. Selection for admission is
done by an agency selected by the Govt. of Odisha, Thus making admission impartial and quality-based.
There is an admission committee comprised of teaching and non-teaching members to advise amateur
students regarding their subject of choice and pursuit of career. The students are individually counseled and
allowed to take subjects of their choice and interest. As this is a rural-based college and most of the
students belong to the unprivileged class, the institution takes special care for chose students and make
monetary arrangements to provide economical assistance to them. Flow of funds from corporate sectors
like Reliance Jio and tech. Mahindra and State Bank of India provide financial assistance to the
unprivileged students for their career development. Feed-back from beneficiaries is collected from time-to-
time at a regular basis. Students feed back get reviewed from time-to-time. It has been a healthy practice in
this institution to review the action plans on a weekly basis as suggested by IQAC. Necessary steps are
taken accordingly after each review for smooth implementation of action plans.

Another best practice of this institution is introduced of short-term courses for skill
development. Language Lab training, training for spoken English, coaching for competitive examinations
have been taken up for skill development of students. Faculty members take extra care in working towards
the accomplishment of the aforementioned activities.

Best –Practice-II

Title of the practice: ‘FOUNDTION DAY’

Objectives of the Practice: Foundation Day is traditionally a very important day in the college calendar

when members of the college community – students, management, staff and guests from the society – meet

to commemorate that day.

Page 89/109 02-10-2019 [Link]

The context: Every year the 27th of July is earmarked as the Foundation day of the institution.

The Practice: The college has been celebrating ‘Foundation Day ’ since the beginning. The

celebrations begin with blood donation, plantation, campus cleaning, seminar and finally the cultural
programme.

Evidence of Success: An atmosphere of celebration fills the college when the students and teachers gather

to celebrate the Foundation Day. There is active reporting in the local media who cover it widely. Many

pictures of the celebrations throughout the week are displayed in the college magazine.

Problems encountered and Resources required: The long logistics involves student and teacher

participation. All committees are actively involved in their responsibilities. This curtails the speed of study

and the student attendance dwindles.

and thrust

Response:

The Primary objective of this institution is to import value based quality education, to create a pool of

envisions a society advanced and progressive without any prejudice. In order to bring about nationalistic
feelings among our students, several national days are observed on the specified days. Before the
commencement of the observation days, debate, essay, education and quiz competition are arranged.
Active participation of maximum number of students in the mentioned competitions signifies their interest
in nation building. The departments take special care to inculcate social responsibilities among the students
regarding gender equality, environmental pollution and other matters of social importance by arranging
group discussions, competitions and workshops. Our aim is to make students responsible and conscious not
only theoretically but also on a practical foot. To achieve our objective students are encouraged to
participate in extra-curricular activities like music, dance, debate, education, quiz essay and fine arts. The

in Kabaddi and Cricket. Tournaments are organized every year to develop interest among the enthusiastic
students to participate. Hence the college takes all the initiative to discover and develop the intellectual and
physical skills of the students. To improve communication competency and cultural conscience that would
help the students in developing a positive approach, confidence and an all-round development in body and
mind, this institute serves as a training base. Here academic and cultural activities go together. Science
society and Commerce Society held their competitions separately. College Union for students organize
different competitions. Not only competitions but students, in large number do participate in the cultural
