Dandekar with a vision to provide higher education to all, especially to the first generation

learners of Adivasis and Women folks. At the time of its inception the college had 150 students,

The college has been involved in its re-accreditation preparation for last couple of years. It has been an enriching experience of working and reflecting together and identifying our strengths and weaknesses. This journey of reflecting on foot prints left in the last ten years has given us insight to think of path ahead and realize the goals of actualizing the potentials of Sonopant Dandekar College.

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1 .1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

- A like past 5 years this year i.e. in academic year 2015-16 also college conducted

Green audit of its campus and facilities. A committee incorporating Principal,

Department of Botany has been formed.

- College has developed botanical garden with some very good varieties of medicinal

plant.

- In order to minimize the use of chemical manures college has constructed wormi

compost pit. A god quality of manure is prepared and made available for plants

present in the college campus.

- Like every year NSS unit of college conducted tree plantation programme in the

college campus and at shirgaon beach in collaboration with Lion’s Club of Palghar .

- College has very well developed and well designed garden in campus area. Special

care takers has been appointed to look after this garden. This garden has some

exotic species of flowering plants.

- Each and every plant in the college campus is labeled to its Botanical name up to

genus and species level. No of plants from each family is counted and accordingly list

is prepared.

- Anti plastic campaign drive was conducted by NSS.

- College has developed “Mango and Chiku Orchard.”

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

College undertakes many initiatives to make the campus eco friendly through actions,

training and awareness.

Energy conservation

The buildings of the college are built in such a way that there should be maximum use of

sunlight and they will remain airy throughout the year. While constructing the bulding

geograpical loation and weather conditions of the region are taken in to consideration by

the Building Commitee. The institution strictly observes that no electric equipments run

unnecessarily, enough measures are taken to use electricity carefully.

In order to reduce electricity consumption conventional fluorescent lights with CFL and

LED was done in auditorium, gymkhana hall, passages etc. Posters and Stickers are put

in the class rooms for requesting students to switch off the lights and fans whenever not in

use.

100

In all the Computer Laboratories, Office and other places CRT monitors are replaced by

the LED monitors which saves electricity. Air conditioners are run at economic mode.

Use of Renewable energy

Solar street lights are installed in College premises. A proposal has been prepared by NSS

and NCC units along with a few faculties and submitted to management about the step

wise shift to solar energy system. Management gave granted permission and step wise

shifting to renewable use will be initiated soon

Water harvesting

lghar being located in the western costal region, the average railfall in the region is higher.

There is no direct roof water harvesting system installed by the college, the the college

makes it sure that rain water will be percolated in the campus itself. For that channels are

dig along the side of bore wells so as the ground water level gets recharged.

E-waste management

Electronic waste, such as discarded computers, office electronic equipments, Laboratory

electoronic equipments are disposed off as per their conditions or handed over to the

companies engaged in recycling of e-waste.

Efforts for Carbon neutrality

Students and Faculty members are motivated to use bicycle to commute through and from

college instead of using vehicles running on carbon fuel. The plantation around the campus

helps in absorption of carbon and supply of fresh air.

101

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during academic year 2015-16 which have

created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

Following are an innovative practices introduced during academic year 2015-16 till the

month of February 2016.

ISSUES RELATED TO FEMALES :

1) Sanitary Napkins :

Sanitary Napkin has become one of the basic requirement of female students and staff.

Most of the students are from poor Adivasi families and hence are not able to afford

purchase of Sanitary napkins. (Most of these students do not take breakfast or lunch and

take only dinner when they reach home.) As per the circular of Central Government this

facility is essential on the college campus.

Sanitary napkins are provided to female students – FREE as and when required. The stock

of single napkins is kept at six different locations with female staff.

1) Library – Miss. Bhavika Gaikwad

2) Office – Mrs. Shaila Urade

3) Principal Cabin – Mrs. Swati Patil

4) BMS Building Office – (Unaided Section):Mrs. Monica Kulkarni

5) Grahak Bhandar

Notices regarding availability of Sanitary napkins are displayed in Girls common rooms.

2) Porn Revenge :

Incidences of Porn Revenge have increased in the recent past. Smart phones with camera

facility are with the student. When students fall in love with each other they click

photographs of their intimate relationships. After the break in the relationship these

photographs are used as tools to torture girl. Many girls have committed suicide due to

such type of black – mailing.

Awareness about PORN – REVANGE is done by displaying newspaper cuttings related to

this issue in the Ladies/Girls common room.

102

3) Breast Cancer :

Incidences of Breast Cancer are increasing Breast Cancer is also related to our life-style.

Early detection of breast cancer can save life. A illustrative poster containing simple steps

of checking of breast for the symptoms of cancer are displayed in the Ladies/ Common

room.

Special lectures on Sex Education are arranged for female students in which the

awareness of breast cancer is also done.

4) Self defence :

How to protect ourselves at the time of problematic situation is informed to female students

through poster exhibition related to this issue.

5) Exhibition on various issues related to women :

This attractive exhibition contains more than 80 cartoons on this issue.

GENERAL HEALTH :

1) First Aid Boxes :

First Aid Boxes containing basic medicines, thermometer, bandages etc. are kept at about

20 locations in the college. Information about these locations is displayed at various

places.

2) Yoga Class :

Yoga is very simple, inexpensive technique to keep ourselves healthy and energetic. Yoga

is very essential for students in their adolocent age, as effective functioning of their

internal glands promotes healthy growth of their mind and body.

3) Workshop to relive tension:

4) Workshop on Sex –Education :

AIDS awareness and Breast cancer.

103

TRAINING COURSES FOR STUDENTS :

1) Technical and professional courses :

Two courses Central Govt. programme, skill development have started in the college

through NGO – ‘Adhar India’ - (1) Electrical Maintenance and (2) Retail Management.

Both of these courses were of one month duration. Students obtained theoretical as well

as practical knowledge from the experts about Electrical maintenance and retail

management. Due to this basic knowledge students can get jobs in the companies.

2) Competitive examination (UPSC/MPSC):

Students can appear for these examinations after completing their graduation. Most of

these examination have compulsory paper of general knowledge. About 95% of the

General knowledge does not change. Hence if the students start acquiring G.K. in First

year for the next three years they will be able to remember many facts. This will also boost

up their confidence for preparation of these exams.

Innovative techniques are used during teaching – learning process and while conducting

periodic tests.

Innovative OHP transparencies are prepared by the students in which various processes

in Science and Geography are explained step by step.

Test cards are prepared for various topics. Each card contains Sr.No. and one objective

question. Students get answer sheet containing numbers 1 to 100.

Test cards are distributed to the students. Each student get time of half or one minute to

answer this question. After one minute teacher rings bell. Student pass on their test card

to the next student and they get new card from another student.

PROJECTS FOR STUDENTS/STAFF :

1) Bicycle Project :

Many students of our college are from remote Adivasi area. Bicyle will help them in their

efforts to take education. Hence we have approached Hero Cycles for providing bicycles

at concessional rates and also big companies like ONGC for providing supporting fund.

The idea is if we get about 40% to 50% discount in the price about 30% share will be of

ONGC so our student will get the bicycle at 20% of the original price.

2) Educational Tour :

Students get railway concession and hence for national integration this educational tour

was organized to the Rock Memorial of Swami Vivekananda at Kanyakumari. Total

104

duration of the trip was even days. Students could see Kanyakumari and various places

from Kanyakumari to Trivendrum. Total expenditure was Rs. 2300/-only. About 600

students were willing to participate but the actual number of students were about 553. The

proportion of females was more.

3) Health Club :

Membership fee for this club is only Rs. 10/-. Special lectures of doctors and specialists

are organized on the medical problems, diet, general health etc.

Booklets on various topics of Sex Education, Diet, Yoga, Health etc. are prepared. Students get

one booklet at a time for home issue.

Height and weight of the students are checked and are compared with their age.

4) Sur–Tal Club :

This club is for the students who are interested in the instrumental or vocal music.

5) Movie Club :

Some of the movies are very motivating and keep everlasting impression on our mind.

Bollywood is the capital of Movie kingom in India which is at Mumbai near to Palghar.

Excellent movie is a Master piece of an Art and student should be taught to appreciate

various techniques and technical aspects related to the films.

6) Language Courses :

Language is a bridge of communication between two individuals. It has become essential

to learn Indian and Foreign languages in the today are competitive world.

Most of the students of our college belong to SC/ST and Adivasi Communities. They have

lot of inferiority complex and hence teaching them language like English is really very

difficult task.

Innovative games, cards, activities are designed for teaching English effectively.

We have also started language courses for French and we have plan to start language

classes for German.

Knowledge of Indian languages is very very essential to understand sweetness and these

languages and their culture. Which is very important for the national integration of our

country.

We have selected four representative languages from different parts of India as follows :

East : Bengali

West : Gujarathi

105

South : Kannada

North : Hindi

7) Poster exhibition:

Poster exhibition of the various schemes of Government for SC/ST students. All these

schemes are printed in colour by the social welfare department.

The colourful pages are laminated separated and displayed on the portable stands at

various locations in the college for awareness and benefits of the SC/ST students.

8) Books for our Guests instead of flowers :

Government of Maharashtra has recently declared that the books be given to the Guest.

We have implemented this scheme successfully for the last one year. We order books from

the various publications at maximum discount 20% or 30% in English, Marathi and Hindi.

These books are kept in front of the Guests. They get a choice to select book of their

interest. The same book is packed attractively & given to the Guest in the function.

9) Books for Students / Teachers :

They are offered same amount of discount i.e. 20% or 30% so that many students &

teachers are able to purchase many books. This activity promotes habit of reading in the

society.

10) Life Membership of N.B.T.:

National Book Trust (NBT) is organization of the central Govt., which publishes classic

books on various topics in different languages. The life-membership of NBT is only Rs.

100/- for individual and Rs. 500/- for the institute. Membership forms are given to the

guests, teachers & students. The scheme is explained to them and they are encouraged to

become members of NBT.

11) Hypnotism for the removal of fear:

Students have various tensions & fear i.e. fear about the subject or examination. This fear

can be easily removed with the technique of Hypnotism. This facility is provided to the

students at No Cost.

12) Interactive programmes with schools, Project Skill Development through Science

projects :

Many school do not have separate science laboratories and so school children do not get

chance to perform science experiments.

106

Experiments in Science are like soul of science teaching. The scientific equipments required

to perform science experiments have become costly and so neither students nor schools are

able to afford such expenditure.

In order to overcome this problem, to promote effective science teaching and at the same

time teach students technical skills of using basic tools, this innovative programme is

designed.

The estimated cost of the project is about Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand only) out of which Rs.

6000/- will be given by the school and Rs. 4000/- by our college.

A tool kit containing basic tools (1) Electric Drill Machine (2) Grinder (3) Basic Tools like

hammer, Spanners, Screw drivers etc. (4) Other material like steel wire, copper wire, nails,

screws, nut bolts etc. are given to the school. The set also contains books of science

experiments both in English and Marathi in which about 350 science experiments are

explained. The unique aspect of these books is that the material used for the experiments is

mainly waste material (Beast from the waste). Hence this project will reduce solid waste

material, recycle it & so it is also environment friendly.

Students will learn to use basic tools under the guidance of their teachers. This project will

act as a basic foundation of Make in India scheme of our Prime Minister Hon. Narendraji

Modi.

13) Training of Driving :

Many students of our college are interested in learning driving and so we are trying to

contact driving school who will provide training to our students at concessional rate.

14) Training of Banking :

We have tie-up with the Saraswat Bank for providing free basic training regarding bank

operations to our students.

15) Ecofriendly display board for college foundations:

Many functions are organised in the college every year. We prepare flex for the function,

which is discarded after the function. This ecofriendly display board can solve this problem

permanently.

This display board contains individual alphabets which can be arranged in the order as

per the programme.

107

16) Helmet for riders of Two wheelers :

Last year as per the guidelines of our Hon. Chairman Adv. Shri. G.D. Tiwari we do not

allow two wheeler riders in the college campus without their helmet.

17) Use of waste water bottles for giving plants to the Guest:

Waste water bottles are cut into two pieces and the base part is used for growing plants to

be given to the Guest. These bottles are wrapped in the attractive gift paper.

7.3 Best Practices-1

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.

Format for Presentation of Best Practice

1. Title of the Practice

Establishment of Guidance centre for MPSC and UPSC exams

2. Goal

To empower students the with knowledge apart from curriculum.

To provide the students with alternate career opportunities.

To motivate students to appear for different competitive exams.

3. Context

Today’s world is full of competition, in these circumstances mere education can’t guarantee

100% Job assurance. With the Intention of securing better job perspectives in future, the

College has established the department of Competitive Exams, which aims at preparing Under

Graduate students for high end competitive examinations like MPSC, UPSC, Staff selection

etc. with nominal fees Rs. 1000 per annum.

4. The Practice

Academic year 2015-16 is the Second year of the Department which had housed 35 students in

its first year. The department currently has 106 students enrolled, whose lectures are conducted

every Thursdays & Saturdays after the Curriculum lectures are over.

The department had framed 90 lectures covering the entire syllabus of MPSC. The

students were guided by Principal Dr. Hemant Pednekar (Geography, Statistics),

Prof. Mrs. Arundhati Barde (English), Dr. Dilip Yadav (Science), Prof. Prakash Gharat

(Panchayat Raj), Prof. Kavita Raut, Prof. Sudhir Saindane (History, Social Reformers) besides

the Guest Lectures of Superintendent of Police Mrs. Sharada Raut Madam & Additional

Commissioner of Indian Revenue Services Mr. Rajesh Dabre.

5. Evidence of Success

This year 8 students of the cell did appear for exam conducted by staff selection on the

basis of H.S.C.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

This activity is considered as co-curriculum activity, hence the students are mainly with exam

oriented mind can’t pay full attention or devote more time in preparation of Competitive Exams.

109

Exams of higher caliber like MPSC, UPSC has the eligibility of graduation, while the

students are still in the under graduate phase & that’s why the total number of students

appearing for the competitive exams cannot be estimated.

Best Practices - 2
