The college gives instructions to the students and staff to make the campus eco-friendly and also conduct the environmental awareness programme for students. Environmental science is a compulsory subject to all second year students for the purpose of awareness.

This apart the institution has taken several other steps or initiatives to make the campus eco-friendly.

• Energy Conservation :

The college class rooms are so airy and well lighted that they hardly need any artificial lighting. For energy conservation we use CFL lights in class rooms and campus. All the unnecessary electric connections are disconnected after college hours and during holidays. Our office and teaching staff and students monitor that no lights, fans work during off hours. Hence we require electricity only for the xerox machines and electronic equipments. The hostel inmates enthusiastically celebrates ‘Earth Hour’ and ‘Tilak Holi’ to save water.

• Water Harvesting :

The college has rain water harvesting facility and using this system, we use water for our garden. This system is useful for the Borewell which is in the college campus. Similarly, college has done rain water harvesting project in the nearby village which was adopted by NSS unit for special camp.

139

• Use of Renewable Energy :

The Girls’ hostel of our institute has installed solar unit for providing hot water to the inmates.

The dead leaves and the waste papers are not allowed to be put on fire. We make compost from the dead leaves and waste paper. ‘No Vehicle Day’ is observed by the college inmates.

• Plantation :

Massive plantation programmes are arranged in collaboration with NSS and NCC units and ‘Environment and Green Campus’ committee Through this activity, we plant trees in our college campus as well as in the adopted village by NSS unit. In last four years lots of saplings are planted and well maintained by the students and the non teaching staff.

A planned herbal garden is developed in hostel premises.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE –––– I I I I

1. Title of the Practice :Nutritional Audit

2. Goal/Objective :

• To create awareness about the importance of health and hygiene.

• To inculcate self confidence and a sense of responsibility into student.

• To create a healthy environment for the overall development.

• To arouse health consciousness.

3. The Context :

Matoshree Vimalabai Deshmukh Mahavidyalaya has a misson to impart education to the deprived community and it is rooted firmly in this belief. Our college has been established in the name of Late Vimalabai Deshmukh (better half of our founder President Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh) who was not only a learned lady but a visionary also. She was the sole agent in bringing the course, B.Sc. (HomeScience) to our institute with a view to empower women not only academically but also in every respect. Most of the students in our college hail from poorer, weaker, downtrodden sections of society and surrounding villages. As a result, we find in them nutritional anaemia, their unawareness and negligence towards health and hygiene, ignorance of available indigenous and ample nutritious resources.

Our government has declared 1st to 7th September as National Nutrition week. Our institute take this opportunity and celebrate it with full fervour.

4. The Practice :

For the execution of the nutritional audit we conduct various activities round the year. We celebrate National Nutrition Week with great zeal and enthusiasm. All the students from B.A. and B.Sc. (HomeScience) participate in the events organized by the department of HomeScience and Home – Economics. Parents, Alumni and other stakeholders are also invited.

• Competitions and contests are organized during Nutrition Week like –

o Nutrition Quiz

o Poster, Pamphlets, Charts

o Nutritious Receipe Contest

o Essay and Slogan

o One Minute show (General knowledge)

143

o Regional Food

o Nutrition Queen contest.

• Guest lectures are arranged on various subjects to promote nutrition literacy like –

o Health and hygiene

o Stress management

o Emotional and mental health

o Balanced Diet

o Therapeutic Diet

o Malnutrition etc.

• Demonstration on indigenous and modern recipes.

• Diet counselling is provided to the students

• Poshan Mela is organized

• During this week, various articles on allied subjects are published in the local dailies by the expert faculty.

• Nutritional Assessment is done by performing various tests like

o Height & Weight

o BMI

o Haemoglobin

o Blood Group detection

o Clinical Assessment etc.

• Role Plays are performed

In the year round activities, group discussions, guest lectures, essay competitions, demonstrations, charts, posters and flash cards making are organized. Charts posters and flash cards are distributed in schools, anganwadi centres during NSS camps.

This year the institute has organized a day long ‘Women Gathering’ especially for economically weaker section of the society on a massive scale. Nearly 85 Women attended the function and various sessions on related subjects with experts from different fields were held. We received great response and feedback from the participants. To encourage and motivate the participants, certificates were distributed.

144

5. Evidence of Success :

• The Practice has exercised a great motivational influence on the student community.

• We reach Community through NSS and NGO’s easily

• Our beneficiaries are all our stakeholders.

6. Problems encountered and Resources required :

• Lack of awareness among parents and students

• It is very difficult to persuade the students in the very beginning to participate in the activities.

• On account of the effect of the old orthodox customs they have practiced so far, they are not ready to accept new ideas and didn’t give expected response.

• The problem area is time–table. A lot of rescheduling and adjustment in time-table has to be done to enable all the teachers to meet their respective classes and prevent any academic loss.

Self employment is a need of hour. Students should make use of education to earn their livelihood.

145

4. The Practice :

To foster awareness among students regarding employment various programmes are organized –

• Workshops on Mushroom cultivation
