Preface
Pratap College is managed by Khandesh Education Society (KES). The KES is an ideal blend of
the traditional and the modern education. Today, KES is a dynamic educational institution with
firm commitment to the Excellence. The KES has always been a student centric and teacher-
managed organization. The KES looks into future with great optimism and confidence. It will
enthusiastically and pro-actively embrace new opportunities of growth and development.
The founders of the College had first started Pratap High School in 1908 and later
established the Khandesh Education Society in 1914. Pratap High School is a place of pride in
the hearts of the people, as a historical monument and a symbol of the freedom struggle where
the great freedom fighter and philanthropist Pujya Sane Guruji served as a teacher. In the
memory of this devoted soul, the Government of India published a POSTAL STAMP. After the
establishment of Pratap High School, KES management had taken bold initiative to start a
privately managed college on the 20th
June 1945, naming it as the Pratap College. The name was
given in appreciation of the support of Shri Motilal Manakchand Agrawal alias Shrimat Pratap
Sethaji. Principal Jayakar, the then, Vice Chancellor of Bombay University of was the master of
the ceremony at the inaugural function of the College. The first Principal of the College was
Prof. K.R.Kanitkar –the Retired Principal of Fergusson College Pune. The College received
affiliation of University of Bombay, then ofPune University and presently it is affiliated to North
Maharashtra University Jalgaon.
The College has grown academically and acquired a reputation as nation-building
institution. It is a matter of great significance, that the College received active and moral support
from academicians and statesmen. The emphasis of the founders on ‗KNOWLEDGE‘ is aptly
reflected in the college emblem, which bears the inscription, ―TEJASWINAVADHITMASTU!
– LET OUR KNOWLEDGE BE MORE BRIGHT‖. The ‗SARASWATI‘ in this emblem,
symbolizes the power of knowledge. Pratap College has produced great patriots, thinkers,
philosophers, poets, writers, teachers, social workers, scientists, industrialists, entrepreneurs,
researchers, administrators and defense officers from first generation learner students from poor
farmer families and farm workers residing in villages. There is no walk of life that has not
basked in the sun of the Pratapions spirit. The College is situated in drought prone rural area.

The College takes initiatives for environmental awareness. Following
activities have found to be effective for environmental awareness.
As a part of University Curriculum, the College has introduced the subject,
namely, ―Environment Studies‖ as a compulsory subject. Syllabus consists of
following topics: Air Pollution and its causes, effects & installation of various
devices that reduces the air pollution. Water Pollution and its causes, effects
& various methods to prevent it. Sound Pollution and its causes, effects &
equipments that reduces it.
The students from all faculties have to learn ―Environment Studies‖. This
activity has been found to be effective for environmental awareness.
The NSS and NCC units of the college has taken initiative by organizing
various social programs to develop awareness regarding environmental
protection.
The department of Geography has been celebrating the ―World Environment
Day on 5th

January‖ every year.
The department of Geography has introduced a paper ―Natural Geography‖
for M.Sc. students.
Awareness of Carbon Consumption
The College organizes programmes to make the Students and Staff aware
of pollution caused by use of vehicles.
In the college campus almost 90% of students are using bicycles.
The carbon consumption awareness programmes improved to minimize
carbon emission.
Electricity Consumption
Average Electricity Consumption per day was 759 Units (kWH). The
consumption is too high. To reduce electrical Energy Consumption or to keep the
Consumption Conserved. The college is preparing an action plan to replace phase
wise the conventional electrical appliances by the modern ones (the tube lights in
academic units and street lights are replaced by CFL and LED lights). The
College has appointed ―Energy Audit Committee‖ to monitor the electrical
consumption and also to recommend to College various ways to reduce the
consumption. One of the suggestions was to use Solar Energy based lights.
Use of Renewable Energy
The electricity consumption was too high to provide hot water to 250 girls
in Ladies Hostel. The water heater based on ―wood as fuel‖ was not cost
Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle
Pratap College, Amalner
31
effective, not easy to handle, was creating carbon and polluting the environment.
The College have therefore installed (in 2014) 32 Solar panels (having cost of
4.22 Lakh) in Girls‘ Hostel.
Generator or other facility for management / regulation of electricity and
voltage : The college has 2 generators i) 50 kv and ii) 25 kv to provide backing.
Water Harvesting
The department of Chemistry is the biggest in the College. There are 6
independent laboratories in the department. The department runs M,Sc. Inorganic
Chemistry, M,Sc. Organic Chemistry, M,Sc. Drug Chemistry and M.Phil/Ph.D.
programmes. There are highest number of students are admitted to T.Y.B.Sc.
Class. To get the proper and accurate results of Practicals, large amount of
distilled water is required. To satisfy this requirement, the College has made
special arrangement to collect and store the rain water. Rain water is collected in
U type pipes from clean roof which is then channelized to pass through pipes to
reach to big storage tanks. The care is taken not to contaminate the water and is
used for the whole year. The technique is cost effective. No additional man power
is required. The large electrical consumption otherwise required to prepare large
amount distilled water from distillation plants is avoided and bypassed.

are made periodically in the evaluation scheme by the University.
The internal assessment grades are displayed on the notice board for student perusal.
The Principal informs the departments the date for uploading the internal marks on the
University website.
The College also makes use of its website to give a detailed account of the evaluation
process.
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has
adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?
The evaluation of students is conducted based on the norms set by the University.
Internal examinations and external examinations are the two components of the
evaluation process.
Internal grades are calculated on the basis of assignments, internal tests conducted by the
teacher concern and seminars.
Sometimes projects are a part of curriculum designed by university. Project work is a
part of continuous assement introduced by college.
Students of both UG and PG sections are expected to submit a project and attend a viva-
voce. In subjects like, Physics, the students have to pursue project work compulsorily as
a part of curriculum.
Dates for the submission of assignments and the conduct of seminars are given to the
students in advance.
Evaluated answer sheets are returned to the students to have an idea of their performance
levels. Sometimes their performance in examination is discussed in class.
An opportunity is given to reappear to interested and poor performers and absent
students.
Parents are informed and counselled in cases of poor performance and lack of
attendance.
Model examinations are conducted before the commencement of University
examinations.
The results of internal examinations are published on the notice board for grievance
redressal before uploading it on the University portal.
Entry Level Tests and tests to assess the progress after remedial classes are also part of
the evaluative reforms adopted by the college.
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms
of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?
College makes every effort to effectively implement the evaluation reforms of the university:
The Central Examination Committee prepares the Examination Schedule for UG internal

examination.
The departments conduct internal tests twice during each semester. Mark of Internal
examination are displayed on notice boards in the respective departments for students.
Queries and grievances, if any, are sorted out and attended to immediately.
The Heads of department / coordinators monitor effective and timely implementation of
the system and procedure of evaluation. Meetings faculty members are held as and when
required.
The college prepares schedule of Central Assessment Programme (CAP) to assess the
answer books of F.Y.B.A. / B.Sc. /B.Com. students. The examiners are appointed, answer
papers are assessed, and results are prepared and declared as early as possible.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adapted to
measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted
the system.
Students are assessed based on formative assessment which is customized to suit the
objective of the subject and summative assessment as prescribed by the University:
Formative assessment includes Seminar presentation, short quizzes, assignments,
Extension Work, an Open Book Test (with the concerned teacher deciding which books
are to be allowed for this purpose) and Mini Research Project by an individual student or
a group of students, role playing, workshops, communication skills etc.
The college provides opportunities to students to exhibit their knowledge through the
medium of expression (oral/ written) desired by the student.
The outcome of the entire exercise is that the evaluation method does not become a
hurdle while evaluating students. Students can optimally express their knowledge and
this enhances their confidence.
The following measures have positively impacted the system:
Tutorial and mentoring are powerful tools of formative evaluation.
Remedial classes for slow learners.
Transparency in the system of grading for formative evaluation.
Mechanism for grievance redressal.
Importance given to practicals and viva-voce.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the
internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall
development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent
learning, communication skills etc.
Showing answer sheets to the students and obtaining their signature on the printed
presence list helps in maintaining transparency. While no weightage is assigned specifically to
Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle
Pratap College, Amalner
111
different aspects of student development, aspects such as communication skills get tested
through written tests as well as viva voce. Projects, presentations and group discussions allow
scope for testing the capacity for independent exploration and learning, while enhancing
communicative abilities. As of now, there is no provision for evaluating behavioral aspects
through the University Evaluation mechanism or even at the college level.
2.5.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university?
How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?
Text books published by the university specify attributes expected from students
including graduates. The college always keeps these desirable attritutes while imparting teaching
and ensuring effective learning. At the end of the process, a student is expected to be equipped
with the attributes/skills by providing necessary reference books ICT facilities.
1. Humanities: Laguage lab for the development language skills
LCDs for extra exposure to various literary forms
Books and reference books for gaining thorough knowledge related to the syllabi
2. Social sciences: LCDS facilities computer internet made available to departments
providing assess to knowledge in their respective subjects.
3. Science: aviability of well equipped laboratories
Adequate reference materials
Avaibility of required equipments
4. Commerce : Avability of computer labs
Separate departemts and adequate reference materials
The college helps the student in attaining these attributes not only through academic training, but
also through the different co curricular and extra-curricular activities available on the campus.
2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation
both at the college and University level?
A four level Grievance Redressal method for internal assessment is adopted by the college
A student may directly approach the teacher in case of a grievance regarding the internal
evaluation.
If the student is not satisfied with the clarification of the teacher concerned, he
may approach to Grievance Redressal Cell of the Department comprising of the Head of
the Department and faculty members of the department.
The Principal of the College is the chairman of Grievance Redressal cell along with four
heads of departments, one from each faculty, and Vice Principal of each faculty.
For university examinations
Student may demand photo copy of the answer book.

year classes, a broad outline of the scope of that subject and avenues that are open for the
students after their degree courses are discussed in class room. Guest lectures by eminent
academicians/ experts in the field are arranged by the departments so that the students get a

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design and
implementation of its quality policy and plans?
The office of KES and the College are on the same campus and in the same building.
This physical proximity provides convenience for the top management, Principal and
the faculty to work together for the implementation of quality policy and plans.
The management and the Principal provide the roadmap and general guidelines for
quality policy in order to create conducive learning environment.
The ―Local Managing Committee‖ (LMC) consisting of representatives from
management, teaching and non-teaching staff along with the Principal is committed to
effective governance.
IQAC provides facilitative and participative voluntary system for the sustenance of
quality and enhancement measures.
The Principal is the ex-officio chairman of IQAC and plays a significant role in
ensuring proper communication and networking with the stakeholders.
Khandesh Education Society-the parent body of the College- decides its vision,
mission and objectives regarding the quality enhancement and quality sustenance.
Accordingly, the Principal and the co-ordinator of IQAC prepare road map with the
help of IQAC committee to measure quality of teaching and learning.
At the beginning of each academic year, IQAC prepares the action plan for all the
educational activities i.e. ―Academic and Activity Calendar” in consultation with
Principal, Vice principals every year.

College‘s Annual Magazine ―Pratapiya‖.
6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring :
The policy statement and action plans for fulfillment of the stated mission
The Principal in consultation with Managing Board of Khandesh Education
Society and Local Managing Committee (LMC) makes sure that the policy statement and
the action plans are aligned with the stated mission of the institute. The Managing Board
and Local Managing Committee are also involved in communicating and reviewing the
policies/action plans from time to time through meetings with various stakeholders. The
Principal conducts faculty meetings usually at the beginning and end of every term, takes
stock of activities planned in previous year and the academic and developmental plans for
the current year.
Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into
the institutional strategic plan
The institutional strategic plan (2011-16) was carefully prepared in consultation
with the stakeholders as well as by referring to the suggestions provided by NAAC peer
team report for the second cycle. The suggestions and recommendations are used to
review and revise the action plan. The leadership considers the modifications in action
plan and incorporates these into the strategic plan in consultation with LMC. The IQAC
Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

The Principal follows a democratic and open door policy of leadership. The
stakeholders are free to come to the office of the Principal with grievances and
constructive suggestions. The Principal also interacts with stakeholders such as alumni,
parents and prospective employers. The Principal holds interactions with various

vision of the College and in tune with the needs of the society. Various meetings and
interactive sessions are arranged. Interactions with students through welcome functions,
interactions with Heads of departments, Student Council meetings and Alumni meet are
regularly arranged.

consultations with the stakeholders
The Principal and Management understand the importance of dynamic policy and
planning. The Principal analyzes and carries out the academic and infrastructural needs
periodically with the help of key administrative (Vice Principals) and academic (Heads of
departments and senior faculty members) personnel. Interaction with ―Academic
Committee‖ appointed by Regional Joint Director of Higher Education, ―Local Inquiry
Committees‖ appointed by the University, Peer Review and Steering Committee
appointed by funding agencies like Department of Information and Communication
Technology (DIT), New Delhi and other Higher Education bodies provide valuable
inputs for future policies and planning. The policies and plans both are framed based on
the past experience and after assessing future needs.
The status of College has been conferred on ―The College with Potential for
Excellence‖ twice by the UGC. The UGC, therefore, had invited the College for
presentation of Action Plan. The College prepared an action plan to excel the quality of
education and presented it thoroughly before the UGC committee. The UGC committee

logistic) for any new plans designed for the benefit of stakeholders. The feedback from
students, parents and alumni is also given due weightage for planning.
Reinforcing the culture of excellence
The Principal of the College and the Management have consciousness of the
quality and the quality has been considered as value and not a strategy. ―Quest of
Excellence‖ is the motto of the College. The leadership is committed to reinforce the
culture of excellence in all the aspects for providing a dynamic learning environment on
the campus. The Principal as well as all the faculty members of the College are
committed to impart quality education through traditional and innovative learning
practices. The students are sensitized on relevant social issues and encouraged to
participate in understanding and solving, at least mitigating, these in some measure
through various activities both on and outside the campus.
Champion organizational change
The Principal and Vice Principals play a critical role in formulation and
implementation of policy/action plan as per the current trends and requirements. The
Principal through IQAC compiles the suggestions from the stakeholders in formal or
informal ways for formulation of policies and action plan. After finalization of the action
plan, the changes in the policies are communicated to the Heads of the departments and
faculty members for implementation. A conscious effort by the leadership and all the
stakeholders generates the positive forward momentum needed to bring about change and
maintain the reputation of the College.

healthy.
There is full autonomy and freedom to teachers for advancing their scholarships,
research and experimentation and involvement in educational innovation and reforms.
6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?
The College grooms leadership at three main levels: teaching faculty, students and
administrative and support (non-teaching) staff levels. The procedure adopted for
creating leaders at different levels is described below.
Identify various activities/tasks to be implemented for every academic year according

Circulate the list of activities/tasks amongst the faculty and staff.
Involve the members in the college activities of his/her own choice.
Assign responsibilities by providing freedom and necessary support for

The College authorities appoint the Head of the department to take up the role of
departmental administrative and academic head. In addition, the Head is also given
the responsibility of handling some of the administrative tasks at the college level. All
teachers conduct various curricular, extracurricular activities and take up
administrative responsibilities in rotation.
For administrative and support staff, some training workshops for overall
developmental skills are arranged. Training for effective use of ICT is usually
conducted through some professionals.
The student leadership is groomed through the students‘ Council which is formed
every academic year. For every class, a Class Representative is selected. All Class
Representatives are members of the Council. They elect one student as College
Representative for the university representation. S/He also works in coordination with
the Principal for planning and implementation of Annual Social Gathering and other
extracurricular activities. Several co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of the

6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational autonomy to the
departments / units of the institution and work towards decentralized governance
system?
Decentralized governance system is a key aspect of democratic governance for the
development and utilization of human potential. For the development and governance
to be fully responsive and representational, the authorities have appointed and
empowered the five Vice Principals and Heads of the department and provided
administrative as well as academic autonomy for effective governance.
The administrative matters of the Arts, Science and Commerce faculties are looked
after by the five Vice-Principals. They have adequate autonomy on a number of
matters such as preparing admission schedule as well as setting up committees for
different classes, designing and evaluation of internal examination schedule and
pattern, and other administrative and academic matters.
Under the supervision of the Principal, the College provides autonomy to the Vice-
Principals and the Heads of departments. Academic planning, assignment of
workload to teachers and non-teaching staff are done at the departmental level by the
Head of department. Each department plans and organizes the academic activities
related to its subject. Every department is given freedom to frame time-table for the
practicals, to identify and invite visiting faculty or guest speakers, to assign projects,
to decide the theme for workshops. Delegation of power to sanction leave to the staff
and to utilize the allocated budget as per the requirements is also looked after by the
Head of department.
The College has formulated various committees to facilitate smooth functioning and
conduct of all the activities in the college. The roles and responsibilities of the
committee members are well defined. Each committee has a ―Coordinator/Convener‖
who co-ordinates the meetings/ proceedings of the work of the committee including
assigning responsibility to each member of the committee.
In addition, the distribution of office administrative work and monitoring is handled
by the Registrar of the College along with the college authority. The Principal then
ensures that this information is available for the Management to review the activities
of the College. This is an important step in aligning the activities of the College with
the Institutional Vision and Mission.

The students from all faculties have to learn ―Environment Science‖. This
activity has been found to be effective for environmental awareness.
The NSS and NCC units of the college have taken initiative by organizing
various social programs to develop awareness regarding environmental
protection.
The department of Geography has been celebrating the ―World Environment
Day on 5th
of June‖ and the ―Geography Day on 14th
January‖ every
year.
The department of Geography has introduced a paper ―Natural Geography‖
for M.Sc. students, as per the syllabus of NMU, Jalgaon.
Awareness of Carbon Consumption
The College organizes programmes to make the Students and Staff aware of
pollution caused by use of vehicles & motorcycles.
In the college campus almost 90% of students are using bicycles.
The carbon consumption awareness programmes improved to minimize carbon
emission.
Electricity Consumption
Average Electricity Consumption per day was 759 Units (KWH). The consumption is
too high. To reduce electrical Energy Consumption or to keep the Consumption
Conserved, is preparing an action plan to replace phase wise the conventional electrical
appliances by the modern ones (the tube lights in academic units and street lights are
replaced by CFL and LED lights). The College has appointed ―Energy Audit
Committee‖ to monitor the electrical consumption and also to recommend to College
various ways to reduce the consumption. One of the suggestions was to use Solar
Energy based lights.
Use of Renewable Energy
The electricity consumption was too high to provide hot water to 250 girls in Ladies
Hostel. The water heater based on ―wood as fuel‖ was not cost effective, not easy to
handle, was creating carbon and polluting the environment. The College have therefore
installed (in 2014) 32 Solar panels (having cost of 4.22 Lakh) in Girls‘ Hostel and in
boys hostel.

The department of Chemistry is the biggest in the College. There are 6 independent
laboratories in the department. The department runs M,Sc. Inorganic Chemistry, M,Sc.
Organic Chemistry, M.Sc. Drug Chemistry and M.Phil/Ph.D. programmes. There are
highest number of students are admitted to T.Y.B.Sc. Class. To get the proper and
accurate results of Practicals, large amount of distilled water is required. To satisfy this
requirement, the College has made special arrangement to collect and store the rain
water. Rain water is collected in U type pipes from clean roof which is then channelized
to pass through pipes to reach to big storage tanks. The care is taken that the water does
not get contaminated and the water and is used for the whole year. The technique is cost
effective. No additional man power is required. The large electrical consumption
otherwise required to prepare large amount distilled water from distillation plants is
avoided and bypassed.
