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

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.

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.

feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback, specific suggestions etc.)

The affiliating university has a system to solicit recommendations from its affiliated

colleges.

Whenever faculty members find that there is need of syllabus modification to meet

present trends, they communicate their ideas concretely to the B.O.S. of respective

subjects.

The members of the faculty often brainstorm and discuss amongst themselves the

relevance of the syllabus designed by the affiliating university.

While recommending or forwarding suggestions to the B.O.S, our teachers routinely

take into consideration feedback from students as well as faculty of various

departments.

It has been a regular practice of the faculty members to discuss with students in

classrooms to get the feedback.

Performance Report at the end of every academic year.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially

students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

The College Prospectus and Academic Calendar give a detailed account of the

evaluation process.

Two parts university and college, university announces evaluation and curriculum very

clearly. Evaluation pattern mentioned is displayed on university website. Students are

informed about evaluation pattern.

Each teacher explains the evaluation pattern and procedure in class. The students are

informed in detail about the grading pattern, assignment valuation, seminar evaluation,

attendance mark, etc.

The Vice principal (Examinations) informs the teachers about the evaluation schedule.

College carries out continuous evaluation through test, tutorials, projects ,seminars

The students are also encouraged to visit the university website regularly to get

information pertaining to their academic matters.

Teachers are sent for orientation programmes conducted on the evaluation pattern.

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.

5.2.3 How does the institution facilitate student progression to higher level of education

and/or towards employment?

The college inspires and motivates students to pursue higher education after their

graduation / post-graduation. For instance, when the teachers orient their students in the first

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

can be considered as the major distinctive characteristic of the College.

The College has developed a culture of conducting student centric activities, co-

curricular as well as extracurricular which encourages every student to participate in the

activities, identify their strengths and develop their potential. This culture has been

passed on from the earlier generation of teachers to the newer generation of teachers.

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.

Every faculty member is provided ―Teacher‘s Diary‖ to prepare microteaching plan

Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

Pratap College, Amalner

219

and to keep record of their day to day teaching transactions.

The College monitors the class room teaching through the students, parents and

alumni. The College has developed the feedback forms to be filled up by the students,

parents and alumni.

Every faculty member has to submit A.P.I and C.R. Forms at the end of every

academic year.

The faculty is actively involved in decision making process through the

―Departmental Committees‖.

Departmental committees are given responsibility to take all the necessary steps for

successful implementation of the academic/activity plan and submit the report on the

action taken every term for ―Academic Audit‖.

At the end of every academic year, each department submits the ―Annual

Departmental Activity Report‖ to the Principal; which is then published in the

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

Pratap College, Amalner

220

and departmental committees initiate the necessary implementation plan for every

academic year.

Interaction with stakeholders

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

departments. This helps the College to ensure that its activities are as per the mission and

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.

Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs and

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

had approved the plan and provided financial support for academic development. The

College followed the action plan in spirit and letter approved by the UGC committee for

academic development.

Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

Pratap College, Amalner

221

The Management provides all the necessary support (administrative, financial and

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.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and evaluate policies

and plans of the institution for effective implementation and improvement from

time to time?

Governing Educational Management System (GEMS), which will be helpful to all

stakeholders to follow the plans and the policies of the institution with greater ease.

6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by the top

management?

College. The past Principals were the recipient of the Best Teacher Award given by

the State Government, an eminent scientist, academician and administrator having

experience of working on apex bodies like Management Council, Senate, and

Academic Council of North Maharashtra University Jalgaon. The credit of his

appointment goes to the top management. The present Principal has also consistently

good academic record.

The Management has given freedom to the Principal to appoint senior and studious

faculty members as Vice Principals of the College. This is one of the best policies of

the Management. This policy enables and encourages the Vice Principals to monitor

quality of teaching-learning and evaluation. The Vice Principals have the voice and

freedom to participate in top management which leads to proper administration of the

College.

The top management has maintained the studious environment in the College by

promoting five studious faculty members to the post of Professor on the basis of their

academic performance as per the provision of PBAS format published by the UGC.

The Management also promotes the Assistant and Associate Professors to their next

grade pay time to time by arranging the interviews conducted in presence of the

committee appointed by the University.

The Management has made provision in the bylaws of the Trust to appoint a

―Secretary of Khandesh Education Society‖ from the permanent faculty members.

The faculty is given a free hand to work as conveners, coordinators, secretaries or

members of the organizing committees of various academic events organized by the

College. The teachers can also work on various academic bodies in the University or

nongovernment organizations.

Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

The Heads of departments are given freedom to administer their respective

departments, plan and execute academic programmes. The class-wise In-charges and

Post Graduate Programme Coordinators are appointed to facilitate smooth conduct of

academic activities throughout the year and monitor the overall progress of the

students.

There are ―Departmental Committees‖ to take all the necessary steps for successful

implementation of the academic plan and provide the feedback. The faculty members

are allowed to participate in and contribute to the deliberations. In addition to this,

there are the committees which help in planning the academic activities.

The administrative structure of the College is monitored by the Khandesh Education

Society- the parent body of Pratap College. There is a representation of 5 teachers

on the management of Khandesh Education Society.

There are 13 members on the Management who help in executing the day to day

activities of the College.

There is about 40 % representation of teachers on Managing Board of KES from the

College and the conducted schools of the Management.

Secretary - a permanent teacher from Senior College,

College Teachers‘ Representative - a permanent teacher from Senior or Junior

College,

Head Masters‘ Representative- one Head Master out of four from the conducted

schools of the K.E.Society,

Teachers‘ Representative- one of the teachers from the conducted schools of the

K.E.Society

Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

Pratap College, Amalner

224

possible. It helps to keep the interrelations between faculty and the Management

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

to the perspective plan of the institute.

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

implementation.

Appreciate the innovative ideas and leadership qualities shown by the members.

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

College are planned and executed with the help of students including seminars,

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.

Tree Plantation in premises to make the students aware of environment protection:

The College purposely purchased 250 plants of 8 to 10 ft height in June 2013 and planted

through the students of each class in presence of members management, faculty and

nonteaching staff. The students had given responsibility to protect and grow the plants.

Today the plants are healthy and grown to height of 13 to 15 ft.

The College purposely purchased 100 plants of 8 to 10 ft height in July 2016 and planted

through the students of each class in presence of members management, faculty and

nonteaching staff. The students had given responsibility to protect and grow the plants.

The College had organized Tree Plantation program at College Campus and surrounding

villages through NSS unit.

The college has Botanical Garden in which plantation of various types of ornamental and

medicinal have been made. There is a gardener to take care of the garden. The waste

water from R.O. water plant is used in botanical garden.

This activity helps in maintaining eco-friendly environment.

Vermiculture Composting Culture

The institute has started Vermi culture composting culture in house on 30 Sq. meter land.

The main purpose to reduce disposable waste in the college campus and after complete

process of vermin composting it is used as manure. The main benefits of the process are

to reduce the waste in the environment and also it is cost savings process. This is mainly

carried out:

To make the Villagers aware of the process of composting during their visits to

College.

To publicize the benefits of composting and organic farming.

Environment Awareness Program

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 Science‖ 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.

Self Study Report : NAAC 3rd Cycle

Pratap College, Amalner

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.
