guardians/mentors for the students. Each faculty looks after 15 students. The

faculty mentors continuously assess, monitor, counsel and give possible

guidance to the students and record their assessment in Mentoring report.

Following records are maintained with each faculty mentors.

1. Personal Information form– In this, detailed information about students

like name, fathers name, mothers name, photo, phone numbers of student and

parents, their e mail addresses, permanent and local addresses, health related

information like blood group, allergy etc. are recorded.

2. Mentoring report– This report is filled at the start of the academic year and

during each mentoring session to assess the students’ performance. It covers

following points.

a. Evaluation of students – Mentoring report covers evaluation of the students

on their strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, goals and career plans etc. This

evaluation by students helps their mentors to know the strengths and

weaknesses of the individual students. It also makes mentor aware of the career

goals and future plans of the students and accordingly necessary career

guidance can be provided by the institute.

b. Total development – During mentoring, students are evaluated for their

learning ability, independent working ability, leadership quality, team working

ability, expression of thoughts and participation in co and extracurricular

activities. Assessment of all the above parameters help the mentors to

understand the strengths and weaknesses of the students, thus special efforts

can be taken by the mentor to overcome the weaknesses of the students.

specific performance of the students, their percentage attendance and sessional

marks obtained for theory and practical of the individual subject are

maintained. This academic performance record indicates the learning ability,

subject knowledge and practical knowledge or skills of the students. Mentors

continuously monitor the attendance and marks of the students in different

subjects. The reason for the poor performance of the students is assessed during

mentoring and proper counseling and guidance for improving the performance

is given to the students.

e. Parenthood – Parenthood concept helps the mentor to interact with students

at individual levels. This concept helps mentors to understand the student’s

problems (family, economic, institutional, physical problems etc.) which might

be affecting their overall performance in the institute. During mentoring,

mentors counsel the students and give suggestions related to their problems.

Occasionally, mentor’s meeting with the parents is conducted based on the

requirement.

3. Report analysis – Mentoring report of individual student is analyzed and

problems are recorded.

4. Action taken – After careful analysis, problems related to institute (library,

infrastructure or other facilities etc.), academic (individual subject related

problems), professional (career related problems), total development

(communication, leadership, team working etc.) or personal (economic, family,

physical etc.) are identified, discussed with respective person or department

consumption.

B. Use of renewable energy

The College is planning to install solar panel and adaptation of solar energy

under renewable energy was the best course of action in the existing

circumstances. Solar technologies are broadly characterized as passive or active

solar technologies depending on the way these equipment capture, convert and

distribute solar energy.

C. Water harvesting

Every summer (period from February to June) there is water scarcity and the

institute is located in one of the drought region. So, to overcome this water

shortage we are planning to introduce the concept of water harvesting. There

are mainly two main techniques of rainwater harvesting Storage of rainwater

on surface for future use.

Recharge to groundwater.

The water distillation plants of departments of pharmaceutics and chemistry are

connected with water storage tanks. The distilled water is used in the

laboratories for specific experiments. The water (that was used as a coolant)

coming out from distillation machine is collected and used for many purposes

including gardening.

D. Solar panels

Solar panels are not yet fixed in the college but the initiative of constructing

solar panels is to be taken in near future.

E. Efforts for Carbon neutrality

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has been emphasizing the need

for "minimizing the institute's impact on the environment and its carbon

footprint." Each institute has been advised to constitute a dedicated and

independent green office consisting of members knowledgeable in

NAAC SSR 2017


environmental issues and green technologies and practices, besides student

representatives.

The College makes the student aware of the carbon credits, carbon neutrality;

its advantages etc. as a curriculum in the subjects of environmental studies in

third year program.

Following are the steps taken for carbon neutrality:-

Overload and shock in the electricity can be automated by tripping

system.

Auto changes over generators are made available in the campus so that

delay or break in works due to electricity can be avoided.

The college has been maintaining greenery with shrubs and trees for

keeping carbon neutrality stable. Crotons and some varieties of

flowering plants are grown as indoor plants placed in corridors.

Minimization in the use of coal in this campus is a serious measure

adopted by the administration to reach the Carbon neutrality.

Recycling is promoted amongst students in the following ways-

- Students are encouraged to make paper carry bags.

- Students are encouraged for to create utility goods from the Waste.

F. Plantation-Botanical or Medicinal significance

The campus is full of various kinds of trees it is well maintained with

plantation and college has separate medicinal garden in the campus.

The college has a beautiful landscape which contributes peaceful

environment to students and make them very interesting and joy full.

The garden area along with canteen is covered with stone pathways with

benches for relaxing. The garden is watered by sprinkler irrigation

system.

Plantation programs was organized by NSS team and always the team is

trying to make campus greenery and outstanding.

The College maintains its own medicinal garden which contains number

of medicinal plants. Moreover, every year we try to plant new trees.

NAAC SSR 2017


Seasonal flower garden is also a unique feature of this college. Activities

of NSS team in plantation program.

Many of plants are being planted on various occasions.

Each student is given a plant and instructed to plant it at his/her home

and rear it properly.

G. Bio-Hazardous waste management

Generally the waste from microbiology labs, chemistry departments and

other labs are carefully discarded through proper channels where the

sewage system has been done in eco-friendly manner.

Use of plastic bags is discouraged within the institute premises.

Broken glassware of any sort is considered hazardous waste and is

disposed appropriately.

Students and faculty members are discouraged from using cell phones in

the premises.

Hazardous chemicals used in the labs are diluted and safely flushed out

of the reach of the students.

Two modern Fume Chambers have been installed in the department of

Chemistry which remove the acid fumes and harmful vapors of the

laboratories.

Officially the building debris is expected to be dumped in pre designated

dumping area.

Animal waste in pharmacology laboratory is disposed in deep pits which

are covered and closed with thick layer of earth.

Broken glass, and plastic, rubber and poly-urethane materials are

disposed into municipal dump bins to be recycled.

e-waste management

Generally in few cases it is unavoidable to dispose them to the scrap

merchants and these are replaced with new ones.

H. Recognition/certification for environmental friendliness

NAAC SSR 2017


Officially we do not have any recognition/certification to our institution

regarding environmental friendliness.

both graduate and undergraduate level.

To enhance linkages with industries, other academic institutions,

expertise in individual fields.

To monitor timely completion and strict vigilance of Internal Theory,

Practical examination, and Viva-voce for the undergraduate.

3. Context:

The management of the institute leads the institution to achieve certain level of

perfection in consultation with faculty members and the executive body of the

trust.

Head of Institute has been explained about their responsibilities by the

management at the time of appointment. The institute has a well-defined

organizational structure.

There is decentralization of powers through sharing of responsibilities at

various levels, which has been clearly explained individually to all the

staff at the time of appointment in the institution.

Additionally the Principal along with HOD’s initiate the process of

planning, execution, monitoring, reporting and action to be taken for

various tasks at the academic, research level along with overall

development of the students.

4. The Practice:

The head of the institute minutely observes various activities including

programme of the institutes emphasizing that all the activities be carried out as

NAAC SSR 2017


a team. Team work in all activities of the institution has not only resulted in

success of events. However the leadership qualities of the head of the institute

are evident from some of the following functions carried out as mentioned

below,

Monitors discipline and code of conduct of the college.

Plans for infrastructure up-gradation

Monitors staff recruitment procedure.

Strives for student’s professional growth and overall development.

Encourages innovative practices and deals positively and productively

with change.

Organizes, promotes and maintains a wide range of activities to help

staff and students that supports knowledge and skill enhancement.

Appoints various committees at the beginning of the academic year to

translate the vision into plan, specifying time scales and responsibilities.

Identifies strategies to achieve the vision, taking into account

opportunities and threats.

Highlights achievement of staff and students in newspapers, university

and college magazines, websites and electronic media.

Establishes coordination between the universities, stakeholders as an

active member of various statutory bodies.

5. Evidence of Success:

For smooth functioning and resolving the problems decision making

powers not only resides with the academic, students and department

heads besides Principal but also penetrates very well below in the

hierarchy to the level of lecturer who head individual committees like

sports, extracurricular, gate, annual function, etc.

Small scale purchase from fixed vendors and minor items required for

departments are carried out solely at the desertion of the HOD. Head of

the exam section is also designated powers to decide the schedule of

NAAC SSR 2017


examination in consultation with academic head, thus ensuring timely

completion of internal exams.

Management ensures their participation in the various programs

organized by the institution.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The institute believes in strong internal sharing, coordination and

monitoring process that helps the institute to organize effective

partnership, team work, continuous learning and improvement.

For the same, strong human resource is required at all levels for

effective planning, execution, monitoring and reporting of all the

activities carried out at the institution.

The institute has an effective mode of communication, maintenance of

movement registers, installation of CCTV camera, clear organizational

structure for action plan, regular meetings of HOD, department, Self-

appraisal mechanism, obtaining feedbacks, preparation of data sheets

and conducting academic audit helps in having effective internal

coordination and monitoring.

Second Best Practice:

1. Title of the practice:

Innovations in Pharmaceutical Science education and research through

multidisciplinary approach.

2. Objectives:

NAAC SSR 2017


3. The Context

The Pharmaceutical sciences education and research is strongly

regulated by the statutory bodies such as Pharmacy Council of India

(PCI), All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) etc., which

provide regulations, curricula and experiential training in a structured

manner making it mandatory for the institution to comply with and

providing little or no scope for innovating in education.

The institute emphasizes and encourages multidisciplinary approach,

integrated approach and innovative approaches to research, so as to

enhance the employability of the graduates, their knowledge and skills

to current and in emerging areas and also be able to meet the challenges

in a global workforce environment.

The institute adopts multidisciplinary and innovative approaches in

education and research to fulfill the emerging need of industry for

development.

Creating pharmacy manpower of global standards will involve

participation of Faculty and students in the planning, decision making

and implementation process. The need of the society today is to develop

budding pharmacists, having research mindset, ethical values and

entrepreneurship skill.

It has decided to involve the Faculty and students, who are the major

stakeholders in research, for the development of society. With the

involvement of more and more faculty in research activity will benefit in

the overall professional development of students.

Encouraging Faculty to do research will improve the reasoning skill of

students in classrooms and awareness among the students about recent

technological development in society, which in turn will make the

students one of the best entrepreneur. By inculcating research culture

among faculty and students, Teaching-Learning process is improved;

NAAC SSR 2017


there is better conceptual understanding of the subject among the

students. Faculties are motivated to pursue higher studies.

4. The Practice

The importance of the best practices in education can be easily

underlined in this powerful, but unsurprising shift. It took a long time,

but the change is here, studies have proven that teachers and pupils alike

have found it limiting to keep the traditional form of the classroom.

The institute has various departments like Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology

and Quality Assurance, where each departmental laboratory had strong

research capabilities, highly qualified and well trained human resource

and excellent research environment.

Institute has also contacts with more pharmaceutical industry to meet the

above objectives and come out with innovative research outcome that

will provide latest trends in research and development, industrial

training and acquire best skills in pharmaceutical sector.

The institute has adopted various approaches to meet best practice of

Innovation in Education and Research through the following activities

like holding multidisciplinary workshops, symposia and seminars, guest

lectures for advancement of knowledge and skills.

Identify topics and projects that could be offered with innovative

teaching methods and multidisciplinary approach as well as Industry

defined projects.

To identify the state of art (New area of research) technology.

To motivate the faculty and student to do research.

To organize conference, workshop, seminar & symposium to create

awareness among Faculty and students about emerging trend in related

area.

To motivate the faculty and student to present/ publish the research

papers at reputed journals and conferences.

To identify thrust areas to know the individual research interest

supporting infrastructure considering the thrust area and state of art.

NAAC SSR 2017


To create the awareness about various funding scheme of Government,

AICTE, DST, ICMR, etc., and motivate the faculty to prepare good

research proposals.

To organize visits to research organizations, National Laboratories, etc.

To create the awareness about patent/innovating intellectual rights.

To encourage the consultancy in related areas.

To develop research culture in Institute and lifelong learning skills

among students / faculty

5. Evidence of Success

The various departments of institute has applied for multidisciplinary

projects.

Good number of faculty from the institute have registered for Ph.D. and

few more are in the process of registration Faculty are involved in

writing research proposals to various National funding agencies.

Many students are involved in this real time problem solving group, so

as to nurture their R&D competency Institute is running three PG

courses across the departments. Institute is having registered research

Centre for Ph.D.

The college Faculties and Students, organize workshop/conference and

etc., various conferences are conducted sponsored by different agencies.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Strengthening of infrastructure and research facilities in interdisciplinary

areas where the facilities can be availed from nearby areas, moreover

researchers with good research experience are required for multi-

disciplinary research.

Hence experienced Staff members in different departments of

Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics and Quality Assurance, Pharmaceutical

chemistry, Pharmacognosy are available and can increase the exposure

to research in emerging areas.

NAAC SSR 2017


The second challenge was overcome by establishing centralized research

facility to be commonly used by collaborating department and tried to

be fetched more number of research grants to facilitate and strengthen

our research environment.
