7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact on the
functioning of the institution. Give details.
7.2. Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at the beginning
of the year
Feedback mechanism:
Students give the feedback about the teachers at the end of each session/semester.
Students of each department are expected to do so for all the teachers concerned with their class.
Besides, informal interaction between the students and the Class Teacher /H.O.D./Principal
about issues pertaining to teaching quality is also encouraged. Teachers are counseled by the
departmental head and/or principal regarding measures to improve subject understanding and/or
teaching skills.
Eco-friendly practices in and outside the campus:
As energy conservation measure, Solar panels have been installed in the campus
with 25 KW capacities. SWATCH VUYYURU AND SWATCH BHARAT concepts (clean
and green programmes) are carried out by the students and the staff.
Minimum -Balance Accounts:
The College has facilitated its staff as well as the other internal stakeholders, i.e. the
students by providing them the facility to maintain a Rs.100/- balance bank account in the
Syndicate bank, located in the town itself. This has helped the students in many ways like
student insurances.
Academic Innovations:
The institution has introduced many new innovative practices to help the students in
their pursuit of attaining quality education. The college has introduced remedial Classes for the
students. This has helped them to improve their learning abilities. The College has also started a
new innovative technique to help the students revise their syllabi. The teachers introduced the
skill of drafting question banks. These questions are framed on the basis of the questions being
framed in the last examinations. This has helped ease the burden of the students and improve the
pass percentage.
The teachers are informed to write teaching diary, lesson plan and the head of the Institution,
examine them monthly and attest the signature. The plan of action decided at the beginning of
the year in the IQAC meeting created a positive impact on the teaching and learning process.

7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please see the format in the NAAC Self-study Manuals)
TITLE OF THE PRACTICE:
1. No Capitation No Donation: “No Capitation No Donation” is one of the prime healthy practices followed by our college
right from its inception. The college was established way back in 1975 with the noble cause of
providing collegiate education to the students especially hailing from the rural background and
the economically weaker section of the society. This is the Vision and Mission of the founders
of our college. We still uphold the same practice and continue to do the same in the years to
come.
2. Student aid Fund:
Keeping in view the fact that most of the students belong to economically weaker sections of the
society, the college has established a Poor Student Aid Fund to inculcate charity, generosity
and helping nature among students to give a helping hand to the economically poor students to
complete their studies without interruption The students and staff of the college generously
contribute to the Poor Student Aid Fund which is transparently maintained. The Fund raised
through the donors is fixed in the bank account and the interest every year goes towards payment
of fees of economically backward students. Some of the students successfully completed their
education by using this fund.
3. Eco-friendly practices in and outside the campus:
As energy conservation measure, Solar panels have been installed in the campus with 25 KW
capacities. SWATCH VUYYURU AND SWATCH BHARAT concepts (clean and green
programmes) are carried out by the students and the staff.
4. Personalized attention to students through mentoring systems:
Our College caters to the needs of under privileged students, especially those who are
economically weaker and can’t afford tuitions. Hence, initiatives are taken by the college to
conduct classes for those students who are very weak in the respective subjects.
5. Student support and progression :
The main objective of mentoring classes is to go beyond purely academic concern towards the
all round well-being of the students and to ensure them in gaining emotional stability.
6. Needs addressed and the context :
Faculty members divide students according to the competence and each individual is given
attention and encouragement in co-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities. Extensive
remedial teaching is given for academically weaker students. Faculty members counsel students
through mentoring system and special counseling is given for girls. Also career guidance and
counseling is done for all the students.
7. Physical fitness training programme in summer :
The Department of Physical Education conducts Physical Fitness Training Programme every
summer for the students and surrounding youth. Through this training, the 52 former students of
our college were selected for Government services as Police Constables and Home guards.
