distinctiveness.
Institutional Weakness
The college manages to fill in the vacancies arising from transfers and superannuations by employing
Temporary/Contract Faculty. However, the gradual attrition of senior, experienced regular faculty is
hampering the ambition of achieving 100% results and placements.
The college offers free consultancy to several local academic institutions and industries. This is to be
strengthened and extended to larger industries and business concerns on revenue generating basis.
The College at present provides different types of scholarships to more than 75% of the poor and
deserving students. They are to be promoted into 100% freeships to all the deserving students by raising
resources from philanthropists, NGOs and Alumni.
Institutional Opportunity
Rich Agricultural, industrial and marine corridors offer ample scope for academic, industrial, agro based
interdisciplinary programs, research and consultancies.
During 2017-’18 alone, the college has received funds to a tune of Rs. 2.50 Crores from UGC - CPE,
Autonomous Grants, RUSA, DST-FIST etc.More funding exclusively for promotion of Learning
Resources and research needs to be raised from other national and international funding agencies.
The college is under active consideration for up-gradation to University under RUSA which creates
world of opportunities for growth and expansion in academics, research and development.
Growing Autonomy in Academic, Administrative and Financial matters allows a free hand to develop
need based policies, procedures and organization structure.
Institutional Challenge
The innovative and creative ideas of the CIIE are successfully implemented at the institutional level
with best results. But the same is not receiving substantial support from large scale industries and
business firms as the institution is situated in a semi urban locale.
Page 4/136 21-01-2019 11:57:50

Apart from clear objectives and effective curriculum to meet the regional and national requirements, the
college needs more MoUs with institutions, universities and industries of international repute to share
global knowledge, skills, research and expertise through student exchange programs.
Poor rural socio cultural background crippled by hand to mouth existence is resulting in 3-4% dropouts
among students forcing them to turn into agriculture coolies and rural artisans instead of pursuing
graduate and postgraduate programs.

including semester end examinations. The total instruction days for each semester are 90 days and 2 days
grace. The split is planned in such a manner as to 75% of total instruction hours for curricular and co-
curricular activities, 15% for extra-curricular and extension activities and 10% of instruction hours for skill
development and other activities. In each semester 19 days are allocated for examination & evaluation
process. The draft academic plan becomes enforceable after the approval of academic council. The
approved calendar is publicized among departments, students and faculty. The college web site hosts the
details of programs, courses and curriculum related activities. The same is adhered to for smooth
functioning of college.
Annual Curricular Plans: The Board of Studies of each department designs the modules along with
subdivisions, modes of evaluation and question paper models for all courses. On the basis of this
curriculum - day wise, topic wise annual curricular plan for all courses, with appropriate pedagogical
methods for effective teaching learning and evaluation are prepared by the faculty concerned and adhered
to. A copy is forwarded to IQAC. Students are informed of the curricular plan in advance by the faculty
concerned. Periodical meetings are conducted in the departments to review the implementation of the plan
and to take corrective measures such as extra classes or reschedules if needed.

synopsis of the topic, pedagogy, participatory activities and other requirements for effective teaching in a
Page 39/136 21-01-2019 11:58:29

well-designed format. They also maintain a diary of the day’s completed activities. These records are
signed by the in-charge of the department and counter signed by Principal.
Time table: Structured time-table is yet another step to ensure proper execution of the curricular plan.
Master time-table is prepared well in advance to the commencement of instruction for the semester. Every
department prepares its semester time-table in consonance to the college master time-table. The finalized
time-table is circulated among students.

2.5.4 Positive impact of reforms on the examination procedures and processes including IT
integration and continuous internal assessment on the examination management system
Response:
Examinations are the ultimate in assessing the quantity and quality of learning outcomes. The policy of the
college is to strengthen the procedures of examinations with continuous reforms.
Reforms on examination procedures and Processes
CBCS was introduced into the curriculum from 2014-15.

Course wise moderation of question papers was introduced in 2016-17 to ensure consistency of
question papers within the framework of syllabus and weightage of marks confirm to the blue print.
This process ensures fair, accurate and consistent evaluation and results.
The time between exams and results was reduced from 2015-16. The results for final year programs
were declared within a month from the date of their last examination. In the year 2017-18, the
results were declared in a span of 20 days so that students are not loosing professional and career
opportunities.
Instant examination system was introduced in 2014-15. They are conducted immediately within a
week after the declaration of results for final year students with a maximum of two backlogs in any
semester. The students are able to pay attention to the current year subjects fully.
The results and marks memos are made available in the college web site for students to download
and print for ready reference since 2016-17. It is saving a lot of time for administration and
students.
The Internal Evaluation was enhanced from 25% to 40% from 2016-17.
Positive impact of IT integration
The ERP system is helping in centralized functioning of the entire examination process.
Examination fee is paid online making it easy and transparent.
The software generated OMR bar code sheet, hall tickets, seating arrangement, invigilators day
Page 43/136 21-01-2019 11:58:33

wise room allotment, result declaration, mark sheet generation are ensuring accurate, transparent
and fair conduct of examinations.
Computer software assisted result analysis, introduced from 2015-16 on overall basis, program
wise, medium wise, group wise and lecturer wise is giving a clear picture of student performance
and the areas of attention to be paid.
Online evaluation of instant examination papers was introduced in 2017-18 to ensure fair, accurate
and speedy valuation with the intention of saving progression opportunities and declared results
within 3 days.
Continuous internal assessment system:
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) is done by concerned faculty during the semester. Students’
learning in knowledge, skills, aptitude, imagination and other such aspects related to each course is
tested through a range of methods like tests (written, practical and oral), assignments, seminars and
projects. The scores are part of semester-end evaluation.
The share of CIA is 40 out of 100. This shall include 20 marks from sum of best 2 out of 3
descriptive/objective examinations and 5 marks for assignments. For remaining 15 Marks, the
concerned teacher may follow any of the pedagogical strategies to assess the student basing on the
academic abilities.
The marks obtained in CIA will be made available to the students in the respective departments and
they are obliged to affix their signatures as a confirmation of their verification of the marks.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution
Response:
Attainment of POs, PSOs & COs by Government College Rajahmundry
The Student completing graduation is expected to possess certain qualities, during and after the completion
of his/her program and are referred to as Program Outcomes (POs)/Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs).
The designed COs are mapped to the POs/PSOs which are used to provide the quantitative measurement
that how well the POs are achieved.
At the end of each program, the PO/PSO attainment is calculated from the CO attainment of all courses in
a Program.
In each Course, the level of CO attainment is compared with the predefined targets. If not, the Course
Coordinator/instructor takes necessary measures for improvement to reach the target. With the help of CO
against PO/PSO mapping, the PO attainment is calculated.
PO attainment for 2015-18 graduated batches for each program is calculated and few are presented here:

Response:
The Government College (Autonomous) Rajahmundry is a Government managed Institution of Higher

Education. As per the rules in vogue, all elected student Councils have been banned since 1988. However,
to encourage the participative role of students in the administration and to inculcate the spirit of democracy
and leadership among the students, the college has adopted the system of permitting 02 nominated
members called ‘Class Representatives’(CRs) preferably a boy and a girl from each class to perform the
duties of the Student Council. Usually, the active and meritorious students of the class are nominated as
Page 82/136 21-01-2019 11:59:08

CRs unanimously by the students. They have a WhatsApp group for effective communication and
interaction. The functions of the group in the last five years include:
The student participation in the council and various academic and administrative bodies and
committees helps them gain experience of conducting meetings, making decisions and managing an
organization.
As CRs, students play a vital role in the planning of College events such as rallies, awareness
campaigns, conducting Fresher’s Day, Independence Day and Teachers Day etc. They receive
guests, anchor programs, and organize the whole event on their own.
They also assist administration in organizing various programs such as Blood Donations Camps,
Campus Recruitment Drives or Fund Raising.
As members of various committees, the CRs reflect the opinion of the students.
As members of Boards of Study, they exercise a say on framing the syllabi and the pattern of
question papers.
They also play a crucial role in designing the academic calendar, and curriculum, along with fixing
the dates of examinations, vacations and re-opening.
Further, they also undertake the responsibility of maintaining discipline and clean and green on the
campus.
The CRs propose ideas, place requests, and provide feedback to the administration in a democratic
manner on various aspects to initiate corrective measures wherever needed.
Thus, under the supervision of teachers and the Principal, the students acquire administrative skills, civic
responsibility, leadership, problem solving, and teamwork. The following are the achievements of the CRs
in the college:
Actively involved in major decisions on academic and college development activities.

Represented Student issues to the administration.
Worked with various committees in planning and organizing various activities such as cultural
events, guest lectures, seminars, conferences, workshops, national festivals, extension activities
viz., rallies, adoption of villages, community service, surveys etc.
Assisted proctors/mentors in monitoring and counseling the students spanning the gap between the
faculty, students and the administration.
Supported faculty in organizing learner centric strategies like student seminar, group discussions
etc.
Motivated peers for active involvement in ‘Swatch Kalasala’, ‘Vanam Manam’ etc.

their alma mater so much that any major or minor contribution they make is taken as a god sent
opportunity to discharge their indebtedness to this institution. Equally, the institution deems it an honor to
claim its alumni as the main source of strength and publicity. Hence, the college has institutionalized the
culture of honoring its octogenarian alumni. More than a fifty members of alumni are serving this
institution in teaching/ non-teaching cadres.

Einstein erected between the Arts and Science Blocks in the college. They have also donated Rs. 50,000
for the construction of an e-classroom in Physics Department which is now upgraded into a Virtual
Classroom.
Many local artisans including masons, plumbers, welders and electricians, who happen to be the alumni,

be measured in terms of money.

6.3.5 Institution has Performance Appraisal System for teaching and non-teaching staff
Response:
Government College (Autonomous), Rajahmundry aims at accomplishing effective performance of its

human resources. Teaching staff play an imperative role in escalating the institutional performance. Their
performance is evaluated periodically at three levels by the in-charge of department, the head of the
institution and the Commissionerate of Collegiate Education through well- established procedures. The
procedures for evaluation are designed for rectifications rather than fault finding. It helps identify the ways
and means of enhancing the performance of staff.
The Current procedure for appraisal of teachers is primarily concerned with the areas of their teaching,
contribution to administration, professional development and research. The college collects feedback from
students’ semester wise. Review meetings are conducted both to verify the satisfactory completion of
syllabi by the Faculty and also after the announcement of semester end examination result to analyze
whether the pass percentage of students taught by each faculty is up to the mark.
In case, the syllabi is found incomplete, the faculty is advised to take extra classes to cover the same before
the commencement of examinations. In the case of faculty with poor performance of students in the
semester end examinations, the in-charges of the Departments are asked to conduct a review meeting at the
department level with the faculty to initiate necessary corrective measures.
At the college level, a well-structured annual self-evaluative faculty appraisal procedure prescribed by
Andhra Pradesh Commissionerate of Collegiate Education (based on UGC Guidelines) is adopted to
reckon the performance of the faculty. These performance Indicators are evaluated by the IQAC on the
basis of documentary evidences forwarded to Principal for awarding scores and later uploaded to
Commissionerate website. As the final Score forms the basis for promotion, transfer and career
advancement of the individual lecturer, the process is seriously taken care of. The Performance indicators
of teaching staff is one of the factors considered for the conferment of State Best Teacher Award.
Non-teaching staff performance is appraised is periodical. It is reckoned on the basis of their adherence to
Page 98/136 21-01-2019 11:59:18

the Citizens Charter and the stipulated deadlines. Month wise review of personal registers and work done
by non-teaching staff is monitored closely. The efficiency of office staff in helping staff and students by
way of processing their files is given priority in assessing them.
The Commissionerate of Collegiate Education also appraises the performance of non-teaching staff on the
basis of punctuality, personal register, entry in inward and outward registers, number of currents received,
sorted and executed, maintenance of other necessary registers and accountability with evidences. This
forms the base for award of best non-teaching staff at district/state level.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has contributed significantly for institutionalizing the
quality assurance strategies and processes
Response:
The IQAC has initiated various quality enhancement measures and institutionalized them to ensure their
sustainability. The IQAC is instrumental in the extension of autonomy twice and in claiming the status of
College with Potential for Excellence. Two sample practices institutionalized by IQAC are narrated below.
1.Smart Campus:
The IQAC initiated the slogan ‘Smart Campus’ and number of measures have been initiated to realize this
dream. The College uniform and ID card system have been introduced both as a disciplinary measure and
also to confer the honor of the student’s belongingness to this prestigious College. Two Level outsourced
24/7 Security has been arranged apart from video surveillance to step protection to the students and
property of the College. The Campus is Wi-Fi enabled with AP Fiber Grid connectivity of bandwidths of
more than 500 Mbps to facilitate all digital initiatives in the campus.
To strengthen the mission of ‘Smart Campus’ the IQAC has initiated a number of eco-friendly measures.
Grid tied Solar power plant has been installed with a capacity to generate 50 KWP which slashed power
bills by 25%. The conventional electrical bulbs have been replaced with LED bulbs to save energy.
Botanical Gardens, Herbal Medicinal plants and Green house have been developed. Vermi-Compost Unit
has been started to recycle the solid and wet wastes in the college. The College observes every Friday as a
‘Vehicle Free Day’. Green Army has been set up with student volunteers to undertake plantation and
maintenance of gardens.
The IQAC has initiated massive Digitalization campaign in academics and administration to realize the
ideals of a smart campus. As part of it, 3 Digital Classrooms, 5 Virtual Classrooms and all other classroom
have been provided with ICT based resources apart from 8 computer labs with 412 systems. The campus is
under LAN and having internet facility. The office, the LRC and the Examination Section have been fully

automated. The teaching and non-teaching faculty is deputed to digital training programs to enhance their
competence. Curriculum is smartened with the introduction of Certificate /market oriented and Skill
Development Programs.
2. Promotion of Research Culture
As a second quality initiative, the IQAC has undertaken to promote Research Culture among the staff and
students. As an initial measure, seed money has been paid to confer guideships upon 12 faculty members.
The Nine Departments are identified as Research Centers by the affiliating university. One of the faculty
members has been awarded the prestigious Raman Research Fellowship. The college has produced 12
Ph.Ds. during the last 5years.
The Department of Physics has set up Nano Research Centre and Simulation and Robotic Lab as part of
promoting research. The Central Instrumental Lab has been set up to facilitate advanced research. 18
Minor and 01 Major Research Projects have been completed over the last 5 years.

papers at seminars and workshops. The Innovation and Incubation Centre has been set to promote research
attitude among students.
6.5.2 The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operations
and learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms
Response:
The IQAC of the college periodically reviews teaching learning process, its structures and methodologies
of operations and learning outcomes. Under the efficient leadership of the Principal and the GB, it has
developed effective norms to review and achieve the best learning outcomes. The IQAC undertakes a
Page 103/136 21-01-2019 11:59:21

periodical review of teaching-learning activities such as the preparation of BOS, Department activities,
Annual Academic Plans, Teaching Diaries, Teaching Notes, Bridge Courses, Remedial Programs,
implementation of ICT based pedagogical methods etc. A few sample IQAC initiatives are given below.
The IQAC has devised an effective on-line feedback mechanism on teaching learning scenario in the
college. The IQAC reviews and reforms the teaching-learning Programs based on the feedback from
stakeholders. Under the provisions of Autonomy, the liberty is taken to add or delete programs, courses or
course contents to suit market demands. Accordingly the UG program “Economics, Political Science and
Public Administration” was discontinued in 2010 and 07 job/market oriented restructured courses have
been introduced in 2017-’18 and 10 new market oriented restructured programs are added in 2018 -19.
In the beginning of the academic year, the IQAC reviews the work load based on the sanctioned strength of
students and recommends the Principal to appoint the required number of temporary or Contract Faculty to
facilitate smooth running of classes. To facilitate student centric methods in teaching and learning, the
Curricular Plans are designed to outline the pedagogy methods combined with curricular, co-curricular and
extracurricular activities. With a view to revamp the existing lecture method, the IQAC held a series of
meetings and with senior faculty and pedagogy experts to devise a number of student centric pedagogy
tools such as PPTs, AV aids, Group Discussions, games, Projects, Classroom seminars, interviews, role
plays, surveys etc. to revitalize the teaching-learning scenario.
Academic Infrastructure in the college has been strengthened to create a congenial academic ambiance for
teaching and learning. A great number of ICT classrooms, virtual classrooms and digital classrooms were
established. A Recording Studio (Lecture Capturing System) was set up to promote LMS by recording and
placing the lessons of subject experts and senior faculty on YouTube for use 24/7. This has also opened up
opportunity to launch Massive Open Online Course in the college.
‘Hands on experience’ is provided to students through Internships, Project works, Field Trips and Summer
Research Projects. Inter and intra institutional Seminars, workshops and symposia are organized to
supplement the teaching learning activity. The faculty is deputed On Duty to participate in Orientation and
Refresher courses, Seminars and workshops or any Skill Development Program. Teaching-learning is also
strengthened by introduction of Certificate Courses, Foundation Courses, Skill Development Courses and
Value Education programs.
Student Progression sheet is another IQAC initiative which serves as a progress sheet to monitor the
impact of teaching-learning on the learning outcomes. The IQAC conducts post result review meet on
declaration of semester end results wherein the faculty of the course in which students have performed
poorly is requested to come up with reasons and remedial measures.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:

• Solid waste management
• Liquid waste management
• E-waste management
Page 110/136 21-01-2019 11:59:26

Response:
The College considers sustainability promotion as an essential component of education apart from the
basic teaching and learning. Waste management is one of the prime concerns of the institution. This
institution has a permanent mechanism for eliminating or minimizing the wastage on the campus, be it of
time, power, paper, or water. However, where wastage is inevitable and unavoidable, it is managed quite
effectively. It is either deposited safely or recycled successfully for the benefit of nature and community.
Mainly, the institution manages three types of wastes.
Solid Waste Management:
The main Solid wastes on the campus include waste paper and disposables. Students are created awareness
in this regard through orientation classes and by arranging signboards in important locations. Measures are
being taken for safe disposal in a planned manner by separating into biodegradable and non-degradable
materials. The biodegradable waste is shifted to the Vermi-Compost unit maintained by the Departments of
Zoology and Botany. This in turn is used for development of Botanical gardens and lawns in the college.
Proposals are under way to start a paper recycling unit to generate covers and other reusable materials.
The non-degradable wastes are separated into recyclable and disposable ones. Plastics, glass and scrap
metal wastes are collected and sold or deposited periodically into pits.
Liquid Waste Management:
Liquid and semi-liquid wastes are safely channeled into sealed tanks and are disposed periodically. The
liquid chemical waste coming out of the laboratories is neutralized and disposed safely. The waste water
generated by RO Plants is being channelized into college garden to grow banana grove and a number of
fruit bearing and flowering plants. The college is situated in a low lying area with elevated roads and
residential areas around. As such, every drop of water running down the uplands is likely to flow into the
college ground. Especially, during the rainy season, a lot of rain water floods the campus from all
directions. To hold and absorb this running water, the students of NSS and NCC have dug a number of
Recharge pits/rainwater harvesting pits at all pivotal points in the college and store the water. This water
helps to raise the level of water table for the bore-wells in the college and surrounding areas.
E-waste Management:
Not much e-waste is generated in the institution on a daily basis. The electronic waste in the college
includes discarded electrical or electronic devices such as used electronic parts, burned electric bulbs,
wires, computer peripherals certified broken or unusable. This material is usually set apart for reuse, resale,
salvage, recycling, or disposal. Arrangements for the collection of the condemned e-waste in the college
and disposal through Andhra Pradesh Technology Services Ltd, Government of Andhra Pradesh, are made.

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus
Response:
Rainwater harvesting structures
The Government college, Rajamahendravaram believes in the quote “the running water should be made to
walk and the walking water should be made to crawl and the crawling water should be made to stand” and
takes all possible measures to preserve the rain water. The institution has a built in roof water harvesting
and flood water management through percolation pits. These pits are useful for garden watering as an
alternative to fresh water. There are several other benefits such as providing back up source of water,
reducing erosion of ground, flooding around the building and raising the water table. The main advantage
of these percolation pits is that it requires low upfront capital investment and they are easy to maintain.
The college is situated in a low lying area with elevated roads and residential areas around. As such, every
drop of water running down the uplands is likely to flow into the college ground. Especially, during the
rainy season, a lot of rain water floods the campus from all directions. Percolation pits were successfully
found to be one of the simplest and most effective means of harvesting rainwater.
Percolation Pits
The institution with the help of volunteers from NSS and NCC and members of alumni, has been digging
the 3 large percolation pits at crucial points in the college. They are designed on the basis of expected
gravitational runoff with rocks or block jam and stream sand, secured with punctured solid pieces wherever
essential.
The percolation pits measure 6 X 6 X 6 ft. and can store 692631 cu.mts. amount of water. Small water help
the stray water into the nearest percolation pit. Adequate measures are taken to seal the openings so as to
prevent students and animals to slip into them. Every rainy season, maintenance is undertaken by student
volunteers both to clean the lead channels and to remove the silt from the bottom of the tanks so as to keep
the storage capacity intact.
Roof Water Harvesting:
The Government College, Rajamahendravaram is operating in 5 large buildings with a huge roof top space.
This provides an opportunity to harvest a lot of rain water flowing down the roofs. In the recent renovation
works undertaken from the RUSA funds, the old roof tops were re-made to slope towards one direction
where all the rain water is made to collect and flow down. This water is brought down through pipe lines
and connected to percolation pits. The Chemistry department also utilizes the roof water for some of its lab
purposes.

7.1.19 The institution maintains complete transparency in its financial, academic, administrative and
auxiliary functions
Response:
Government College, Rajahmundry is an autonomous institution run by Government of Andhra Pradesh.

As a policy as well as in practice, a complete transparency is ensured at every level in all its functions.
Beginning from formulation of policies to implementation and reviews to remedial action, there is absolute
openness in financial, academic, administrative and other functions.
Academic Transparency
In matters of teaching and learning, monitoring of student attendance, collecting feedback, introduction of
new courses/programs, design of syllabi, the pattern of question papers, methodology to be adopted, the
allotment of credits, the list of paper setters and examiners and the activities of the department etc,
complete transparency is maintained. The IQAC with Academic Cell initiates necessary procedures for the
conduct of Board of Studies (BoS) meetings. BoS comprises subject experts from the university and other
academic institutions, industrialist, alumni and student nominees. The finalized proposals are placed before
the Academic Council and later the Governing Body for approval. Approved matters are included in the
admission brochures besides placing on the college website.
Admission Transparency:
The entire admission process is completely made online. Admission Dates, Reservation Procedures,

availability of programs, whether conventional or restructured, the number of seats available, the minimum
qualifications for entry and the procedures of selection is placed on the website. Merit lists are generated
based on the academic merit and status of reservation. Seats are filled in accordingly on verifying the
credentials. Fee is remitted instantly in the bank on the very day of admission.
Administrative Transparency:
There are 70 different committees with faculty and students as members. They work at the ground level
and report the implementation of assigned responsibility. Periodical meetings and minutes thereof are
recorded. For instance, the Central Purchasing Committee studies the disbursement of funds under the
specific purpose for which the amount is granted. It closely monitors the procedures to be followed for
purchase. Adhoc committees are formed for conduct of events. Administration regarding various office
matters such as pay bills, increments, issue of TCs and other Certificates is completely automated.
Financial Transparency:

Development Council funds and donations by alumni or public, ground rents, fee for conducting
department and professional examination form the source of finance for the college. Grants are credited
into separate accounts as per the stipulated procedures. Utilization Certificates are being submitted to the
departments concerned from time to time to facilitate further grants. Students’ scholarships are credited
into their accounts. All purchases made for equipment etc. will be scrutinized and passed by the Central
Purchasing Committee consisting of members of senior faculty. All financial matters are scrutinized in
Departmental Audit and the AG audit periodically.
7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)
Response:
Best Practice – 1
1.Title of the Practice:
“Student Centric” Practices to Achieve Graduate Attributes
2. Objectives of the Practice:
To develop an alternate teaching technique to supplement the traditional lecture method to ensure
Page 120/136 21-01-2019 11:59:34

complete student involvement in the teaching-learning process.

To revamp the conventional teaching-learning scenario into a passionate exciting and interactive
exercise by transforming the teacher centric practices into a student centric activities.
To elevate the role of the lecturer into a facilitator and educator from being a passive ‘dispenser of
knowledge.’
To inculcate self-learning techniques among the slow, average and advanced learners by adopting
innovative curricular, co-curricular and extra techniques of pedagogy.
To devise ICT based learner friendly pedagogical tools that empower students with knowledge,
skills and placements.
To broaden the scope of students’ knowledge by twinning learning with community service to
provide the wealth of exposure to outside world.
To introduce a number institutionalized programs and practices to facilitate learning through
participation for the students.
To develop global citizens with Eco-centric ethics and leadership qualities.
3.The Context:
The learning system of Secondary Education in Andhra Pradesh is mostly Teacher Centric with
methods of rote learning, and mugging up material to reproduce the same in the examinations.
There is a strong felt need for a radical shift from the age old chalk and talk method to an integrated
pedagogy for sustainable learning.
The introduction of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) has brought in sweeping changes in the
curriculum. Innovative, application oriented, skill-based courses have taken the front seat and they
cannot be taught by the conventional lecture method alone.
IT revolution, globalization and changing visions and missions of the Government call for reviving
the existing teaching-learning with interdisciplinary knowledge and skill sets to gear up students
from local to global needs.
4. The Practice:
The institution has conducted a series of seminars, workshops and deliberations with senior faculty,
pedagogical experts, and stake holders to develop a set of time tested ICT based student centric
pedagogical tools.
The ICT training for the faculty has been given under the JKC platform while the student centric
methodology has been imparted by certified ELF master trainers, British council, NUPA, IIT
Bombay, APHRD, etc.
The various pedagogical tools such as classroom seminars, Quiz, Field trips, Surveys, Group
discussions, debates, discussions, interviews, case studies, Study projects, etc. to be used in the
classrooms have been included unit wise in the Teaching Plans and reflected in the Teaching
Diaries of the faculty,
Further, the same pedagogical tools such as seminars, projects, quizzes, surveys, assignments and
reports are employed to gauze the student performance in Continuous Internal Assessment for 40%
in every semester.
To involve student in the learning process, the institution has entered into a number of
collaborations and MoUs with industries to facilitate summer projects, internships and training to
provide hands on experience to students.
Page 121/136 21-01-2019 11:59:34

At the classroom level, students are being involved in interactive learning through pair work, group
work, discussions, role-play; case studies, puzzle and problem solving.
To promote student centric learning, the institution has purchased the G suite with 49 apps which
enabled students to take online tests apart from registering themselves in various MOOCs programs
that supplement classroom learning.
The 20 mandatory Certificate Courses and other programs like Seed banks in Biology, Vermi
Compost preparation in Zoology, were started to equip the learner to the market needs.
Values, ethics, and eco-friendly habits, professional etiquette are given along with reinforcing the
subject through Departmental Clubs organized by students themselves under faculty guidance.
Students are made to organize events and conduct quiz, elocution and essay writing competitions to
update and upgrade their learning into skills
Peer learning is promoted by using advanced learners to impart Skill training in JKC and Computer
labs. They also organize Lab to school program, Maths-Fest, Code Contest, Market Fest etc.
The provision of 10 e-classrooms, 3 Digital classrooms and 5 Virtual classrooms are meant to
enhance ICT based student learning along with Studio for recording lessons and live telecast
through YouTube streaming for the benefit of the students.
Adoption of 5 Villages provides a great platform for abundant practical learning to inculcate
leadership qualities among students to develop into global citizens.
LMS is another unique student centric practice to provide access to advanced knowledge from
experts 24/7.
Other student centric practices in vogue are
Bridge courses for freshers
Remedial Coaching for slow learners
Green Army
Earn while you learn (Skilled Guild)
5. Evidence of Success:
Students have welcomed the change as the student centred pedagogy made learning an easy, funny
and exciting task. It is evident in terms of the enhanced confidence levels of students, their
response in the class and their attention to the follow up work.
Teachers have enthusiastically updated their knowledge and skills as required by the new
pedagogy. They are now effectively using Virtual Classrooms, Mana TV and LMS. The Number of
faculty to deliver lectures on Mana TV increased from 3 to 8 now.
The implementation of pedagogy and other student centric practices have started manifesting
themselves in terms of a slight rise in students pass percentage, placements and progression to
higher studies.
The Govt. declared 03 out of 05 adopted villages as ODF is a direct evidence of the success of
student enthusiasm and commitment to participatory learning.
On the whole, the student centric practices have effectively contributed to the attainment of
graduate attributes such as societal concern, lifelong learning, eco-friendliness, tech-savyness,
leadership qualities, soft skills like decision making and team work by the students.
Page 122/136 21-01-2019 11:59:34

6. Obstacles Faced and Problems Encountered:
The rural background of students together with their deep rooted habits of listening to lectures,
taking down notes and mugging up the content to reproduce the same in the examinations posed
initial hurdles to adapt themselves to the ICT based pedagogy and self-learning techniques.
The newly appointed teachers and those past teachers have found it difficult to gear up with the
new pedagogical techniques.
The infrastructural facilities to convert the campus into smart campus with e-classrooms, virtual
classrooms, LMS studios and wi-fi provision involved huge initial investment.
Best Practice - 2
1.Title of the Practice:
Adoption of 5 villages under Institutional Social Responsibility
2. Objectives of the practice:
To select, transform and create 05 model villages by improving the poor socio-economic conditions
and living standards.
To bridge the gap between benefits and beneficiaries by creating awareness among the people on
various Government and non-Government welfare schemes.
To involve students in conducting socio-economic surveys in 05 adopted villages as part of their
field activity having a direct bearing on their curriculum so that while promoting a social cause,
students will enhance their social skills, communication skills and soft skills qualifying them for
employable skills.
To developing awareness among villagers by NSS volunteers on latest break throughs in
agriculture, watershed management, wasteland development, non-conventional energy, low cost
housing, sanitation, nutrition and personal hygiene, skill development programs, income generating
government schemes, Environment and Energy Conservation, Education, legal aid, consumer
protection, anti drug addition, AIDS, Preventive measures against fevers like Dengue, Swine Flu,
Malaria etc.
To transmit the spirit of Govt. sponsored programs for rural development such as Swachch Bharat,
Ayushman Bharat, Accessible India, Digital India, Made in India, Beti Bachao and Beti Padhao,
Nava Nirmana Diksha, Janma Bhoomi – Maa Vuru, Grama Darshini etc. to the villagers.
To develop leadership qualities, social responsibility, analytical skills and innovative thinking
among students.
3. The Context:
Increasing competitive environment and mechanical learning have deprived the present day
students of the opportunity to involve and learn by actively participating in community service.
Page 123/136 21-01-2019 11:59:34

Growing tendency among the students that the sole purpose of education is getting high paid jobs,
earning money and settling abroad without any concern for community development.
Whole sale rural migration to urban areas due to unprofitable agricultural ventures, lack of
awareness of opportunities, poor entrepreneurship and little or no counselling.
A wide spread despondency, passivity, fatalism and helpless attitude among the villagers make
them drag their existence amidst squalor, suffering disease and death.
4.The practice:
After a taking into account the newspaper reports, Government Surveys, distance and accessibility
of the villages and the nature of problems being encountered, the following 05 villages are adopted
by the college.
Katheru
Kolamur
Gadala
Pidungoyyi
Hukumpet
The faculty and NSS volunteers met the Sarpanches, Panchayat Secretaries, ward members, village
school masters and other NGOs in the village, discussed the burning problems and appraised them
of the mission for the all-round development of village.
The students have conducted a door-to-door survey in each of the 5 villages to take stock of
situation to chalk out a comprehensive mission.
Students inspected every nook and corner of the villages and convinced people of the dirty,
unhygienic surroundings and unclean habits and the resultant ill health and suggested easy and cost
effective solutions such as safe disposal of wet and dry wastes, protected drinking water etc.
The college cultural wing brought awareness among the villagers through the song and dances they
have composed on various issues such as clean and green, health and hygiene, women
empowerment, nutritious food, anti-liquor and anti-tobacco consumption, need for women to learn
self-defence techniques, etc.
The staff and students have successfully conducted Swatchh Bharat, Janma Bhoomi - Maa Vuru
(Birth Place – My Village), Domalapai Dandayatra (Raid against mosquitoes), ODF Villages etc.
Nava Nirmana Diksha (The Vow of newly Building the State) is a week long program during
which, the students visited the village every day and organised enlightening talks by Resource
Persons, Counsellors, specialists and doctors to create awareness to the villagers on agriculture,
watershed management, wasteland development, use of non-conventional energy, low cost housing,
sanitation etc. and pamphlets designed and distributed to the public for a better understanding.
“Grama Darshini” is another sensitization program conducted by Govt. of AP during 2018 in which
students have taken active role at the Mandal, District levels. They have successfully conveyed the
message of social empowerment and popularized various development schemes launched by the
Government through their song and dance.
Page 124/136 21-01-2019 11:59:34

5. Evidence of Success:
Swachch Bharat and Janma Bhoomi-Maa Vuru Program organised by the NSS teams in the
adopted villages have brought laurels to this institution when 03 villages were recognised ODF by
Government of AP.
The staff and students are 100% successful in achieving Social integration among the villagers who
frequently experienced non-cooperation and disunity. Cutting across the lines of castes, religions
and local politics they have enthusiastically involved in “Swachhta Hi Seva” to undertake
Shramdaan for cleanliness and construction of toilets and making their environments free from
open defecation.
All the deserving villagers were helped to receive fruits of government schemes through the
awareness and assistance of our student volunteers
A noticeable change in Greenery of adopted villages after the rallies and awareness programs,
‘Vanam- Manam’ (We and Our Forests) ‘Neeru - Chettu ( Water - Plant), Clean and Green’
programs rises the morale for further initiation of activities on these lines.
The whole program has brought cognizable positive change in the attitude of our students. Their
Leadership qualities, self-confidence, Public Speaking, Problem Solving and Team Work have
improved a great deal.
6. Obstacles faced and Problems encountered:
Though the students have succeeded in motivating the rural youth towards mechanization of
agriculture, health and hygiene, skill development and environment concern, older generations
above the age of 50 are conservative and and need more time for transformation as most of them
are orthodox.
There is a problem of poor integration between the Government and the NGO agencies in the
implementation of various beneficial schemes in rural areas. This has resulted in duplicity and
redundancy. Efforts need to be directed towards creating a separate and well defined area of work
for each so that when put together it becomes a comprehensive plan for rural development.
