FOREWORD
We, the Principal and the staff members of Arts, Commerce & Science College,
Nandgaon have great pleasure in humbly submitting the NAAC Re-accreditation
Report to the NAAC, Bangalore.
We are fully aware of the fact that evaluation and testing are the areas of
specialization and need special abilities and knowledge that come out from
constant efforts over the years to maintain the quality in the given task.
We have been benefited from the past NAAC accreditation and
assessment. During the last five years we tried our level best to improve
ourselves in all the academic spheres. We wish to specially mention our efforts
in the field of research. Taking reviews of the previous experiences and
implementing the modifications, the college is constantly leading on the path of
academic excellence. Going hand in hand with the vision and mission of the
University and our parent institution, we have been putting in all the efforts to
provide quality higher education to prepare our students to face the
complexities created by the demands of the globalized world.
In this report we have put in sincere efforts for assessing our working and
achievements which have made us know our strengths and areas needing
improvement. We welcome your specialized feedback and assure that all will be
worked upon effectively in the near future.
We believe this report provides a vivid picture of our performance which is being
assessed by the NAAC Peer Team.

The college had its first Assessment and Accreditation in December 2003 and was
awarded the grade at 'B' level. Now, we feel that the re-accreditation is an opportunity for us to
introspect ourselves and mark the level of our achievements. It may help us to chalk out the plan
for the future advancements too. We would like to put forth a record of our college with its
geographical location, academic status, administrative strategies, and its goal-oriented moves in
brief.
Nandgaon is a small town in Nashik District of Maharashtra State. Its population, is
nearabout 27000. It is a tehsil place located in the eastern part of the district. It can be looked
upon as a remote rural place as its distance from Nashik, Pune and Mumbai is 112 kms., 300
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
3
kms. and 286 kms. respectively. Besides this, Nandgaon lies in the rural drought-prone area
where the people suffer from acute scarcity of water. The average rainfall in this area is only 550
mm. i.e. 21.65 inches per year. The figures of the average rainfall for the last four years reflect
the same truth:
Year Rainfall (in mms.)
2005-2006 : 831.03
2006-2007 : 627.02
2007-2008 : 672.00
2008-2009 : 790.00
2009-2010 : 520.00 (Source : Record of the Panchayat Samiti, Nandgaon)
The fact that out of the total 100 villages 56 villages receive drinking water under the
scheme of “Maharashtra Jivan Pradhikaran”, also corroborates the above fact. Nandgaon is
devoid of any industrial area. There are a few small scale private industries named Priya Neel
and Washing Powder, Bemko Sleepers (which runs intermittently due to severe labour
problems), Silkeshine Shampoo, Sunanda Industries, Rainbow Paints, etc. employing not more
than four or five hundred people in all. There are approximately 30 high schools in the whole
tehsil of which four are located in Nandgaon proper. One of the four is Urdu medium high
school providing education to a small Muslim population which resides in the town. Nandgaon
is a small station on Central Railway line and 24 kms. away from Manmad Railway Junction.
Moreover, the student population of the college belongs to the middle class and the lower
middle class. Many of the students come from the family of farmers with small land- holdings,
and farm labour and most of them are under the category of ‘first learner generation’. These
students commute from the nearby villages. To impart the educational training to the rural farmer
families, the institution had decided to run a college at Nandgaon.
This College was established in the year 1972 as a degree College offering various
courses in traditional disciplines like Arts and Commerce. At juvenile stage the college had
shared the building of New English School, Nandgaon which is a sister institute run by the same
Management. In 1987, the college was shifted to the existing building. Later on in the year 1992
it started its Science faculty. Since 1984, the college has been recognized under the UGC sections
F(2) and 12 (B). At present the College is considered to be one of the premier colleges in this
area having reasonably good infrastructure and necessary facilities and support services. It is now
permanently affiliated to the University of Pune. The motto of the parent Society i.e. M.V.P.

Samaj and the College is "Bahujan Hitay Bhahujan Sukhay" (for the betterment of all and for
the happiness of all).
Having linked with the motto of the parent institution, the college aims at providing
higher education and all round development of the students from the rural area in general and
around Nandgaon tehsil in particular.
The faculty of Arts offers Marathi, English, Hindi, Economics, Politics, Geography as
special subjects at degree level and Public Administration and History of Civilization at general
level in addition to the above special level subjects. In the year 2001-2002 the college started
post-graduate department of Marathi. The Commerce faculty offers Marketing and Salesmanship,
Business Entrepreneurship, Cooperation, Commercial Geography, Principles and Functions of
Management, Corporate Accounting, Business Economics, Elements of Company Law, Business
Communication, Cost and Works Accounting, Computer Application, Business Regulatory
Framework, Advanced Accountancy, International Economics, Auditing and Taxation.
The Science faculty offers Chemistry, Physics and Botany at principal level, and Zoology
and Mathematics at general level.
The College is housed in a spacious building having required laboratories and
independent building for science faculty. The library is having all other essential amenities. The
college also has a hostel for girls.
The Goals of the College
The college has been constantly striving
to impart quality based higher education to the academically underprivileged and down-
trodden people in the rural area and bring them into the mainstream of the society.
to develop responsible and sensitive youth having social commitment.
to broaden the vision so that the youth have a panoramic view of the society.
to create human resources with modern view and foresight which can adapt themselves to the
modern technology and strive for the well-being and development of the country.
to inculcate values enshrined in the Constitution of India.
This college has been trying to keep pace with the progress of the contemporary
educational and national zeal. It is grouped in the rural areas since the inhabitants belong to the
farmer families, scheduled castes and tribes, socially and economically backward classes who
require some starting push in the form of academic and civilized diffusion for their upliftment.
The motto of the MVP Samaj’s is ‘Bahujan Hitay Bahujana Sukhay’ i.e. ‘for the happiness and
benefits of the Masses.’ This college has geared up to reach at the promises made in the form of
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
5
the objectives in the first Assessment and Accreditation experienced in December, 2004. The
present evaluative report would be the evidence of our constant efforts and views on changing
world with changing demands that the curricular and extra-curricular activities carried out in that
line during the report period of five years. We are aware of the national, ethical and cultural
values. By promoting the use of modern technology (ICT), we attempt to foster the global
competence among the students and contribute to the national development. For that the college
has always been involved in the academic and socio-cultural activities which bear the elements of
developmental education.
We always look forward to having the strategy for generating the human resources which
satisfy our internal need for the skilled human power. We organize higher education to educate
students in competence and skills to succeed in an interdependent world. We make pro-active
efforts to attract young members from the disadvantaged or adivasi groups into the mainstream of
higher education by devising well-designed and consistent remedial support both at the academic
as well as the financial level. These efforts could be better contribution to caring of equity
considerations. Emerging national needs require quality education and to promote quality
consciousness, we try at our level best to create a more open and flexible educational structure by
using the student oriented policies in academic and extension activities. The following executive
summary may disclose the important aspects of the college that are reflected in the previous data
depicted in the profile.
An Executive Summary Since its establishment in 1972, this college has its dynamicity at all levels. One level is its
infrastructure and other is its academic expansion and extension. Initially, it was Arts and
Commerce College only. Now there is a full-fledged degree college in Arts, Commerce and
Science streams.
The present report could be the most reliable record of the academic and socio-cultural
activities conducted in its periphery by the college during last five years. The criterion-wise
evaluation shows that the college has been trying its level best to pave ways through many
hurdles in the forms of economic and academic limitations.
The Curriculum Design and its implementation are the core of all academic activities
which have been the basics of establishing and maintaining the excellence in teaching and
learning practices. All the programmes viz B.A., B.Com., B.Sc. and M.A. have more of skill
content rather than knowledge content. All this requires a kind of adaptation of a new strategy to
cope with the circumstances to bring the values of higher education into actual reality as an

outcome. Without any compromise in quality, we try to uplift our learners to the mark of general
standard as the University curriculum designer expected and our mission statement reflects. For
that we have an allotment of work for keeping us updated by ascribing the responsibilities. The
faculty and the students are included in the process of decision making and implementation of
activities planned and proposed by the University and the parent institution. The parent
institution plays a very important role in making the curriculum need-based. There is a
centralized procedure of systematization of syllabus-division, teaching-learning practices,
intermediate assessment and evaluation, and proper feedback. Even in the process of syllabus
designing at the university level, the faculty have been representing us by considering the local
requirements. Though we have limitations in offering academic flexibility in terms of different
programmes and course choice, there are several ways of making the academic activities student-
oriented. The college obtains feedback from the students, parents and community to verify the
practicality and validity of the programmes.
The best practices in Teaching-Learning Practices are the transparency in the admission
process by proper publicity through prospectus, local newspapers and website. The remedial
teaching and need-based teaching-learning practices are habitual for us. The book-banks and
study materials have been circulated among the students. The relevance of subject knowledge has
been proved through practical sessions and demonstrations. The teachers have teaching plans,
diary, students’ attendance sheets, and academic calendar to keep up their particularity. For the
faculty improvements, the teachers, non-teaching staff have been allowed to attend and
participate in the seminars, workshops and training programmes to improve quality.
The Computer-aided Commerce and language laboratories are the modern teaching aids
used for effective learning. In addition to the University of Pune examination and result patterns,
we have an internal assessment and evaluation process. It has been carried out by adopting the
centralized method at the Institutional level for all the colleges regularly.
The co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are the markers of the innovative and
supporting practices to improve the academic standard and the learner-oriented strategies of the
college. These are achieved through the organization of seminars, workshops, personality and
Soft-skills Development Programmes, visits and interactions with the experts from different areas
of subject-knowledge and fields of education and employment. During the last five years, no year
has been passed without any seminars and workshops in a subject or discipline. In 2006-07 one
seminar, 2007-08 two seminars, 2008-09 five, and 2009-10 four seminars were organized.
Besides these seminars, the guest lecture series were also arranged for updating the subject
knowledge and information about the relevance of the courses. The training courses, camps and

cultural activities are conducted to encourage the learners to enrich their latent potential through
these programmes.
The college has its limitations in bringing about any advancement in terms of ‘Research
Consultancy and Extension Activities’ for the students and the UG class students are least related
to the research activities. However, for the sake of the faculty improvement and quality
enhancement, the college and the MVP Samaj have been very particular to insist on these
activities to be supported meticulously. Both morally and financially, the researchers have been
encouraged. Among the college faculty, 7 M.Phil degree holders, 5 Ph.D. holders and 3 appeared
for Ph.D. degree in the University of Pune and North Maharashtra University. Prin. Dr. D. B.
Shinde (Commerce) Dr. R. K. Deore (Marathi), Dr. Uddhav A. Ashturkar (English), and Dr. G.
H. Jain (Physics) have been engaged in research guidance and providing expertise to the co-
curricular activities as resource persons. Dr. Uddhav A. Ashturkar and Dr. G. H. Jain have been
doing work on the Major Research Projects funded by UGC, New Delhi.
The College has almost solved the problem of the ‘Infrastructure and Learning Resources’
with many efforts. The optimum use the infrastructure has been observed to make most of the co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities possible. The land admeasuring the area 8.6 acres
occupied with 2502 sq. metres construction and remaining amenities with open space and
playground facilities are available on the campus. The building contains the 12 classrooms,
library, NSS Section, College Canteen, Non-resident Centre, Audio-visual Cell, Commerce
Laboratory, Girls’ Hostel, Science Building, Administrative Office, Principal’s office, Vice-
Principal’s cabin, Store Room, computer laboratory, Gymkhana office, ladies common room,
staff room, language room, and sanitary blocks, Parking Shade, and 400 mtr track with kabbadi,
kho-kho, volleyball, and badminton courts and playgrounds for athletics. Ever increasing
requirements of the infrastructure will be satisfied within a short period of time. However, with
the collaboration of the Taluka Sports Office, more sports facilities and accommodation
arrangements have been made whenever needed. The parent institute is always keen to support us
with financial assistance whenever required.
The college has created its place amongst the public of the area by adopting the strategy of
cooperation and caretaking so that ‘Student Support and Progression’ has been worth-
considering. Everything is student-oriented and society-oriented, by involving or excluding them.
The fee-structure, freeships, scholarships, concessions, financial aids, insurance, counselling,
guidance and placement, career-orientation, quasi-professional coaching, communication skills in
English, soft-skills development programme, personality development, women empowerment,
and over all progression of the students have been the regular practices of our college. For that
the alumni association, and the local stakeholders have been included and have created the

homely feelings to reach at our goals fixed. The MVP Samaj has always backboned us
financially and morally to carry out all such students and community welfare activities. The
students from all the colleges run by the parent institution have been brought together purposely
through the camps, competitions, sports, and different socio-cultural activities organized at the
MVP Samaj level to have general exchange of views and interactions on the current issues or
recent demands of the world. Their requirements or progress have been measured by adopting the
systems of feedback mechanism. All these practices could help for quality enhancement and
academic excellence.
Under the criterion ‘Governance and Leadership,’ there is a notable aspect of leadership,
management, and governance quality of the college and the MVP Samaj. The management
mechanism is both democratic and community-oriented. All factors related to, or affiliated to the
college and the Samaj, have been involved into the process of administration and healthy
practices. The recruitments of the faculty and the staff, administrative strategies, financial
provisions, feedback and mechanism for improving academic and administrative qualities and the
grievance redressal cell and central administrative system of the MVP Samaj are the most high-
lighting aspects of the college in particular. The transparency in administration, decision making,
and admission process has been the best practice. There are the two levels of auditing – one is at
the internal (institute level) and the other is at the government level regularly.
The College has ‘Innovative Practices’ through the active role of the IQAC, the LMC, and
the Alumni association. The management and the college administrative bodies have been very
sensitive to enhance quality. The students, parents, stakeholders, community, and the
management jointly work out for improving quality. The academic and extra-curricular activities
and the administrative practices are properly co-ordinated and concurred. All the authorities go
through feedback of the academic and administrative performance and the general policy is
determined to remove the difficulties and redressing the problems if any. The LMC president Mr.
Dilip Raghunath Patil and other members have always been active and cooperative to achieve the
goals set by the college.
In short, the college has been functioning on the proper line of actions and keeping the
pace with the changing local, national, and international scenario. Attempts have been made in
the direction of adjusting all the academic and socio-cultural activities to match with and
maintain the national and cultural values which are expected through the higher education system
in India. The details of all these aspects are given in the following criterion-wise description. We
hope that this may be satisfactory.

CRITERION-WISE EVALUATIVE REPORT
CRITERION-WISE EVALUATIVE REPORT
This part of the report is a reflection of the specific information and key aspects of the
college to claim the qualities and quantities as its strengths, beside its weaknesses. Each of the
criteria has been illustrated with our aims and objectives, events and activities, reasons and
results, and evidenced authentically to make the report reliable and worth considerable for
accreditation.
Criterion – I : Curricular Aspects Criterion-I– Curricular Aspects
1.1.- Curriculum Design and Development
This college has been working in the rural area for the disadvantaged people. By following
the footprints of the fathers, great social reformers, karmaveers and pioneers of the Maratha
Vidya Prasarak Samaj, Nashik we always think of the benefits and well-being of the masses; so it
has been the goal of our every academic and socio-cultural activity carried out in the college. The
faculty, the students, the parents and the management have the identical views and ideas. The
vision and mission statement of the college given below are the explanation of the motto of the
parent institution i.e. Education for the masses.
1.1.1 State the vision and mission of the institution, and how it is communicated to the
students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders?
MISSION STATEMENT
"Our responsibility is to make wise, responsible and law-abiding citizens with life-
respecting disposition out of the rural students in collaboration with the society in general.”
Our Vision

of their intellectual, academic and physical abilities.

This mission statement and visions are circulated primarily through the prospectus which
is the first document that every student gets on the very first day of college. It is displayed on the
notice-board to have its glimpse to all viewers. It is also hung in the corridor at the entrance to be
before the eyes of the beneficiaries. They are communicated to the teachers, the staff and
stakeholders via the photostat copies in the first meeting.
1.1.2. How does the mission statement reflect the institution’s distinctive characteristics in
terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, institution’s
traditions and value orientation?
The mission statement reflects the distinctive characteristics of the college in terms of the
addressing needs of the society. Now-a-days, society especially the rural, backward, community,
requires upliftment and it is possible only when it has the youth of courage, capacity and
confidence; and it is possible only when they have the skills and abilities of converting
information into knowledge by translating it into wisdom. The life values, the relevant ideas and
opinions extracted from learning could be the tools to fight the battle of life in the present world.
And this is our responsibility to be shouldered all times through our tasks of motivating the
learners to reach the goal set by the higher education. As stated earlier that the parent institution
at large strives for the masses and the backward people and makes them aware of their existence
and role to be played in the setup of the country. This is our tradition that is derived from the
founder stalwarts of the Samaj. The native and national values have been established and
maintained through the celebration and sustenance of the age-traditions at the local and national
level. We make the learners aware of the cultural and social values for building their own
personalities for building of the nation. These values are referred to in the mission statement and
the vision listed above.
1.1.3. Are the academic programmes in line with the institution’s goals and objectives? If
yes, give details on how the curricula developed, address the needs, of the society and have
relevance to the regional/ national/ global trends and developmental needs?
The academic programmes such B.A., B. Com., B.Sc. and M.A. are certainly in the line
with the institution’s goals and objectives. The curricula designed and developed by the
University of Pune with the help of its various Boards of studies in each faculty and subject made
available in each of the disciplines. The co-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities
make it possible to bring the issues and requirements into discussion; and the solutions or
remedies have been suggested directly or indirectly through the schemes and events conducted in
the college. For instance, the democratic principles of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice have
been practiced through the functioning of the college in terms of admission, celebration of
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
11
anniversaries of national leaders, freedom fighters and social reformers to mark their greatness in
particular and to socio-cultural values in general. It is done in addition to the syllabus prescribed
for the students of Political Science and History of Civilization. The curricula of Marathi, Hindi
and English language and literature encompass the regional, national and global needs through
the texts and generate the spirit and urge for the social and national conservation and progress
too. The problems of discriminations at the economic, social, and castes or religion level have
been pointed out to be irrational and beastly qualities and the learners are convinced to remove
these social evils through the social awareness campaigning programmes, through lecture series
and demonstration rally shows on the celebration of national festivals.
The founders of the parent institution (formerly known as ‘Udoji Maratha Boarding’) now
called ‘Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj,’ Karmaveer Raosaheb Thorat, Karmaveer Bhausaheb
Hirey, Karmaveer Annasaheb Murkute, and so on propounded the germs of social reformation
besides the political freedom, for the national integration and development, and concentrated on
the diffusion of education to all levels of common people society. We have a long glorious
heritage of such selflessly devoted personalities who rendered their yeomen service to the
common people. We recognize the present needs of information technology and communication
through English; we mould the minds of the disadvantaged to turn towards the higher education
of ICT. As we have the science discipline and a separate department of Computer Science, we
manage to have computer training and eligibility of operating the computers. We a computer
laboratory equipped with 22 computers with internet terminals. This may bridge a gap between
the weaker sections and the forward classes of the society. Through the power point presentation
and internet facilities, we expose our students to the new trends and ways of communication and
global studies.
The Soft-Skills Development programmes and personality development lectures have
been organized meticulously and the disadvantaged students have been introduced to the new
values of socio-cultural life and needs of corporate world around. All the aspects of developed
personality and new devices of adding to self-development are the areas enlisted in these
programmes as the University of Pune has introduced these schemes for finding the right spirit of
the youth and boosting to enlarge their potentials in the form of full-fledged personalities. The
interview techniques, communication skills, transactional analysis, goal-setting, personality
development, SWOT analysis, time management, body-language, public speaking, intelligence
and creativity and group discussion as a skill of communication etc. are the contents to enrich
their personality through the Soft Skills Development Programme in the college. The
presentation and interaction sessions are the teaching skills which develop the students’
personalities for making them able and capable beings. The debating, elocution, poetry recital,
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
12
essay-writing, simulation and dramatization are the co-curricular activities conducted regularly.
For instance, the Annual Youth Week Function is celebrated by organizing the competitions and
games and prizes are distributed to felicitate and inspire the learners.
The ‘Environmental Awareness’ is the newly introduced compulsory course at the Second
year of all the streams. Our students of B.A., B.Com., and B.Sc. have to complete a project report
on an environmental problem or issue and suggest a solution or recommend the optional ways of
avoiding the man-made or natural calamities such as deforestation, air-water and soil pollution,
unhygienic living conditions due to industrialization and mechanization of production
procedures, decrease of ozone layer and problem of environmental equilibrium, overuse of
polythene or plastic and new style of social behaviour etc. These problems are highlighted
through the teaching of the subject.
To support it, we have some regular awareness programmes like the National Service
Scheme (NSS) and Student Welfare Scheme to create an understanding ourselves to help solving
their personal problems with their involvement or active participation. Through the regular
activities and camping programmes of NSS the college can keep free access to the
disadvantaged, and villagers who need to have new refined ideas and reformative views to
galvanize their age-old darkened life situations. During the last five years, the college has
organized the Special Winter Camping Programmes by determining the themes like tree-
plantation, Social forestry, Water management, Eradication of Superstitions and black magic
notions, Free from Open Sanitation and cleanliness, and significance of service to man and
society. Under the Student Welfare Scheme of the University of Pune, we implement the ‘Earn
and Learn’ scheme for the needy and economically backward students for two purposes. One is
to provide them a little financial help and the other is to let them know their personal abilities,
value of money, and self-development.
Thus, to accompany the curricula, the extra-curricular and extension activities could be the
major accessible events to bring the mission and vision of the college into reality.
1.1.4. How does the curriculum cater to inclusion /integration of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) in the curriculum, for equipping to compete in the
global employment markets?
The curriculum caters to inclusion or integration of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in the curriculum. Now-a-days, the use of computer and internet has become
an essential practice. The faculty of all the streams have been making use of the audio-visual
equipments to introduce the students to the requirements of the new era of technology. The
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report

computer illiteracy has been the drawback of the traditional society; and the process of
globalization and liberalization has made it mandatory to have the ICT competence in the
students to compete in the global employment markets. The deliberate use of LCD and
Computers make the learner bold enough to face the modern market situations.
1.1.5. Specify the initiatives and contributions of the institution in the curriculum design
and development process. (Need assessment, development of information database,
feedback from faculty, students, alumni, employees and academic peers, and
communicating the information and feedback for appropriate inclusion and decisions in
statutory academic bodies, Membership of BOS and by sending agenda items etc.)
Actually no college that affiliated to the University of Pune has any direct role to play in
the curriculum design and development process, since the Board of studies have been the
authoritative bodies in this regard. The faculty, elected or nominated from different affiliated
colleges, are the members of the BOS in the subjects frame the syllabi as per the norms and
directives laid down by the University Grants Commission. However, before framing the syllabi,
the BOS invites views and suggestions from the experienced faculty from different colleges from
different areas and social settings on nature and content of them at the specific level. Prin. Dr. D.
B. Shinde (Commerce), Dr. R. K. Deore (Marathi), Prof. A. T. Kasabe (Political Science), Prof.
S. A. Marathe (Political Science) and Dr. G. H. Jain (Physics) have contributed to the framing of
the syllabus of their concerned subjects in the University of Pune and have been playing the vital
role in developing the curriculum by prescribing the syllabi relevant and essential to the students
from the rural as well as the urban area for setting them competent in the employment markets.
The rest of the faculty members participate in the seminars and workshops on syllabus framing
organized by the university authorities to collect views and requirements of the society and
employers.
The process of syllabus framing has been made realistic and need-based through the
assessment of needs and recommendations made by the experts of the subjects. The college tries
to involve the alumni and academic peers, faculty, and the community. The teachers have taken
initiatives and contributed a lot in the process of curriculum design by putting their ideas as
agenda items before the decision taking bodies of the university.
1.2. Academic Flexibility
1.2.1 What are the range of programmes options available to learners in terms of Degrees,
Certificates and Diplomas?
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
14
Academic flexibility has been observed in terms of the options of programmes made
available to the learners in the college. The college has the 4 programmes- B.A., B.Com. B.Sc.
and M.A. degrees, and the groups and optional subjects have been given in the syllabi. The
course options and the range of the programmes have been prescribed and restricted by the
University of Pune. The grouping and alternatives have been decided as the course design and the
learners have to offer the course and its subjects of their choice in the given limitations. The
question paper patterns and examination systems, process of assessment and evaluation,
qualifying percentage and ordinances for grace marks and the A.T.K.T. rules are given
readymade and there is no choice at all. Besides these four options of programmes, we are
permitted to start M.A. in Political Science from the year 2010-2011on no-grant basis by the
Govt. of Maharashtra. This addition would be beneficial to the students from this area, since
there is no other college in the taluka offering this course. The range of programmes will be
increased and it will more beneficial to the region. Because of social poverty, the college cannot
afford to start any certificate or diploma course as such courses are mostly the high charges
courses; and the students from this area are not in a position to pay.
1.2.2. Give details on the following provisions with reference to academic flexibility, value
addition and course enrichment:
To explain the academic flexibility and the range of programmes available in the college,
the position of courses and subjects, would define the validity and practicability of the system

possibly implemented.
e) Flexibility to the students
Moving from Science to Commerce or from Commerce to Arts discipline is allowed as the
University of Pune allows. But no student can move from Arts to Commerce or Science.
Moreover, any graduate can be admitted to M.A.
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
26
f) Flexibility to pursue the programme
The programmes like B.A., B.Com or B.Sc. with reference to the time frame is compared
as all the programmes have the same time span for completion i.e. the period of consecutive three
complete academic years.
1.2.4. Does the institution offer any self-financed programmes in the institution? If yes, list
them and indicate how they differ from other programmes, with reference to admission,
curriculum, fee structure, teacher qualification and salary etc.
NO
1.3. Feedback on Curriculum
1.3.1. How does the college obtain feedback on curriculum from-
a) Students:-
Every year, the teachers spend some periods for raising the students consciousness
regarding the texts prescribed that they come across initially. Then at the term end, their reactions
are being considered and sent to the statutory bodies working on framing syllabus to reach at the
objectives set in the curriculum. The feedback is taken orally from the students throughout the
year.
b) Alumni:-
The alumni association has its regular meetings during the academic year at least twice;
and their feedback is taken through the formal discussion at the meeting. They add their own
experiences. For example, the emphasis of communicative English has been the need of the day
and so the text-book should be more of communication skills and less of the theory-based units.
Such suggestions have been made by the alumni. The teaching of accountancy and Banking in
the B.Com course should be practice-oriented. These suggestions and other discussions are
recorded in the alumni minutes of meetings.
c) Parents:-
There are no formal systems practised in the college. Still, the parents have been in contact
with the teachers and they know the curriculum that is revised intermittently to update its
relevance and validity.
d) Employers/Industries:
The College organizes the demonstrations or guidance sessions for motivating the students
to prepare themselves to get into certain jobs that they deserve. While considering the
performances of the students, the employers such as the bank officers and officials from the
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
27
Police department came to interact with our students, they seemed to be satisfied with the present
curriculum.
The most considerable thing is that the Boards of Studies (BoS) of each of the departments
are formed by involving at least one member from the industries, business or corporate world.
They could provide their expertise to design curriculum by considering the present requirements
and practicability of the subjects for making careers and earning one’s living.
e) Academic peers:
The College ensures that the aims and objectives of the curriculum are to be matching to
academic standards determined by all academics. The seminars and workshops are conducted by
the college to have views on the curriculum, the gradation of teaching materials, the difficulty-
level of content, and methods of testing and evaluation. All these stages of curriculum are
discussed and reached at some fruitful conclusions.
f) Community:
Informally, the community that concerns has been a keen observer of the practices and
results of the college education. When the passed out learners could get good jobs, or their
parents feel satisfied with the learning and mental skilful training of their wards that they acquire
for making lives full of solace; then the curriculum appears to be fruitful and this is the actual
feedback of the community.
1.3.2. How is the above feedback analyzed and the outcome/suggestions used for continuous
improvements, and communicated to the affiliating university for appropriate inclusion?
The formal ways of obtaining feedback from the students, alumni, and academic peers are
properly noted and considered for the improvements in the curriculum. The Principal, the Vice
Prin. and the shift-in-charge have formed a committee to look into the verbal feedback obtained
from the students. The strengths and weaknesses are pointed out and they are properly brought to
the notice of the respective faculty. The committee suggests remedies for overcoming the
lacunas. The improvements are made continuously as per the valuable and useful suggestions.
Those views and recommendations are communicated to the makers of the curriculum of the
University of Pune to have the discussion and accordingly the inclusion of the expected topics or
deletion of unnecessary area of studies could be done from time to time.

1.4. Curriculum Update
1.4.1. What are the frequency and the basis for syllabus revision and what are the major
revisions made during the two years?
The college has been completely dependent on the University of Pune to have changes or
the revision in the curriculum. The University functions as per the UGC rules and conditions for
maintaining quality and excellence in higher education. The University of Pune has the BOS in
all the subjects and they have rights to revise the syllabus with proper consent of the Academic
Council. After every three years, normally such revision takes place. The basis for syllabus
revision is to update the curriculum, and for that inclusion of the suggestions and
recommendations have been considered to make the syllabus student-oriented and need-based.
The major revisions in the syllabi have been made during the last two years. The curricula
of all the programmes are changed. Those changes in all subjects are as follows:

1.4.2. How does the institution ensure that the curriculum bears a thrust on core values
adopted by NAAC?
The revised curriculum certainly bears a thrust on core values such as National
development, global competence; inculcate value system, use of ICT and the quest for
excellence. The course contents and the aims and objectives of the subjects reflect the same. The
teaching methodology and the evaluation patterns also correlate the ideas behind the core values.
The curriculum includes the subjects, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities; the contents
like communication and the application of the information are the classroom activities which
have been of considerable significance while referring to the usefulness of higher education.
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report

Each of the subjects has been carrying the burden of national development in terms of
individual personality development, enriching one’s economic position, social commitments,
social justice, ensuring equity, and contributing to the nation through personal devotion and duty-
consciousness. For example, the subjects in the Arts faculty are the sources of human
development. The language subjects like Marathi, Hindi, and English are taught with the purpose
of making students aware of the different communicative skills, and developing among them an
ability to effectively communicate in English, both in written and spoken modes. It is also the
objective to develop linguistic and pragmatic competence among the students and to prepare
them to develop competence for self-learning. There is an objective to encourage and enable the
students to read various types of texts on their own and discuss them among the peers. The
literature papers are there to acquaint the learners with the forms of literature and to initiate them
into the first hand experience of reading literary texts to impart the skills and develop an ability
of using English and other languages for effective communication. The teachers are guided to
motivate the learners to grapple with the language and the context of each text on their own and
discover the joy of reading literature. The curiosity-rousing questions before the teaching of the
text followed by discussion-sessions to highlight thematic and linguistic aspects of the literary
piece would be a fruitful method of dealing with the texts. The subjects included in the mental
and moral sciences like Economics, Geography, History of Civilization, Politics, etc. are taught
with objectives to acquaint the students with the theories and practices in the present human life
transactions and political policies. To inculcate the socio-cultural aspects as the values of society,
nation and the world in the mind of the youth, these subjects help building up their personalities
and making them aware of national and international social, economic, cultural and political
affairs. For instance, the celebration of ‘Marathi Day’, ‘Hindi Day’ and other Day cultures are to
add to the cultural values. The Business Communication in the faculty of Commerce is to provide
perspectives on the business affairs and the characteristic features of the corporate world and
business administration. The students are introduced to the strategies and norms of the business
enterprises to make them capable to enter the commercial ventures. The economic and social
values are pointed out to be adopted to become the successful economic citizens.
To achieve core competence and face global requirements, every student is made
creative, innovative, and industrious in approach by using ICT in teaching-learning and healthy
practices. For instance, the communication and presentation skills development, and creativity
apprenticeship are the necessary stages which are taken care of in the college. The Arts,
Commerce and Science disciplines are basically meant for the development of human beings at
the mental, moral, cultural and scientific (attitude) level of personality.
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report

The students should relate the actual life conditions to the values that they prefer, or
should adopt. The common necessary values like cooperation and mutual understanding have
been inculcated and as they are taught since the primary education are to be continued during the
higher education. This aspect is looked after by conducting social and cultural functions in the
college through various competitions like debating, elocution, essay writing, singing, poetry
recital, communal get-together and study tours, camping programmes and joint activities in the
schemes like NSS, Earn and Learn Scheme, Annual Youth Week, seminars and workshops, etc.
These are the blue-print activities to project the life situations or necessities in the college.
The college has a well-equipped computer laboratory with 22 computers. Even it is
mandatory that every teacher should make use of CDs, VCDs, LCD projector, computer
programmes, and Internet facilities to imbibe the attraction and competence of using the devices
of information technology. Use of technology is preferred in teaching-learning process, storing
information and managing it for making life successfully worth-living, and communicating faster
than ever to everyone around us.
It is the SWOT analysis of the individuals who make the college to gauge the success rate,
evaluate regular academic and co-curricular activities, and find out the strengths and weaknesses
to improve continuously. For instance, ‘The Soft Skills Development Programme’ which is
innovatively introduced by the University of Pune has been rigorously implemented in the
college. For the last five years, the college has been conducting a batch of 50 to 60 students every
year. This programme is on the personality development in which the units like communication
skills, goal setting, analysis of strong and weak points to avoid vices and enrich the virtues,
interview techniques, mind control, and stress management have been included. This is the quest
for excellence that is one of the core values stated by the NAAC.
1.4.3. Does the institution use the guidelines of statutory bodies (UGC/AICTE/State
Councils of HE and other bodies) for developing and / or restructuring the curricula?
The University of Pune in general and the college as affiliated to it in particular have been
very keen in obeying the guidelines laid down by the UGC and State Councils of Higher
Education (HE) of Maharashtra. The BoS and the Executive Bodies of the University strictly
follow the norms and standards desired by the UGC in curriculum design and framing syllabi to
prescribe in the affiliated colleges. The college unexceptionally obeys all the orders and circulars
to maintain the national standards at par. In the recent curriculum revisions, all BOS bodies in the
University have kept the uniformity in the selection of texts, term-granting patterns and question
paper patterns for assessment and proper evaluation to measure the quality and excellence of the
learners at the university level. For instance, the curricula of Commerce subjects are restructured
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
32
recently as per the aspects suggested for inclusion in the curricula of the higher education at the
national level. Similarly, the subjects in the faculty of Arts and Fine Arts are also reframed to
meet the present demands of the national spirit and the liberalized world.
The college is aware of the national character and responsibilities of plugging every
student to the current issues and duties to prepare their mind set to overcome difficulties and
contribute to the National development, preservation of appropriate socio-cultural values,
democratic principles and environment.
1.4.4. How are the existing courses modified to meet the emerging /changing national and
global trends?
As stated earlier, the recent revisions in curricula taken place at the University and college
level have been the markers of the understanding and consciousness of current needs and highly
demanded changes in the higher education to procure the competent and skilled personnel and
entrepreneur at one level and the balanced, cultured citizens at the other through the system of
higher education implemented at the colleges. So the college has made attempts to reach at the
national goals. In the previous question, the modifications in the courses are listed. To depict how
they could meet the changing national and global trends the details are as follows:

2.3.1. How does the institution plan and organize the teaching-learning and evaluation
schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan and evaluation blue print, etc.)
The college implements all the curricular and extra-curricular plans and activities prescribed
by the University of Pune. In addition to these, we have our parent institutional planning and
schemes for the academic and socio-cultural activities. We follow the university schedule for
the teaching, and evaluation. For the internal assessment and evaluation, we have developed
our centralized patterns of intermediate examination and evaluation; and at the Samaj level,
there is a system of observing the academic standards and accordingly the guidelines are also
laid down to enrich the competence of the faculty and the staff. For example, the first five
rankers, the percentage of the results of the classes, departments, and the streams.

uniformity and integration of all activities. However, we make our planning by considering
the local environmental conditions and convenience. The college has its own year plan of
academic and extra-curricular activities to be implemented during the academic year. Every
teacher has his/her own teaching plan for the respective subjects and internal tests and
examinations like practical and study tours in the respective departments like Geography and
Commerce.

The College corresponds to the parents through letters by communicating their wards’
progress and expecting their suggestions and expectations to establish interactive
relationships.
The College calls the meeting of the parents in which discussion on the progress of the
students at all level of education and personality development is held. The concerned
parents come to know about their wards’ achievements and the academic record. The
teachers and parents can have healthy interaction on all related issues and demands from
both the sides.
2.5.3 What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances regarding evaluation?
The College has a Grievance Redressal Cell. The Redressal Cell works for removing the
problems of the students regarding the teaching-learning and evaluation practices.
The Cell is open for all the students to get their problems solved regarding their
evaluation. For that a suggestion box is kept in the Reading Room of the library that is
being disclosed after a fortnight.
This helps us to modify and improve the evaluation systems implemented in this College.
Besides the prescribed and declared evaluation processes or examinations, the college
allows the faculty to have the necessary testing and evaluation methods, especially in the
teaching-evaluation processes for the subjects like English, Accountancy, Mathematics
such as oral tests, and home assignments to have feedback intermittently.
2.5.4 What are the major evaluation reforms initiated by the institution/ affiliating
University? How does the institution ensure effective implementation of these
reforms?
During the last five years, there have been alterations in the examination and evaluation
methods. Before, 2004-05, there was the Annual system for examination and evaluation;
however, later on the 80-20 pattern is introduced by the University of Pune.
The subjects like English, Marathi, Hindi and Accountancy have the oral tests or practical
examinations are compulsory to the First Year of B. Com. and the Second Year of B.A.
up to 2008-09.
The Term End examinations of 20 marks have been conducted and the year ending
examinations are conducted of 80 marks. These examinations jointly determine the
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
47
overall results of the yearly performance of the students. Recently, it is expected that the
regular students should show their performance at both level; otherwise they could not be
awarded degrees.
The College has to follow all these norms and rules as laid down by the University of
Pune for examination and evaluation for the degree courses. For that the college has its
Examination Department to take care of all these. To make the examination and
evaluation processes smoother and easier to the students, the Committee works very
meticulously. All kinds of information about the examination schedule, required
qualifying status and eligibilities, and filling up examination application forms to offer
the chosen subjects and optional courses etc.

Academy Lecture Series. The subject experts or experienced teachers from other colleges
or from the native faculty are allowed to interact and orient the newly appointed as well
as the experienced teachers in the respective areas of the disciplines and the general
awareness abilities.
Some of the faculty members have been introduced to the ICT and other devices for
effective teaching and storing information to improve them for enriching their
competence. The College provides the Internet facility and the audio-visual Cell to have
the innovations and practically oriented situations.
All the teachers have been made to keep their teaching plans, teacher’s diaries, along with
the departmental yearly plans; for that every department is asked to have their meetings
from time to time.
Special guidance sessions for the disabled, differently-abled, and backward students to
reach up to mark or the required competence to succeed in the competitions they appear
for.

Though the rules and regulations are circulated through the prospectus and time to time
notices, they have been permitted to contact any of the faculty or administrative staff to
get their problems solved.
The Language and Computer laboratory is a place that caters the needs of the faculty and
students of the modern technical devices to teach or learn. The OHP, LCD Projector,
VCD, tape recorder, and other aids are made available.
The projects, tutorials, and direct experience through visits or tours, debates, group
discussions, and extra-curricular activities help the students to acquire the competence in
the respective fields.
The organization of Seminars, and workshops have been the worth considering activities
in the college that provides an approach to the faculty and the students to make teaching-
learning effective.
The methods of evaluation are suggested by the syllabus-designers nominated by the BOS
of the University of Pune; however, the MVP Samaj has its own system of conducting the
internal examinations, tests, tutorials, and evaluations practices which are mandatory to
this college too. For example, the journals, catalogues, answer-books, question-papers,
and annual feedback at the institute level have been the noteworthy practices in the
College.
The local administrative officers or bodies such as the Principal, the Vice Principal, the
IQAC co-ordinator observe the academic and administrative quality and excellence at the
College level.

Mission Statement
"Our responsibility is to make wise, responsible and law-abiding citizens with life-
respecting disposition out of the rural students in collaboration with the society in general.”
Our Vision
Imparting academic training to the rural students and work for the betterment
of their intellectual, academic and physical abilities.
Making the academically challenged students self-reliant.
Making the students materially and morally rich by instilling values in them.
Making the students responsible individuals with well-balanced personality.
Giving back to the society the philanthropic citizens.
a) ensures that the vision and mission of the institution is in tune with the
objectives of the Higher Education policies of the Nation?
The College ensures that the holistic nurturing of the students with their strongly built
character, as the gist of the vision and mission of the college are the aims and objectives
of the academic activities. The curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular practices of
the college are the objectives of higher education too. So the university academic
planning is in the same order. To mould the minds of the young generation of the disabled
or weaker section of the community, the college tries to make them competent citizens
and successful leaders by using their latent talent. Education for all and introduction to
ICT are the objectives of higher education; and the college is academically oriented and
student-focused since the rural communities and their young generations are in the focus
to be ensured to bring them up with new social vision for improving life conditions. The
socially sensitive employable graduates are to be produced; and to create a bond of team
work among the students is the mission of the higher education.
The college makes the students aware of environmental crisis, business competitions,
political crisis, global struggle for power and existence, and the individual, local and
national requirements to be satisfied through everyone’s efforts.
The academic and extension activities planned and practiced by the college as per the
norms and guidelines laid down by the University of Pune are formed to develop
leadership and responsibility of maintaining the local culture along with the global
diffusion of the world culture that we should know and adapt with it for keeping
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
103
dominance. The MVP Samaj in general and the college in particular has made it a point
that the last member of the weaker section of the rural backward community should be
involved in the process of higher education which is meant for keeping up the socio-
cultural values of the nation in the form of leadership, and preparing the youth to face the
global challenges. For that the college has its own system of effective organizational
structure and dynamic management.
The Committees in which the student representatives are involved and their suggestions
and acceptance have been considered. They are - Examination Committee, Discipline
Committee, Grievance Redressal Cell, NSS Committee, Women Forum, Campus Dev.
Committee, Cultural Committee, etc.
b) translates its vision statement into its activities?
The college aims at bringing out the hidden potentials of the students by involving them
in decision making and implementation of both academic and socio-cultural activities
such as the remedial and extra-coaching classes, the types and period of competitions for
developing their skills like elocution, essay writing, creative writing, leadership-
developing and debating etc. The social contact is our motto to take higher education at
the door of the educationally challenged community in the rural area.
The Committees enlisted in the next point can prove that they could cover almost all the
aspects of the developed personality which can be fit to face and get through all the
problems. English Speaking Course, Soft-Skills Development Programme, NSS
volunteering activities, Cultural Activities like celebration of National festivals,
anniversaries of National leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Dr.
Babasaheb Ambedkar, Swami Vivekanand etc., Gurupournima and Shikshakdin, etc. All
these activities are not only translation of the vision statement, but also of the information
into wisdom that is required for self-reliant persons.
The provision of various schemes of providing scholarships, freeships, and training to
bring about different abilities is the way to create a new vision in their life for the first
time.
6.1.2 Enumerate the Management’s commitment, leadership-role and involvement for
effective and efficient transaction of the teaching-learning processes.
The Management of Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj, Nashik has been highly committed
to the mission and vision of the Samaj i.e. ‘Mass education for the masses’ and ‘For the

RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
104
take care of all the academic and socio-cultural affairs in the colleges run by it. An action
plan of the Samaj is coordinated with the College, and they have to be co-ordinated and
implemented for the benefits of the students and the community.
The Executive Council of the Management has been very keen to have the academic and
administrative practices as per the norms and conditions laid down by the Samaj and the
university. The Central Office extends the management’s strategy, decisions, financial
provisions made for each of the branches and feedback from them on academic
excellence, the record of the university examination results and the performance of the

Personally, the authorities or the representatives of the Management attend the socio-
cultural or extra-curricular activities and observe the practices whether there is sustenance
of the good qualities and moulding the minds of the millions for every year throughout
the institution in Nashik District. For instance, the NSS camping programmes, blood

carry on the activities for the sake of making the dreams of the founders of the Samaj a
reality.
6.1.3 How do the management and the Head of the institution ensure that responsibilities
are defined and communicated to the staff of the institution?
The management of MVP Samaj functions on the democratic ground and allows the Principal
to do as much better as he/she can by moving freely within the range of the sphere of
administration. Both the management and the Principal ensure that the responsibilities are
defined and communicated to the staff of the college through the orientation and guidance
made in the first staff meeting of the year. The yearly plan of action reflects the
responsibilities and activities that the staff members have to carry on during the year.
The management communicates every decision and defined responsibility to each of the units
through the Central Office orders and takes feedback at the term or year end through Self-
Appraisal report and the Principal’s remarks and justifications.
The Sarchitnis and other Executives or appointed Education Officer of the Samaj pay surprise
visit to the college and inform about the new strategies of upgrading the higher education.
The Principal holds periodic meetings regularly and reminds of the responsibilities in respect
of academic standard, importance of team work, leadership, evaluation, and community

services. There is a system of notice circulation and display board in the staff room. Even the
appointment orders are issued to know the respective faculty and staff about the role and
responsibility of the allotted work. The Committee formation is the formal way of
communication of allotment.
6.1.4 How does the Management/Head of the institution ensure that adequate information

review the activities of the institution?
The college has the three-tier structure of personal assessment and self-appraisal reporting i.e.
the faculty at personal level, the Head of the Dept. and the Principal. What one says about
oneself is supported by the HOD and the HOD’s remarks could be much authentic to ensure
whether the information got from the feedback system and from personal contacts is adequate
to review the activities of the college.
In addition to this reporting system, the college has the provision of observing the teaching in
the classes as well as the activities directly by the Principal, Vice-Principal, or the
coordinators from time to time to ensure this kind of governance.
6.1.5 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff for
improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional processes?

creative staff members with the Awards of the best teacher/clerk/head of the Samaj.
The faculty and staff are appreciated and credited for their contributions, and they are
allowed to acquire more skills and abilities by using variety of resources of information and
training.
6.1.6 Describe the leadership role of the Head of the institution, in governance and
management of the institution.

management of the college. He lays down the norms to follow and the targets to reach at. He
offers leadership through participative management such as an involvement of the faculty and
the students in the implementation of the activities like NSS Camps, Earn and Learn schemes,

The MVP Management: The Samaj is one of the most dynamic and progressive
academic institutions in Maharashtra in terms of its diffusion of education at all levels and
every corner of the Nashik District for the upliftpment of the masses. For that the institute
has been decorated with ‘Award of Excellence’ by the Government of Maharashtra in
the year 2000.
The meetings of the Executive Council of the Management are held at least once in the
period of two months. The standing committees meet once in a month to have all kinds of
discussions and decisions of educational setups and the role of the colleges of the Samaj.
The details are kept with the Central Office.
The planning of the financial budgets of the infrastructural development, raising funds for
new construction of buildings and the right to expenditure at the college level are taken
by the management. For instance, the Samaj has provided the financial aid to construct
the buildings and meeting the need of payments of the non-grant faculty and staff during
the last fifteen years of the college. The recommendations and imperatives are
communicated to all the colleges and expected that all the branches should modify the
present systems respectively.
The MVP Samaj recruit the faculty and non-teaching staff by advertising the vacant posts
after proper approvals from the University and the respective authorities and applications
are invited from the eligible candidates. The selection of the candidates is made on the
basis of performance in the interviews carried out by appointing the panels of the experts
and nominees of the Govt. and appointments are given in the Samaj and not in the
particular college. In other words, the services are transferable and on the administrative
ground one has to work in different branches with the same spirit and devotion.
The decisions regarding the term schedules, exam. schedules, sports and games on the
celebrations of Samajdin, MVP Marathon, and Socio-cultural programmes like ‘ Janata
Raja- Life history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj” or “78th All India Marathi Sahitya
Sammelan” in which the Samaj has led the community of literary taste, and raising relief
funds for the flood, Tsunami or quake-affected people in the country as a social
commitment are taken by the Management. This is our social responsibility which the
educational institution should have in our country. The Internal Examinations are
conducted in the colleges; however, the division of syllabus, the setting of the term-end
question papers and answer-books, and one conformed discipline of assessment and
evaluation, and felicitations of the students of merit on the occasion of the Samajdin, etc.

are the decisions taken and carried out by the Management regularly during every
academic year.

for any FIP/FDP to carry out their research and extension work for improving their
individual quality to add to the excellence of the college.
The Samaj holds some seminars and workshops for the faculty development and updating
the educational strategies. For instance, the seminars held on New Syllabi, NAAC
preparations, Exposure to new world challenges and introduction to ICT like modernized
systems to all teachers and staff in the colleges. For the office staff, the Samaj has held
the two-day workshop for introducing the new ICT system -‘Online proposals and

functioning. All the academic, administrative, and socio-cultural activities are expectedly
made to happen through a democratic way. He has to attempt to streamline the working of
the aided and unaided programmes on the basis of the feedback received from the

environment of social responsibility among the faculty; so everyone continues to keep the
promise of considering the personal issues of the students and offer them career-oriented
and life-making value education and skills to face the situation.

7.2 Inclusive practices
7.2.1 What practices have been taken up by the institution to provide access to students
from the following sections of the society:
a) Socially-backward
The students from such socially backward classes of the community have never been
treated with any discrimination.
They have been admitted to any programme as one demands, and everyone gets the
concessional and scholarship facilities that the govt., the university and the MVP Samaj
have provided and made available in the college such as SC, ST, STW, OBC, FFW etc.
scholarships and freeships to the beneficiaries.
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
130
The college always reports such students about these facilities, makes their proposals and
gets the facilities available for them.
The students and parents have been allowed to see any authority to get their problem
solved.
b) Economically-weaker and
The College provides all kinds of concessions and facilities to those who are unable to
pay admission fees, purchase books and bear other expenses.
The Students Welfare Council works for them by implementing the ‘Earn while Learn’
‘Quality Improvement Scheme,’ and ‘Personality Development Programme,’ etc. for the
students from the economically weaker sections of the community. Through these
schemes, they could get somewhat economic assistance and required knowledge for
making career after graduation.
The College also provides the Krantijyoti Savitribai Fule Scholarship for Girls for the last
two years regularly. 10 eligible girl students can receive this scholarship of Rs. 5000/-
each every year.
The students also receive Minority Scholarship under the scheme.

activities whenever the differently abled students approach the college. For them, the
faculty work by spending time and exploiting more force.

disadvantaged communities? Specify.
The College has been managed by the parent institution- MVP Samaj, Nashik and all the

the college could not attempt to interfere in this regard. However, the parent institute has
been very keen in observing the all reservation norms and the percentages of the reserved
seats.
a) Teaching : N.A.
b) Non-Teachings : N.A.
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
131
7.2.2 What special efforts are made to achieve gender balance amongst students and
staff?
There is no need of any efforts to achieve gender balance, since the recent examination
results in almost all the disciplines have kept the equality. The staff members are also
recruited through the centralized process by the MVP Samaj, following the democratic
principle of equality and justice.
In the formation of the Students’ Council and thereafter the Committees, instead
preference is to be given to the boys to have a balance, because in the merit-based
nomination of the Class- Representatives, more girls come in to occupy more seats.
There are the Committees like Women Forum, Women Grievance Redressal Cell, and
Special Representation for Ladies in the Students’ Council which are for achieving
gender balance between the genders.
7.2.3 Has the institution done a gender audit and/or any gender-related sensitizing
courses for the staff/ students? Give details.
The record of the intake capacity of each of the courses and the admitted students in the
college can indicate that there are the girls and the boys categorized and accordingly the
girls have been preferably considered for the scholarships, gender-wise facilities and
enrolment of the girls in the extra-curricular activities like NSS, Earn and Learn Scheme,
Cultural Activities, Personality Development Camps etc.
The college organizes some group discussions, seminars, workshops, and Soft-skills
Development Programmes in which 50% or more girl students are admitted.
7.2.4 What intervention strategies have been adopted by the institution to promote the
overall development of students from rural/tribal backgrounds?
Since this college is in rural area, its aims and objectives are to satisfy the needs of the
students from the rural area that may bring them into the bright light of the modern
civilizations. For they must have an exposure to the requirements of the present modern
globalized world. The needs are the communications skills, technical knowledge, and job-
oriented information. The college tries to introduce the students to most of the innovative
issues in the business world; the communication through the global language like English
is emphasized; and different organizations and the institutes are invited to bring their
expertise to open the new gates of first hand information to let them know what are the
demands of the corporate world.
We have been organizing Remedial Course English and Special Guidance Scheme for the
weaker students (especially for the SC/ST students).
RAR - Arts, Com. & Sci. College, Nandgaon (Nashik) Part II : Evaluative Report
132
The ‘Earn and Learn’ scheme which is implemented by the college is meant for the
economically weaker students and it is seen that only the needy students are allowed to
work under this scheme.
7.2.5 Does the institution have a mechanism to record the incremental academic growth of
the students admitted from the disadvantaged sections?
The College does not have any mechanism to record the incremental academic growth of
the students admitted from the disadvantaged sections of the community, because most of
the students belonged to the socially and economically backward categories, and the
record of overall growth is the record of such specifications too.
7.2.6 What initiatives have been taken by the institution to promote social-justice and
good citizenship amongst its students and staff? How have such initiatives reached
out to the community?
The College has been aware of administering justice to all the weaker and disadvantaged
groups; for that the college has the democratic policy in carrying out all activities for the
promotion and development of social justice and making the staff and students the good
citizens.
The college has the Students’ Council to train the students with a clean and clear strategy
approach in selecting the representatives, and performing their duties as responsibilities;
the merit-based nomination and leadership are the aspects of social justice; the gender
discrimination and economic differentiation are the ways of proving the norms of
understanding and amicability.
The equal allocation of work is also a proper way of revealing an importance of social
justice; so everyone has been ascribed the responsibility and made active to shoulder the
duties of a good citizen.
The College has formed the Committees like Grievance Redressal Cell, Women Forum,
Samartha Bharat Abhiyan, NSS camping programme, Cultural Activities, etc. and the
students and the staff have been proved that there is no comprise for justice to us good
citizens to have India a super power very soon.
The College involves the stakeholders, local leaders and the community people whenever,
the extra-curricular activities are conducted in the villages, or outside the college campus.
The alumnus is the authentic sources to reach out to the community. In decision-making,
planning, and administration, these organizations of teachers, students and the

result in stakeholder satisfaction?
The key factor is the College itself that attracts the students and stakeholders to the
College as it is the only one college in the town and its vicinity for the community.
The students and the stakeholders are involved in decision-making process; so they feel
homely and the need of their life situations. The functions of cultural activities, medical
check up, and assistance to solve the problems of community schemes prescribed by the
government etc. are the mostly conceived by the college.
The motto of the Samaj- ‘Bahujan Hitay, Bahujan Sukhay’- for the benefits and welfare
of the masses, has been a promise to all who are there to shoulder the moral responsibility

communities? How do you identify community needs and determine areas of emphasis
for organizational involvement and support?
The College knows what the community requires, since the students and officials related
to the community are the markers of necessity. The everyday news items and problems
reported and demands from the community are the sources of information to identify
community needs; and accordingly, the college determines the areas of emphasis. For
instance, we provide counselling to the rural students about their future education and
