Title of the Practice – Morning Assembly.
Goal and Objective of the practice :
To inculcate patriotism in the students.
To counsel the students.
To inculcate moral values in the students.
To develop concentration level & peace of mind of the students.
To imbibe discipline , punctuality & sincerity in the students.
The Context :
Today India is progressing very fast on economic and technological front but over the years Indian people lacking in patriotism , moral value and social consciousness. It is vey interesting to know that most of the people are not able to sing National Anthem. Hence , college has adopted this practice to inculcate patriotism and moral value in the minds of the students and create social awareness among the students. This practice is also used to counsel the students and interact with them on many issues like problems regarding fees , admission , library books , etc.
The Practice :
The college observes this practice on everyday in the morning. On this occasion , The National Song “ Jan Gan Man ” is sung. In addition to this , The University Song is also sung. Our slogan is “ First , We are Indians and , last , We are Indians”. This practice creates oneness among the students and teachers. The National Anthem creates the spirit of nationalism among everyone. This platform is also used for counseling the students and providing them necessary information for e.g. scholarship , syllabus information, exam information , fees problems , hygiene problems and short lecture on Moral Values.
Evidence of Success :
This practice exerted a great influence on the students. It is observed that students do not observe caste and they can easily connect with one another and participate in the various activities of the college collectively. This practice achieved success to some extent in creating team spirit among the students. We know that inculcating patriotism is not an easy job and still we have to travel a long road in this regard. But to some extent we have achieved in this matter. This practice also creates social awareness among the students. Not only students but teachers, too , benefited from this practice.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required :
Problems Encountered :
This practice do not need financial support but due to unavailability of time we have to adjust our time-table. It results in ten to fifteen minutes loss. In rainy or winter seasons , we find the number of students to attend the assembly becoming less and less. Most of the students come to college from distant places through buses which reach to Ramtek after morning assembly.
Resources Required :
The human resource is not a problem to observe this practice effectively.
Best Practice :- II
Title of the Practice – Dress Code for students
Goal and Objective of the practice :
To prevent trespassers and anti-social elements in the campus.
To create discipline among the students.
To create social and economical equality among the students.
To create the feeling of oneness and belongingness among the students.
The Context :
Over the years anti-social elements disturb the atmosphere of the college due to various reasons. Many incidents occurred in the past like spoiling the atmosphere of the campus which compel the college to introduce the dress code. After the introduction of the dress-code , we were able to differentiate between students and tress-passers. This practice also helps the students in case of emergency.
The Practice :
The college has introduced the dress code for the students since 2008-2009 to create unity and social equality among the students and to maintain the discipline of the college. While admitting the students in the college , the admission committee informs about the dress-code of the college. The college does not provide them any dress material. Students are set free to purchase the dress material from the open market as per the requirement of the college. For male students, the shirt is sky blue and trouser is navy blue. For female students , the top is sky blue and salwar is navy blue. The college has made it compulsory for all the students to enter in the campus in the dress code on all days. Sometimes it is observed that students are unable to come in the dress code. He or she has to provide the reasons for this act and then , if the reason is found suitable , they are allowed to attend the classes on that very day only
Evidence of Success :
This practice helps us to prevent tress-passers and anti–social elements entry into the campus to some extent. I-card was one tool to prevent the entry of outsiders inside the campus. But its utility was limited because there was always a risk of making duplicate copies of it. This practice also help us to create discipline , social awareness , social equality , team spirit and belonging of oneness among the students.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required :
Problems Encountered :
Students from Poor Family background :
Most of the students belong to the poor family background due to which they are unable to purchase the dress material in stipulated time that causes them the loss of teaching in earlier days.
Resources Required :
We found that to prevent the outsiders , dress code has also limited utility. Hence , we need more human resource to implement this practice.
