1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Vision
Instilling the institute's core values in the learner and encouraging them to pursue the path of self-awareness
TEJ (Radiance)
Tej literally translates as "radiance radiating from the source of enlightenment." This is a metaphor for the force
of knowledge emanating from the enlightened mind. College's aim is to mould students' minds into the ultimate
reservoir of egalitarian perspectives that will construct society, nation, and, ultimately, the world. Every
educated mind that is developed in our academic environment emerges as a person with great humanistic
values, according to college.
GATI (Dynamism)
College seeks to instil dynamism in its students, community, nation, and, ultimately, the globe. Students with
holistic academic knowledge combined with ethical principles, i.e. Gati, will undoubtedly contribute to the
acceleration of human growth.
SHAKTI (Verve)
The integration of Tej and Gati in a student's psyche will result in Shakti, or the verve to transform society,
nation, and globe for a better and more evolved future. Power to knowledge and unity would be a worldwide
Shakti for humanity.
Mission
"Higher levels of academic and cultural excellence, while developing learners' well-mannered,
competitive personalities"
Collaboration with educational institutions, research institutions, and organisations on a local and worldwide
scale to enhance academic and research activities and to facilitate internships and recruitment opportunity.
KTSP Mandal is a group of young and dynamic educators who are working to provide KG to PG level
education under one umbrella.
It is one of the oldest institutes in the Raigad district, having been established for 42 years and serving a rural
population within a 25-kilometer radius.
The college is affiliated with the University of Mumbai (formerly known as the University of Bombay), one of
India's oldest and most prestigious universities, founded in 1857 and recently awarded A++ status by NAAC.
Mother nature provides a beautiful green landscape with scenic waterfalls because the College is nestled in the
Sahyadri foothills, making the learning environment pleasant for both students and teachers.
A dedicated campus area of approximately 2 acres is used to provide excellent teaching and learning facilities.
With spacious, well-furnished, and ICT-enabled classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, a library with study
room, a seminar hall, and a conference room, the infrastructure is adequate.
Faculty with several PhDs and MPhils, as well as NET and SET certifications. The University of Mumbai has
designated three faculty members as research guides, and they also supervise PhD students. Many faculty
members undertake research projects fundedby government and non-government agencies, publish research
articles in reputable national and international journals, serve as editors and reviewers for reputable publishers,
and write textbooks for prescribed courses. Passionate faculty members collaborate to instil the institute's core
values in students. The emphasis is placed not only on curricular but also on co-curricular activities.
Staff and students are motivated to excel in the field of research and development thanks to the newly
established DST FIST Research lab.
Several committees and cells, such as the Women's Cell, Anti-Ragging Cell, Student Grievances and Redressal
Cell, and Sexual Harassment Cell, are in place to ensure that curricular and extracurricular activities are carried
out effectively.
The institution's growth is aided by successfully established harmonious relationships with management, staff,
students, parents, and alumni.
Institutional Weakness
The institution lacks sufficient land for a hostel, auditorium, and gymkhana, as well as classrooms, to begin
new courses.
Because of the weak educational backgrounds of many students and the scarcity of time available to them, there
is a restriction on implementing value-added courses.
Because the school does not receive any financial aid or adequate grant for courses from the government, it is
becoming increasingly difficult to offer self-financed courses as the unit cost of education increases.
Because of the ban on new recruitment, many sanctioned positions are filled with temporary teachers, lowering
educational quality.
Institutional Opportunity
Our institution is a government-aided institution, and because it is located in a rural location, it has a unique
opportunity to provide quality education to underprivileged and financially weaker sections of society.
There is the opportunity of improving intake capacity for presently functioning courses as well as the
introduction of new generation and more industry-oriented courses.
For academic and administrative purposes, there is a chance to be more digital in record keeping. The institute
should implement a "LESS PAPER" policy.
The institute has a well-established research laboratory and a well-qualified faculty; there is also the potential to
execute collaborative research projects with the industry and start generating financial resources through
consulting assignments.
Because the institute is situated in the proximity of enterprises such as Tata Steel BSL Ltd, Reliance Industries
Ltd, Innovasynth Pvt Ltd, Musco Special Steels Ltd, and many more small and medium scale industries, there
is a great untapped potential for student placements and fund generation through CSR programs.
Institutional Challenge
K.M.C.College, Khopoli is affiliated with the University of Mumbai. The academic work is undertaken to
accomplish the mission of the college ‘Tej, Gati and Shakti’.
Being an affiliated college to the University of Mumbai, the college ensures effective curriculum delivery
defined by the University. The curriculum delivery is achieved through well planned academic calendar and
timetable. The teaching-learning process has been monitored with the help of departmental meetings, teaching

Mumbai University.
Academic Flexibility:
The college has offered 9 UG programs, 4 PG programs, and a Ph.D. program. The choice-based credit
system (CBCS) has been adopted for all programs from 2016-2017. Visit industrial units, rural areas, historical
places, and related areas are arranged to substitute classroom learning. College introduced some new certificate
courses that have utility for the job, self-employment, and empowerment of the students. Faculty members have
successfully designed and developed the curricula of certificate courses. At the end of the three years, the
students will be equipped with a certificate along with a conventional degree. The courses offered are inner-
disciplinary nature.
Curriculum Enrichment:
Cross-cutting issues are integrated directly into the curriculum of the courses. The course of Environment
studies is compulsory for the curriculum of first-year B.Com. Students are taught various concepts of
environment, gender equality professional ethics, human values in the various courses. Several courses
included experiential learning through project work/fieldwork and internship. Students have completed project
work/fieldwork and internships through experiencing learning.
Feedback System:
Towards the end of the year, the institution collects feedback on the curriculum from four stakeholders with
well-designed and structured questionnaires and also by using Google forms. Online feedback was collected
from the stakeholders. Sample feedback forms, analysis reports, and action taken reports are prepared
accordingly and submitted to the AQAC committee. It sends to the Board Of Studies and syllabus framing
committee of the University Of Mumbai.
The admission process is carried out on a merit basis as per university rules, for granted as well as non-granted

arranged for slow medium and advance learners.
The mentor-mentee system is used for understanding students’ problems and guiding them personally. 36 to 40
mentees are allotted to an individual mentor.
The program outcomes, program-specific outcomes, and course outcomes for all programs are prepared by each
department, discussed with teachers, and uploaded on the institutional website. Result analysis is conducted
every year to understand the performance of the learners.
A students' satisfaction survey was conducted at the institute level and 1017 responses were received.

Admissions at F. Y. Level is based on merit basis as per university rules, for granted as well as non-granted
divisions.
Once admission process is completed, in the month of June, regular lectures are conducted for all classes at
F. Y., S. Y. and T. Y. levels and in the month of July / August, a test is conducted based on completed
syllabus to understand the learning levels of students. The result is broadly classified into two broad areas –
slow learners who get less than 40% of marks and advanced learners, above 60 to 80% of marks. The list is
displayed on the notice board and immediately the subject teacher engages at least 3 extra lecturers for
slow learners to cope up with other students. Similarly, minimum 3 extra lecturers are engaged for
advanced learners to make them more specialised in the subject. They are also provided with additional
information through reference books, websites and question – answer (problem solving) sessions, so as to
enable them to top in the final examinations.
Such slow and advanced learners are once again evaluated through internal tests of 20 / 40 marks as per
university semester pattern. These tests are conducted in the month of September or one month before the
semester end examination. Once again, the subject teacher after assessing the test papers prepares the list
and the slow learners, in next 15 days and thus they will be ready to face the semester end examination
more confidently.

Experiential learning focuses on learning through experience or learning through reflection of doing things.
It is different from rote learning where learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is a method of
education through first-hand experience. For example- After the lecture, taking a quiz to test the
knowledge or new knowledge as presumed by students. Projects /Assignments / Case study are also given
to students individually or group of students, on various social /economic issues or current topics. The field
studies provide first-hand knowledge & experience on the issues which makes them aware of practical
problems. Students will have opportunities to reflect on and discuss their learning experience through the
process of assignments. These assignments may be in the form of field trips, field research & service
learning projects.
All students in our college are part of experiential learning or participative learning process through their
compulsory subjects. Students involved in activities like field survey of slum, blind homes, old age homes,
differently abled rehabilitation centres or shelter homes, Science exhibition, Avishkar Research
Convention, Students seminar, Industrial visits, Quiz, lab experiments, Internship programme, seminar and
conferences etc. Students who have taken the NSS and NCC actively participate in socially useful and
environmental friendly activities and enrich the real-life experiences. The students when share their
experience with people from different walks of life, come to know the real-world situations with optional
out comes where ‘mistakes’ actually becomes valuable part of their learning process. The students, thus,
acquire expertise and skill through practical applications or theories and problems solving techniques
instead of just reading or hearing about them. The students will have world – ready by the time they
complete the education. Thus, these practical methods of learning promote problem multiple skills and
critical thinking. It also encourages teamwork in a professional and systematic manner.
Outdoor activities are also available in order to develop moral values, life values, ethics, human values and
leadership qualities such as: NSS camps, NCC camps, Cultural events, sports etc. Other exercises like
educational visits to historical places & industries, enhances the knowledge and leads to improved attitudes
toward learning. It also guides, sometimes, to choose their career paths. Thus, it enhances experiences of
students.

The university has semester pattern at 3 years degree programme for Arts, Science and Commerce and 2
years degree programme for PG level. In this pattern, students are evaluated through internal assessment
which may be in different forms – e. g. Test, Tutorials, Projects, Seminar presentations etc. There is
flexibility assigned to individual teacher to choose the method of internal evaluation. But generally, teacher
prefers “Test” because students can study the syllabus on covered chapters. It will prepare them for final
examinations to some extent. As per the university regulations Test / Tutorials or any other method carries
20 marks and 5 marks are allocated for regularity, punctuality and attendance of students. The semester end
examination has 100 marks paper and 75 marks paper for foundation course and computer science course
and 100 marks paper for other subject at UG level. For PG courses, external and internal examinations
have 60 marks and 40marks weightage respectively.
The internal assessment system has many advantages (1) Students regularly attend lectures. (2) They study
the covered syllabus right from the beginning. (3) At least 20 to 30 % of portion is prepared through test
for final semester end examination. (4) The teacher displays the list of failed students on notice board and
they will be given second chance to study and pass the test. (5) For some subjects like Foundation course,
project work is compulsory. So, students actively undertake field study or case studies. This will help them
to know the practical problems and real-life situations.
In all semesters students will give tests or projects. So, in terms of frequency it will enrich the subject
knowledge well in advance and well before final examinations. It is robust in term of boosting confidence
level of students because students continuously and repeatedly do the projects or give tests which gives
them proper writing skills and enlarge their understanding of subjects. In terms of variety, students will
undergo projects on different subjects / social problems and they imbibe the different aspects of social life
by studying real life situation through case studies or projects.
Effective implementation of the evaluation reforms is always aimed at by the institute. The detailed
schedules of internal examination at UG and PG level are displayed on the notice board, results of semester
end examination is displayed on the notice board so that it will be communicated to the students in advance
before the examination commences for the purpose of proper planning by the students regarding
preparation for the examination.
Under this system 100, 75:25, 60:40 marks are divided between external and internal evaluation as per
university directive norms time to time. The examinations are conducted strictly as per university norms.
Question papers are set at the University/College level for semester end examination. Seating arrangement,
time duration of paper, appointment of invigilators etc. are done as per norms.
The mechanism of internal assessment is transparent, strong and healthy in terms of frequency and the
method in which assessment is undertaken.
2.5.2 Mechanism to deal with internal/external examination related grievances is transparent, time-
bound and efficient
Response:
As per university regulations, the institution conducts first two years examinations and also assesses the
papers, finalises results. However, since 2016 – 17 onwards, question papers and time tables are given by
the university and the assessment work is done by individual colleges. Since academic year 2018-19
university assigned examination work of first two years of UG classes to college such as question paper
setting, preparation of time table etc. For final year of under graduate and post graduate course, university
conducts examinations and also undertake central assessment work. The result is also prepared &
Since college regulates examination work for first two years, the examination committee plays a vital role.
The examination committee constituted at the college level consisting of chairman, teacher members and
one non-teaching staff deals with examination related grievances like examination timings, mistakes in
question papers, availability of infrastructure, seating arrangements, allotment of invigilators, declaration
of results etc. Time tables of the examination are displayed on the notice board. The committee ensures
transparent, time bound and efficient mechanism to redress the grievances. There is central assessment
programme organized by the committee and all subject teachers will have to assess their papers as per the
schedule. After the declaration of results of F. Y. & S. Y. levels, students who failed or who feels that they
have scored less than what they expected, then sufficient time is given to such students to apply for
rechecking or for taking photo copies of the answer books.
All such rechecking papers verified by committee members. In case, if there are any totalling mistakes or if
marks are not taken for grand totalling they will be rectified and displayed on notice board.
If there are serious anomalies in the marks, as reviewed by the committee the subject teachers will be asked
to re-assess the paper and accordingly the marks are conveyed to students.
In case of un-fair means practices in examinations, there is a separate committee constituted by Principal.
Students involved in un-fair practices will be informed to appear before the committee for their
explanations. The final decision, after hearing, will be taken within one month from the date of result and
the necessary actions to be taken against the students involved in un-fair means. This will be informed to

Humans are social animals. The abilities of human i.e. Homo sapiens is more elaborated compared to other
animals on the earth. Therefore, humankind's social system is more complex and multipronged.
Considering these facts, college is endeavoring to groom and nurture the verdant behavioral approach of
students.
We organize various lectures through different agencies and at various occasions. This secular attitude of
the student is taken care of through regular lectures, anniversaries, different days, and sudden occasions
that tend to arise whenever the faculty feels so. Great personalities national and international are
considered for the occasion. Myriad culture may cause dissents or harmony. We faculties try to instill
harmony instead of dissent using the myriad mosaic culture of our nation. Occasional discussions may
surface during lectures; there faculties utilize that situation and purpose to hone the volatile minds of
students.
National days like independence day, republic day triggers discussions on nationality, nation, national
pride etc. in this connection informal talks play a vital role to make an opinion on the national issues
quelling parochial religious, cattiest, regional prides. We organize constitution day to mitigate narrow self-
centeredness among the students. It is taught to the students that our Indian constitution is all inclusive, non-
discriminatory documents. Pupils are inspired to read the constitution, at least preamble of the constitution.
Our national leaders are treasures of fraternity and goodwill. We celebrate the birth and death anniversaries
of these leaders. National leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Mahatma
Phule, Savitrimai Phule, Lokmanya Tilak, Savarkar, Aanabhau Sathe, Shahuji Maharaj etc are
commemorated by recounting their life and works to the students. Students take this opportunity to listen
and follow the path shown by these leaders. Our nation is of multifarious nature on this background student
sometimes under the influence of vested interests or misunderstanding get provoked and that leads to
harangue or loggerheads. Under such circumstances, compassionate and rational handling of situations
could be achieved by narrating anecdotes and inspiring thoughts of national heroes. Our faculty utilizes the
thoughts of these national and international icons to hone the minds of students.
Similarly, college organizes science days to propagate scientific thoughts among the students. Efforts of
this scientist to generate a scientific phenomenon are a herculean story. Our faculties put these personal
efforts of these great scientists before students on science day. These efforts definitely yield some good
outputs, if not tremendous one. During class, teaching our faculties tries to introduce such attitudes among
students. Science is primarily for scientific attitude and then a tool for technological development hence we
try to inculcate scientific attitude among students.
Religious toleration is also one of the important aspects for the new generation. Foundation course, NSS is
the channel through which we try to focus on these social issues. Various programs in this connection are
organized to promote holistic approach to the tedious syllabus based teaching.
7.1.9 Sensitization of students and employees of the Institution to the constitutional obligations:
values, rights, duties and responsibilities of citizens (within 500 words).
Response:
Response:
Constitution of India is a document that entails liberty, justice, equality, fraternity among the citizens.
These democratic value are endowed all citizens through constitution. College organizes various programs
in this regard on special and relevant occasions.
Various days of national importance like, constitution day, Republic day, Independence Day, Voters day
and allied days are celebrated to refurbish the civic and national values among all citizens. Our NCC
department, which unique of its kind in the area, organizes programs of national integrity for the promotion
of human values, brotherhood, nationality, religious harmony, regional fraternity etc. Our society is
imbued with various hues of religion, language, castes, class, regionalism etc. These differences tend to
generate disputes and fracas among different sections of society. College is playing its due social role to
mitigate such malevolent attitudes prevailing in the society. Nascent citizens are the students, therefore it
mandatory national and social duty of every academic institution to cleanse the minds of students of any
nefarious tenets that may hound the student. Democratic values enshrined in our constitution are taught to
the students through foundation course where relevant topics are in syllabus. Our NCC and NSS faculties
organize anniversaries of our constitution days national days and organize discussions to groom the minds
of student. During some occasions like martyr day student discuss nationalism and patriotic issues among
themselves. This informal discussion is no less than an organized lecture of speech of an expert. Faculties
encourage students to discuss on such issues. Many times discussions are triggered by some news in the
media and many students join to voice their opinions. Such discussion are volitional and vehement coming
from the inquisitiveness of the incumbent student. This kind of discussions were spotted by many faculties
and these groups of students further encouraged to participate in elocution competition. Sometimes class
lectures linger in the minds of students and they discuss these issues that pester them persistently they
deliberate such topics among their closed circles. Civic topics related to citizen’s duties constitutional
obligations are taken up for lectures and orations and accordingly programs are organized.
NSS and NCC students involved in voter identity card/ list campaign, awareness on these issues carried out
in the adjacent areas involving common citizens. Many times people don’t exercise their franchise and
ignore the national responsibilities. NSS and NCC students are occasionally doing their national duty to
spread awareness about the national duties among commoners. Reading of preamble taking constitutional
oath to follow democratic values are some programs followed by students under the auspices of NSS and
NCC department. Foundation course prescribed by Mumbai university is utilized at its full aims by
teaching the topics pertaining to civic rights of the citizens. Students from computer and science streams
are less aware of these humanity subjects therefore faculties insist and encourage students these students to
attend foundation course classes through which rights and duties of the citizens could be propagated.
7.1.10 The Institution has a prescribed code of conduct for students, teachers, administrators and
7.1.11 Institution celebrates / organizes national and international commemorative days, events and
festivals (within 500 words).
Response:
Culture of the society and nation strongly influence social development of the people. Students while
learning imbibe these values knowingly and unknowingly. Academic institutions are the agencies not only
for academic syllabus based learning but holistic development of the student. Therefore, it becomes
mandatory to follow the constitutional guidelines to impart all the moral values to the student.
Our college follows all the protocols relating to the commemoration of national and international
days as prescribed by the governing bodies of college. This includes celebration of independence day,
Republic day, national voters’ day, constitution day, environment day, women’s day, reading day, reading
inspiration day, yoga day, science day, birth and death anniversaries of national heroes. Independence day
entails patriotism and national integrity. The atmosphere in the college premises is created by the rituals
and arrangements. Pupil keep on discussing with faculties and among themselves on the issues related to
nations and national issues. Similarly, republic day is actually constitution implementation day,
accordingly issues are informally and formally raised to switch on discussions. On many occasions lectures
and orations organized to invigorate the national pride and national harmony. Constitutional provision is
made into nutshell and provided to the students. National personalities are remembered and their
contribution is recounted that is supposed to actuate the mind of students. Personalities like Bhagat singh,
Gandhiji, Vallabh patel, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Phule, Savitrimai Phule, Tilak, are remembered
and commemorated respectively.
physical and materialistic comforts. But developing scientific attitude is the prime aim of science. In the
age of globalization students must develop scientific attitude forsaking irrational misconceptions and
superstitions that are prevalent in Indian society.
Environmental day is the occasion that conveys significance of mother earth, nature and natural set
up. Pollution is the burning issue of present times. Mitigation of pollution of various kinds, is of most
concern, student engage themselves in the environmental preservation through various activities. Plantation
is the major activity, since plants are the basic organisms that sustain the plant. Anthropogenic activities
must be in consonance of nature, not antagonistic to nature. Focusing this aspect care of flora and fauna is
emphasized.
National personalities are remembered on right occasions. Birth and death of those personalities are
commemorated by organizing formal and informal programs as per the need and feasibilities. Special
lectures arranged to enlighten all stakeholders on the occasion of anniversaries.
All faculties and departments are involved in these activities. Major contribution in this regard comes from
NSS and NCC. It could not be underrated that, informal and unorganized chats are invaluable.
Unorganized talks that are initiated without any prior preparations do contribute to the up gradation and
updation of knowledge.

Best practice
Introduction:
Best practice is a significant feature of our college. It involves students, faculty and society. The
interpersonal flow of information and knowledge is key of the practice. Our college employs following two
best practices. One is a college level practice titled, ‘Net banking’ and second Education to Execution
(Edu-Ex).
First practice Net (Internet) Banking is now became the need of hour as we are ushering in the age of
digital India. However, at grass-root level many people are not aware and familiar with net banking. They
have mobile in their hand but could not venture into net banking owing to their ignorance and insufficient
relevant knowledge of internet banking. Our students are trained with all information and knowledge to go
in the society to educate laymen/ women/ house wives of the society of internet baking and Edu-Ex.
Internet banking is carried out by our selected and trained students, preferably from computer/ commerce
subjects, in the Net banking.
Second best practice is Education to Education (Edu-Ex) meant to unlock and disseminate esoteric
knowledge that is locked in the university syllabus of different subjects. Academic syllabus contains lot of
concepts and issues that could be useful for common public of the society. Such concepts from the
different syllabus are culled eclectically, streamlined, resolved into simple terminologies preferably into
vernacular, and taught to the selected students. Such students learn these significant concepts from their
syllabus and put it into simpler form before the laity. This effort on the part of college faculty is to rescue
socially significant aspects from the complexities of the syllabus and make it available to the commoners.
Otherwise, many potentially important aspects that are available in the syllabus remain only to the
concerned students to study merely for academics and number of marks. This practice would certainly be
harbinger of spreading the knowledge from class to community i.e. realizing the phenomenon of Education
to Execution (Edu-Ex).
Best practice 1:
The Context: -
The world is advancing towards more mechanization and automation. Information technology is the
hot cake today. All are now a days using internet and its applications that is making all the business easy
and convenient. Economy is also integrating these online facilities for monetary transactions. Internet
banking is one of the most significant aspects those days. Government is also advocating this practice of
internet banking. It is observed that people are getting acquainted to this phenomenon. Especially gents are
more familiar to internet banking compared to women lot of the society. Women from elite class are
seamlessly practicing net banking where as women from rural backgrounds are very much unaware of this
internet banking techniques. Considering this need and locational advantage of college we faculty and
students are trying to spread awareness and usage of internet banking among rural less educated lot of
women fraternity in our area.
This approach is useful considering the self-reliance of women for their menial routine transactions
without wasting time form their daily hectic chores. This endeavor of our college is found helpful and
satisfactory for rural area.
The Practice: -
After the presentation, students and faculty tried to solve the queries of women/ laymen related to
Net Banking and registration. The said presentation was done in Marathi/ Hindi/ English languages to ease
understanding of the process.
Evidence of success: -
The women/ laymen those were having smart phone tried to use net banking. Some of the
participants executed the given protocol and were satisfied. The application was very convenient and
useful as it is hassle free. Many women/ laymen were having smile on their face after accomplishing the
operation at their own. Similarly, they were informed about the probable frauds during careless transaction.
Some of the women approached to the students to satisfy their queries of the frauds and operational
glitches.
Problems Encountered-
1.Travelling becomes sometime troublesome due to improper condition of road in interior areas.
2.Bringing all the women/ laymen together for the group program in that area often not possible.
College and classrooms imparts education and knowledge to the incumbent students based on the syllabus.
Students try to grasp and regurgitate the same during examinations seeking maximum marks out of it. This
is the rote learning pervading the educational systems. Mostly the education acquired by the students
hardly transformed into knowledge and further its empirical application remains an unrealized dream. The
education must be transformed into knowledge and ultimately finish into empirical utilization. This kind of
transformation may be utopian dream but a little effort could help achieve a bit of this dream.
The student acquiring syllabus-oriented knowledge could be of little help to the general public. There are
few points/ topics/ brief pieces of information from the syllabus of the students that may be useful for a
layman and general public. Such piece of knowledge, not the extensive syllabus, usually remain locked
with the students. The esoteric terminological syllabus based knowledge that could be useful/ utilizable to
the common public, simplified and given to the general masses to make them understand some aspects
related to common day-to-day life. Common societies always have some common misconceptions,
misunderstandings or unresolved conceptions that tend to influence their day-to-day life. These unfounded
beliefs and misbelieves are carried by a commoner unanswered and wrapped up in mystery throughout
their lives. For instance, how life originated on the earth? Is there supernatural power governing the world?
Who is the governor of universe? Where does life go after death? How heart beats? How child is
procreated? Are plants alive? Such strings of queries out of curiosity may nags layman’s’ mind. Not all
people get pertinent and rational answers to such queries. Non-availability of proper guidance and
instructions may ensue in spread of misunderstanding of mysteries among commoners.
The present practice aims to harness the available immense potential as human resource in the form of
students and knowledge that is available in academic domains. Students from different streams of subjects
could be taught and trained by the faculties of the college to answer simple and common curious questions
posed by common people. The faculties of different subjects with relevant content would prepare
simplified templates from the complex syllabus and students will be prepared to expound the same
concepts in simple vernaculars so that people could understand it so that their mystical queries could be
answered.
The context:
Propagation of knowledge from class to community is need of hour. The unutilized instinctive community
beneficial potential of students could be pressed into knowledge philanthropically. Students will be
sensitized to the pervading ignorance of family members, neighbours and could contribute towards
dispelling of common misconceptions persistent in the society. This will help to promote informal teaching
ability of a student. Students can become a harbinger of dissemination of knowledge for society at micro
level. It has been observed that common people are afflicted with very common misconceptions, and
students can eradicate this prevailing ignorance and misconceptions.
The practice:
1.There is very common belief that, this world, living and non-living is created by some supernatural
non-human existence commonly termed as Almighty or God. Laymen are holding this belief since
time immemorial. In College, students learn that life biomolecules originate spontaneously through
natural interactions between available inorganic materials then available on the earth. Students
prove it through Miller and Urey experimentation. A rationalistic scientific view could debunk
older beliefs.
proper diet.
This has yielded positive outcomes. Informal dialogue between student and their community members
brought good change in the belief of people. People astonish to learn the concept and with new zeal accept
the science based approach to their queries. Some people are hard to believe the newer ideas since it might
hurt their age-old beliefs, especially concept concerning to theism. Conflicting situations sometimes arise
because of indigestible newer ideas. Elderly people are most vulnerable for conflicting thoughts. Instilled
beliefs are hardly eradicated hence students on some occasions enter into dissenting mode with the person
they are dealing with. However, most of the time the expedition of student proves fruitful. Students
spread the knowledge they have learned from their respective subjects in small fragments or
briefness, this is most rewarding aspect of this practice. It may be a contribution, though a miniscule
one, to the society which is living in knowledge desert.
