1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Dayanand Anglo-Vedic (PG) College is the second oldest heritage college in Kanpur, India. It is situated
opposite Green Park Stadium in the civil lines locality of the city. Founded by Lala Diwan Chand in 1919, it is
the preeminent seat of higher learning in the region which takes pride in having given to the nation a Prime
Minister (Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee) and a President (Sri Ramnath Kovind Ji) along with many
civil servants, scientists, officers to the armed forces of the country, police officers and eminent politicians who
adorn institution's glittering list of alumni. Starting as an affiliate college of Agra University, currently it is
affiliated with Chhatrapati Sahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur. The college has been accredited B++ by the
Indian NAAC. Prof Arun Kumar Dixit is the serving principal of this college currently. The college is leaping
ahead with quality and grandeur under the dextrous management of the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College Trust
and Management Society (DAV). The college had been closely associated with Indian National Movement
since its inception and had served as clandestine operational base of many revolutionary secret societies. The
college provided shelter to revolutionary leaders like Chandra Shekhar Azad and played host to the father of the
Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, during his visit to the city in 1928 at the peak of national movement. The college
offers a diversified package of courses to the students in the region, 22 courses under government-aided scheme
and several others under self finance scheme. We have diversified more with regard to course package to
provide for NEP-2020.
Vision
DAV College, Kanpur envisions itself as a beacon of academic excellence and ethical values. It aims to be a
leading institution that contributes to the development of society by nurturing a cadre of students who are
equipped with knowledge, skills, and a deep sense of social responsibility. The college is committed to

Mission
Through continuous improvement and adherence to the highest standards of teaching and research, we aim to
give a glorious shape to the future of the students by equipping them with the necessary tools to lead the change
in a rapidly evolving global landscape. The components of the holistic mission to realize the stated end are:
Our heritage institute takes immense pride in its core strength of huge band of faculties with great experience in
teaching and learning to be seamlessly bequeathed to the new generations of faculties and, thereby, creating a
continuum in the tradition of teaching and learning since the inception of the institute. Further, huge and diverse
faculty strength is a great boon for the institute to advance interdisciplinary teaching and research through in-
house collaborative approach under NEP 2020. The institute derives its strength from the core cultural values
which are deeply rooted into its spirited commitment to uphold the highest standards of ethics and personal
integrity in all its functioning. It is solemnly committed to foster a learning environment that encourages
creative thinking, spirit of inquiry, and uncompromised efforts at self-discovery. Inculcating the culture of
tolerance and peaceful coexistence and collective celebration of opportunities of excellence are the hallmark of
our heritage institute. Honesty, integrity, and cleanliness are the integral values that the college incessantly
strives to inculcate in its students. These values guide the institutional mission to mold socially responsible and
community-oriented individuals who are capacitated to contribute positively and progressively to the society.
The institute takes great pride in the glittering list of its alumni who have served or serving the nation in
varying capacities. Alumni engagement for advancing institutional outlook make our core strength
Institutional Weakness
The institutional strengths notwithstanding, we have certain bottlenecks in the form of compromised structural
assets like basic teaching-learning infrastructure, civic amenities etc which come in the way to the fullest
realization of the inherent potentials. Further, certain departments have a very poor teacher-taught ratio which
severely hamper the execution of variety of functions under NEP 2020. The delayed university results further
militate against appropriate institutional deliveries of teaching, research and continuous internal assessments
(CIEs) due to erratic schedules that are required to be coped with.
Institutional Opportunity
The institute foresees a great opportunity in academic and research fields in the light of new changes brought in
the respective domains through NEP 2020, provided we could dexterously deal with existing structural and
financial bottlenecks. Huge band of faculty spread over 22 departments and many members having polymathic
skills make a grand institutional launching pad for interdisciplinary strides in academics and research. Most of
the departments carry on UG, PG and research programs which distinguishes us as an excellent resource pool
for accommodating the evolving challenges in academics and research.
Institutional Challenge
Our institute provides for courses in basic studies with very few professional courses under self finance
schemes. The new challenges before us are declining trend among students for basic studies and a drastic
change in their mindset for professional courses that help them to find jobs for addressing existential challenge.
Our challenge is linked to attracting students to our college by offering more and more professional and short-
term skill-based courses. Mobilizing resources like funds and physical space to deal with the imminent
challenge is real and needs to be attended with utmost priority.
As per the statutory mandate for assuring institutional quality towards evolving an effective curricular
enrichment and implementation, the IQAC of the college maintains a seamless mechanism of information
sharing and communication with all the academic and administrative departments of the college for effectively
coordinating various activities of quality enhancement. For effective execution of the university academic
calendar, the centralized timetable committee and the departmental sub-committees are brought on a platform
to implement a foolproof and rewarding curricular program. The UGC's NSQF program as started during the
foregoing academic session continued to provide skill based curricular add-ons for the spirited students as
diploma and certificate courses. The regular positive feedback from students has emboldened us to streamline
our curricular aspects more and more to their rewarding careers.
The college has offerings for the students across Science, Humanities, Languages and Commerce faculties with
several programme options such as B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., B.Ed. M.A., M.Com., M.Sc., Certificate courses,
Ph.D. Besides the 22 disciplines offered via regular mode there are programmes in Electronics, Microbiology,
Biotechnology, Information Technology, Computer Application, under Self Finance scheme. The college has a
rich pool of 245 learned and qualified faculty members to cater to the needs of its 11537 students. The college
following NEP 2020 has semester based end term examination pattern and rigorous continuous internal
assessments (comprising subjective and objective questioning MCQ and discussions) dispersed all through the
semester. The admission to the programmes is through first cum first basis.
The college is committed for the holistic development of its students and enhancement of their learning
experiences via various contemporary methods and pedagogical aids. Consistent efforts are made to develop
skills of the students along with the classroom teaching. The students are encouraged for participation through:
1. Opportunities to apply their learnt skills in project work related to their course curriculum
2. Opportunities for cultural, social enrichment by the field visits, study tours and industrial visit
3. Opportunities for healthy competition through poster making and model making competitions (static
and working) for improvising their knowledge
4. opportunities of interactive learning via hands on training, Class seminars, quiz competitions, group
discussion and debates
5. opportunity of participatory learning through providing them opportunity to ask questions on the topic
relevant to the delivered lectures. They are also asked to suggest alternative ways to solve the problems
in order to encourage them think positively and constructively.
6. Opportunities for engagement via student seminars, Guest lectures on core subjects, carrier oriented
lectures, recent technology and research areas co-relating the references with contemporary context and
experiences. While teaching new course - NEP 2020 – examples from other subjects and sources are
also cited for comprehending the multidisciplinary facet of situations and cases and make learning
effective.
Teachers encourage the students to take group projects for developing team spirit in them and encourage them
to use the ICT facilities for enhancement of their soft skills.

Response:
Being an affiliate college of Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur, our role in curricular
design and development is not very significant. Nevertheless, certain faculties of the college, as
university’s course conveners, do play a significant role in design and development of the curriculum for
affiliate colleges of the university. In our capacity as an affiliate college, our endeavor is towards
effective and result-oriented implementation of affiliating university’s curriculum. All 22 departments of
the college have distinctively unique programs blended coherently with the common college module for
effective implementation of the academic curricula. Modern tools and techniques of teaching and
learning like PowerPoint slides containing audio-visual media etc have been effectively adopted by all
the departments for the objective realization of learning goals. At the beginning of every academic
session, all the departments conduct Student Induction Program to acquaint the students with the
faculty members, available facilities and ways with which to evolve a healthy rapport between the
teachers and the taught. In addition to the fixed departmental time tables, nested within the pan-college
one, the institution does provide for academic flexibilities for internal assessments under NEP-2020.
State-wide digital platform viz, ABACUS-UP portal, is functional for executing cross-institutional credit
transfers of the students. So far as academic calendar is concerned, again, being an affiliate college of the
CSJM University, we adopt the university academic calendar as it is, albeit minor flexibilities to give

character of student youth through voluntary community service.” Education through service’ is the
purpose of the NSS. The ideological orientation of the NSS is inspired by the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi
The aim is overall personality development through being a nice human and responsible citizen of India.

major challenge is the lack of resources. NSS units often lack adequate resources such as funds,
equipment and man power to carry out their activities effectively.

government of India, Government of U.P, and by C.S.J.M. University, Kanpur. The unit is helping
society with our small and important efforts.
Evidence of success-
Number of extension and outreach programs conducted by the institution. In 2019, on the occasion of the
teacher’s day volunteers planted trees in the college campus, awareness program near Gandhi ji’s statue
in the Phoolbagh and started cleanliness drive on Children’s Day. In January, 2020 volunteers completed

Problems encountered-
The biggest problem during NCC activities is university exams. Exams, the IGC and national RD camp
occur almost simultaneously. Therefore, cadets are in danger of missing an exam.
Even after completing IGC and RD camps, they are not assured of any fixed job.

Concluding Remarks :
Ours is a heritage seat of higher learning which was founded to carry on learning and research on the ideals of
Swami Dayanand to harmonise our traditional knowledge and wisdom with modern systems of education and
learning. The institute promotes culture of cohesiveness, high standards of ethics and integrity and collective
approach for achieving excellence in academics. Our academic mission is in conformity with the institutional
vision of shaping a genre of scholars who are intellectually bright and capacitated to become social assets.
Certain weaknesses arising from infrastructural and financial bottlenecks notwithstanding, we are pledged to
strive for excellence by putting the available resources to best optional use. We are not blind to the educational
and skill needs of the new aspirational generations which are accentuating before us as a new challenge. Riding
on our core strength of the huge band of mostly polymathic faculty members, we will triumphantly address the
challenges ahead and maintain our preeminence in the field of higher learning.
