Evaluative Report of the Department: Page 202

Preface The Saurashtra University has been mindful about the immense importance higher education has come to attain in the twenty-first century. Accordingly, along with keeping pace with the rapid changes of the times, it has accorded top priority to transform the information explosion into meaningful, coherent and relevant units of knowledge in the classroom. The University has been, in the last couple of decades, witness to the changing demography in higher education with lots of first-time students entering the campus from sections of the society hitherto not having access to higher education. It thus is aware of the social responsibility towards such students, making available to them meaningful curricula and research opportunities that would be synchronous with developing them intellectually and preparing them for potential employment opportunities. Additionally, the University has been active in forging meaningful dialogues and linkages with its immediate society as well as institutions of repute within the country and beyond. It sees its Alumni as an important asset in such an endeavour of establishing meaningful communication with the larger society. The University has made important strides in the last decade in research and recognizes it as the most important area where as an institution of higher learning we can make concrete and path-breaking contribution to the society. In this endeavour, it has enabled all its basic sciences departments on the campus to carve a place for themselves in the field of meaningful research by attaining the UGC SAP-DRS / CAS / DST-FIST status. And in the next phase, the University is exploring the best possible means so that the other departments can emulate the achievement of these departments. Saurashtra University believes in the motto: Educate. Liberate. Transform. It is aware of the emphasis laid on education as an emancipating and transforming force by visionaries and social reformers like Swami Vivekanand and Mahatma Gandhi, and takes pride in the pioneering work done in this direction in the Saurashtra region by its founding Vice-Chancellor Professor Dolarrai Mankad. The University in its nearly five-decade long existence has been untiringly striving to spread the light of knowledge in its mandated area with the belief to prepare the young adult population of this region create a better society for all. Saurashtra University, an affiliating State conventional University has its jurisdiction over 9 districts in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Although there are a few important cities it covers, none of them are type-A metropolises. Rather, there are many mofussil towns and villages it has to reach out to, where people are not yet fully aware of the implications and benefits of higher education. Taking its educationally developing area as a challenge, and not overlooking the local socio-economic, cultural and developmental needs, Saurashtra Universitys vision is: To be at the vanguard of knowledge in the domain of higher learning and achieve the highest global standards. As a University, we take heart in the recent development of the State Government sanctioning us the first phase of a very encouraging amount as grants towards developing this University into a world-class University. Such encouragement gives us confidence in the quality of our present work, and motivates us to strive higher with a vision of this institution in the future. As it would become evident from the Re Accreditaiton Report, the University has a roadmap of the tasks that need to be prioritized in the years to come, and has established a full-fledged IQAC set-up that

would plan, coordinate and oversee the holistic qualitative development of this institution. The IQAC of the University has striven tirelessly to represent a true picture of our status, achievements, strengths as well as the challenges in front of us that we are certain to collectively overcome. I heartily compliment every member of our University family who has contributed in the Re Accreditaiton Report. I also consider this Report as a guiding document that would ever prompt us in our mission of improving the quality of life in harmony with our heritage, culture and environment as well as relating learning with the highest humane values.

Executive Summary

Strength

SWOC ANALYSIS The biggest strength of the University is its strong financial position (probably no University in the state would be having such own financial soundness as the Saurashtra University is having) The University is having extra ordinary research facilities with its applied and pure science departments e.g. Pharmaceutical Science, Chemistry, Bio Science, Physics, etc. The faculty and the campus is a optimum blend of highly experienced minds, emerging scholars and fresh talent providing an excellent learning ground for new-comers. They are provided with excellent infrastructure for research and teaching. The University has an excellent network of colleges reaching to the remotest area of the Saurashtra Region and it provides higher education at affordable cost. The University has been leader in implementation of UGC Higher Education Reform agenda. Unfilled teaching and non-teaching posts Public transportation is inadequately linked to the University headquarters There is a significant variation in research activities across the departments Harmonious stakeholders relations Good infrastructural Research, ICT, and Financial Support The SU may become a virtual leaning place by converting its course content and lectures in electronic form and giving access to its students registered for online courses. The Central and State Governments are cutting the size of the grants day by day and the expenses are increasing day by day. Monolithic hierarchical structure of governance of the University inherited from British system Multiplicity of diverse functioning and constraint on resources

Criterion wise Analytical Report Criterion I: Curricular Aspects 1.1Curriculum Design & Development: 1.1.1 How is the institutional vision and mission reflected in the academic programmes of the University?

The translation of the vision and mission of the University is done under a few well-planned stages. The first is to create a physical atmosphere conducive to a serious higher learning through qualitative modern infrastructure, amenities and campus ambience. The University is spread over an area of 363 acres of land, and although the Saurashtra region is geographically known to receive less than normal rainfall, it has taken aridity as a challenge and created a green oasis amidst surrounding urbanity by constructing check-dams and employing drip irrigation method for the ground water level and its numerous trees on the campus. Almost all of its 28 PG departments on the campus are housed in their own spacious buildinggiving them ample scope for future development without any worry of physical constraints. Modernization is an on-going drive for these buildings to provide students and teachers technology-enhanced teaching-learning environment. As part of its modernization drive, the entire campus now is Wi-Fi enabled. Next is the emphasis given to faculty enhancement, the faculty of the Saurashtra University possesses the highest qualification (Ph. D.). The faculty members are conversant with e-learning concepts and use them as effective learning aids. They are also active in enhancing their own knowledge quotient through regular FDPs and participation in seminars, conferences and workshops; a natural outcome of which is their sustained publications in recognized platforms. The curriculum framework of this University the backbone of learning is among the latest, which finds detailed mention in the immediate following section. Simultaneously, the feedback mechanism to learn from and maintain the standards has been in vogue in a regular manner. A very important aspect about vision and mission is not just to identify them but, having identified, to constantly strive to realize them and thus maintain and improve the standards. The Saurashtra University in its first accreditation (2002) was awarded with four stars by NAAC, and in its first re-accreditation (2009) obtained the highest CGPA score (2.93) among all the state conventional universities in Gujarat. This graph of progress has only been possible due to the Universitys constant efforts to achieve all -around excellence in higher education. 1.1.2 Does the University follow a systematic process in the design and development of the curriculum? If yes, give details of the process (need assessment, feedback, etc.)

In fact, Saurashtra University was the first in the state of Gujarat (and among the very first in western India) to switch over from the yearly to the semester system (2006), and then from the semester to the CBCS mode (2010). The curriculum of this University is a harmonious blend of where the frontiers of each discipline stands in the twenty-first century, and an awareness of the local needs vis-a-vis the subjects taught. The Board of Studies (BoS) in each subject is a body active in making an

17

assessment of these dual needs. It meets at least twice a year to deliberate upon the latest developments and brainstorm upon fresh needs if any. Members of the Board are in constant consultation with subject experts as well as in touch with leading publishers about latest trends and developing areas of scholarship. Being subject teachers themselves they are in a position to feel the feedback pulse from students about existing subjects and think of ways to incorporate them in the curricula. The Industries-Institution Interaction Cell (IIIC), an initiative of the Universitys IQAC is regularly in dialogue with industries and other private institutions to assess the outcome of syllabus learning and the hands-on realities of the outside world. The knowledge gained through such mechanisms serve as important feedback for modification of existing syllabi and designing newer ones. During the framing of new syllabi, there is always a concerted effort by the BoS, the Board of University Teaching (BUT) and Syndicate of the University. At the undergraduate level, affiliating colleges IQACs also contribute in this task. 1.1.3 How are the following aspects ensured through curriculum design and development?

Employability Innovation Research As mentioned in the previous section, the first step to ensure employability is to frame the curricula that always remain contemporary and aware of local and global employment needs. Regular assessment, modification and upgrading of curricula are a constant process in the University where the faculty of the University (through its Staff Council meetings), interaction with the Alumni at the departmental levels, and the BoS of various subjects as well as their deans play vital contributory roles. Additionally, the University has a full-fledged Career Counselling and Development Cell (CCDC) with its own separate building, staff and library that organize year-round programmes of counselling, coaching/training and informing students about avenues and opportunities of employment. The CCDC organises more than a dozens of programmes in the interest of students to coach and train them for appearing in competitive examinations. A brief note of the successful candidates in various examinations trained by the CCDC is shown in the table here below: Successful candidates in different Competitive Examinations: Sr. No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Name of Examination GPSC Class I GPSC Class II GPSC Class III GPSC District Mamlatdar Deputy Mamlatdar PSI SRP Talati Mantri 2009-10 1 4 1+1 (Lecturer) 1 5 1 1 3 1 Year 2010-11 2011-12 14 4 2 8 2 2012-13

Saurashtra University Competitive Exam Awareness Test (SUCEAT) is conducted by CCDC every year, to prepare students for the Competitive Exams like UPSC/GPSC/BANK/RAILWAY/SSS etc. Every year more than 12,000 students appear in these examinations. The district Toppers are awarded with complimentary prizes of General Studies Books worth Rs. 1000.00 each. CCDC has independent library facilities for students preparing for competitive examinations where there are more than thousand members, for whom the relevant books as well as free internet facility along with 15 magazines and three National daily newspapers are available. The IIIC of the Saurashtra University specifically pays attention to establishing linkages with industries and corporate houses with two specific purposes: a) finding the needs for professional employment; and b) exploring opportunities as to how those needs could optimally be met by the graduates and postgraduates of our University. The IIIC has organised more 30 important meetings in the last four academic years involving leading academician, industrialist, corporate professionals, etc. There is also a Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) on the campus which offers several value-added short-term courses and organises skill-enhancement training programmes round the year enhancing employability prospects. The element of innovation cuts across all aspects of the teaching-learning spectrum, from the smallest variations to big ideas. With respect to the curricula, innovation happens most often in how they are taught and how the students are given various creative and innovative tasks for their internals. The courses have been designed with inter-disciplinary and real-life case study aspects incorporated in them to broaden the horizon of the students and make them identify aspects of their curricula that have an impact in the society. Blended learning provides excellent opportunities for innovative classroom teaching. Faculty make use of e-resources for teaching along with traditional lecture and blackboard/white-board methods. The projects and assignments given to students make them explore their subjects beyond their text and reference books and encourage out-of-the box ideas. To this effect, organising seminars and workshops along with invitation to guest faculty by various departments on the campus and affiliating colleges besides being platforms of deliberations impacting the curricula also become events where new and innovative ideas and concepts are mooted and disseminated. A list of seminars/workshops/symposia held on the campus in the period between 2009 and 2013 is attached under the appropriate sub-section in Criterion 3 (3.1.11). Internet access for students enables them to source the latest information in their subjects and turn them into knowledge. The Academic Staff College (ASC) on the Campus is constantly engaged to impart FDPs that would motivate faculty to become and remain up-to-date and innovative in their areas of expertise and interest. The Saurashtra University is only the second University in the state to have a full-fledged on-campus ASC. A list of the ASC activities in the last four years is attached appropriately under sub-section 2.4.10. Research is a vital component of higher education and the strongest way to lend newness and innovation in disciplines of knowledge. Often universities are known outside their regions on the basis of their research strength. Saurashtra University too gives significant attention to research. Many departments like

20

Journalism & Mass Communication, Social Work, Library & Information Science, Psychology, Human Rights, Law, Education, Home Science, Commerce, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biosciences, Biochemistry and Statistics have a component of research at the Masters level itself. Full-time M. Phil. programmes are running on the campus to orient students towards deeper research. Students have to clear an entrance examination for securing admission to M. Phil. programme. For Ph. D., the Saurashtra University Common Admission Board (SUCAB) conducts PHD Entrance Test (PET) and the research proposals of successful candidates are screened by a duly constituted Research Development Committee (RDC) set up by the University; the candidates whose proposals are cleared by the RDC get final registration to Ph. D. programmes. It is noteworthy that the NET/JRF, SLET, and M. Phil. Candidates are exempted from the PET. A brief on the achievements of the various departments on the campus vis-a-vis research runs as follows: i) Departments of Biosciences, Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacyall credited with UGC-CAS/SAP, DST-FIST, Centre of Excellence, and other distinctions such as National Facility for Drug Discovery (NFDD) are renowned centres for research on the campus. Their relevant details are described in sub-section 3.2.5. The Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies has successfully completed the first phase of UGC-SAP/DRS on Indian Renaissance Literatures in English, Hindi and Gujarati. Psychological Scales developed and Psychometric Forms designed by the Department of Psychology are adopted as research tools by other Universities in the State. Statistical tools and methods of data analysis devised by the Department of Statistics are employed by many departments within and beyond the campus to augment their research. Department of Gujaratihas instituted the Zaverchand Meghani Lok Sahitya Kendra for study and research into Saurashtrian and Gujarati folklore. Research work in the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication has significantly enhanced understanding of the journalistic history of Saurashtra, both print and electronic. Research work in the Department of Hindi focuses on significant contemporary and emerging areas like Gender and Ethnic Studies. Research work in theDepartment of Economics has significantly enhanced understanding of Regional Economy. Department of Education is well known for its expertise in the areas of Experimental Research and Test Construction.

To what extent does the University use the guidelines of the regulatory bodies for developing and/or restructuring the curricula? Has the University been instrumental in leading any curricular reform which has created a national impact?

The UGC Curriculum Development Council (UGC CDC) syllabi models are followed as foundational yardsticks to develop or restructure the curricula. The same

21

applies for professional courses like Engineering, Architecture, Management and Pharmacy where the curricular norms laid down by AICTE& NCTE are followed; and the MCI, DCI, INC, etc.,norms are adhered to for medical and paramedical courses. Furthermore, the BoS in each subject regularly undertakes the assessment of existing curricula with an eye towards their retention or modification. The curricular overhauling has been a regular feature every three years in this University wherein the endeavour is to balance canonical learning with emerging new areas. The regional needs form an important discussion in these syllabus reform / modification meetings and these are incorporated mostly as a full-length course. To mention some highlights about the uniqueness of our curricula: Department of Biosciences offers courses (both at teaching and research levels) on Biodiversity, Coastal Ecosystem and Desert Ecosystem keeping into consideration the long coastline of the State and the climatic aridity of Saurashtra. Department of Physics with its excellent expertise in Nano Science & Technology offers inter-disciplinary courses in this area. It also offers a large and diversified packet of 12 electives out of which the students at the M.Sc. level can choose any 4. Department of Chemistry, with its strong research base in Pharmaceutical Sciences, offers highly advanced Pharma-Analytical, and Pharma-Organic, Physical & Material Sciences (Polymers & Physical Chemistry) courses. Department of Pharmacy is offering two unique courses: Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Research (PGDCR) and Certificate Course in Dialyses Techniques (CCDT), one of its kinds in the State.

Does the University interact with industry, research bodies and the civil society in the curriculum revision process? If so, how has the University benefitted through interactions with the stakeholders?

1.1.5

As mentioned in 1.1.3, the Industries-Institution Interaction Cell (IIIC), an initiative of the Universitys IQAC is regularly in dialogue with industries and other private institutions to assess the outcome of syllabus learning and the hands-on realities of the outside world. The IIIC of the Saurashtra University specifically pays attention to establishing linkages with industries and corporate houses with two specific purposes: a) finding the needs for professional employment; and b) exploring opportunities as to how those needs could optimally be met by the graduates and postgraduates of our University. Additionally each department on the campus is linked to their relevant research bodies and academic institutes like the Sciences with CSIR, Humanities with ICCR, ICHR, Sahitya Akademi, Social Sciences with ICRAR, etc. The Alumni of the University who are now established in various walks of their professional life maintain contacts with their respective departments. Interaction with such bodies and stakeholders help the University in incorporating latest areas of knowledge in its curricula as well as erect facilities and infrastructure on the campus. A point worth mentioning here arises from the Universitys interaction with the civil society: many people from the society make use of the green campus for their morning or evening walk. The University saw this as an opportunity to bring the members of the society on its campus and hence has facilitated them by creating foot-

23

paths on either side of the RCC roads that serve as walking tracks. A group of senior citizens from the society are especially fond of a patch of the Universitys beautiful garden and lawn which has a Saraswati Temple on it. The University also has an exclusive Fitness& Freshness Centre for Women to encourage home-makers and career women to maintain their health and fitness. The University Crche has been established to assist young working women with kids from the nearby society. And listening to a feedback from its students to provide them an informal students meeting space, the University has erected sitting circles under many of its trees as well as shaded huts at different points on the campus. 1.1.6 Give details of how the University facilitates the introduction of new programmes of studies in its affiliated colleges.

The University considers the BoS meetings of vital importance in framing and introduction of new programmes. The need for a new programme first emerges in the discussion within and feedback given to the BoS. The BoS of each discipline meets at least once every semester. The suggestions of the BoS for the introduction of a new programme are then sent to members of the Faculty, who after due formalities forward it to the Academic Council. The affiliating college then informs, and through a prescribed procedure applies to the University for Introduction of the new programme. On receipt of the application for a new programme/s, the University constitutes a need-cum-inspection team, the Local Inquiry Committee (LIC) visits the college to assess the physical infrastructure, qualified faculties, laboratories and libraries required to run the proposed courses. The report by the LIC is discussed and its recommendations are positioned before the Academic Council for the final decision.The Council studies the relevance and significance of the new programme and being convinced of its suitability, places the proposal to the Syndicate for ratification. The University has always maintained the policy of curricular revision and up gradation every fourth year and encourages the members of all the relevant bodies to be alert towards enhancement of knowledge through the introduction of contemporary, new and challenging programmes of studies. Section 1.1.4 above already contains the highlights of the uniqueness of our curricula. At the time of a major policy-level decision regarding redrafting of the programmes of studies, the movement of deliberations takes place top-downwards, i.e., from the Vice-chancellor and Syndicate to the BoS. Such a major policy shift took place last in 2010 when the University decided to implement the CBCS. A list of new programmes in the last four years and their date of approval is given below: Sr. Bachelor or Master Degree Programme No. 1 M. Phil. (Journalism) 2 3 4 B.Sc.

The University has initiated a dialogue with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) to systematically initiate the entry of foreign students on the campus under the ICCR Scholarship Schemes in 21 major areas. The number of foreign students in the University till now has been in the courses offered by the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun and Department of Pharmaceutical Science. The foreign students enrolling here are mostly from the SAARC countries. The number of foreign students enrolled in the years between 2009 and 2013 at this institute is four: two from Nepal, and one each from Mongolia, Guyana and one from Iran at the University Campus. Presently, students from USA, Iran, and other countries are studying under various research programmes. 1.2.4 Have any courses been developed targeting international students? If so, how successful have they been? If no, explain the impediments?

The Saurashtra University is having good infrastructure and courses designed for Research degree programmes.

1.2.7 Does the University provide the flexibility of bringing together the conventional face-to-face mode and distance mode of education and allow students to choose and combine the courses they are interested in? If yes give operational details. Apart from face-to-face mode, the University offers External Programmes, which is based on the CBCS model since 2010-11. The linking of both the Regular and External modes under CBCS has been done with a view to facilitate all students

32

with the same competitive syllabi, providing students with the flexibility of opting into the External mode, and reduce the drop-out rate. The courses offered under the External Programme are: B.A., B. Com., M.A., and M. Com. The new courses introduced from 2013 under the External Programme are: B.A. and M.A. in Gandhian Studies and M.A. in Education. The Saurashtra University website reflects all relevant information of the External Programmes. At present more than 29,000 students are enrolled per semester. The University is in the process of converting its external programmes into e-programmes. 1.2.8 Has the University adopted the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)? If yes, for how many programmes? What efforts have been made by the University to encourage the introduction of CBCS in its affiliated colleges?

All the 28 PG departments on the campus run their programmes according to the Choice Based Credit System as per the UGC guidelines from June 2010 onwards. (The inventory of programmes has already been furnished under sub-section 1.2.1 above.) The UG programmes run in the affiliated colleges (list in 1.2.1) also adopted CBCS. And as mentioned above under 1.2.7, even the external programmes since 2010-11 are being offered through the CBCS mode. 1.2.9 What percentage of programmes offered by the University follow: Annual system 12% Semester system (CBCS) 88% Trimester system 0%

1.2.10 How does the University promote inter-disciplinary programmes? Name a few programmes and comment on their outcome. The PG syllabus of every department on the campus has an inter-disciplinary component in the first two semesters. Particular programmes worth mentioning are: - Course in ECI at the Electronics Department: Here, students gain knowledge of not only electronics but computers and instrumentation too and thus making them holistically knowledgeable in these three inter-connected fields of knowledge. - Course in General Semantics at the English Department: The semantics in General Semantics is not connected to language studies or Linguistics but explores meaning ascribed by people to life in the larger sense and therefore this course encompasses other disciplines of knowledge like philosophy, psychology, political science, history, and even mathematics and certain other domains of pure sciences. - Course in Hospital Management at the Statistics Department is subscribed by many doctors who want to know how to better run their own private multi-speciality enterprises. - Course in Mathematical Logic at the Philosophy Department links philosophy and mathematics making students realize the overlap in these two disciplines and give students of philosophy and an extra epistemological and professional edge. - Course in Organo-pharmaceutical, Pharma Analytical and Physical Polymer Chemistry at the Chemistry Department equips students with the knowledge of muchin-demand specializations which are interdisciplinary.

33

- Course in Folklore at the Gujarati Department provides students of literature the knowledge of oral literatures/traditions; thereby grounding them soundly into their domain of creative / imaginative art. - Operations of Stock Exchanges: This is unique interdisciplinary course offered by the Commerce department. This paper is offered to all post graduate students giving exposure to stock market operations. - Basics of Computers, Personality Development and Interview Skills at the Hindi Department empower students with soft skills required for a competitive job milieu. The above cited are few examples of inter disciplinary approach adopted. 1.3 Curriculum Enrichment

1.3.1 How often is the curriculum of the University reviewed and upgraded for making it socially relevant and / or job oriented / knowledge intensive and making the emerging needs of the students and other stake holders? The curriculum of the University is generally reviewed every three years with the process being initiated through the Board of Studies, going through the respective Faculty, then finally approved by the Academic Council. The University, since moving over into the CBCS programme in 2010, has not initiated the curricular change this year in order to allow stabilization of the CBCS. Instead, the University has also made CBCS the norm for its External Programme since 2011, and is monitoring the transition by Statutory Authorities of the University. In several faculties, new courses and curriculum changes are done looking to the need in knowledge and requirement in society at large. 1.3.2 During the last four years, how many new programmes at UG and PG levels were introduced? Give details. The list of new programmes in the last four years is already attached under 1.1.6. Of these, 05 can be put under inter-disciplinary programmes, and 08 under programmes in emerging areas. Inter-disciplinary Programmes: Sr. No. 1 2 3 4 5 Bachelor or Master Degree Programme B.Sc.

1.3.3 What are the strategies adopted for the revision of the existing programmes? What percentage of courses underwent a syllabus revision? Strategy of the curricular revision and change is based upon a three-pronged process: a) The individual BoS for various disciplines deciding to bring about a revision, looking at the need to make the syllabus more contemporary, flexible and dynamic through inclusion of emerging and inter-disciplinary areas b) Timely suggestions given by governing academic bodies like UGC (CDC), AICTE etc. The thrust area of various disciplines of science is also taken into account. The University always endeavours in these changes to pay attention, incorporating the local requirements in its syllabus; and c) The University and individual departments seek advice from concerned external experts from both academia and industry. A major syllabus revision across the University took place in 2010 with the transition from the Semester to the CBCS mode. Apart from the list of new programmes introduced (mentioned in 1.3.2 above), since the transition from Semester to the CBCS mode, no change has been introduced in the existing courses. A revision is scheduled in the academic year 2014 15.

1.4 Feedback System 1.4.1 Does the University have a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students regarding the curriculum and how is it made use of? Feedback is a regular feature in all departments in the University. The University Authorities have taken adequate steps to formalize such practice.Here the University adheres to the NAAC feedback model, through its feedback forms for faculty as well as courses to be filled by the students at the end of each semester. Additionally, the existing alumnus with the departments is a very useful channel of feedback regarding a realistic standing of the curriculum and the improvement / enhancement required in them. For the operational aspects of the curriculum, every department has a feedback / grievance mechanism through which it obtains them on the various related issues.

37

1.4.2 Does the University elicit feedback on the curriculum from national and international faculty? If yes, specify a few methods such as conducting webinars, workshops, online discussions, etc., and its impact. Curriculum of every department is discussed at the departmental and individual levels with national / international scholars whenever they are on the campus visiting a particular department during events like seminars, conferences, workshops, CAS / SAP appraisal meetings etc. The faculties of University who are visiting various Universities and Institutes and places of Higher learning are also getting good feedback during such academic visit. It would be pertinent here to cite a few examples: - October 2013: Visit by eminent scholar and former HoD, English at Pune University, Professor Prashant Sinha and his discussion with the course coordinators of Gandhian Studies for the newly introduced BA and MA level programmes on Gandhian Studies. - August 2013: Visit by international scholar Dr. Babu Suthar from the University of Pennsylvania to the departments of Gujarati and English when the existing curricula of these departments were discussed in the context of a discussion on marginal literature, linguistics, literary criticism and theory. - April 2013: Visit by international scholar Professor P.C.

Juneja to the Department of English & CLS, for a discussion on the non-British and especially Canadian literature. - March 2010: Visit by international scholars on Comparative Literature, Professors Dorothy Figuera (America), Sieghild Bogumil (France), and Harish Trivedi (DU) to the Department of English & CLS, for a discussion on the existing curriculum on Comparative Literature. The UGC CAS Biosciences Department has had an illustrious number of national and international scholars who gave important suggestions for curriculum in the last four years, a list of which is as under: - January 2009: Visit by Dr. Zsolt Vegavariand Dr. Miriam Melanie Hansbauer, both from Hortbagy National Park (Hungary),University of Debrecen, Germany to the Department of Biosciences for a discussion on the latest research on European Crane. - April 2010: visit by Prof P. Ramasamy, Vice Chancellor, Alagappa University, Alagappa Nagar, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, to the Department of Biosciences for discussions on various issues related to educations reforms and collaborations - Besides these in-person discussions, the method employed for curricular interaction generally is telephonic and email discussion (with national scholars) and email (with international scholars). 1.4.3 Specify the mechanism through which affiliated institutions give feedback on curriculum enrichment and the extent to which it is made use of. The teachers of affiliated colleges have adequate representation in all BoS, Faculties and Academic Council through which their suggestions and feedback

38

regarding alteration, addition and modification/up gradation of the curriculum is addressed. These institutions follow the NAAC feedback model first for their own institutions and then communicate to the University on relevant issues raised from such feedback drives. The suggestions made by the BoS are outlined in 1.1.6. 1.4.4 What are the quality sustenance and quality enhancement measures undertaken by the University in ensuring the effective development of the curricula? Quality is sustained and enhanced in the curricula through the following measures: a) Framing competitive curricula to impart the students the best of learning in their subjects. b) Motivating the faculty to disseminate their curricular learning innovatively. c) Adopting a continuous assessment mechanism through the internal tests, projects, classroom seminars, assignments etc. d) Endeavouring to provide adequate inter-disciplinary exposure to the learners. e) Providing learners with technological facilities to enhance curricular learning. f) Paying attention to a rigorous and timely examination schedule for allowing students to test their curricular strengths. g) Organizing CCDC and IIIC sessions for students to provide them with ideas about the curricular demands in the outside world. h) Eminent professors from outside the University are co-opted in all the BoS and their suggestions for curriculum development are incorporated. * Any other information regarding Curricular Aspects which the University would like to include: The University wishes to reiterate that it was the first State Conventional University in the entire western India to introduce the CBCS curricular mode in 2010. The curriculum of many departments on the Campus has a strong regional need-based speciality; just to mention a few examples: the Bio-Sciences Department has a thrust on studying the coastal eco-system since Saurashtra and indeed Gujarat has the longest coastline in India (approx. 1600 kms); the Pharmacy Department runs courses on dialysis responding to the higher rate of renal diseases in the people of Saurashtra; the State being a hub for Pharmaceutical Industry, all the curricula of the Department of Chemistry and Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is oriented towards the need of such requirements along with other related chemical, intermediate, dyes and polymer industries; the Gujarati Department has earned a name in Bardic and Folk literatures, again drawing an inspiration from the rich oral heritage of Saurashtra. The University has a very active Career Counselling and Development Centre, reinforcing the curriculum taught on the campus with remedial coaching, career-oriented UPSC / GPSC / NET / SET training classes and possesses an excellent library with a full-time librarian of its own. The Academic Staff College and individual departments on the Campus regularly organizes FDPs on newer / emerging curricular areas.

39

The Centre for Continuing Education runs several Vocational, Skill Development, Personality Development, Self-Employment, and other short term courses for the community at large. The University fulfilled a long-held aspiration of the people of this region and of its own with the introduction of UG and PG level programmes on Gandhian Studies beginning 2013. By doing so, Saurashtra University is not only paying tribute to the father of our nation but becomes the only higher education institution in the State to offer such an extensive programme both for the UG and PG students. Incidentally, Saurashtra University not only has the academic jurisdiction over the birth-place of the Mahatma (Porbandar) but is itself located at the place (Rajkot) that shaped Gandhiji and where he (as well as Kasturba Gandhi) spent early years of their active life

Criterion II: Teaching-Learning and Evaluation 2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile 2.1.1 How does the University ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process? The University carries out publicity for admission in various newspapers as well as the University website. The respective departments then conduct Entrance Test for students desirous for PG admission. The broad syllabus and paper-style of the Entrance Test is made known to the students by each Department. 50% weightage is given to the score in the Entrance Test and 50% to the marks obtained in the qualifying (Bachelor's) examination. The individual departments inform students when their merit list would be prepared, and puts it on the notice board, and the University website stating there that if students find any discrepancy (especially regarding the marks they scored in their qualifying examination), they can draw the attention of the departmental office and then begins the admission process in accordance with the reservation policies of UGC and the Government of Gujarat as applicable from time to time. Students finding a place on the merit list are then informed from the office of respective departments about their registration process, paying of the fee, commencement of their studies etc. The wait listed candidates are also made aware of the status of the admission progress; and as per the availability of the seats vacant, they are admitted. Thus, students seeking admission in the University are notified about the entire admission process with an assurance of complete transparency. Students in professional program like MBA, MCA and M. Pharm are admitted by State Level Central Admission Committee. 2.1.2 Explain in detail the process of admission put in place by the University. List the criteria for admission: (e.g.: (i) merit, (ii) merit with entrance test, (iii)merit, entrance test and interview, (iv) common entrance test conducted by state agencies and national agencies (v) other criteria followed by the University (please specify). Most departments on the campus follow criterion (ii), i.e., merit with entrance test for admissions in the Masters and M. Phil. Programmes. Ph. D. admission is

40

through the common entrance test conducted by the Saurashtra University Common Admission Board (SUCAB) followed by the assessment of the Ph. D. proposals by the Research Development Committee (RDC). The students having qualified NET/JRF/SLET exams and those having M. Phil. degrees as per the UGC norms are exempted from the Ph. D. entrance test. The merit lists for various entrance tests are prepared within a maximum period of 48 hours as per the norms of the University and displayed on the notice board of each department and also uploaded on the departmental web space/page of the University website. Wherever common entrance test are mandatory, the University abides by the relevant norms, e.g., MBA and MCA. 2.1.3 Provide details of admission process in the affiliated colleges and the Universitys role in monitoring the same. Affiliated colleges have been issued the minimum guidelines for admission into the Bachelors programmes. They also have the course / syllabus related guidelines passed by the respective Boards of Studies, Faculty and the Academic Councils. Colleges are independent to admit students in their programmes, and each college advertises its guidelines and procedures. In case, in a particular academic year if the demand for admission exceeds than available seats, the University authority takes appropriate measures to ensure the smooth admission process to optimum number of desirous students by allowing increase in number of seats in colleges. The entire data related to students registration from the affiliating colleges come to the University forming a centralised data of UG students. With effect from 2011, this vital data regarding students registration has become online and the enrolment number assigned to a student remains the same till the completion of the programme. 2.1.4 Does the University have a mechanism to review its admission process and student profile annually? If yes, what is the outcome of such an analysis and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process? Departments on the campus review its admission process and student profile twice a year at the time of admission and before the semester-end examination as regards attendance, dropouts, internal evaluation, overall progress, etc. The Staff Councils in general and the Admission Committees in particular is deliberate upon the graduate results of the year and the academic trends of graduate students, both of which facilitate an idea as regards the demand of postgraduate programmes on the campus. Having assessed the demand of a particular PG programme through the number of application forms, the Admission Committee strategizes upon the difficulty level of the entrance examination. In case there is an increased demand of a particular PG programme in an academic year, the department seeks permission to increase the intake number which is very positively responded by the University. The University has formed a special wing called SUCAB (Saurashtra University Common Admission Board) since 2012 to streamline admission procedure in certain programmes, which are always in demand like B.Ed., M.Ed., M. S. W., and M.Sc. (IT) besides monitoring the Ph. D. Entrance of the University. The objectivity of the admission procedure is ensured by getting the OMR based test papers prepared from a competent external agency.

41

2.1.5 What are the strategies adopted to increase / improve access for students belonging to the following categories: SC/ST; OBC; women; persons with varied disabilities; economically weaker sections; outstanding achievers in sports and other extra-curricular activities. The University meticulously follows admission in accordance with the reservation policies of the UGC and the State Government as regards students from SC/ST, OBC and SEBC categories. A general positive trend over the past decade worth mentioning in this context has been the rise of women students seeking admission on the campus across the categories (as is also reflected in 2.1.6 below). Many of these students as well as many men from the SC, ST and OBC categories coming to the campus are first generation University students. Each department on the campus would have more than half a dozen examples of under-privileged women and men becoming shining examples for their community and motivating others to empower themselves with higher education. Women students are exempted from paying the tuition fees in all grant-in-aid courses. Moreover, the University has one seat reserved in every department as a super-annuity seat for the single girl child. As per State Government norms, there is a 3% special reservation for differently-abled students. The University ensures that the seats are filled up by the candidates belonging to different categories as per these policies. The University has a unique Earn-While-Learn Scheme for providing earning opportunities to financially constrained students. A special hostel (at present only for boys) has also been constructed for providing staying facilities to such students. The University encourages admission to students who are achievers in sports. It has trainers for 20 different sports and encourages its sportsmen and women to participate in various events bearing their expenses towards travel, boarding and lodging. 2.1.6 Number of students admitted in University departments in the last four Academic years: (SC, ST, OBC, General, Others) Students Admitted in University Departments in the Last Four Academic Years 2009-2010 CATEGORY M SC ST OBC GENERAL OTHER 115 25 270 506 14 F 71 31 171 392 24 M 106 34 243 449 13 F 62 25 152 416 16 M 89 28 219 366 17 F 64 15 161 438 28 M 78 38 256 333 9 F 74 33 200 297 24 2010-2011 2011-2012 2012-2013

42

2.1.7 Has the University conducted any analysis of demand ratio for the various programmes of the University departments and affiliated colleges? If so, highlight the significant trends explaining the reasons for increase / decrease. The analysis is tabulated as under: Programs UG PG Integrated Masters M. Phil. Ph. D. Integrated Ph. D. Certificate Diploma PG Diploma Any Other Number of Application 8648 29 1867 931 Number of Student Admitted 3932 27 903 466 Demand Ratio 46% 93% 48% 50%

170

122

71%

The trend from the above table can be analysed as: in Arts & Humanities, the demand ratio for Masters, M. Phil., and Ph. D. is decreasing; whereas the demand ratio is increasing for Masters, M. Phil. and Ph. D. in the departments like Science, Commerce, and Management. However, the demand ratio for Masters and Ph. D. is increasing in departments like Law and Human Rights, Home Science. 2.1.8 Were any programmes discontinued / staggered by the University in the last four years? If yes, please specify the reasons. Information regarding programmes discontinued by the University: Under the Faculty of Education, Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.E. 3 years Programme) and B. P. Ed. One year Programme, after graduation, is now transferred to Gujarat Swarnim Sports University and B. Ed. (Rural Studies) is converted as the B. Ed. Basic Education. Diploma in Business Management (DBM) under the faculty of Management Self-financed programme of M. Phil. under the faculty of Commerce B. Sc. Instrumentation (Vocational) B.A LL. B. Integrated Diploma in Vallabha Vedant

The list of the courses discontinued, running in the affiliated colleges, shall be provided to the peer team at the time of visit.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity 2.2.1 Does the University organize orientation / induction programmes for freshers? If yes, give details such as the duration, issues covered, experts involved and mechanism for using the feedback in subsequent years. All departments on the Campus conduct a time-tested mechanism for the orientation and induction programme for the freshers. The senior batch of students decides on a day for the formal welcome cum induction of the new students in the departments. This day is generally fixed within the first fortnight of the arrival of the new batch of students. The programme has a formal and an informal session. In the former, all faculty members, non-teaching staff and generally the head of the Institute (Honble Vice-Chancellor and / or the Registrar) are invited. Students here articulate their experience in the department and also their expectations. It is a session where the University gets a glimpse of the aspirations of their most important stake-holders and obtains an idea to optimally channelize these in the upcoming months of the semester. The latter session gives an opportunity for the students to know each other and their department. This session also brings out the extra-curricular / cultural talents of the students helping each department to identify them for future programmes like the University Youth Festival. Academically, all the Courses are introduced to the students during the first week itself, particularly, the Elective Courses. A proper induction of every course is organized, which helps the students in the selection of the Elective Courses. The teacher-in -charge provides general outline of the Course. 2.2.2 Does the University have a mechanism through which the differential requirements of the student population are analysed after admission and before the commencement of classes? If so, how are the key issues identified and addressed? The differential level, requirements, motivation and expectations of the students are gauged during the interview session of the incoming students after they clear the merit in each department. These become more definite during the first week of commencement of teaching when each faculty introduces his course, charts its outline and scope and invites students' queries, doubts and clarifications towards the particular course or the programme in general. These are then generally discussed in the Staff Council wherein academic planning and strategies regarding lesson-planning and students task for their internals are discussed. Tentative identification of group leaders for academic and extra-curricular activities is also carried out at this stage. The accommodation and hostel facilities for students are also addressed and the students are given advice on alternatives when they are unable to get admission at various hostels of the University campus. 2.2.3 Does the University offer bridge / remedial / add-on courses? If yes, how are they structured into the time table? Give details of the courses offered, department-wise / faculty-wise. Many departments on the Campus organize remedial courses. They are conducted and structured outside the regular time table. As mentioned in 1.1.3, the University has a special Career Counselling & Development Cell (CCDC) looking after the remedial

44

requirements of students on the campus and has a structured time-table (kept mostly on week-ends) for such activities. Some departments on the campus have their own remedial schedule. For example, the Department of English & CLS runs a remedial capsule targeting especially their first semester new entrants wholly managed by mentors from their Alumni. The CCDC of the University regularly organizes remedial classes. Besides CCDC, NET / SLET Coaching Centre, Entry into Service Centre are run by faculties which cover both under privileged and general stream of students. Focus is also given to strengthen the soft-skills of the students on the campus. 2.2.4 Has the University conducted any study on the academic growth of students from disadvantaged sections of society, economically disadvantaged, physically handicapped, slow learners, etc.? If yes, what are the main findings? The Staff Councils discuss the academic growth of all students including the disadvantaged students. The main findings over the years in this regard have been: i) Economic problem is the least of all the problems of disadvantage, as the University fees are very nominal. However, economically weaker students are sometimes disheartened by the rising cost of living. The departments encourage such students to minimize the cost of books and materials by getting in touch with the senior batch and forming study groups where such materials can be shared. The departments also make it known to all its students to contact any faculty in case of facing a financial crunch affecting their studies. ii) Students disadvantaged by any form of physical handicap require motivational and psychological support from their peers and teachers. The departments ensure a congenial academic and inter-personal ambience that would make any physically challenged student least conscious of their handicap. They make a conscious effort to see that such a student is involved in academic and extra-curricular activities optimally. A designated faculty member in each department looks after such students. iii) Departments also share even a minor achievement of any disadvantaged student with all others not only to instil a sense of self-confidence and joy in such a student but also that they can be a source of motivation for others like them. iv) Slow learners are encouraged dually: a) through remedial classes; and b) encouraging them to approach either their seniors / advanced learners or seek some extra study time from their teachers for clearing doubts and understanding concepts / issues. 2.2.5 How does the University identify and respond to the learning needs of advanced learners? The departments endeavour to cultivate gifted and talented learners by motivating them towards more challenging assignments and classroom presentations and seminars. They are also entrusted group-leaders roles during group activities, and requested to become peer-mentors for their slow learner classmates. Each department is vigilant over identifying advance learners. The faculties are working as mentors of such students and they are encouraged for many advanced level academic endeavours. They are encouraged by sending them to various workshops, seminars, symposia and conferences. They are also encouraged to apply in various training programs, summer institutes and short term programs at institutes of higher learning. Many advanced learners have successfully entered into premium

45

institutes of India and abroad for their PG level work, dissertations etc. More than 50 students have gone to Belgium, Taiwan, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria, UK, Greece, etc. for their pre doctoral, doctoral and post-doc assignments. The detail shall be made available to the Peer Team at the time of their visit. 2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the University plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules (academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.)? University publishes Academic Calendar and University Diary every year which helps in planning and organization. Every departmental Staff Council also in its meeting takes decisions on these matters. Academic Calendar is approved by the Academic Council. Usually, the departments offer different specialization in the form of the Electives. The teachers have ample academic freedom and flexibility to run the course classes, practical and dissertation. The concerned teacher puts his plan before the Staff Council, and then it is reflected on the time-table for the students. The departments also make aware to the students the submission dates of their internal assignments / projects/ classroom activities; dates of internal tests (and its paperpattern) are made known to them; also, the dates of contributory teachers / visiting faculty are made known to the students well in advance. 2.3.2 Does the University provide course outlines and course schedules prior to the commencement of the academic session? If yes, how is the effectiveness of the process ensured? The syllabi of all the 28 departments have been put up on the website of the Saurashtra University. Additionally, each student entering a department is given the syllabus booklet for all the 4 semesters including a list of reading materials, references and recommended books. After the admission process is over, the teachers in charge of the concerned Course deliver an induction lecture which helps the students in choosing their electives. The students come to know the teachers in charge, the course content, the course planner, the reference books, time table and the nature of internal and the semester-end examination in the given course in advance. Such an effective practice enables students to plan their study schedule, becoming a veritable blueprint for their learning outcome. 2.3.3 Does the University face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the stipulated time frame and calendar? If yes, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional measures to overcome these. We are facing some problems related to curriculum completion. There are several reasons which are responsible for this; e.g., mini vacations during major festivals. However, such challenges are resolved by taking extra lectures on holidays and whenever the students are available during the semester.

46

2.3.4 How is learning made student-centric? Give a list of participatory learning activities adopted by the faculty that contributes to holistic development and improved student learning, besides facilitating life-long learning and knowledge management. Teachers give hand-outs of their lectures or project them as PPT talks which encourage the students to interact in the class. They are given assignments to complete. They make seminar presentations. Moreover, through quizzes, group work and group discussions and extra-curricular activities their holistic development is improved. Student-centric approaches on the campus include: Interactive classroom teaching Group discussion / Group work Assignments and Project work Dissertation at PG level Classroom seminars Multimedia presentations e-learning Quizzes and tests Interaction with expert scholars other than teachers in the departments 2.3.5 What is the Universitys policy on inviting experts / people of eminence to deliver lectures and / or organize seminars for students? All Post Graduate departments decide for themselves as regards inviting eminent experts / scholars for classroom teaching, special lectures and research guidance. The University provides adequate funding from UGC schemes such as 'Teachers' Exchange Programme' and 'Visiting Fellow/Professor Scheme'. The University also provides additional financial support to all departments from the University Development Fund (UDF) and other resources to carry out such academic strives. Moreover, whenever a scholar comes for Ph. D. viva voce examination to the departments, he/she is requested to deliver a talk to the students. Organized seminars, conferences, workshops, etc., on the campus bring prominent national / international scholars and every department tries to make them interact with their students for some time. (A small illustrative list of such eminent scholars on our campus has already been mentioned in 1.3.4 as well as 1.4.2.). The University has created many chairs, centres and award lecture series to invite diverse persons of eminence to deliver lectures which are relevant to contemporary issues and interests; e.g., Dolarrai Mankad Annual Lecture series, V.M. Thakor Award Lectures, Narsinh Mehta Award Lectures, Zaverchand Meghani Award Lectures, etc. 2.3.6 Does the University formally encourage blended learning by using elearning resources? Yes, the University and it's faculties extensively use e-learning resources as their main sources of latest information. Also, the University provides Wi-Fi facility to all the faculty and students. The students are encouraged to have an access to authentic websites for the learning resources that would go beyond mere information and enhance knowledge.

47

INFLIBNET facility is provided to the University through which faculty on the campus (and through them the students) have access to latest papers / scholarly publications on such reputed e-sites for accessing journals in sciences, humanities, social sciences, and professional courses. The University is among 20 Universities which are identified for Sci-finder facility. The usage of Sci-finder at Saurashtra University is exemplary and higher than many reputed universities. Certain departments like Business Management and Law have subscribed for relevant databases. Students and faculties can access open journals across the campus. Infra-structurally, each department on the campus has at least one classroom equipped for a blended learning experience. 2.3.7 What are the technologies and facilities such as virtual laboratories, elearning, open educational resources and mobile education used by the faculty for effective teaching? Internet facility, multi-media projectors for PPTs, interactive boards in the classrooms, television, FM radio, e-Learning open resources on the web, e-libraries around the world, free e-books, virtual laboratories are made use of from an environment-friendly perspective as well when certain practical session on animals are conducted by running appropriate CDs, language laboratory, open educational sites (e.g. Khan's Academy), NPTEL video lectures (from IIT websites), online mock trading for securities and portfolio management classes, CMIE Prowess database and Capitalize database, etc., are variably used by the faculty on the campus for effective teaching. Many classes especially in the Sciences are held aided by technology, and even in the other faculties, Power-Point lectures are very common. Videoconferencing and on-line workshops are gradually becoming a norm on the campus. Equally gaining in preference is the use of social networking sites for communication between faculty and students on aspects of classroom discussion, class seminars etc. Many faculties have their own web pages, and put teaching / instructional matter on them. Some departments run their own blogs which dually serve as a site for current teaching-learning and facilitating networking with the Alumni. The CCDC of the University has a huge database of students emails and interacts with them regarding various issues of employment. SMS technology is used by the Examination Section for intimating students about results. 2.3.8 Is there any designated group among the faculty to monitor the trends and issues regarding developments in Open Source Community and integrate its benefits in the departments educational processes? Although there is no formal designated group among the faculty to monitor the trends and issues regarding developments in Open Source Community, the benefits of learning through open resources is well recognized by the faculty, and as evident from 2.3.6 and 2.3.7, adequate infrastructural and procedural measures are taken in this direction. Informally, the Staff Council of the various departments or the faculties designated by it, monitors trends and issues regarding the developments in the open source community e.g. Moodle, Google Group, etc. executing its benefits in the educational processes at various departments.

48

2.3.9 What steps has the University taken to orient traditional classrooms into 24x7 learning places? Our Wi-Fi campus provides such an opportunity to students and teachers to change the traditional classrooms into modern e-oriented teaching learning models. Many departmental students are connected through Google groups or Yahoo groups for connectivity and information passing for the students and even SMS and cell phones are utilized for such requirements. The faculties also provide their classroom notes, teaching aids, and learning resources through such closely connected groups. Using the University website facilities, many lectures are put on the web regularly enabling the students to access these learning materials whenever they want, 24x7. Some departments have their own websites and / or blogs / created Facebook groups where similar important academic aspects / events / talks etc., are featured. The University central library remains open from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm. The science departments and their laboratories are working day and night for research activities. 2.3.10 Is there a provision for the services of counsellors / mentors/ advisors for each class or group of students for academic, personal and psycho-social guidance? If yes, give details of the process and the number of students who have benefitted. All faculties act as counsellors/mentors and advisors to students for their academic, personal and psycho-social guidance, although it is not a formal set-up. Many departments have a regular interaction of their students with their Alumni who act as informal mentors to them. Of course, if a case arises for any serious mentoring (especially regarding personal and psycho-social guidance), a Staff Council meeting is convened to arrive at the best possible help to the student. It has been found that maximum counselling is required regarding confusion amongst the students about their career ahead. Respective teachers have several sessions every year to de-clutter students mind with unnecessary information and choices (in this age of information explosion) and make them realize their true potential and consequently focus on a commensurate career option. The Career Counselling and Development Centre (featured already in and 1.1.3 and 2.2.3) too is a great help in this regard. All the students have benefitted from this type of guidance to them. Such a counselling centre is available for all students at Department of Psychology on the campus. 2.3.11 Were any innovative teaching approaches/methods/practices adopted/put to use by the faculty during the last four years? If yes, did they improve learning? What were the methods used to evaluate the impact of such practices? What are the efforts made by the institution in giving the faculty due recognition for innovation in teaching? Innovative teaching methods include pair and group work, classroom quizzes, assignments, computer / multi-media aided learning seminar presentations, small projects, report writings, mini-thesis writing (resulting into a small Masters-level research), interviewing people, surveys, preparing PPTs, short films, invited guest lectures, and study tours. During the last few years, the development of Wi-Fi facilities across the University campus brought a wave of new innovative teaching approaches which has enriched classroom teaching enormously. Extensive use of the multimedia in teaching enabled faculty members to include varieties of updated

49

information and inter-disciplinary aspects in their lectures. Extensive use of the internet enriched the volume of the information and knowledge given to the students by the faculty members. Some of these methods are incorporated within their internal marks whereas others can be classified under informal and continuous assessment mode of the students. The University encourages more and more such practices by FDP trainings through its Academic Staff College. In most of the departments, a hierarchy is created from most senior Ph. D. scholars to the junior level master students to pass on several learning practices, experimental skills, computational skills, instrumentation training, writing research papers, preparing posters, accessing journals/research materials, funding applications, etc. Excellent results and outputs are observed in terms of knowledge, imparting training, extension and generating revenues. 2.3.12 How does the University create a culture of instilling and nurturing creativity and scientific temper among the learners? The University organizes several programmes related to the creation of scientific temper. In the last few years, several international conferences, symposia and workshops have been organized in order to promote scientific temper. The post graduate students are encouraged to participate with their research findings at various places in form of posters or oral presentations which give them excellent opportunity to learn the subject better. The students work closely with the Community Science Centre of the region to create scientific awareness. Students of the departments of Pharmacy and Biochemistry conducted the DST sponsored INSPIRES CAMPS consecutively in the years between 2009-2012. On the campus, there is a Vikram Sarabhai Centre created by ISRO, Geo Magnetic Observatory created by the Government of India and Centre of Excellence in Nano Science by GUJCOST. The National Facility for Drug Discovery Centre gives unique opportunity for creative minds for their entrepreneurship. The Bioscience Department has virtual bits for students who are higher learners in bio-informatics. The students of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Culture have adequate scope for exhibiting their talent through the Indubhai Parekh Art Gallery on the campus. All the departments have students display boards where their creative talent is exhibited. The University Youth Festival also provides an annual mega-platform for art and cultural activities. Various art / cultural competitions are also held in several departments like Traditional Recipe Making, Salad Dressing, Traditional Dressing and Grooming, Mehendi and Rangoli arts, folk performances, poster competitions on various topics etc. Overall, the University encourages the students to take critical interest in the matters of their study as well as socio-economic-cultural issues of our contemporary time. Besides encouraging them to interact in the class regarding queries and doubts, the project and assignments allocated to them as part of their internal evaluation motivate them to think out-of-the box and work systematically and coherently. Providing students ample exposure in their subjects through invited / visiting scholars broadens their horizon. Every department follows a system of reflecting and stocktaking of the major events happening there which is a very effective method of encouraging their creativity and scientific temper.

2.3.13 Does the University consider student projects mandatory in the learning programme? If yes, for how many programmes have they been (percentage of total) made mandatory? Number of projects executed within the University: Most of the Post Graduate Departments on the campus have project work as a part of their programmes. The comprehensive list of the project work shall be presented to the Peer Team members at the time of their campus visit. Names of external institutions associated with the University for student project work: The faculty members and the students of the maters programme decide about the title and type of their project work. In many cases, students carry out case studies of various industries or institutions; and in such fashion they are associated with the project work. An exhaustive list of such institutions shall be made available to the Peer Team members at the time of their visit. Some of the well-known external institutions / organizations worth mentioning here are: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai; Zydus Research Centre, Ahmedabad; Claris Life sciences, Ahmedabad; Intas Pharmaceuticals, Ahmedabad; Gujarat Ayurveda University, Jamnagar; CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad; BAN Laboratories, Rajkot; VASU Pharmaceuticals, Baroda; PDU Medical College, Rajkot; Cancer Hospital, Rajkot; Jilla Talim Bhavan (District Institute of Education and Training, DIET), Rajkot; Central Salt and Marine Research Institute (CSMRI), Bhavnagar, National Research Centre for Groundnut, Junagadh; H. M. Patel Institute of English, Vallabh Vidhyanagar; Balvant Parekh Centre for General Semantics and Other Human Sciences, Baroda; Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal; Wild Life Institute of India, Dehradun. Role of faculty in facilitating such projects: Students carry out their project work under the guidance of the faculty members. The faculty members role is very much important in wake of project work by students. The facultys role starts from the selection of the title, and it goes till the final report writing by students. Student's projects are a part of their internal evaluation in the various departments at the Masters level. Additionally, half of the 28 departments on the campus have a provision of a small research work leading to a report / mini-dissertation / dissertation within their curricula. Each student works under the supervision of a faculty member for their dissertation and other research works.

2.3.14 Does the University have a well-qualified pool of human resource to meet the requirements of the curriculum? If there is a shortfall, how is it supplemented? The existing permanent faculty and support staff are all qualified to the highest degree. There is however a shortfall in the State Government appointments and the University is in dialogue for sanctions to recruit qualified people. In fact the University has already advertised for a good number of teaching and administrative positions recently and expects to appoint the new qualified people soon. In the interim

51

period, the University has, through due procedures of appointment adhering to UGC and State Government norms, recruited ad-hoc teaching and non-teaching / administrative positions. Curricular requirements are thus well met, and even after these arrangements if the University feels that human resources are lacking anywhere affecting teaching-learning, such a shortfall is met by the appointment of visiting faculty / contractual teachers. In addition to these, many departments have good number of meritorious fellows, senior research fellows, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates and project fellows who are supporting permanent faculties in teaching and research. This opportunity to the young talent pool also provides them with a platform for their future academic career. They have played a vital role in teaching-learning and research activities of some of the departments. 2.3.15 How are the faculty enabled to prepare computer-aided teaching/ learning materials? What are the facilities available in the University for such efforts? Faculty members are provided with laptops and they are well versed with computer aided teaching/learning skills. The University has provided every department with computers (desktops) and multi-media equipments, LCD projectors, smart boards, Wi-Fi facility. The Computer Centre and the Academic Staff College (separately or jointly) assist the faculty in enhancing computer-aided teaching skills. The Central Library is a source of e-information that forms an important component for teaching. 2.3.16 Does the University have a mechanism for the evaluation of teachers by the students / Alumni? If yes, how is the evaluation feedback used to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process? Yes, the University has a regular feedback mechanism of its teachers from its existing batch of students according to the norms suggested by NAAC. Departments also have their own feedback / suggestion / grievance cell additionally. The Staff Councils of the departments peruse through the feedback, and assess their merit for brainstorming over improvements in the overall teaching-learning segment. Alumni feedback is still in its informal stage with some departments on the campus having their formed Alumni body and feedback mechanism. 2.4 Teacher Quality 2.4.1 How does the University plan and manage its human resources to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum? The University through its three-yearly mechanism of revising / upgrading its curricula, first of all arrives at identifying the emerging changes in the curricula. It then, in consultation with the departments, plans and manages its human resources to meet the changing requirements. The faculties are encouraged to enrich themselves with the latest happenings in their areas of teaching and expertise by participating in national / international conferences, seminars or workshops, to take part in the faculty exchange programmes with, or invited resource persons to other national / international academic institutes. Many faculties on the campus are invited to become

52

external referees for doctoral research which is an effective method of gaining exposure to the latest happenings in their field at other places, and to discuss / disseminate these ideas in their own departments. As regards managing its human resources for teaching the curricula, besides its tenured faculty, the University appoints ad hoc faculty through a proper selection procedure, and seeks assistance from visiting faculty / contributory teachers as well. 2.4.2 Furnish details of the faculty Qualifications of the teaching staff Permanent Teachers D.Sc. / D.Litt.

2.4.11 Does the University have a mechanism to encourage. Mobility of faculty between universities for teaching? Faculty exchange programmes with national and international bodies? If yes, how have these schemes helped in enriching the quality of the faculty? The University encourages all departments on the campus to avail of the various faculty exchange programmes in existence offered by the UGC. Additionally, on a personal basis, many faculties are attached with various national and international bodies and research institutes. Thus the departments invite faculty from other universities for teaching as well as facilitates its own faculty to go to other universities for the purpose of teaching under these UGC schemes. Certainly these schemes have proved to be very useful in giving exposure to our faculty (and also to an extent the students) for enriching their quality. Two faculties from USA selected Saurashtra University under the Faculty Exchange Program of Full Bright Scheme 2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms 2.5.1 How does the University ensure that all the stakeholders are aware of the evaluation processes that are in place? 1. As regards entrance examination to various courses on the campus are concerned, the University, through its respective departments conducting the entrance test (at PG and M. Phil. levels), announce the syllabus, paper-style, and duration of assessment / evaluation (for the preparation of merit list) well in advance to the students through announcement on its website, prominent dailies, as well as on the notice boards of the departments. 2. As regards internal tests / assessment of students are concerned, every department makes its students aware of the course content, dates of testing and methods of evaluation giving them sufficient time for preparation (unless it is a surprise test employed by certain faculty members of certain departments as part of innovative learning). Every student can consult their teachers to seek guidance on their internal scores obtained, air their queries / dissatisfaction if any, and discuss how they can improve their marks subsequently. 3. As regards semester-end examination arranged faculty-wise with prior announcement to the students (who are also informed about their semester calendar by their respective department), they are again made aware of the course content, paper style, dates of examination, and expected dates of results. The results of these final examinations are uploaded on the University website facilitating students to download them prior to obtaining the hard copy of their mark sheets. Students are also made aware by their teachers that they can also avail of the facility of reassessment of their semester-end answer scripts if they find themselves dissatisfied with the scores obtained. 4. As regards the evaluation process, students are informed about the declaration of their results and made aware of the re-evaluation process of the University in case they are not satisfied with the obtained marks. Additionally, the University has a provision through which a student scoring less percentage (even though he / she might have passed the exam) can re-attempt the PG examination within five years of the first attempt to improve the score.

57

5. The Evaluation process and procedure are widely made known through print (News paper) and electronic media thus making the other stakeholders aware of them. 2.5.2 What are the important examination reforms initiated by the University and to what extent have they been implemented in the University departments and affiliated colleges? Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the examination management system. The University has certainly made significant progress in examination reforms. The data is as under: Examination Reformations: Looking at the current traditional examination system, Saurashtra University has not put only concentration on term-end examination at the end of academic year but has taken efforts in the direction of continuous evaluation of University-certified degreeholders before they are accepted for the jobs in public and private sectors. Saurashtra University has implemented considerable changes as mentioned below: (a) Internal evaluation follows principle of those who teach should evaluate. The concerned faculty-member of department in University or affiliated college or recognized PG centre is doing the internal assessment by way of tutorials, seminars, lab work etc. The evaluation outcome is expressed by predetermined marks or even in some of the cases by grades. It is then announced and displayed on the notice board as per the time-frame. (b) End-of-semester evaluation is being carried out at the end of each semester to assess the skills and knowledge acquired by students. It is in the form of written examination or even in the form of lab work as per syllabi or credit schedule. Regarding lab work, the internal faculty are associated themselves with the external examiners in the examination process. The committees proficient in the subject are evaluating the end-of-semester test papers that can be in the format like object-type, essay-type etc. Answer-booklets are encoded and decoded before it is passed on to examiner / evaluator. (c) Integration of Internal & End-of-semester evaluation is being done with the consideration of following points: a. The integration procedure is applicable to all the students pursuing certificate, diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, M. Phil. & Ph. D. courses. b. The relational weightage of internal and end-of-semester evaluations is being carried out by University committees on the recommendations of Department committees. c. The relational weightage assigned to internal evaluation is ranging from 25 to 40 percent as per the UG & PG programmes. d. The results after integration are expressed in marks & grades as per the policy. e. University has kept the global trend by way of giving Cumulative Grade Point Score (CGPS).

58

f. The results are announced in keeping with the academic calendar to facilitate students academic or even occupational pursuits. Apart from above discussion, University has taken considerable changes in reformation of examination systems:1. Implementation of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) from June-2010 Saurashtra University has implemented CBCS from June-2010 as per the guidelines of UGC. With the implementation of this concept, students are getting an opportunity to study from larger range of teaching programmes available through the country. Campus Management System, a web-based online portal is developed with end-toend solution i.e. right from enrolling the students to the degree awarding. Following are some of the features:a. Enrollment / Enlistment / Registration is done online through college and there on checked and verified by University. b. Every college has been given username & password for authentication and through which filling of examination forms is being done. c. Required reports are being generated to conduct the exams wherein bar code & ID stickers concept is also used for maintaining confidentiality of answerbooklets. d. Hall tickets are being issued to the students along with time table printed on hall tickets. e. Internal, Practical, Project & Dissertation marks are being entered by colleges using their logins. f. External Examination marks are being entered by University to have finally reports like mark sheets, office register, college register, notification etc. g. Finally, students are getting their results through delivery of SMS in their mobile device with the use of SMS-Gateway embedded in web-based online portal. 2. Online Admissions for Students in External Courses from June-2012 Saurashtra University has taken a step ahead towards the technology by giving admissions to students through Online Admissions Supporting Systems. From anywhere & at any time approach, students were filling admission forms online for external courses under UG programmes like BA & B.Com and under PG programmes like MA & M.Com. During academic year 2012-13, approximately, 27242 students filled their forms online and saved their time, money and energy. Students were able to print Bank Challan for paying the fees to the nearest branch of Central Bank of India throughout the Gujarat state. Students are able to visualize their course syllabus, course rules & regulations, subject assignment definitions & its submission dates etc. online. Further, they are also able to see / print exam schedule, seat numbers, hall tickets etc. online. So, they need not come to the University personally. 3. SMS Supporting Systems from 2010 Saurashtra University has taken an approach one step ahead in Communication Systems for the benefit and better services to students. Students are delivered short messages on their mobile device regarding form acceptance acknowledgement, exam schedules, results etc. with the support of SMS-Gateway embedded in web-based online portal.

59

4. Online Question Paper Delivery Supporting Systems from June-2012 Saurashtra University is about to launch this concept from current semester exams. Academicians are submitting their subject question banks to the University. University has developed a confidential POOL for making these question banks digitized. A repository of such question banks is then maintained in Database Server with a certain authentication system. During the exam schedule, at the examination centre, before half-an-hour of exam commencement, the Principal & Senior Supervisor are delivered passwords in their personal login accounts. With the support of these secret passwords they will be able to open drawn question paper and will be printed on high-speed printers. This concept will save lots of time, money and human hours so far as the transportation, printing and human resources expenses are concerned. 5. Digitization of Answer Booklets from June-2012 Even though, giving respect to the maintenance of student answer-booklets submitted to the University by way of traditional system, University has started approaching the digitization of student answer-booklets with the support of high-speed scanners in a larger quantity. Scanned copy of student answer-booklets are then maintained in a Database Server which can be assessed by examiners at a later stage. 6. Digital Evaluation of Answer Booklets from June-2012 Eight faculties viz. Science, Home Science, Medical, Homeopathy, Architecture, Management, Education and Pharmacy among the overall thirteen faculties of Saurashtra University are assigned the task of digital evaluation of student answerbooklets from December-2012 semester term-end examination. Examiners appointed from the eight faculties are given their logins and passwords at the Centralized Assessment Centre, who will keep track of all the transactions. Examiners will do digital evaluation of student answer-booklets. This concept will save much more time and energy of examiners. The average time taken in declaration of results is, under this procedure, brought down to a maximum of one week. Further, it will prevent the mal-practice during the evaluation as MASK-PAGE concept is launched to hide the student details. After finishing of digital evaluation of any examination, the result can be declared within short period of time. The same concept is also applied to reevaluation of student answer-booklets. 7. Applying for Online Forms Filling for Conferring Degree Certificates from May-2013 Saurashtra University has taken a step ahead towards the technology by allowing students, who have passed regular courses before 2004 and external courses for any year, to apply for filling-up their form for conferring their degree certificates through Online Degree Form Filling Supporting Systems. From anywhere & at any time approach, students are filling forms online for conferring degree certificates. During academic year 2013-14, approximately, 6000+ students filled their forms online and saved their time, money and energy. Students were able to print Bank Challan for paying the fees to the nearest branch of Central Bank of India throughout the Gujarat state. Students are able to visualize their filled forms. Further, they are also able to see status of conferring degree certificates online. So, they need not come to the University personally. Same concept will be applied for issuing provisional degree certificates soon.

60

8. Payment Gateway Implementation in Online Admissions, Re-Assessment of Student Answer-Booklets, Issuing Provisional Degree Certificate etc. As compare to traditional systems of fees collection from students, University is going to apply technological implementations in fees collection by way of adopting PAYMENT GATEWAY embedded in web-based online portal. Students will be given different options like Net-Banking, Credit Card, Debit Card, Payment in nearest branch of Central Bank of India, in personal approach etc. It will also save lots of time, money and energy of students and even the process will be executed very fast and errorless. 9. As a part of Exam Reform, the University has prepared and implemented Question Bank in the faculty of Home Science and Homeopathy during the exam held in March / April 2009. 10. The University is providing study material to the students of PG external exams i.e. M.A. & M.Com. since the year 2007, prepared by senior faculty members of University department and colleges. 11. These is large increase in number of external students at UG level programmes like B.A. & B.Com and P.G. level programmes like M.A. & M.Com. examinations. 12. The University has organized convocation ceremony during the year 2008, 2009 & 2010. A separate convocation stadium is constructed on the University campus at a cost of about 4 crore. The University has received a donation of Rs. 1 Crore from Shree C.U. Shah. 13. A separate building for Students Convention Centre is constructed at a cost of Rs. 2.67 Crore, for conducting examination of 3000 students at a time. 14. The University has introduced a new format of mark sheet with in-built transcript with a photograph of students since March-2009 with considerable security features. 15. Besides above, the examination section has made notable automation efforts. Earlier, migration certificate, provisional eligibility certificate, eligibility certificate, enrolment / enlistment / PG registration work was carried out manually. Now, the work is updated with the help of online web-based application software. Even, work of enquiry window is computerized. Software for issue of appointment orders for paper setter and examiner is also implemented. 2.5.3 What is the average time taken by the University for Declaration of examination results? In case of delay, what measures have been taken to address them? Indicate the mode / media adopted by the University for the publication of examination results (e.g., website, SMS, email, etc.). The average time taken by the University for declaration of examination results (out of the 122 different kinds of examination it has to conduct), from the starting date of the examination to the declaration of results is 68 days. The University is exploring ways to bring the average down to below 60 days as a first step of further reforms. The results are put up on the University website and information of the same is circulated through SMS, and the prominent dailies in the city. Students can put their query through an email.

61

2.5.4 How does the University ensure transparency in the evaluation process? What are the rigorous features introduced by the University to ensure confidentiality? Transparency and objectivity are the prime concerns of the evaluation process, monitored strictly by the University. The rigorous steps in this direction include: Anonymous barcoding Shuffling of answer scripts Systematic routing of answer scripts to evaluators through a Tracking barcoding Software for moderation Generation of independent subject code, paper code, students code and evaluators code E-assessment of papers in 8 faculties within the University 2.5.5 Does the University have an integrated examination platform for the following processes? Pre-examination processes Time-table generation, OMR, student list generation, invigilators, squads, attendance sheet, online payment gateway, etc.: Yes, except for the online payment gateway. Examination process Examination materials management, logistics, etc. : Yes Post-examination processes Attendance capture, OMR-based exam result, auto processing, generic result processing, certification, etc.: Yes

2.5.6 Has the University introduced any reforms in its Ph. D. evaluation process? A pre-submission presentation by the candidate in his / her respective department is now the norm in the University which has bettered Ph. D. evaluation by making the thesis stronger and ridding it off any plagiarism. An open defence of the thesis is a usual norm nowadays. Guides are aware of software that checks plagiarism. The PDF formatted softcopy of the submitted thesis is also uploaded on the University website to make the Ph. D. process more transparent besides strengthening the University research-work database. The University has a database of competent external evaluators in all subjects. 2.5.7 Has the University created any provision for including the name of the college in the degree certificate? The name of the college appears at present in the marks-sheet of the student. 2.5.8 What is the mechanism for Redressal of grievances with reference to examinations? The University, as a first step in this direction has minimized the scope of grievances in the Internal Examination by strictly following the principle those who teach should evaluate. This keeps the students directly in interaction with their teacher-evaluators and also helps in their learning. The way for reducing grievances in

62

the Semester-end Examination is by forming committees of evaluators proficient in the subject, and within the subject, the particular papers within each subject. All students through their departments are made aware of the norms of re-assessment of semester-end papers. The University has brought down the average number of days for declaration of reassessment to 40. Apart from these aspects, such occasional grievances like a particular question paper containing out-of-syllabus questions are competently looked-into and judiciously resolved keeping the veracity of the grievance and students interest. 2.5.9 What efforts have been made by the University to streamline the operations at the Office of the Controller of Examinations? Mention any significant efforts which have improved the process and functioning of the examination division / section. The University has provided an exclusive infrastructural space to its Examination Section. The Controller of Examinations and his entire staff have been provided with ample physical space and state-of-the-art facilities like latest computers, communication equipment like FAX, photo-copiers, hi-speed internet etc., and power inverters so that vital functions of the section can remain operational throughout the year. A notable infrastructural boost has been a separate building called the Students Convention Centre, constructed at a cost of Rs. 2.67 crore, for conducting examination of 3000 students at a time. Aware of the menace of bogus marks-sheets / certificates and degrees, the University has introduced a new format of marks-sheet with in-built transcript with a photograph of students since March-2009 with considerable security features. Additionally, the Examination Section has made notable automation efforts. Earlier, migration certificate, provisional eligibility certificate, eligibility certificate, enrolment / enlistment / PG registration work was carried out manually. Now, the work is updated with the help of web-based application software. Even, work of the enquiry window is computerized. Software is also implemented for the issue of appointment orders, paper setters and examiners. 2.6 Student Performance and learning Outcomes 2.6.1 Has the University articulated its graduate attributes? If so, how does it facilitate and monitor its implementation and outcome? Yes. The students are informed about what is expected from them by the time they complete the programme. Also, during the course of study, these attributes are articulated and reiterated to them. Accordingly, the curriculum, the curricular and extra-curricular activities are organized in the departments. Even their internal evaluation is also in tune with that. 2.6.2 Does the University have clearly stated learning outcomes for its academic programmes/departments? If yes, give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these? Yes, the University has a very clearly spelt-out learning outcome for its programmes especially in the higher studies and research oriented programmes. The possible and minimum expected outcome is given in the syllabus of the research

63

oriented portion of the curriculum of PG courses. In case of research oriented courses, i.e., M. Phil. and Ph. D. programmes, students are expected to publish their outcome of the research in good and reputed journals as evidences of their grasp in learning the area of research chosen. 2.6.3 How are the Universitys teaching, learning and assessment strategies structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes? The achievement of the intended learning outcomes are assessed by following the UGC directed methods implemented by the University, i.e., the CBCS mode. 2.6.4 How does the University collect and analyse data on student learning outcomes and use it to overcome the barriers to learning? The student's learning outcomes in the various departments are analysed from the given assignments and seminars conducted from time to time. Any difficulty noticed thus, is attended almost immediately by the faculties. Suggetions from employers and other stackholders are invited openly by mail and other social networking for the learning outcome of the students and they are gradually implemented 2.6.5 What are the new technologies deployed by the University in enhancing student learning and evaluation and how does it seek to meet fresh/ future challenges? The details of the new technologies deployed by the University in enhancing student learning find comprehensive mention in 2.3.7. Assessment of papers through up-loaded answer-scripts in 8 faculties within the University is an indication to meet up to the future developments where technology can be harnessed in a beneficial way for all aspects of teaching, learning and evaluation. Any other information regarding Teaching, Learning and Evaluation? The University is moving in the direction of integrating newer technologies in all the three aspects. It envisages that use of technology would help in reducing the time in key aspects involving this criterion, e.g., in shortening the period of evaluation and reaching results quicker to the students. It plans to orient its students and faculty on the campus towards the newer modes of interactive learning to make the teachinglearning activities more exciting and result-oriented. Efforts would be to harness technology to create a network of scholars of global repute who would be accessible to our students too thereby increasing their exposure and competence. Emerging areas of learning shall be an important aspect of curricular reforms the University wishes to undertake in the coming academic year when the syllabus of most faculties would be revised / updated.

64

Criterion III: Reaserch, Consultancy and Extension 3.1 Promotion of Research 3.1.1 Does the University have a Research Committee to monitor and address issues related to research? If yes, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations which have been implemented and their impact. Yes, every department of the University has a research Committee known as Research Development Committee (RDC) which monitors and addresses issues related to research and Ph. D. program. The RDC comprises of Dean of the Faculty, Head of the Department, two external subject experts appointed by the ViceChancellor out of the approved panel, and faculty members who guides doctoral research. The University strictly follows UGC specified minimum standards and procedures for the award of Ph. D. degree, Regulation 2009. Some of the latest reforms made by the University are as under: 1. With the effect from 2012-13, the synopsis of research has to be submitted in a soft copy facilitating scrutiny for plagiarism and IPR. 2. The component of pre-submission presentation of thesis, another step towards strengthening research and rooting out malpractices, has been introduced w.e.f. the academic year 2012-13. 3. The research thesis is submitted also in a soft copy (PDF) so that it can be uploaded on INFLIBNET and the same is available in the University website. Putting such a work on a wider public domain is also an effective check against malpractices and plagiarism. 4. The candidate is required to present open pre-submission presentation in the department. 5. The viva-voce of the researcher includes a component of open defense in the respective department in presence of external referee, internal referee, head of the department, interested Alumni, current students (P.G. to Ph. D.) and all faculty of the department. 6. It is mandatory for the students have to publish at least one paper in peer reviewed and indexed journal from his/her research work. The student has to include the reprint in the thesis. The Committee also encourages young researchers to participate and present their research output in various academic events like conferences/seminars and to publish their research work in reputed journals. Some departments also conduct an "Annual Research Seminar" once a year for all its Ph. D. students to provide them a proper intellectual platform, track their research progress, and through an exposure of their work, motivate the aspiring researchers. 3.1.2 What is the policy of the University to promote research in its affiliated / constituent colleges? An important policy of the University to promote research in its affiliated colleges is the timely dissemination of all research related information. This is the first step to motivate college teachers to embark upon significant research projects like the UGC Major and Minor Research Projects. The number of college teachers being awarded such UGC research projects in the period between 2009 and 2013 is mentioned below. The faculty members of the various colleges affiliated with the

Allotment of funds in advance for sanctioned projects Seed money for research projects. Simplification of procedures related to sanctions / purchases to be made by the investigators Autonomy to the principal investigator/coordinator for utilizing overhead charges Timely release of grants Timely auditing

71

Submission of utilization certificate to the funding authorities

The first proactive step adopted by the University to facilitate smooth implementation of research schemes / projects is to make the various schemes / projects known to all the departments on the campus and the affiliated colleges. The Planning and Development Office of the University focuses on this job. The Office of the Registrar pays attention to the prompt processing of research proposals to various sanctioning and funding agencies like the UGC, DST, etc. Once any project is sanctioned, the CAOs office pays attention to wards the smooth sanctioning of the advances and other financial aspects of the research, including timely release of grants. The Audit section of the University does the financial-year-wise timely auditing of amount already utilized for research, and finally, preparing the Utilization Certificate. With respect to purchases including overhead charges, the University has given the same sanctioning authority to the PI as the Head of the Department. It is worth to mention that the University, through its IQAC, has been awarding Seed Money Grants for research to the faculty members of the PG departments. There is a formal process of screening and sanctioning of the grant (up to Rs. 50, 000/-). The details of the last five year Seed Money Project is mentioned in Best Academic Practice in 7.3.5. 3.1.4 How is interdisciplinary research promoted? *Between/among different departments /schools of the University and *Collaboration with national/international institutes / industries. Interdisciplinary research is promoted by encouraging the faculties to apply for Inter-Departmental projects, consultancy projects etc. The list of completed and ongoing collaborative projects with the prominent National and International Institutes are the ample testimony of the collaborations. For example, the Department of Biosciences has conducted two multi-institute major research projects involving IIT-Delhi, Delhi University-South Campus and Wildlife Institute, Dehradun in the recent past. Multi institutional approach is also reflected in some projects sponsored by the Government of Gujarat. There is also an Ordinance encouraging interdisciplinary research approach in Ph. D. program. For example, Department of Home Science has more than one Ph. D. students working in Inter-disciplinary areas like Home Science with Psychology, Sociology, Human Rights, Economics and MSW, etc. Similar practice is also followed at International level in department of Pharmacy, where a Foreign. Student from M. Sc. (Medicinal plant) is pursuing Ph. D. in Pharmacy. Intra-Departmental Interdisciplinary Research: Many departments encourage their students to undertake interdisciplinary research projects amongst different specializations. As an example, a researcher in Pharmaceutical science can choose interdisciplinary research topic amongst Pharmaceutics, Herbal Drug Technology, Pharmacology, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. Multi-Institute Interdisciplinary Research: Researchers are also encouraged to undertake interdisciplinary research projects in collaboration with various Departments of other Universities and Institutes. Several Departments of the University are engaged in this kind of interdisciplinary research with National Institutes like Gujarat Ayurveda University, Jamnagar; IIIM, Jammu; and Institute of Human Genetics, Ahmedabad. Collaborative research with International Institute like

72

University of New Mexico, USA is currently undergoing. Researchers are also engaged in interdisciplinary research collaborating with Industries, Hospitals and CROs like CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad; B. T. Savani Kidney Hospital, Rajkot; Civil Hospital and PDU Medical College, Rajkot; Wockhardt Hospital, Rajkot; BAN Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., Rajkot; Vasu Pharmaceuticals, Vadodara; and Espee Pharmaceuticals, Rajkot. MBA Department also has Interdisciplinary Ph.

Various centres of higher learning in science stream help students to take research challenges of inter disciplinary nature. The students are allowed to learn the techniques, laboratory skills, instruments and experimental protocols. Departmental faculties are helping research scholars not only from the campus but the researchers of neighbouring colleges, institutes and other universities too. The environment at the campus is very conducive for the research and is appreciated by several agencies. The facilities at many departments are continuously upgraded, expanded and a phenomenal growth is done to meet the requirement to work on frontal areas of research. E.g., material science, Nano technology, drug delivery systems, Nano herbal formulations, drug discovery, bio-informatics, chemo-informatics, medicinal chemistry, computer aided drug design, environmental pollution related research, bioremediation, marine biology, plant ecology, etc. Similarly, in humanities and social science and professional courses, the approach of faculties is to take up the challenges of current economy in global context and study the industrial growth of the region. Saurashtra has a very rich culture of language and dialects due to existence of diverse castes and creeds. This has given a great boost to take up the research topics related to this. 3.3.2 Does the University have an Information Resource Centre to cater to the needs of researchers? If yes, provide details of the facility. The University library keeps some useful information and students and researchers are taking benefit of this data. At departmental level, senior faculty member looks after providing the necessary information related to research. Periodically, various agencies of University train students to gather information from different resource centres. 3.3.3 Does the University have a University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC)? If yes, have the facilities been made available to research scholars? What is the funding allotted to USIC? However, the USIC facility is not available on the campus but every science department is equipped with necessary instruments for carrying out research activities in multiple departments. 3.3.4 Does the University provide residential facilities (with computer and internet facilities) for research scholars, post-doctoral fellows, research associates, summer fellows of various academies and visiting scientists (national/international)? University has the residential facilities having computer and internet (Wi-Fi) for research scholars, post doctoral students, NRIs, visiting scientists on the campus.

3.5 Consultancy 3.5.1 What is the official policy of the University for Structured Consultancy? List a few important consultancies undertaken by the University during the last four years. The University does have a policy document for Structured Consultancy that is placed on its website. The same document is attached below: IPR Policy for Saurashtra University Operative from 01-04-2008 The Saurashtra University has foreseen the importance of intellectual property rights & protection of innovation & research by strong IPR policy in favor of inventors. This was among first University whose academic leadership has foreseen the effect of globalization and first workshop on patent by Technology Forecasting and Assessment Council, (TIFAC), Department of Science & Technology, founded & headed by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam took place in March 1999. The Saurashtra University is spearheading with 3 Indian Patents, 1 US patents filed & few more are in the pipeline. Processes to support these efforts have been evolving over time and now have attained a level of maturity. A formal Framework to guide the implementation of these processes is now a clearly-felt need. An Intellectual Property Policy for SU has been formulated towards this goal. This policy aims to lay down, the processes for promotion and support available to innovators at SU for translating their creative works into IP. Parties engaged in creations of original and innovative work at SU includes faculty, staff and other employees of SU along with staff working on various projects, registered students of SU, students from other institutions, personnel from other organizations or any other individuals working in SU. This policy also aims to set forth guidelines for ownership of IP developed at SU by SU personnel and non-SU personnel and its commercialization. The aim of the IP Policy is to sustain and develop creativity in an ethical environment in SU that recognizes the importance of innovations and assists in translating them into products, processes and services for commercial exploitation and to achieve the widest public good. The Role of IPR CELL in IP Protection: The IPR cell at SU provides guidance, support and resources to all SU personnel and facilitates protection and deployment of intellectual property. In achieving this goal, IPR cell creates awareness of the importance and role of IP Rights, implements the IP policy, ensures transparency and fairness of the IP policy to encourage compliance, solicits feedback regarding the fulfillment of the IP policy and periodically reviews the Policy to improve upon any shortcomings, strengthens the infrastructure and resources for protection and exploitation of IP and makes available the expert inputs. Issues of ownership, confidentiality, disclosure, patentability, technology transfer, revenue sharing, and conflict of interest among others play a very important role in any IP management. IPR CELL conducts workshops to enhance awareness on related issues. IPR cell also provides templates and guidelines for the contracts, agreements and MOUs governing the effective exploitation of the IP produced by SU. All such agreements and matters relating to confidentiality, infringements, damages, liabilities and compliance are administered by IPR cell.

104

The IP Policy: This policy is applicable to all SU personnel, as well as non-SU personnel associated with any activity of SU such as, but not limited to, Continuing Education Programme and covers different classes of Intellectual Property -- Patent, Copyright, Trade Mark / Service Mark, Design Registration, Trade Secret, Confidential Information and Integrated Circuits Layout, management & commercial consultancy work. (I) Ownership: I(a) Invention(s), Designs, Integrated Circuit Layouts and other creative works: Invention(s) including software, designs and integrated circuit layouts, created by SU personnel without the use of significant SU resources and not connected with the profession for which employed at SU, shall be owned by the creator(s).

The two-pronged thrust of the mentoring programme aims at making the students adjust better with the University ethos, and become better learners in their subjects. Coming from different undergraduate colleges, the mentoring helps the students positively cope up with the wider exposure and learning pressure those academics at any University necessarily entails. 5.1.2 Apart from classroom interaction, what are the provisions available for academic mentoring? Mentoring takes place often in smaller groups and even individually. As mentioned in the section above, the platforms for mentoring other than the classroom

135

are seminars, conferences, study tours, sports meet, cultural activities, events of social responsibility like blood donation camps, slum visits etc. Such outside-the-classroom mentoring then happens also on non-working days / holidays, and often before / after the time-table hours. For other mentoring, the supporting systems like the Library, Computer Centre, etc., assist in academic mentoring. Many programmes of interdisciplinary nature are arranged to have better interaction of students and faculty so that multidisciplinary grooming is possible. 5.1.3 Does the University have any personal enhancement and development schemes such as career counselling, soft skill development, career-path-identification, and orientation to well-being for its students? Give details of such schemes. The University has a centralized Career Counselling and Development Cell (CCDC) linking all students on the campus with an email network and reaching them information about their academic and professional opportunities and development. Additionally, departments are running professional courses like MBA, MCA, MSW, M.Ed, M.Pharm etc., also directly inform their students about recruitment opportunities. Further, the CCDC arranges, training classes for competitive examinations as well as soft-skills development. The Academic Staff College also organises short-term courses for students pursuing their doctoral research. At departmental level, several short term skill enhancement programmes are arranged on regular basis round the year and when required. 5.1.4 Does the University provide assistance to students for obtaining educational loans from banks and other financial institutions? The University helps its needy students to secure educational loans from nationalized banks by providing necessary information and testimonials required. The students are sensitized by such schemes as and when declared by Government or other funding agencies and wide publicity by notice boards or e-mail is provided. 5.1.5 Does the University publish its updated prospectus and handbook annually? If yes, what are the main issues / activities / information included / provided to students through these documents? Is there a provision for online access? Most of the information mentioned above are provided on Saurashtra University website with important links and is updated regularly. All departments publish their prospectus and syllabus every year both in soft and hard copies. The University also makes some information visible by giving advertisements in print media. Every department on the campus provides its latest prospectus at the time of admission. The faculty / discipline wise commencement of courses is announced by the University through the print media as well as its own website from where the prospectus and application forms can be downloaded. 5.1.6 Specify the type and number of University scholarships / freeships given to the students during the last four years. Was financial aid given to them on time? Give details (in a tabular form) for the following categories: UG/PG/M. Phil. /Ph. D./ Diploma/others (please specify).

Independently, departments on the campus have their own Alumni association and activities. One can be mentioned as an example can be made here of the Alumni Association of the English Department that runs its own blog called http://Alumniengsu.wordpress.com/ with 123 followers at present and Facebook account with more than 400 likes, and a Google group named Alumniengsu@googlegroups.com . The blog created only in February 2012, in a short span has become an impressive site recording past events, trivia, and future programmes. As the figure on the blog shows, till October 2013, it has had 5485 visitors from all over the world. Another noteworthy thing of this Alumni Association is that it has till date collected a corpus fund of over Rs. 5 lakhs for its preparation of the 25th year of the Department. Besides, the Alumni association of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Business Management are doing tremendously well. 5.1.16 Does the University have a student grievance Redressal cell? Give details of the nature of grievances reported. How were they redressed? Yes. The University has student grievance redressal mechanism. Generally the grievances are related to admission, hostel, food, canteen, transport, library, cash counter, scholarships, examination time-tables, timely results, and also problems related to affiliated colleges. The University administration is sensitive towards students problem and therefore the problems of students if raised individually or collectively are addressed on top priority basis and resolved them immediately. The Vice Chancellor himself meets the students for their individual problems everyday in fix hours and the complaints are resolved by proper administrative measures or instructions to the concerned department or official of the University.

146

Every department on the campus has a students grievances unit consisting of faculty and students (senior and junior batch, girls and boys). Every department has a grievance / suggestion box installed for students to register their issues, and meetings of reading / discussion of these issues are held at regular intervals in the presence of the Head of the Department, Staff Council members, representative group of students, and if need be the non-teaching staff. The nature of grievances has so far been regarding issues like that of public transport to the campus and the commensurate problem of fleecing by the autorickshaw-walas, and consequently adjustments with the timings of classes; this problem is resolved amicably and flexibly in each department as this region has long hours of daylight. With effect from October 2013, the Municipality of Rajkot has, taking cognizance of representation from people of the city as well as the University, made a new effort of introducing a new line of city buses. Other issues are those regarding canteen and tiffin food / snacks etc. which is quite common in every institution with large number of people. The Universitys new canteen however has received favorable remarks from the students community. In the past, there has been a recurring problem of adjusting the summer exams in such a way that the problem of water scarcity (due to the natural aridity of this region) is avoided and yet the students get sufficient reading and preparation time, but this issue since the water of Narmada reaching Rajkot has not surfaced in any major way in the last four years. The University has recognized the need of one more girls hostel and that is being made operational by early 2014. 5.1.17 Does the University promote a gender-sensitive environment by (i) conducting gender related programmes (ii) establishing a cell and mechanism to deal with issues related to sexual harassment? Give details. The Saurashtra University and its post graduate departments and administration blocks have a track record of very promising atmosphere. The University has not faced any on-toward incidents related to gender bias or sexual harassment or even the complains related to ragging. The University promotes gender-sensitive environment by being consciously mindful of maintaining an unbiased equal platform for men and women in academics and extra-curricular activities. It strictly implements the State Govt. benefit of tuition fees for women to encourage more of them in higher education. It has a group of women prefects acting as representatives in case there are issues relating to women. Theres a formal Womens Grievance Redressal Cell on the campus to address issues related to sexual harassment, if any. No complaints have been registered with this Cell till now. Among the other gender related pro-active steps on the campus, there is an exclusive Womens Fitness Centre, Womens Day celebration (of academic and cultural events) is a regular feature, awareness campaigns are held by our students against female infanticide, and the University has a super-numerary seat in every department for the single girl child. 5.1.18 Is there an anti-ragging committee? How many instances, if any, have been reported during the last four years and what action has been taken in these cases? The University, in its history has not witnessed a single case of ragging. Yet every department on the campus, being aware that ragging is a nation-wide problem, has a staff and student incorporated mechanism to prevent ragging. All the departments on the University campus have anti ragging cell to address the issue.

147

However, the Saurashtra University campus can declare itself as a ragging free campus. 5.1.19 How does the University elicit the cooperation of all its stakeholders to ensure the overall development of its students? The University feels that its first task in this direction is to keep all its stakeholders aware of its academic and extra-curricular activities and in a relevant manner try to involve those too by measures like: Forming the Alumni Association. Intimating and inviting the parents at least once a year on the campus. Forming a special cell (the IIIC) for interaction with the industries and corporate bodies. Taking issues of social awareness directly to the people in the society. Conversely, creating a serene campus that would attract people from the society to visit the campus. Inviting public figures from the society on our campus. The University has successfully approached several individuals, philanthropist and state government agencies (which are also stakeholders), to increase infra structure in benefit of students community at large. Number of gold medals, fellowships, and other incentives are provided to the students annually by several donors. The elected representatives of this region have also contributed well for few projects of the University. 5.1.20 How does the University ensure the participation of women students in intra and inter-institutional sports competitions and cultural activities? Provide details of sports and cultural activities where such efforts were made. The University arranges number of competitions and also alerts its affiliated colleges for large number of enrolment of women sports persons to participate in activities / competitions at different levels like district, state and national. The Yuvak Mahotsav is a colourful event which is held annually. A large number of participants are taking part and the number of women participants are every time high event-wise. The further details are given in the document at relevant and appropriate place. As mentioned under 5.1.17, sports and fitness for women is also a University commitment, not merely a document in words. That is why there is an exclusive Womens Fitness Centre on the campus with the latest gym equipments and two fitness trainers. Theres an exclusive sports t rainer for women. Although there are outdoor facilities for sports for them like an athletics track, it has been seen that women students from our campus have shown more interest in indoor games like chess, badminton, table-tennis, handball and yoga. The Universitys decision to complete a state-of-the art indoor stadium targeted to be operational by early 2014 is an important pro-active step to encourage more womens participation in sports. In the cultural arena, women students have always participated and excelled in the dance forms of rasgarba and its several types famous in Saurashtra. The University has always encouraged them and promoted this performing art. They also have been encouraged in another Saurashtrian art form, i.e., Rangoli which is a fine art painting / picturing with the medium of coloured powder.

148

5.2 Student Progression 5.2.1 What is the student strength of the University for the current academic year? Analyze the Programme-wise data and provide the trends for the last four years. The student strength of the University for the Current Academic Year is 3106. The programme-wise data is as follows: Student Progression UG to PG PG to M. Phil. PG to Ph. D. Ph. D. to Post-Doctoral Employed - Campus Selection - Other than campus recruitment % N.A. 10 - 15 20 - 25 5 4 96

It can be inferred from the above data that during the last four years (i.e. 2009 2013), the number of students passing Ph. D. degree has increased remarkably.

Criterion VI: Governance, Leadership and Management 6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership The University logo: The University is guided by its basic value (Pavka Nah: Saraswati Scripted in Sanskrit language), meaning: Let our Learning be Purifying which is also embedded in the Universitys emblem. The motto of the University is: To Educate, Liberate and Transform. This captures the central spirit of the very being of the University and its dynamic role in the lives of people of this region. The Vision, Mission and Value statements of the University are displayed at important places of the University to make all the stakeholders aware of our commitments to these aspects. They are also articulated in the University diary, brochure and on the University website. 6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the University Vision: To be at the vanguard of knowledge in the domain of higher learning and achieve the highest global standards Mission: The University is firmly committed to its following mission statements: To achieve excellence in teaching and research To empower learners in achieving their professional goals To strengthen educational and professional interface To contribute in building the society and the nation To improve the quality of life in harmony with our heritage, culture and environment To relate learning with the highest human values 6.1.2 Does the mission statement define the institutions distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, the institutions tradition and value orientations, its vision for the future, etc.? The six mission statements of the University have been seriously pondered over and arrived at. These comprehensively encompass the various facets of higher education lending a distinctive set of characteristics in terms of first and foremost endeavouring to achieve the best in the task it has been given the mandate by the society and the government of the land. Secondly, the University endeavours to synchronize its curricula with the development of the discipline on one hand and the need of the same in the outside world thereby empowering the students, it seeks to serve in achieving their professional goals. Thirdly, the University understands the significance of a continuous communication with the larger professional world and therefore endeavours to forge new linkages and strengthen the already established ones. Fourthly, the University is aware that its most important stakeholder is a future of our nation and therefore endeavours to impart them by learning which is beyond the mere confines of the curricula so that the youth of our land imbibes the best of

157

values and tradition and evolves into responsible citizens and exemplary human beings. Finally, the University has always striven to find ways of contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of all its stakeholders. To achieve these goals, the University has always remained vigilant and proactive in terms of curriculum design and development, reforms in examination, automation of administration and upgrading and adding to its infrastructural facilities. Further, the University has adopted the following set of values in all its endeavours for achieving qualitative standards: Making learning and research a way of life. Achieving the highest professional standards. Sustaining a total quality in our endeavours to meet local and global expectations. Striking a balance between material and human values. Nurturing a passion for all-round excellence.

6.1.3 How is the leadership involved * in ensuring the organizations management system development, implementation and continuous improvement? The Vice Chancellor of the University is academic as well as administrative head of the Institution. Besides, the Vice Chancellor is also the chairman of the executive council i.e. Syndicate, the Vice Chancellor also is the ex-officio chairman of the senate meeting. Being the leader of all executive bodies the Vice Chancellor makes an effort to bring out a consensus on various issues among members of different levels of authorities. In case of the University administration, the Vice Chancellor follows the principle of delegation of authority to the different responsible officers and academic heads. The leadership strives actively in grooming the leadership and management attributes to all levels of administration of the University. Leadership at the University is always followed on the grounds of harmony while governing. The Executive Council, Senate, students, teaching fraternity and the non-teaching community actively participate with utmost interest in the development of the University as per the Saurashtra University Act 1965, statutory bodies of the University include the Senate, Syndicate, Academic Council, Faculties, Board of University Teaching, Board of Studies, Board of Culture, and Board of Sports. The departments and affiliated colleges of the University are administered by their respective Heads/Principals/Directors. Further, internal coordinators may be assigned for different functions at institution and department level for smooth working and development. The University functionaries and Executive Council have over the period developed a tradition of resolving all matters through consensus. There occur debates and dialogues but by and large the decisions are taken in the most congenial atmosphere. Hence, almost all the decisions of the Syndicate are implemented in letter and spirit. The University has evolved a healthy practice of monthly meeting of Coordination Committee of teaching and non-teaching staff with the Vice Chancellor and other officials. This practice helps in cutting down of the red tape and builds a direct and one-to-one communication, which is found very useful and effective in policy formulations, implementations and feedbacks collection. Over and above this informal practice, there is a statutory provision for Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) under the Ordinance 186 of the University.

158

Continuous improvement: The University has taken the following steps for qualitative infrastructure of the administration: Staff training and skill up-gradation E-infrastructure Modernization of administration E-informatics Time bound decision making * In interacting with Stakeholders? Students: Interaction with students itself begins right from the beginning of their academic programme. Administrative team effectively and concretely conveys value and ethics of the Institution and the University. Each department and affiliated colleges of the University has internal student counsellors, who regularly counsel students for their financial, social, personal, health and academic related issues and for creating a familiar and homely atmosphere for them. Students can also contact any faculty and even head/principal/director for their problems apart from regular counselling meetings. Throughout the year various programmes like celebration of annual functions, national days, sports and cultural programmes, scientific events, farewell parties, Alumni meets, industrial visits, study tours, etc., are continuously organized for their all-round developments. The students having financial crisis are helped by extending the time of fee payment, excusing the fine, helping them in availing loans or recommending the candidate for a scholarship (if they deserve it). Students can report their grievances in grievance box and due care is taken to sort out their genuine grievances. Also, care is taken to avoid any gender sensitive and ragging issues. To conduct and monitor it ethically and systemically, student members are also involved in respective committees. Parents: The University understands the role of parents as a significant stakeholder in higher education and endeavours to make them a part of its efforts and ventures. Parents are addressed during the time of students admissions. In the first few days of the formal meetings between the new students, especially female students and their teachers; and even within this group, those from outside the city are advised to bring their parents for a formal meeting with the Head of the department and teachers if they feel like. They are regularly informed about in case of less attendance, poor performances and so on about their ward. Similarly, any grievance from a parent is also listened by the concerned authority and appropriate responses are made. Further, parents are informed and also contacted immediately in case of any emergency like health-related issues of their ward. Teaching and non-teaching staff Faculties of the University play both direct and indirect role in leadership at various levels in different committees. At department level also regularly and on need basis teaching and non-teaching staff meetings are arranged individually as well as in a combined group to take grievances and suggestions for continuous improvement.

159

Alumni The annual Alumni meet is arranged individually at department/institution level as well as at the University level which gives an opportunity to former students to feel a part of their larger academic family. Further most of the departments also take suggestions from Alumni members to upgrade the curriculum for continuous improvement in courses to increase the students efficiency and placement opportunities. Industries and other academic institutions and Universities Other institutions and universities and industries are the important stakeholders of the University. Their involvement is made officially by involving them in important academic committees like Board of Studies (BoS), Placement Cell (PC), Institution Industry Interaction Cell (IIIC) and through MoUs. This helps in establishing healthy relations with outsources, updating curriculum of courses and better placement opportunities for students. Society The University is also actively involved in social awareness of community in concerns with scientific and moral values. The University celebrates various national days like World Kidney Day, Swami Vivekananda Anniversary, Womens Day, Thalassemia Day etc., and also organizes free camps for diseases awareness like blood donation, diabetes and epilepsy, swine flu awareness, as well as hygiene and environment related activities like plastic free campus, tobacco free campus etc.

* in reinforcing a culture of excellence? A culture of excellence is reinforced by identifying the ideals in a practice, process or method, and then conducting a reality check on where as a University we stand. The next step is to identify the measures that would take us closest to the ideal in each affecting criterion whether it is teaching-learning, research, infra-structure or student support. Following such a work culture is the Universitys way of achieving and maintaining excellence. Over and above the local level of academic and administrative work on the campus, the IQAC acts as a catalyst towards achieving an all-round excellence on the campus. Specific instances of achieving excellence are further detailed under Criterion 7. At the departmental level, the advanced learners are identified at the entry level and they are involved in many activities related to extra learning, skill development, and research. They are nurtured by the concerned teachers and also mentored by the experts. * in identifying organizational needs and striving to fulfil them? Organizational needs are first of all identified at the particular academic or administrative level. The needs are then put forth through the designated mechanism and are discussed in the statutory organs of the University viz., Finance Committee, Academic Council and Executive Council etc. for an assessment of the need. Once the need is accepted after scrutiny, the University strives to act positively and swiftly towards meeting the need.

160

6.1.4. Were any of the top leadership positions of the University vacant for more than a year? If so, state the reasons. Currently the positions of Pro-Vice Chancellor and registrar are vacant. The Registrars post is advertised. 6.1.5. Does the University ensure that all positions in its various statutory bodies are filled and meetings conducted regularly? Yes. Saurashtra University is one of the universities where regularity is maintained related to all positions of the statutory bodies e.g., deans, member of syndicates, member of academic council, member of senates, etc. The University conducts all the meetings of statutory bodies in time. As per the University Act, several posts in the statutory bodies are filled up by elections and the schedule of election for all posts is strictly maintained. There is no instance of delay in due electoral procedures since the establishment of the University. 6.1.6. Does the University promote a culture of participative management? If yes, indicate the levels of participative management. The principle of Participative Management is well taken at the Saurashtra University. The University always promotes the participatory management practice at all levels in the managements as well as academics. There are many instances where participatory management is implemented. All departments on the University campus involve students and staff members in the management of their departmental affairs at all levels. Similarly, the University core administration involves all stake holders in policy level decision making and its execution. The University has its IQAC which ensures the involvement of management members, teaching and non-teaching staff, students, and stakeholders in decision making under the head of various committees. In various statutory bodies and committees, involvement of respective stakeholders from all areas is promoted. Students are equally promoted to participate in various decisions making activities related to curriculum, academic calendar, sports and cultural activities, disciplinary and hostel activities, grievances and Alumni events. Involvement of stakeholders is promoted in curriculum designing, strengthening academia industry interactions, placement cells, etc. 6.1.7 Give details of the academic and administrative leadership provided by the University to its affiliated colleges and the support and encouragement given to them to become autonomous. In last few years the University has taken a pro-active role for its affiliated colleges in following aspects: a. Encouraged all colleges for training in understanding NAAC mechanisms. b. Initiation and sensitization to the college management and principal to go for NAAC accreditation. Practically the University, Academic Staff College and IQAC collectively arranged several seminars and workshops for this purpose. c. The colleges were encouraged to apply all supportive measures which were occupied to ensure that the colleges undergo a transformation into a NAAC accredited college. d. On administration front, the University has provided full support to affiliated colleges in improving their ICT based issues and also trained them for facing challenges of CBCS which was introduced for the first time in 2012 as per UGC guidelines.

161

The University encourages well established colleges to apply for autonomous status as a matter of policy. The University Act 1965 has a provision under section 48-A of the Act for the autonomy in the matter of admission of the students, prescribing the courses, imparting education, and conducting of examination to any affiliated college. 6.1.8 Have any provisions been incorporated / introduced in the University Act and Statues to provide for conferment of degrees by autonomous colleges? There are provisions in the University Act 1965 under section 48-A for seeking the autonomy by a college. As per current status of demand for autonomous college, the University is yet to make provisions regarding this. 6.1.9 How does the University groom leadership at various levels? Give details. The University has two major fronts; academics and administrative. The leadership can groom at various levels if there is a constant flow of young generation in both streams. Saurashtra University is somewhat lucky in a sense that during last decade and little earlier to that many youngsters have joined both the fronts. With the retirement of many faculties in various departments the academic and administrative responsibilities have been successfully shared by younger faculties and officers. Therefore, in many departments, a blending of experienced and young staff is seen, where ideal grooming is practiced. In the present state of affairs, the University staff, in general, put their best efforts to pace up with the changing time and scenario to the state level University. The University administration has taken up several steps to put additional responsibilities on new generation and also providing them adequate support. Following are some steps taken so far: Grooming through Responsibilities: Sense of responsibility is the best practice to train the personnel. The University and its departments make sure that all the staff members are entrusted with one or the other responsibility rather than only the head. So, all duties are done in team work under the leadership of one entrusted responsible person. Duties are changed in rotation, so that all staff members can understand and learn the significance of the work at all its various levels. Organising Workshops: Workshops, faculty development programmes, orientation programmes, refresher programmes are regularly arranged at the University and department levels to upgrade the skills and knowledge of staff with respect to their specific area and management in general. Participation in different Training Programmes: Staff members at all levels are encouraged to participate in training programmes for enrichment of their skills and exposure of other institutes of higher learning. For such training, the University bears the entire expense of the programme. It is made sure that all the staff get such opportunities in a fair manner. The staff that undergoes such training shares his/her experience on returning from the programme with the remaining staff members to make others thoroughly aware about the current trends.

162

6.1.10 Has the University evolved a knowledge management strategy? If yes, give details. Knowledge management with growing global changes begins with the changes in the curriculum of courses itself. University departments follow the practice of modifying curriculum every three years as per the changing scenario. Apart from curriculum, students are always kept well versed with other important subject related updates and practical expertise through extra classes, seminars, online groups such as Google groups etc. Faculties are always encouraged to attend seminars, workshops and undergo training to make them aware about current scenario and cater the same to their co-workers and students. At departmental levels, meetings and presentations are scheduled where faculties can share their experience related to such programmes with other faculties. Knowledge is constantly upgraded and passed from faculties to students and from senior to junior students. Research and development cells encourage to have interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary projects to strengthen the core values of research and to share feeling of being a member of the family rather than competitors. Special Journal Club lectures are kept within and outside the timetable where students are asked to present their findings on current research trends. Research publications of the departments are stored in the bound form at each department for further references. Before initiating any new programme or for improvement of existing programmes, staff council meetings are organized to have views of all concerned members. Additionally various data are collected and analysed for imparting the knowledge and keeping the department aware about contemporary scenario in each field of knowledge. Some notable features in this direction are: Before starting any new programme its feasibility and outcome are discussed at length and then implemented. Feedbacks are collected on existing courses for continuous improvement. Analysis of registration forms received and actual admissions confirmed is done to have the knowledge about subject demand. Result analysis is done to have knowledge about students performance and required improvements. 360 feedback is collected from students to have knowledge regarding management, faculties, and programmes and curriculum. For up gradation of minute and specific technical aspects of industrial world, industry personnel are invited to deliver special talks and give training on instrumentation, etc. 6.1.11 How are the following values reflected in the functioning of the University? The Saurashtra University campus is practically meant for post graduate studies and research. The majority of the departments are focused on research which is relevant, preferably in thrust area and also of societal need. The University promotes its faculty to undertake challenging research and also facilitate faculties by smoothening the administrative procedures. On other side, the University teachers take up many assignments which are related to nations prioritized area and the outcome of research findings are noteworthy in many instances. It relates to the new technologies or advanced technologies especially in the area of nanotechnology, and advance materials, in area of new drug discoveries, in study of the environmental issues related to the largest seacoast of India, and problems like salinity ingress. Saurashtra University has contributed in past with number of important findings, reports which are still used as a primary source of information. Several reports prepared by faculties on economy, and environment are appreciated by the World Bank (IBRD), government of India and many task forces. The research scholars and

163

students particularly in many departments are encouraged and trained to use latest technology, instrumentation, and advanced facilities created in various departments. Many of the ethical and humane values form part of the teaching and research curriculum in the humanities and social sciences departments. Contribution to National Development An important mission of the University is to impart quality higher education and thereby enable the youth of this hitherto educationally under-developed region to touch parity in terms of national standards intellectually and professionally. It continuously strives for improvement in existing courses and addition of new value-added and specialized courses to provide society with technically and knowledge-wise sound personnel. Reserved seats for backward class people and physically challenged students are kept and preferred for admission in all the courses. Students from SC/ST and meritorious students are given scholarships to promote them. Students are encouraged to attend various training programmes, seminars and conferences for making them aware about the National problems and challeges in changing scenarios in industries and professional institutions. Further, to incorporate the national values, various national days are celebrated on the campus either in form of cultural events, sports, rallies, parades, quiz competitions on the national days like the Independence day, Republic day, Gandhi Jayanti, etc. Various disease awareness and other such programmes of social relevance like blood donation camps, epilepsy and diabetes camps, swine flu awareness camps, etc. along with NSS and NCC activities are carried out at the campus and many students of the University are selected to promote such programmes at larger state and national levels also. Fostering Global Competencies among Students In order to be globally competent student must be well versed with current scenarios of the subject concerned along with required effective technical as well as communication skills, creativity, team work attitude and leadership qualities. The University regularly updates the curriculum, arranges for expert lectures and visits at the campus, encourages students to visit industries, hospitals and other campuses and to participate in various activities and competitions. University constantly invites eminent guest speakers from all areas to enrich students with current scenarios in the field. Projects and industrial trainings are made mandatory to develop competent skills among students. Regular viva voce are practiced in routine practicals to help them reach the depth of the subject. Seminars and journal club lectures are kept to enhance students knowledge and increase their language and communication skills. Students are involved in various committees to make them responsible citizens of future. They are encouraged to take up interdisciplinary research projects to enhance their team work spirit and foster their knowledge in adjacent subjects. They are given hands-on training of various software, soft skill development and sophisticated instruments.

164

Inculcating a Sound Value System among Students: Ethics and humanity paves the way for success. Students are made aware about the values of ethics and humanity on day-to-day basis.

Criterion VII: Innovations and Best Practices 7.1 Environment Consciousness 7.1.1 Does the University conduct a Green Audit of its campus? The University completed its recent comprehensive Green Audit of its campus in the month of June 2013. The process of the audit was initiated in the month of July 2012 and was conducted professionally by the Atmiya Institute of Technology and Science, Rajkot, which is a recognized institute by the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) as Environmental Auditor as mentioned in Schedule I and II GPCB, Gujarat. The Audit team consists of 5 GPCB recognized members headed by a Director of Environmental Audit (Schedule I) rank. The other members included 3 Heads from the departments of Civil Engineering, Industrial Chemistry, and Biochemistry & Microbiology. The auditing bodys criterion on Environment Management System (EMS) included the following: 1. Water Management System: The highlights of the audit in this criterion are as under: Critical Evaluation of Water Management System of the Saurashtra University: As a whole, water management system established by the Saurashtra University appears to be adequate and sound. Purification of raw water is done by using principles of reverse osmosis (RO) and adequate RO units have been provided. As could be seen from Table-I, quality of treated water is well within the norms prescribed by the GPCB. Since the establishment being a University & not a chemical manufacturing unit; waste water generated in the campus needs no effluent treatment using ETP. However, there is full scope for establishment for sewage treatment plant (STP) and such treated water can be utilized / reused for the development of green belt in the University campus. Thus, fresh water requirements can be curtailed. Further, there is good scope for rain water harvesting and bore well recharging. 2. Air Pollution Management System: The highlights of the audit in this criterion are as under: Critical Evaluation of Air Pollution Management System of the Saurashtra University: Since the establishment is not a chemical manufacturing unit, fuel stacks and process stacks are absent. Since, there is no air pollution, Air Pollution Control Measures (APCM) are not required. Ambient air quality has been measured at three locations in the campus as under: (i) Location No. 1 : University office area (ii) Location No. 2 : University hostel ladies block (iii) Location No. 3 : Near staff quarter entry Ambient Air Quality (AAQM) measured at three selected locations namely terrace of University office area, terrace of ladies hostel block and terrace of staff quarters at entry indicate that all the faculty staff and students are inhaling clean air.

191

 All the values of different AAQM parameters namely are well within the permission limits prescribed by GPCB. Development of Green Zones in the entire University Campus has helped the University to enjoy Clean and Green Air in the campus. Use of water sprinklers in the entire campus on roads at regular interval is still advisable. Good scope exists to earn carbon credits by the Saurashtra University in this regard. 3. Solid Waste Management System: The highlights of the audit in this criterion are as under: Critical Evaluation of Solid Waste Management System of the Saurashtra University: The University takes care of plastic free environment and University has adequate waste management system. The campus has put dustbins on every corner of the campus to make it garbage free campus. The chemicals and unused drugs in the science departments are kept separately in strictly safe custody. The chemical waste is destroyed as per the rules of the chemical drugs etc. The approach roads in the University are made with environment friendly technology by using fly ash generated in Thermal Power Plant (TPP). Relevant details regarding kitchen waste, canteen waste, news paper waste, used answer books waste and journals waste etc. are available with University Authorities in a systematic manner. As could be seen from the different aspects mentioned above, solid waste management system established in Saurashtra University is praiseworthy. 4. Noise Level Management System: The highlights of the audit in this criterion are as under: Critical Evaluation of Noise Level Management System of the Saurashtra University: Monitoring of noise levels at different locations was done and the noise levels were measured at following ten selected locations: 1. University Office 2. University Canteen 3. Typical Class Room 4. Typical Workshop 5. University Library 6. 7. 8. 9. Ladies Hostel (Corridor) Boys Hostel (Corridor) Staff Quarters University Entrance Gate

10. Nr. Post Office / Bank

Noise levels monitoring results at above mentioned ten locations have been depicted and compared with permissible limit as specified by GPCB. As could be seen from data, noise levels are well below the permissible limits prescribed by GPCB.

192

 It is to be noted that in green campus noise levels are generally very low. This is equally true with respect to Saurashtra University campus. The afore-mentioned data is a detailed excerpt of the comprehensive Green Audit conducted by the University, and completed in June 2013. The detailed audit report is available at the IQAC office of the University. 7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the University to make the campus eco-friendly? Energy Conservation:The following measures are common on the campus in this direction: Conscious effort of switching off when electricity is not required. Running all air conditioners on energy saving temperature zone. Use of air conditioners only up to the required level in large conference rooms, seminar halls and auditoriums; meaning, the number of ACs used is according to the number of people gathered inside. Using energy efficient computer monitors. Shifting from CRT monitors to LCD/LED monitors to save energy. Power saving options for computers/laptops is using them in standby mode when not in use. Not authorizing refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers etc.,(devises that consume large amounts of energy) for use in individual spaces on the campus. Using energy-saving fixtures, lamps, ballasts and lighting control systems. Using standard branded electrical equipments of companies that themselves are committed to energy efficiency. Optimum use of day light and correlating it to the University working hours. Use of Renewable Energy: In the University campus, solar energy is renewed by means of solar street lights and solar water heating system. The University is exploring the possibility of converting its outdoor electric light points into solar ones. Conversion of biomass into useable energy is another option being explored. The results so far into wind harvesting have not been encouraging as the average wind speed does not satisfy the installation of any large effective wind mill on our campus. Water Harvesting: The campus has a network of drip irrigation lines enhancing the green cover substantially even on this naturally arid terrain. Check-dam Construction:there are 3 check-dams on the campus that have contributed to a healthy rise in the ground water level of this area. Efforts for Carbon Neutrality: effective and non-wasteful use of electricity (as mentioned in point first above) reduces carbon foot-prints of the University. The second measure in this direction is its massive plantation drive. Plantation: The green team has mentioned in its report that: Having more than 29,000 trees in the campus, over 2,000 saplings are being planted every year in and around the Saurashtra University main complex. This happens to be most unique achievement of the Saurashtra University. Hence, the Saurashtra University deserves congratulations for this aspect.

resources. Plans are afoot to install solar lighting systems in an efficient manner on all outdoor locations on the campus. Taking note of the report from its first-ever campuswide green audit, the University is taking positive steps to improve its water harvesting, rain water management and bore recharging measures. 7.2 Innovations 7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the University. Highlights of innovations worth mentioning that have created a positive impact on the University functioning in the last four years: Implementation of CBCS: The University decided to innovate on its curriculum by being the first State University in Gujarat to implement the Choice Based Credit System mode of teaching-learning in 2010. The Univeristy conducted several orientations and training sessions to expose faculty members, examination staff, college principals, and others before the transition from the semester to the CBCS curricular mode. An important innovative step in this direction was the development of software by the Univesity which was then adopted by other institutes and universities in the State. The University further trained the relevant staff of these institutions peparing them for the transition. The impact of this innovative step has been our students gaining a competitive edge, our teachers stepping up to upgrade their knowledge and delivery skills, our Library being recharged with newer titles and the signal going out to the society that this University is in-step with the best institutes of higher learning in introducing positive changes at the right time. Examination Reforms: Anticipating that the CBCS mode of teaching would bring in a twofold increase in examination work, the University planned to innovate in this area concurrently with curricular reforms. Measures like: online question paper delivery system; digitization of answer booklets; digital evaluation of answer booklets; applying for various forms online; payment gateway implementation in online admissions, re-assessment, issuing provisional degree certificate; formation of the Saurashtra University Central Admission Board (SUCAB); etc., have been implemented, and more such steps are being worked out in the direction of using technology for work accuracy and efficiency. The impact of these innovative steps has been on the two most important stakeholders: students and evaluatorteachers. Involvement of the Society and Philanthrophists for Infrastructural Development: The University leadership was successful in convincing members of the society and doners at large to support with substantial financial resources to transform the infrastructure of almost all the departments on the campus. The impact has been significant: faculties, students, and visitors have witenessed a sea-change on the University campus over the last decade. Facility for Preservation of Molecular Diversity: This unique project has collected 10,000 new molecules for drug discovery from various academic researchers across the nation. This innovative approach was funded by MSME Foundation DST, New Delhi. This innovative idea has been taken up by the other higher educational institutions for archiving molecular entities.This is a green and environment friendly measure that also saves huge financial resources.

Genration of New Polymer Composites: Prof. P. H. Parsania, an eminet polymer scientist with the Department of Chemistry, has devised several new composits blending agro waste from jute, wheat, rice, banana, sugarcane, coir, bamboo etc. This work has been appreciated by the NRDC, New Delhi for low cost patitioning material or various other building materials. It can also be used for quick roofing of houses affected by natural calamities. Innovation and New Techonology Transfer: Under DST-DPRP programme, a faculty of Department of Chemistry, professor and his team have transfer technology of four of the five different keto-acids used to formulate Ketolog, a formulation of Claris Lifesciences, saving substantial foreign exchange components towards import of such products. Database of Marine Bioresources by DNA Barcoding: Gujarat, having the largest costline in India, is home to number of marine fauna which are presious national bioresources. No inventory was available till now for this fauna with there molecular phylogenic identity. Department of Biosciences has initiated an innovative research work under the UGC-CAS programme to enlist all the mairne bioresource fauna properly identified by DNA Barcoding which will immensely help the academia and industry. Department of Biosciences is the only department in India to take up such activities for the entire marine faunal spectra. Innovative Formulation & applications in Drug Discovery: The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences have developed Novel Drug Delivery Systems for several Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. The faculties have successfully isolated phytoconstituents for stroke, diabetes, urolithiasis, metabolic syndroms and application of herbal bioenhancers to improve bioavailability of various drugs. Innovative Measures by the IQAC: The University, realizing that planning, implementing and tracking the progress of innovative steps in itself required a constant monitoring, instituted a full-fledged IQAC set up. The innovative thinking by the IQAC has been in the direction of improving the overall research achievement of the University. For this the IQAC has instituted separate motivational schemes for research scholar students and faculty members (both on the campus and in its affiliated colleges); travel, exposure and learning schemes for the entire department; publication of three different research journals; bringing in the best academic and research minds on the campus through invitation; and recognizing and encouraging academic and research achievers from the University family. The impact of these measures has brought financial gains in terms of research grants from various funding agencies, and helped in creating an image for the University beyond the State, and even the country. The names of the various innovative practices by the IQAC have been enlisted in the immediate following sub-section. 7.3. Best Practices Best Practice 1 # Academic Best Practice 1. Title: Seed Money Project The Saurashtra University has initiated an innovative practice on its campus entitled, SEED MONEY PROJECT FOR THE FACULTY from the year 2006-07. 2. Goal / Objectives The underlying objectives of the Seed Money Project are as follows:

195

 To inculcate a spirit of healthy intellectual competition and develop a research culture among young and new teachers working on the campus. To encourage and prepare the faculty members for undertaking minor and major research projects from UGC and various other funding agencies. To build up an environment of qualitative research outcomes on the campus. To increase the quality research volume undertaken by the faculty members on the campus. To equip the young researchers of the University with adequate research facilities. 3. The Context The University normally carries out three major activities through its academic staff or through its faculty members i.e. teaching, extension, and research. To give impetus to research activities by the faculty members on the campus, the University felt it necessary to give some financial support as a start-up resource to its young faculty members for embarking upon larger and more ambitious research projects whose framework can be presented before prestigious national and international funding agencies. The University has a clear vision to offer the Seed Money Project to the fresh and young faculty members on a priority basis and thereby encourage them towards serious research work. The University has duly constituted a committee under its IQAC for properly carrying out the tasks of scrutiny of the research proposal and disbursal of the Seed Money Project Fund. The committee identifies the panel of experts who study the merit of the proposal and is empowered to take care of all the procedural activities pertaining to the Seed Money Project. 4. The Practices The practice of awarding a faculty with the Seed Money Project is as follows: 1. IQAC invites applications from the University faculty members every year in the beginning of the academic year. 2. The basic qualification required for one to be awarded with the Project is that the applicant must be a permanent or ad-hoc faculty member of the University. 3. Preferably, Assistant and Associate Professors only are given priority for the Project. 4. More precisely, priorityis given to those who have not undertaken any Minor or Major research projects from any funding agencies. 5. The procedure of awarding the Seed Money Project is as follows: a. inviting applications from the University faculty members; b. short-listing project proposals for the presentation before the project approval committee duly constituted by the University; c. identifying 5 to 6 proposals for the award of the Seed Money on the following considerations: i. the project proposal is up to the mark from the point-of-view of a research work, both in its content and design / structure; ii. the faculty member has not been awarded Seed Money for any proposal in the past; iii. the faculty member has not applied for any minor or major research project to any funding agency in the past or is not having any such project at present; iv. the faculty member is considerably young and comes under the Assistant or Associate Professor cadre; and v. Committee members are satisfied about the projects future outcome.

196

vi. The University earmarks certain amount of fund (between Rs. 40 to 50 thousand) to be given to the identified research projects under Seed Money Project every year. 5. Evidence of Success The University funds this project through its IQAC from its Development Fund which has an exclusive sub-heading for research. Attached below is the list of the different faculty members awarded with the Seed Money Project till date: Department Amount Physics 40,000/Electronics 40,000/English 40,000/Computer Science 40,000/Gujarati 40,000/2007-08 History 50,000/Pharmacy 50,000/Physics 50,000/Electronics 50,000/Commerce 50,000/2009-10 Pharmacy 50,000/Chemistry 50,000/Law 50,000/History 50,000/Psychology 50000/2010-11 Journalism 50,000/Chemistry 50,000/Sociology 50,000/Bioscience 50,000/Bio Sciences 50,000/2011-12 Commerce 40,000/Education 40,000/Chemistry 40,000/Chemistry 40,000/Computer Science 40,000/Pharmacy 40,000/Economics 40,000/2012-13 Sanskrit 50,000/Library and Information 50,000/Science Dr. R.

6. The Problems Encountered and Resources Required In implementing the Seed Money Project, the Saurashtra University has not encountered any obstacle. On the contrary, it is a highly welcomed project by all stakeholders of the University. Furthermore, there is a now demand to extended this Project up to the Professors cadre to increase the element of competitiveness and innovation of ideas. This might be seen as a challenge, but the University feels that such a demand has arisen mainly because of the success of this innovative practice.The only challenge is to make this Project accessible to more faculties without compromising on quality and innovativeness. The consideration of increasing the amount of funding(keeping in view rising costs of things and inflation) is another challenge but the University is innovative enough in generating resources for funding this and such other qualitative projects. 7. Notes Till now this Project could be sanctioned for only a faculty on the campus. However, the University is seriously considering the option of extending it to the fresh and young faculties of the affiliated colleges which will open up a whole new dimension in the interest of qualitative research. Best Practice 2 # Administrative Best Practice 1. Title of the practice Examination Reformations and Implementation of Paperless Concept through Campus Management System (CMS) 2. Objectives of the Practice The underlying objectives of this Practice are as follows: Integration of internal and end-of-the semester evaluation within the CBCS mode. Online admission for students of various courses. SMS support system for students. Online question paper delivery system. Digitization of answer sheets and digital evaluation. Online application for conferring degree certificate. 3. The Context Looking at the current traditional examination system, Saurashtra University has not only concentrated on term-end examinations, but has taken efforts in the direction of continuous evaluation of University-certified degree-holders before they are accepted forjobs in public and private sectors. In these endeavours, the University has attempted to successfully integrate technology, thus, moving into an eco-friendly direction of reducing the use of papers as well as matching up with the demand of a faster delivery of goods and services. 4. The Practice The Saurashtra University has implemented considerable changes in its examination system e.g. Integration of internal and end-of-semester evaluation for all programmes. The relational weightage assigned to internal evaluation ranges from 25 to 40 percent in various UG and PG programmes.The Saurashtra University having implemented CBCS from June-2010 as per the guidelines of the UGC, the students are getting an opportunity to study from a larger range of courses under various programmes.The Campus Management System (CMS), a web-based online portal, is developed with end-to-end solution i.e. an integrated solution of paperless

198

examination management consisting of all procedures and stages from enrolment till the conferring of respective degree to the student. 5. Online Admissions to Students in Various External Programmes from June-2012: The University has taken a step towards integrating technology by giving online admissions to students in various external programmes namely B. A., B.Com., M. A., and M.Com. 6. SMS Based Information Systems: The University has decided to use the latest communication technology from the year 2010 by integrating SMS services in the delivery of examinations results and other important notifications for the benefits of the students. Students are delivered short messages on their registered mobile device with regards to their form acceptance acknowledgement, exam schedules, results, etc. using the SMS-Gateway embedded in web-based online portal. 7. Online Question Paper Delivery Systems (QPDS): The University has developed a confidential pool for making question paper bank digitized. A repository of such question paper bank is maintained in the database server with adequate authentication system. The digital question papers are delivered through QPDS to the authorized principals/senior supervisors in their personal login accounts just before 30 minutes of the start of examination. All examination centres are equipped with high speed printers/photo copiers to print desired number of question papers. The QPDS is commenced from June 2012. 8. Digital Evaluation of Answer Scripts:Evaluators of eight faculties out of thirteen viz., Science, Home Science, Medicine, Homeopathy, Architecture, Management, Education and Pharmacy are assigned the task of digital evaluation of students answer-booklets from December-2012 semester term-end examination making the evaluation process faster, smoother and at a lesser operational cost. 9. Evidence of Success The implementation of CMS concept is helping the University in many ways. During academic year 2012-13, more than 27,242 students filled-up their forms online and saved time, money, and energy. Students can view the course syllabus, course rules & regulations, subject assignment definitions and its submission dates, etc. online. Further, they are also able to view/print exam schedule, seat numbers, hall tickets, etc. online. Hence, students need not come to the University campus. The online QPDS saves time, money and human hours so far as the transportation, printing and human resources expenses are concerned. With the support of SMSGateway embedded in web-based online portal thereby signaling the young computerand-mobile literate stakeholders that the University is in sync with their communicational aspirations. 10. Problems Encountered and Resources Required With the introduction of the latest digital technology CMS at all levels of work, problems are bound to come. Sometimes there are hardware and compatibility issues of machines, but more frequent issues are related to the familiarization of the digital technologies for the human resources associated; thus there is a gestation period consumed by the people working upon it. The adaptation by the stakeholders to these new technologies is going ahead satisfactorily.

199

Notes The University recognizes the significance of the transition period between the longheld methods of paper-based communication to a paper-less way of functioning. The University examination department and other administrative sections are learning the way to paperless administration by overcoming evident obstacles and bottlenecks during the course of application CMS. Any other information regarding Innovations and Best Practices which the University would like to Include: Taking note of Saurashtra Universitys pro-activeness for innovations and the versatile range of its best practices, the Knowledge Consortium of Gujarat (KCG), the State Higher Education Council, has often begun its newer initiatives from this University, and often the first meetings for dialogue/discussion on these initiatives have been held on the campus. The University would also like to enlist the following innovative practices and initiatives carried out by the IQAC: Professor Dolarrai Mankad Award for Excellence in Research to the academicians.

The course involves lectures, practical classes, tutorials and individual study. Lectures are an efficient way of providing information and define the scope of the course. It is most important, however, that you steadily read the relevant chapters in the recommended textbooks as well as recent research publications to extend and consolidate the material covered in lectures. Practical classes not only develop technical and analytical skills but also rely on knowledge of more theoretical material. Application aspects of theoretical gained will be only fulfilled in practical classes. Tutorials are the heart of the course - they allow small group discussion (participate!) and provide feedback to tutor on your understanding and progress. Tutorials provides indirect presence of teachers to solve the problem and understand the subject repetitively Individual study is not necessarily confined strictly to the syllabus, and is what University life is all about. Apart from this individual study helps to develop independence and self reasoning qualities to understand the subject. 46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are monitored? Through Internal Quality Assurance Cell and Feedback process (Students) 47. Highlight the participation of students and faculty in extension activities. Participation in various national and international level seminars, symposiums and conferences.

State whether the programme/ department is accredited/ graded by other agencies? If yes, give details. : Nil 50. Briefly highlight the contributions of the department in generating new knowledge, basic or applied. : Home science syllabuses cater almost all the basic needs of an individual as

341

a member of the society. Home science caters basic theoretical knowledge of science arts and humanities as well as applied aspects of all these basic branches of the knowledge. These aspects such as Nutrition, Food Science, and technology, Bio-chemistry, institutional food administration, Dietetics and patients counseling, normal and disable children grooming, budgeting and investments, textiles and fashion, house plans and interior designing, extension and communication etc. As such this department has only two specialization i. e. Foods & Nutrition and General Home Science which are grant in aid. At the time of adopting CBCS system in the year 2010, we have introduced block elective in various specialized field so that students can opt for more specialized paper/ courses. In the field of Foods & Nutrition student can opt for Food Technology, Dietetic and Public Health Nutrition while in the field of General Home Science, student can opt for Community Health Nutrition, Clothing & Textile, Extension & communication, Home management and Child Development. 51. Detail five major Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of the department. : Strength: Advanced as well as vocational curriculum and ICT enabled teaching learning process. It is life and community oriented course which is also having interdisciplinary approach. Very few Universities of India offer M. Sc. General Home Science course which is a composite course of home science, syllabus for NET/SLET examinations are also based on composite Home Science, thats why it is helpful for our students. This department cators mainly students of rural and even remote areas of Saurashtra region Most of the students get placement Staff of this department works in administrative positions in national bodies, having aditorialship in national and international journals. Weakness Shortage of permenent teaching faculties. Sortage of technical staff We receive limited grant from UGC five year plans so unable to purchase sofisticated latest instruments. Majority of students come from rural background so are not able to coup with English materials as well as internet surffing. Inadiquate research lab facilities Opportunities Because of life and community oriented syllabuses there is wast opportunuty for students in various govrnment community based programms and also in NGOs. In foods & Nutrition course in CBCS this department has introduced food industries based courses to generate job opportunity. In foods & Nutrition course in CBCS this department has introduced dietetics and public nutrition based courses to prepare students entreprenaure. Due to its vesetile courses this department can promote interdisciplinary research also. Extension is the part of Home Science syllabus; society can at large be benifited by various activities of students in rural and slum areas also.

342

Challenges There is decreasing studentstrength in afiliated UG colleges may affect future student strength. Due to government policies this department is not able to start various other specializations in grant in aid. Refine students in English language is a big challenge. Due to its nomenclature as Home Science, and aslo UG colleges are anly women colleges, the traditional concept of only women studying in Home Science, male students are not coming fro admission. Shortage of permenent teaching faculties and technical staffs. 52. Future plans of the department: At present specialization are given in Foods & Nutrition and General Home Science. The Department aims to start new branches of specialization Viz. Clothing and Textiles, Human Development, Family Resource Management and, Home Science Extension and Communication, if the faculties and other resources made available. Department also aims to start some one year vocational Diploma courses for students who can not afford to spare two years for degree courses or who do not get admission to the degree courses. They are namely, Dietetics, Advance Food Technology, Food Biotechnology, Bakery and confectionery, Fashion Technology, Textile Designing, Crche, Playhouse and Balvadi management, Geriatric home management, Communication Technology, Environment Management etc. if the facilities are made available.

Detail five major Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of the Department Strengths: Department is a part of State University, so getting funds from various funding agencies is more feasible. Department have a very good infrastructure facilities including campus, laboratories, research facilities, funds, and human resources. Department provides unlimited scopes of exposure in research area to both students and faculties. Weaknesses: Since department is a part of state university it follows government's rules and regulations in sanctioning of certain expenditures and clearance of certain documents which delays completion of tasks. University has no provision for post-doc scholarship. Opportunities and challenges: Department have a good infrastructure facility with human resources but due to lack of strong bonds with industry proper exposure and absorption of students is challenging. 53. Future plans of the Department To develop public testing laboratory which provide facility of testing of drug and food samples for people of Saurashtra region since there is lack of facilities here due to which people have to send there samples to Ahmedabad and Baroda like cities which takes both more time and money. To introduce PG Course of Pharm D Program and integrated course of Master in Pharmaceutical Management. To start few but valuable part-time certificate courses like Bio-informatics, Pharmaco-epidemiology, and Pharmacovigilance for improving job prospectus for researchers. To start a toxicology laboratory and cell line study laboratory to fulfil basic needs of research.
