Response:
The Technical Campus has a robust security system with multiple checks at entry points
for all persons and vehicles. Students wear ID cards at all times and outsiders are checked
by security staff before allotting visitor IDs. Female faculty members ensure that all girl
students leave the campus after late night events like Annual Day. Female faculty and
girl students are regularly counselled on safety and security. D. Y. Patil School of
Engineering in association with SPPUs Board of Student Welfare had organised a one
day workshop on, Social empowerment and legal guidance of women on Womens
Day March 8th 2017. Dr. Yuvraj Patil and Mr. Harshwardhan Pawar, well-known
lawyers had graced the occasion along with two lady Police Inspectors from Dighi Police

3. Waste Management steps including:
Solid waste management
Liquid waste management
E-waste management

Response:
Solid & Liquid waste management Dust bins marked with Keep Clean Be Green have
been provided for waste collection. The waste in the campus is disposed in an eco-
friendly manner without polluting the environment. Dry waste is collected regularly by
PCMC trucks. Paper waste is shredded and sold to licensed purchasers for recycling. The
Technical Campus library generates around 65 kilos of old newspapers per month and
other paper waste is around 180 kilos twice every year. Wet and biodegradable waste
generated in the campus such as canteen waste and dry leaves, is centrally dumped and
not burnt. There are 7 compost pits each of 25x 15x 8 which generate adequate
fertilizer for the campus. Students of DYPSOE have actively participated in Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan, Indias biggest cleanliness drive, by cleaning the banks of Mula and
spreading the message to keep our environment clean. Hazardous Waste Management:
Adequate exhaust provisions are made in the Chemistry laboratory and Environmental
laboratory to drive out acid fumes. Liquid chemical wastes generated from the
laboratories are diluted/ neutralized and then discharged. Hazardous waste is disposed
by PCMC trucks every Thursday Chemical fire extinguishers are charged periodically
from outside licensed agency. E- Waste Management: The life of electronic equipment
is extended by appropriate upkeep and minor repairs carried out by laboratory experts
and reused in the campus itself. This way the e waste generation is reduced to some
extent. Electronic and computer accessories are given to licensed vendors for recycling.

4. Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:
The constant water supply to campus is ensured through enough storage capacity and
provisions are made to collect rain water and store it in the pond. Monsoon runoff of
roof top water is collected in the pond and used for garden irrigation. A survey has
been carried out and storage tanks are being constructed in the campus. Trees and lawns
are maintained with water drips and sprinklers to avoid water wastage Waste water is
used for gardening.

5. Green Practices

Some of our students from nearby Lohegaon and Dhanori villages cycle to college. Since
inception the college has provided transport for faculty and students coming from
faraway locations. Private mini SUVs and buses pick students from well-known city
points thus saving the expense of individual transport. During the last academic year,
thanks to the concerted efforts of technical campus management, Pune Municipal
Transport has started bus service upto campus gate at regular one hour intervals. This
has greatly reduced the usage of private vehicles by students and lowered the carbon
footprint of our campus as a whole. The well laid out campus has footpaths for
pedestrians and security personnel at all blind turns and crossings within the campus.
The college is phasing out the use of plastic cups in the cafeteria by using paper or china
cups. The adoption of ERP is phasing out the use of paper used in student data, leave
applications, lecture planning etc. The campus was landscaped and planted with shade
giving trees before the commencement of building activity. Thus the fully grown trees
provide adequate green cover and reduce greenhouse gases.

7.1.19 The institution maintains complete transparency in its financial, academic,

administrative and auxiliary functions
Response:
The functions of the institution and its academic and administrative units are governed
by the principles of participation and transparency. Formulation of development
objectives, directives and guidelines with specific plans for implementation by aligning
the academic and administrative aspects improves the overall quality of the institutional
provisions. Effective leadership by setting values and participative decision- making
process is key not only to achieve the vision, mission and goals of the institution but
also in building the organizational culture. The formal and informal arrangements in
the institution to co-ordinate the academic and administrative planning and
implementation reflects the institutions efforts in achieving its vision. The institution has
developed strategies for mobilizing resources and ensures transparency in financial
management of the institution. Budgeting and optimum utilization of finance as well as
mobilization of resources are the key issues handled by the SOE Management. There
are established procedures and processes for planning and allocation of financial
resources which leads to effective & efficient use of Financial resources. The Budget
Process which is an inclusive and collaborative process is as follows: Departmental
Budget Templates are circulated to collect the Budget Requirements for the forthcoming
year. The respective HODs of the departments then submit the requirements in the
Standardized format which are consolidated. The various heads of the budget include
the department capital requirements, staff cost based on the manpower plan, student
& faculty related expenses, event expenses, research & development, administrative
expenses including lab consumables, repairs & maintenance & other infrastructure
related expenses, etc. The utilization of the current year approved budget along with
the budget projected for the forthcoming year is presented to the Finance Committee
after discussions in the Executive Committee. After the approval of the finance
committee, it is also approved by the Governing Council. Feedback from the
stakeholders on a regular basis and acting on the same is an effective mechanism to
ensure transparency and effective management.

7.2.1 State at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC template)
Response:
Teaching Learning Process Objectives of the Practice: College assesses the learning needs
of every student at entry level to establish specific learning objectives, develop teaching
- learning strategies and plan of action. Each student gets an opportunity to learn at his
pace and pass percentage is improved. The Context: Academically bright students from
non-urban backgrounds are daunted by the change of culture and face adjustment
issues, addiction risks and language problems which need atypical teaching methods.
The Practice: The teacher first introduces and discusses the topic and encourages
students to share their understanding of the topic. Slow learners are thus identified
during the first fortnight of theory classes. After completion of their practical, extra
coaching is provided and topics taught in the class are revised. Difficult problems are
initially set only for advanced learners who are encouraged to visit the library to read
up journals and papers. Home assignments and class tests help to evaluate overall
performance and understanding levels. Attendance is monitored regularly and only
students fulfilling the 75% attendance criterion are permitted to submit feedback
regarding the teaching learning process. Feedback is reviewed regularly and every
teacher is motivated to do their best. Evidence of Success: The results of year-wise
annual examinations show a marked increase in the pass percentage from first to final
year of the four year engineering course. Problems Encountered and Resources
Required: Time and locational disadvantage is a major constraint as remedial classes
need to be conducted for slow learners while simultaneously covering the syllabus
effectively for the entire class. Counseling and Mentoring Objectives of the Practice:
Counseling aims to identify personal issues like low self-esteem, interpersonal
relationship problems, cultural differences, alcohol, drug habits, depression or suicidal
tendencies. The Context: The mentor assigned to every batch of 20 to 25 students
strives to understand students academic and personal problems and also identifies those
in need of extra academic coaching or personal counselling. The Practice: Regular
counselling right from entry level helps our students to cope with the culture changes
and also warn them of the pitfalls while dealing with urban peer pressures. The mentor
encourages students to explore co and extracurricular opportunities on the campus to
ensure all round holistic development. Sessions are conducted during practical slots
allocated in timetable. Attendance is strictly monitored, reasons for low attendance
discussed and parents contacted. College conducts regular life skills and career
counselling sessions, workshops for students on personality development, time
management, soft skills and communication skills, engineering career options,
placement opportunities, career development and professional practices. Every student
is encouraged to participate in co and extra-curricular activities and sports matching
with his hobbies and interests. Evidence of Success: Students coming from semi-rural
and rural backgrounds are groomed successfully to face on campus interviews of leading
companies and industries. Our mentors have changed depression into determination to
face academic and personal challenges. Students have been coaxed to work hard,
overcome difficulties and achieve remarkable success. Problems Encountered and
Resources Required: The limited window for one on one personal interaction with
students outside the classroom limits the effectiveness of all counselling and mentoring
activities.
