CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation:
1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and
describe how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and
other stakeholders.
Sanskar Mandir Sanstha was established in 1988 with the broader aim of
providing enlightenment, education and rehabilitation of people by counseling
and educating them. The objective of the Sanstha is “Prabodhan, Shikshan and
Punarvasan”. Till today the Sanstha has tried to help as many people as
possible to educate themselves and make them good citizens of the country.
The Sanstha conducts different activities, programs and camps with the help of
the Pune Municipal Corporation and other institutions in order to achieve their
objective of educating people. For the purpose of providing education to all the
people, which is the objective of the Sanstha, the Sanstha has started two high
schools and one senior college in different areas of Pune. The area in which the
college is situated, Warje-Malwadi, was a rural area when the Sanstha was
established. The area was outside the Pune Municipal Corporation limits.
Within the radius of 5 kms of the college area there were no colleges present at
that time. The establishment of the college by the Sanstha in the year 2000,
11
proved to be the most beneficial activity done by the Sanstha as it helped the
nearby people living the same area in getting higher education. In the year
2001, the area where the college is situated was brought within the Pune
municipal corporation limits.
The college is located in Puneurban area and offers two under graduate
programmes i.e. Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) under the faculty of Arts and Bachelor
of Commerce (B.Com) under the faculty of Commerce. The college is
approved by the Government of Maharashtra and is affiliated to Savitribai
Phule Pune University. The college has one sanctioned division of B.A. and
one sanctioned division of B.Com. Presently, there are totally 581 students
enrolled for the B.A. (286) and B.Com (295) programmes in the college. Most
of the students attending classes in this college are from the nearby rural and
hilly areas and some students are from the urban areas as well. The academic
plan of the college is made annually and it has been implemented under
different departments. The college has 23 staff members consisting of 13
Assistant Professors, 1 Physical Director, 1 Librarian and 8 Non-teaching Staff.
All these staff members working here are permanent. The college keeps
inviting renowned faculties from outside the college (visiting faculty) to deliver
the lectures to the students in various subjects. The vision and mission of the
college are communicated to all the stakeholders i.e. students, teachers, staff
members and parents, through display boards in the college, the college
prospectus, publications and practical journal notebooks etc.
Vision:
Sanskar Mandir’s Arts and Commerce College was established in the year
2000, to quench the thirst of higher education of the people residing in the
nearby areas of Haveli Taluka, Pune. The vision statement of the Sanstha is
“Prabodhan – Shikshan – Punarvasan”. This is inscribed at the bottom of the
logo of the institute as shown below.
The word ‘Sanskar’ which is a part of the Sanstha’s name itself portrays the
mission of the institute which is to create good citizen for the country who
understand their responsibilities and play their part in the nation building. The
vision statement of the Sanstha means:
Prabodhan: It means enlightenment or providing guidance to the people.
Shikshan: It means education.

In short the Sanstha aims to enlighten, educate and rehabilitate the students and
make them better and responsible citizens in the future.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective
implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and
substantiate through specific example(s).
For effective implementation of curriculum set by the Board of Studies of
Savitribai Phule Pune University the departments of our college prepare its
action plan for teaching. The academic calendar has been prepared at the
beginning of the academic year to achieve the set objectives of fulfillment of
curriculum. The time table committee and the IQAC coordinate together and
provide information regarding the time table to the teachers and the students of
the college. The teaching plan and academic calendar have considered different
initiatives like teaching methods, use of ICT facility, orientation and motivation
of teachers, inviting guest lectures, co-curricular and extracurricular activities
and organization of seminars, conferences and workshops.
IQAC plays an important role in the effective implementation of curriculum. In
the beginning of the academic year, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell
(IQAC) calls for meeting of the faculty members and discuss the activities and
programmes that are planned for the year. The tentative annual teaching plan is
collected from the teachers and then analyzed and finalized by the IQAC.
Accordingly the time table committee prepares its teaching time table keeping
in minds the completion of the syllabus in due time and also considering the
co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Academic calendar is prepared in
such way that the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities can be conducted
without disturbing the teaching hours. The available teaching days are fully
13
utilized as per the time table. In case of change of syllabus the new syllabus is
made available in the form of soft copy and hard copy in the college library for
the perusal of the students and the teachers.
Teachers maintain diaries regarding the syllabus taught by them so that the
prescribed syllabus is covered in time. The Head of the Departments (HOD’s)
conduct meetings periodically to review the progress with the syllabus. The
teachers indulge in one way (Traditional Method) and two way communication
with the students depending on the topic taught in the class. In order to check
the knowledge level of the students and whether they have understood the topic
or not, home work, class tests, group discussions, assignments etc. are
conducted from time to time. Wherever necessary teachers make use of ICT
and make power point presentations to help the students to understand the topic
better. Also the students are encouraged to make presentations of given topics
using the ICT techniques like power point presentations in order to improve
their communication skills and presentation skills. If the teachers feel that the
syllabus is not being covered, extra lectures are conducted by the faculty so that
the syllabus can be covered. Extra classes are conducted for those students who
need additional coaching, in order to help them with their studies. Also for the
benefit of those students who are employed and hence are not in a position to
attend lectures regularly, extra classes are conducted on weekends so that the
students do not miss out on their education.
The college library is fully equipped with text books, reference books, journals,
news papers, old question papers etc. which the students and teachers can make
use of. The college has a fully equipped computer lab of 10 computers with
internet facility which the students and the teachers use. The teachers are
motivated and encouraged to participate in the different courses conducted by
the university like orientation, refresher, winter school, workshops, training
programs, conferences, seminar etc. Some of the subjects in the syllabus are of
practical nature and hence the students also need practical exposure in them
along with class room training. For this purpose the college has tied up with
different organizations, through Memorandum of Understanding (MOU’s), and
arrange for field works, preparation of projects etc. to give the students some
practical exposure.
1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers
receive (from the university and / or institution) for effectively translating
the curriculum and improving teaching practices?
The college faculties actively participate in the curriculum workshops
organised under the Board of Studies of the SPPU, held in different colleges in
the city. Some of our teachers are in the capacity of Chairman as well as
member of paper setting committees. Being a part of the paper setting
committee our faculties are specially called upon to participate in the
curriculum revision / restructuring of the syllabus workshops and the faculties
also take active part in such workshops. The faculties put forth their views and
14
problems on the syllabus during such workshops and pave way for discussions
on the same. After discussing with fellow participants of the workshops they
arrive at a conclusion and also provide suggestions and recommendations
regarding the problems discussed.
The faculty are encouraged by the Principal to participate in seminars,
conferences, workshops, research methodology courses, soft skill development
programmes etc. in order to develop their skills and abilities and to update their
knowledge in their subject areas and also to help them in enhancing their
personality. The college has adapted itself to the research culture, which is the
need of the hour, and hence encourages the faculty to indulge in research in the
form of doctorate, minor and major research projects, research papers etc.
These supplement the broadening of the subject knowledge of the faculty and
help them to improve their teaching practices. The college has organised State
Level Seminars under the Quality Improvement Programme of the SPPU. The
college has a well equipped library, loaded with text books, reference books,
magazines, newspapers, journals etc. which are effectively used by the teachers
to explain the curriculum to the students.
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facility available in
the college is in the form of a computer lab with computers and internet
facility, LCD projector used for making power point presentations by both the
students and the teachers and phonetics machine (given under the soft skills
development programme by the Academic Staff College, SPPU).
1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the
institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the
Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other statutory
agency.
Our faculties actively participate in the syllabus restructuring / curriculum
revision workshops conducted under the Board of Studies of the SPPU. Here
they get to know about the change in the syllabus and the new chapters that
might be introduced in the new syllabus. Accordingly the college tries to make
text books, reference books etc. regarding the new syllabus, available in the
college library. Also after introduction of the new syllabus by the SPPU, the
college authorities make sure that the revised syllabus is made available in hard
and soft format in the college library for the use of the teachers and the
students. The faculties plan their lectures and prepare themselves according to
the new syllabus.
The college ensures that all the required inputs are available in the college as
per the requirement of the syllabus. For example, in the new syllabus for F.Y.
B.Com, Accounting in Computerized Environment was a new chapter
introduced. The college made Tally ERP software available in the college
computer lab for the students to get practical hands on experience. The faculty
use innovative methods like power point presentations, group discussions,
15
assignments, projects etc. and teaching aids like Computers, LCD projector and
educational CD’s for effective curriculum delivery.
1.1.5 How does the institutionnetwork and interact with beneficiaries such
as industry, research bodies and the university in effective
operationalization of the curriculum?
For effectively operationalising the curriculum, the college invites experts from
the academics and the industry for guest lecture to provide information
regarding the subjects, as per the requirements of the syllabus. Also the
students are given practical work like field work to collect / gather information
or documents, surveys, industrial visits etc. to update the knowledge of the
students on the practical aspects of the subjects. The college has networked and
interacted with some organizations like chartered accountants, lawyers, trading
concerns, market research organizations, and publishers etc., through a
Memorandum of Understanding, to provide the students with practical
exposure on certain aspects of the syllabus.
1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and / or its staff
members to the development of the curriculum by the University?
(Number of staff members / departments represented on the Board of
Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback
provided, specific suggestion etc.
The college faculty actively takes part in the syllabus restructuring / curriculum
revision workshops organised at different colleges in the city, under the Board
of Studies, SPPU. Also feedback from students, teachers and other stakeholders
are collected through formal and informal discussions at alumni meetings,
student meetings etc. Valuable and useful information collected through such
meetings are also put forth by the faculty during the syllabus restructuring /
curriculum revision workshops along with the faculty’s own suggestions which
help the Members of the Board of Students in the development of the
curriculum.

The college offers seven certificate courses supporting the curriculum of the
SPPU. The syllabus of these certificate courses are set by the faculty of the
college. The faculty conducts the certificate courses free of cost for the benefit
of the students.
1.1.8 How does the institution analyze / ensure that the stated objectives of
curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation?
The objectives of the curriculum are achieved through effective
implementation of the academic plan of the college. To ascertain whether the
16
stated objectives have been achieved or not, the college evaluates the student’s
performance through tests, projects, assignments, presentations, practical
exams, term examinations, homework etc. Also the college collects feedback
from the students which help to analyse whether the objectives of curriculum
are achieved or not. Feedback from students also help to find out the loop holes
or the areas where some issues are prevalent regarding the curriculum and then
if required remedial measures are planned and implemented to resolve the
issues. The students who are found to be lagging behind are provided
additional support through extra classes by the faculty.
1.2 Academic Flexibility:
1.2.1 Specifying the goals and objectives give details of the certificate /
diploma / skill development courses etc., offered by the institution.
The college offers seven courses namely Computerized Financial Accounting
(Tally), Spoken English, Soft Skills, Translation (from English to Marathi and
vice versa), Competitive Exam Preparation, Basic Computer Usage and
Environment and Disaster Management Course. The goal of the college behind
offering of these courses to the students is to make the students employment
ready when they complete their curriculum. The overall objective of the
courses is to enhance the knowledge of the students and to develop the
personality of the students along with the improvement of their practical skills.
Information regarding the courses offered is given below:
1. Computerized Financial Accounting (Tally): This course offers practical
approach on financial accounting to the students who are interested in being
a part of the accounting field. Currently every part of the organization is
computerised and accounting is not an exception to this. Hence this course
aims to make the students employment ready when they complete their
graduation. The objective of the course is to make the students aware of the
recent trends in accounting and to teach the students to record the
accounting transactions using computer software. The course will enable
the students to work on their own when they get employed. The duration of
the course is one month.
2. Spoken English: English being a universal language is used in all walks of
life. Knowingly or unknowingly our day to day communication also
consists of many English words. The college is a Marathi medium college
and hence majority of the students are from a Marathi medium background.
The objective of this course is to improve the communication skills of the
students in English language and make the students confident in English
conversations. The duration of the course is 1 months.
3. Soft Skills: The overall personality of the individual creates a positive or
negative impression. During employment only oral or written skills are not
expected from the candidate but they are marked on their overall
personality right from etiquettes, mannerisms, gestures, clothing,
communication and how they present themselves. Also emphasis is laid on
the technical knowledge, presentation skills, etc. The objective of this
17
course is to help the students to develop their overall personality. The
duration of the course is 1 months.
4. Translation (from English to Marathi and vice versa): Majority of the
communication in the Government Departments in Maharashtra takes place
in Marathi language. Hence it is necessary that people know how to draft
documents in Marathi. At the same time some documents are provided by
the government which is in Marathi and they might be required to be
translated in English. The objective of the course is to enable the students to
translate from English to Marathi and vice versa. The course will enable the
students to translate documents from one language to another without
hassles. The duration of the course is one month.
5. Competitive Exam Preparation: In order to get into government / banking
service the students have to undertake competitive examinations. The
objective of this course is to prepare the students for the competitive
examinations. Under this course the students are provided guidance on how
to prepare themselves for the competitive examinations. The duration of the
course is one month.
6. Basic Computer Usage: In today’s computerised environment lack of
computer skills is definitely a disadvantage when it comes to employment.
Since most of the students of this college come from a rural background
they do not get the opportunity to gain knowledge on use of computers. The
basic objective of this course is enable to students to gain working
knowledge of MSWORD, MSEXCEL, MSPOWERPOINT and to teach
them how to gather information from the internet using search engines, to
operate e-mail accounts etc. The course will help the students in making
presentations, preparation of reports, making calculations etc. using the
Microsoft software. The duration of the course is one month.
7. Environment and Disaster Management Course: Environment is an
important aspect of our day to day lives. Today everyone is trying to do
their bit to preserve and improve the environment. Keeping in mind the
importance of environment subjects on environment are taught from the
school level itself. At the graduate level also there is a subject on
Environment Awareness. In this highly technological and advanced time
also it is not possible to predict when a disaster might occur and hence it is
necessary that as the citizens of the country we should be prepared to face
it. The basic objective of this course is to create an awareness regarding the
environment amongst the students and also teach them to preserve the
environment. Another objective is to provide the students with guidance on
how to face the disasters and come out of it safely and also in what ways
can the students help others during such times. The duration of the course is
one month.

by the university. Our faculty members are acting in different positions in the
paper setting committee of the SPPU. Also some of our faculty members are

syllabus followed by other universities also. The faculty suggests
improvements in the syllabus during the curriculum revision / syllabus

has introduced a certificate course in spoken english from the year 2011-12 and
the certificate course in computerised accounting environment from the year
2013-14. The rationale behind the introduction of these new certificate courses
was to make the students employment ready. The certificate course in
Computerised Accounting Environment provides a practical working
knowledge of accounting software to the students. The certificate course in
Spoken English helps the students to communicate in English fluently thereby
by building their confidence in communication. Sanskar Mandir Sanstha’s Arts
and Commerce College was the only senior college situated in the rural area of
Warje-Malwadi, when the college was established i.e. in the year 2000. The
area did not have any institute to provide higher education facility to the
students in the area. Establishment of the two programmes i.e. B.A. and B.Com
under the Arts and Commerce College satisfied the need of higher education in
the area.

The college has only traditional courses like B.A. and B.Com. Normally
students from the same stream take the admission.The teachers assess the

students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills at the time of admission
processes by interacting students and previous results.
Once the analysis of the students is done on the XII standard marks in the
initial phase of their admission process the knowledge gap and level of
grasping knowledge is ascertained for each student. Accordingly the strategies
are devised for weak and meritorious students.
The various departments of the college organize study tours and visits to
industries and banks. Most of the students being from vernacular background
face the difficulty of understanding the subject because of basic lack of
knowledge of English language. So English department organized spoken

5.2 Student Progression
5.2.1 Providing the percentage of students progressing to higher
education or employment (for the last four batches) highlights the trends
observed.
The following data summarizes the progress of students from UG to PG and to
employment during last five years.

II) Other than Campus

The above information gives approximate number of percentage of students
pursuing their respective careers after graduating from the college. It is quite
necessary to mention that the maximum number of students studying in the
college belongs to the lower and middle economic class so after graduation
they are compelled to earn money to take care of their family responsibilities
which resists them from taking admission to PG or Professional courses. (It is
important to note that the above data is only an indicative that can be used for
finding the general trends. As we don’t offer any professional or post-graduate
degree, Students take admissions to post graduation at other centers. So the
mobility of students is difficult to be traced for reasons.)
The prominent reasons found behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:
 A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the
underprivileged classes which compel them to go out of the education
system after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family
agriculture profession.
 Maximum number of girl students in the institute come from rural areas and
getting married at the early age is common social practice. Due to which
education of many girl students stop at graduation level itself.
5.2.2 Provide details of the programme wise pass percentage and
completion rate for the last four years (course wise/batch wise as
stipulated by the university)?Furnish programme wise details in
comparison with that of the previous performance of the same institution

The above comparison indicates that the average results of our College have
been consistently good and has shown gradual increase.
5.2.3 How does the institution facilitate student progression to higher
level of education and/or towards employment?

higher education to the students belonging to the various towns around Warje.
Socio-economical situations of our students compel them to discontinue their
higher studies but the institutiontry its best to convince such dropouts with
extra efforts such as:
108
 Students who are at the risk of failure has been identified by the individual
faculty members as subject teachers and get necessary counseling. Such
students are identified from their interactions with the concerned teachers in
the class with the help of results of midterm examination. Such students are
counseled and encouraged to pursue the academic program with greater
sincerity.

BEST PRACTICES - II
Title of the Practice:Towards Gender Equality
Goal:
 To sensitize the students to various dimensions of gender discrimination.
 To engage the students in activities that would empower them to work
towards a gender just society.
The Context:
There is an alarming rise in violence against women. No society can
claim itself to be developed if half its populace is deprived of a dignified
existence. As citizens of India it is our primary duty to uphold the values
of equality, liberty, justice and fraternity enshrined in our Constitution.
The Practice:
Our College is committed to the cause of gender equality and has been
undertaking several programs towards this end. They are academic,
awareness and action oriented. The management and the college always
insists on the following aspects, no discrimination, no differentiation, no
looking down upon, no superiority complex, equal treatment, equal
opportunities, no negligence for girl students.
 Every year the college has organized Girls Personality
Development Workshop to motivate the girl students’ gender
equality, women empowerment, health, women’s place in
politics.
134
 NSS department also organized lecture series of Women Self-
help group for girls to enhance their knowledge of equality in
business in 2011-2012.
 NSS camp has organized Save Girl Child Rally in January 2013.
 NSS department has also organized Street Play related to Save
Girl Child in January 2015.
 Gymkhana also encourages girl students to participate in various
games.
 In fact here has been culture that girl students are University
Representative of the College.
Examples:1) Miss. Anita AchyutraoGiri ( 2015 – 2016)
2) Miss. PayalRavindraWarankar (2014 – 2015)
3) Miss. Nanda KalbhorRamdas (2011- 2012)
Evidence of Success:
It is very heartening to note the gradual change of attitude amongst
students after the exposure to various programs.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Misogyny is so deep rooted in our society that changing patriarchal
mindset is a humongous task. Also issues related to women, sexuality
and family evoke a strong emotive response and rational thinking often
flounders.
BEST PRACTICES - III
Title of the Practice: Practical Exposure to the Students
Goal:
The goal of this practice is to give practical exposure to students, so as
to broaden their knowledge base thereby enhancing their confidence,
employability and research skills. This practice would ensure a good
academic record and develop leadership qualities.
The Context:
Due to the rapid up gradation of technology, a demand for new products,
globalization and a highly competitive market, students need to keep
themselves abreast with the latest trends in the Organization. In order to
bridge the gap between academia and organization the students need to
get practical exposure. Need of the hour is for academia to identify,
understand and provide solutions for problems faced by the organization
and to train the students to tackle the same. Hence it is vital to give
relevant practical exposure to the students, so that they gain technical
knowledge and enhance their confidence.
The Practice:
Students are expected to be academically strong and have a good
practical exposure. Students are encouraged to upgrade their knowledge
in their respective disciplines. Besides having a good academic records,
students need to have good communication skills, soft skills and
learnability skills. To cater to these aspects of student development
eminent personalities from various reputed Institutes and organizations
135
are invited to impart practical exposure to the students through
conferences, workshops, seminars, guest lectures etc.
Industrial visits are arranged for students to get an insight into the
industrial environment.The Institute has signed MoUs with reputed
organization so as to bridge the gap between organization and academia.
The college has encouraged to work on projects in some subjects like
Environmental Awareness, Economics, English and Commerce to
enhance their creativity and thinking ability. Students are motivated to
participate in research competitions, like “Avishkar”,
National/International conferences/ Workshops and, seminars organized
by the college and other institutions also. They are encouraged to share
their ideas with the outside world by presenting themselves in such
activities.
Evidence of Success:
The Institute efforts are indicative in students’ academic performance
and placements. Sizeable numbers of students are pursuing post
graduate Programs. The Institutes success is evident from the MoUs
with reputed organizations/industries.
Problems Encountered
Time constraints due to the term-end examination and various activities
of the college limit the number of workshops, seminars and guest
lectures.
Resources Required
Necessary provisions are made in the budget allocation.
Notes
The confidence of the students is boosted due to arranging the expertise
training and corrective measures taken by the Institute. There is
recognition and appreciation by students, and they are actively
participating in all such Programs.
Due to the impact of above practices, noticeable positive change has
been observed in education process. Thestudents’ measurable
performance is observed through their better placement, the efforts made
by the Institute are well appreciated by the industries. These activities
are very fundamental for career and development of the students. The
students are happy to enjoy all such changes in their lives.

Note-
The above information gives number of percentage of students selected through
campus recruitment. It is important to note that the above data is only an
indicative that can be used for finding the general trends. As we don’t offer
any professional or post-graduate degree, Students take admissions to post
graduation at other centers. So the mobility of students is difficult to be traced
for reasons.
The prominent reasons found behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:
 A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the
underprivileged classes which compel them to go out of the education
system after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family
agriculture profession.
 Maximum number of girl students in the institute comes from rural areas
and getting married at the early age is common social practice. Due to
which education of many girl students stop at graduation level it.
30. Details of Infrastructural facilities.

Note:The above information gives number of percentage of students selected
through campus recruitment. It is important to note that the above data is only
an indicative that can be used for finding the general trends. As we don’t offer
any professional or post-graduate degree, Students take admissions to post
graduation at other centers. So the mobility of students is difficult to be traced
for reasons.
163
The prominent reasons found behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:
 A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the
underprivileged class which compel them to go out of the education system
after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family agriculture
profession.
 Maximum number of girl students in the institute come from rural areas and
getting married at the early age is common social practice. Due to which
education of many girl students stop at graduation level itself. But it has
been seen that even after marriage there are many girls who take admission
in our college and complete their graduation.

A) Library : Yes
We have a Library as well as special separate text books, reference books,

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plans.-
Strength (S):-We at Sanskar Mandir Sansthas Arts & Commerce College
provide high quality education in commerce so that our students can join
industry, immediately after the course. The B.Com program aims at developing
a student's intellectual ability, executive personality and managerial skills
through an appropriate blending of university curriculum and certificate
courses offered by the college. The program assists the student in preparing
themselves to face the challenges of the world and also to improve their
employability skills. It also develops the students’ presentation skills and
communication skills. We have dynamic faculties in the Dept. of Commerce
who take all efforts in providing quality based education to the students. In the
era of globalization students are trained according to the demands of the
industry and economy. Teachers are young, dynamic and well qualified i.e. one
teacher is a doctorate and also holds three professional qualifications i.e.
G.D.C.&A certificate, Accounting Technician Certificate issued by the ICAI
and C.A. (Intermediate) and two teachers are pursuing doctorate degree. The
teachers are actively involved in syllabus restructuring workshops and are also
members of the paper setting committee, they are involved in research
activities and use different teaching techniques and also actively participate in
organizing various curricular and co-curricular activities. The department has
signed MOU’s with various organizations like chartered accountants, lawyers,
trading concerns, market research agencies etc. to provide hands on experience
to the students.
Weakness (W):- Since most of the students come from economically weak
background they are keen in seeking employment and hence their attendance
regularity in lectures is not upto the expectations. Many students joining this
course come from vernacular medium. Therefore these students find it difficult
to understand the lectures in english and deliver the same in english during the
exams. Also, the students need to get practical exposure / lab facility to develop
a better understanding of the theoretical computer related subjects taught. The
college offers additional certificate courses for the students but not many
students come forward to take advantage of these courses. All the classrooms
in the college are not ICT enabled and hence the students have to be shifted
165
from one classroom to another so that maximum students can be benefitted.
More number of computers and a better computer lab is the need of the hour.
Opportunities (O):- Since commerce is a booming sector lot of employment
opportunities are being made available to the students. More practical oriented
projects and employment oriented programmes can be initiated with the
support of the management. By enhancing our students’ communication skills,
technical skills & better awareness through various seminars / guest lectures /
workshops, etc. students indeed have wider opportunities available. B.Com
degree definitely opens more job opportunities than any other degree. If better
infrastructure facilities are provided by the management, then the commerce
department would be able to run additional Diploma, UG and PG courses of the
SPPU and other universities which would improve the student strength of the
college.
Challenges (C):- The most important challenges faced by the commerce
department are:
• To prepare the students as per the demands of the economy/society.
• To motivate the students to take up professional course and adapting to
developed techniques.
• Training the students to improve their communication skills is a
challenge as usage of vernacular language by the B.com students is very
high.
• While this course provides an overview of commerce, it doesn't offer
much scope by itself, unless one follows it up with another
professional/post graduate qualification.
• Motivating and enhancing the students’ merit is a challenge when the
students seeking admission to the B.Com course comes with an average
percentage of 35% and above in HSC.
• Obtaining sufficient infrastructural and up to date ICT facilities.
Future plan:- B.Com graduates can also enroll for professional courses such
as CS, CA , LLB and ICWAI which are very much in demand these days. They
can enroll for post graduation courses such as MBA and M.Com depending on
their choice. The B.Com pass outs can also opt for part time jobs and enroll for
some short duration computer courses and other diploma courses which will be
an added advantage. The students interested in taking up government jobs can
prepare for UPSC exams such as civil services and NDA (National Defense
Academy). The students also have good scope in fields like marketing, cost
accounting and financial accounting. The students can also prepare for bank
entrance examinations for building a career in the banking domain. So, a
candidate pursuing a B.Com program has endless opportunities in front of him
/ her. After completion of the B.Com program, it’s up to the student whether he
/ she opts for higher studies or takes up any good job opportunity. The
Commerce Department can contribute in the higher and professional education
of the college students by:
166
• Introducing Post Graduate Commerce Degree (M.Com)
• Adding a non-grant division at the Under Graduate Level (B.Com)
• Introducing diploma courses like DBM and DTL
• A post graduate diploma course (PG Diploma in Taxation) to be
introduced
• Organization of State and National level seminar
For this, the following developmental activities need to be undertaken:
i. Development in class room infrastructure viz. audio - visual facilities.
ii. Providing additional classrooms and other facilities to enable
introduction and implementation of the above mentioned courses.
iii. Arranging more guest lectures by inviting renowned entrepreneurs, IT
experts, corporate trainers, motivational speakers for sharing their
valued experience and motivating and guiding our young minds.
iv. Updation of library and providing computer labs for acquiring practical
computer knowledge.
v. More corporate - academia interaction to enhance the placement
activities for the B.Com students.
Developing sense of social awareness &inculcating social responsibility
amongst students thus contributing towards creation of better youth and
better, responsible &responsive citizens of tomorrow.

Sanskar Mandir Sanstha was established in 1988 with the broader aim of providing enlightenment, education and rehabilitation of people by counseling and educating them.

Till today the Sanstha has tried to help as many people as possible to educate themselves and make them good citizens of the country. The Sanstha conducts different activities, programs and camps with the help of the Pune Municipal Corporation and other institutions in order to achieve their objective of educating people. For the purpose of providing education to all the people, which is the objective of the Sanstha, the Sanstha has started two high schools and one senior college in different areas of Pune. The area in which the college is situated, Warje-Malwadi, was a rural area when the Sanstha was established. The area was outside the Pune Municipal Corporation limits. Within the radius of 5 kms of the college area there were no colleges present at that time. The establishment of the college by the Sanstha in the year 2000,
  • 11.
    11 proved to bethe most beneficial activity done by the Sanstha as it helped the nearby people living the same area in getting higher education. In the year 2001, the area where the college is situated was brought within the Pune municipal corporation limits. The college is located in Puneurban area and offers two under graduate programmes i.e. Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) under the faculty of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) under the faculty of Commerce. The college is approved by the Government of Maharashtra and is affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University. The college has one sanctioned division of B.A. and one sanctioned division of B.Com. Presently, there are totally 581 students enrolled for the B.A. (286) and B.Com (295) programmes in the college. Most of the students attending classes in this college are from the nearby rural and hilly areas and some students are from the urban areas as well. The academic plan of the college is made annually and it has been implemented under different departments. The college has 23 staff members consisting of 13 Assistant Professors, 1 Physical Director, 1 Librarian and 8 Non-teaching Staff. All these staff members working here are permanent. The college keeps inviting renowned faculties from outside the college (visiting faculty) to deliver the lectures to the students in various subjects. The vision and mission of the college are communicated to all the stakeholders i.e. students, teachers, staff members and parents, through display boards in the college, the college prospectus, publications and practical journal notebooks etc. Vision: Sanskar Mandir’s Arts and Commerce College was established in the year 2000, to quench the thirst of higher education of the people residing in the nearby areas of Haveli Taluka, Pune. The vision statement of the Sanstha is “Prabodhan – Shikshan – Punarvasan”. This is inscribed at the bottom of the logo of the institute as shown below.

  • 12.
    12 Mission: To provide qualityeducation to the young generation and inculcate the value system in them and strengthen their economic, social and cultural life, make them responsible citizens of tomorrow. Objectives: The objectives of the institute are:  To spread the light of education to the unprivileged and under privileged sections of the society.  To provide quality education to the students with the use of Information and Communication Technology.  To prepare the students to face the challenges that lay in front of them.  To inculcate confidence, decision making ability and better code of conduct (sanskar) among the students.  To make the students responsible citizens of India.  To help the students in developing a positive attitude and instill ethical, moral and social values in them.  To develop the research culture among the staff members and students.  To build the overall personality of the students through curricular, co- curricular and extra-curricular activities through various programmes.  To prepare the students for employment through various initiatives. 1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate through specific example(s). For effective implementation of curriculum set by the Board of Studies of Savitribai Phule Pune University the departments of our college prepare its action plan for teaching. The academic calendar has been prepared at the beginning of the academic year to achieve the set objectives of fulfillment of curriculum. The time table committee and the IQAC coordinate together and provide information regarding the time table to the teachers and the students of the college. The teaching plan and academic calendar have considered different initiatives like teaching methods, use of ICT facility, orientation and motivation of teachers, inviting guest lectures, co-curricular and extracurricular activities and organization of seminars, conferences and workshops. IQAC plays an important role in the effective implementation of curriculum. In the beginning of the academic year, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) calls for meeting of the faculty members and discuss the activities and programmes that are planned for the year. The tentative annual teaching plan is collected from the teachers and then analyzed and finalized by the IQAC. Accordingly the time table committee prepares its teaching time table keeping in minds the completion of the syllabus in due time and also considering the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Academic calendar is prepared in such way that the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities can be conducted without disturbing the teaching hours. The available teaching days are fully
  • 13.
    13 utilized as perthe time table. In case of change of syllabus the new syllabus is made available in the form of soft copy and hard copy in the college library for the perusal of the students and the teachers. Teachers maintain diaries regarding the syllabus taught by them so that the prescribed syllabus is covered in time. The Head of the Departments (HOD’s) conduct meetings periodically to review the progress with the syllabus. The teachers indulge in one way (Traditional Method) and two way communication with the students depending on the topic taught in the class. In order to check the knowledge level of the students and whether they have understood the topic or not, home work, class tests, group discussions, assignments etc. are conducted from time to time. Wherever necessary teachers make use of ICT and make power point presentations to help the students to understand the topic better. Also the students are encouraged to make presentations of given topics using the ICT techniques like power point presentations in order to improve their communication skills and presentation skills. If the teachers feel that the syllabus is not being covered, extra lectures are conducted by the faculty so that the syllabus can be covered. Extra classes are conducted for those students who need additional coaching, in order to help them with their studies. Also for the benefit of those students who are employed and hence are not in a position to attend lectures regularly, extra classes are conducted on weekends so that the students do not miss out on their education. The college library is fully equipped with text books, reference books, journals, news papers, old question papers etc. which the students and teachers can make use of. The college has a fully equipped computer lab of 10 computers with internet facility which the students and the teachers use.

The prominent reasons found behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:  A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the underprivileged classes which compel them to go out of the education system after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family agriculture profession.  Maximum number of girl students in the institute come from rural areas and getting married at the early age is common social practice.

BEST PRACTICES - II Title of the Practice:Towards Gender Equality Goal:  To sensitize the students to various dimensions of gender discrimination.  To engage the students in activities that would empower them to work towards a gender just society.

BEST PRACTICES - III Title of the Practice: Practical Exposure to the Students Goal: The goal of this practice is to give practical exposure to students, so as to broaden their knowledge base thereby enhancing their confidence, employability and research skills. This practice would ensure a good academic record and develop leadership qualities. The Context: Due to the rapid up gradation of technology, a demand for new products, globalization and a highly competitive market, students need to keep themselves abreast with the latest trends in the Organization. In order to bridge the gap between academia and organization the students need to get practical exposure. Need of the hour is for academia to identify, understand and provide solutions for problems faced by the organization and to train the students to tackle the same. Hence it is vital to give relevant practical exposure to the students, so that they gain technical knowledge and enhance their confidence. The Practice: Students are expected to be academically strong and have a good practical exposure. Students are encouraged to upgrade their knowledge in their respective disciplines. Besides having a good academic records, students need to have good communication skills, soft skills and learnability skills.

It is important to note that the above data is only an indicative that can be used for finding the general trends. As we don’t offer any professional or post-graduate degree, Students take admissions to post graduation at other centers. So the mobility of students is difficult to be traced for reasons. The prominent reasons found behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:  A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the underprivileged classes which compel them to go out of the education system after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family agriculture profession.  Maximum number of girl students in the institute comes from rural areas and getting married at the early age is common social practice. Due to which education of many girl students stop at graduation level it. 30. Details of Infrastructural facilities.

It is important to note that the above data is only an indicative that can be used for finding the general trends. As we don’t offer any professional or post-graduate degree, Students take admissions to post graduation at other centers. So the mobility of students is difficult to be traced for reasons.
  • 163.
    163 The prominent reasonsfound behind the discontinuation of higher studies are:  A large number of students studying in the institute belong to the underprivileged class which compel them to go out of the education system after their graduations and to take up a job or assist in family agriculture profession.  Maximum number of girl students in the institute come from rural areas and getting married at the early age is common social practice. Due to which education of many girl students stop at graduation level itself. But it has been seen that even after marriage there are many girls who take admission in our college and complete their graduation. 30. Details of Infrastructural facilities.

SWOC analysis of the department and future plans.- Strength (S):-We at Sanskar Mandir Sansthas Arts & Commerce College provide high quality education in commerce so that our students can join industry, immediately after the course. The B.Com program aims at developing a student's intellectual ability, executive personality and managerial skills through an appropriate blending of university curriculum and certificate courses offered by the college. The program assists the student in preparing themselves to face the challenges of the world and also to improve their employability skills. It also develops the students’ presentation skills and communication skills. We have dynamic faculties in the Dept. of Commerce who take all efforts in providing quality based education to the students. In the era of globalization students are trained according to the demands of the industry and economy. Teachers are young, dynamic and well qualified i.e. one teacher is a doctorate and also holds three professional qualifications i.e. G.D.C.&A certificate, Accounting Technician Certificate issued by the ICAI and C.A. (Intermediate) and two teachers are pursuing doctorate degree. The teachers are actively involved in syllabus restructuring workshops and are also members of the paper setting committee, they are involved in research activities and use different teaching techniques and also actively participate in organizing various curricular and co-curricular activities. The department has signed MOU’s with various organizations like chartered accountants, lawyers, trading concerns, market research agencies etc. to provide hands on experience to the students. Weakness (W):- Since most of the students come from economically weak background they are keen in seeking employment and hence their attendance regularity in lectures is not upto the expectations. Many students joining this course come from vernacular medium. Therefore these students find it difficult to understand the lectures in english and deliver the same in english during the exams. Also, the students need to get practical exposure / lab facility to develop a better understanding of the theoretical computer related subjects taught. The college offers additional certificate courses for the students but not many students come forward to take advantage of these courses. All the classrooms in the college are not ICT enabled and hence the students have to be shifted
  • 165.
    165 from one classroomto another so that maximum students can be benefitted. More number of computers and a better computer lab is the need of the hour. Opportunities (O):- Since commerce is a booming sector lot of employment opportunities are being made available to the students. More practical oriented projects and employment oriented programmes can be initiated with the support of the management. By enhancing our students’ communication skills, technical skills & better awareness through various seminars / guest lectures / workshops, etc. students indeed have wider opportunities available. B.Com degree definitely opens more job opportunities than any other degree. If better infrastructure facilities are provided by the management, then the commerce department would be able to run additional Diploma, UG and PG courses of the SPPU and other universities which would improve the student strength of the college. Challenges (C):- The most important challenges faced by the commerce department are: • To prepare the students as per the demands of the economy/society. • To motivate the students to take up professional course and adapting to developed techniques. • Training the students to improve their communication skills is a challenge as usage of vernacular language by the B.com students is very high. • While this course provides an overview of commerce, it doesn't offer much scope by itself, unless one follows it up with another professional/post graduate qualification. • Motivating and enhancing the students’ merit is a challenge when the students seeking admission to the B.Com course comes with an average percentage of 35% and above in HSC. • Obtaining sufficient infrastructural and up to date ICT facilities. Future plan:- B.Com graduates can also enroll for professional courses such as CS, CA , LLB and ICWAI which are very much in demand these days. They can enroll for post graduation courses such as MBA and M.Com depending on their choice. The B.Com pass outs can also opt for part time jobs and enroll for some short duration computer courses and other diploma courses which will be an added advantage. The students interested in taking up government jobs can prepare for UPSC exams such as civil services and NDA (National Defense Academy). The students also have good scope in fields like marketing, cost accounting and financial accounting. The students can also prepare for bank entrance examinations for building a career in the banking domain. So, a candidate pursuing a B.Com program has endless opportunities in front of him / her. After completion of the B.Com program, it’s up to the student whether he / she opts for higher studies or takes up any good job opportunity. The Commerce Department can contribute in the higher and professional education of the college students by:
  • 166.
    166 • Introducing PostGraduate Commerce Degree (M.Com) • Adding a non-grant division at the Under Graduate Level (B.Com) • Introducing diploma courses like DBM and DTL • A post graduate diploma course (PG Diploma in Taxation) to be introduced • Organization of State and National level seminar For this, the following developmental activities need to be undertaken: i. Development in class room infrastructure viz. audio - visual facilities. ii. Providing additional classrooms and other facilities to enable introduction and implementation of the above mentioned courses. iii. Arranging more guest lectures by inviting renowned entrepreneurs, IT experts, corporate trainers, motivational speakers for sharing their valued experience and motivating and guiding our young minds. iv. Updation of library and providing computer labs for acquiring practical computer knowledge. v. More corporate - academia interaction to enhance the placement activities for the B.Com students. Developing sense of social awareness &inculcating social responsibility amongst students thus contributing towards creation of better youth and better, responsible &responsive citizens of tomorrow.
