2) To measure student satisfaction about physical facility and infrastructure.

3) To measure student satisfaction about support services provide by college.

Our college is run under the government’s grant- in-aid scheme and student is at the centre of our system. The students are our centrally importance beneficiaries. The student satisfaction and his suggestions, about teaching process, infrastructure facilities, and curriculum & co- curricular activities are very important for overall performance of the college. It is with this awareness in our mind we thought to introduce this practice in our institution.

The NAAC itself has provided a format for student satisfaction survey. It has provided online questionnaire for this survey. Our college has been used this questionnaire from the year 2019-2020. This practice would bring great credit to the college in the next accreditation of the college

In the current year is the third year of implementation. The college has an open and transparent approach to this practice. The feedback collected from this survey is used for the improvement of various sectors. It is also used for making future plans for quality enhancement.

The practice is still purely voluntary in the college. There is fear in the mind of students to express their opinions about college or teachers openly. Actually student satisfaction survey is a self check and self improving practice on the part of the college.

Our college is situated in the semi urban area but its catchment is still rural. The majority of the students are deprived of education especially girl students. Their education is stopped after their marriage. In order to motivate the girl students to complete their education, we provide counseling to the students through mentor mentee scheme. NAAC has also introduced this scheme from 2018 – 19.

As per IQAC suggestion, staff meeting was conducted for the implementation of mentoring system. For the allotment of mentor-mentee scheme the ratio of fulltime teachers and total number of admitted students is taken into consideration. After allotment of students printed forms are given to each mentee for mentor-mentee scheme. The form is filled by every student and submitted to mentor. This form covers the whole information of the mentee. In the academic year, each mentor conducts meeting with mentee for each semester. In this meeting mentor guides about their extracurricular activities, personal and economical difficulties. In each mentee, mentor offers guidelines and counseling to the students as per their need. All the mentors communicate the progress of mentee regularly. The mentoring system helps in identifying slow learners and advanced learners. During the initial meeting with mentee, the mentor explains how the mentor mentee system will be beneficial to both by way of participation in curricular, co-curricular, social, cultural, N.S.S. and sports activities.

After the implementations, of this best practice it is noticed that the practice has helped to develop a strong bond between student and teachers. The mentor finds out strengths and weakness of the mentee and guides mentee to develop their area of interests. The mentor also guides the mentee for their future career. Mentor also conducts dialogues with parent of the mentee to update and discuss the development phases of their ward through SMS and phone calls. This practice is appreciated by students and parents also.

This practice has became successful The mentees come with their problems to solve it with discussion with their mentors. There is problem of sparing time for this scheme on the part of mentee still all the mentees try to give sufficient time to their mentees very happily.

India is agricultural country and many people live in rural area. Majority senior citizens who live in village are illiterate, economically backward, careless about their health, neglected by their family. They cannot get medical facilities from cities easily. Even they are not aware about their health problem especially eye problems in this context, it is felt that the students from NSS Unit can work for this people.

The NSS Unit of our college adapt a village for their extension activities. The students from NSS unit takes survey of patients suffering from eye problems.

2) To develop public communication between Indian army and Public life.

3) To make aware about multilingual and multicultural heritage of india .

Today we are living in world of science and technology. People from all fields/domains are using cell phones, Internet ,computers. The excessive use of these modern techniques have decreased their habit of reading. Again India is very vast multilingual and multicultural country Indian Army has played very Important role in security of our country. There is library facility on every Army centre but the books in these libraries are generally in Hindi and English.Generaly there are no Books for regional languages. Books in mother tongue provide entertainment and knowledge. Keeping in view ,above context we have started this practice to inculcate reading habit among Indian Army and to read particularly literature in Marathi which is very rich.

In Order to inculcate the habit of reading literature in mothertongue. we donate books in Marathi to each familiar soldier from our region who works in Indian Army. We invite these soldiers in our college and felicitate him and donate him books. Even we prefer husbands of our gril students who work in Indian Army. We collect books for this practice from students ,faculty, society.

The various activities of this practice enriched the libraries in army. Even family members of the soldiers enjoyed reading in mothertongue. The soldiers expressed their gratitude to institution. They also told that their family members who live with them read and enjoyed the books in their mothertongue. This practices has created a valuable service to writers whose books had got a place in libraries of Army. This practice has created direct dialogue between soldiers and students. The soldiers had provided guidance to our students for opportunities of military services. This practice has laid to enrichment of our polyglot culture. Our teaching community and the students show respect to Indian soldiers.

1. It is very difficult to search soldiers. They visit their native places when they are on leave. The span of their leave is very limited and it is very difficult for them to give us their valuable time.

2. It is very difficult to motivate students and people to donate books for soldiers.
