Annexure 2 – Feedback by Alumni

Formal and informal feedback are collected from alumni. Informal feedback is collected when they visit the college individually or when the faculty members meet them in various places. Formal feedback is gathered in the alumni chapter meetings at various places. The following points are noted as their feedback:

1. Preparing the students to be industry-ready is very important.

2. Soft skill training is to be made more systematic.

3. English language proficiency should be improved.

4. Students should do more projects during their college days.

Annexure 3 – Feedback by Parents

Feedback from the parents is collected during the PTA meeting. It is conducted twice a year. PTA is conducted class-wise and the students also attend the common meeting. Either before or after the common meeting, each parent meets the principal and all the teachers individually along with the student. This creates a forum for the parents and students to discuss and identify their strengths and weaknesses. Some of the suggestions that have come up during such meetings are:

1. Insist on language training.

2. Provide games facility for the students.

3. Improve the hostel for boys, preferably shift it to a quitter place.

Annexure 4 – Feedback by Employers

College attracts a few companies for campus placement. Some of these companies come for pooled campus drive, not specifically for Don Bosco College. We are not able to gather useful feedback from them, as their report is not specifically based on their experience of Don Bosco students. We also have three companies that come specifically to pick up students from Don Bosco. They already have Don Bosco alumni working with them. Thus they are able to provide valuable feedback. Some of them are:

1. Need to develop critical thinking.

2. Improve the logical skills.

3. Learn to think out of the box.

All the employers have commented the team spirit of Don Bosco students.

Annexure 5 – Feedback by Students

The feedback taken from the students are mainly about the facilities available in the college and the teaching-learning practice. Their feedback include:

1. They are happy with the quality of teaching and the pace of covering the syllabus.

2. They need more activities like competitions, inter-collegiate programs etc.

3. Industrial visits, interaction with start-up companies etc. to be strengthened.

Annexure i – Best Practice 1 – College to Village Program

Practice 1

1. Title of the Practice

College to Village Program

2. Goal

The goal of this practice is to inculcate social intelligence among the staff and students. Majority of our students come from rural background and they are in touch with the realities of rural life. They are the best candidates to go into the villages, help the villagers in their struggles and also to spread the message of education. Through the ‘College to Village’ program, all the staff and students go to a village and work there along with the villagers. We also arrange a cultural evening for the villagers, during which the need for education is communicated. In this way, we educate the students to be agents of social change.

3. The Context

We have observed that many qualified people isolate themselves from the ground realities. They forget their social commitment and live only for themselves leading to an ever increasing gap between ‘the knowledge-haves’ and the ‘knowledge have not’s’. Education must generate socially committed professionals, who share responsibility and play their part in uplifting the society.

Another observation is, we need to raise the level of motivation of the underprivileged. We mingle with them and join for manual work with them. This makes us acceptable to them. Thus we reach a stage where we can talk to them about the need of education for their children, about the need for hygiene, about the problems of intoxicants etc.

4. The Practice

The MCA association makes the initial planning of the event. They identify a village for the camp. A prominent person, normally the leader of the village and his associates are contacted to identify the requirements, like helping one or two poor families to construct their houses, repairing the road, etc. This requirement is brought back to the college and discussed in a bigger forum. After it is approved, a detailed plan for the program is prepared. Since the program envisages to educate the young people of the village their involvement and collaboration is assured at every stage of the program. We also arrange collaborative cultural evening with the villagers. The village leader takes the responsibility to arrange programs from the villagers.

5. Evidence of Success

Special mention must be made that the students involve themselves in this program whole heartedly. Every year, they take the initiative, identify the village and the type of work, find out the suitable time and plan the program. Social commitment has gone into their blood. When there was a natural calamity in the neighbouring village, the students took the initiative for relief work. When the college was celebrating the decennial year, they came out with the concept of establishing a decennial endowment to help the poor school children around. They also signed up to donate their organs, as a memento of the celebrations. Another concept they came out with and implemented successfully is adopting a primary school. Here again, the students spend their time and money, to help the poor kids. All these show that the students have imbibed social commitment.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

There were many fears when the concept was conceived. Some of them are the acceptance of the idea by the student community and their parents, how the villagers would look at the program, where to accommodate the students (especially girl students) for the night, the time investment, the funds required etc. To the surprise of everyone, none of these fears materialized. The program has always been a huge success and the students as well as the villagers are full of appreciation for the same.

The expenses involved for the program are met by the students themselves. The major expense is the journey and food. Lunch is normally provided by the villagers. It is encouraging to see the students spending their pocket money to be of help to the society.

7. Notes

A thorough study of the ground realities and socio-cultural practices of the village under consideration is a must for the success of the program.

Annexure ii – Best Practice 2 – Morning Assembly

1. Title of the Practice

Morning Assembly

2. Goal

The practice of morning assembly has several goals. It helps all the staff and students to begin the day in a prayerful and meditative atmosphere, which sets a spiritual tone for all ensuing activities of the day. It is also an opportunity for the principal to make common announcements, and to appreciate achievements if any. The morning assembly helps a lot in bridging any communication gaps and creates a family atmosphere in the campus. One component of the assembly is a thought for the day delivered normally by a student. The practice while filling the minds of the group with positive energy, helps to improve the communication skills of students. To do justice to the task of preparing a thought for the day the students are motivated to read up inspiring quotes and anecdotes which helps them further.

3. The Context

College students belong to a particular age group, where they like to be different and enjoy freedom. Giving them proper guidance at this stage is important. The prayer and the instructions are a means to this. When the students are asked to give a message to their own peers, they prepare well for it. They look for stories and examples to make their message impressive. This forces them to be on the lookout for impressive ideas and examples, which in turn helps them to imbibe moral and ethical values.

4. The Practice

The practice has several components. Before the classes begin, the staff and students come together. The principal leads the prayer. Announcements, if any are then made. A message by one of the students follows. The assembly is concluded by singing the college anthem by all.

This practice is rather unique. Problems with English language, stage fear, and lack of ideas were limiting factors in implementing the concept of delivering of message by students. These were overcome by explaining to them how this practice will help them. Initially, those capable of doing it well were given the opportunity. Now the class leader allots the students, according to alphabetical order and the students enthusiastically await their turn.

5. Evidence of Success

This practice of morning assembly, where all the staff and students come together, was started from the beginning of the college in 2002. It is still going on, with more features like the message by the students and the singing of college anthem. That shows, the success of this practice.

The effort taken by the students to prepare a message and present the same to their peers helps them to be role models. Everyone notices a difference in the conduct of the students. They gradually become outgoing, service minded and gentlemanly. The college anthem sung together is a daily reminder to everyone of their vision and mission.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Since this practice of morning assembly was introduced from the first day of the college, there was no resistance from anyone. However, in the initial years, due to poor transportation facilities, it was not easy for all to attend the assembly. On occasions some students used to be late thus missing out the assembly. With sufficient hostel facilities, this issue has now been addressed. However, with the number of students on the rise the frequency of opportunity for students to deliver a message has now been reduced.

7. Notes

This practice does not require any financial resources. The benefits are multifarious. However constant monitoring, feedback and timely helps are a must to ensure the regularity of the practice and to maintain its quality.
