Preface

The purpose of Higher Education is to promote excellence in all the spheres of

knowledge useful to development of mankind. Excellence requires multi-dimensional

and multi-directional exercises in improving the quality of education. A quality

education is the one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to become

economically productive, develop sustainable lively hoods, contribute to peaceful and

democratic societies and enhance individual well being. Basic principle lies on the

fact that the individual should have high level of literacy, numeracy and basic

scientific knowledge and life skills.

Universities are the seats of Higher Education in India besides, IITs, NIITs,

Central Universities and other organizations. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan during early party

of 1950’s suggested nearly 2000 universities by turn of the century besides stressing

on quality. However, during the last 25 years the country has witnessed a rapid

impressive growth with approximately 800 universities resulting in 8.15 percent (68

million) graduates in various fields of higher education.

Karnatak University established in year the 1950 is the second oldest in the

state very next to Mysore University. At present it covers four districts viz., Dharwad,

Uttara Kannada, Gadag and Haveri. It originally occupied entire northern part of

Karnataka, but had to share the development made due to creation of Gulbarga,

Davanagere and Rani Channamma Universities. Nevertheless it occupies excellence

in various fields of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Life Sciences, Social Sciences

and Linguistics. Looking at its all-round development in the past two decades, the

University has been grouped among the best universities in India. It is pertinent to

mention that UGC, New Delhi has accorded the University with Potential for

Excellence (UPE) status since 2013. NAAC has accorded ‘A’ Grade till 2021.

Knowledge Commission headed by Dr. Koutino recommended Karnatak University

besides Mysore University to be developed as a centre of Excellence. It is hoped that

Government takes proactive steps to implement the recommendations.

In order to improve the quality of education with rapid development of

globalization, the UGC and NAAC have been taking steps for strict implementation

of accreditation of Universities academia.

Academic and Administrative Audit (AAA) is an annual exercise in this

process of institutional evaluation. In this exercise a team of experts from various

AAA 2016-18 2

disciplines visits all the Departments, Hostels, Administrative Sections, Library and

other support services on the campus. The report of the AAA Committee is on the

public domain and is generally displayed on the University website. The sole purpose

of this proposed Academic and Administrative Audit is to focus on the enhancement

of quality and good work culture in the Universities.

The present Committee under my Chairmanship had an excellent composition

of experts coming from various states in India and were from disciplines of arts,

science, social sciences and agricultural sciences. The team of nine members (List

enclosed) was divided into four teams with an internal member viz., Deans of the

various faculties nominated by Karnatak University. The visit was spread over a

period of three days on 6th, 7th and 8th December 2018. The Committee examined the

performance of the post-graduate departments for the period from April 2016 to

March 2018.

The four teams (A, B, C and D) independently visited the department and saw

the infrastructure and equipments and interacted with the faculty members of the post-

graduate departments, research scholars and students. During the visit to

administrative sections the Committee interacted with Deputy/Asst. Registrars,

enquired about recent changes in policy matters, e-governance, e-tendering etc. In the

hostels the Committees inspected the rooms and excellent structures of rooms, (viz.

Nijalingappa Hostel) patiently listened to the problems and grievances of the students.

It was a pleasure to visit the University Scientific Instrumentation Centre, Innovation

and Incubation Centre, Skill development centre, Library, Computer Centre,

Botanical Garden etc.

The Committee particularly appreciates University involvement in education

and social upliftment, by adopting a village Mansur. It is commendable that

University looking to its success, aims at adopting 5 more villages in future.

The report is briefly outlined in the form of observations, commendations and

recommendations. The Committee also examined the action taken/Compliance report

on the recommendations of the earlier AAA Committee visited during 2016.

It was during the exit meeting on 8th December 2018 that all the Committee

members expressed their happiness and satisfaction and also suggested steps for the

future growth of Karnatak University. The Committee unanimously thanks Dr. P.B.

Gai, the Vice-Chancellor for his keen interest and particularly, the authorities of

AAA 2016-18 3

Karnatak University, the Director, IQAC, Internal Members and IQAC Staff for their

logistic arrangements, hospitality, secretarial assistance and co-operation.

Personally for me, with a background of agricultural sciences and experience

in accrediting Agricultural Colleges and Universities it was healthy intellectual

interaction and I am happy that the inputs of the Committee were well received.

Karnatak University being the leader in the region is to bring the excellence in

education with all sincerity and devotion. I am happy to state that young energetic

students, devoted teachers shall continue to strive hard to maintain the glory of this

University par-excellence.

Two Best/ innovative/healthy practices followed by the Department/Sections /Centers Personal contact from professional point of view the teachers and students. 15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats)

a) Strengths: The Dept. of Foreign Languages does not exist in most of the Universities in India. Moreover, the learning & teaching of Foreign Languages is prevalent only in KUD in the whole of North Karnataka region. The large scope in terms of employment in the job market is plenty in globalised context & all the students have better job prospects. Hence, the Dept. boasts of 100% placement.

AAA 2016-18 11

b) Weakness: The Dept. is highly understaffed there are no permanent teachers in the P.G. Dept. Hence, the efficiency at professional level has been coming down drastically.

c) Opportunities: Students & public at large can make use of the opportunity to learn foreign languages Since this is the only University in the North Karnataka region to be having teaching and learning activity Ours is one of the few Universities in the country to be proud of having the PG Dept. Foreign Languages.

d) Challenges/threats: From Futuristic point of view learning & Teaching of Foreign Languages may decline if the Dept. is not equipped with permanent faculty.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) : Technical Staff required for computer typing with soft skills 17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section.: To request authorities to fill up the teaching posts and to start several need based crash courses in Foreign Languages. Observations:

The entire unit of Foreign Languages presents a deserted look. Only Russian and French Language Programmes are conducted with only

temporarily staff. 25 Desktop Computers are lying idle without maintenance in the Lab.

Commendations: NIL Recommendations:

Vacant posts for Russian and French languages to be filled up on priority basis.

A separate directorate of Foreign Languages to be established. More Foreign Language programmes in German, Japanese etc. to be started. Computer Lab to be renovated and idle computers to be used for conducting

training for Students.

Independent building for MBA

AAA 2016-18 46

The same has been communicated to the University authorities 14. Two Best/ innovative/healthy practices followed by the department/Sections/ Centres Open House, Management Association, Meet the Executives, Industrial Visits.


KIMS was started much earlier to any other well known Management Institutes in the state. Over the 42 years of its existence, KIMS has successfully carved out a niche for itself as a leading B-School in the State.

The broad strength and weaknesses are:

a) A long history of Quality Management Education and hence well respected by the industry and society at large.

b) A strong well established Alumni who help in Summer Inplant Programme, Major Con-current Project. Final Placement of students and also help in updating our course curriculum. Whenever an Alumni visit the Institute, he or she interact with the students by sharing current happenings in the industry. There are around 1800 students who graduated from our

Weaknesses: a) We are housed in a temporary building which is inadequate to meet the

present requirements with the infrastructure facilities. b) Our infrastructure is not commensurate with those required for Management

Institutes.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space) Independent Building with adequate infrastructural facilities.

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section. 1. Plan for new building 2. Encourage startups from the Department 3. Focus on placement activities. 4. Encourage to take up minor/major project. Observations:

The Institute is fully equipped with teaching faculty. The Institute is facing shortage of space and infrastructure to accommodate

large numbers Students. Institute has affiliated MBA Programme in 12 Colleges of the University.

Commendations:

Innovative curriculum and pedagogy is designed and developed. Professors are actively engaged in Research projects and publications. Institute has some good practices like Parents meet, Alumni association, open

house, Management Fest etc.

AAA 2016-18 47

Institute has initiated canteen facility fully managed by the students. The unique achievement of the Institute is its Students-placement- record with

over 80% success rate.

Recommendations:

Separate building with better ambiance to be provided for the institute. This would enable to strengthen the brand image of KIMS.

Institute should encourage the scholars to publish in Scopus indexed journals. Professors should initiate consultancy services and thereby generate more

resources for the University.

12. Is counseling for students available? If so, what are the tangible results? : Yes (Give a brief note)

Department has no formal counseling unit, but as and when guidance and counseling is needed by students, they are helped by teachers in solving / guiding them in proper matter. Karnatak University, Dharwad has a special bureau for the purpose.


Recommendation / Observation by AAA committee made are being complied with

14. Two Best/ innovative/healthy practices followed by the Department/Sections/ Centres Individual compulsory project assignments are given to the students of

M.Sc.III &IV Semester to inculcate research aptitude and research orientation to the students.

Conduct of regular visits to cancer Hospitals, Medical Colleges and other institutions to enhance their knowledge.

Under the Morgan Club Department conducts varies awareness program by way of radio talks and television intervision by faculty to create awareness among the public about the genetic disorders prevalent in this part of North Karnataka.

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats) Strengths:

The Department excellent research background and is training the young student generation for quality research in animal and Human sciences

Faculty is actively involved in interdisciplinary teaching and research programme at the interest of present need.

Faculties have received prestigious awards/ fellowships/ projects from various national international agencies/organizations like DST, UGC, DBT and other funding agencies.

More than 90% of our students have got placement in teaching field and research institutions/organizations of national and international. Looking at the

√

AAA 2016-18 50

teaching research and placement opportunity, the strength of students increasing year by year.

Though Department has few faculty members the strength is less compared to the vastness of the subject. Hence we are difficult to run the course through teaching assistant, guest faculty and visiting Professors.

Weakness : Depleted faculties strength. Inadequate infra structure facilities particularly students lab/class room and

lack seminar hall. Inadequate supporting staff.

Opportunities: The student graduates from this department have ample opportunity in

research, laboratories in India as well as outside India. The student graduates from this department have opportunity in medical

colleges where MCI has made the establishment of genetic laboratory mandatory in all the medical colleges.

Our students have also opportunity in animal breading forms and chick breading forms, where they can use their molecular genetics knowledge in enhancing the dairy and poultry products.

Threats: The Department has a challenge to train the students coming from rural

background and poor communicative skills. The infrastructural and instructional facilities are not proportional to the

increased intake of students year by year. Therefore, it is difficult to do justice for individual interaction with students.

Most of the students to opt for technical/professional courses, as a result for applied sciences like Genetics getting average and below average students.


At present department has only one class room and department required another one class room and a separate library cum reading room is needed. We need one auditorium also for organizing a workshop or refresher course or a week or two. Hence, an addition auditorium cum seminar hall will help us to organize seminars/ workshop/ refresher course more often. We do not have a ladies room in our department and among M.Sc. students more than 95% are girls. Hence, there is a need for ladies room with attached washroom

Drinking water facility for faculty, students and research scholars


To conduct short term workshops in the use of molecular biology techniques for Ph.D. students of Life science departments in collaboration with KIDNAR.

To develop a comprehensive database of Genetic disorders based on Pedigree analysisof different population of North Karnataka.

At present there is no Drosophila facilities in the University Campus which can be used for study and research purpose

AAA 2016-18 51

As the students of the Department having many practical's in Drosophila Genetics, are facing lot of problems because of lack of Drosophila Facilities and are taking assistants of some of the other institutes which are situated far away from Dharwad.

Considering above facts it is essential to establish Drosophila house facility in the Department of Applied Genetics.

At present there is no animal facility in the University Campus which can be used for research purpose. As the Applied Genetics is interdisciplinary subject some of the experiments are based on the animal models

Considering above facts it is essential to establish Animal house facility in the Department of Applied Genetics.

Observations:

Entrance to the department requires a good look. Only two permanent faculties are working in the department. The department has collaboration with other organizations for research. The department is taking support from KIDNAR for research activities.

Commendations:

The students of the department are qualified KSET and NET examinations. The students of the department are being well placed in reputed organization

and industries. Extra space is being provided by addition lab facility.

Recommendations:

Appointment of additional faculty and non teaching office staff is urgently required.

Educational tours with emphasis on visiting research organization may be introduced in the curriculum.

Wash rooms with sanitation facilities are to be provided for the girl Students.

Strength:- 1) Well Qualified teachers are teaching the students. 2) Good infrastructure with internet facility is available in the department for

research activities.

AAA 2016-18 82

Weakness:- Department is suffering from the acute shortage of permanent teaching faculty from the last 15 years. Opportunities:-

There are good job opportunities for M.Sc. Geography students, if they are well trained in remote sensing and GIS techniques. There is a good scope for the development of GIS lab in the department. The University may take steps to provide all necessary GIS softwares and related infrastructure.

Threat:- 1) If the recruitment of regular teachers with required specializations is not made,

it will have negative impact on the overall development of the department.


The departments requirements are as follows: Staff:- Permanent faculty members are to be appointed. The required non-teaching staff to the department is also to be provided by the university authorities.

Equipments: The necessary GIS and Cartographic equipments/instruments may please be provided at the earliest.

Space: The present building of the department of Geography not convenient. And it consists small rooms for theory and practical classes. Hence, if a separate building is given for the department of Geography it will help for conducting the teaching programme smoothly and conveniently and also for research activities.


To get more number of regular teachers with specializations. Io have GIS Softwares, RS imageries and GPS instruments to develop a full-

scale GIS laboratory and cartographic instruments. Observations:

The department has three faculty only, with all being from Arts background. Although the M.Sc. degree is given, all the students and faculty are from Arts.


Students require GIS software and training. The teaching at laboratory need to be given importance. More number of library books to be procured. The Chairman may be instructed to make attempts to fulfill the requirement of

students as given in the student feedback, like, water facilities, ladies rest room, better instructions at laboratory and theory classes.

8. Faculty to be encouraged to go for research projects Although it is difficult with only one faculty member in the department, efforts are being made to prepare major project proposals.


Every student of the Department is sent for Mine training at the Hutti Gold Mines Company, Huttior Sandur Manganese and Iron Ores Ltd.

Consultancy services are extended to the public in the field of Ground Water and Economic Minerals Exploration.


Strengths: The Department has adequate space and better infrastructure. Department has one of the best museums in the state, which provides access to the wealth of geological knowledge to school children, who visit department regularly.

Weaknesses: Lack of teaching faculty members in the Department. Opportunities: There are ample of employment opportunities for our students, especially in Central and State Government Sectors, National Research Organizations, Teaching Field and Private Mining and Oil Exploration Industries within and outside the country.

AAA 2016-18 86

Threats: Due to lack teaching faculty, the students’ strength for M.Sc. course is drastically decreasing. If this trend continues, it is difficult to carry out academic programs. 16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space)

Staff: At present, only one teaching faculty member is there in the Department. It is essential to have adequate teaching faculty in the Department to accomplish the academic requirement. Equipments: Two more Reflected & Refracted Ore-Petrographic Microscopes are required for conducting routine practical of Ore Geology.


The syllabus of M.Sc. Applied Geology course will be revised giving more emphasis on the applied subjects like Natural Resources and Management, Remote Sensing and GIS and Computer Applications.

Research students will be encouraged to carry out inter disciplinary research work in collaboration with the National Research Institutes and Mining Industries.

To make efforts to conduct campus interviews for placements of students of the Department.

Observations:

The department has a very Good history.

It has a very good and neatly maintained museum.

The department has acute shortage of faculty as reported in the earlier AAA

Committee report.

Admission is poor.

Commendation:

Excellent rock museum.

Recommendations:

The department needs to maintain the equipments well which are not being in

the working state from past few years with respect the M.Sc. Labs.

Some important research equipment is also not in working state. They may be

shifted to USIC after due repairs.

Required faculties need to be appointed.

Necessary attention be given to attract students to seek admission to the

department and steps need to be taken to improve the admission.

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept.,/Centre/Sections (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity

and Threats)

Strengths: The Department has excellent research background and is training the young

student generation for quality research in animal sciences. Faculty are actively involved in interdisciplinary teaching and research

programme at the interest of present need. Faculties have received prestigious awards/fellowships/projects from various

national international agencies/organizations like DST, UGC, BRNS, CSIR and other funding agencies.

More than 90% of our students have got placement in teaching field and research institutions/organization of national and international. Looking at the teaching, research and placement opportunity, the strength of students is repute increasing year by year.

The department has organizing knowledge enrichment programmes like lecture series, conference, awareness programme etc.,

Weakness : Depleted faculties strength. Inadequate infrastructure facilities particularly students lab/class room and

lack seminar hall. Inadequate supporting staff. Restriction on animal usage for teaching and research by Animal Ethical

Committee & UGC. Opportunities: Zoology graduates have good opportunities in teaching field, Research

laboratories in India as well as abroad. Zoology graduates actively involving in competitive exams and enter in

variety of administrative positions including judiciary. Zoology graduates have good opportunities for self employment in poultry,

fisheries Sericulture & apiculture including organic farming and employment opportunities.

Threats: The Department has a challenge to train the students coming from rural

background and poor communicative skills. The infrastructural and instructional facilities are not proportional to the

increased intake of students year by year. Therefore, it is difficult to do justice for individual interaction with students. As most of the students are opting for technical/professional courses, as a

result the basic science including Zoology getting average and below average students.


1. Staff both non teaching and teaching 2. Equipments according to the strength of M.Sc. students. 3. Class room, Auditorium and laboratories needed

At present department has two class rooms and one of the class room is also converted into library. Department library has more than 1200 books Hence, whenever both class rooms are in use library cannot operate.

AAA 2016-18 104

Therefore, a separate library cum reading room is needed. We need one auditorium also. Since there are only two class rooms (one among them houses library), there is constraint for lecture hall whenever we need to organize a workshop or refresher course or a week or two. Hence, an addition auditorium cum seminar hall will help us to organize seminars/workshop/refresher course more often. We do not have a ladies room in our department and among M.Sc. students more than 80% are girls. Hence, there is a need for ladies room with attached washroom

The department has a separate Museum and one need to take care of museum specimen and maintain a record of museum specimen. Hence, there is a need for one museum curator.

Drinking water facility for faculty, students and research scholars


Short term training programmes for students in Aquarium Construction and Management.

Programmes on personality development and communication skills. Hands on training Programmes for students in Applied Zoological

aspects. Health & Hygiene Awareness programmes of public interest. Short term training programme/workshop on current techniques on

fundamental aspects in Zoology. Plans to apply inter – departmental projects Plans to collaborate with other institutions within the country and abroad for

research work. Observations:

The department has good faculty and student ratio. All the faculty members are engaged in active research. The department is well maintained.

Commendations:

The department is supported with SAP DSA-I programme by UGC- New Delhi.

Faculty members have received awards / fellowships and are attending overseas conferences.

The department has well maintained museum which is also in use for practical instructions.

The department has obtained permission from CPCSEA-an animal ethical committee, for maintaining and using animals for experiments.

Good research publications.

13. Action taken report (progress/development made by the Department/Sections/ Centre after the last AAA visit (2015-16)

1. The Faculty members have published / their papers are awaiting publication in reputed journals as books.

2. Selected Research Scholars were deputed to participate in the Research Methodology & Research Paper Writing workshop conducted by the Human Resource Development

3. Reading materials in Kannada are procured to the department library and the faculty members regularly provide the students with books and articles in Kannada from their personal collection.

4. In addition to the ongoing Project UGC-UPE/HDU-1 Historical and Archaeological Heritage Remains in which all the members of the teaching faculty are involved, a couple of faculty members have got projects sanctioned by ICHR.

5. The recommendation regarding the School of Historical Studies is discussed in the Department council and it is resolved to refer the matter to the higher authorities of the University for further action in the matter.


Best or Healthy Practices of the Department. The Dept of History and Archaeology has a forum known as Historians Workshop

which caters needs of the students of academic, cultural and co-curricular activities.

The successful students who have cleared SLET/ NET exams and achievers are invited to give motivational address to our students and such achievers are felicitated in the department of Inaugural / Valedictory function.

Experts from all walks of life like Historians / eminent scholars are invited to address the students.

The department plans to continue the ongoing research project under UGC / UPE/HDU-I

AAA 2016-18 122

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept./ Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and Opportunities and Threats) SWOT Analysis of the department

The Department has had the distinct reputation of contributing to the study of Art, History and Archaeology. Recently some new areas of study .i.e. subaltern history are being included in the syllabus and students are working on those themes for their Ph.D

The department has a departmental Library with more than the 530 books on different aspects of history which are being used by the Faculty and students.

Field work for the post-graduate students as part of their project work is introduced since 2010-11 academic year and the department plans to make it a regular feature.

Weakness After the retirement of few senior professors, who were specialized in

Medival History, Art History, Cultural History and Archaeology a couple of year ago, the teaching of Archaeology, Art History is now restricted to introductory aspects i.e. Art History and Architecture principals and methods of Archaeology .The field research in various branches of History, Art and Architecture and Archaeology may suffer if the teacher trained in these branches of History are. not appointed. Opportunities

The department has taken an initiative in training the students in English language and communication skills. Through the Historians’ Workshop, the Association of our Department short term training program in preparing for NET/SLET examinations have been organized in 2016-2017. Many students of the department have got opportunities to serve as teachers in schools, colleges and universities of Karnataka the Archaeological Survey of India, the state department of Archaeology, Archives, Police, Railways, Karnataka Administrative Services etc.

Threat: With students seeking admission to M.A Course to the intake capacity of

department, the updating of the syllabus from time to time to make it relevant for the research & job needs of the students & sufficient infrastructure and faculty, there is no threat perspective whatsoever.


Requirements of Department -

Teaching Staff : Out of 11 sanctioned teaching posts, only 4 (four) faculty members are presently working and remaining 7 (seven) teaching posts are vacant. The three senior teachers of Department retired during 2013-14 academic year and one more teaching faculty retired during 2017-18 academic year. Lack of required number of teachers (i.e. Minimum -06 teachers) has caused problem in the continuation of UGC / SAP/ DRS -Phase II. Due to low faculty strength, the Department has so far been unable get the SAP/DRS- Phase II.

One Non-Teaching Assistant is still required.

AAA 2016-18 123

Infrastructure Requirements

A well equipped Seminar Hall with 200 seating capacity.

Two Class rooms with Seating Capacity of 80 each ( In view of total MA Intake

of 95 Students)

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section. An Independent building for the Department has been a long felt need. It can be

of great help in broad basing the activities of the Department. The Department intends to make NET / SLET Exam coaching Programme a

regular feature in collaboration with the Equal Opportunities Cell of the University to train the students to do well in the competitive and eligibility exams.

If new recruitments are made in the next year, the Department Plans to introduce new Diploma Courses like Diploma in Art History, Diploma in Heritage Study and Diploma in Archival Studies.

To continue the ongoing research project under the UPE. Consultancy to the Researchers from within the State and outside / abroad, who

seek guidance from the members of the faculty in the areas of their study is in place. It is intended to develop this activity further.

Observations:

Student strength is good. Inadequate faculty strength. Most of Publications in Kannada. Very weak placement of students. Publications are scanty.

Commendations:

The department has very good museum and is very well maintained. Good library with sufficient books.

Recommendations:

Faculty members have to publish research papers in National and International journals.

Faculty members have to be actively involved in Excavations. Projects from National and International funding organizations may be

obtained by the faculty. The communication skills of the students needs to be involved.

(Scholars) are given individual passwords so that they can access to Electronic Resources, including UGC Infonet resources from anywhere within in the campus.

4. The department has undertaken the UPE project entitled “The Role of Gram Panchayat Libraries in creating Awareness among the Rural elite for Preservation, Conservation and Management of Water Resources in North Karnataka: A Study” and has completed the project. The project report was submitted to University. The department has planned to undertake several projects in future.


The students are actively participating in the Plantation programmes, Blood donation camps and other social welfare activities. The Department conducts number of extra-curricular activities like conducting Quiz competitions, debates, etc. to improve communication skills and develop stage courage among the students. Apart from the regular classes prescribed in the syllabus, the faculty members do conduct special classes on competency and skills development like soft skills, communication skills, ICT skills, management skills and information handling skills etc.


Strengths 1. The Department has a blend of experienced teachers who can impart quality

education to the students. 2. The curriculum is updated regularly according to the changing technological

environment and needs of the job market. 3. Strong network of Alumni spread wide across the country and can help

students in the job placement. 4. The Department has a solid foundation laid down by the founding fathers. 5. The alumnae of the department are in close touch with the department and

they also help in providing the placements to our outgoing students. Weaknesses 1. The class rooms are not having sufficient space to accommodate the students

comfortably. 2. IT Infrastructure needs to be upgraded in terms of number of computers. 3. As the students come from rural back ground they are weak in

communication, particularly in English. 4. Limited exposure to the students as compared to the students of Metropolitan

cities. Opportunities 1. New job markets for students in Multi National Companies, Software

industries, national importance institutions, public libraries and media libraries.

2. Increased number of organizations providing scholarship for meritorious students.

3. Increased opportunities for undertaking research projects which are funded by the agencies like ICSSR, UGC and other funding agencies.

AAA 2016-18 127

4. Increased access to the scholarly literature through electronic resources (e-databases, e-books, e-journals, e-theses and dissertations).

Threats 1. Growing number of Library and Information Science schools in the vicinity

resulting in competition. 2. Declining number of applicants for MLISc course. 3. Negligence from the State Government in filling up the Post of Librarians in

various Government, Aided Institutions and public libraries. 4. Reduced funding from the University Authorities due to the paucity of finance

and budget restrictions.


1. The Departmental Computer Laboratory needs to be strengthened by providing 30 high configured personal computers.

2. To provide seating facilities to the students the Computer Laboratory the department required 30 new chairs.

3. In order improve the research facilities in the Department the faculty members and research scholars need Legal version of Predictive Analytics Software (PASW).

4. The University needs to fill up One Assistant Professor position in the Department which is vacant since couple of years.


1. Organizing short term programmes for the working librarians. 2. Organizing extra classes for the MLISc regular students to prepare for JRF /

NET / SET examinations. 3. Designing and fine tuning work for KULISA Alumni Directory is in progress.

An independent website for the department has been developed with the URL www.dliskud.org which will provide all the ongoing activities / information of the department.

Completed 3 minor project sponsored by UGC-UPE 1. “Evaluation of Water Usage and Conservation: Knowledge and Practices

among Secondary School Children in Gadag District” Principal Investigator- Dr S Y Swadi

2. “Water Conservation and Usage: An Assessment of Knowledge and Practices among Secondary School Girl Students in Dharwad District”- Principal Investigator- Dr. S R Mane

Uniform clothing for MSW students of the Department and Department of Social Work of P.G. Centres of Haveri and Gadag is introduced. Support of Alumni association. Students counseling.

Field Work programme. Social Work Camp, Study Tour, Summer placement, Block placement and Dissertation/ Research project. And conduct of Extension activities


Strengths: The nature of the course which integrates the theoretical and practical

components in its training enables the trainees to acquire skills of working with people at various levels and in varied situations. The employability of the students thus gets enhanced and increases the percentage of job placement. Besides being an applied course, it also contributes to the development of the overall personality of the student trainees, who can groom themselves in to the change agents. This is one of the most important strengths of the department.

The competent and dedicated staff, very good and a strong net-work with field work agencies for all the components of field work, the sufficiently motivated and dynamic students; the alumni who are ever ready and eager to extend their help, very cooperative agency supervisors are some of our strengths.

Weaknesses: The inability of the department in convincing the university authorities about

the uniqueness of the course and impressing them to permit the department to have certain amount of autonomy in limiting the students’ intake, having a separate academic calendar, scheduling examinations keeping in view the conduct of academic programs which need to be scheduled as per the convenience of the external agencies where the students need to be sent for practical training.

AAA 2016-18 150

Inability of the department to prevail on the students to opt for English medium, in view of the language policy. A large number of students since opt for Kannada Medium, a gap occurs in the teaching-learning process. This also affects their employment prospects.

Opportunities: The course with its recognition, even by the international developmental

agencies, provides very good career opportunities to the student trainees in the domestic as well as international employment market.

Threats: The acute competition the trainees face from graduates of Management, Home

Science, Developmental Studies, Rural Development, etc, whose boundaries overlap the operational areas of Social Work is an important threat the faculty has to discern with. Unless the course is revised keeping in mind the latest market trends and the needs of clients, sustenance of the course will also be put to stake.


The Department requires additional teaching staff-especially considering the superannuation of two professors during the academic year 2017 & 2018. Further, the K.U.P.G. Centres at Haveri and Gadag too require adequate number of permanent teaching staff. This course being a professional course, adequate staff shall greatly facilitate not only handling theory courses, but also managing the field work programs which require an extensive net-working with GOs, NGOs, CBOs, VOs, etc.

Adequate space is one of the most essential requirements of the department. This has been one of the long pending, unfulfilled appeals, which is not only hampering the progress of the department, but also defeating the very essence of the course. This is basically because, the very nature of the course requires each faculty member to hold individual and group conferences-maintaining due confidentiality-with his/her field work supervisees practically on every working day, except on the days on which the concurrent field work is scheduled. For the want of space the members of the faculty are required to share the chambers, which not only defeats one of the most important principles of the profession and but also that they are unable to provide individual attention to their supervisees.

The inadequate class room space is putting the increased students’ strength to a lot of inconvenience of cramming themselves in the available space.

Further, a well equipped computer laboratory, a direct telephone line, a scanner, a fax machine, etc., are some of the important requirements of the department. The availability of these shall definitely strengthen the department’s efforts of promoting effective teaching-learning initiatives.

AAA 2016-18 151

The very nature of course is such that the students get the necessary counseling almost on all walks of life. Whatever needed students are counseled on individual basis also.

13. Action taken report (progress/development made by the department/sections/ Centres. After the last AAA visit 2015-16)

1. Many students make use of the Gandhi Bhavan auditorium for their competitive examinations. Efforts are made to motivate the in-house students to utilize the library.

2. The student intake for P.G. Diploma is full to its quota. But the rate of dropouts for examination is slightly higher. However we are trying to reduce the number of dropouts. The response of students in the last couple of years is quite encouraging in terms of their performance in the academic and extension activities. The number of students for OEC in Gandhian Studies is also increasing considerably and these students are quite regular to the classes and their performance in the examination is also considerably good.

3. P.G. Diploma in Gandhian Studies is an add on course. Students do not entirely depend upon this course for their prospects. However this course has motivated students to do their jobs sincerely.

4. The Department has enhanced outreach programmes. Along with the students the faculty stayed in two different villages and carried out social service activities over a week.

5. We have requested the University authorities to fill the vacant teaching and non-teaching posts so that the teaching, research and extension activities can be carried out as a team work. This is not happening precisely because of paucity of teaching and non-teaching staff in the Department.

6. We will request the University for the supply of some more computers for the use of students. This can help the students and the teachers make use of the available digital books on Gandhiji.

7. We are regularly holding inter-collegiate elocution competitions for the students regularly and the number of participants in these competitions is quite big in number. This way we are motivating our students to develop the art and science of public speaking. In the ultimate analysis the observations and recommendations of the earlier

AAA Committee were quite encouraging. The Department will make all out efforts to make Gandhi Bhavan the nerve centre of the community around the campus. The University authorities were kind enough to increase budgetary allocation this year. And there is an assurance from the authorities on the enhancement of budgetary allocation in the existing Budget Heads relating to library facility etc.

14. Two Best /innovative /healthy practices followed by the department/Section/ Centre.

Inter religious prayer meetings and training on meditation and Yoga is undertaken on regular basis. 1. Of late we have started organizing Photo Exhibition on the life and works of Mahatma Gandhi in Collaboration with the Department of Field Publicity

And State Archives, Government of Karnataka. These Exhibitions have evoked a very good response from student community to interact with different N.G.O’s and Governmental organizations like Nehru Yuva Kendra etc.

AAA 2016-18 164


Never before in our country the necessity of Gandhian thought and activities assumed so much importance because of the problems faced in the field of peaceful co-existence and a harmonious life especially in the communal sphere. Therefore, we decided this year to focus our attention on Gandhian programs in relation to communal harmony and national integration and we are happy about performance

of the activities in this direction. The Department actively assisted all the activities of N.S.S. and N.C.C. Camps held in Gandhi Bhavan. In some of these programmes Dr. S. V. Shettar has acted as Resource person. He actively associated himself with the Department of Forestry in the A forestation programmes. So also he has acted as venue coordinator in organizing the Inter-Zonal Youth Festival. Strength: Department has its own Library. Sincere and punctual staff is available for guidance to the students. The Department has very good relationships with the community around. The methodology for teaching is based on ICT and the staff is techno

savvy. Weakness:

Number of dropouts is more now-a-days. Need to take up research projects. Non availability of study material/books in Kannada. Students are weak in English Language.

Opportunities: Students have openings in NGOs. Our Ex students have an opportunity to serve as better N.S.S. officers. Every college wants to start the Gandhian Studies Center and the Dept.

has an opportunity to help them. Exploring the possibility of introducing the Gandhian Studies as a full-

pledged P.G. Course. Threats:

To retain the students admitted for P.G. Diploma. To introduce the subject at U.G. Level. Decrease importance of Values and Morals in the contemporary society. To convince the students that Gandhian Studies is more relevant today

than ever before. 16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure, Equipments and Space)

The vacant teaching positions should be filled up at the earliest. The existing auditorium has acoustic problem. It has to be attended to on top priority basis. Gandhi Bhavan Museum needs to be developed in the existing building only. Fencing wall needs to be built to secure this important central facility of the university. We require scanners and a Xerox machine so also the battery backup for the existing computers.

AAA 2016-18 165


We have a desire to develop Gandhi Bhavan as a nerve center of community service in the region and we would really like to develop it as a most secular institution in tune with Gandhian thinking. We would like to develop a Gandhi Museum which should become the center of attraction to the visitors of our University. We would like to bring out some publications in the near future.

Observations:

Very good infrastructure.

Very well maintained.

Good Library.

Extensions activities are carried out.

Commendations:

Renovation of Gandhian Studies building.

Audio-Visual methods to reproduce Gandhian functions.

Recommendation:

Good publications in English are to be done.

13. Actions taken report(progress/development made by the department/sections/ Centres after the last AAA visit 2015-16)

The centre does not have any Diploma program. But it has now imitated the process. The papers, syllabus, etc, for starting a diploma course in the centre in the near future is under process. As of now only Open Elective Course (OEC) is offered by the Centre, for which there is a very good response every semester. The strength of students has increased every year.

The OEC course is taught by a Visiting/Guest faculty appointed by the University and that is sufficient and adequate. As and when the Diploma course is started, regular staff may be appointed by the University.

14. Two Best/innovative/healthy practices followed by the department/Sections/

Centre

- The Visiting/Guest faculty of the Centre does counseling for all the students of our University

AAA 2016-18 180

15. SWOT Analysis of the Dept/Centre/Sections (Strength, Weakness and

Opportunities and Threats)

1) The Centre offers an Open Elective Course for students across the Department of our University. The students are attracted by this course as it helps them in the development of their overall personality.

2) The Centre does not have a regular/fulltime teaching staff who can fully concentrate for the development and activities of the centre.

3) The centre has good infrastructure facilities-class rooms, library etc. 4) A Diploma/Certificate course is proposed to be started in the future which

can help the students in the overall development of their personalities and also give a proper understanding of Swam Vivekananda’s thoughts and philosophy for the upliftment and well-being of our society.

16. Requirement of the Department/Centre/Sections (Staff, Infrastructure,

Equipments and Space)

The Centre has sufficient space and infrastructure for the academic activities. The Centre is away from the main buildings and therefore needs proper security arrangements. The compound wall in the back side needs to be repaired. The cracks on the walls, leakage in the domb structure and floor of the building also need to be repaired. Some of the doors in the building are attacked by termites and they need to be replaced. The centre needs regular/permanent staff as and when the Diploma Course is to be started.

17. Future plans of the Department/Centre/Section -To introduce the Diploma Course in Swami Vivekananda’s Philosophy/thought.

Observations:

It has excellent infrastructure. They have excellent meditation centre. Open Elective Course (OEC) is offered. The centre does not receive any external funding other than University.

Commendations: Very well maintained centre having serene atmosphere.

Recommendations: They have to start more outreach programmes. They should take the message of Swami Vivekananda to the common man in

the catchment area of the University. Syllabus of OEC needs to more relevant to the centre. Principles of Swami Vivekananda may be spread to all P.G. Students by

periodical lectures and video programmes. P.G. Students could visit the Vivekananda Memorial at Kanyakumari.

The issue of upgrading the P.G. Programme into a Department has been placed before the Ho’ble Vice-Chancellor during Advisory Committee Meeting held on Dec 08, 2016 (2016-17). The Advisory Committee has accepted the proposal and has asked to submit a proposal on the said issue to be further placed before the Syndicate committee. Further, submitted the proposal to the Hon.Vice-Chancellor for needful action.

2. Outreach Activities to be strengthened

Irregular funding by UGC towards Research Centre has resulted in lesser outreach activities. However, the centre is engaged in collaboration work with Social Work Department of Karnatak University in conducting outreach activities.

Both the courses are open for graduates irrespective of their Faculty. Equipped with an Interdisciplinary teaching & research staff Program Content is context relevant Increasing intake demand for M.A. Programme and OEC Incorporation of new teaching practices Instructional Approaches (Students work together in small groups) Critical Analysis of Case-studies/Discussions Experiential Learning (interaction in the Field) Interdisciplinary teaching (inviting Resources Persons from various disciplines Learner Centered Teaching (Seminars, Discussions, Feedbacks stc) Problem-based Learning (Instructional Method to challenge student to “Learn

to Learn working in groups” to seek solutions to real world problems. Weakness

Irregular funding from the UGC to run the activities & staff payment at the Research Centre

Insufficient & inadequate infrastructure No permanent recruitments (teaching, administrative & research staff) Financial Insecurity from the university (UGC requires UC with the

expenditure funded by the university for which there is no support). Dropouts (30%)

Recommendations

1. Vacancy of teaching staff:

i. There is an urgent need to review the faculty positions in Departments. Thin strength of teachers is leading to heavy workload and dilution of effective teaching. On the other hand some departments are constrained to apply for external research funding like UGC-SAP programme.

ii. Many senior teachers with lots of expertise have superannuated and left for better opportunities. This has caused void not only in number but more so on the knowledge.

iii. Teachers from Govt. and aided and junior colleges with good experience, qualified in specialized areas are available, whose services could be utilized on deputation.

iv. Deputation and provision of sabbatical leave in specialized areas from neighbouring states and abroad as a special case can also be used.

v. Refresher courses, capacity building workshops to teachers is recommended.

Other Vacancies: Besides teaching faculty, vacancies of laboratory support in terms of Laboratory Assistants, and clerical staff to administrative offices, hostels, related support sections, estate office, need immediate look for management and administration. 2. Curriculum/Syllabus/BOS: There is need to revisit the post-graduate syllabus interms employability skill development and basic research involving interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary areas incorporating emerging areas of IT, Biotechnology, nano-technology, basic studies in Physics, electronics and life sciences. Similarly in Social Sciences and Languages may be followed. BOS could be reconstituted for effective restructuring of syllabus. 3. Collaboration with local universities, Collaboration with University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad: In the fields/areas of biotechnology, microbiology, vermiculture, women’s studies can be established. Research in social sciences with Agri Economics marketing, post harvest storage and processing are additional areas of collaboration. ‘Krishimela’ is greater attraction to students to get exposure to learn Agricultural development. Similarly, association with Law University, IIT- Dharwad, KIMS-Hubli, JNMC-Belgavi are additional avenues for collaboration. 4. Strengthening University P.G. Centres at Haveri, Gadag and Karwar is required in terms of faculty and infrastructure. Atleast an associate professor be made head of the Campus and designation may suitably be modified.

AAA 2016-18 214

5. Students across the departments very strongly demanded rest rooms and toilets and drinking water facility. The committee feels of constraints of girls students whose strength is also high in the University.

6. Hostels: A couple of hostels need to be repaired. Fans, drinking water need particular attention. One more new girls hostel is recommended.

7. Museums: There are couple of museums viz, Botany, Zoology and History etc. New building are also made available. The resources to modernize be explored through governments funding.

8. It was found in few departments that the equipments are not put to use and also not repaired. Special assistance to keep the equipment repaired be given.

9. Teachers and Research students from related departments may join together to conduct monthly seminars, conferences at state, national and international level.

10. Research scholars may be provided with fellowships, assistance ship for their financial supports. Students need to be encouraged by senior faculty to apply for fellowships.

11. Publications: Good number of journals and periodicals are brought out by the University. Attempts may be made to improve ratings of the publications to attract research paper contribution from University faculty and outside. Editorial body with external experts may be required to improve quality and standards. Private and Governments Colleges may be identified to other special P.G. Programmes to effectively get the service of local experts and infrastructures. Dandeli College offering P.G. Degree is a smart example.

Space Problems: With increasing students intake in the University for PG Programmes, the department including established departments are facing space problems, ambient atmosphere (toilets/drinking water) for effective learning situation. Long-terms and short-terms immediate requirements may be planned to solve the problems.

Alumni Association: The committee could not get exposure to alumni association. It is certain that university has one. Opportunities could be explored for financial assistance, employments, teaching assistance and many more activities at departmental level and university level. Alumni association is like a dynamo. Many private universities are run by funding of alumnies.

AAA 2016-18 215

Energy Park: The committee also recommends the university on starting energy park with emphasis on renewable energy resources like solar, wind, organic, wastes gasifiers biogas etc. There are opportunities to use solar energy for lighting and heating in hostels, Departments and lecture halls. Recycling of biodegradable wastes as biogas and manure for plants has tremendous possibilities. Technology for big and small plants be explored. Funding from departments and renewable energy be explored. Proper roof top harvest is an wonderful possibility of water shortage crisis. Recycling of hostel and residential waste water for gardening is a possibility. Planting of energy trees/fast growing plantations not only save soil run off but also provide water by giving for small tanks. Thereby providing build-up of ground water, favourable ecosystem and combat the rising environmental hazards.

FM Radio and AIR: University may have its own FM Station. All India Radio may be approached to allot a slot for 15 minutes to highlight the opportunities and achievements of university. University in consultation with other state universities can review necessity of course duration of M.Ed. course.

If funds could be possible, general amenities like swimming pool, open air theater, may be considered. Accreditation of the affiliated college is also very necessary for quality education. The private colleges may be assisted and encouraged to get their institutions accreditation.

Technologies: Technologies developed through research may be popularized. Publication and communication to the end users be made. Wherever possible, worthy technologies be patented. Dharwad is well known for music. Many music activities in public are held in the twin cities. Active participation of students and faculty must be able to use it. In house performance at departmental level is required. Department of Foreign Languages needs total rehaul in terms of faculty, students, infrastructure and committee recommends introducing of couple more foreign languages. Geology Department correspondence can be made popular. Premises be kept clean. Campus requires beautification. Roads are to be repaired.

It has only 20% of institutions are NAAC accredited. The CDC need to reach college and train and encourage them to apply for accreditation.

There are certain departments which are eligible to get grant from various organizational programme like DST- FIST, UGC- SAP, have not applied for. Such department may be mentored to do so.

(Dept. of Biochemistry) As stated in the earlier AAA Committee report, again it is suggested to apply for DST-FIST and UGC-SAP.
