Annexure III: Best Practices 1

Best Practice 1

Title of the Practice: Alumni as Potential Resource

Goal: To share the knowledge resources of the alumni for the benefit of the student

population of the discipline.

Context:

Former students are the knowledge capital of any higher education institution and

reconnecting with them to the currently enrolled students of the same institution and

discipline is one of the fundamental tasks of any institution. This realization form the basis of

the occasional visit of the alumni and the impact of the interaction with students is the

context of origin of this practice. It was successfully practiced in the Department of English

besides others and IQAC suggested that this be made a best practice.

Practice:

Practice involves the location of the alumni and identification of the achievement, whatever it

br, and providing an opportunity for the interaction. This practice should make use of the

knowledge dimension of the process allowing a space for the memories and nostalgia of the

revisit of the former student. Payyanur College was able to practice it extremely well and in

the sense that the college brings into its fold internationally known scientists like S.S.

Bhatnagar award winner Satheesh C Raghavan of IISc and P Kunhikrishnan, Project Director

of Programmes, PSLV, ISRO besides other very talented people.

Evidence of Success:

The practice was very successful as students could interact with world-renowned young

scientists and national and international figures who are former students. A visible change in

some of the students is the signal that they believed that they could also dream of attaining

such results. Some of the students joined institutions of repute like IISc and some faculty

members were able to collaborate also.

Challenges:

Eminent scientists have very little time to spare.

Best Practice 2

Title of the Practice: Preserving Cultural Heritage

Aim: To preserve tradition and connect the present generation to the art performance of the

folk and classical artists.

Context: Malayalam department has the bounden duty to preserve local culture and

familiarize the young generation to the performance of folk art. That is one way of

preserving cultural diversity. The association with the folk lore and teaching and research

experiences of the faculty led to this determination to take up the challenge.


Practice: Involves the arrangement for the presentation of the folk arts in the campus.

Location and identification of the artists and art forms, making arrangements for the

performances which are mostly rituals are the rest of the task.

Evidence of Success: The performance and the conducting of the programme itself are the

signs of success. Folk art forms which have no space at all are given space for performance

and a community of young audience in a modern institution make the very attempt a success.

Challenges:

The greatest challenge is the arrangement for the practice as it involves ritualistic aspects,

time preferences and elaborate make-up. The accompaniments are not easy to transport and

an institution may not be able to afford a band of folk artists from a distant place.
